Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

With another 'boom,' the sea was swallowed by the bright emerald green light.

It eventually sank to the bottom of the sea in the explosion.

This unknown overseas merchant simply vanished silently into the vast ocean...

Hai Jiuxing Xie Meng said that he was plotting against the emperor, but this Hai Jiuxing was not a good person.

The menacing, bloody aura already indicated that the other party was no good.

They must have committed countless acts of murder, arson, looting, and plunder, so Rocks took the opportunity to act as a righteous exemplifier.

Locus, of course, readily accepted the gold and silver treasures on the ship. What a kind soul! He's adding merit to his life and even giving him money...

……

Holding a large box in his hand, Rocks landed on the deck of the Black Demon.

"Wow, another find! Let me see how many Berries it's worth!"

Nami dashed over, her eyes gleaming with Belial's light.

She excitedly began to count her spoils, acting like a little money-grubber: "Wow, so many gems, so much gold, I'm rich!"

Are there any islands nearby?

Yixiao didn't say anything about the destruction of the Seagod F by Rocks.

He could also sense that the group of Hai Yanhuang were stern and impatient.

He would easily eliminate it if he encountered it.

His sense of justice only applies to ordinary people; it doesn't extend to the wicked and ruthless Hai Shucha.

Lockes nodded: "Yes, eight o'clock, two-hour flight."

"We'll do the counting later. Now it's your turn to work, navigator."

Rocks tapped Nami's head lightly: "There's an island two hours' flight away at eight o'clock. We're going to that island."

Nami clutched her head and glared at Rocks: "You bastard, stop hitting my head!"

"You can't get out of your money-obsessed state without doing this."

"Humph!"

Nami snorted, too lazy to argue with that jerk.

They began to determine the location and direct the Black Demon's actions.

In her professional field, she is absolutely unambiguous.

She was the only one on the ship with the ability to keep the course of the voyage from deviating, and judging direction is an essential skill for a navigator.

In this respect, Nami has a natural keen insight...

……

At the same time.

Somewhere in this sea area.

A small boat resembling a coffin was moored next to a large ship...

on the deck.

A large number of people lay on the ground, groaning in pain. Some were missing limbs, their blood staining the deck.

Many of those wailing were thinking to themselves – how could their luck be so bad?

Just wanting to have some fun, he fired at a small boat.

It turns out the ship's owner was... one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the world's greatest swordsman, "Hawkeye" Dracule Mihawk...

This illness is a serious problem...

The vast ocean is so expansive, and not only have I encountered such an important figure, but I've also recklessly opened fire on him...

I regret it!

But it's too late for regrets, they're finished...

Wearing a black trench coat and carrying a black cross-shaped dagger, Hawkeye sat in a seat, leisurely wiping a small knife, barely larger than a dagger, with a tissue...

"A demonic sword that can steal a person's mind? That's interesting. It seems to be a pretty good demonic sword."

Hawkeye hung the cross-shaped knife around his neck, ignoring the wailing of the sea monsters.

His gaze drifted in one direction, and he muttered to himself, "If anyone can subdue him, they must be a master swordsman..."

"Interesting, let's go take a look."

He learned something interesting from these fearless guys.

On one of the islands in this sea, a demonic sword was born.

As a swordsman, even though Hawkeye already possesses one of the Supreme Grade Swords, the black sword Yoru, he is still very interested in other famous swords.

Especially the Demon Blade.

Swordsmen would certainly know about the Demon Blade.

Swords possess spirit and individuality; those that cannot be wielded by ordinary people are called demon swords.

The demon sword will backfire on the user; only swordsmen with sufficient strength can wield it.

A demonic sword capable of seizing the minds of others is clearly no ordinary item.

It belongs to the category of vicious demon swords.

A demon sword of this caliber is worth seeing for the world's greatest swordsman.

If someone were to appear who could subdue such a demonic sword, they would undoubtedly be a master swordsman.

These two points alone are enough to pique his interest.

Since I have nothing better to do anyway, I might as well go and take a look...

……

On the other side.

On a warship.

"Admiral Aokiji, a message has arrived from the G-9 branch base stationed on Asuka Island!"

