Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

"Make your move!"

The tribe acted swiftly, launching their operation as soon as they detected the approaching Black Demon.

A dozen or so warriors dressed in wild attire charged toward the Black Demon on what looked like roller skates...

The leader was a warrior wearing a bull-horned demon mask and with his upper body bare.

Under his leadership, more than a dozen soldiers charged forward!

These people clearly mistook Lox and his men for invaders!

This tribe is called "Yunyin Village" and is a secluded tribe of the indigenous people of Jaya Island.

Four hundred years ago, they were carried to this sky island by the surging ocean currents.

Over the next four hundred years, they engaged in a territorial war with the rulers of the Sky Islands...

The Sky Islanders covet their homeland, while they are defending it.

But they were defeated and forced to leave their hometown...

They can only hide in some secluded areas to recuperate and try to one day take back their homeland.

Three years ago, a new ruler emerged, named Enel.

The other party considers himself a god, possesses immense power, controls thunder, and rules the entire sky island.

And they regarded their hometown as some kind of trial ground...

Their war has not stopped!

The people of Sandia need to reclaim their homeland and continue their "mission"!

Now someone is approaching their hideout.

Whether the other party came here by accident or was specifically targeting them.

In order to avoid revealing their whereabouts, they all need to dispose of it...

then……

'Boom!!'

Upon sensing an attack, Rocks unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, his aura causing chaos in the surrounding air.

A demonic and powerful aura pressed down upon the Sandia warriors who were charging towards them...

'Bang! Bang bang bang...'

Under the intimidation of Rocks' Conqueror's Haki.

The weaker of the dozen or so Shandia warriors stumbled, lost consciousness, and collapsed onto the soft clouds, foaming at the mouth and falling into a coma...

Even those who withstood Rocks' Conqueror's Haki felt an immense pressure.

Their forward momentum came to an abrupt halt...

Years of fighting have given them a beast-like intuition.

Under this inexplicably oppressive aura, I sensed a strong threat.

Like a weak creature encountering its natural enemy, the mere aura emanating from the other side makes them tremble.

A nameless fear welled up inside me...

"What...is this!?"

The man at the head, wearing a horned demon mask, trembled slightly as he withstood Rocks' Conqueror's Haki.

The face behind the mask revealed a puzzled and solemn expression.

What kind of power is this?

It even made him feel difficult to move.

He is none other than "War Demon" Wapa, one of the strongest warriors in Sandia right now!

"Could he be a Devil Fruit user?"

Wapa thought this must be a user of some kind of Devil Fruit.

He endured the oppressive force pressing down on him and gritted his teeth, saying, "No matter what kind of ability user they are, they cannot make me submit!"

He is the strongest warrior in Sandia.

If even he is unable to resist, then there is only one fate left for them...

"Whoever you are, get out of here!!"

Wapa took the incendiary cannon off his back and aimed it at the Black Demon, ready to fire...

"Hey buddy, isn't that a dangerous weapon? You'd better not point it at my partner..."

Wapa heard a sound coming from beside his ear, and then a hand was placed on the raised firecracker.

A tremendous force pressed down, causing him to point the raised cannon downwards...

"Um!?"

Wapa was shocked and turned to look.

He saw a teenager who looked younger than him, with short black hair, standing next to him at some point.

It was this man's arm that pressed down on the muzzle of the incendiary cannon...

"I am truly sorry for approaching your tribe so hastily. I apologize for this."

Lox withdrew his left hand and said to the horned, masked man, "We mean no harm, we're just here to ask you some questions. Could you please put away your weapons?"

"We just arrived at this sky island and found that there are people here, so we came this way."

"Yes, that's why I made you stop first, because you suddenly attacked. Let's talk this out, instead of resorting to violence..."

Lox was quite polite.

After all, they were the ones who first trespassed into the other side's territory, so it's understandable that the other side considered them invaders.

Rocks was a generous man.

