Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Rocks glanced at Kizaru and said indifferently, "I wouldn't even look at your penniless stuff."

"Let's stick to what we said before. Tell me about all the things that have happened at sea recently..."

As he spoke, Lockes flashed and appeared on the warship.

'Boom!!'

The ferocious, demonic Conqueror's Haki swept across the ship, stunning the naval personnel on board.

Only one female navy woman with messy, dark hair could hold out...

"The black-haired swordsman..."

Iska's face darkened when he saw Lox suddenly appear.

He gritted his teeth, wanting to launch an attack, but was overwhelmed by the Conqueror's Haki, making it difficult for him to move.

He could only stare at Lox with a fierce gaze.

The mere suppression of Conqueror's Haki rendered this brigadier general unable to move...

This guy is a monster!

He glanced at the other person, but didn't recognize him, so he didn't pay much attention to him and praised him, "You managed to handle it? That's pretty impressive."

'Om...'

At this moment, golden light particles condensed into the shape of Kizaru on the warship.

Kizaru glanced around, his lips twitching. "This is terrifying. You don't expect me to tell you the Navy's secrets, do you?"

"Let me make this clear first, if it involves any secrets, I won't reveal them..."

"Ha, I'm not interested in your navy's secrets."

Lox curled his lip.

He secretly scoffed: "I probably know more secrets than you do..."

"You wouldn't want your subordinates to know that you, a dignified admiral of the Navy Headquarters, have admitted defeat to a criminal, would you?"

"Knocking them out is to save face for you."

Lox replied truthfully, "No need to thank me, I'm a good person."

"I am truly grateful to you..."

Kizaru couldn't quite figure out what Rocks was thinking.

However, knocking his subordinates unconscious saved him a lot of trouble.

He also didn't want too many people to know that he had contacted or talked with the black-haired swordsman.

Although he wouldn't reveal naval secrets, it might cause him trouble if they got out...

He's a troublesome and annoying person!

"You are welcome."

Lox waved his hand.

Then he went to the deck chair on the deck by himself, adjusted the angle of the chair, and lay down.

Rocks, with his legs crossed, said to the two men, "But is this how your navy treats its guests? You have guests and you don't even serve tea?"

Iska: "?"

Kizaru: "..."

Do you think you're a guest?

This is truly baffling behavior...

Kizaru gestured towards Iska with his mouth: "Commodore Iska, if you can still move, go and make a cup of tea for that black-haired swordsman."

"Otherwise, we might have died here..."

"..."

Iska gleaned something from Kizaru's words, and she nodded silently.

He got up and walked towards the interior of the warship...

"He is a good subordinate who doesn't meddle in things he shouldn't, has the courage to stand up to the strong, and possesses a sense of justice that isn't blind."

Watching Iska leave, Rocks remarked with a sigh, "If only the navy were all like that."

"Then I probably won't have an 880 million Berry bounty on my head, right?"

"..."

Kizaru said that this was a difficult question to answer.

He knew perfectly well why the black-haired swordsman was wanted.

Because of the Loguetown incident...

The whole thing started when Major General Dalitz took the initiative to cause trouble for the black-haired swordsman.

Due to the seriousness of the matter, the Navy had no choice but to classify the black-haired swordsman as a criminal.

Afterwards, the opponent attacked and killed a Shichibukai, fought a fierce battle against former Admiral Zephyr, and injured Aokiji...

That's why he was given a bounty of 880 million Berries.

If you think about it carefully, apart from the Crocodile incident, it really has always been their navy that has been actively causing trouble for the other side.

In the end, I found myself such a terrifying enemy...

Kizaru could only manage a dry laugh: "Iska... she is indeed a very capable subordinate..."

"Ha ha……"

Rocks glanced at Kizaru and chuckled.

Instead of continuing to discuss the issue of differing stances, he said, "Then, Admiral Kizaru, let's talk about whether anything interesting has happened on the high seas recently."

Kizaru didn't ask what the "hehe" meant, but instead said, "What do you want to know? If I can tell you, I won't hold back."

Lox scoffed, "Are Zephyr and Aokiji dead yet?"

