Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

As the vice-captain of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's crew, she needs to fight alongside Rocks and doesn't want to hold him back.

"Isn't this stress?"

Lox gave a wry smile: "Of course I hope you can fight alongside me, but don't push yourself too hard."

"Master Koushirou specifically asked me to take good care of you. If you get exhausted, I don't know how I'll explain it to him. He'll probably just grab a knife and chop me up..."

“My father is not that kind of person. Besides, this was a three-year agreement. I lost to you. This is my choice. After you persuaded him, he will not oppose my decision.”

Kuina looked at the Wado Ichimonji in her hand and slowly said, "This is the path I chose myself. It has nothing to do with my father or you. I will not stop!"

“It’s different. After all, I took away the daughter he raised for eighteen years. I have to consider a father’s feelings.”

Lox looked troubled: "A father's temper is not easy to put out..."

"Please, don't overexert yourself and collapse. I'm really afraid he'll pull out a knife and try to kill me next time we meet!"

"He can't beat you..."

After hearing this, Kuina was both amused and exasperated: "Besides, what you said is always ambiguous. Anyone who doesn't know the context might think that I eloped with you and then you wronged me..."

Lox chuckled, "It's not exactly an elopement, but it's pretty much the same..."

"In short, don't overwork yourself. Your progress is already fast enough. Cultivation requires a balance of work and rest."

Rocks laughed and said, "I was just planning to visit Angel Island. I've been busy building Nami's villa lately, so I haven't had a chance to go there yet."

Kuina glanced at Lox: "Can I take that as an invitation to go on a date?"

So, are we going?

"go with!"

Guina laughed: "Wait for me, I'm going to take a shower first."

Stopping in her tracks, Kuina asked again, "By the way, are we the only two here?"

"Nami is still basking in happiness, Robin went to study the Shandora ruins, and Xiao Yi and Yi Xiao went on an adventure in the forest. Well, it's just the two of us. What? Do you mind?"

"I don't mind. Come to think of it, we haven't had any alone time in a long time since other companions joined us..."

Kuina remarked, "It's only been a little over four months since we set sail, but it feels like a very long time has passed..."

"Has it been more than four months?"

Rocks sighed, "Anyone else would probably have already stormed into the New World, while we're still wandering around in the first half of the Grand Line..."

Kuina smiled and said, "We stayed in the East China Sea for quite a long time. At that time, we were not wanted and we did not have a specific target."

"After reaching the Grand Line, we always head towards a specific island."

"It wasn't as free as it was in the East China Sea."

Rocks nodded: "But here we don't need to worry about the World Government or the Navy pursuing us. We can stop and relax for a bit..."

"I understand, I'll slow down my training pace. I cherish my body and don't want to become a muscle woman..."

"Tch, I thought you didn't care about your appearance."

"No woman can be indifferent to her appearance, and besides... it's not okay to be indifferent now..."

"..."

Kuina returned to her room.

Meanwhile, Lox was pondering Kuina's words, counting on his fingers as he thought, "Being too handsome is indeed a problem."

What else could he do?

He was just a seventeen-year-old minor.

Now is not the time to consider these things.

He still has goals that he hasn't achieved.

Let's talk about it after we achieve our goal.

Anyway, there's still a long time ahead, and a long future ahead.

There's no rush...

……

For some time afterward.

The Blackwing Demon adventure group stopped their adventures and settled down peacefully on the sky island...

However, the great sea route below will not become peaceful because of the "disappearance" of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group.

Although it wasn't as eventful as when the Blackwing Archmage was around.

However, quite a few incidents also occurred—

For example, "Fire Fist" Ace rejected the invitation to become a Shichibukai, his bounty increased, and he became a Supernova.

Furthermore, they caused quite a stir in the Sabaody Archipelago and have now entered the New World...

For example, Bucky Barnes, the Joker, became more widely known because of another incident.

The opposing side recruited many subordinates, raised the bounty again, and became a supernova, Hai Tong.

Even its title has been changed to "Thousand-Liang Daohua", and it is currently one of the Navy's key targets of attention.

Rumors are circulating on the high seas that the World Government and the Navy plan to invite Buggy, the "Thousand-Ryo Master," to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, the news has not yet been confirmed, and the newspapers have not reported it...

The most noteworthy.

