Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

After saying that, Perona jogged into her cabin.

A short while later, Perona floated out.

She stood with her hands on her hips, her fear completely gone: "Hehehehe, as long as I'm here, no one can threaten the Black Demon!"

Negative Ghost!

As she snapped her fingers, several translucent, negative ghosts floated behind her...

Nami: "..."

You're really something!

With a 'whoosh', a spatial rift opened, and Rocks returned to the Black Demon with Little Yi.

Rocks turned to Nami and Perona and said, "I'm leaving the Black Demon and Illya to you. I'm going to help Old Mordred..."

Nami patted her chest and assured her, "Go ahead, leave this to me. I'm the number three in the Blackwing Demon Adventure Team, I won't let the Black Demon or anyone else get hurt!"

Perona let out her signature laugh: "Hooray hooray hooray, don't worry, Captain, I, Perona, will definitely protect the Black Demon and the little medic!"

Little Yi said seriously, "I can't help with the battle, but I can make lots and lots of healing medicine!"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Rocks nodded, then tore open space, took a step, and disappeared...

'Boom!!'

As soon as he stepped out of the spatial rift, Lox heard a loud bang.

As the camera panned, amidst the exploding golden laser beams, a large, obese figure was seen staggering backward...

"Cough cough..."

Moria clutched his chest, coughing up blood, but his face contorted in a ferocious rage: "Hehehe, he's a general after all, truly a formidable opponent..."

He was completely overwhelmed in his battle with Kizaru.

In just a few minutes, he was already injured and unable to withstand Kizaru's attacks...

I'm so weak right now!

Kizaru stared at Moria with a smile, pouting, "I think I overestimated your strength a bit, Tsukigami Moria..."

Is Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, really that weak?

He felt that the other party was not qualified to serve as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and that even a strong Vice Admiral could potentially defeat him...

"..."

Moria's forehead veins were bulging.

He didn't refute it, but just let out a sigh: "After all, it has been neglected for a long time, and it's not so easy to get back to the previous level now."

"However, on the Black Demon, which is teeming with monsters, I'm under a lot of pressure. It's not a pleasant feeling to be weaker than others..."

The Black Demon was practically teeming with monsters.

There are three people he can't beat on the surface.

Now we might have to add Nami too, her Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability is quite effective against him...

As one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea, he was somewhat embarrassed that his strength was not ranked among the top.

Moreover, those who are weaker than him now are all powerful figures.

Wapa and Lachi are practically training like their lives depend on it. He's worried that he'll be overtaken one day, and the pressure on him is immense...

He had become even thinner than before he joined the Blackwing Demon Adventure Group...

Looking at Moria's piercing gaze, Kizaru narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is there some kind of magic on that ship? It actually allowed you to regain your will and conviction..."

He had met Moria once before, but Moria had never shown him that kind of look.

Clearly, in that battle against Kaido, the opponent's belief and will had been shattered.

The reason they were able to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is because of their profound "foundation"...

But now it seems that the other party has regained its former will and beliefs?

Without a doubt.

There is this will and belief.

There is a very high chance that the other party will revert to the "Shadow Mage" Moonlight Moria who was once able to fight Kaido!

That would be a formidable enemy that the Navy cannot afford to ignore!

"Magic? Hehehe, I guess so. After all, our first mate is leading the way in crazy training, and the others haven't slacked off at all..."

Moria chuckled: "If we don't work harder, it would be really embarrassing to be surpassed."

Kizaru pouted and said, "First mate? So it really is 'Swordsman' Kuina?"

As he said this, Kizaru's gaze involuntarily drifted toward the commotion-filled battlefield.

White threads lashed out wildly, their sharp, gleaming blades striking with extraordinary ferocity...

The two attacks clashed repeatedly, drawing his attention.

This kind of strength would make them quite formidable on this vast ocean!

"Hehehe, perhaps Miss Kuina hasn't reached the top level yet, but given some more time, she'll get there very soon."

Moria didn't hold back his praise for Kuina, grinning as he said, "She's our second-in-command, a monster who dares to challenge the captain for the title of the world's greatest swordsman!"

Kuina is the first mate, a fact acknowledged by the Blackwing Demon Adventurers.

The other person will definitely become a powerful figure standing at the top in the future!

"The second-in-command? A bounty of one hundred million is definitely too low..."

Kizaru rubbed his temples: "To be praised like this by someone as important as you, the level of threat he poses is probably second only to Blackwing Daemon..."

Then Kizaru turned his head to look at Rocks, raised an eyebrow and said, "Nami, Black Winged Demon Brother..."

"What kind of bounty do you think should be set for 'Swordswoman' Kuina next time?"

"You're being a bit ridiculous. Is this the kind of thing you can ask me? If I really had to set a bounty for Kuina... I guess 1 billion Berries would be about right?"

