Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

The sea trembled because of this newspaper, attracting the attention of countless people.

The "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks was already quite famous.

This incident has greatly boosted his fame.

Many people have paid attention to this "newcomer" who has caused a series of big incidents as soon as he emerged.

The other person was not only the "most vicious newcomer," but also labeled a "problem newcomer"...

This guy is such a troublemaker!

From its humble beginnings to its current widespread fame, it has stirred up storms at sea and become an entity that many cannot ignore...

It's only been a month or so!

Many powerful figures and well-known figures on the high seas remembered the name "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks...

Furthermore, among the Blackwing Demons, the "Blind Swordsman," capable of fighting a Marine Admiral, should not be overlooked...

Nicole Robin, the "devil's child" who can decipher ancient scripts, is also worthy of attention and interest from many people...

The Blackwing Demon Lord F thus burst into the view of many people, as if it were openly announcing its appearance!

Rocks's refusal of the invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea is enough to illustrate one thing—the other party's ambitions are probably not small.

Such ambitious people may very well become their enemies in the future!

This ocean... especially the New World.

The territory is already clearly divided and occupied by various forces, leaving no room for others to interfere.

A rising star with great ambitions is about to embark on a journey to a new world.

It will definitely not be quiet; it's most likely to cause a huge commotion.

This would definitely be a threat to many people!

How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?

Moreover, the new world is cruel, and many newcomers will face three choices after entering it.

The first option is to challenge the Four Emperors; the second is to join their ranks; the third is to find a secluded place to hide...

Given the strength and ambition revealed by the black-haired swordsman, what choice will the opponent make?

The first possibility is undoubtedly the most likely!

Blackwing Demon Lord Hai Gui F is quite powerful overall!

Although there were only six people.

However, there are two beings with terrifying strength, whose abilities are enough to challenge the Four Emperors...

Among those who pay attention to "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks.

The one who reacted the most was Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, also known as "Kaido the Beast"!

After seeing the newspaper report about the "Tyrannosaurus Rex" being killed.

On that day, on Onigashima in Wano Country, Conqueror's Haki stirred up the dark clouds in the sky, and the body of the demonic dragon soared into the sky, its furious roar making the entire Wano Country tremble...

Kaido was indeed angry.

Hanafuda cards are a crucial part of his "Beasts Legion" plan, requiring the opponent to legally plunder them on the sea as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

As a result, Huazha was killed now!

This caused his idea of ​​creating the "strongest Zoan-type Devil Fruit user army" to fall through.

The wrath of a maritime emperor is not so easily appeased...

……

The next morning.

While the sea was still abuzz with the news of this newspaper.

Rocks and the others planned to leave Water Seven.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Carrera employees, the Black Demon was repaired late at night.

Now it needs to be inspected by Lox.

Lockes also inspected it, but he couldn't actually see the problem. However, the deck he had smashed through earlier had been repaired.

There is no trace of repair visible to the naked eye.

Carrera's shipwrights were highly skilled, and the Black Devil was in much the same condition as before.

This pleased Rocks.

The expenses were settled yesterday. After chatting with Esbag for a few moments, Rocks and the others took their leave...

After replenishing its supplies, the Black Demon set sail again and left Water Seven Island.

Next stop, Sky Island!!

"Sky Island, how do I get there?"

Nami raised the question, then she recalled Rocks' earlier mention of the "Skyward Current".

An image of a turbulent, upward-sloping ocean current flashed into her mind—an intensified version of an uplifting current that resembles an inverted mountain…

Nami then looked at Rocks and asked excitedly, "Should we go up along the 'Soaring Ocean Current' you mentioned before? Where is it?"

Lockes immediately nodded and smiled, "That's right, it's 'driving' up there."

"Wait a moment!"

Robin suddenly spoke up.

Her tone was hesitant and confused: "To get to the Sky Island via the 'Sky Current'?"

Is it the kind of "soaring to the sky and surging into the sea" that I understand?

Soaring to the sky and flowing into the sea...

