Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

"At least in my eyes, your actions at this moment are just!"

"Are you saying that actions speak louder than words? That makes some sense."

Rocks counted on his fingers, a playful look on his face: "But if a vicious criminal like me, with a bounty of hundreds of millions of Berries, can be called righteous, then the Navy would probably be furious to death..."

A smile: "..."

A bounty of hundreds of millions has been placed on the heads of heinous criminals.

The other person's identity was somewhat unexpected...

"Judging by actions, not intentions, Your Excellency's summary is excellent."

"Your Excellency may be a wanted man, but you also possess your own sense of righteousness. Although I am blind, I can see much more."

With a smile, he continued, "Given your character, you are by no means a vicious and wicked person. You are powerful yet adhere to your principles, which is truly commendable."

To do justice while being a criminal...

Why does that sound so catchy?

He felt that the heroes in the shadows were far more righteous than the outwardly righteous.

Because those who can still yearn for the light even when they are in darkness possess a quality worthy of admiration!

"I'll only do this once as a show of kindness. Next time I encounter someone like that... unless they provoke me, I might not choose to take action."

Lox picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip: "In this deformed world, one person's kindness alone cannot make much of a difference."

"As long as the source is not eliminated, the chaos and darkness in this world will never stop."

"The source? It has stood for hundreds of years, how could it be so easily eradicated?"

Yi Xiao knew what Lockes was referring to, and he sighed: "So I was just doing my bit, doing what I could to help when I encountered this situation."

"Haha, you're a really good person, while I'm a Schrödinger good person."

Locke smiled and said, "Since we've run into each other, I'll accompany you in doing what's right today. I'll be a good guy to the end."

Schrödinger?

Yixiao didn't understand, but she didn't care.

He said, “Then I will be your companion for a day. Is this your third stop? There are three other strongholds of criminal gangs here.”

It was because he had become aware of what was happening on the island that he told Rocks to "eliminate the scourge for the people".

He knew what Lockes had done!

Rocks raised an eyebrow: "Your Observation Haki is stronger than mine; you knew what I did, while I didn't detect your spying..."

Even domineering aura has different levels.

Clearly, Issho's Observation Haki was superior to his.

He hadn't noticed anyone spying on him, nor had he sensed the presence of the powerful Yi Xiao.

It's possible now, but since the other party is right in front of me, it's not very clear how I can perceive them. They should have the ability to shield their aura.

Is this also a form of Observation Haki?

With a smile, he humbly replied, "It's nothing. I merely used my ability, and you didn't perceive it in detail. It's not that my Observation Haki is superior to yours."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Lox didn't want to dwell on it.

Although his Observation Haki was innately awakened, he hadn't trained it to a high level.

It's perfectly normal for someone to be inferior to a top-tier expert at their peak.

He's not even an adult yet!

……

In the basement of the casino.

By this time, many corpses had already fallen to the ground.

They were all killed by Rocks...

"A healing-type ability user? This world is indeed full of darkness."

Rocks looked at the lone prisoner in front of him and sighed, "Sometimes, ability users are also treated as a resource..."

The girl, who looked to be only about ten years old, had her limbs chained together.

The little girl is in a coma.

Her body was covered in wounds, the countless needle marks on her arms were shocking, and blood was still seeping out; she looked extremely thin, her hair was dry and yellow, and her face was as pale as paper...

You can also see syringes and blood bags nearby.

The blood in the blood pack was drawn from the little girl.

This is also why Lox frowned after sensing the situation here from above...

Anyone with a modicum of conscience would be outraged to do such a thing to a little girl who looks only about ten years old.

So... everyone here is dead!

The little girl is likely a person with a healing ability; her blood is a healing substance, so she is used as a "human medicine bag" by the people here.

This inevitably reminded Rocks of Karin and her mother from Naruto...

"I'm sorry I'm late, and that you've suffered so much..."

He smiles without looking at anything, but his Observation Haki is very strong.

He could sense the frailty of the little girl who had once offered him a helping hand as a "homeless man".

I sighed deeply inside...

Previously, Yixiao had met a little girl on another island. The little girl, who thought he was a "homeless man," gave him a bread.

