Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

"Oh? This guy did all that? Well, no wonder he dares to carry that name."

Charlotte Linlin was surprised and then burst into laughter: "He's got some of that guy's imposing presence now!"

"However, this level of strength is far from sufficient to bear the name!"

"Well, well, let's keep an eye on him. I want to see just how far this guy can go..."

For many people.

The achievements of "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks are already enough to make people take notice and feel awe.

But for her, one of the Four Emperors, this was nothing more than a minor skirmish.

Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

He's just a good-for-nothing whose will and beliefs were shattered by Whitebeard, and who slunk off to the amusement park to show off!

Former Navy Admiral "Black Wrist" Zephyr?

He's just a useless guy whose arm was cut off by some unknown guy and who's so weak from illness that he's not worth paying too much attention to!

The black-haired swordsman's achievements are not enough to live up to the name "Rocks".

They should at least kill one Navy Admiral.

That's what Rocks did back then...

……

The New World and the Land of War.

On Ghost Island.

'Boom boom boom...'

The entire ghost island was shaking incessantly, as if some monster was rampaging across it, putting the buildings on the island at risk of collapsing...

"Wow, look what I've seen! There's a Rocks in the newspaper!"

A loud laugh came from the mouth of a burly man with long black hair and demon horns on his head.

Perhaps due to emotional agitation, he slammed the spiked club into the ground.

The tremors on Oni Island were caused by his actions...

Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, stared intently at the bounty poster and the newspaper, his laughter growing louder and louder as he looked: "This newspaper is so interesting, and the bounty poster is interesting too!"

"A name that was erased has somehow resurfaced in the newspapers and spread throughout the world. Tell me... what exactly are those guys from the World Government and the Navy trying to do?"

What do the world government and navy want to do?

That name had been erased, but now it has reappeared.

Although they are not the same person, there are many intriguing aspects to them.

"Perhaps it's to attract the attention of people who know the name? Only those who know the name will pay attention to it..."

Next to him, Flame, one of the three calamities of the Beast Pirates, casually placed down a newspaper and a bounty.

He said calmly, "Trying to use someone else to do your dirty work? Want to see how many people still remember this name?"

"Oh ho ho, that's possible."

"Just hearing this name makes me eager to try it out and see the strength of this black-haired swordsman who dares to bear this name."

Kaido picked up the gourd and took a sip.

He casually wiped the corner of his mouth, a wicked grin spreading across his arrogant face: "Let's leave Crocodile aside for now, but Zephyr is an old man not to be underestimated."

"Even if he is weakened, he should not fight a newcomer to the point of mutual destruction. This alone is enough to show that the strength of that 'Black-haired Swordsman' Rocks is probably not weak!"

"Perhaps, but Zephyr's strength has probably declined more than we thought."

Yan Zaiyan calmly said, "Previously, the opponent was defeated by an unknown figure and had one of his arms severed; now he has fought a newcomer who has just entered the world of martial arts, resulting in both of them being injured..."

"The amount of 450 million Berries might give us a clue: this black-haired swordsman is at most just a newcomer with some potential."

He did not deny the strength of Zephyr in the past.

However, Zefa is not taken seriously by him these days.

The other party had his arm severed before, and this time he and a newcomer both suffered injuries.

The naval admirals who once commanded respect across the seas with their very names have now become almost irrelevant...

"No, you're wrong!"

Kaido rejected Yan Zaiyan's opinion.

He stared at Zefa's figure in the photo and grinned, "That old guy may have declined in strength, but he can't possibly have become a complete cripple!"

"The strong one is this black-haired swordsman, this Rocks!"

"Wow, this is so much fun!"

Kaido took another sip of his drink and grinned, "A name like Rocks, and a newcomer with such strong abilities, really piques my curiosity."

"Have someone keep an eye on them, and notify me as soon as they enter the new world!"

Because of his name and his potential, Kaido developed a fondness for Rocks.

He wanted to recruit the other party to join Beast World.

The idea of ​​a man named Lox joining his Beast Pirates is intriguing.

It can satisfy his inner perverse pleasures!

"Ah."

The blazing inferno seemed to have been expected, and was not surprising at all.

He paused, then brought up another matter: "The newspapers not only reported on the black-haired swordsman, but also on Hanafza; he was defeated too..."

Upon hearing this, Kaido frowned: "Hmm? That lizard also lost? Who did it?"

