Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

"My suggestion is that you, sirs, need to find a professional shipyard, and one with strong capabilities at that. I wonder if you have heard of the Seven Waters Island? I suggest you go and take a look at that island..."

He alone could not completely repair the Black Demon.

I don't have any precious wood like Adam's Tree on hand...

"The Island of Seven Waters? I understand, thank you, sir."

"There's no need for that. If you hadn't killed the Fierce Bear, this old man probably wouldn't have had many days left to live. You are my savior, sir!"

"It's just a small matter."

The two chatted for a few more minutes afterward.

Lockes learned more about the old man.

The other person's name is Johnson. He used to be a shipbuilder at the Seven Waters Shipyard, but left Seven Waters Island for some reason and returned to his hometown.

He later served as a sheriff in his hometown.

Then, because of his overly upright character, he recently offended the King of the West, "Fierce Bear," and is about to be publicly executed...

Because he had been a shipbuilder on Water Seven, Johnson happened to have a permanent compass that led to Water Seven, so he gave the permanent compass to Rocks...

Good deeds are rewarded!

Rocks sighed over this statement again!

……

Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.

Lox planned to clean up the criminal underworld in the West as a way of thanking Johnson for his help.

Johns was quite kind; not only did he not accept a single berry, but he also used the money that Rocks had given him for watching the ship to support the Black Demon.

Even Lox felt a little embarrassed.

He never takes advantage of others!

So, this is to clean up the criminal gangs on behalf of former sheriff Johnson and restore peace and order to the island.

Rocks acted quickly and had already wiped out the two criminal gangs.

Upon arriving at another gang stronghold on the island, a casino called "Golden Cup Casino," Rocks encountered someone...

A very famous person in the original work!

A middle-aged man with short black hair, closed eyes, an "X"-shaped scar on the left side of his forehead, wearing a light purple kimono with some stitches, wooden clogs, and carrying a cane-knife...

Looking at this man, Rocks' eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself, 'I didn't expect to run into him here, the future Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Fujitora...'

Lockes never expected that he would encounter such an important figure here.

In the future, he will be a top-tier fighter who will be exceptionally promoted to the highest combat power admiral in the Navy through a "world recruitment drive"...

"..."

As if sensing Rocks' gaze, the future admiral turned his head to look.

Those slightly open eyes, revealing only the whites and unfocused, met Rocks's gaze...

Then she smiled and quickly looked away.

He remained focused on the betting table in front of him, paying no attention to anything else.

"so it is……"

Rocks used his Observation Haki to sweep across the arena and "saw" some scenes from a spot on the ground.

Even with Rocks's extensive knowledge, the sight made him frown.

I also vaguely realized why this future naval admiral was here...

The other party is a righteous knight-errant!

Lockes walked over.

Seeing this, Yi Xiao began to place his bets, and Lockes also pulled out a stack of Berries from his pocket and threw them down.

It was the same bet placed by Yixiao.

"Buy now and leave!"

Seeing that no one was placing any more bets, the dealer lifted the betting equipment: "566, Big! Hahaha, sorry, you lost betting on Small..."

"Oh dear, let's continue..."

A smile was merely a sigh of regret for his own lack of progress, and a reminder that he would not continue to place bets.

Well, Rocks also...

Chapter 111 A chivalrous hero with a heart of justice, and a little girl named Xiao Yi!

After several more bets, Locke and Yixiao won more than they lost, and both had a considerable amount of chips in their hands...

However, this is a common practice in casinos: give them a small taste of success before taking all the profits.

They're really good at this kind of thing.

A new round begins.

However, this time Yixiao didn't rush to place a bet. He turned to Lox and said, "Your Excellency... which bet do you think you should place next?"

"This one will do."

Lox raised an eyebrow and bet all his chips: "This bet will win everyone. I'm going all in. Are you going to call?"

"with!"

Without hesitation, Yi Xiao pushed all the chips on her desk over.

Seeing this, the people at the gambling table exchanged glances.

A look of "a fat sheep taking the bait" appeared in his eyes...

Apart from Yi Xiao and Locke, everyone else at the gambling table was in cahoots with them.

This bet is special; if you win, you wipe out the entire field; if you lose, you pay out the entire field. This amount of chips isn't enough...

