Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Yi Xiao then revealed what she knew.

Finally, he let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I had not left that island at the time, and I happened to learn of this news."

"We followed the clues to find them, and you know what happened next..."

"so it is."

Rocks nodded.

Yi Xiao is indeed the kind of person who would do such a thing; he is a chivalrous person with a strong sense of justice.

That's truly admirable!

Lockes thought for a moment and said, "The doctor said that Little Yi's body needs rest. Since I'm involved in this matter, I might as well go all the way."

"Mr. Yixiao probably doesn't have his own boat, right? If that's the case, I can take Xiaoyi back to her hometown, and Mr. Yixiao can accompany her."

Rocks said directly, "I happen to have some questions about Haki that I'd like to ask Mr. Yixiao. What do you think, Mr. Yixiao?"

He encountered such a powerful figure, and Rocks admired him greatly.

Making contact with the other party is not a bad thing.

His mastery of domineering aura is definitely far superior to his current level; he could learn a thing or two from him.

Hmm, it would be even better if we could get them to join us...

"Your personality is quite to my liking; you don't hide anything."

Upon hearing Locke's words, he smiled and said, "In that case, I agree."

He didn't have his own boat; he flew over from another island.

Xiao Yi's body needs rest to recover; it can't withstand this kind of torment.

The other party's suggestion was indeed good; it helped him solve a problem.

"However, although I possess some skill, I have never had the experience of guiding others, so I may not be able to be of any help to you. Please forgive me then..."

"Don't be so modest, Mr. Yixiao. The question I want to ask you is probably a trivial matter for you. Please don't hesitate to teach me in the future."

"I will do my best."

"To be honest, this is the first time we've had guests on our ship, so it would be a shame not to treat you properly."

"How could I possibly accept this..."

"No need to be so polite, Mr. Yixiao, why don't you go check on Xiao Yi's condition first? Xiao Yi will need food to replenish her strength later. She needs to rest and it's best not to move around too much..."

"Well... alright then, thank you for your trouble, Your Excellency."

At Rocks's enthusiastic invitation, and considering Yi's physical condition, Yi decided to stay on the Black Demon.

Yi Xiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly: the other person was truly hospitable, making him feel a little embarrassed...

"The 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks? A criminal with a kind heart is quite rare..."

Shaking his head, he smiled and shook off the thoughts in his mind, then went to the bedroom to check on Xiao Yi's condition.

Now that he has decided to take action, he will handle the matter properly.

He only wanted to practice his own ideals; this was the justice in his heart...

……

"Uncle Yixiao, Brother Lox, I...I don't want to go back, I want to stay with you...is that okay?"

During dinner, after waking up, Xiao Yi heard that Lox wanted to send her back to her hometown, and she pursed her lips and said these words...

Lox looked at Little Yi: "Follow us? Why would you think that?"

Little Yi looked at Lox: "I...I don't want to go back. The village...the people in the village are all bad people."

“After my parents passed away, they wanted to give me away. They sold me to other people…”

"Such a thing is true?"

Lockes frowned immediately.

Were they not kidnapped by traffickers, but sold?

Nami, standing nearby, exclaimed indignantly, "How could anyone do such a thing? Little Yi is so cute, and someone actually wants to sell her! It's outrageous!"

Yi Xiao asked, "Xiao Yi, are the people in your hometown treating you badly?"

Xiao Yi still pursed her lips: "They think I'm just wasting food, they don't want to be with me, I don't want to go back, they'll send me away again..."

She became an orphan after her parents died of illness.

The villagers didn't like her; an orphan had no farming skills and would only waste food.

Then she was sold...

For her, her hometown was no different from her previous prison in Guangdong.

Even if she went back, she would be sold again.

Because to them, she was just a burden...

“I want to follow you. I’m willing to work any job I can find.”

Xiao Yi's voice was very soft, and her expression was timid: "I can also heal you. My dad said I'm a Devil Fruit user and can heal other people's injuries!"

Don't worry.

Lox ruffled Little Eyjafjalla's malnourished and somewhat yellow hair: "Since you don't want to go back, then we won't send you back."

