Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Finally, she sighed: "I won't have any opinion. People are dying all the time in this ocean."

"No one is invincible, especially in this day and age."

"At most, I'll feel sad and upset for a while, but that's my stance as a daughter..."

That's just how this ocean is; killing and being killed are both perfectly natural.

She wouldn't even think about avenging her mother.

I'll only feel sad about it for a while.

She has broken away from the Charlotte family and embarked on her own path...

Lox smiled and said, "You seem to have a pretty good attitude about it."

Lola said, "After all, I'm also a seafarer, and I've already prepared myself mentally for this path."

"I am like this, and so is my mother. On this vast ocean, no one can escape this kind of thing."

"Yes, Hai Tong will die on this sea one day, but thankfully I'm not Hai Tong."

Lox nodded and grinned, "Then I should be able to live a long time."

Laura: "..."

Is that what she meant?

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lola said goodbye to Rocks, and they planned to set sail.

The reason...

This was partly because the former enemy had become the benefactor's ally, and partly because Rocks had a grudge against his own mother.

Lola felt quite uncomfortable staying here.

It's best to leave here as soon as possible.

Brook was also eager to go out to sea and get to Twin Capes as soon as possible to fulfill his promise to Laboon.

Therefore, he also offered his resignation.

Perhaps moved by the story of Laboon and Lombard's Pirate F, Lola invites Brook to board the ship and will take him to Twin Capes.

Brook boarded Lola's ship, heading towards Twin Capes.

For them, things here are over, and they can begin a new journey.

This is the main theme of this sea...

After the others left, Robin sat down next to Rocks, resting his chin on his right hand: "If you weren't satisfied with what Lola just said, would you have killed them?"

"No, I'm not the vicious Hai Tong!"

Lox shook his head: "The reason I asked that question was more about considering something."

"It's just a matter of what kind of psychological trauma killing a mother will cause to her children."

Yes, Lox occasionally pondered philosophical matters as well.

Although not many...

I was just saying it offhand...

Robin asked curiously, "If you think you would, would you give up on revenge?"

No, that won't happen.

Lox shrugged: "I'm considering it, but I still need to get revenge. I was just saying it casually, just treat it as a chat."

Rocks could be merciful, but only to ordinary people.

He will not show mercy to enemies or adversaries.

Never!

"...Is that how you talk to someone? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were testing them, and that you'd kill them if they answered incorrectly. Lola must be terrified..."

"Is it my fault? I said from the beginning that I wouldn't hold a grudge against her, that we were just chatting and I was taking the opportunity to think about some philosophical things."

"If you were an ordinary person, there would be no problem saying this, but now that you have a high level of power and status, your every word and action is being watched, cared about, and misinterpreted."

"I have to watch my words and actions? Please, I'm not some public figure, some wild adventurer. Why should I think about so much?"

Lox chuckled: "What other people think is none of my business. I'll do what I want. Not happy? Keep it to yourself!"

What kind of important person's words and actions?

It's nothing to him!

He would never pretend to be someone he's not; doing whatever he wants is just his personality.

Feeling annoyed? Just keep it to yourself!

Robin's eyes gleamed as he rested his chin on his hand and said with a smile, "Oh my, how domineering! No wonder you're my captain!"

Lox glanced at Robin: "What's with that sarcastic tone?"

"What's so strange about it?"

Robin rolled his eyes at Lox: "It's clearly amazement and admiration, okay?"

I can't tell.

"..."

Robin was speechless.

He didn't continue the conversation, but instead asked, "Speaking of which, I really didn't know you had a grudge against Charlotte Linlin. If that's the case, then we can't avoid becoming enemies with the two Yonko of the New World..."

"Would you even one day actively seek out trouble with them?"

"Are you scared? Miss Historian, I told you when you joined the Blackwing Demon Adventure Group that my troubles might be even bigger than yours."

Lox laughed and joked, "But now that you're scared, you have no way out. You're bound to me for the rest of your life."

Robin blinked: "What do I have to be afraid of with you here? Aren't you going to protect me?"

"Please add 'men' after 'me' because I don't discriminate; everyone is under my protection!"

