Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Could this lead to another "Emperor of the Sea"?

Duanshan Island is located at the border between the territories of the Red-Haired Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, and is not far from the territory controlled by the Big Mom Pirates...

It's such a coincidence that she ran into "auntie" Charlotte Linlin, isn't it?

Robin wondered, "Could Charlotte Linlin have come here too?"

"We also offended them because of Snag."

"That's unclear..."

Lockes hadn't expected such a coincidence.

It's true what they say, nothing is more coincidental than a story...

It can only be said that the golden lion was destined to survive; such a thing just happened to them...

"Let's deal with them when we run into them again..."

Rocks wasn't too concerned. The Golden Lion was a threat now, but it wasn't that significant...

I doubt he could even beat Yixiao.

There's no need to worry about the opponent's Float-Float Fruit ability; Issho's Gravity Fruit can counter the Float-Float Fruit in certain aspects...

Nami brandished her fist, her face full of anger: "Next time we meet, I'm going to electrocute them to pieces! How dare they lay a hand on us? They're asking for trouble!"

What legendary pirate?

Anyone who dares to provoke them is courting death!

Moria shook his head: "But this era is getting more and more lively; even an old monster that disappeared for nearly twenty years has reappeared..."

Robin nodded in agreement: "It must be because our captain's reputation is growing, right? For many people, the name Rocks is an indelible memory..."

"Hooray hooray hooray, even those legendary pirates from the past, weren't they all driven away by the boss? The boss is the strongest!"

"Lord Rocks will defeat all enemies!"

"Captain Brother is the strongest!"

No matter how chaotic this era is, the many members of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group believe that Lox will defeat everyone and become the "god of the new era"!

Since setting sail, Rocks has never lost.

Not even once!

Lox was both amused and exasperated: "You're putting a lot of pressure on me..."

At this time.

The Whitebeard Pirates have arrived here.

Whitebeard looked Rocks up and down and laughed, "Gurara, Rocks kid, did you take down that old guy, Golden Lion?"

Rocks shook his head: "No, I ran into Charlotte Linlin. I fought her and then left. I didn't have time to deal with Golden Lion..."

Whitebeard sensed the animosity between Rocks and Charlotte Linlin, and after a moment's thought, he remembered something from the past: "Oh, I remember now, Duke had ten years of his lifespan taken away from him..."

Lockes nodded: "Yes, I'll naturally avenge the old man."

Whitebeard clicked his tongue: "Gurara, she's just unlucky. Who would have thought that something she did years ago would come back to haunt her..."

"She must be feeling pretty bad right now, right? Knowing your personality... it's definitely not just about fighting one more battle..."

"Give her a good thrashing!"

Lockes grinned: "That kind of injury might delay the tea party for a while. Let's collect the interest first..."

Whitebeard paused for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, "Luckily, I never offended Duke, or I would have been in real trouble..."

What does it mean to have a really tough time?

Even the "Emperor of the Sea" would be wary of being targeted by a monster like Rocks...

Whitebeard suddenly said, "So... your next target will be that old bastard Wang Zhi?"

"That old bastard not only took over Hive Island, but he also tried to lay a hand on Duke..."

Rocks was taken aback: "Huh?"

Wang Zhi...

The name Lox was not unfamiliar to him.

The other party was also a former member of the Rocks Pirates, and in the original work, he became "Blackbeard" Teach's "pawn"...

I never imagined he had actually laid a hand on old Duke.

"You do not know?"

Seeing Rocks' reaction, Whitebeard realized he might have been too talkative...

Lox squinted and said, "Mr. Newgate, may I ask?"

To be honest, the reason why Rocks knew that Charlotte Linlin had taken away ten years of Duke's life was because Duke accidentally mentioned it while drunk.

Lox only learned about this after pressing him for details.

So it was recorded in the signal manager.

Old Duke had no intention of letting Rocks avenge him; it was all Rocks's idea!

"Forehead……"

The white-bearded man twitched the corner of his mouth.

I thought that since Rocks knew Duke owed him a favor, he should also know about this matter...

After all, the favor Duke owed him was related to Wang Zhi...

Seeing Rocks' expression, Whitebeard thought for a moment and then said, "During the God Valley Incident, Duke stole a lot of Rocks' treasure..."

"There were other people doing the same thing at the time, Wang Zhi was one of them. When he saw Duke... when he saw Duke also starting to rob treasure, he attacked Duke..."

If it weren't for Whitebeard's intervention, Duke would have died at Wang Zhi's hands!

Before Duke left, he said he owed him a life, and that he would treat Duke to a drink if they met again sometime...

"Is this even possible...?"

Rocks counted on his fingers, then gave a meaningful smile: "The old man's strength is definitely no match for Wang Zhi, so it was Mr. Newgate who saved my old man?"

Old Duke owes Whitebeard a huge favor, and this is probably the reason.

He had always thought that old Duke owed Whitebeard a favor, and that it had something to do with Charlotte Linlin...

very good!

Wang Zhi, right?

He remembered it too!

"Gulala, that's all in the past."

Whitebeard chuckled. "I don't need you to repay me for what I did with Duke. Knowing he's still alive and well is enough."

"I saved him because we were drinking buddies, not because I wanted him to repay me. It was just a matter of lifting a finger to me."

"One thing at a time."

Locke said earnestly, "As I said at yesterday's banquet, I, as the son, should naturally repay the old man's kindness. One should not be ungrateful!"

Old Duke must avenge his wrongs and repay his kindness!

This was a decision that Rocks made when he set sail...

Chapter 256 Kuina and Robin's Kiss! Nami: I was here first!

After a banquet was held on the Black Demon.

The next day, everyone else left.

Rocks only mentioned "Blackbeard" to Whitebeard in a vague way.

Whether the other party listened or not, Lox had no idea...

Simultaneously.

Redhead also talked to Rocks about some things.

To be precise, it was Shanks asking Rocks about his true purpose and goals.

Rocks casually mentioned his "goal"—to do whatever he wanted!

After hearing this, the redhead fell into deep thought.

Then the matter was put behind them, and Shanks didn't pursue the topic any further.

At this moment, on the Black Demon.

'Honeycomb Island? That's a good choice...'

Reclining on his deck chair, Locke counted on his fingers, pondering his next goal.

Although it went "rampant" once, the Great Demon is still not far from launching its next "attack".

Locus desperately needed a safe place to deal with the Great Demon's "attack".

He has quite a few enemies now.

Currently, Lox needs to find a territory of its own.

Beehive Island is geographically located away from the territories of other "sea emperors," making it a good location that would prevent conflict with them.

In addition, I learned from Whitebeard that Wang Zhi also had a grudge against Old Duke...

Taking over Beehive Island would be the best option!

"What are you thinking?"

After finishing her daily training and taking a bath, Kuina walked over, drying her long, wet hair. Seeing Lox deep in thought, she asked him curiously.

Locus then revealed his next plan: "We need to find a territory of our own. The Great Demon's 'attack' may be very fierce, and I need a safe location."

Kuina tilted her head: "Honeycomb Island?"
