Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

She has a very good personality.

This kind of person will become a sea turtle.

Yes, there must be a reason.

"It is our honor to satisfy Lord Rox."

Leilia was clearly very interested in Lox, and often secretly glanced at him with curious eyes.

The impression that Rocks gave her was—

He is handsome and has a unique temperament. He doesn't seem like a strong person, nor does he have the demeanor of those big shots.

He seems like someone who's easy to get along with...

It was at least not as "vicious" as described in the newspapers.

However, she expressed understanding, saying that newspaper reports only publicize one person's viciousness.

Even baseless accusations can be published in the newspapers...

“To be honest, you don’t need to be modest,”

Lox waved his hand.

He was certain that the other person's culinary skills were no less than Barratier's.

After a pause, Locke continued, "Were you chefs before? Why do you want to become chefs now? If you don't want to be presumptuous, you don't have to say it."

Olivera took a sip of whiskey and said with a wry smile, "It's probably the same situation as what happened to you, Lord Lox. Due to an accident, you were forced to become part of the Haitong clan."

Judging from Lockes' attitude towards them in the afternoon, it was clear that the other party was not a vicious person.

Then there's only one possibility.

The other party is just like them.

She became Hai Tong because she was slandered.

Because of their "similar experience," he invited Lockes and his companions to their banquet that afternoon...

"Oh, I see. That's just how the World Government and Navy are."

Rocks understood.

He has now been forced to become a sea monster.

He has always called himself an adventurer.

I even had a cameo role as a bounty hunter before, though only once...

The World Government and Navy are truly harmful.

That's why he hates the Celestial Dragons!

"Lord Rocks, is the description of you in the newspaper true?"

Leilia, with her red eyes matching her hair color, looked at Rocks, her voice magnetic:

"Yes, I mean you really... killed two Shichibukai and even fought a Marine Admiral? Wounded them..."

"Lelia!"

Olivera interrupted Leilia with a stern voice.

Then he turned to Lox and apologized: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Lox, I've protected my sister too much, and sometimes she speaks without thinking..."

"And... well, because of some things, she somewhat admires His Excellency Lox. If she has offended you in any way, please forgive her..."

Because his younger sister greatly admired "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks, this was one of the reasons he invited Rocks to the banquet...

"Big brother..."

Leilia puffed out her cheeks, as if she were a little embarrassed.

She was also dissatisfied with her brother's evaluation of her.

She was just curious, and Lord Lox shouldn't blame her.

The other person is easy to get along with.

She can't be wrong.

But how can I tell her that she idolizes Rocks?

How annoying!

"Uh..."

Upon hearing Olivera's words, Rocks paused for a moment.

He gave Leilia a strange look.

He, this "fierce Haitong Benyou Hui Xie Ti Han Lu"

She's a beautiful woman with good looks and a great temperament.

No wonder she kept cooking for him; it turns out she's his little fangirl!

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal."

Rocks was a time traveler, but also an ordinary person.

She was surprised that someone admired her, especially a great beauty.

He was somewhat pleased...

Lox didn't want to boast, so he simply said casually, "Aside from the inaccurate assessment of my 'fierceness,' we're not Haitong!"

"But everything else is fine..."

"As expected of Lord Lox."

Leilia's ruby-like eyes sparkled.

After her older brother pointed it out, she opened up and her tone was filled with admiration: "You did something we couldn't do!"

They were forced to become sea raiders, constantly on the run, and would only choose to flee when they encountered the navy.

Lord Rocks, on the other hand, was a powerful figure who dared to wage war against the Navy, and was even a Navy Admiral.

That's why she idolized Rocks.

Because they did something they couldn't do...

Locus: "..."

Beautiful lady, could you please look away?

It's so hot.

He wasn't used to it...

Fortunately, Nami came to Rocks' rescue. She sat down next to Rocks and glared at Leilia: "Of course Rocks is good, but only average. It's nothing to brag about!"

But inwardly, he was secretly on guard: this was just a little devil, a cunning schemer.

Why are you looking at Rocks with those sparkling eyes?

Rocks isn't Bailey!

Leilia had the air of a die-hard fan, and her filter on Rocks was very strong: "Is he really that good? As expected of Lord Rocks, he will definitely become even more amazing in the future!"

Nami: "..."

This woman is beyond saving.

How can someone say such cheesy, cringe-worthy things?

"Wow, our captain is really amazing! Another person who idolizes him has appeared!"

Robin covered his mouth and chuckled softly.

As she said this, she glanced at Kuina out of the corner of her eye...

If we were to ask who in the Blackwing Archmage's adventure group would stand firmly by Lox's side, it would be a question of who would remain steadfastly by his side.

The number one spot definitely belongs to Kuina.

Kuina has a very special feeling for Lox...

Kuina, completely oblivious to her own limitations, asked, "Another one? Are you referring to Nami?"

"Hey, Kuina, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Upon hearing Kuina's words, Nami immediately exploded.

Her face turned bright red, whether from anger or some other reason, it was hard to tell.

Nami shouted, vehemently denying it: "How could I possibly admire Xiao Luo? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Xiao Luo is just a scoundrel, capitalist, and tyrant who doesn't pay me, likes to hit me on the head, and is always going against me. He's absolutely awful. How could I possibly admire him?"

"..."

Lox's lips twitched: "Fine, say what you want, but can't you just resort to personal attacks?"

Why would you insult him for no reason?

That was such a vulgar insult!

Who are you calling a Celestial Dragon?!

And your smug little expression is so classic.

Please, stop being so arrogant! You've already moved on from that image!

Chapter 142 The Black Winged Great Demon Void's "Attack" is Imminent, and a Smile That "Holds Back" It All Down!

The banquet has ended.

It was already late at night.

Before parting.

Leilia, who already knew that Rocks and his crew didn't have a chef yet, said this—

If they can get revenge, she wants to join the Blackwing Demon Sea Gang and become one of Rocks' partners!

Lox said he had no objection to this.

Leilia's culinary skills were greatly appreciated by Rocks, and the Black Demon was indeed lacking a chef.

If a beautiful woman with excellent cooking skills wanted to join...

Rocks was happy to agree.

However, the other party needs to take revenge first.

Well, I wish them success.

Lockes didn't ask any further questions.

He could tell that the other person didn't want to talk about that "enemy"...

"A thief of pleasure! This is a thief of pleasure."

Nami seemed to have some issues with Lelia, and as they walked, she warned Rocks in a very unpleasant tone: "Rocks, you need to be careful, don't let yourself be tempted by beauty!"

The way the woman looked at Lox was strange, which made her inexplicably uncomfortable.

It was as if they wanted to snatch Rocks away from them.

Although Rocks wasn't theirs after all...

Lox was speechless: "..."

Is he the kind of person who would be tempted by beauty?

No!

He won't be tempted by beauty unless it's someone he likes!

"Judging from their tone, their enemy doesn't seem to be a simple person."

Robin was also quite perceptive, and she made this judgment: "They don't think they can get revenge, that's why Leilia spoke up..."
