Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

The mayor, a mid-level agent of Baroque Works and a billionaire elder, looked at the person who came to report and asked with a glint in his eyes, "Are you sure they have a famous knife worth ten million Berries?"

"I won't be mistaken, that's definitely Wado Ichimonji, one of the 21 Great Swords!"

The person who responded was the same one who had previously peered at Rocks through the binoculars. He said excitedly, "Worth over ten million Berries. If he encounters a swordsman he likes, the value could be even higher!"

"Twenty-one Great Swords worth over ten million Berries..."

The mayor's eyes gleamed with greed; he was clearly tempted.

However, as if he had thought of something, he fell into deep thought: "..."

The higher-ups told them to keep a low profile for now and not to make any rash moves.

As a member of the Baroque Workshop, he could not and dared not refuse orders from above.

Moreover...

There was also a senior agent from Baroque Works present at this time.

Clearly, the higher-ups don't trust them and have come here to keep them in check...

“Mayor, I know your concerns, but as long as we are careful and act cleanly, that person will not find out.”

Another member of the Baroque Studio made a throat-slitting gesture and grinned grotesquely, "Now they're in Old Ori's inn. Once we drug them, they're nothing but fish on a chopping board."

"There's no bounty, yet they carry a large, sharp sword; they must be one of those rebellious young noblemen and ladies..."

Bounty hunters live a life of constant danger, only fearing those who offer high bounties.

The strength of a person is also judged by whether or not a bounty is placed on their head.

Those who are not wanted are seen as easy targets.

The three people, two women and one man, all looked very young; one of them was even a child…

In his view, these must be rebellious young noblemen and ladies who have run away from home and are unaware of the dangers of the sea.

Such a person can be taken down with just a little effort.

It won't alert that high-ranking agent on the island!

The person who discovered Lockes and his two companions also spoke up, trying to persuade the mayor to make a decision: "That's right, mayor. All three of them have delicate skin and are as thin as monkeys. They can't possibly be strong."

"This is a famous sword worth over ten million Berries! If you miss it, you'll never get another one. This is much easier than trying to buy it online..."

"Let's do it!"

Upon hearing their words, the already wavering mayor gritted his teeth, his eyes turning fierce: "Go and inform Old Ori to put something in their food, and make sure it's done without anyone knowing!"

"Yes, Mayor!"

The two men who had spoken to the town mayor exchanged a glance, communicating through their eyes; it was clear that their earlier words had some merit.

No one would complain about having too few Pele; hunting only Hay Clan K wouldn't be enough for them to live a good life.

Those who accidentally land on this island... can also be seen as prey.

They are willing to sell as long as it has value.

This is the "passionate" Whisky Peak!

……

Inside the hotel.

Rocks, using his Observation Haki, "heard" their entire conversation and couldn't help but shake his head: "This isn't how you court death..."

"Are the people here still determined to attack us?"

Kuina changed into a clean set of clothes, her beautiful hair falling naturally, with tiny water droplets hanging from the ends.

Without her ponytail, she looked more like a girl next door than usual.

Locus glanced at the Wado Ichimonji that Kuina had placed on the table: "They recognized the Wado Ichimonji, knew its value, and decided to get rid of us without anyone noticing."

Kuina: "..."

So it was her pot?

Kuina asked again, "Is it the person you mentioned who's worth my time?"

"They're just a bunch of money-grubbing bastards, but they're probably that man's subordinates."

Locke took a sip of hot milk and said with a smile, "There's a high probability that person will make a move. You should be mentally prepared; that person is quite strong."

Kuina nodded without asking anything: "Oh."

"This kind of weather is perfect for a hot bath, it feels so good!"

After taking a bath, Nami walked out of the bathroom. She had changed into shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, and her body was still steaming. She had a satisfied smile on her face.

She was drying her orange hair with a towel, her delicate face flushed from the bath, and her fair skin still glistened with water droplets, making her look incredibly cute.

It's the type that a certain special group prefers...

Seeing Rocks drinking hot milk, Nami puffed out her cheeks: "Seriously, Rocks, why are you drinking my milk?"

She had saved that for after her bath to drink, but that bastard Rocks stole it!

Locus: "..."

What does it mean to drink her milk?

Don't drive!

Lox felt wronged: "Are you blind? Aren't there more over there?"

Nami snorted: "Hmph, there's still some left, so why did you drink mine? I timed it perfectly; the temperature of this cup was just right after I came out of the shower!"