That's how the two became acquainted.

The little girl is a Devil Fruit user.

Therefore, he was targeted by some criminals and subsequently kidnapped by traffickers.

Knowing the situation, Yixiao, driven by his chivalrous spirit, followed the clues and arrived at Zitan Island...

The little girl, who was in a coma, was naturally unable to respond.

Even while unconscious, her brows remained furrowed, as if she were enduring physical pain and inner fear...

With a smile, he picked up the little girl and looked at Lockes with his eyes, which only showed the whites of his eyes: "Your Excellency, do you have a ship's doctor?"

"No, there are only four people on my boat right now."

Rocks shook his head.

She continued, "However, there is a knowledgeable person who may know some medicine. If all else fails, we can go to town to find a doctor."

He had carefully sensed the little girl's condition using his Observation Haki.

He didn't understand medicine, but he could still make simple judgments.

The injuries were only superficial, and he was otherwise unharmed; he had fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss and weakness.

It's not a difficult injury or illness to treat.

Yi Xiao bowed slightly to Locke: "Could I trouble Your Excellency to do me this favor? I am blind and unable to find a doctor for her as soon as possible..."

Observation Haki is not a panacea.

He's truly blind; he can't see, which makes finding people or things quite difficult for him...

"it is good."

Lockes nodded.

She took the little girl from Yixiao and picked her up in a princess carry: "I'll take her away from here first."

"Thank you for your help."

Yixiao was reassured by Lox: "I will come to see you later, but right now, I have some matters to attend to..."

……

"Big brother, who are you?"

Perhaps because of the bumpy ride, the little girl woke up with a whimper.

Her face was very pale, but her big eyes looked curiously at Lox, who was holding her.

His face showed fear and tension: "Are you here to rescue Xiao Yi?"

She clearly also realized that she was no longer in that terrifying prison.

That's why this hopeful question arises...

"Is your name Xiao Yi?"

Rocks slowed his pace and smiled at the little girl: "I'm here to save you, and there's someone else with you, a blind old man."

"A blind man?"

The girl named Xiao Yi tilted her head.

As if remembering something, she asked curiously, "Is it that blind uncle?"

"Well, it's him."

Lox thought Little I meant a smile.

He smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, you're safe now. I'll take you to see a doctor right away."

Little Yi's hands tightened involuntarily, her heart pounding with anxiety. She said cautiously, "But Little Yi doesn't have any Bailey..."

Lox said softly, “That blind man paid for you, so don’t worry. You helped him before, so he’s helping you back.”

"I just gave him a loaf of bread, which isn't worth much money."

The tension on Xiao Yi's face did not subside; instead, it intensified.

Her voice was even softer: "I used to hear my parents say... that seeing a doctor is very expensive..."

'What a good child...'

Lockes thought to himself, then said to Little Yi, "Not everything can be measured by value. For Yixiao, the bread you gave him is priceless, understand?"

Xiao Yi blinked: "Hmm, I don't really understand..."

You'll understand when you grow up.

"So don't worry now," Locke said. "Taking good care of yourself is the biggest help you can give Yixiao."

"Then why did the older brother save Xiao Yi?"

"Just think of me as a good person today. Good people don't need a reason to do good deeds."

"Okay..."

Perhaps it was because she realized she was not in danger, or perhaps it was because she inexplicably trusted Rocks, or more likely it was because she was too weak.

So little I fell into a deep sleep in Lox's arms...

……

Although they slowed their pace.

However, Rocks was still extremely fast and quickly found the three women by following Robin's scent.

I briefly explained the situation to the three of them.

After hearing this, Robin said, "I know some basic medical skills, but I can only use them in emergencies. It would be best to take her to see a doctor now."

"I saw a shopping mall while I was shopping just now, and I saw a shopping mall."

"Let's go take a look first."

Rocks was also a decisive and efficient person.

Carrying little Yi, they arrived at the transportation hub Robin had indicated.

The doctor examined Little Yi's condition and, recognizing Lockes, said tremblingly, "Sir, the patient has only suffered some superficial injuries, and is weak due to malnutrition and excessive blood loss. There is nothing else seriously wrong."
