Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Chapter 13 Who told me I'm a good person? Hehehe...

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, Bucky couldn't help but gasp.

That's a really wicked idea.

He felt his future would be bleak if his identity as a former member of Roger's Shopping Club were exposed.

The Navy will absolutely not stand idly by and do nothing about him, a former member of Roger's Pirates.

He's not Shanks; he doesn't have the strength to contend with the Navy.

If the Navy targets me, I'm finished!

The thought of the consequences made Bucky tremble uncontrollably, his voice shaking: "M-Sir, what do you want me to do? I, Bucky the Clown, will do everything in my power to serve you!!"

Rocks swirled his wine glass and said calmly, "You'll find out then. I hope you'll be on the right track, or you know the consequences..."

"I...I understand!"

Bucky had no choice but to accept his fate.

They couldn't win a fight.

There's also the fact that the other party has leverage over you.

He felt his life was over...

"So best."

Lox nodded in satisfaction, then flicked his finger to break the ropes binding the other person.

As if he were the captain of Bucky's Pirate Ship, Rocks ordered Bucky, "Wake up your men and get them to cook. I'm a little hungry."

"Yes, my lord!"

Bucky responded with a tearful face.

Despite the pain in his chest and shoulders, he slapped his subordinates, who had been knocked unconscious by Conqueror's Haki, to wake them up.

Command them to take action.

Although the members of Bucky Cruise F were confused about the situation, they saw the damage on their own ship and Rocks sitting in the center seat with a boss-like demeanor.

They understood.

Clearly, their captain had been thoroughly taught a lesson and dared not disobey this man's orders...

What else can they do?

Even the captain surrendered, so they dared not resist.

They don't even know how they just fainted...

Kuina approached Lox, frowned, and whispered, "You're going to recruit them?"

"Of course not, but they still have some use."

Rocks waved his hand and said softly, "I don't want to deal with the Navy right now. I need a cover or a scapegoat, and the Bucky Barnes is perfect for that."

Looking to recruit Pakistani merchants?

Of course, Lockes didn't have that idea.

However, Pakistani goods still have some uses.

Right now, Rocks doesn't want to deal with the Navy.

The evil dragon pirate F is notorious in the East China Sea, and even has colluded with the naval branch.

Its annihilation would certainly attract the attention of the navy.

So Rocks planned to have Bucky the Pirate F act as a cover and take the blame!

Kuina was somewhat puzzled: "Don't want to deal with the Navy? Why? We're not the Navy..."

"Because of my name."

Speaking of Rocks, he said with a sigh, "You may not have heard of the name Rocks, but it is a name that makes some people wary and fearful."

"Especially the Navy and the World Government, if they hear this name, they will definitely investigate it thoroughly, which is a very troublesome matter."

Is there anything special about the name "Lox"?

Guina remained puzzled.

She genuinely didn't know anything special about the name Lox.

"You should know Heather Jack, right?"

Rocks cracked his knuckles as he said, “You can associate the name Rocks with Roger. The Navy and the World Government will investigate anything related to Roger thoroughly.”

"The name 'Lox' is the same; it just means trouble!"

The name "Lox" was a source of great distress for Lox.

However, Rocks will not change his name.

The name was given to him by his adoptive father, Old Duke, and Rocks was very concerned about Old Duke's feelings.

It's impossible for Rocks to change his name after all these things.

What's the point of changing it?

Was he scared?

Rocks was not afraid to bear the name and had long been mentally prepared.

However, our strength is not yet sufficient, and we are not keen on dealing with the navy.

Rocks, the time traveler, was well aware of the Navy's true nature.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

Moreover, Rocks's case wasn't a case of wrongful killing; his adoptive father, Old Duke, was indeed a former member of Rocks's gambling syndicate, albeit just a floor cleaner...

"Is the name 'Lox' really that dangerous?"

Hearing Lox's explanation, Guina understood somewhat, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Then I've been seduced by a bastard?"

