Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Can't you see that Nami is still alive and kicking?

There are quite a few people who are watching this battle but haven't gone close.

Unless Rocks wipes out the entire town of Rogue and carries out a massacre, this news cannot be concealed.

Nami's heart skipped a beat upon hearing Rocks' words: "Rocks, you don't really intend to give Loguetown away...?"

What are you thinking about!

Rocks tapped Nami on the head: "I'm not some vicious sea monster, how could I possibly do something like that?"

"Well……"

Nami covered her head, displeased, and said, "Then why did you say such terrible things!"

Lox was amused and exasperated: "It was just an example, don't you understand?"

"..."

Kuina couldn't help but smile as she looked at Nami's adorable appearance.

Then, turning to Rocks, he said, "Shall we set sail now? Although it conflicts with our original plans, we have no choice but to leave Loguetown now..."

"Not urgent."

Lockes waved his hand: "The supplies I purchased won't be ready for another two days, and the Navy still owes me a bounty. I might as well take this money!"

Kuina: "..."

Nami: "?"

What did Rocks mean by that?

They killed a Navy Rear Admiral in front of so many people, and yet they still have the audacity to plan to stay in Loguetown?

Do you still want the bounty from the Navy?

This thought process and this audacity are truly something else!

"No one in Loguetown can stand against me, and the Navy couldn't possibly muster the strength to deal with me in just two days."

Rocks counted on his fingers and calmly said, "Rogue Town is safe for me now. Why rush to leave when there's no danger?"

Guina agreed: "Then let's proceed according to the original plan."

What Lockes said makes perfect sense.

She made a trial-and-error mistake. Just as a murderer would immediately flee the scene of a crime, she also thought of leaving this place of trouble first...

Yeah, just like Bucky the Clown...

At this moment, Buggy was already using a slap to "awaken" his subordinates who had been knocked unconscious by Ace's domineering aura.

The sound of 'slap slap slap' was very loud here...

Then, when Pakistani Seaman woke up, he was filled with a strange, nauseating aura.

Seeing that Rocks wasn't paying much attention to them.

Led by Bucky, they fled from the troublesome town of Loguetown as if they were escaping...

Chapter 54 Favors are something you have to repay, no matter how much you need them!

Ace and Diuce also arrived here.

Both of them were very direct, expressing their gratitude to Rocks...

To this, Rocks simply waved his hand and said, "I'm not helping you. That navy guy just asked for it. I didn't want to get involved anyway."

"That being said, it would be difficult for us to escape danger without you."

Ace laughed and said, "Consider this a favor."

Lox glanced at them and said nonchalantly, "Think what you want."

Ace's eyes darted around, and he added, "After this incident, you'll probably be wanted by the Navy too. How about becoming our partner?"

Regardless of the other party's subjective opinion, they did indirectly save them.

This is a favor, and he will express his gratitude.

certainly.

Ace had another idea.

That was to invite Rocks to become his partner!

"..."

Lox was taken aback.

So that's what this guy was thinking.

However, Rocks was not about to be subservient to anyone, and shook his head in refusal: "Sorry, I have no intention of being subservient to anyone."

After a pause, Locke turned the invitation around and said, "You're quite strong. Would you like to become my partner?"

"I can teach you the domineering way to wield power, the way to achieve a dazzling and unparalleled style!"

"Uh..."

Ace was both amused and exasperated.

He invited the other person, and the other person invited him...

Ace has not yet met Whitebeard, nor has he been attracted by Whitebeard's charisma.

Having their own dreams and goals, they cannot become someone else's partner.

He only lives for himself!

So Ace also declined: "Like you, I have no intention of being subordinate to anyone. I appreciate your invitation, but I have my own dreams and goals."

Strictly speaking, being someone's partner is not the same as "being subordinate to someone else".

But a ship has only one captain and only one will.

If Ace wanted to surpass that man and follow in his footsteps, he had no choice but to become the captain himself.

"Really?"

Rocks was not surprised by Ace's answer.

