Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

"Blackwing Great Demon Sea of ​​Fortune..."

As soon as he landed back on the warship, Kizaru's serious gaze fell on the ship not far away, his brows furrowing: "How did we end up running into them here..."

'Click!'

While speaking.

Kizaru used his left hand to straighten the bones in his right hand that had been broken by the punch.

A faint golden light flickered as the ape's broken bones began to heal, returning it to its original state, as if by welding...

However, Kizaru's expression remained tense.

If one didn't possess Observation Haki, which allows one to foresee the future, and were struck by the black-haired swordsman's fist without any warning, one would be in serious trouble.

He might really sink into the sea...

This guy was as vicious as the sympathy reports portrayed; he went all out when he attacked.

How could someone throw a punch at someone they've just met and haven't even exchanged a single word with?

Even Kizaru thought so.

If it weren't for the tight schedule...

The opponent might very well draw that demonic sword and cleave him in two in one fell swoop...

……

On the other side, on the Black Curtain.

Lockes landed on the deck and looked at the warships over there, his brows furrowing involuntarily: "A coincidence? We just came down from the sky island and ran into a naval commander?"

If it's a coincidence...

What a coincidence!

The sea is so vast.

Their falling locations are also uncertain.

And then, to my surprise, we ran into a Navy Admiral?

What is this?

However, judging from Kizaru's surprised expression just now, he clearly didn't expect to encounter them here either...

Nami, who had just been screaming, looked incredulous after hearing Rocks' words: "No way? You mean we've run into a Marine Admiral?"

What the hell?

Did we run into a naval commander?

Rocks scanned his surroundings with his senses and said, "Hmm, Admiral Kizaru of the Marine Headquarters. It seems he's the only admiral. Hmm... it's probably a coincidence..."

There is only one admiral, Kizaru.

That was clearly not an action targeting them.

It was just a coincidence...

However, things don't always go as planned.

The Straw Hat crew encountered quite a few "coincidences" in the original work, including meeting Bonney on their way to Future Island, Egerhead...

No problem!

Kuina's right hand was already reaching for the Wado Ichimonji at her waist: "What should we do?"

"What do we do? Get the boat to dock here! Today I'll be the king of docking!"

Rocks' lips curled into a flamboyant smile: "The two times we've encountered a naval admiral before, both times it ended with us having to retreat."

"This time, we'll naturally be a bit more arrogant!"

"I'd also like to ask the other person if anything interesting has happened at sea lately..."

There has been no news from the sea for more than seven months.

Rocks was very interested in what had happened on the sea.

A naval admiral knows far more than an ordinary person.

Whether the newspapers reported it or not, the other party must know everything.

Then go over and have a good "talk" with them...

"Is it that domineering? But I like it!"

After hearing Rocks' words, Nami also became arrogant.

She's not afraid of a naval admiral now: "Hard to starboard, full speed ahead, let's meet the naval commander-in-chief!"

Wapa, now a member of the Blackwing Demon Adventure Team and temporarily serving as helmsman, changed the course of the Black Demon under Nami's command.

The Black Demon sailed closer and closer to the warship...

……

On the warship.

Seeing the Black Demon approaching, Kizaru's expression darkened: "How audacious! Not only do they not retreat, but they dare to come any closer..."

Such behavior...

They completely disregarded their navy and him, the admiral of the Navy Headquarters!

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

The other side should know that he was the only admiral on that warship.

Given the overall strength of the Blackwing Demon King, they really have nothing to fear from them.

A black-haired swordsman and a blind swordsman were enough to make even a great general like him feel helpless against them...

Iska, too, looked at the Black Demon approaching them with a grave expression and asked in a deep voice, "Admiral Kizaru, is that really the Black Winged Demon?"

"The 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks is on that ship, along with the blind swordsman, the iron-slaying swordsman, and the son of the devil. What do you think?"

Kizaru said in a deep voice.

My mind was already racing, trying to figure out how to handle the situation.

Should we retreat or leave?

Well, Kizaru doesn't want to clash with Blackwing Daemon here; their chances of winning aren't high...

