Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Nami pouted and said, "Apart from some islands that aren't very fun, we've been doing this on any island with unique customs and culture, okay..."

Before they became famous, they were free to go anywhere without worrying about being recognized.

Since their fame became so great, they would disguise themselves whenever they landed on an island with unique local customs and culture.

In order to experience the island's local customs and culture in the most direct way!

"Yes, let's set off then."

Lockes nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a place to hide the Black Demon. This time, we don't need to leave anyone to watch the ship."

"I will take care of this matter."

Yi Xiao made his move.

Use your abilities to "dig" a gap in the shoreline, put the Black Demon inside, and then fill the gap.

Unless a thorough search is conducted, no one will know that there is a ship hidden here.

"Disguise yourselves so that you are not recognized."

Rocks slightly altered his appearance and put on sunglasses.

Even people who know him well might not be able to recognize him.

The others also used their own methods and disguised themselves...

Moria underwent the most significant change, using his powers to alter his shadows, which in turn altered his appearance, making him a completely different person...

Moria, whose appearance had changed, said to Rocks, "It would be quite eye-catching to act together."

"Should we split up and each go out to gather intelligence?"

"This group is indeed too conspicuous, so let's split up."

Lockes had no objection to this, but added a reminder: "However, don't act alone, as it's risky. If anything unexpected happens, notify everyone immediately."

Acting together would be too conspicuous; it would be better to split up and gather intelligence on our own.

As long as you're not alone, it's not a big problem.

Moria said to Perona, "Hehehe, that's fine then, Perona, you can come with me."

"Oh, I see, Lord Moria."

Perona actually wanted to be with Rocks so they could develop feelings for each other.

Her desire to be of higher status than Nami has not changed...

However, since Moria had already said so, she couldn't refuse and could only nod in agreement.

Next time, next time she must act alone with the boss, then use her beauty to impress him, and finally trample the seductive woman under her feet!

Wapa and Laki said they would act together, as they have always acted as a pair.

Leilia and Olivera, the siblings, also planned to act on their own. The island was famous for its food, and they wanted to check it out and gather some information along the way.

Yi Xiao was with Xiao Yi, and the way the two interacted felt like that of a father and daughter.

Rocks looked at Kuina, Nami, and Robin and asked, "What about you? Want to come along?"

Nami immediately said, "Of course I want to follow you, Xiao Luo!"

Kuina didn't object: "I'm fine with anything."

"Okay, I'll join you too."

Robin nodded, then smiled and said, "But I can also act 'alone'..."

As she spoke, Robin activated her power, and amidst the fluttering petals, a Robin who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old appeared in the arena.

This is Robin's flower clone.

Robin has developed her abilities exceptionally well, and can now create several flower clones.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old Robin said to the others, "I'll go explore the island by myself. My abilities are perfect for gathering intelligence, and I'll also investigate things that interest me..."

Robin was curious about the darkness of the island that Rocks had mentioned and wanted to investigate it.

Perhaps this could be of some help to their actions?

Then, sixteen or seventeen-year-old Robin left on her own, heading towards the town...

Rocks looked at Robin's main body: "Your clone isn't as strong as your main body, is it? With your strength, you can act alone."

Robin just smiled and said, "That's fine."

Acting alone is certainly possible.

But there's no need.

Anyway, she has the ability to create clones, so she can just let the clones do the work.

The clone shares the same consciousness with her; whatever the clone knows, she will know as well.

More importantly... she didn't want to split up with Rocks.

This is an island that symbolizes love and romance, and she doesn't want to lose to anyone else...

"Whatever you want."

Without giving it much thought, Lockes tore open space with his right hand: "Then let's set off. Investigating the deployment here is one reason, but more importantly, we want to experience the local customs and culture..."

The four stepped into the spatial rift and disappeared.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Guild had already silently landed in Dressrosa...

……

at the same time.

Inside a restaurant in the Dressrosa business district.

"What do you think is the purpose of the World Government's arrival in Dressrosa?"

A man and a woman sat at a table in the corner. The pretty girl with short orange hair rested her chin on her hand, looking at the blond teenager wolfing down his food in front of her, and said with confusion and doubt:

"The World Government and Doflamingo are colluding, surely not to investigate the darkness on this island?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

The blond teenager casually agreed, but didn't stop eating.

The girl with short orange hair frowned: "I really can't figure out the reason. Could something have happened in Dressrosa? Does the World Government need to maintain order?"

The teenager, wearing a top hat with goggles, spoke as he ate, his voice somewhat muffled: "If we knew, we wouldn't be here investigating."

"The problems in Dressrosa were already significant, and now that even the CP organization has shown up, it's definitely not a trivial matter. Let's investigate first..."

Members of the Revolutionary Army, dedicated to overthrowing the World Government, naturally pay close attention to some of the World Government's actions.

At the same time, Dressrosa itself also has considerable problems.

According to the revolutionary army's investigation, the weapons used in many places where wars broke out around the world all pointed to Dressrosa as their source...

This is one of the reasons why the revolutionary army arrived here!

"Kera, aren't you going to eat this? If not, give it to me..."

"...I've already taken a bite!!"

"Hmm? What's the difference?"

"without……"

The orange-haired girl named Kella sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

I'm speechless at this dim-witted guy...

After a pause, Kera added, "By the way, Sabo, don't you have a strange feeling? Why are only the two of us here for this mission?"

"This seems to be the first time this has happened in the organization..."

"Huh? Wasn't it always just the two of us?"

The blond teenager named Sabo was puzzled by his companion's words, and then made a guess: "Maybe the leader wants us to have some experience?"

Although Kera was still puzzled, she didn't dwell on it after hearing this: "Perhaps, the leader does indeed have high hopes for you..."

Sabo continued devouring his food, casually replying, "You're putting a lot of pressure on me by saying that..."

Kerla curled her lip: "You're a monster, what pressure could you possibly have? Even the army commanders might not be your match anymore..."

She has known Sabo for many years.

Amazed by the other person's talent and potential.

This is a monster!

Sabo shrugged: "What kind of monster am I? There's someone about my age who's now the 'Emperor of the Sea,' and even the captain might not be a match for him..."

Kelra knew exactly who Sabo was referring to and was equally astonished: "The Blackwing Demon, he truly is a monster among monsters..."

Without exception, everyone who knows what the Blackwing Demon has done considers him a monster among monsters...

"Speaking of which, the 'Light of Revolution' is currently on the Blackwing Demon's ship."

Kella thought of someone and said, resting her chin on her hand:

"The 'Light of Revolution,' which can decipher historical texts, is of great help to our organization, but it turns out we're already members of the 'Sea Emperors'..."

The Revolutionary Army had been searching for Nicole Robin, whom they called the "Son of Evil," for a long time.

However, there had been no news from the other party before.

Now we know that the other party has already become a member of the Blackwing Demon Pirates.

A member of the "Sea Emperors" is not someone their revolutionary army can easily approach...

Sabo, on the other hand, was more easygoing, saying in a relaxed tone, "It's the leader who should be thinking about these things; we just need to follow orders."

"Let's investigate the purpose of the CP organization's presence here..."

"Yes yes yes..."

Kerla nodded as she spoke.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the bustling scenery of Dressrosa outside the window.
