Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Page 58

Nami's face darkened: "..."

The thought of her "colorful" future life made her want to cry.

This is not something she should have to endure at her age!

What are you talking about?

Kuina, who had stopped practicing her Observation Haki and was wiping her sweat with a towel, walked over here.

Seeing Nami's sour expression, she asked curiously, "Nami, what's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

"Kuina!"

When Nami saw Kuina arrive, she sternly accused Rocks of "deceiving" her: "Were you also deceived by Rocks? His name is wrong. If it's exposed, we'll be hunted down by a Marine Admiral!"

Kuina blinked: "I know, so what?"

"?"

Nami's expression froze again, her eyes widening: "You...you know?"

"I know."

Kuina nodded, her tied ponytail swaying with her movements: "And then?"

Nami looked utterly hopeless, like a salted fish that had lost all its dreams: "I'm dead, my heart is dead..."

Kuina: "?"

What's this little girl up to?

With a quick thought, Kuina realized something, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Don't worry, Rocks and I will protect you. No matter what enemies we face in the future, we will defeat them."

Nami still pouted: "Of course I know that, but I'll be a burden to you all..."

Disembarking is, of course, out of the question.

She will accompany Lox and Kuina on their journey, no matter what dangers lie ahead.

Of course, there was fear and panic.

But more than anything, he was worried about his own future, and also about the safety of Lox and Kuina.

If such a thing really happens, she won't be able to help at all and will be a burden!

She didn't want anything to happen to Lox, Kuina, and the others!

Chapter 60 Old Duke: This kid is famous throughout the world for his swordsmanship?

"You little girl, you think of a lot."

Lockes smiled and said, "You are my navigator, how could you be a burden? You are a greater help to us than you think. We could not have sailed here without you."

"We will need your knowledge to cross the great sea route we are about to reach and the new world of the future."

"You are more important than me, the captain."

After a pause, Rocks looked at Nami and smiled, "Besides, no one is born strong. As long as you have the desire to become stronger, you will become strong too."

"We need to protect you now, but you'll be able to protect us in the future. There's no rule that says a navigator can't be stronger than the captain or first mate."

Can I become stronger?

Nami looked at Rocks with sparkling eyes: "Become stronger than you guys?"

"OK!"

Locke nodded: "As long as you train diligently, you may very well become stronger than us in the future. You must believe in yourself; a strong will is true strength!"

I've made up my mind!

Nami's tone suddenly became excited, her face filled with determination and excitement!

Just when Rocks thought Nami would say something passionate about becoming stronger, he was about to say something like that.

What he said next made Lox's lips twitch...

Nami raised her small hand and said in a very serious tone, "I will supervise your training so that you become stronger than everyone else, so that you can defeat any enemy you encounter!"

Kuina: "..."

She thought Nami would say something inspiring.

Is that all?

"Never mind..."

Lox rubbed his temples, speechless. "Whatever makes you happy."

"Hmph, I was invited aboard by you, so of course you have to protect me!"

Nami gave a haughty snort: "You absolutely can't expect me to fight. I'm just a cute fifteen-year-old girl. Fighting and killing aren't for me!"

of course.

That's what they say.

However, she didn't want to be able to help only with navigation.

The idea of becoming stronger had been planted in her mind like a seed, waiting to take root and sprout...

……

Just as Locus's ship continued its journey toward Upside Down.

The events that occurred in Loguetown were also spread around the world by newsbirds.

This has attracted considerable attention worldwide...

……

An island in the East China Sea.

Rocks' hometown.

"The first bounty was 130 million Berries, breaking the record in the East China Sea. He truly has the qualities of a 'sea overlord'!"

"but……"

Old Duke held a newspaper in his hand, looking at the wanted poster with a look of surprise and uncertainty: "What's the deal with the black-haired swordsman? This kid is famous throughout the world for his swordsmanship?"

"Judging by this kid's swordsmanship... Could the Navy have made a mistake?"

He wasn't surprised at all that his son had a bounty of 130 million Berries on his head.

Others may not know the strength of this little monster, Rocks, but he knows it perfectly well.

This number isn't too outrageous...

What puzzled him was... that Rocks was famous for his swordsmanship?

Is this for real?!

What is the Navy's intelligence system even doing?

How could Rocks's swordsmanship, which resembled wielding a fire poker, actually garner so much attention?

Even his title was bestowed with the title of "Sword Master"...

"Could it be that I misjudged him? Is there something unique about that kid's swordsmanship?"

Old Duke wondered if he had misjudged Rocks and underestimated his talent in swordsmanship.

But after a moment, he shook his head: "Impossible, that kid's swordsmanship is really hard to assess..."

"The navy must have made a mistake, or maybe this kid is hiding something, just like his name suggests..."

Old Duke felt he had guessed the truth.

The bounty poster only had a title and no name, which clearly indicated that the Navy did not know much about Rocks.

Otherwise, he wouldn't only have the title of "Black-haired Swordsman"...

Could Rocks have become world-renowned for his swordsmanship?

He can laugh at that joke for a long time!

"Good lad, still as cautious as ever, you haven't forgotten my teachings!"

Old Duke praised Rocks's caution, saying that hiding oneself when one lacks absolute strength is the right thing to do.

He taught Lox in the same way.

"You've already caught the Navy's attention, so your name won't be hidden for long. Let the name 'Rocks' be known throughout the world again. If it's you, you can definitely do it!"

Looking at the familiar face on the wanted poster, old Duke smiled with satisfaction.

Then he muttered to himself, "But I still have to be careful, kid, don't let anything happen..."

Although everyone knew that Rocks was powerful enough to dominate the East Blue, it was impossible not to worry, as no one could predict the unexpected.

After two months without a single word, Duke was naturally delighted to see Locke still alive and kicking.

I also let go of the worry in my heart.

But another concern arises from this.

The Navy has already taken notice of Rocks, and the name "Rocks" won't be hidden for long.

He could probably guess what Rocks would go through then.

This is the price of bearing the name "Lox".

However, he still believed in Lox, and could only believe in Lox; this kid wouldn't let him down!

……

Donghai Shuangyue Village.

Yixin Dojo.

On the horizontal steps of the dojo, Koushirou was reading a newspaper.

I read about the events in the newspaper and saw the bounty poster for Rocks...