'Om! '

But at that moment, an inexplicable force of gravity appeared out of nowhere and pressed down on the warship.

It caused a hole to form in the sea around the warship.

Apart from Kizaru, the rest of the navy on the warship were already lying prone on the deck under the pressure of this gravity...

Yi Xiao made his move!

"gravity……"

Kizaru's body shimmered with golden light as he used elemental transformation to evade the pressure of gravity.

He looked at all his subordinates who had been forced to the ground, his expression growing even more grave: "This is troublesome. Now we can't leave even if we wanted to..."

The blind swordsman has made his move.

The abilities of a fighter who can rival Aokiji are beyond the capabilities of the ordinary navy to resist...

The warships couldn't even move an inch!

Thank you!

This is really troublesome!

He was confident he could leave, but he couldn't bring himself to slink away alone...

"Speaking of which, this is our first meeting, isn't it? Admiral Kizaru."

A rift was torn open in the space, and Locus strolled out of it with an air of nonchalance.

Looking at Kizaru's solemn expression, Rocks grinned and said, "It's quite unexpected that I'd run into a Marine Headquarters Admiral here."

This spatial fissure...

It is an ability called "Void Release" that comes from the Blackwing Great Void.

In order to replenish the Blackwing Great Demon Void's "energy consumption" and get rid of his "gluttonous" state.

Rocks chose to eat the Door Fruit.

After that, Lox gained a special "understanding" of space, enabling him to tear through space and move between spaces.

'Space ability! ? '

Upon seeing Rocks suddenly appear, Kizaru's pupils contracted again.

The "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks actually has space-related abilities?

Is there any record of this in the information?

This method of movement is definitely a spatial ability...

Suppressing his surprise and unease, Kizaru stared at Rocks and said in a deep voice, "What is your purpose, Black-haired Swordsman..."

"I didn't have any particular purpose. It was just a coincidence that we met. It wouldn't be in my nature not to have a chat."

"After all, I've been in seclusion for more than half a year, and my understanding of this sea is still stuck at the level of what it was more than half a year ago," Locke said leisurely.

"So I wanted to chat with you, Admiral Kizaru, about the recent changes in the sea. How about it? I don't think you'll refuse, Admiral Kizaru?"

"..."

Kizaru fell silent.

So, during the six months or so that the Blackwing Demon Lord Haifu disappeared, was he in seclusion?

No, it's to increase one's own strength, isn't it?

The information does not mention that the black-haired swordsman can use space-related abilities.

Moreover, at this moment, the black-haired swordsman exerted considerable pressure on him, thanks to his Observation Haki...

This guy's terrifying talent is something the Navy emphasizes, and now that more than half a year has passed, his strength must have improved by leaps and bounds.

It's definitely stronger than it was six months ago, and by a significant margin...

"That's terrifying. After hiding for more than half a year, he dared to confront a Navy Admiral when he went out to sea again, and even threatened him with words..."

Kizaru was very wary, but his tone was rather calm: "Has anyone ever told you that you're scary? The black-haired swordsman..."

"A few months ago, if I encountered Zeff or Aokiji, I would have chosen to retreat. Now, several months have passed, and if I were to encounter a Marine Admiral, would I still retreat..."

Lox grinned and said, "Haven't I been hiding away all this time for nothing?"

"Or do you want to fight me first and then have a proper 'talk' with me, Admiral Kizaru..."

Chapter 157 Kizaru: Is this fight inevitable? Rocks' "Hollowfication" state!

"Forget it, let's fight first and then talk."

"It's rare to run into a Naval Headquarters Admiral; it would be a shame not to have a fight..."

By chance, they encountered only one Navy Headquarters Admiral.

It would be unreasonable not to have a fight...

"After all, there's still plenty of time!"

A flamboyant smile curled at the corners of Lockes' lips, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was so obvious.

It's like saying, "You, Kizaru, have no choice but to fight this battle!"

"..."

Kizaru fell silent again, his lips twitching wildly.

This guy is really domineering.
