Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Now everyone knows that Nicole Robin, the "Demon's Child," is an ally of the "Blackwing Demon" Lox.

Since Nicole Robin is in Dressrosa, then the Blackwing Archdeacon must be there too...

Robin replied calmly, "Of course, and he's here..."

*Sizzle!*

As Robin finished speaking.

A crack suddenly appeared in the space beside him.

Rocks emerged from the rift with Kuina, Nami, and another Robin.

With Robin's specific location provided, Rocks could use "Void Release" without dispersing his Observation Haki...

'It's these two...'

Rocks immediately looked at Sab and Kelra and recognized them at a glance.

He addressed the two men, saying, "Do you two have something to discuss with my family's historian daughter?"

"..."

When Rocks and the others appeared, Sab and Kelra's expressions turned serious.

Although the appearances of the individuals differed from my memory, the sense of déjà vu was too strong when they appeared together.

You can recognize them at a glance...

Rocks, one of the Five Emperors, is one of the few who stand atop this vast ocean!

Kuina, the "Quick Sword," is a powerful female swordswoman capable of defeating the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Nami, nicknamed "Thor," is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability and possesses formidable strength!

Facing these powerful figures directly, they naturally felt pressure.

However, they had already mentally prepared themselves for this...

And... there are actually two Nicole Robin?

Hmm, there's only one left.

Is it a clone-like ability?

Nico Robin, the "Devil's Child," also appears to be a formidable powerhouse; 300 million Berries is far from her limit...

Sabo took a deep breath and said solemnly, neither humble nor arrogant, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Blackwing Great Demon. My Revolutionary Army has not come with malicious intent..."

"I just want to have a chat with Miss Nicole Robin."

Sabo didn't hide their intentions from Rocks, as it would cause trouble if it led to a misunderstanding.

Sabo said, "Your Excellency is surely familiar with our Revolutionary Army. We are enemies of the World Government, and Miss Robin can read the Poneglyphs..."

He didn't need to go into too much detail; he didn't think these people wouldn't understand what he meant.

Lox was not surprised by Sabo's answer, and then asked, "So, do you want Robin to tell you about the Poneglyphs or have her teach you ancient scripts?"

Sabo thought for a moment before saying, "That's not a proper way to put it..."

"If possible, we would like to make a deal with Miss Robin!"

“Our revolutionary army has also collected two historical texts. We would like to ask Miss Robin to interpret the information in these two historical texts, and we would also like to exchange and share the information in the historical texts with Miss Robin.”

"Of course, our revolutionary army will pay the corresponding reward!"

It is highly unlikely that Nicole Robin will join their revolutionary army now.

Therefore, they can only conduct transactions in this area with the other party.

Nicole Robin is key to deciphering the historical texts, which is exactly what their revolutionary army needs.

"A deal?"

Lockes nodded knowingly.

It's normal for the revolutionary army to have such thoughts, and it's also normal for them to have historical records.

Given that the Revolutionary Army's goal is to overthrow the World Government, it would be strange if they didn't collect historical texts.

Perhaps this is why she chose to contact Robin in the original work?

After thinking for a moment, Locke said to Robin, "You decide this yourself, Robin. I won't interfere with your choice."

Robin knew his goal: to carry out Ohara's will and decipher all the historical texts.

This kind of thing is left for Robin to handle himself.

"Then I'll handle it myself."

Upon hearing Lox's words, Robin smiled and turned to Sab and Kella, saying, "This is not the place to talk. Would you two please go elsewhere to discuss this?"

"We also have some questions we'd like to ask you two..."

Chapter 220 A Smile and King Riku: The Secret of Their Whereabouts Can No Longer Be Kept...

"The outward glamour is merely a facade to conceal the boundless darkness beneath. What kind of darkness lies hidden here?"

He smiled as he stood before the Dressrosa bullring, lightly touching his cane-sword to the ground, using his ability to probe something...

Based on what Lockes said earlier, Ichisho is investigating the hidden darkness of this country.

Rocks' words were never unfounded; his statement that darkness lurked here carried considerable credibility.

Having once been a chivalrous knight-errant who walked in the shadows, Yi Xiao is someone who would help those in need, so naturally he wanted to expose the darkness hidden here.

Upon arriving at the bullring, he witnessed the brutal fighting and bloodshed, and perhaps some unknown secrets were hidden there...

So after leaving little Itor in Moria's care, he arrived here alone.

