Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

They absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!

……

At the same time.

On the sea not far from Asca Island.

A warship sailed towards Asca Island...

"Did the black-haired swordsman steal that demon sword? As expected of a monster capable of fighting against Master Zephyr, he's truly extraordinary..."

Admiral Aokiji was listening to a report from the Navy on the other end of the telephone about what was happening on Asuka Island.

I couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"But I never expected to run into him here..."

Aokiji exhaled a cold breath, but his eyes gleamed with a sharp light: "Then I'll have to go and have a good talk with him..."

His mission this time was to contact "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks and invite him to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Unexpectedly, because of the demon sword incident, he changed his course, and as a result, they coincidentally met here...

Is this the will of Heaven?

"Admiral Aokiji... there's more news!"

Just as Aokiji was making plans, the other end of the phone seemed to receive another message.

The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with shock and astonishment: "The world's greatest swordsman, 'Hawkeye' Jorge Mihawk, has also landed on Aska Island!"

"Judging from the direction he's heading, he's probably going for the Seven Star Sword... no, he's probably going for the black-haired swordsman!"

"Huh? Hawkeye? What's that dangerous guy doing here?"

Even a strong warrior like Aokiji was greatly surprised upon hearing the report.

His expression wasn't as relaxed as before: "This is a bit troublesome..."

The world's greatest swordsman, "Hawkeye" Jorge Mihawk.

Even as a general, he wouldn't dare say he could defeat someone of this caliber...

The appearance of such a powerful figure here is something that attracts a lot of attention.

Not to mention that the other party might also be targeting his real-life counterpart, "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks...

"Please continue to monitor the situation on the island and inform me immediately of any news."

After giving orders to the navy on Aska Island, Aokiji hung up the phone.

He looked out at the sea, lost in thought: "If these two really start fighting, it wouldn't be a bad thing for me..."

"The mission is to invite them to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, huh? They really don't consider our Navy's feelings at all..."

Regarding the invitation to "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

There are actually some dissenting opinions within the Navy.

After all, the black-haired swordsman rose to fame by stepping on the Navy.

Inviting the other party to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea clearly shows a lack of consideration for the Navy's interests.

However, the Navy dared not disobey orders from the World Government, even if they had objections...

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it so much, let's go take a look..."

Aokiji was too lazy to think about it.

The black-haired swordsman is someone I need to meet, regardless of the outcome...

"But these sea geese are really arrogant. They didn't even react when the warships approached? It's really... making me a little annoyed..."

Aokiji's gaze swept across the sea, where many sea creatures...

Perhaps because there was only one warship, and the other side felt that having more people made them more powerful, some of the sailors turned and left the moment they saw the warship...

There was even a strong urge to try it out...

This made Aokiji's eyes turn cold.

These sea monsters, though seemingly fearless, showed no apprehension whatsoever...

"Then let's clean it up while we're at it..."

Aokiji exhaled a breath of cold white mist.

He unleashed his Observation Haki to determine the total number of sea monsters present.

Just as he was about to freeze it, Aokiji's gaze suddenly sharpened: "Hmm?"

His gaze drifted towards the coastline, his brow furrowing slightly: "What is she doing here?"

……

In a small village on the island of Asca.

Rocks met some of the people who appeared in the movie, the priestess Maya and her grandmother Elainesa...

The Seven Star Sword was created because of a certain group of sea monsters, which indirectly led to the chaos on Aska Island. Therefore, the people of this small village deeply hate the sea monsters...

When the villagers saw Rocks and his men arrive, and Rocks was holding the Seven Star Sword, they all looked tense and fearful.

They were afraid that Rocks, who was controlled by the Seven Star Sword, would kill people at the slightest provocation.

After all, they had witnessed Rocks killing people and believed that Rocks was now controlled by the Seven Star Sword...

Well, actually, it was just that Rocks killed some fools who tried to steal his Seven Star Sword...

"Don't be nervous, we don't have any ill intentions. We're just here to ask some questions."

Seeing the villagers looking at them warily, Lockes explained in a calm tone.

Then, looking at the hunched old woman, Eliza, he raised the Seven Star Sword in his hand: "Does this Seven Star Sword have a scabbard?"

"Are you... alright?"

Lox's behavior didn't seem to be controlled by the Seven Star Sword, which surprised Elainesa.

