Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

of course.

Rocks also noticed Nami's nonchalant attitude at the time.

Nami probably only gave him a perfunctory reply because he bought a lot of oranges, and didn't take the matter to heart at all.

However, Rocks made a note of it.

A promise is a promise, and Rocks will not forget it.

We will also make a trip to Cocoyasi Village!

Kuina glanced at Lox: "She..."

In Japanese, the pronunciations of "he" and "she" are different.

Is she also a woman?

Rocks, oblivious to Kuina's gaze, nodded: "Judging by the time, Nami should be fifteen years old by now, right? She's old enough to go to sea!"

"Fifteen years old..."

After hearing this, Guina's expression turned strange.

Watching Rocks is like watching a pervert who's kidnapping a little girl...

"Ambition knows no age, and ability is not determined by age."

Rocks noticed Kuina's expression and concluded that she didn't trust Nami, who was only fifteen years old.

So he explained, "She has excellent nautical knowledge and once helped a merchant ship avoid a storm."

"She was only twelve years old at the time, which shows how strong her knowledge of navigation was."

"So you set your sights on a twelve-year-old girl when you were only fourteen?"

Kuina looked Rox up and down, her eyes filled with a meaningful look: "Do you have some kind of unusual fetish?"

They invited a twelve-year-old girl to be their navigator.

It's hard not to wonder if Rocks had some ulterior motive...

Chapter 9 The Buggy Pirates!

"What you're saying sounds really strange..."

Lox was speechless.

What special quirks could a gentleman like him have?

"I valued talent, and it was also preparation for going overseas."

Lockes explained, "You know how important a navigator is. We can't let such a talent slip by. We need to recruit him in advance. Age is not a problem!"

Kuina: "..."

Good guy.

She always knew that Rocks was confident and daring, but she never imagined he was this daring.

They actually plan to make a fifteen-year-old girl their navigator?

This is tantamount to handing the fate of the ship over to the other party.

That's incredibly daring!

The older a navigator is, the more experienced they become.

Young navigators are generally not given important positions, let alone a fifteen-year-old girl.

Perhaps only Rocks would dare to make this decision.

However, she trusted Rocks' decision, even though Rocks was a year younger than her.

But she believed what the other person said...

After a pause, Kuina said, "You said you needed 100 million Berries or to save her hometown, is there a reason?"

Rocks recalled the plot, saying, "Her hometown was occupied by a group of fish-man pirates. She either had to pay a ransom to get her hometown back, or she had to kill the pirates..."

"Pirates?"

Kuina knew the ruthlessness of pirates and had personally dealt with many of them.

Knowing the depravity of pirates, I know that those people are capable of anything.

Kuina then asked, "I've heard that fish-men are generally ten times stronger than humans. Are you sure about that?"

They couldn't come up with 100 million Berries, so they had no choice but to kill the fish-man pirates.

She also believed that Rocks would have no other choice.

The only problem is...

How strong are those fish-man pirates?

Although she had never been to sea, she knew some things about fish-men, who were said to have ten times the strength of humans!

"I haven't fought many people, so I'm not very clear about my own strength."

Lox hesitated for a second, then said confidently, "However, I am confident that dealing with mere merfolk should not be a problem!"

His previous plan to fight Koushirou was actually to assess his own approximate strength.

This sea is dangerous, teeming with powerful beings.

Only by knowing exactly what level his own strength was at could Rocks be more selective in what he did...

He is indeed confident in himself, but he is not arrogant.

The necessary caution is warranted.

Old Duke said he was strong enough to roam freely in the East Blue. That old man wasn't that strong, but he had good eyesight; after all, he was the floor cleaner for the Rocks Pirates...

Rocks also trusted old Duke's judgment.

Rocks didn't take the Arlong Pirates seriously at all.

If Rocks can't even get past a single Arlong Pirates crew, then he shouldn't even think about setting sail.

Just wait to have your soul devoured by the void and become a monster that only knows destruction...

Upon hearing this, Kuina didn't think much of it and said, "Then let's go pick up our navigator. With her by our side, we can go further in the future."

"Where is Miss Navigator's hometown located?"

"Cocoyasi Village in the Konom Islands".

Rocks had memorized nautical charts of some nearby islands and knew the approximate location of Nami's hometown, Cocoyasi Village.

"However, there is a problem now."

Lockes looked around again, his eyes meeting the azure sea. He spread his hands and said, "We're lost. We don't know where we are, and even with a nautical chart, we don't know how to get there."

"..."

Kuina was speechless and could only say, "Let's find an island to land on first, and then head to the Konom Islands after we've determined the area."

Lox nodded: "That's the only way."

……

one day.

Two days.

Three days...

For the next three days, the small sailboat that Lox and Guina were on continued to sail at sea.

We didn't see a single island, or even a bird, along the way...

On the deck at this moment.

Kuina, with her long hair tied in a ponytail, was practicing swordsmanship, holding the Wado Ichimonji.

The movements were graceful, yet carried a murderous intent.

Seeing Lox descend from the sky, stepping on thin air, Kuina stopped her cultivation, her face grave: "If we don't find an island or a ship soon, we're really going to starve to death on the ship."

"We only have enough food for one day..."

“I just saw a black dot up there; it could be an island or a ship.”

Lockes picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and laughed, "But whether it's an island or a ship, we can get out of this predicament!"

Observation Haki also has its limits, and Rocks couldn't use it all the time.

So he used the spinning top to fly high into the sky, using the high altitude to search for possible islands and ships.

Huang Tian deserves a caring person.

He saw a tiny black dot in the azure sea!

Kuina asked, "Where is it located? How far away is it?"

"It's not far. Go turn the rudder to the right and furl the sails while you're at it."

Lockes said something, then flashed to the stern of the ship.

Once Kuina turned the helm and furled the sails, Lox raised his right foot and stepped down.

With a 'thud,' the stern of the ship sank sharply as Lockes stomped on it, causing the seawater to cave in.