She was familiar with this term, having seen related records before.

This is a special phenomenon known as the "monster current".

The principle is that low-temperature seawater flows into a large underwater cave, and geothermal evaporation of the seawater produces steam; the excessive steam pressure causes an underwater explosion, and this force propels the seawater into the sky...

Hence the name "Soaring to the Sky and Flowing to the Sea"!

To reach the Sky Island by riding this powerful ocean current that contains immense force and is capable of destroying ships?

Is this suicide?

Nami sensed something was wrong from Robin's tone, and her expression immediately tightened: "Is there something wrong with the Skyfall Current?"

Kuina also looked at Robin, and she subconsciously imagined the Skyfall Current as an upwelling current similar to an inverted mountain...

"..."

Robin glanced at Lox.

Seeing the wicked smile on his face, I immediately understood what was going on...

Then Robin briefly explained the situation with the Sky-Piercing Current: "Of course not, the Sky-Piercing Current is..."

Upon hearing Robin's words, Nami was shocked: "Huh? A straight upward current!? It's called the 'Monster Current'?"

Are the Great Sea Routes really that amazing?

There are such amazing ocean currents?

What shocked her even more was that Rocks actually said he would "ride" this ocean current to reach the Sky Island?

"Xiao Luo! You're saying we should go to the Sky Island this way? Isn't that just sending ourselves to our deaths? No way! I absolutely refuse to do that!"

Nami immediately panicked.

Denied!

This must be rejected!

"I am the captain, my decisions are absolute, and I exercise veto power."

Rocks crossed his arms, striking the same "no" pose as Nami: "You navigator can only obey my orders."

"The direction I'm pointing is the sea area you, the navigator, need to cross!"

"Ugh! You're making things difficult for me, Nami! Just from Robin's description, I can tell how dangerous that current is. And you want me to conquer that terrifying current?"

"Trust me, you can do it."

"Waaaaah, I don't believe in myself!"

Nami is numb.

Is it really necessary to make such a demanding request?

“I was confident before, and I’m even more confident now. Don’t forget, we still have Xiao on board. As long as he’s here, the Black Demon won’t sink.”

Lox shrugged.

He looked completely unconcerned.

He wasn't afraid before, and he's even less afraid now.

The "Blind Swordsman" Yixiao's Gravity Fruit is just a joke.

A smile: "..."

He actually knew what the "sky-piercing ocean current" phenomenon was.

No one expected Rocks to do something so crazy.

They still wanted him to cover the losses...

Okay, let's leave it at that.

It sounded quite interesting, and for some reason, he felt like giving it a try...

He hasn't experienced it!

"Oh right, we have Uncle Laugh on our ship right now..."

Nami belatedly realized what was happening and the tension on her face eased a little.

Uncle Yixiao is even stronger than Rocks.

The bounty is 800 million Berries.

In addition, being a user of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit, it was more than capable of lifting the Black Demon.

Nami stared intently at Rocks: "But... what if Uncle Issho wasn't here? When we decided to go to Skypiea, Uncle Issho hadn't joined us yet..."

Lockes shifted his gaze elsewhere: "Anyway, I won't die..."

At the time, he felt he couldn't miss out on such an exciting "project" as the Sky Current.

As for the consequences, I didn't even consider them.

Anyway, with him around, I won't die!

Nami: "..."

He wouldn't look me in the eye.

You're feeling guilty!

You didn't even consider going in before deciding to take this risk, did you?

Nami looked relieved: "You almost tricked me! Luckily, Uncle Yixiao has joined us now!"

What kind of place is Sky Island?

Xiao Yi was very curious about the sky island she had never heard of before, and asked cutely, "Is it an island that floats in the air?"

Lockes patiently explained: "An island floating at an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters."

"Shall we go to that dreamlike island?"

Little Yi's eyes lit up with anticipation: "That's wonderful! What kind of scenery will the sky island have?"

Lox laughed and said, "It should be very beautiful. You'll see for yourself when you get there. It's definitely an island worth visiting."