If you were in the wrong first, then forgive the other person for their malice...

"Push back!"

Wapa is someone who won't listen to advice.

He felt a great sense of danger, especially because of the person in front of him.

He only feels at ease when he defeats his opponent.

So, taking advantage of the lull in Rocks's speech, he reached out with his right hand and pressed the trigger hidden in the bandage on Rocks' right hand...

'Boom!!'

A powerful impact erupted from the strange shell, striking Rocks and triggering a terrifying explosion...

certainly.

Rocks's unleashed Armament Haki partially blocked the impact, preventing him from even taking a single step back...

Wapa himself bore the brunt of the pain from the attack, his right arm hanging limply as waves of stinging pain washed over him.

Wapa, however, seemed oblivious to the pain, stunned by the scene before him: "You..."

How come it was completely unharmed after being hit by the shell?

In other words, their hair and clothes were blown backwards.

It was as if the impact I just delivered to the other person was fake...

Chapter 144 Chief Sandia: Enel is very strong! Two "gods" cannot coexist on one sky island!

"The power to impact internal organs? It does resemble the force of my fist somewhat."

Lox dusted off his clothes and smiled at the person in front of him: "Is that enough? Consider this blow as our apology for disturbing you."

"If you still want to make a move..."

'Boom boom boom...'

Rocks casually threw a punch in one direction, the explosive force of which blasted out.

In a straight line, soft, cotton-like clouds and a vast, white sea of ​​clouds were shattered by this punch.

It left behind a deep ditch that stretched to the farthest reaches...

Looking at the masked men who stood there dumbfounded, Rocks said with a smile, "This is what will happen to you. I suppose you didn't want to take this punch, did you?"

"..."

Wapa didn't speak, staring blankly at the ravine in front of him.

The face behind the mask was filled with shock.

What kind of power is this?

How could a casual punch cause such damage?

If those kinds of punches landed on them... they would definitely be smashed to pieces, right?

Moreover, the other party was able to withstand the impact of the attack without any change in expression, and without even the slightest injury...

"No, you can't fight! Wapa, you can't lay a hand on me!"

Just then, a little girl who looked only six or seven years old came running over from the other tribe...

Her face was filled with anxiety as she rushed towards the approaching figure.

She was born with Observation Haki and possesses the ability to sense auras.

These people...

Especially the handsome older brother standing next to Wapa.

The feeling it gave her was... as terrifying as an abyss!

The person who gave her this feeling was definitely not someone Wapa and his group could handle!

Upon hearing the little girl's voice, Wapafang finally snapped out of the shock of what had just happened and, gritting his teeth, yelled at her, "Don't come any closer, Aisha!!"

What's wrong with this little girl?

It's dangerous here!

"No...it's alright, I can 'hear' that they don't mean any harm. I was just about to tell you, but you ran...run too fast..."

A little girl named Elsa ran over, slightly out of breath from exhaustion.

She said these words to several Sandia warriors: "Don't lay a hand on them, absolutely don't lay a hand on them!"

"This child is more polite than you all."

Rocks remembered the little girl.

Does she seem to be the little girl from the original work who was born with Observation Haki?

How could I possibly sense his presence?

Yes, it's also because Rocks still can't completely conceal his aura...

Rocks smiled at Aisha: "You were born with Observation Haki, little one. You're amazing."

"You've also prevented a war; you can now serve as a peace ambassador for your tribe."

"I'm...sorry, Wapa and the others were too reckless!"

Elsa may not have sensed any malice from Rocks, although his aura made her somewhat timid...

However, she still politely apologized to Lox: "I apologize on their behalf, please don't be angry!"

Cute human cubs are very endearing, and Lox wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "Alright, for your sake, I won't be angry."

"Thank you... thank you!"

Elsa breathed a small sigh of relief and thanked Rocks again.

Born into this environment, and with her innate awakening of Observation Haki, she is much more mature and courageous than her peers...