"All of them...do you mean women?"

“Men don’t need my protection; they can take care of themselves.”

Rocks waved his hand and said magnanimously, "If you can't take care of yourself, you're not only not my partner, but I can't afford to lose face!"

Robin said pointedly, "You have quite the ambition!"

"Don't slander me, I'm telling you!"

"I didn't even say what it was about, and you've already jumped to conclusions. So you really have those kinds of thoughts? That's quite an 'ambition'!"

"...Forget it, I'm not going to talk to you anymore, you scheming woman. You always bring up those things. Didn't Nami say that? Perverts are...!"

Rocks strikes a pose with his arms crossed, just like Nami: "I'm really not that kind of person!"

Robin flicked her hair, smiling and drawing out her words: "I hope so~"

Lox smirked: "As expected, you're so sarcastic..."

'Crack!'

At that moment, lightning shot out and coalesced into Nami's figure.

Her eyes gleamed with greed as she said to Rocks, "Little Rocks, hurry! I've found lots of gold and silver treasures! Go and move them onto the Black Demon!"

Collecting loot is Nami's favorite part.

So she just went to the castle to look for treasure, and she actually found it.

what?

Moria's?

Now Moria's belongs to them.

Since the other party is now an ally, their money and bailey naturally fall under the management of her, the "Minister of Finance."

She's in charge of the money on the Black Demon!

Lox said speechlessly, "That's Old Mo's, isn't it?"

"What old Mo? He's a partner now."

Nami waved her hand, deciding the treasure's ownership: "Your partner's money is your money, and your money is my money. What's the difference?"

Lox's face darkened: "When did my money become your money? You're just responsible for looking after it!"

"Oh, it makes no difference. What's not mine now will be mine later!"

Nami shamelessly replied, "Your money is useless!"

Little Luo is definitely richer than the vast majority of people in the world.

If I marry him in the future, won't all of Xiao Luo's money be hers?

Nami had already secretly made this decision.

Find a time to seize Xiao Luo in one fell swoop, and absolutely do not let anyone else get there first, especially "outsiders who steal fish."

Anyway, she's already sixteen, which is considered an adult for a woman, hehehe...

Xiao Luo likes her so much, he definitely can't escape her grasp!

"???"

A question mark appeared on Lockes' forehead.

What do you mean by "what isn't yours now will be yours later"?

He came even though he didn't need the money!

That's a pointed remark...

"..."

Robin raised an eyebrow.

Nami has become less secretive lately. Is it because she's grown up now?

That's pretty daring.

It's almost as if they're saying it outright!

"Old Mo didn't earn his fortune easily, so don't even think about these melons and dates, okay?"

Rocks shook his head: "There's almost no room left in the ship's gold reserves, and we can't deposit it all in the bank..."

Nami wouldn't compromise on this: "What do you mean by 'three melons and two dates'? That's probably worth hundreds of millions of Berries! We can't be so wasteful!"

"Besides, haven't we already spent a lot of money on things that can be stored? There's an empty corner in the warehouse; if I just smelt it a bit, I can store it!"

"As for Old Mo, he probably won't mind. Besides, he looks so tall and big, his food expenses alone must be a lot, so it's only right that he contributes some Pele..."

That excuse is quite reasonable...

Rocks didn't want to dwell on such a trivial matter and casually waved his hand: "Fine, do whatever you want with it. They'll just ask you for it whenever they need it."

Nami nodded repeatedly: "I'll give them the information depending on the situation!"

……

Not long after, Moria and Perona, who had gone to find Hogback, returned.

It did not bring Hogback.

In other words...

Only Moria and Perona joined the Blackwing Demon's adventure party...

Afterwards, Sandia and her duo went for a stroll, along with Illusion who went to collect herbs, Kuina who was maintaining the Black Blade Shusui and storing it on the Black Demon, and Rocks who was delivering the treasure collected from the castle to the Black Demon, and others...

They were all gathered in Moria's castle at this time.

All members gathered together!

A banquet to invite the new members to join the team was held as scheduled...

"Hehehe, although Hogback doesn't plan to continue joining you guys with me..."