"If you want to join us... well, it's not impossible."

"Really?"

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up: "Can I really do it?"

"Of course it's true."

Lockes smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm a big shot, I wouldn't lie to anyone."

Although Xiao Yi's idea was somewhat unexpected, upon closer examination, it might not be a bad thing.

It is known that Xiao Yi is a healing-type ability user, and the Black Demon ship happens to lack a ship's doctor.

Rocks is immune to illness due to his special constitution, but this is not the case for others.

Having someone with healing abilities is a good precaution.

In addition, there's the relationship between Xiao Yi and Yi Xiao.

Given Yixiao's personality, she would never give up halfway through something and would take full responsibility for Xiaoyi's matter.

Perhaps we could get Yixiao to join them through Xiaoyi?

"Thank you... thank you, big brother!"

Xiao Yi's eyes were red, but she held back her tears and said firmly, "I will work hard and won't be a burden!"

"But the work on our ship is quite difficult, you know, little Yi," Locke joked.

Realizing that Rocks was joking, Little Yi still firmly said, "No matter how difficult the task is, I will do my best to complete it!"

"Hehe, Little Yi wants to join our Blackwing Demon Adventure Group? That's great! I won't be the youngest anymore!"

Nami was very happy.

Although it wasn't a big deal, she didn't want to be the youngest one.

If we disregard the troublesome Lox, Kuina and Robin would more or less treat her like a child.

They took better care of her.

She felt that she was already an adult and didn't need to be "treated differently".

If Xiao Yi joins them, she won't be the youngest.

Wouldn't that reduce the "discriminatory treatment" a bit?

It's a strange thought, but that's exactly what Nami thinks!

"It seems we should welcome a new member to the team."

"Welcome to the team, Xiao Yi."

Robin and Guina had no objection to Lox's actions.

Kuina unconditionally chose to trust Lox and leave everything to Lox's decisions.

Robin, however, vaguely sensed something; Lox's actions... probably had other deeper meanings...

certainly.

She could also tell that Rocks genuinely wanted Little Eyjafjalla to join them...

To be honest.

Healers are extremely rare on the high seas.

Although Xiao Yi is still young, she can indeed be a great help to the adventure team.

At least it helps them.

No one can guarantee that they won't get sick or injured in the future.

There's a doctor... well, he has a healing ability, just in case.

This sea is dangerous, afflicted with all sorts of strange and unusual ailments...

"Ah...I...I will work hard!"

Hearing that the other three had no objections to her joining and instead warmly welcomed her, Xiao Yi was deeply moved.

Tears are sliding down my cheeks; they are tears of joy.

Someone was willing to take her in, something she had never imagined before.

Besides her parents, are there other people willing to accept her as a burden...?

“Well… since Xiao Yi has this wish, and Your Excellency is willing to accept her, then I am relieved…”

Yi Xiao couldn't help but scratch her head.

How could such a thing happen?

However, entrusting little I to Rocks seems like a good option as well?

Although the contact time was short, he could tell that the people on the ship were not the most vicious and wicked.

They possess their own sense of benevolence and righteousness.

When Xiao Yi said she didn't want to go back to her hometown, he was actually a little worried.

He was a loner and didn't know how to take care of children.

They also had no fixed abode and could not provide Xiao Yi with a stable place to live.

"..."

But halfway through her sentence, Yixiao suddenly considered something else...

Would letting Little Yi join Rocks really put his mind at ease?

Not a single drop can be put in!

It wasn't that Rocks and his crew would abuse or oppress Little Ee; he believed the people on the ship wouldn't do such a thing.

On the contrary, they will care about and take good care of Xiao Yi.

There is just one issue that needs serious consideration.

This is the ship where "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks is!

The newspapers have clearly stated what a significant thing the other party did.

Without a doubt, the other party is considered a thorn in the side by the World Government and the Navy...

Even former Navy Admiral "Black Arm" Zephyr couldn't defeat Rocks, so what will happen if the Navy takes action next time...?

Wouldn't that require the deployment of the current top generals?

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but gasp!
