I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 38 Lipri, you don’t want to do odd jobs on the ship instead of Rocks, do you?

Although he had long anticipated that pirates might attack after Monger and Lipri left, after all, he was the only one on the Black Pearl.

But Rocks didn't expect that the people who attacked him were a group of teenagers who looked younger than him.

"Hey, do you know what you're doing?"

After easily dodging the attack of the young man named Newgate, Rocks turned his head to look at the others who were rushing into the cabin.

"If you destroy the boat, the old man will give me trouble."

"so."

"Let's fight quickly!"

As he spoke, Rocks raised his hand and caught the boy's fist.

"How can it be!?"

The boy's eyes widened. It was the first time he saw someone his age catch his fist.

Although the young man in front of him looked older than him, he was only just an adult. In terms of body size, he had the advantage.

The fourteen-year-old Newgate was nearly four meters tall, and compared to Rocks, who was less than two meters tall, he was like a giant.

But even with the advantage of being twice as tall, Newgate was unable to defeat Rocks in a contest of strength.

"Haha, in this ocean, size doesn't mean anything."

Seeing the shock on Newgate's face, Lockes showed a smile as bright as the sun for the first time.

It’s really not easy!
As soon as he went out to sea, he met the great pirate Monger. He spent more than half of the year in Elbaf, the country of giants. The "peers" around him were all children of the giant tribe, and there were also freaks with special physiques like Charlotte Linlin.

If Monger hadn't recognized him, he would have doubted whether he had the talent for fighting.

Now it’s real.

"Although I can't beat that stinky old man or Lipri, I'm more than capable of bullying a brat like you."

Rocks had a huge smile on his face.

"Point gun!"

Concentrating all his strength on his fingers, Rocks knocked Newgate away with just one blow, then looked at the remaining boys.

"Didn't your parents tell you that if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price?"

shave!
In an instant, he appeared in front of the other four or five teenagers. Rocks kicked them one by one and knocked them all down without much effort.

"Guido! Piqué! Ba!"

Seeing his companions being knocked down one by one, the big boy Newgate's eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth, stood up again, and rushed towards Rocks.

"Hey, you can actually stand up?"

Rocks had already seen that although the young man in front of him had brute strength, he had not received any professional training, just like him a year ago.

If it were him a year ago, it might be difficult for him to defeat the opponent.

but now.

He is more than ten times stronger than before!
However, just when Rocks focused his attention on Newgate, he did not notice that on another pirate ship not far away, a pirate raised his flintlock rifle.

boom!
The round bullet shot out from the muzzle and flew towards Lockes. Lockes, who was facing Newgate, suddenly felt a palpitation.

"Get out of the way!"

Newgate punched Rocks in the face, but Rocks did not dodge. He grabbed Newgate and both fell to the ground.

Whoosh!
The bullet grazed Lockes' scalp and also scratched Newgate's shoulder, and like a cannonball, it smashed a big hole in the deck of the Black Pearl.

"so close!"

Lying on the ground, Rocks looked at the big hole in the floor with lingering fear. If he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.

At this time, Newgate realized that the young man in front of him had actually saved him.

If Rocks hadn't caught him just now and had dodged directly, the bullet would have hit him.

"Why did you save me?"

"Humph, who wants to save you? I just can't stand those insidious villains who like to attack from behind. Also, get off me quickly!"

Pushing Newgate open with great effort, Lockes looked towards the distance.

Several figures fell from the air.

"Tsk, he actually dodged it?" The leading man holding a flintlock rifle looked dissatisfied. He had thought he could easily deal with Rocks.

Seeing the man's face, Newgate tensed up immediately. He lowered his voice and said, "It's Vulture Vic. He's a pirate with a bounty of over 30 million berries. We can't be his match!"

A bounty of 30 million?
Rocks actually never had a clear concept of the pirates active in this sea. After all, Monger always talked about pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million. Pirates with bounties of less than 100 million did not seem to be big names.

Moreover, although he could sense a bit of danger from the other party, it was far less than that from Monger or even Lipri.

Can handle it!
Rocks thought to himself.

Port town.

Although it was three or four streets away, Munger discovered it as early as when Rocks and Newgate started fighting.

But the ones who took action were a group of children, so Monger didn't even think of looking back.

It wasn't until Vulture Vic showed up that Monger showed any interest.

"It seems that because of those pirates who pretended to be us, the flag on our ship is not very effective. Anyone can come and get close to us."

When Monger left, among the several slightly stronger auras he sensed with his observation Haki, one belonged to the Vulture Vic in front of him.

However, this slightly stronger strength is only relative to Rocks.

As long as the bounty doesn't exceed 100 million, it's just that.

"Are we going back?"

Noticing Monger's gaze and guessing what might have happened on the ship, Lipri asked.

"Need not."

Monger smiled.

"Rocks is about to master Haki. That pirate's strength is almost the same as Rocks. Taking this opportunity, Rocks might be able to master both Armament Haki and Observation Haki in one fell swoop."

Rocks’ strength has long been enough for him to use his domineering power. All he lacked was an opportunity. If the enemy was strong, Monger would definitely turn back.

But their strength is similar, and Monger believes that Rocks can handle it.

"But you, you've almost mastered Armament Haki, so why haven't you realized Observation Haki yet?"

"There's nothing I can do about this kind of thing!"

Lipri stuck out her tongue. "Most giants are slow. The speed at which I mastered Haki is considered fast."

Although Lipri defeated CP0, a pirate with over 100 million members, by using a sneak attack, Lipri's strength would definitely be inferior in a head-on fight.

The biggest difference is in the mastery of dominance.

"If you don't work harder, it won't be long before Rocks surpasses you. Lipri, you don't want to do odd jobs on the ship instead of Rocks, do you?"

"But, no, that's not possible!"

Lipri thought about it, and suddenly her eyes rolled. "How about, Captain, can you find a way to give me some special treatment? I don't want to be demoted to a trainee just after joining the crew for so long!"

Lipri came up, hugged Monger's arm, and looked at Monger with a pitiful look.

"Fool!"

Monger hit Lipri on the head without mercy.

"If there's a shortcut to this kind of thing, then why bother practicing?"

"it hurts!"

Seeing that Monger was unmoved, Lipri pouted in dissatisfaction.

"You old bastard, you deserve to be single forever."

"Ok?"

"Nothing at all!"

Lipri giggled and was about to move forward when she found someone blocking their way.

"You are the White Wolf Pirates, right?"

A group of pirates looked at Monger and Lipri with amused expressions.
