Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

"No...don't joke around..."

After a moment of silence, the room erupted in cheers.

A cacophony of voices arose from the mouths of stunned and bewildered people.

They still didn't know what had happened...

However, some sharp-eyed people did see Rocks make his move.

This sight left them stunned, still not fully recovered...

"Flying Slash..."

Smoker, being a colonel at Naval Headquarters, had more experience than many others and already knew what had just happened...

The man standing at the harbor, near the sea, cleaved those ships in two with a flying slash!

He was shocked and stunned precisely because he knew what this situation meant!

A person who can unleash a flying slash is undoubtedly a strong individual, and a swordsman who can cut several ships in half with a single sword strike is extremely rare, even within the Navy Headquarters.

A strong person!

That person over there is definitely a strong one!

Not to mention the East China Sea, even in the great shipping routes, the other side is definitely among the top!

"Is there a swordsman hidden in the East Sea? And so young at that..."

Smoker murmured solemnly.

What's the story behind the East China Sea being the weakest sea?

So many powerful individuals have appeared one after another...

Buggy the Clown, a criminal who ate the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit and has a bounty of 50 million Berries, has now somehow become a swordsman who can cut several ships in half with a single sword strike...

Is this still the weakest sea in his memory?

"It was him..."

Ace recognized Rocks, his expression a mixture of shock, surprise, and embarrassment...

This is the person he just encountered in that shady shop, the one he almost misunderstood, and the one he thought wasn't very strong...

I never expected him to have such strength.

I think I misjudged him.

Luckily, I didn't say what was on my mind at the time, otherwise it would be even more awkward now...

"That... what kind of attack was that? Was it also a Devil Fruit ability?"

Diuss was also in shock, but more than that, he was curious.

Was that attack... also a Devil Fruit ability?

Ace had heard something about it from Garp, so he said, "I've heard that there are swordsmen on the high seas who can unleash flying slashes; that kind of attack must be flying slashes..."

Diuss couldn't help but swallow hard, his voice hoarse: "Flying slash? Do such monsters still exist on the high seas?"

Is this ocean really that dangerous?

"You...you...what are you doing here too!?"

Pakistan reacted the most.

The moment he saw Lockes, his body began to tremble again, and sweat poured out uncontrollably.

How did this monster end up here?

That female navy woman from before...

Could it be that they really became part of the navy?

Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence. How could such a coincidence happen in this world?

"Why can't I be here? I'm a bounty hunter, after all. Loguetown is a remote and dangerous place in the sea. Isn't it normal for me to come here and make some extra money?"

Rocks sheathed his sword and gave Bucky a dismissive glance.

"..."

That one look made Bucky instinctively back away.

The psychological trauma that Rocks inflicted on him was simply too great.

Don't be fooled by his previous statements that he would definitely seek revenge if he ever encountered Rocks.

But when he actually saw it, he didn't dare utter a single word.

Even if the other party falsely accuses him, or does something even more outrageous, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of them...

There is no way.

He has something on him that the other party can use against him...

"A fake bullet!"

Ignoring Buggy, Rocks' Observation Haki detected that quite a few people on Krieg's Pirate Ship F were still alive, and Captain Krieg was also not dead...

Without a second thought, Rocks raised his hand and launched a fake shot the size of a basketball.

'Boom!'

Explosions erupted one after another, flames shot into the sky, and water splashed up to several meters high...

The Krieg, who had come with such imposing momentum, was blown to pieces before he even landed, and his blood stained a large area of ​​the sea red...

"Hey, that naval captain over there."

Rocks turned to Smoker, cracked his knuckles with one hand, and laughed, "I remember the total bounty on the Creek Man was over twenty million Berries. I killed them now, and you saw it with your own eyes."

"You won't embezzle this reward money, will you?"

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, and moreover, over 20 million peles isn't even a mosquito's leg.

Since he was once again posing as a bounty hunter, and the Navy was present, he figured he might as well take the bounty...

Instead of answering, Smoker asked, "Who are you?"

Based on Bucky's conversation with Rocks, he deduced that the two must know each other...

Moreover, Bucky the Joker, who has a bounty of 50 million Berries, seems to be quite afraid of the other party.

"An ordinary person whose goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman, currently taking on the role of a bounty hunter."

Of course, Rocks wouldn't reveal his name.

He still held the same thought: he didn't want to attract too much attention from the Navy.

If it weren't for Creek's suicidal tendencies, he wouldn't have bothered to do it; wouldn't it have been better to just watch the show?

"..."

Smoker stared at Lockes for a few moments, then didn't press further. Instead, he said, "I witnessed the destruction of the Creek Merchant Guild by you, so this bounty naturally belongs to you..."

"However, I have a suggestion."

"A proposal?"

Lox raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."

Smoker took a puff of his cigar, glanced around at the people in the room, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "Since you're a bounty hunter, you should be interested in these terracotta warriors, right?"

"I'd like to hire you to deal with these sea monsters. The entire bounty is yours, and our navy will also pay you a certain reward!"

He knew exactly what a bounty hunter was.

If the Navy could spend some Berries to invite them to deal with Buggy the Merchant and that Flame-Flame Fruit user, it would obviously be a worthwhile investment...

This is also a test.

This person clearly knows Bucky the Joker.

So what kind of relationship could it be?

Perhaps we can glean some insights from the other person's response...

Chapter 47 The Rear Admiral Attacks!

"..."

Lox was silent. Was this even possible?

The Navy is asking bounty hunters for help?

Well, it's not impossible...

From a certain perspective, the navy and bounty hunters share the same goal!

All of this is aimed at cracking down on the Haini.

"Hey, you're not really planning to listen to the Navy, are you?"

Rocks's deep thought sent a chill down Bucky's spine, and his voice trembled: "He already burdened me with baseless accusations..."

Bucky couldn't finish his sentence, stunned speechless by a single look from Rocks...

"I'm sorry, Captain, I'm not interested in your proposal."

A look from Rocks silenced Bucky, and he shrugged at Smoker, saying, "If it weren't for that Creek Merchant F trying to take action against my ship, I wouldn't have bothered with them."

If it weren't for Crick's reckless behavior, Rocks wouldn't have wanted to show his face.

Naturally, I don't want to be used as a pawn by the Navy now.

It doesn't do him much good.

"..."

Smoker narrowed his eyes.

This person does indeed have a connection with Bucky the Joker, and Bucky's attitude towards him is quite questionable...

Why are you so afraid of the other person?

"Since you are unwilling to take action, I will not force you."

Smoker glanced at Lox, suppressed his curiosity about the other's identity, and said nothing more...

The other party was very mysterious, and Smoker did not want to provoke them.

As for the other party's identity...

We'll investigate further later.

If we can capture Bucky the Clown, we might be able to learn about the other party's identity and background from him...

"However, I hope you can stay within your bounds and not do anything that Hai Tong or others would do..."

After Smoker finished speaking, he turned his attention back to Ace and Bucky the Joker, smoke billowing from his body as he charged forward...

"Tsk..."

Lox clicked his tongue.

They also ignored Smoker's warning.

It's normal for Smoker to be wary of him.

The strength he displayed was enough to determine the outcome of this battle.

It would be strange if the navy weren't on guard.

certainly.

Lox did not want to get involved.

He could just keep watching the show; he was very curious about how things would unfold...

……

With Smoker leading the charge, the Navy organized its forces and charged again, engaging Bucky in battle!

The two sides are locked in a fierce battle, which has now reached a fever pitch!
