Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Page 430

She vaguely guessed where Rocks' next move would be...

Rocks smiled and said, "Yes, since 'Pirate Godfather' Wang Zhi has a grudge against the old man, let's settle that grudge."

"And while we're at it, let's seize Hive Island. It makes perfect sense for 'Lox' to use Hive Island as its base, doesn't it?"

"Let's go then, it's not a big deal."

Kuina continued drying her hair, saying calmly, "I heard that place is a pirate's 'paradise'? How does its strength compare to the 'Emperors of the Sea'?"

Rocks shook his head: "I don't know..."

"do not know?"

This surprised Kuina.

Rocks... or rather, Rocks' adoptive father was an intelligence operative.

There are many things that are currently happening that Rocks is aware of.

Beehive Island and "Pirate Godfather" Wang Zhi were not insignificant figures, yet Rocks didn't know them?

Kuina was genuinely curious: "Don't you have any relevant information?"

Lox shrugged: "I don't know everything either..."

There aren't many scenes featuring Wang Zhi in the original work; he's only mentioned once or twice.

How could he find out about the other party's situation?

He doesn't actually have any intelligence agency...

He's just a time traveler!

With a snap of his fingers, Locke said casually, "But they shouldn't be too difficult to deal with. They're not even the 'Sea Emperor,' so they're unlikely to be our match."

Having been defeated by Blackbeard and Coby working together, what kind of powerful figure is Wang Zhi, the "Godfather of Pirates"?

Anyway, it's not enough to reach the level of a "sea emperor"!

Then there's no need to be too wary.

Just push it straight through!

Kuina's eyes shone brightly: "Just give the order. No matter who the enemy is, let's fight!"

"That's it."

Lox smiled, then held out his hand to Kuina: "Give it to me."

"Huh? What?"

"I'll wipe it for you."

"Oh……"

Kuina blinked and handed her towel to Lox.

Then she obediently sat down with her back to Lox, a slight blush appearing on her usually cool face...

After confirming her feelings one day, she had no intention of hiding them.

Swordsmen are inherently fearless, and the same applies to love!

"Now that I am the world's greatest swordsman, when do you plan to challenge me?"

Sniffing the faint fragrance emanating from Kuina, Locke gently wiped the water droplets from her smooth hair with a towel and chuckled softly:

"But let me make this clear first: I will not accept swordsmanship that is merely about technique!"

"Once I've mastered all three types of Haki to a high level, I'll challenge you!"

Kuina pursed her lips and said, "But you can't use your Devil Fruit powers, that's so unfair to me..."

"How can that be? Hawkeye didn't say anything, did he?"

"He is him and I am me. You're too abnormal. If you use your abilities, I don't think I'll ever be able to surpass you. And you haven't even awakened your powers yet..."

“I don’t mind, but even if you win, you won’t be recognized as the ‘World’s Greatest Swordsman’.”

"What else can I do? I'm somewhat 'desperate.' Compared to a psychopath like you, anyone would feel powerless..."

Kuina sighed.

As time went on, Rocks' strength increased far too quickly.

It was so fast that she felt powerless...

It wasn't that Kuina was discouraged or lost her will and belief, but rather that Rocks was simply too terrifying.

Rocks hasn't developed his Devil Fruit to the point of awakening yet. If he waits until it awakens...

Guina felt that she could never catch up with Lox, no matter how hard she tried.

Then we can only lower the "requirements"; being able to defeat Rocks without using his abilities in swordsmanship will suffice.

Being the "world's greatest swordsman" within the "insider" circle is enough...

Rocks laughed and said, "You can also try eating a Devil Fruit; it will greatly help improve your strength."

"Now is the era of Mythical Zoan. Although Mythical Zoan are precious, I can plunder other people's Devil Fruits. It's not difficult to find a suitable Devil Fruit for you."

"No! I won't eat a Devil Fruit!"

Kuina gazed into the distance: "Although those who wield swords are swordsmen, any swordsman can challenge the world's greatest swordsman."

"But I still want it to be 'pure,' so how about we have a 'pure' swordsmanship battle?"

Slightly turning to the side, Kuina glanced at Lox out of the corner of her eye and gave him a beautiful smile: "Don't tell me you're scared, if you're scared, then admit defeat!"

After drying Kuina's hair, Lox casually tied it into a high ponytail and laughed, "I give up, it's settled then. Come challenge me again when you feel confident."

Kuina swayed her ponytail and nodded: "Just you wait!"

"Speaking of which, what about the Black Blade Autumn Water that you got on the Thriller Bark? Why haven't you used it?"

“I already have Wado Ichimonji, so I don’t need it. But I left the black sword Shusui with Mr. Rayleigh. I asked him to give the sword to Zoro if he ever meets him. That kid will definitely come to the New World to find us!”

"Give it to Zoro? That wouldn't be bad."

Rocks had no idea about this.

However, giving Zoro the Black Blade Shusui would be a good idea.

With Zoro's talent and strength, he will not disgrace the name of the Black Blade Shusui.

Inheriting the sword from one's "ancestor" is quite a story.

"But if you're so good to Zoro, what about me?"

"Huh? You're jealous?"

"No... um..."

Before he could finish speaking, his words were cut off by a pair of red lips.

This made Lox's eyes widen...

Soon, their lips parted, and Kuina, blushing, tossed her hair and said with a smile, "Is this enough?"

So this is what kissing feels like?

Not bad at all!

The sweet aroma still lingered on his lips. Lox smacked his lips and said, "When did you become so bold?"

Although he had long since sensed Kuina's feelings.

But Lox didn't expect Kuina to kiss him first.

Kuina stared into Lox's eyes and tilted her head slightly: "If you don't take the initiative, someone else will snatch you away. After all, to me, everyone else is just a 'fish-stealing cat'!"

Locus shook his head and sighed: "Sigh, people are just too outstanding. There's nothing I can do about it. I didn't want to be like this either. I didn't even try to show off my charm!"

Kuina rolled her eyes at Lox: "How come I never realized before that you're actually quite shameless..."

"One more time?"

"What? Hmm..."

"..."

Feeling like she could barely breathe, Kuina quickly pushed Rocks away, panting slightly, her face flushed: "That's enough, everyone else needs to get up..."

Locke said nonchalantly, "They all drank quite a bit yesterday, so they didn't wake up this early. It's just that you're a bit bouncy and I have a special constitution, otherwise none of us would have been able to wake up this early."

"Oh dear, what are our captain and first mate doing?"

Just then, a meaningful voice rang out. Robin, who had just walked over, glanced at the two of them and said sarcastically, "Could it be that I've come at the wrong time?"

When did their relationship reach this point?

She didn't even notice!

Upon hearing Robin's voice, Rocks stiffened, but greeted her naturally, "You're up so early too, Robin."

"..."

Kuina wasn't as shameless as Rocks; her face was flushed red.

I wish I could find a crack to crawl into...

So embarrassing!

Someone actually saw it!

Robin said meaningfully, "Yes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."

"You...you guys chat, I have something to do...I'll be going now..."

The shy Kuina couldn't stand Robin's teasing gaze, and after saying something in a flustered manner, she quickly left...

Robin is really something.