Of course, other members joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

This person is the "tyrant" Bartholomew Bear...

This sea is always full of incidents!

However, the lack of news about Blackwing Demon Lord F for more than a month has puzzled many people.

Some people speculate whether Blackwing Daemon has been captured by the World Government and Navy.

However, this conjecture was quickly refuted.

If Blackwing Daemon Haifu is captured by the World Government or the Navy, the Navy will definitely report it.

It's impossible that there wasn't a single word about it.

After all, Blackwing Demon Lord F is a newcomer among newcomers, and they can't even be considered newcomers.

The title of supernova can be bestowed upon "Fire Fist" Ace and "Thousand Ryo Transformation" Buggy.

But no one would think that the term "supernova" could be applied to "black-haired swordsman" Rocks...

Because the strength and threat of "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks have exceeded the evaluation of a supernova.

However, in any case...

The disappearance of the Blackwing Demon Lord Hai Zi F is indeed something that many people are discussing and talking about...

Even world governments and navies are paying close attention to this.

According to the intelligence they gathered.

The last place where the Blackwing Demon Lord Haiji F finally appeared was on a lawless island called Jaya Island in the first half of the first half of the Grand Line.

After that, the other party disappeared without a trace, and all clues about them were lost.

This is very unusual!

They wondered if the Blackwing Archmage was "spreading rumors and creating chaos."

……

Sky island.

Apayado.

The training area is located above the clouds on the central island, which is covered by giant vines.

"The principle of the super electromagnetic gun is to convert lightning into magnetic force, and use the magnetic force to propel the metal projectile out."

"What? You're asking how to convert it into magnetism? How would I know? I'm not a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"

"And don't you know the basic scientific fact that electrons and magnetism are inseparable?"

Rocks figured that after a month or two, Nami's understanding and control of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit should be pretty good...

So at this moment, he is instructing her on how to develop the Thunder Fruit.

The first thing that came to Rocks' mind was naturally Misaka Mikoto's "Super Electromagnetic Cannon"...

Enel was able to use the "radio waves" of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to enhance the effects of Observation Haki.

"Radio waves" are also known as "electromagnetic waves" or "electromagnetic forces".

The ability to use electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic force means that lightning can be converted into magnetic force.

After all, electromagnetics are inseparable.

Then the "Super Electromagnetic Cannon" move naturally couldn't be executed.

Perhaps... the Thunder Fruit is a superior fruit to the Magnet Fruit?

To Rocks's dismay, Nami claimed she didn't know how to convert lightning into magnetism...

"What do you mean by saying that electromagnetics and magnetism are inseparable? How would I know that!"

Nami looked completely bewildered.

She really didn't understand: "Lightning is lightning, how can it be transformed into magnetism?"

"Doesn't the flow of lightning generate a magnetic field?"

Lox explained the principle of electromagnetism simply: "With precise control of the magnetic force, it is possible to use magnetic force to propel a projectile..."

Nami was still confused: "Make the lightning flow to create a magnetic field? A magnetic... magnetic field?"

"I know about magnetism, and the recording pointer needs to be controlled by magnets. How do I control this kind of force?"

Locus: "..."

"You can do metallurgy, right?"

"Yes, didn't you see it all?"

"When you were doing metallurgy, weren't you able to change the form of gold? You could even control gold in certain ways; that's the power of magnetism..."

"Huh? Is...is that so?"

"Isn't that right?"

"Really?"

Locus's lips twitched: "..."

After thinking for a moment, Lockes offered a suggestion: "How about this, remember the movement you make when you use lightning metallurgy, and then try to see if you can control iron..."

Nami muttered, "I can only try it out. Actually, abilities are a kind of instinct."

"You're also a Devil Fruit user, don't tell me you didn't know that..."

She genuinely didn't know the underlying principle.

Everything comes down to instinct.

Lightning smelting is simply melting gold with lightning; it happens naturally.

This is the "basic essence" of the Thunder Fruit.

Just like the animalistic transformation or half-animal transformation, it's a natural instinct...

She couldn't explain it clearly.

'Crackling crackling...'

Nami picked up an iron sword and tried it out.

However, the high-pressure lightning instantly melted the iron sword, turning it into molten iron that dripped to the ground...

Looking at the molten iron on the ground, Locus's face darkened: "Can't you reduce the intensity of the lightning?"