"Another newcomer, also famous in Loguetown, ate the Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit), and is now 'Fire Fist' Portgas D. Ace with a bounty of 250 million Berries..."

"..."

Kaido narrowed his eyes, then asked, "Loguetown again, and people from the East Blue again?"

Yan Zaiyan nodded: "According to the information, both the black-haired swordsman and the fire fist are indeed from the East Blue."

"Keep an eye on 'Fire Fist' Ace as well."

Kaido took a sip of his drink and continued, "Also, send someone to look for that lizard. Hopefully, his defeat won't cause any problems with our plan to collect the Zoan-type Devil Fruits..."

In order to expand his power, Kaido launched the plan to form the "Beast Legion".

And the "Tyrant Dragon" Hanafuda... or rather, the "Lizard King" Hanafza, was a crucial part of his plan.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are a legitimate group of sea creatures.

They can legally plunder without being targeted by the world government or navy...

……

Navy Headquarters.

Marineford.

Marshal's Office...

"Damn it! Where did that bastard get his information? He even published Zephyr's story in the newspaper!"

Sengoku held a brand-new newspaper in his hand, his face so gloomy it seemed like it was about to drip water.

"Won't this make my target of 450 million Berries a joke? The Navy's prestige will plummet!"

The Warring States period was furious.

I wish I could tear that birdman Morgons to pieces.

The reason he set a price of 450 million Berries for Rocks was to bury the Zefa affair.

The former admiral was also a naval admiral, and was once the highest combat force in the navy.

The other party represents the face and authority of the Navy.

As the face of the Navy and a veteran powerhouse, he fought to a draw against a newcomer.

This is not a glorious thing in itself.

This will damage the Navy's prestige and embolden criminals...

That's why he decided to cover up the news.

Anyway, not many people know about that battle, so it can be covered up.

I just didn't expect... that guy Morgons actually had this information?

Furthermore, without notifying them, they disseminated the news through the newspapers without authorization...

How could this not enrage the Warring States period?

"Hahaha, that birdman is quite capable, and he's got guts too!"

Seeing Sengoku's furious outburst, Garp laughed heartlessly, "Are you willing to risk offending the World Government and the Navy to spread this message?"

"Have you laughed enough?"

Sengoku, already furious, turned even darker upon hearing Garp's laughter.

Doesn't this guy know what's going on?

Are you still laughing here?

He... or rather the entire navy, will definitely become a laughing stock for many people at sea as this wanted poster and this newspaper spread...

Anyone with eyes can see that the black-haired swordsman's achievements are completely incomparable to his bounty...

If it's just becoming a laughing stock, that's a minor matter.

The key point is that the Navy's prestige will definitely be damaged, and the arrogance of the criminal "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks will become even greater.

As the naval admiral, he needed to consider the public opinion and impact on the high seas afterward...

I want to curse whenever I think about the Warring States period!

"There's nothing we can do now. Let's think about how to handle this matter. Both the lower and upper levels need you, as the Navy Admiral, to resolve them."

Karp shrugs his shoulders.

He wasn't unaware of the situation; he was just too lazy to think about it.

Anyway, he's just a lieutenant general; he doesn't need to deal with such troublesome matters...

Sengoku: "..."

I really want to beat this gossiping guy up!

“When Zefa contacted me yesterday, he happened to mention something.”

Taking a deep breath, Sengoku suppressed the urge to attack and stared at Garp, asking, "He said that the 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks' attacks had echoes of your Iron Fist..."

"Does that guy have something to do with you?"

"Is there a trace of my iron fist in your attack?"

Garp paused for a moment while picking his nose.

She quickly shook her head in denial: "What relationship do I have with that kid? I only met him once in Donghai."

"We thought he was a promising talent and wanted to recruit him to headquarters as a naval officer."

"But that kid disagreed, so I decided to take a hard line. Adhering to the principle of not bullying the weak, I decided to throw three punches..."

"Hahaha, in the end, that kid blocked three of my punches, so I let him go!"

"If I had known this kid would cause such a commotion, I definitely wouldn't have let him off the hook. Even if I had to break his arms and legs, I would have brought him back to headquarters..."

To be honest, Garp is now having some regrets.

We shouldn't have let that kid get away back then.

Even if it means swallowing my pride and agreeing to the three-punch deal, I absolutely must bring that kid back to Naval Headquarters...

He underestimated the kid's talent.
