Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

"Humph!"

Kuina remained as decisive as ever.

After letting out a soft hum, she drew the Wado Ichimonji from her waist.

He raised his hand and swung a slash, knocking the throwing axe down, which landed on a nearby spot...

Kuina glanced at the fallen axe, then looked in the direction it had come from and said calmly:

"My Observation Color Haki couldn't sense that there was anyone over there, so I threw the ax from a very far away position."

"..."

When Rocks's flying axe appeared, his Observation Haki spread out, but he didn't sense anyone in that direction.

He turned to Nami and said, "Nami, why don't you give it a try?"

Hopefully, Nami's unique Observation Haki will be able to detect some clues.

'Crack!'

Lightning crackled around Nami.

The lightning changed its nature, transforming into invisible electromagnetic waves, which combined with her Observation Haki, making the range of her Observation Haki extremely wide...

Two seconds later, Nami shook her head: "My Observation Haki senses that there are quite a few creatures emitting 'radio waves'."

"But there are too many, I can't tell if it's that Vander Deiken IX..."

Nami's Observation Haki is based on sensing "bioelectric waves".

She can find the "radio waves" that she remembers, but she can't tell whether the "radio waves" that she doesn't remember are from people or animals.

There are so many creatures in the sea...

Although the "radio waves" vary in strength, it's impossible to determine which is which...

Is that so?

Rocks was also aware of the drawbacks of Nami's unique Observation Haki.

After thinking for a moment, Lockes said, "Let's switch to electromagnetic wave scanning. That Vander Decken IX ate the Devil Fruit and is obviously a landlubber. Let's scan for things like ships."

Vander Deiken IX was a fish-man who couldn't swim.

They travel by boat, pulled by a giant pufferfish fishman...

A large target means it is easier to be found.

"Huh? Are we going to use that move? But I'll be exhausted..."

Upon hearing the term "electromagnetic wave scan," Nami's face fell.

Electromagnetic wave scanning was a mockery of the thunder fruit that Rocks had told her about.

It alters the nature of lightning, transforming it into electromagnetic waves that diffuse and sweep across a certain range.

It can clearly "perceive" everything scanned and construct three-dimensional patterns in the mind.

This isn't Observation Haki; it's a mockery of one's abilities.

Therefore, it consumes a lot of physical strength.

It will consume a lot of physical strength!

Furthermore, the information fed back from the electromagnetic waves needs to be processed by her brain, and processing too much information at once would make her brain feel very tired...

I'm physically and mentally exhausted.

Therefore, she doesn't like using this trick; using it once will leave her listless all day...

Rocks patted Nami on the head: "With Illya here."

"Hmph! You're just bullying people!"

Nami let out a weary groan.

However, she still took action, her figure transforming into lightning and appearing in mid-air.

With arms and legs outstretched as if embracing the world, lightning crackled around him as he transformed into a ball of lightning, illuminating the sky...

'Om! '

A special electromagnetic wave, invisible to the naked eye, emanated from Nami's body.

Starting from her body, it spread out in a fan shape towards the location from which the flying axe had just passed.

All the information from the electromagnetic wave scan was fed back into Nami's brain, forming a three-dimensional pattern within it...

Nami could see everything in that area deep in the ocean—animals, plants, terrain—with perfect clarity!

"Well……"

However, the sudden influx of information into her brain caused Nami to let out a muffled groan.

Sweat dripped down my forehead, my head throbbed with pain, and my energy was being rapidly depleted by the constant discharge of electricity.

Nami's electromagnetic waves spread even further and further.

quickly.

In a place resembling a strait, Nami "caught" a dilapidated ship moored there.

Beside the ship was a fish-man whose size rivaled that of a giant...

"found it!"

Nami transformed into lightning and returned to her original spot.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, and said in a weary voice:

"About 100,000 meters away, there was a dilapidated sea hull and a fish-man whose size was comparable to a giant."

"There's a fish-man on the ship with a normal human build, wrapped in bubble wrap; that must be Vander Deiken IX..."

The fish-men in the sea were wrapped in bubble wrap, clearly indicating that they had eaten the Devil Fruit.

Without a doubt, it is Vander Deiken IX!

