Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Zefa revealed a cold smile: "Let me see what kind of strength these young people really have."

"And let's avenge Dalitz as well. Those bastards are trembling with fear; pushing into the city is the best outcome for you..."

……

Around noon.

The mooring point at Arubana.

Looking at the slowly approaching three-masted sailing ship, Lockes asked Cobra in surprise, "This ship is going to be given to us?"

"That's right, this is my gift to you."

Cobra smiled.

He briefly described the ship: "It was made entirely of Takarazuka Adam, and it was my great-great-grandfather's ship..."

"The Treasure Tree Adam?"

Lockes' eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Your family is quite wealthy and generous."

He knew about the precious tree Adam.

Known for its exceptional toughness, it is a rare and expensive shipbuilding material found on the high seas.

The ships of rubber man Luffy, Roger, Whitebeard, and others are made from the treasure tree Adam.

Cobra actually said he wanted to give it to him?

How generous!

"Haha, the price of Adam's Treasure Tree is indeed quite high now, but the wood used to build this ship was not purchased from outside."

Cobra laughed and said, "It was left to us by our ancestors and didn't cost much in Berries."

"This ship is a gift to you gentlemen. It's just gathering dust here. Only in your hands can it realize its true value."

"Then I thank you for your generosity, King Cobra."

Rocks did not refuse.

Not only did the ship suit his taste perfectly, but Cobra was also a kind and righteous man.

Then I'll accept it!

Anyway, Rocks decided to get a new ship in the future.

The ship is quite ordinary now, and its facilities are not very complete.

He planned to wait until he arrived at Water Seven before changing to a better boat.

There's no need to consider that issue now.

Lox couldn't help but sigh again, "Good deeds are rewarded..."

Cobra waved his hand: "You're welcome."

……

With the help of soldiers from the Kingdom of Alabasta.

It took Lox and his men about half an hour to move the contents of the old ship.

Lockes then took his leave.

I don't want to linger here too long, lest something unexpected happens...

Will we have a chance to meet again?

Standing next to Cobra was a little blue-haired girl, none other than Vivi, the princess of the Alabasta Kingdom.

She looked up at Rocks with admiration in her eyes: "I want to be like an adult when I grow up, someone who punishes evil and promotes good!"

Vivi also admires Lox because of his help to Alabasta.

Being young, they held so-called "heroes" in high esteem...

"Yes, we should have a chance to meet again."

Rocks looked at the little girl.

He chuckled and patted her head: "As for learning from me, you don't need to. Although good deeds are rewarded, I would prefer you to be a powerful queen."

Rocks didn't want Vivi to become a hothead like the Rubber Sun God, otherwise the consequences would be dire...

Vivi nodded emphatically: "A powerful queen? I will try my best!"

"Keep going, you can do it!"

When Locke saw that Vivi had no intention of going to sea because of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't come here and "steal" someone else's daughter's heart; that would be too much.

After all, Cobra gave him such a generous gift...

Afterwards, the group bid each other farewell, and the unnamed ship set sail again, returning along the Santo Doe River...

on board.

Nami glanced around at the brand-new ship, and driven by her greedy nature, she asked, "Little Luo, how many Berries do you think this ship is worth?"

"Who knows?"

Lox hadn't really thought about that: "Anyway, the value won't be low."

"Adamium truncata is the most precious wood in the world. This ship is made entirely of Adamium truncata and is estimated to be worth around 300 million Berries."

Robin, however, knew a bit about it and said with a smile, "If you include the cost of manual construction, well... it'll probably be around 350 million Berries!"

"Stealing a young man!?"

Nami was shocked by the number.

His eyes instantly transformed into the shape of Pele: "This ship is actually worth 350 million Pele? That's almost equivalent to three Little Lori!"

Rocks's lips twitched: "..."

You're really good at math.

But why treat it as a unit of measurement?

"Three hundred and fifty million Berries? Hmm, King Cobra is quite generous. Good deeds are rewarded..."

