Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

He doesn't seem like a normal person at all.

He prayed in his heart that the owner of the Black Demon would realize the danger and not return to Shipyard One.

otherwise……

The other party will likely be humiliated or killed by the Hanafuda (flower cards).

This is something he doesn't want to see.

I already feel incredibly guilty towards them, and if they were killed by Hanafuda because of this, I'm afraid I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life...

"Tch, this is so boring!"

Seeing that Espagu remained silent, Hanafuda seemed to have lost interest.

Ignoring the other person, he went straight to the spot he had just been sitting down.

Leaning back in his chair, Hanafuda's expression was indifferent. He took a sip from his sake bottle and grinned, saying, "Men, do you think this ship... oh no, will someone come and steal our ship?"

"Haha, I bet they are! Our ship is quite valuable, and others will definitely covet it!"

"If anyone shows up looking for death, I'll send them straight to hell!"

"I hope such a person really appears, otherwise it'll be too boring!"

Upon hearing their captain's words, the other members of Tyrant Dragon Freight Forge echoed his sentiments.

The tone was arrogant and presumptuous.

It perfectly showcases the unique characteristics of the seaweed...

"Let's wait and see. Our ship still needs time to be repaired. Hopefully, they're not some cowards, otherwise it won't be fun!"

Hanafuda laughed heartily.

His face was domineering and completely unconcerned.

He already considered the Black Demon to be his for the taking...

……

At this time, the port location of Shipyard No. 1 was also occupied by other people.

Regarding the domineering and vicious nature of Tyrant Dragon, some people are indignant, some are worried, and some remain calm and composed.

Especially a man with a pigeon perched on his shoulder.

He concealed his presence and was inconspicuous in the crowd.

CP9 agents.

Rob Lucci, known as "the strongest in CP9 history".

Rob Lucci watched everything unfolding before him with a calm expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.

He pondered to himself, 'The Seven Warlords of the Sea, huh? They're truly a bunch of destabilizing individuals.'

'However, it's not without its downsides; perhaps after this experience, Espargu's guard will be lowered.'

The chances of finding the "Pluto" design are much greater...

He wouldn't care what happened as long as they didn't disrupt their mission.

This might actually lower Espargo's guard, allowing them to find the blueprints for Pluto, one of the ancient weapons, more quickly...

I've been undercover here for two years and have gained nothing.

Bound by the orders of a foolish superior, he could only proceed step by step, in a haphazard manner.

It's still unknown when the mission will be completed.

If only this could be a catalyst...

"This is outright sexual harassment..."

Kalifa, also a member of CP9, looked at the "Tyrannosaurus Rex" Hanafuda, pushed up her glasses, and showed a look of disgust in her eyes.

Her voice was very soft and hidden in the crowd, so she wouldn't be noticed.

For an excellent agent, caution and concealment are ingrained in their very being.

There was only one other CP9 member, Kaku, next to her...

……

Ten minutes later.

A tall, slender figure slowly walked towards the sealed-off No. 1 Shipyard port.

The footsteps weren't loud, but they were so clearly audible in the oppressive, solemn, and quiet port...

"Oh? They don't seem like a bunch of cowards..."

Hanafuda heard footsteps immediately and paused in its drinking motion.

His gaze swept over, and a grotesque grin spread across his face: "Hahaha, this is truly amusing, incredibly amusing!"

"They actually came..."

Aisbagu also looked over, and upon seeing the person, he couldn't hide the guilt on his face.

If Hanafuda hadn't been watching, he would have wanted to warn the owners of the Black Demon not to come and die...

When it was targeted by one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, perhaps the fate of the Black Demon was already sealed.

The owner of the Black Demon can't change anything...

There aren't that many "Fire Fist" Ace or "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks on this vast sea. To defeat or kill a Shichibukai...

Most of the Carrera company members and shipwrights also showed similar expressions to Espargo.

While feeling sympathy for the owner of the Black Demon, I am also outraged by the actions of Tyrant Dragon Seafarer.