Before meeting Whitebeard and experiencing "fatherly love," Ace would not easily change his goals.

Rocks didn't have much "fatherly love"; he was only seventeen.

I was just saying that casually. Ace would be great to have as a partner, but if not, then forget it.

Trying it is free.

"Although I can't be your partner, we'll still be friends from now on."

Ace said, "My name is Ace. If you need any help in the future, you can come to us at Spade Shopping F."

Locus: "..."

How did we become friends?

This guy's pretty outgoing...

"Yes, I've got it."

Lox nodded and then briefly introduced himself: "My name is Lox."

Whether they are friends or not is not up for discussion for now.

Since they've made the offer, why not take advantage of this free favor?

If Ace had become the second division commander of Whitebeard's Pirates of the Caribbean, as in the original story, then this favor might have been somewhat useful...

It seems that Old Duke, the foster father, still owes Whitebeard a favor.

Although old Duke told Rocks not to worry about Whitebeard's favor, Rocks would repay it on Old Duke's behalf if the opportunity arose.

The debt is the father's debt, and the son has to pay it.

Favors are something you have to repay, even if you need them.

"Lox..."

Ace repeated the sentence.

He clearly did not know the meaning of the name; he simply memorized it.

Ace looked at Rocks, his tone very serious: "Although I am not as strong as you now, I will surpass you in the future, and we will repay this favor!"

Rocks smirked: "Surpassing me won't be that easy."

After chatting for a couple more minutes, Ace and Diuce left.

Their ship was destroyed, and they needed a new one to set sail again.

As for what methods they would use to get the ship, Lockes didn't care; it was none of his business.

Kuina, who hadn't spoken before, looked at Lox and asked, "Do you know them?"

"I'd say we know each other."

Lox recounted his previous encounter with the shady shop.

After hearing this, Kuina was speechless: "He sounds like a kind-hearted person."

Nami chimed in, "Someone like that is also Haijiao Manjun..."

Because of the evil dragon Sea God, she was terrified of the sea god.

However, this Spade Merchant F, consisting of only two people, doesn't seem like the kind of ruthless spies who have committed countless evil deeds.

"The Navy has its good and bad sides, and the Navy is just as good!"

Lox said, "It's like if we became sea monsters, we'd be a sea monster, burning, killing, and looting!"

"These kinds of people are called sea monsters, but 'adventurers' would be a more fitting description."

"So we will also be 'become' Haini Jun in the future."

Nami sighed, "As expected, you've fallen for this. Rocks, the Navy will definitely have a bounty on your head for this, won't they?"

"Probably, but it doesn't matter. This kind of thing was expected, it was just a matter of time."

Rocks rubbed Nami's head and laughed, "What? Scared? It's no use being scared. You've already gone down this dark road."

Nami slapped away Rocks's mischievous hand and said, "I'm mentally prepared, anyway, you'll protect me!"

Rocks shrugged: "That's not necessarily true. If we encounter danger, I'll throw you away to draw the enemy's attention, and then I'll turn around and run!"

Nami: "..."

This person really doesn't know how to talk!

Nami knew, of course, that Rocks was joking. She turned her head away haughtily and snorted, "Then I'll get off the ship now, and you can all get lost on the high seas!"

Lox deliberately feigned a terrified expression: "Don't try to scare me with such scary words!"

Nami, with a haughty and old-fashioned air, patted Rocks on the shoulder: "Then we'll see how you perform, Rocks!"

Locus: "..."

He exclaimed, "Great guy!"

Xiao Luo is here!

This little girl is really outspoken!

"..."

Seeing the interaction between the two, a slight smile appeared on Kuina's lips.

When they have nothing to do, the two of them sometimes bicker, which adds some fun to their lives.

Perhaps it was because her hometown was saved and she was relieved of the pressure in her heart, or perhaps it was because she became familiar with them, but now Nami's personality is becoming more and more lively.

She's quite cute and likable.

Kuina tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Lox, have you eaten? We've been walking around for a while and we're a little hungry, so we're planning to go get some food."