Are there underground cavities?

The Gravity Fruit's ability allows it to sense gravity sources, and Ikkyo discovers that the ground is not solid, but rather contains some voids.

The cavity is very regular and is not a naturally formed cave, but rather one that was carved out by humans.

He murmured with a smile, "The darkness underground cannot show itself; it can only hide beneath the surface of prosperity..."

He had traveled on the sea and witnessed much darkness, most of which was hidden within darkness itself.

The unknown underground is a place where filth and evil are hidden.

This man-made underground space must be one of the dark secrets hidden within this country...

"Are you here to watch the arena?"

Just as Yi Xiao was deep in thought, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

She smiled and turned to look.

Blind, he naturally couldn't see the person's appearance, but he sensed that the voice was deep and weathered, and the person must be quite old.

With a smile, she slowly said, "I just came here to take a look, and I'm just puzzled that such a bloody and violent place exists in this country full of flowers and beauty."

This bullring is completely out of place with the atmosphere of the island.

The bloody and violent killings, ironically, made Yixiao see something suspicious...

The newcomer was curious about the blind man's appearance, and upon hearing this, he sighed and said:

"This place wasn't always like this. It used to be a place that swordsmen longed for, where they mainly honed their swordsmanship and engaged in combat."

"However, things changed at some point..."

Everything changed after the Don Quixote family took over.

This man was none other than Riku Dold III, the former king of Dressrosa!

Could you elaborate?

Yixiao is a veteran.

He could glean some clues from changes in the other person's tone of voice.

The person who suddenly struck up a conversation with him probably knows a lot of things...

Riku-o chuckled, but there was an ambiguous meaning to his laughter: "Hahaha, let's wait until I have time later. I need to participate in the upcoming competitive fighting event. I can't afford not to work now..."

Recently, the bullfighting arena has been hosting large-scale competitions almost every day.

King Riku, who was short of money, could only work hard to earn money.

At the same time, they are also investigating why the bullfighting arena holds competitive fighting events so frequently, which is quite unusual!

He smiled and said, "May I accompany you?"

"You're going to watch competitive fighting? Aren't you..."

"Although I am blind, my hearing is very sharp. I can hear many things. For example, I can hear something from your words. Your identity is probably not simple, is it?"

"...Who are you?"

King Riku's tone became wary.

He's currently living in hiding, using the alias "Rickie" as a swordsman, investigating and searching for evidence of the Don Quixote family's crimes while earning a living...

My identity must not be revealed!

He smiled and said slowly, "He's just an ordinary blind man who couldn't stand idly by in the face of darkness..."

Even after joining the Blackwing Demon Adventurers, he remained the same chivalrous figure who walked in the darkness.

They will do their utmost to help when faced with darkness.

He smiled and said, "I have no ill intentions; I just want to understand this country."

"..."

After a moment of silence, King Riku spoke up: "In that case, let's go together..."

As the king of a country, King Riku naturally had good judgment and could see that Issho was a person with a sense of justice.

Moreover, he was very open and honest.

Therefore, King Riku did not refuse Ichisho's suggestion to accompany him...

……

On the other side.

In a certain coffee shop.

"There are indeed quite a few people from the World Government here, which is why we came here to investigate."

Sabre solemnly answered Robin's question, then added, "At the same time, there must be something hidden in Dressrosa that no one knows about."

"We received accurate intelligence that the weapons that fueled the outbreak of wars around the world were coming from Dressrosa..."

That's why they're here.

Rocks was not surprised and asked, "How many people from the World Government are deployed?"

Sabo shook his head: "We haven't found out yet, but the fact that the World Government has taken action suggests that something might have happened here..."

Nami scoffed, "Hmph, so it seems they really did it to deal with us!"

The Revolutionary Army members didn't know why the World Government members were there, but she did.

It must be for dealing with them!

"?"

Sabo and Kella both had question marks on their foreheads.

The World Government has arrived here to deal with the Blackwing Daemon.

This reveals quite a lot!

Sabo whispered, "Gentlemen, could it be that your purpose in appearing in Dressrosa is because of Doflamingo?"

Nami tilted her head: "Of course, otherwise why would we be here?"

Sabo thought to himself, "As expected," then his eyes flashed and he said, "If that's the purpose, our revolutionary army is willing to lend a helping hand!"

In order to make a deal with Nicole Robin, the Revolutionary Army doesn't mind putting in some effort.