But there's nothing they can do.

There's nothing I can do...

The title of Shichibukai (Seven Warlords of the Sea) completely overwhelmed them!

"Ok?"

The CP9 members in the corner felt a vague sense of familiarity when they saw Rocks wearing sunglasses...

"This face...could it be..."

Kaku, with his long, rectangular nose, stared at Rocks' face, a sudden inspiration flashing through his mind.

His eyes widened in surprise and confusion, and he hesitated before whispering, "The 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks, with a bounty of 450 million Berries!?"

"Even though he was wearing sunglasses, they couldn't hide his handsome face."

Kalifa pushed up her glasses.

She was in charge of intelligence within CP9 and confirmed Kaku's guess: "It is indeed 'Black-haired Swordsman' Rocks, hehe... It seems 'Tyrant Dragon' Hanafuda is going to kick a hornet's nest..."

"..."

Only Rob Lucci remained silent.

His brows were slightly furrowed.

He certainly couldn't possibly be unaware of the name "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks.

A powerful figure who defeated Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and fought to a draw with former Admiral Zephyr.

This was reported in the newspaper not long ago.

The ship that "Tyrant Dragon" Hanafuda has its eye on actually belongs to "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks?

This is getting interesting!

"Oh, why is it so quiet? What are you all doing?"

Rocks walked slowly over, his gaze sweeping across the harbor before settling on a burly man sitting in a prominent position.

"I heard someone wanted to steal my Black Demon? Was it you?"

"Hahaha, that's right, it's me!"

Upon hearing what Rocks said, Hanafuda laughed instead.

He bluntly admitted, "But you're wrong. It's my ship. The moment I set my sights on it, it became my property..."

'Sa! '

'Boom!!'

In Hanafuda's line of sight, Locke, who was a dozen meters away, suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, Hanafuda felt as if a heavy hammer had struck her head...

You will see it if you play it in slow speed.

Hanafuda's left cheek was twisted and dented by Rocks's whip kick, and his head was tilted to one side by the force of the kick...

Immediately afterwards.

Hanafuda felt an overwhelming pain emanating from his head and cheeks, followed by a surge of superhuman strength.

The immense force propelled the enormous body of the Hanafuda cardboard cutter away, sending it hurtling towards a single spot like a cannonball...

Its body traced a path, and with a final 'boom,' it sent debris flying in all directions...

"You think your things are yours just because you say so? Do you think I'm made of clay?"

Rocks sat down in the same spot where he had sat on Hanafuda, his posture even more domineering than before.

It's like a king taking his seat on his own throne.

Looking at the spot where the hanafuda had flown backward, Locke sneered, "I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you in all my years."

"Being domineering is fine, but being domineering over my head? You're asking for trouble, aren't you?"

"Neither Sawamura nor Aokiji would dare to speak to me in that tone!"

"..."

This happened too fast.

Everyone stared blankly at Rocks, who was sitting in his seat, their eyes wide with disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost...

What happened?

They only felt a blur before their eyes.

Then there's Hanafuda, a powerful and formidable force in their eyes...

He was just sent flying like that!?

Everyone was still in a daze, completely bewildered!

'Boom!'

Gravel and debris were flung away by a tremendous force, and the flower cards rose from the ground.

His left cheek was swollen and blackened, and a trickle of blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth...

"You bastard..."

Hanafuda felt the stinging pain on his face, his mind still a little dazed.

But the anger and murderous intent in his eyes were so obvious...

This guy... actually hurt him!

Unforgivable!

"Who are you?"

However, Hanafuda did not make any rash moves at this moment. This guy was no ordinary person; his speed was so fast that even he did not have time to react...

The other party is no ordinary person!

"How should I put it? He's someone you can't afford to offend, right?"

Lockes said calmly.

Then, staring at Hanafuda's swollen face, he grinned and said, "But you're pretty tough. Although I didn't use Haki in the rush, I didn't hold back much either."