Rocks remembered that the Straw Hat Pirates' Thousand Sunny Star was worth 200 million Berries just for its treasure tree, Adam.

This ship is a size larger than the Thousand Sunshine, and its value should be around 300 million Berries. Including the cost of labor and manufacturing, it should be around 350 million Berries.

I am once again deeply moved by the kindness and righteousness of the people in this world.

Deliver valuable "letters" related to Roger, deliver Devil Fruits, deliver a ship made from the treasure tree Adam...

"We've struck it rich! That's 350 million Berries!"

Nami was clearly still lost in her fantasy of striking it rich: "There are four of us on the ship. After splitting it, we each have 87.5 million Berries, which is more than Crocodile!"

Three people: "..."

"You're really good at math."

Lox said, half-laughing and half-crying, "You're going to split it up? Why don't you find a chance to kill me too? Then this ship, the supplies on board, and my bounty will all be yours."

"This price is worth more than a billion Berries!"

"Wow, so many!?"

Nami gasped, her eyes gleaming with Beryl's light: "Are we that rich already?"

Are they already that rich on board?

She used to work hard to sell oranges and snatch seafood, earning tens of millions of dollars.

How long has she been at sea?

So he's already a millionaire?

Going to sea was definitely the right decision!

"To correct you on one thing, it's not us, it's me."

Rocks glanced at Nami: "Since when did you start thinking that the Berries on the ship had anything to do with you?"

"I'm just letting you manage the money, it doesn't mean the money is yours."

"No! I overlooked something!"

Nami realized something and stared at Rocks with wide eyes: "Speaking of which, you haven't paid me, the strongest navigator, yet, have you?"

Lockes looked puzzled: "What salary? You don't get a salary!"

"Huh? No? You actually said no!?"

Upon hearing Rocks' reply, Nami immediately exploded.

Her face flushed red, and she shouted, "How could there not be! Navigators charge very high prices!"

"An experienced navigator can earn at least several million Berries on a single voyage, and you're telling me you haven't?!"

"You still want your wages?"

Lockes thought for a moment.

She felt she couldn't mistreat her own navigator.

So he decided to pay Nami a salary, and with a wave of his hand, he generously said, "Alright then, I'll give you 100,000 Berries a month, that's quite a lot, isn't it?"

"100,000 Berries a month?"

Nami's face darkened, and she said with a forced smile, "Hehehe, I was forced to draw nautical charts for Arlong in the Sea of ​​Gold for more than this..."

"Nami, Nami, one should never be too greedy!"

Rocks said sternly, "100,000 Berries a month is already a lot. Ten months is a million, a year is ten million, and ten years is a hundred million. You should know how to be content!"

Three people: "..."

Captain, you can do math too...

"One hundred thousand is too little!"

"That's quite a lot!"

Rocks and Nami started negotiating about their wages, but ultimately parted ways without reaching a conclusion.

Rocks used his veto power as captain to severely suppress Nami.

Nami was incredibly emotional, but unfortunately, she couldn't defeat Rocks...

Seeing that the two had stopped "negotiating," Robin asked a question instead: "What's the name of this ship?"

"Nami is the best!"

"Uh... Swordmaster?"

Nami offered her opinion to Kuina, but Rocks rejected it outright, saying it didn't sound good.

Robin suggested the somewhat abstract name "Black Pearl Maru," and it's unclear where she got the inspiration from...

It was also rejected by Lox.

"Hmm, let's call it Black Demon."

Rocks counted on his fingers and looked at the three women, asking for their opinions: "I am a Blackwing Demon Fruit user, so I will name myself after my ability."

"How about we call our adventure group the Blackwing Demon Adventure Group?"

A good ship deserves a good name.

Whose ship doesn't have a name?

When in Rome, do as the Romans do!

Even after all this time, their adventure group still doesn't have a distinctive name.

It's still necessary to have a reputation in public...

Then let's name it based on our own abilities.

Lox is terrible at naming things; this is the only one I could think of.
