Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

That would require thoroughly revealing the other party's "malice" through a bounty.

Through some subtle maneuvers, the world was made aware that the black-haired swordsman's bounty was not a naval error or a mistake, but rather had a specific purpose...

This could also help the Navy save some face!

The Warring States period truly lived up to its reputation as a "wise general," as its actions were indeed meticulously planned and executed step by step!

Aokiji: "..."

If he hadn't known the inside story.

One might really think that the black-haired swordsman's bounty wasn't a joke by the Navy, but rather something they did on purpose...

As expected of a Warring States marshal, he always manages to find such perfect entry points to save face for the navy!

Aokiji didn't dwell on the matter and instead answered Sengoku's question: "The Black Winged Demon's adventure... all the members of the Pirate F team have photos taken, and I'll send them back to headquarters now..."

There are soldiers on the warship specifically responsible for taking photos.

Soldiers were filming on the coast when the fighting broke out.

All members of the Blackwing Demon Lord Hai Zi F were photographed.

After all, the Navy knew too little about "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks.

Now that the enemy's comrades have appeared, the Navy will naturally pay extra attention...

Sengoku said calmly, "Alright, return to headquarters as soon as possible. We need your information regarding this Blackwing Demon Lord's bounty. Let the strategist analyze it..."

"..."

Putting the Teletubby back in his pocket, Aokiji looked at the frozen sea and murmured, "The Black-Winged Demon Lord, 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks, has grown to this extent... It's too fast..."

"Is it always the Navy that initiates the provocation?"

"What exactly is your purpose...?"

Aokiji exhaled.

The opponent's fighting style is ruthless, and they show no mercy.

However, he is not an extremely vicious person, making it difficult to determine whether he is a good or bad person...

"Living on this vast ocean, everyone encounters things beyond their control..."

Aokiji shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the thoughts.

There are many things in life that are beyond our control.

Many people will face this situation.

Because of their differing stances, they ultimately could not avoid becoming enemies...

……

On the Black Demon.

Nami's face flushed with excitement as she waved her little hands excitedly: "Even the Marine Headquarters Admirals could only watch us leave. We're so strong!"

That's a Navy Admiral, the Navy's top combat force!

But there was nothing they could do about it, and they could only watch helplessly as they left.

This feeling is something that cannot be understood unless you experience it firsthand.

Nami was very excited at this moment.

Has their Blackwing Archmage adventure group become this powerful?

Three months ago, she wouldn't have even dared to think about such a thing!

"Still excited? By rejecting the invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, we will definitely be taken care of by the World Government and the Navy from now on."

Rocks didn't quite understand what Nami was excited about: "One admiral can't do anything to us, but the Navy has three admirals."

"And there are also Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Navy Hero Garp, former Admiral Zephyr, and Admiral Candidate Momousagi and Chaton."

"Not to mention the countless lieutenant generals at headquarters, our situation is far more dangerous than before!"

Apart from the World Government.

The navy is absolutely the undisputed ruler of this sea.

The Four Emperors can only dominate one side of the New World.

The navy, on the other hand, is a superpower that dominates the first half of the Great Sea Route and the four seas.

Rocks was far from happy, unsure what kind of forces the Navy would deploy next.

The Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group is still too weak to even touch the Navy...

Upon hearing Rocks' words, Nami was stunned: "Huh? Are the Marines that scary?"

"It's more terrifying than you imagine."

Rocks glanced at Nami and said helplessly, "Issou has the combat power of a Marine Admiral, but I am still inferior to him."

"I'd guess he's only at the level of a reserve general?"

"The Navy only needs to send two admirals to wipe us out, and even one admiral and a few vice admirals would be enough to cause us a lot of trouble."

Rocks glanced at Nami: "Are you still excited?"

"..."

Nami was dejected, on the verge of tears: "This...this is so terrible!? Does that mean we're doomed?"

"Waaaah, I don't want this!"

She originally thought that if she could prevent a naval admiral from attacking them, the future would be safe.

So you're saying it'll be even more dangerous?

How come this is not what she imagined?

Locus: "..."

Your face changes so quickly!

"We're in the spotlight right now."

Rocks counted on one hand and pondered, "He rejected the Seven Warlords of the Sea and made Aokiji dare not act rashly."

"Although there are only six of us, it is enough to make the World Government and the Navy wary."

