Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

If it weren't for the other person, how could he have ended up in this situation?

He had to be extremely careful in everything he did on the Grand Line.

He was afraid of offending people he couldn't afford to offend.

That was a life of constant fear and trepidation, nothing compared to the comfort of the East China Sea.

It's all that damned Rocks' fault.

But because the opponent's strength was too terrifying, he didn't even have the courage to retaliate...

"Forget it, let's look on the bright side. There are even more treasures on the Grand Line. As long as I can dig up some treasure, I can find a place to hide and live a carefree life!"

Bucky is a very optimistic person.

Venturing into the Grand Line wasn't without its benefits; the ocean held even more treasures, and treasure hunting was one of his greatest passions...

"Let's go, boys, to the next treasure hunt location!"

Bucky just happened to get his hands on a treasure map and wants to dig it up.

He shouted to his men, "Does anyone know where Asca Island is located, as marked on the treasure map?"

The treasure map he obtained by chance recorded that on a beautiful island called Asuka on the Grand Line, there was a legendary treasure that had been passed down for thousands of years...

This undoubtedly touched a nerve with Bucky.

So Bucky decided to go to Asca Island to see what the legendary treasure that had been passed down for thousands of years was...

……

New world.

Whitebeard's Territory, aboard the Moby Dick.

"Gurala, are the newcomers this strong these days?"

A hearty laugh echoed across the deck.

Edward Newgate, one of the Four Emperors and known as "The Strongest Man," took a sip of his drink.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, he grinned and said, "Even that old man Zefa couldn't take him down?"

"Could it be that the old guy has weakened to the point where he doesn't even have the strength to fight someone?"

After teasing Zephyr for a while, Whitebeard picked up the wanted poster that came with the newspaper.

Looking at the wanted poster, and the name on it, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks? Rocks...

"Some of these are very old names..."

"Gurarara, are there still people who dare to roam the seas with this name? They've got guts!"

Whitebeard, who was once a member of the Locusts F, always kept that name in his heart.

The man's strength and charisma still make him feel intimidated when he thinks back on them.

That was an opponent he dared not say he could defeat even at his peak.

Now that someone has reappeared on the high seas under this name, Whitebeard has naturally attracted more attention...

"What's wrong, Dad?"

Marco, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' F1 Division, "Phoenix," heard his father's laughter.

Out of curiosity, they walked over here: "What interesting thing has happened this time?"

"Take a look for yourself."

The white-bearded man handed the newspaper to Marco, took another sip of his drink, and remarked with admiration, "A remarkable and courageous fellow has appeared on the high seas!"

Chapter 107 The Name "Lox"! The Warring States Period Where You Want to Curse Your Mother...

"The Black-Haired Swordsman Rocks? With a bounty of 450 million Berries?"

Marco was slightly surprised when he saw the wanted poster at first glance.

Looking at the newspaper report, Marco raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly: "That sand crocodile is dead? Hmm? It suffered heavy losses in its battle with Zephyr!?"

Black-haired swordsman...

After thinking for a moment, he remembered the name.

The newlyweds who caused a great stir in Luoge Town, Donghai.

The first bounty was set at 130 million Berries.

Unexpectedly, not long after that, the other party did another world-shaking event.

That's Zephyr!

At the same time, Marco was also confused: "Wait, how come it's only 450 million Berries?"

Is someone who can fight Zefa only worth 450 million Berries?

What's going on here?

"What? The crocodile died? What? Both sides suffered heavy losses?"

"What major events happened in this issue of the newspaper? Have any new talents emerged?"

"Let me see what happened!"

The other squad leaders, who had been drawn by the white-bearded man's laughter, became interested after hearing Marco's words and gathered around to read the newspaper...

Upon seeing this, they were all surprised, and their expressions changed.

"The 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks? I'm actually quite interested in this newcomer who's called a swordsman..."

Upon seeing the bounty poster, even the Fifth Division Captain, "Flower Sword" Vista, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment: "I never imagined he would do something so sensational!"

As a swordsman, he also pays close attention to masters of the sword.

I had been following this newcomer, the Black-Haired Swordsman, before.