Leaning on her cane, she asked cautiously, "Has your mind been controlled by the 'demonic power' of the Seven Star Sword?"

She hadn't witnessed the Seven Star Sword's terrifying power firsthand, but as the Grand Elder, she couldn't possibly be unaware of the island's "legends."

That is an evil demon sword that can control the earth and the sea!

Only the legendary precious jade can seal and control the Seven Star Sword.

What's going on now...?

"It's just a weapon, how could it possibly affect my mind?"

Rocks glanced at the Seven Star Sword.

The Seven Star Sword trembled slightly, revealing its honesty and obedience...

"So, ma'am, does this Seven Star Sword come with a matching scabbard?"

Rocks wasn't here to exchange pleasantries with these people; he was only here to find the scabbard and didn't want to waste time: "If you have it, where is it?"

"Hiss, you really weren't affected by the Seven Star Sword!?"

Elainesa was surprised to find that Rocks was not under the control of the Seven Star Sword.

It's utterly unbelievable...

"He sealed the Seven Star Sword with his own body without Baoyu's help? No... he subdued the Seven Star Sword? How is that possible? Isn't the Seven Star Sword an evil demonic blade that can control the earth and the sea?"

"Dominate the land and sea? Do you think a demon sword can do that? If it can, then there are more than just three types of ancient weapons..."

Rocks shook his head.

I don't know who first passed down the legend of the Seven Star Sword.

The demon sword is described as being more terrifying than ancient weapons.

If such power truly existed, then the Seven Star Sword Master would rule the world.

World governments have to step aside!

Elaine remained silent: "..."

Although she didn't know what ancient weapons were, she could tell from Rocks's words that he didn't care much about the Seven Star Sword...

"I'm sorry, as far as I know, the Seven Star Sword does not have a scabbard."

Faced with someone who could "seal" the evil power of the Seven Star Sword with her own strength, Elaine dared not conceal anything:

"Besides the precious jade given to me by the Seven Star Ape of Aska Island, there is nothing that can seal the Seven Star Sword, and naturally there is no scabbard..."

"no?"

Lox thought for a moment, then said to Elainesa, "May I see that precious jewel you mentioned?"

In the theatrical version, the three gems have the ability to seal the Seven Star Sword, demonstrating their extraordinary nature.

Lox became a little curious...

Chapter 120 It really is Bucky the Clown! Hawkeye: Would you be interested in sparring with me?

"Of course, please wait a moment, sir..."

Eliza dared not refuse Lox's request, and said to her granddaughter beside her, "Maya, go and give the three jewels to this gentleman..."

“I understand, Grandmother…”

Seeing her grandmother's expression, the young girl Maya knew that these people were not people they could afford to offend.

He got up and left.

A moment later she returned carrying three pink jade stones that shone with a bright light.

Elainesa took the three precious gems handed to her by her granddaughter and presented them to Rocks: "My lord, these are the precious gems that our village has guarded for generations, used to seal the Seven Star Sword..."

Thank you.

Lox picked up a gem and examined it himself.

Using his Observation Haki to examine it carefully, he discovered that the jewel did indeed contain a certain "power".

It can counter the "power" of the Seven Star Sword.

This was evident from the moment Rocks came into contact with the precious jade; the aura of the Seven Star Sword noticeably diminished...

'A product created from some kind of Devil Fruit?'

Lockes pondered to himself.

Devil Fruits are magical things; some of their abilities don't disappear even after the Devil Fruit user dies.

It will exist as long as it is not destroyed.

Rocks suspected that the Seven Star Sword and the three jewels were likely created by a user of some kind of Devil Fruit power...

For example, those with abilities like the Forging Fruit or the Crafting Fruit, forged using their abilities?

Whatever wonders this world may hold, they can all be explained by the power of Devil Fruits…

"call……"

Eliza saw Lockes take the jade and breathed a sigh of relief.

This person was indeed not controlled by the Seven Star Sword.

Those affected by the "demonic power" of the Seven Star Sword are unable to touch the precious jade...

"My lord, if you need them, these three precious jades are yours."

Elainesa said respectfully to Lox, "Now that you have subdued the Seven Star Sword, you are its master."

“These three precious jades are of no use to us; they are most suitable for you to have them…”

“I do want these three precious stones.”

Lockes did not deny it.

He wanted to study these three precious jades.