"I think I should find a place to lay low for a while, and at the same time, I need to improve my strength."

We really need to lay low for a while.

They've only been at sea for about three months, and yet such a huge incident has already occurred.

Being too prominent is not a good thing; it can attract the attention of world governments and navies.

Their strength is not yet sufficient.

If the navy sends just a few strong fighters, they'll be more than enough to give them a run for their money.

Rocks addressed the rest of the group, saying, "After we head to Water Seven Island to fix the minor issues with the Black Demon, we need to find a place to hide for a while..."

Why can't the world government and navy find them there?

Uninhabited islands or even floating islands!

According to Rocks' plan, after repairing the Black Demon on Water Seven Island, he would go to Sky Island to take a look.

Given the current desire to avoid the limelight, the Sky Island is indeed a good place to go.

Yi Xiao was a composed person and fully agreed with Locke's idea: "I also agree with this approach. When one's brilliance is too exposed, time is needed to temper it..."

Robin smiled and said, "I agree with your approach, Captain. For safety reasons, avoiding direct confrontation is the right thing to do."

Upon hearing that they needed to hide, Nami immediately perked up and stopped crying: "Hide? Find a deserted island?"

"No!"

Rocks shook his head.

Pointing to the sky, he laughed and said, "Even uninhabited islands can be discovered; the best place to go is a sky island."

"Being thousands of meters above the ground, no one will be able to find us..."

"Sky Island! Abundant Gold!"

Upon hearing the word "Sky Island," the money-grubbing Nami immediately thought of Rocks's previous words, and her eyes instantly turned to Beli.

Locus said that there is a lot of gold on the Sky Island!

Chapter 126 Robin's Thanks!

"So that's all you remember about the gold, huh?"

Lox clicked his tongue.

He had only said it casually before, but he didn't expect Nami to remember it.

She truly is a little money-grubber.

Nami only remembers the gold, but Rocks is different.

He remembered Enel on the Sky Island—no, to be precise, Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit…

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is a powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit, and even one of the top Logia-type Devil Fruits.

Such a powerful Devil Fruit would be a waste on Enel, a "false god".

Rocks planned to keep the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and give it to Nami to use...

In the original work, Nami often used lightning and thunderclouds as attacks, and after obtaining Zeus, she was even called "Little Thor".

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit would actually be quite suitable for Nami.

Nami is unlikely to become a martial arts expert, so becoming a Devil Fruit user would be the opponent's first choice...

“It’s not just about gold that I remember.”

Nami's eyes still gleamed with Beryl's light: "I still remember you were going to give us a share of the profits!"

She remembered the gold and dividends perfectly!

We will absolutely not let Lox renege on his debt!

Lox clicked his tongue: "As expected of you!"

Nami proudly puffed out her small chest: "Of course! When it comes to money, Miss Nami remembers everything perfectly. There's no way I'll renege on my debts!"

Lox scoffed, "I'm not going to renege on my debt."

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, Nami gave a forced smile and chuckled, "Someone who doesn't even pay us our wages has the nerve to say they don't plan to default on their debts?"

Lox was speechless: "..."

"Salary is salary, and profit sharing is profit sharing. Even though I don't pay you a salary, you're still managing the money, right?"

"How dare you say that! You spent over 40 million Berries on those three precious jades! How can you spend money like that!"

Nami immediately became unhappy.

She pouted slightly: "We don't have many Berries left on our ship. Some of them you stole from the 'Fated One's' ship..."

"Speaking of which, why did you buy those three gems? They look like jewelry, but they're not very precious and aren't worth such a high price!"

"I suspect that the Seven Star Sword and the three precious stones are the product of some kind of Devil Fruit user."

Looking at the three precious stones on the table beside him, Locke explained, "Since the precious stones have the effect of suppressing the power of the Seven Star Sword, I plan to melt these three precious stones down and make a scabbard for the Seven Star Sword to try it out."

The Seven Star Sword has no scabbard; if you wear it at your waist, it might cut your clothes.

Rocks wasn't the flamboyant type like Hawkeye; he preferred to wander around carrying the Black Blade Night.

He is a low-key person.

The Seven Star Sword is quite extraordinary in appearance, which is incompatible with Rocks' low-key personality.

In addition, Rocks sometimes uses a draw sword technique, and the power of a draw sword without charging the sword from its scabbard is greatly reduced.