"If we were on land, I could sense this distance as well..."

Itsuki's Observation Haki can extend into outer space, which is about this distance.

On land, he might be able to sense the ship's "gravity source".

However, in the deep sea, due to the interference of water pressure, he was unable to fully utilize his Observation Haki, which combined with the "gravity source".

Looking at Nami's tired face, Rocks rubbed her head again: "You've worked hard."

"I can't help you from now on, so it's up to you guys."

A blush crept across Nami's face, but she feigned composure and said:

"I'm so tired, and my head is still a bit throbbing. I need to rest properly..."

Physical exertion is one thing, but mental exertion is even more important.

All she wants to do right now is get a good night's sleep...

Neptune immediately said, "I have already arranged rooms for you. You can go to your room to rest if you wish."

"Robin, take Nami to rest."

Rocks began giving instructions: "Issho, Kuina, Jinbe, we're going to find the whereabouts of Vander Decken IX."

Nami gave the specific location: "About 150,000 meters northeast, that should be their base, the ship is docked in a canyon-like place."

"Go and get some rest."

Rocks nodded to Nami.

Then he looked at Robin: "Robin, while we're gone, I'm entrusting Little White Star's safety to you."

Robin is strong enough now that he can shoot down incoming weapons.

They have more than enough to protect Shirahoshi's safety.

Robin replied, "I will take good care of them."

"It's yours."

Rocks smiled and looked at Neptune: "King Neptune, you should have ships and coating tools here, right?"

"Come with me."

Before King Neptune could speak, Jinbe said, "When I was a captain, I had a special patrol boat that could be used immediately."

There's no time to lose; the most important thing is to seize Vander Deiken IX as soon as possible.

Lox asked, "Where is it located?"

Upon hearing Jinbe's description of the location, Rocks tore open a portal, taking the three of them with him and leaving the area...

Not long after.

Neptune and his men saw a small patrol boat suddenly rise into the sky as if it had lost its gravity.

We passed through the bubble membrane of Huizhou Casting City and entered the deep sea...

Neptune glanced at the nervous Shirahoshi beside him, then looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "I hope everything goes well..."

Robin calmly replied, "Now that their location has been found, their fate is sealed. At Lockes' speed, it won't take long for them to get there. They can't escape."

The moment Nami pinpointed their location, their fate was sealed.

……

Jinbe, the fish-man, went into the deep sea with the patrol ship and then used bubble coral to create a bubble membrane, allowing Rocks and the others to board the ship.

*Sizzle!*

Space was torn open, and Locus, Kuina, and Ichisho stepped onto the patrol ship.

Rocks said to Issho, "There's no time to lose. Issho, get to the location Nami mentioned as quickly as possible."

"I understand."

He smiled and nodded, drawing his staff and sword slightly from their sheaths.

Gravity acted on the patrol boat, accelerating its forward speed, propelling it forward in one direction like an arrow released from a bow.

At this speed, a distance of tens of thousands of meters will not take too long to cover.

Rocks then looked at Jinbe: "Jinbe, I've heard that you fish-men don't lose your way in the deep sea. If you do drift off course, you'll need to correct it."

"Just follow me!"

Jinbe said something.

He stepped off the deck and left the patrol boat.

The phrase "like a fish in water" refers to Jinbe.

Few in this world could defeat him, one of the strongest fish-men, in the ocean.

The sea is the place where the fish-men's talents and strength can be best displayed!

Despite being a blue fat cat, Jinbe's speed at this moment was many times faster than it would be on land.

Like a deep-sea torpedo, it advanced forward despite the resistance of the seawater...

"Such speed! No wonder he is one of the top experts among the fish-men."

Sensing the speed at which Jinbe unleashed his power, Issho was also astonished.

I've already pushed the patrol boat forward with all my might, but I still can't keep up with the opponent's speed...

Rocks added, "The water is where the fish-men truly reign supreme; we must recruit such talents onto our ship..."

……

Led by Jinbe, Rocks and the others had already traveled some distance.

"Oh? I've found the location."

Despite the obstruction of the seawater, Issho's Observation Haki still had a wider range of perception than Rocks and Kuina.

After traveling some distance, he sensed the location of his target.