Rocks Suzukazu said, "That makes sense. Anyway, once the name Rocks is known throughout the seas again, the Navy and the World Government will definitely investigate."

"You've slept with me, so there's still a chance to back out."

"No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will forge ahead!"

Kuina tightened her grip on the Wado Ichimonji clasped at her waist, her tone calm yet resolute: "No matter who the enemy is, just cleave them in two with your sword!"

"Besides, didn't you say you would protect me?"

"You actually believe that I lied to Koushirou-sensei so that I could kidnap you?"

Lox couldn't help but chuckle: "You haven't grown up yet, Kuina!"

Kuina: "..."

Can't this person say something nice?

"I'm a year older than you!"

"This shows that you're a year older than me for nothing. You don't even understand this kind of principle. You're still too naive. You still have a lot to learn."

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to practice swordsmanship."

Kuina rolled her eyes at Lox.

Too lazy to waste words with him, I turned and left.

"Ah……"

Watching Kuina leave, Lox simply smiled.

Kuina, like Zoro, is a training fanatic. She trains whenever she has free time and is very hardworking and serious.

Only with this kind of perseverance and determination can she go further on the path of swordsmanship!

"It's best not to make too much noise in the East China Sea, otherwise it might involve other people."

"The Navy's intelligence capabilities are not weak; making Pakistani pirates take the blame is the best course of action..."

Rocks counted on his fingers, thinking about these things.

The Navy's intelligence capabilities need no further explanation.

If they leave even the slightest clue, the Navy might be able to trace Rocks' origins.

Although the possibility is actually not high, it is still a potential concern.

Rocks didn't want anyone else to be implicated because of him or his name.

Even if there's only a slight chance.

Therefore, it's correct to keep a low profile, find someone to cover for you, and take the blame.

Bucky isn't a good person anyway; he'll make the other person take the blame and cause them a lot of trouble, so Rocks won't feel any psychological burden.

Even more extreme would be...

We can reveal Bucky's hidden identity to draw the Navy's attention to him and draw their fire.

Just consider it as recycling waste.

It can also contribute to the stability of the people of Donghai.

Lox thought he was great.

Since it's somewhat useful, let's make good use of it; killing it for the bounty isn't as worthwhile.

However, a mere ten million Berries is not even as much as the gold and silver treasures looted from the Buckingham Sea...

"Okay, it's decided then."

Thinking about all this, Rocks' lips curled into a smile: "I'll make you, Bucky the Clown, famous overnight, but no need to thank me. What can I do? I'm a good guy, aren't I? Hehehe..."

Chapter 14: Attack of Buggy the Great!

A few days later.

Pakistani cargo ships have arrived near the Konomiya Islands.

"Sir, this is the island where Cocoa Village is located in the Konomiya Islands..."

Bucky rubbed his hands together obsequiously, behaving very respectfully towards Rocks, and cautiously asked, "So... um, what should we do next?"

After a few days of rest.

Bucky's injuries have almost fully healed.

Unless the injury is fundamental, people in this world recover from injuries extremely quickly...

"Charge! You can deal with the evil dragon Haiji."

Rocks sat in the main seat, legs crossed, his expression nonchalant: "You should be able to do it, right?"

"Of course! We, the Pakistani merchants, will do everything in our power to fight the evil dragon merchants to the death!"

Bucky felt bitter inside, but he didn't say anything.

He simply thumped his chest loudly: "It is an honor for those fish-men to be the prey of the adults!"

Bucky then turned to look at the line of text: "[A line of text appears to be a series of unrelated characters and symbols, possibly a corrupted or incomplete sentence. A direct translation isn't meaningful without further context.]"

"Have!"

The members of the Pakistani mercenary group looked at each other, filled with panic and helplessness.

But no one dared to disagree at this time...

They all put on an act of being ready to die!

"Your only target is the evil dragon, Sea of ​​Fortune. Do not harm the residents of Cocoyasi Village. If I discover any other actions you take..."

Lox, now the one giving orders, swept his gaze over everyone and gave a cold laugh: "This is how it ends!"