I never expected them to make such a sensational move so quickly!

"What an amazing guy. It's just that the bounty is a bit off. After doing something so sensational, doubling the bounty would be more than enough, right?"

The Third Division Captain, "Diamond" Joz, also sounded puzzled.

Is this reward amount correct?

Then, staring at the name "Lox," he suddenly paused, frowning slightly as he pondered: "But the name Lox... why does it feel so familiar..."

"..."

Among the gathered crowd, a chubby, toothless man with a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile stared intently at the wanted poster without anyone noticing.

No, to be precise, he was looking at the name on the bounty poster.

Rocks...

This name has a special meaning for him!

“Lox... I remember now!”

What did Saki, the captain of the Fourth Division, think of?

He asked in surprise, "Didn't Dad tell us about some of his experiences? The Rocks Pirates that were wiped out by Roger and Garp..."

"No wonder it felt so familiar!"

"Dad used to be a member of Rocks Exotic Marbles, right? The Golden Lion, Beast, and Big Mom were all members of Rocks Exotic Marbles!"

"Hiss, this name should have been erased by the World Government, right? I can't believe I'm seeing it again!"

"Please, this isn't the same thing..."

After Sachi's reminder, some of the people present also remembered.

Their father would occasionally tell them stories from the past, and they learned quite a bit about it...

This includes the case of Lox Ocean Freight Forward!

"Gurararara, I remember mentioning this to you guys a long time ago, right? I didn't expect you all to still remember..."

The white-bearded man took a big gulp of wine and laughed loudly, "Lox is indeed a man worthy of respect."

"Now that name is famous throughout the seas again, the seas are likely to become even more interesting, and those two guys will definitely be very interested..."

Rocks...

Even just a name would definitely attract the attention of the other two.

This sea might be about to get lively!

As he pondered these things, the white-bearded man's gaze also fell upon another wanted poster.

He murmured to himself, 'Fire Fist Portgas D. Ace, Ace... and that somewhat familiar face, could it be...?'

Whitebeard suddenly remembered a conversation he had with Roger...

That was the last time Roger met him, and Roger told him a lot of things.

It's very likely that he drank too much.

Roger once asked him, somewhat vaguely, what it felt like to be a father…

Because it was the last time she met Roger, the last time she spoke to him.

Whitebeard still vividly remembered Roger's words and expression from that time...

……

"What the heck, Rocks! Rocks!? This name is actually appearing in the newspapers again?"

New World Cake Island.

This is the headquarters of Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors.

Dark clouds loomed over the castle, lightning flashed and thunder roared, streaks of lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating the entire island.

The cake castle, which was originally somewhat "cute," now resembles a witch's lair in this setting.

The sky rumbled with muffled thunder, but it couldn't drown out a loud laugh that shook the eardrums: "Interesting, very interesting!"

Inside the castle, on the throne.

A tall, overweight woman with exaggerated makeup, wearing a dress and pink hair, is holding a newspaper and a wanted poster.

The sound came from her mouth.

Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Great Queens!

"Investigate! Investigate everything about this 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks!"

Charlotte Linlin looked down and exclaimed, her eyes wide with anger: "I'd like to see just what kind of person dares to use the name 'Lox'!"

The name alone was enough to pique the interest of this Yonko.

There is no other reason.

This name had left a very deep impression on her.

She had once been defeated by that name and forced to become one of their crew members!

This Lox Pirox?

Whatever!

She was just curious!

"Mom, there are some records about this 'Black-haired Swordsman' Rocks in the newspapers, both past and present."

Charlotte Perospero, the Minister of Candy and Charlotte Linlin's eldest son, quickly explained to his mother:

"He caused a huge stir in Loguetown and was given a bounty of 130 million Berries in his first attempt, earning him the title of 'most ferocious rookie'."

"Now this newspaper also mentions what they did..."

"He killed Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and fought a battle with former Marine Admiral 'Black Arm' Zephyr, resulting in both of them being severely injured..."

He had read the newspaper and was surprised by its contents.

A newcomer who has only recently embarked on the Grand Line has already achieved such an incredible record; it's hard not to pay attention...
