Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Countless people naturally visit this place.

Among them were many sea bream passing through Rogge Town.

"..."

In one spot, Ace silently gazed at the execution platform standing in the center of the square, lost in thought.

This is where the biological father, in name only, was executed.

Ace's feelings toward this woman he had never met were very complex and contradictory.

While hating and resenting, they also try to understand each other.

The hatred stems from the fact that the other is the greatest evil in the world, and he has inherited the evil bloodline of the other; his mother died because of the other, and also because of himself...

If he could, he wouldn't want to be born into this world!

He tried to understand the other person because he wanted to know why the other person would resolutely embark on such a path, even abandoning his pregnant wife for it...

Is this move merely intended to wreak havoc on the world, or is there some deeper meaning behind it?

He wanted to know how different people viewed him, this woman who had never been married...

This is one of the reasons he went to sea!

"Ace, we should leave."

Seeing that Ace remained silent, Diu Si didn't know the specific reason, but now was not the time to be in a daze.

He said, "Many people saw you kill that naval captain. It's not safe here anymore!"

The safest course of action would have been to leave directly, but their captain decided to come and see Roger's execution platform anyway.

I've already seen it.

If we don't leave quickly, we might clash with the navy...

"Ah."

Ace snapped out of his daze and realized the situation. He gave Diu apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Diu, for making you indulge my whims..."

Diuss waved his hand: "Although I don't know why you insisted on coming, you are the captain, and your decision is the final one."

Ace smiled and pulled down his hat brim: "Let's go, it's time for us to head to the Grand Line, that ocean is our stage!"

With one last glance at the execution platform, Ace silently made a decision in his heart: 'I will keep moving forward until I surpass you!'

Surpassing that man was his biggest goal when he set sail.

He wanted to follow the path that man had walked, then surpass him, and become a stronger version of him.

Just as Ace and Diuss were about to leave.

A man rushed over and stopped not far from them, his voice reaching their ears: "Captain Bucky, something terrible has happened!"

"The navy has completely surrounded this place; they're probably after us!"

"Huh? How did the Navy know we were here?"

Then another furious voice rang out: "We've already put on a disguise, how could we have been exposed!?"

Ace looked over there.

They discovered that the speaker was a man wearing a cloak.

I don't know if the disguise wasn't good enough or if the facial features were too obvious.

A round, red nose was clearly visible where the cloak concealed the man's face...

"Damn it! It's all that bastard's fault. If I ever run into him again, I'm going to kill him!"

Bucky is now very angry and panicked.

He had already disguised himself, so why was his whereabouts still discovered by the Navy?

His experiences during this period can be described as "full of hardships and tribulations".

Ever since his bounty of 50 million Berries was placed on him, his life has been plunged into a living hell...

The Navy was hunting them down like mad, bounty hunters were eyeing his head, and even some of his colleagues wanted to gain more fame by stepping on his corpse...

How utterly innocent!

He was falsely accused of committing those crimes even though he didn't do them.

A bounty of a whopping 50 million Berries!

After hiding for some time, Pakistani decided to leave the East China Sea and planned to head to the Grand Line to avoid trouble...

When passing through the town of Rogge.

Bucky, an apprentice crew member on Roger's cargo ship F, ultimately decided to risk coming to the execution platform to pay his respects to Captain Roger...

then……

They've been targeted by the Navy!

Bucky is very sad right now.

He desperately wanted to kill Rocks, the one who had led him to this predicament, a thousand times over; only then could he vent his hatred...

"Captain, now is not the time to talk about this."

Riding his unicycle, Kabaji wiped away the sweat dripping from his brow and said in a dry voice, "Now that the navy has discovered us, we have no choice but to break out!"

Bucky gritted his teeth and shouted, "Men, be on high alert and prepare for battle!"

'Tap tap tap!'

Footsteps approached from all sides of the square, and naval forces carrying various weapons had surrounded the area from all directions...

At first glance, there are at least a hundred people.

The square was completely surrounded.