"What a spirited couple!"

The dealer's eyes lit up as he looked at the chips on the table and said, "Place your bet now!"

They can make a fortune from this wave.

"open!"

The dealer lifted the gambling equipment.

After seeing the numbers on the dice, he froze on the spot: "Huh? How is this possible!?"

Three little red dots, a leopard!

The bets placed were the same as those placed by Locke and Yixiao...

"I actually won! The payout is fifty per bet. I bet 500,000 Berries, so that's a total of 25 million Berries. This gentleman bet 1 million Berries, so that's a total of 50 million Berries."

Rocks did the math and laughed: "The money really comes fast. In just over ten minutes, I've earned 25 million Berries."

"Hahaha, I knew betting on you was the right decision! I made fifty million Berries in one go, enough to buy this casino..."

Even a smile is just a slight smile.

"How could it be such a coincidence? You must have cheated!"

Twenty-five million Berries, fifty million Berries—you couldn't even sell this casino for that price…

The dealer, naturally unwilling to accept this outcome, stared at the two men and said coldly, "You dare to cheat here? Don't you know what kind of place this is?"

"Sir, you should speak with evidence."

Lockes sat calmly in his chair, not even lifting his eyelids: "We didn't even touch the table, how could we possibly cheat?"

Rocks didn't do anything shady, but he did something funny.

Changing the numbers on a die with a Paramecia-type Gravity-Gravity Fruit couldn't be easier...

"Are you all trying to renege on your debts?"

He smiled and shook his head slightly: "Although I can't see, I can't tolerate even a speck of dust in my eyes..."

That's a double entendre.

He came here for one reason.

To be precise, it was to save one person.

A little girl who once offered him a helping hand.

And this little girl was in the basement of this casino at that moment.

Since he has received a "favor" from someone, he should do something within his power.

He could still manage to do his best...

He had already concluded that these people deserved to die, so he didn't want to waste any more time.

certainly.

The reason we waited until now to take action was because of Rocks' sudden arrival...

"Heh heh heh, a blind man and a greenhorn dare to cause trouble here?"

"Cheating is an intolerable thing for a casino. Brothers, what do you think should be done?"

This dealer seems to have some status in this casino.

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen or so people surrounded the gambling table.

They all wore lewd grins, looking at the two as if they were fish on a chopping board...

Surrounded by a large group of people, Locke remained calm, smiled at the person beside him, and said, "Then it's time for this righteous chivalrous hero to make his move. You're the one who caused this mess."

"That's how it should be."

He smiled and nodded, the cane-like knife in his hand half-drawn from its sheath.

With a 'buzz' sound.

An invisible force suddenly appeared.

Everyone except him and Rocks was pinned to the ground...

Faintly, one could hear the cracking sounds of bones breaking from these people, as if they were being crushed under immense pressure. Blood was spilling from their mouths, and their internal organs were being crushed...

"Excellent tactic!"

Rocks sensed this power and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

To be honest, Rocks really didn't think he could be a match for Yixiao now.

The opponent's strength is definitely at the general level.

And he wasn't a general like Zephyr, whose physique was declining and who suffered from asthma.

He is a general-level powerhouse at the peak of his strength!

He smiled and shook his head modestly: "It's nothing to mention. I only have a little bit of self-defense ability, barely enough to deal with some ordinary people."

Rocks smirked: "Your standards are pretty high. With your strength, you could be an admiral in the navy, yet you say you can only barely handle ordinary people?"

Excessive humility is just showing off.

How come I didn't notice when I watched anime in my past life that this guy is quite the show-off...?

"I am merely a blind man; how could I possibly be worthy of the position of Admiral? Your Excellency is certainly overestimating me."

Yi Xiao remained humble, looking at Lox, and slowly said, "Your Excellency has come here today to rid the people of this scourge, hasn't you?"

"Although this sea contains many dark and filthy things that are unbearable to look at, there are also people who do what they believe is right, which truly makes me feel gratified..."

"You overestimate me. I don't have any sense of justice; I just want to do what I want to do."

Lox disliked being flattered: "I just wanted to clean up the dark forces on this island, and it's their fault for not saying I'm a righteous person."

He smiled and said, "Since I did it, it was a righteous act, and it has nothing to do with what I thought in my heart."