Locus: "..."

Does it make sense or not?

They were delivered together, so what's the difference?

Is this little girl deliberately picking a fight?

Chapter 72 And then... there was no "then"...

Things didn't escalate to the point of "Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble? Do you want it or not? If the temperature is just right, I definitely want it."

Nami decided not to argue with Rocks and picked up another glass of hot milk to drink.

Finally, she let out a satisfied sigh: "Phew, after a bath I should have a cup of perfectly warm milk. This is the life of my dreams!"

"Unfortunately, the temperature was a bit too high; I almost burned my tongue."

As she said this, Nami glanced at Rocks.

These words were clearly meant for Lox.

Not caring doesn't mean you can't criticize a certain jerk!

"Neurotic."

Rocks couldn't be bothered with this petty little girl.

He was also preparing to take a bath.

Seeing Rocks's actions, Nami raised a delicate eyebrow: "Huh? What are you doing?"

"What else can it do?"

Rocks, not understanding why Nami was reacting so strongly, asked curiously, "I'm going to take a bath."

"You...you can't go!"

Nami blushed and wouldn't let Rocks into the bathroom.

"what?"

"That...that's what I...used. Anyway, you can't go. I need to go and drain the water. Otherwise, who knows if you'll have any weird thoughts about my...that thing!"

"???"

Rocks understood what Nami meant, his lips twitching wildly, a torrent of curses swirling in his mind, unsure how to express it: "I f***ing..."

What on earth is this little girl thinking?

What strange thoughts could he possibly have about this little girl's bathwater?

He's not one of those special groups!

"Pfft..."

Kuina couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing Nami's words.

The more I thought about it, the funnier it became, and I laughed so hard I was shaking with laughter, clutching my stomach.

A crisp laugh echoed in the room: "Hahaha, Na... Nami, how could you... how could you have such a thought?"

Nami stared warily at Rocks, her expression nonchalant: "I've heard stories from my time at sea about strange people who drink beautiful girls' bathwater. I'm so cute, who knows, maybe Rocks will..."

"Hahaha, you... hahaha, I'm about to die..."

Kuina's laughter became even more uncontrollable, and tears welled up in her eyes; her persona was almost completely ruined.

What strange things is Nami thinking?

That's hilarious!

Rocks' face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "..."

He's verified with his real name!

He really wasn't interested in Nami's bathwater!

Nami pointed at Rocks, her expression still wary: "See, he has nothing to say!"

"Nami, you seem to be getting a little cocky lately, daring to provoke and slander your captain time and time again. Are you tired of having it too easy?"

Rocks laughed.

But her smile held a hint of danger: "I've made up my mind. That big white pig fruit is perfect for you. I'll find a chance to let you eat it without your knowledge, and you'll become a plump, white pig girl!"

"Once you become a big white pig ability user, I'm going to train you properly and make you a powerful pig girl!"

"You...you...you're getting revenge! Kuina, save me!"

When Nami saw Rocks' smile, she couldn't help but shudder and instinctively hid behind Kuina...

"Let Kuina save you? You don't know that Kuina is in cahoots with me, do you?"

"Waaah, you can't do this! You're forcing me, you're bullying me!"

"Hehehe, isn't this the one you picked, my idol!"

"Okay, okay, I apologize. I didn't mean what I said earlier. It's just that I'm too good-looking, so I was worried you wouldn't be able to resist temptation. This was a test, and now you've passed it!"

"...Hehehe, too good-looking? And this is a test? Interesting. Now my test for you is about to begin. I hope you can withstand it!"

"Guina, help me! Little Luo seems really angry!"

"..."

Looking at Nami's pitiful act, Kuina said she couldn't help her: "Sorry, I'm no match for Rocks, I can't save you, good luck."

Nami: "..."

Okay... seems like we've gone too far?

She had a premonition that her future might not be so easy...

Asia-Pacific!

She didn't want to live that kind of hard life.

She didn't want cultivation or anything like that at all!

"I admit my mistake, I really admit my mistake! Kind and handsome Xiao Luo, Rocks, Captain, I promise I will behave myself from now on and I won't dare to tease you anymore!"

"Heh, too late. Until you awaken your Observation Haki, I will continue to train you..."

Seeing Nami's desperate expression, Rocks made this decision!

Nami is living too comfortably.