Lox chuckled, "But you guys really went all out, moving us all here just to stall for time."

"Are you going to start a decisive battle with us?"

"But it has nothing to do with me. I don't want to fight to the death with you monsters."

Kizaru sighed, "But Vice Admiral Momousagi is a serious and meticulous Marine who puts his full effort into every mission."

"She won't back down easily unless we defeat her..."

This is exactly what's bothering him.

Momousagi is meticulous and takes her missions very seriously. Although she is not as extreme as the Hawk faction of the Navy, she will not easily back down or run away.

This is exactly the kind of person who is the "flower of the high mountains" in the Navy!

Lox curled his lip and said, "It sounds admirable, but if that kind of spirit were used against us, it would give me a headache..."

Kizaru spread his hands: "Exactly, it's giving me a headache too, it's making it impossible for me to slack off..."

That's the truth.

He was just blasted away on Island Thirteen and embedded in a mangrove tree, watching as the Black-Winged Demon used his spatial abilities to leave...

I thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief... but then I sensed the aura of Momousagi fighting with a human.

And the Blackwing Demon also arrived there...

This startled Kizaru, who didn't have time to think and rushed after them, managing to save Momousagi at the last moment...

The result is the current situation.

He had no choice but to take action!

"But that's about it. Although Momousagi's abilities are interesting, they also gave my companions room to shine. Now, only the three of you are left..."

Rocks' Observation Haki was always impressive.

As time went on, the naval forces had been defeated by his comrades.

Only Kizaru, Momousagi, and Doflamingo still have fighting power.

Wapa and Lachi also displayed considerable strength, but Robin, the cunning woman, was even more formidable, concealing her presence and striking from the shadows...

The flower and fruit are incredibly useful for ambushes.

At least half of the dozens of naval personnel had their joints broken in Robin's sneak attack...

Seeing that Rocks was looking in their direction, Robin gave Rocks a thumbs-up.

Her red lips parted, and from the shape of her mouth, it was clear she was saying, "Let's go back to the Black Demon first."

Rocks nodded to Robin, then looked at Kizaru, whose face was somewhat grim: "You two alone can't stop us, Kizaru."

Kizaru exhaled: "Momosasa underestimated your strength. I didn't expect you all to possess such power..."

He knew what Momousagi was thinking.

The delay in the departure of the Blackwing Archmage was also intended to allow them to be defeated one by one, or to make others hesitant to act.

After all, the navy has a numerical advantage...

They underestimated the strength of the Blackwing Demon Lord Haiji F members.

Based on current observations, apart from the "Innocent Girl," the rest of the Blackwing Demon Lords are all brave and skilled warriors.

Those who were wanted need no further explanation.

Even the two "newcomers" from the Blackwing Demon Lord Hailian F are quite strong; even the Major General is no match for that guy...

That man is probably a Devil Fruit user; the shockwave he unleashed was so powerful that even a major admiral couldn't withstand it...

"No one can become my partner without some skills."

Lockes calmly said, "Alright, enough talk. I'll take you down first, then I'll leave here leisurely. You can't stop me..."

'Boom!'

Just as Rocks was about to make his move, a surge of Conqueror's Haki emanated from a certain location, fierce, domineering, and powerful, like a supreme king!

'Boom!'

Following closely behind is another kind of Conqueror's Haki, carrying a sharp and deadly edge like a blade, as well as an indomitable will and belief!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Crack! Crack! Crack!

The two Conqueror's Haki clashed and clashed together, and streaks of purple-black lightning spread out.

The bubbles on this numbered island and the nearby numbered islands were shaken so badly they popped open with a 'pop pop pop' sound...

It also attracted the attention of countless people, with eyes turning towards it...

A surge of Conqueror's Haki emanated from Doflamingo, another from Kuina, and Rocks smiled: "Awakened?"

Lox was well aware that Guina possessed a superior appearance.

With the ambition to climb to the summit, Kuina's will and belief were unwavering.

Such a person should possess Conqueror's Haki.

Kuina is the one who's going to compete with him for the title of the world's greatest swordsman!

It's only because there wasn't enough pressure and emotional stimulation that Kuina didn't truly awaken her Conqueror's Haki.

This power will naturally emerge when the time is right.

Now, under the pressure of Doflamingo and the stimulation of Conqueror's Haki, Kuina has finally awakened this power that belongs to her!

"Conqueror's Haki..."

Kizaru's gaze also turned in that direction, and he took a deep breath: "The vice-captain and number two of the Blackwing Daimyo, so... he also possesses this kind of qualification?"

Kuina, the "Swordswoman," also possesses the aptitude for Conqueror's Haki!

Kizaru's expression was very serious.

Both Moria and the Blackwing Archmage gave the Iron Swordsman ridiculously high praise.
