Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Page 48

"That's fine, that's fine."

Nami visibly relaxed, patting her chest: "That was terrifying! How could someone offer a bounty of 130 million Berries right off the bat?"

"I never expected the Navy to value me so much."

Rocks smiled and said, "But don't worry, as long as it's not a Navy admiral attacking, I won't lose."

After his battles with Garp and the major general, Rocks gained a basic understanding of his own strength.

A rear admiral from the Navy Headquarters would not be a match for him; only a vice admiral could put him in a direct confrontation.

As for the Admirals...

Rocks felt that he was unlikely to be able to fight a Navy Admiral at his current level, as he was not yet at that level.

After all, the Navy Admirals are not to be underestimated.

I was only seventeen years old myself.

Without any system support, relying solely on his own cultivation, to possess such strength at this age is already an extraordinary feat...

Nami patted Rocks on the shoulder and said in a mature tone, "So, Rocks, you still need to keep working hard to become stronger, otherwise how can you properly protect me?"

"I'm your most precious navigator!"

"Yes, yes, you're my darling."

Rocks rolled his eyes.

Habits are a terrible thing; he's stopped caring about the little girl's nickname for him...

Nami put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly, "Of course! I'm the best navigator to ensure the course of the voyage!"

"Look at you, so capable."

Rocks pursed his lips and ignored the little girl.

Continue reading the newspaper.

The newspapers not only mentioned him, the "black-haired swordsman," but also brought up "The Joker" Bucky again, and even Ace was given special attention.

This time, the blame for the chaos in Rogge Town was pinned on them.

Bucky's bounty has been increased from 50 million Berries to 65 million Berries.

Ace was also quite remarkable, with his first bounty being higher than Buggy's—"Fire Fist" Ace, with a bounty of 77 million Berries.

If it weren't for Rocks's incredible achievement, whose first bounty was a staggering 77 million Berries, Ace's bounty would have broken the East Blue record...

"Ugh?"

Nami belatedly noticed something and asked with a curious look, "They all have titles and names, why don't you?"

"The Navy has no intelligence on me, but this matter cannot be left unreported, so they can only refer to me by my code name for now."

Rocks probably guessed the truth of the matter.

During that battle, Rocks did not reveal his name, and the Navy would not know his name unless they found "a certain island".

Since they don't have names, they can only come up with a code name or title for now.

Such things are rare, but they do happen.

Nami tilted her head: "Is that so?"

Lox counted on one hand and chuckled, "It's fine if it's just a title; if the name were also leaked, it might attract even more attention..."

Why?

"Because the name Rocks is very famous, if that name appears at sea, it will arouse a lot of curiosity..."

"Is the name 'Lox' unusual?"

"It's quite special, isn't it? A name erased by the World Government. Otherwise, why do you think I didn't want to be noticed by the Navy before?"

"..."

Nami was indeed curious about this.

Even though Rocks was the one who defeated the dragon, he blamed Bucky Barnes for it.

The reason given was that they didn't want to attract the attention of the Navy.

It turns out that it was because the name "Rocks" was very special, and was even a name that was erased by the World Government?

"Well, um... if your name gets noticed..."

Nami gleaned something from those simple words, a chill ran down her spine, and she stammered, "What kind of consequences will there be?"

Rocks stroked his chin: "Perhaps the admirals would take action regardless of the bounty amount?"

"Ah?"

Nami froze, like one of the Seven Fairies frozen in place, her mouth agape: "The...the Marine Admiral is moving!?"

A naval admiral might take action simply because of a name.

What kind of weird name is this? Will it have such serious consequences?

I actually got into such a big mess.

I'm going to die, ......

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Nami frozen in shock, Rocks couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Patting Nami's head, Rocks laughed, "We haven't been exposed yet, have we? Relax, we're relatively safe until we're exposed."

"I've been scammed! I've been scammed!"

Nami pouted, looking utterly aggrieved: "Why do I have to attend your classes? Why do I have to go through this kind of thing...?"

"How can this be called a lie? I didn't even kidnap you, and you decided to join our group on your own. It was your own choice, Miss Navigator!"

Rocks was very happy.

That pitiful little face is so cute.

Nami's face was sour: "..."

The thought of her "colorful" future life made her want to cry.

This is not something she should have to endure at her age!

What are you talking about?

Kuina, who had stopped practicing her Observation Haki and was wiping her sweat with a towel, walked over here.

Seeing Nami's sour expression, she asked curiously, "Nami, what's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

"Kuina!"

When Nami saw Kuina arrive, she sternly accused Rocks of "deceiving" her: "Were you also deceived by Rocks? His name is weird. If it's exposed, we'll be hunted down by the Admirals!"

Kuina blinked: "I know, so what?"

"?"

Nami's expression froze again, her eyes widening: "You...you know?"

"I know."

Kuina nodded, her ponytail swaying with her movements: "And then?"

Nami looked utterly hopeless, like a fish that had lost all its dreams: "I'm dead, my heart is dead..."

Kuina: "?"

What's this little girl up to?

With a quick thought, Kuina realized something, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Don't worry, Rocks and I will protect you. No matter what enemies come in the future, we will defeat them."

Nami still pouted: "Of course I know that, but I'll become a burden to you all..."

Disembarking is, of course, out of the question.

She will accompany Lox and Kuina on their journey, no matter what dangers lie ahead.

Of course, there was fear and panic.

But he was more worried about his own future, as well as the safety of Lox and Kuina.

If such a thing really happens, she won't be able to help at all; she'll just be a burden!

She didn't want to see anything happen to Rocks, Kuina, and the others!

Chapter 60 Old Duke: This kid is world-renowned for his swordsmanship?

"You little girl, you think of a lot."

Lockes smiled and said, "You are my navigator, how could you be a burden? You are of more help to us than you think. Without you, we would not have been able to sail here."

"The great sea route we are about to reach, and the new world of the future, we will all need your knowledge to cross it."

"You are more important than me, the captain."

After a pause, Rocks looked at Nami and smiled, "Besides, no one is born strong. As long as you have the desire to become stronger, you will also become strong."

"We need to protect you now, and you'll be able to protect us in the future too. There's no rule that says a navigator can't be stronger than the captain or first mate."

Can I become stronger?

Nami looked at Rocks with sparkling eyes: "Become stronger than you guys?"

"OK!"

Locke nodded: "As long as you train diligently, you may be able to surpass us in the future. You must believe in yourself; a firm will is true strength!"

"I've made up my mind!"

Nami's tone suddenly became excited, her face filled with determination and excitement!

Just when Rocks thought Nami would say something passionate about becoming stronger, he was surprised.

What he said next made Rocks' lips twitch...

Nami raised her little hand and said very seriously, "I'm going to supervise your training so that you become stronger than everyone else. That way, no matter what kind of enemy you encounter, you can defeat them!"

Kuina: "..."

She thought Nami was going to say something very spirited and dramatic.

Is that all?

"Forget about it."

Lox rubbed his temples, speechless. "Whatever makes you happy."

"Hmph, I was invited aboard by you, so of course you have to protect me!"

Nami haughtily snorted, "You absolutely can't expect me to fight. I'm just a cute fifteen-year-old girl. Fighting and killing aren't my thing!"

certainly.

That's what they say.

However, she didn't want to be of help only in navigation.

The idea of becoming stronger had been planted in her mind like a seed, waiting to take root and sprout...