Kizaru: "..."

This guy holds a grudge...

Kizaru blushed: "Don't joke around, how could those two possibly die..."

"Hasn't that newcomer come along and taken them down? It's been over seven months, what's wrong with this batch of newcomers? Are they all trash?"

"...If a naval admiral were so easily killed, he wouldn't be a naval admiral..."

"Indeed."

"..."

Kizaru fell silent again.

If you're going to say something, just say it. Why are you staring at him?

This made him feel a little uneasy.

"Cough cough..."

Clearing his throat, Kizaru began, "Some things have indeed happened on the high seas lately, but the biggest one has to be that guy 'Beast' Kaido..."

"That guy must have gone crazy. He ran all the way from the New World to the first half of the series, and then inexplicably went to the Devil's Triangle to cause trouble for one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Moria Tsukigami..."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Kizaru's words, Rocks was somewhat stunned: "Kaido went to the Devil's Triangle?"

Does this scene appear in the original work?

No, right?

Could it be that he, that little butterfly, has flapped his wings again?

Kizaru shrugged: "The Navy doesn't know the specific reasons, nor do they know the details of that battle, but there are indeed reports..."

According to intelligence gathered by the Navy.

A few months ago, Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, transformed into a dragon and ran from the New World to the first half of the world.

Then, while intoxicated, he wandered into the Devil's Triangle.

Accident, coincidence, or deliberate?

not sure.

However, Kaido did have a conflict with Gecko Moria.

This was the result that Marshal Sengoku obtained after contacting Gekko Moria upon learning the news.

Because the Devil's Triangle area is relatively closed off, the navy has not been able to collect much relevant intelligence.

Judging from Moonlight Moria's words and tone, the two did indeed have a conflict.

The story naturally ends with Moonlight Moria suffering a loss...

"This is really interesting."

Rocks counted on his fingers, his eyes flashing, and said, "But if one of the Four Emperors gets to the first half, won't the World Government and the Navy stop him?"

"You can't stop a flying, indestructible creature."

Kizaru shrugged: "Besides, the Four Emperors won't leave the New World rashly, and even if they do, they won't be gone for too long."

"Without the Four Emperors personally overseeing things, their territory is likely to be targeted by the other Four Emperors."

The Four Emperors will not leave their territories for too long without careful consideration.

Although the four sea emperors currently rule the New World, there are still points of contention regarding their territories and borders.

Minor conflicts occasionally break out.

If the Four Emperors themselves were not based in the New World, their territories would likely be targeted by the other Four Emperors.

Their territories and domains might be seized by the other four emperors in one fell swoop.

Some islands have unique geographical locations and abundant resources, attracting the attention of even powerful figures like the Four Emperors...

I won't give it up to others easily!

"so it is."

Lox picked up the tea that Iska had brewed, took a sip, and said, "Is there anything else interesting? Something worthy of your attention, General?"

"There are quite a few..."

Kizaru thought for a moment, then slowly said, "The other two sea monsters who were involved in the Loguetown incident with you..."

At this point, Kizaru paused before saying, "Among them, 'Fire Fist' Ace, who entered the New World, had some contact with Whitebeard.

"Given the Navy's understanding of Whitebeard, this old guy will likely invite 'Fire Fist' Ace to join them again by adopting him as a 'son'..."

"The other 'Thousand Ryo Transformation' Buggy has succeeded 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' Hanafuda as the new Shichibukai..."

"Bartholomew Kuma, the 'Tyrant,' succeeds Clodal as another member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

Yes, these things are more or less related to the black-haired swordsman.

After all, the reason why two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea positions are vacant is because the black-haired swordsman defeated Crocodile and Hanafuda...

"?"

Upon hearing Kizaru's explanation, Rocks's forehead was filled with questions.

Good buddy.

Look what he heard!

"Fire Fist" Ace joining Whitebeard's crew was something he had anticipated.

Although some things have changed, given Ace's personality, he will probably continue to move towards his established goals.

It seems like challenging Whitebeard was also one of his targets?

It is perfectly normal to have some contact with Whitebeard Haikou.