"Everyone, listen up! Don't move!"

Smoker strode out, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the square, and said coldly, "I am the new commander of the Loguetown Naval Base..."

"Men, break through!!"

Before Smoker could finish speaking, Bucky the Joker, who already felt exposed, was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.

Breaking through is the only right thing to do...

"Damn the Navy, I don't know how you knew I was here..."

Bucky's body separated, and he spread out his cloak, making him look very tall and imposing.

He stared at the Navy and said coldly, "But you guys aren't enough to capture me, Bucky the Clown!"

If we're exposed and surrounded, then we have no choice but to fight our way out!

"Oh my gosh! Long live Captain Bucky!"

"Break out and follow Captain Bucky's lead!"

"So what if we're from the Navy? We're the Pakistani Navy!"

Upon hearing Bucky's declaration, the group that had come with him...

Regardless of whether the 50 million Berries claimed by their captain are inflated or not, Captain Bucky's strength is certainly not weak.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to successfully lead them here...

Follow Captain Bucky and charge out! They're just a bunch of naval soldiers; Bucky isn't afraid of them!

"Bucky the Clown? Bucky the Clown?"

Upon hearing these words, Smoker was taken aback.

Then, his eyes flashed, and he sneered, "I didn't expect to run into such a big fish here. Well then, let's take care of you all at once..."

A "Great Ocean Adventurer" with a bounty of 50 million Berries has emerged in the East China Sea.

I never expected to run into them here...

Let's clean it all up at the same time!

"Pakistan's imports? Oh, I remember now, it was mentioned in the newspapers not long ago..."

Ace here also remembered the situation of Buggy's shopping trip.

The things Pakistan did were quite sensational in the East China Sea.

Diuss's eyes darted around, and he whispered, "The navy might have misunderstood something. This is our chance to break out more easily..."

He was a little nervous when he was surrounded by the navy.

Ace was indeed strong, but the Navy had a numerical advantage.

Now that Pakistani Navy ships are surrounded by the Navy, they will undoubtedly attract more of the Navy's attention.

This is a good thing for them...

Chapter 41 Flames and Smoke!

In the restaurant next to the execution platform square.

"Buggy the Joker, Fire Fist Ace, White Hunter Smoker..."

Rocks sat by the window, where he could see the execution platform.

He chuckled leisurely as he ate, "So the new one really is Smoker. Tsk tsk, it's quite lively here..."

It was indeed lively.

Three people who were quite famous in the original work gathered together at this moment.

This piqued Rocks' interest.

This part definitely doesn't exist in the original work.

With his intrusion as a time traveler, the plot has begun to change beyond recognition. What will the future hold?

It sounds interesting!

"Go ahead and play. We can't use our phones now, so watching something funny is good, just something to watch while we eat..."

Lox didn't want to get involved in that kind of thing.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.

He leisurely picked up a piece of spaghetti and started eating, watching what was happening below...

……

"Any criminal within my jurisdiction will be punished."

Smoker exhaled a large cloud of smoke, his gaze fixed on the person in front of him, and said coldly, "The criminal who attacked the Navy Captain, the Seaman with a bounty of fifty million Berries, let's begin..."

'Om! '

Smoker is not one to waste words.

Those he deems criminals will be brought to justice!

As a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, Smoker's attacks are always accompanied by billowing smoke.

His arms transformed into smoke, yet they seemed to possess a tangible form, capable of binding and restraining people...

Smoker's targets are Ace, Dwight, and Bucky's spies.

The others retreated on their own when they saw the navy arrive.

Only Ace, Dwight, and Buggy the Great remained standing there, motionless.

It presents the idea of ​​"not being afraid of the navy" in a very straightforward way...

"Natural system?"

As soon as Smoker made his move, Bucky and Ace recognized him, and their expressions changed slightly.

Logia-type Devil Fruits are extremely rare, and it's unexpected that the Marine they encountered was actually a Logia-type user...

"How could he be a Logia-type Devil Fruit user?!"