"Because of the emergence of a demonic sword called the 'Seven Star Sword,' chaos has broken out on Aska Island, with many sea creatures fleeing..."

A navy officer jogged up to a man lounging on a deckchair, wearing an eye patch.

He reported very quickly: "The G-9 branch base has requested support from branch bases on nearby islands."

"Since this is a message received by a radio bug from a specific frequency band, we need to consult with Admiral Aokiji for your decision!"

Naval telephones have their own special frequency bands, and warships are generally equipped with telephones that can receive these frequency bands.

This was set up so that warships patrolling at sea could receive "broadcasts" from specific sea areas.

In order to deal with emergencies such as distress messages and requests for assistance.

Just then, their warship received a "request for support" message from the G-9 branch base stationed on Asca Island.

In this situation, the decision needs to be made by the highest-ranking officer of the warship.

And Aokiji was the supreme commander on this warship...

"Oh dear, a demon sword has been born? It seems like this is going to be troublesome. As a general, I can't pretend I don't know..."

Reclining on a deckchair, Navy Admiral "Aokiji" Kuzan removed his blindfold.

He yawned lazily and said with a hint of helplessness, "This is so troublesome..."

Aokiji was on this warship because he received orders from Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

Search for the whereabouts of "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks and send him an invitation to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

According to a report from the naval branch base on Zitan Island, "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks had just departed from Zitan Island a few days ago.

If "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks followed the pointer of the record, then his whereabouts would be traceable.

There is a certain possibility of finding the whereabouts of the "Black-Haired Swordsman".

So, under Sengoku's orders, the great general Aokiji set off...

There are reasons why a general was chosen to take action.

First, it explains the importance that the World Government and Navy attach to Rocks, the "Black-haired Swordsman," joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Secondly, if "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks refuses to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, then only one of the Admirals would have the power to capture him directly.

So Aokiji took action...

……

More than an hour later.

The Black Demon successfully arrived at the waters near Asca Island.

"Heh heh, it seems quite a few people have their eyes on that demonic sword..."

As they approached, Lockes saw a considerable number of sea creatures and proceeded in that direction.

Clearly, their goals are the same... for the Seven Star Demon Sword.

Come to think of it, famous swords are quite valuable on the high seas, and some demon swords can even fetch high prices at auction.

Except for a few sea monsters, most sea monsters are actually ghosts.

With its exciting spectacle, it naturally attracts a lot of attention.

It's normal for there to be a lot of people.

"It seems that it won't be easy to successfully seize that Seven Star Sword."

Kuina is also interested in the demon sword.

It wasn't that she wanted to use the demon sword; she had Wado Ichimonji, which was enough for her.

However, as a swordswoman, she was quite interested in famous swords, and she had never seen what a demon sword was.

What makes the Demon Blade different from ordinary swords?

Rocks unleashed his Observation Haki, sensing the sea, but found no one too powerful: "I haven't sensed anyone worth paying attention to yet. Let's wait until we get to the island and take a look."

Even he was drawn here, and it's estimated that some powerful swordsmen who received the news will also come to take a look.

Devil Fruits, famous swords, treasures, and other valuable items are quite attractive to many people.

This ocean is so vast, no one knows how many powerful beings it harbors.

Take the original work as an example.

Two years ago, there wasn't a single piece of information about these two powerful figures, "Fujitora" Issho and "Green Bull" Aramaki.

It's also possible that some powerful figures who didn't appear in the original work will emerge.

With a light smile, he said, "If you need any help, I wouldn't mind doing my bit."

"Since it's a contest for the demon sword, then I naturally have to take action myself."

Lockes counted on his fingers and chuckled, "However, if any troublesome people set their sights on me, I'll need your help, Xiao."

The matter of the Seven Star Demon Sword has been brewing for two days, attracting a lot of attention.

The Navy may well be aware of this, and might even take some action.

Under the general's command, Rocks didn't care.

However, even with a combat power at the Admiral level, Rocks still needs to be careful.

He smiled and said, "Haha, of course, I am also a member of the Blackwing Demon Adventure Team..."

……

soon.

The Black Demon approached the shore.

We found a relatively secluded spot to park.
