Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

"Thousand Taels of Deception" Bucky, with a bounty of 2.189 billion Berries!

"Cook, bounty of 1.659 billion Berries!"

Jinbe, the "One Piece" star, has a bounty of 1.1 billion Berries!

As for "Tyrant" Bartholomew Kuma, the bounty remains unchanged, and there is no mention of any related information in the newspapers...

In short, this newspaper attracted the attention of many people at sea...

……

Somewhere in the first half of the Great Sea Route.

The residence of Buggy, one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea, known as "Thousand-Ryo Transformation"...

"Waaaaah, ahhh, so it really came to this? Damn it, 2.1 billion Berries... This is worse than killing me..."

Bucky stared at the bounty poster in his hand, his face turning pale with fright.

How did I end up in this situation?

He was doing well as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, without having to worry about being hunted down by the Navy, and he had built his own empire. How could he have encountered such a thing?

Damn it!

I vaguely responded to my younger brother in my sleep, and when I woke up, they had already gone to attack the city of Turpan. What happened?

Bucky was initially planning to back out...

But then islands appeared out of nowhere, and ferocious beasts roamed freely, tearing through the outer walls of the city...

That scene made the underlings roar with cheers like "Bugsy-sama is awesome!", "Who knew that while Buggy-sama seemed to be sleeping, he was actually secretly contacting his allies?", "As expected, Buggy-sama also disapproves of the World Government's actions!", and so on...

The Pakistanis were completely stunned.

What nonsense does he have about contacting allies or disapproving of the world government's practices?

He had no idea what had happened...

But he was already in a bind, so Bucky had no choice but to grit his teeth and put on a show.

If people found out he was a fraud, these underlings who were originally so respectful to him might immediately turn around and leave...

Now that he's so famous, if no one protects him... he'll die a horrible death!

And so... inexplicably, they joined forces with "The Golden Lion" Shiki to conquer Advance Castle...

Bucky only realized later that the one who attacked and pushed into the city was that monster, "The Golden Lion" Shiki!

In this incident, Pakistani didn't actually do anything; he simply released the trapped criminals.

Then it became the main species.

What Bucky didn't expect was that the criminals he released also chose to join him...

And then... that's it!

"What should I do? What should I do? Even the fact that I'm a member of Roger's Pirates has been exposed. I've lost my status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Is there any place for me in this sea anymore?"

"No, the first half is too dangerous!"

Bucky was frantic, but finally made up his mind: "I have to go to the New World. The Navy's power is weak there, so I can still be saved!"

Realizing this, Bucky rushed outside and shouted to his men, "Men, it's no longer safe here. We need to head to the New World!"

"..."

A line in the field> extinguished fear  trouble twisting

Afterwards, cheers, shouts, and screams filled the air...

"Oh my god! So they're going to march into the New World? I knew that Lord Buggy becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was just a way to gather strength! Now the time has finally come!"

"Baggi is awesome! Are we going to take down the 'Sea Emperor'? As expected of a member of the Sea Wanderer's ship!"

"Hurrah! March into the New World! Let those 'Sea Emperors' know how terrifying the Pakistani pirates are!"

There were also some other sounds mixed in...

"Hiss, as expected of Lord Buggy! After joining forces with the Golden Lion to conquer Impel Down, is his next target the Sea Emperor? That's terrifying!"

"But people like this are worth following!"

"Then let's go and meet the 'Sea Emperors' of the New World. Lord Buggy's benevolence and strength will change the landscape of the New World!"

These are the escaped prisoners who pushed into the city.

They chose to side with Pakistan because of its "benevolence" and, under the "brainwashing" of some veteran members, followed Pakistan's lead without question...

After all, Lord Bucky's "benevolence" is evident to all; there are "benevolent sea monsters" on the high seas. As for "strength"...

Please, Buggy is a member of Roger Pirates and is on friendly terms with Shanks. It's been said in the newspapers!

How weak could Bucky be?

He is definitely a strongman who is no weaker than "Red-Haired" Shanks!

This trip to the New World is definitely because Lord Buggy has accumulated enough power and intends to launch an attack on the position of "King"!

"No...I..."

Bucky panicked; his body was trembling.

He just wanted to seek refuge in the New World, so how did it become that he was going to take action against the "Sea Emperor"?

Bucky wanted to explain something, but looking at the excited crowd, he didn't dare say a word. He could only let tears stream down his face and stiffly wave his fist...

Bucky's mental state collapsed.

Why did things gradually escalate to this point?

It's all that guy's fault, "Blackwing Demon" Lox.

If it weren't for the other party, he would probably still be "running wild" in the East China Sea, obediently living the life of a sea lord with a bounty not exceeding 20 million.

