Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

He and Whitebeard would never be enemies.

Upon hearing Rocks' words, Nami was quite surprised: "Huh? Huh?"

The other companions also turned their gazes toward Rocks, their eyes filled with curiosity...

Rocks' mysterious and powerful adoptive father actually owed Whitebeard a huge favor?

Rocks waved his hand, not explaining much: "Well, it's all old history. My old man was also a member of the Rocks Pirates and had a past relationship with Whitebeard."

Looking at the Moby Dick, Rocks thought for a moment and said, "Now that we've run into it, it's only right and proper for me to go and see Whitebeard."

"Strictly speaking, shouldn't I be considered the other person's 'junior'?"

It's a matter of fact.

Whitebeard was on good terms with Duke and had done him a favor.

In terms of age, Rocks was actually Whitebeard's "junior"...

Everyone: "..."

Rocks is a very arrogant and confident man, and now he actually says things like he's a "junior" to Whitebeard.

no doubt.

It was because of Rocks' adoptive father.

Rocks clearly valued his adoptive father highly, regarding him as the most important member of his family; otherwise, he would never have "lowered his status" for this reason!

Even if the other party is Whitebeard!

They seemed to understand Lox better...

Nami immediately said, "Let's go, let's go see Whitebeard. I'm also very curious about him. I often hear his name even in the East Blue. He has the greatest reputation among the Four Emperors!"

"Old Mo, turn the rudder and get closer!"

"You little rascal, you really know how to order people around..."

Moria, who was temporarily acting as the helmsman, was speechless.

Jinbe hasn't joined the crew yet, so the helmsman role is rotated. Sometimes even Captain Rocks takes over as helmsman...

There's no way around it; sometimes, the navigator's "orders" have the final say!

Even Rocks had to obey...

The Black Demon changed course and headed straight for the Moby Dick...

This scene was naturally witnessed by many people in this sea area, and their expressions changed instantly...

"Hiss... The Black Winged Demon Pirates are heading towards the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"What are you trying to do?"

"Are we going to start a fight here first?"

"Quick! Get back out of here! If these two sides start fighting, this place will be extremely dangerous!"

"..."

The encounter between the two "sea emperors," whatever the reason, is undoubtedly a major event.

If a fight breaks out...

That would cause even greater damage!

Many people dared not linger nearby and hurriedly drove away into the distance.

Fearing being drawn into the conflict between the two "sea emperors"...

On the other side, on the Moby Dick.

Naturally, some people also noticed the Black Demon approaching...

"White flag, black wings... This is the flag of the Black Wing Demon Pirates..."

Sweat streamed down the forehead of the lookout on the watchtower.

Then, he hurriedly and solemnly shouted down, his voice tinged with panic: "Dad, the Blackwing Demon Pirates are coming this way, and their target is us!!"

"..."

These words, like a bombshell, plunged the people on deck into a brief silence, followed by an uproar...

"The Black Winged Demon Pirates?"

Why would they come here on their own initiative?

"Are you here to provoke us?"

"..."

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates had various expressions and began to discuss among themselves.

The arrival of a "sea emperor" is something they need to take seriously!

"What's that Blackwing Demon up to?"

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes, then burst into a hearty laugh: "Gurara, you're quite the bold fellow!"

"Men, since we have guests, we must observe proper etiquette. We can't tarnish the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Although the purpose of the Blackwing Demon Pirates' visit is unknown.

However, they are just the Whitebeard Pirates, and they are not afraid of the other party!

Marco frowned and said, "Could they be after Ace? If I remember correctly, Ace knew them, right?"

Ace pointed at himself, bewildered: "Do I have such a big face that I actually made that monster come looking for me?"

Ace didn't think the Blackwing Demon would come over to exchange pleasantries with him...

He doesn't have that much face, does he?

He was just the captain of the second division of Whitebeard's army...

'Rocks...'

The fat, dark-skinned Teach muttered to himself, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.

He had been very interested in this "Lox" for a long time.

And as the other party's strength and status increased, Teach paid even more attention...

"Gurala, whatever the reason, since they're here, let's welcome them!"

Whitebeard took a sip of wine and laughed loudly, "Drop anchor, furl the sails, and wait here for the enemy to arrive!"

"I'd like to see what this kid is up to!"

The Moby Dick stopped advancing and waited quietly for the Black Demon to approach...

Everyone in the nearby waters turned their attention to that direction, watching the Black Demon and the Moby Dick slowly approach...

The atmosphere in the room seemed to become tense, and no one looked away.

The contact between the two "sea emperors" would be an extraordinary event even in the New World.

This deserves everyone's attention!!

"Getting closer..."

A pirate captain's expression hardened, his gaze both excited and grave: "Will a fight break out? I didn't expect to see this before the 'Swordsmanship Competition' even started..."

This trip was definitely worth it!

To witness such a rare sight!

On the deck of the Moby Dick, apart from Whitebeard, the other captains and crew members were also on high alert, their expressions showing a serious readiness...

*Sizzle!*

In their field of vision, at a certain spot on the deck, space suddenly fluctuated, then was torn open, revealing a pitch-black rift...

All eyes turned to that direction at the same time!

Then a person stepped out of the crack.

Rocks' gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on the white-bearded man in the main seat. He chuckled and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Newgate..."

Rocks arrives on the Moby Dick!

Chapter 246 has quite a history! A redhead "greeting"!

"..."

When Rocks appeared, the Moby Dick fell silent.

All eyes turned to Rocks, their gazes filled with scrutiny and apprehension.

There was also curiosity.

The Whitebeard Pirates were no strangers to Rocks, but they only knew about him from newspapers and intelligence reports; this was their first time actually meeting him!

First impression.

She is indeed very young.

So young that it's hard for many to believe it's real.

Such a young person is actually on the same level as his father.

One has to admit, "Blackwing Demon" Lox is truly a monster!

"Gurararara, you've been all the news lately, Blackwing Demon!"

Whitebeard remained seated, his gaze sweeping over Rocks from head to toe, before he grinned with a hearty smile: "Even I am deeply impressed by your reputation!"

The white-bearded man paused, then narrowed his eyes and said, "So... you've come to me of some kind of purpose, Blackwing Demon?"

What is the other party's purpose in coming?

Surely they couldn't have just come to say hello?

He didn't remember having any interaction with the Blackwing Demon. If there was any connection, it would only be that Ace knew the other party.