What about now?

Former Shichibukai, a member of Roger's Pirates of the Sea, with a bounty exceeding two billion Berries, and a close friend of "Red-Haired" Shanks.

Bucky felt his future was bleak...

……

The first half of the Great Sea Route.

Kraikana Island.

This is Hawkeye's habitat.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Hawkeye remained calm: "Looks like it's time to go back to the old way of life..."

Before becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawkeye had another title—the Marine Hunter!

Countless naval personnel died at his hands.

The Marines were all actively seeking trouble with him, and they only stopped hunting him down after he was invited to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

With his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea stripped away, he will return to his former life.

Setting down the newspaper, Hawkeye casually remarked, "Perfect timing. I was just looking for an opponent to hone my swordsmanship against. To defeat that guy, I need to become even stronger..."

Battles and combat are the best teachers and the fastest way to become stronger.

Hawkeye wasn't afraid of being wanted again; instead, he felt a sense of anticipation...

If the navy takes any action, then kill as many as come!

This is how I hone my swordsmanship!

……

The first half of the Great Sea Route.

Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt.

This is the Land of Women, and also the territory of Cook, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Will they abandon us after they've used us?"

Boa Hancock, legs crossed, glanced at the newspaper, her beautiful face unperturbed: "But they shouldn't have forgotten, right? The reason we became the Seven Warlords of the Sea is because of our strength..."

Her beauty is her most powerful "weapon," and no matter who she is, young or old, male or female, they will all fall at her feet!

"Snake Princess... now is not the time for confidence..."

Beside her stood a short, elderly woman with a very solemn expression. She was once one of the emperors of Amazon Lily, named Flameflower, and was also a former member of the Locusts.

Now people call her "Za Po"...

She said solemnly, "Without the protection of the title of Shichibukai, we would be subject to naval invasion. The navy can now easily cross the Calm Belt..."

Hancock frowned her beautiful eyebrows: "When did you get here?"

"Hey, don't worry about it, this place was once my palace after all..."

"Guards, throw her out!"

"This is not the time to be willful, Hancock!"

While dodging, Grandma said, "You are very strong, but it is undeniable that there are many monsters in the Navy. If the Navy invades Kuja, we need to prepare in advance!"

"Now I am the king, and you have no right to tell me what to do. No one can defeat me because I am... simply too beautiful. No one can resist my charm!"

"...You'll regret this, Boa Hancock!"

"I am the King of Kuja!"

Hancock swiftly grabbed the old woman, lifted her by the collar, and threw her out the window…

Boa Sandersonia, Hancock's second sister, said in a deep voice, "Big sister, Grandma is right. If the navy really attacks, we need to prepare a response..."

The third sister, Boa Marigold, added, "Even the navy doesn't need to send out an admiral. Just having the warships Kuja surround them will make it very difficult for us to deal with them..."

"..."

Hancock sat back on her throne and fell into deep thought.

Hancock is confident but not arrogant; Amazon Lily, located in the doldrums, is her best protective shield.

But this is ineffective against the navy, which can pass through the doldrums without damage...

After a pause, Hancock calmly said, "I'll think it over carefully. If it comes to the absolute worst, we'll leave Kuja. The Navy's target is only our Kuja Pirates..."

……

The first half of the Great Sea Route.

The revolutionary army's encampment.

"Hehe, looks like you guys have been doing well lately, fellow colleagues..."

Today, the revolutionary army's encampment welcomed a number of people, most of whom were dressed strangely and incongruously, led by a burly man with heavy makeup on his face.

They were "new humans" from Level 5.5 of Impel Down who escaped together during the Impel Down incident...

This heavily made-up giant is none other than Emprio Ivankov, one of the revolutionary army's cadres!

Upon seeing Ivankov, the revolutionary army leader Monkey D. Dragon simply nodded calmly: "The world situation has been extremely turbulent lately, it's good that you've come out..."

"Hehe, you're still as cold as ever, Dragon!"

Ivankov struck an odd pose, then looked around and asked, "By the way, where's that bear guy? Haven't seen him in ages. Doesn't he come out to see me?"

"Speaking of which, I saw in the newspaper that he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? How did that happen?"

"..."

Upon hearing the name "Bear," some people in the room fell silent.

"You guys go and rest for a bit."

Seeing this, Ivankov told the "new humans" from level 5.5 who had escaped with him to leave.

Once only a few high-ranking revolutionaries remained, he said in a deep voice, "It seems something has happened..."

Dragon said calmly, "Because of Bonney's 'Jade Scales,' Kuma made a deal with the World Government. In order to cure Bonney, he chose to become a research subject for the World Government..."

Ivankov fell silent: "..."
