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

Chapter 149: The Seven Warlords System Appears Ahead of Schedule!

On the deck of the Millennium Falcon, when he had nothing to do, Munger liked to fish, partly to pass the time and partly to replenish the increasingly depleted warehouse with some fresh ingredients.

"Old man, I'm leaving the White Wolf Pirates!"

"Oh why?"

Monger was not surprised by Lox's arrival.

Just as Lox came directly to him.

Instead of choosing to sneak away.

"Because I want to become stronger!"

Rocks' gaze was solemn and sharp. In just over a month, his injuries had almost completely healed. Even his damaged eardrums were gradually recovering as he gained a deeper understanding of the Six Powers Secret Technique—Life Return.

Although he lost to the members of the Knights of God, Rocks did not come away empty-handed.

The awakening of Conqueror's Haki.

The realization of returning life.

All of this demonstrates that the previous battles were not meaningless.

But Lockes was not satisfied.

If you lose, you lose.

If it weren't for Monger, if he were alone, he would never have had the chance to enjoy this opportunity to grow; death would have been his only destination.

He never forgot his ideals.

But in reality, he became increasingly dependent on Munger, less courageous than before, and lacked the initial drive and pioneering spirit.

"If I stay by your side, I'll stagnate like Liprit!"

"Kid, you really dare to say that!"

Munger smashed the bottle on Lox’s head, but he wasn’t angry at Lox’s words.

"Lipriy is indeed too comfortable."

But what can be done? Hasn't Lipriy gotten stronger? From the very first time we met until now, Lipriy has become countless times stronger.

Are there many pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million on this sea?

Some people are satisfied, while others are not.

"Sometimes, blind trust is not necessarily a good thing."

Monger smiled but didn't say anything more.

However, Lox said what Munger hadn't finished saying.

"Because Lipley is a woman."

Lox sat down next to Monger and pursed his lips.

"Although you keep saying that you will not discriminate against the crew, you will definitely discriminate between men and women."

If Rox had ever heard of the word "munger," he would know that Munger was a typical male chauvinist whose so-called respect for women was only to a limited extent; at its core, he was still self-centered.

"That's arrogance!"

"of course."

Monger did not deny it.

"So I've always wondered why I couldn't awaken Conqueror's Haki. Is it because of some so-called talent?"

If we're talking about arrogance, even the Celestial Dragons might not be as arrogant as Munger.

This is the pride of a visionary.

Perhaps it was because, as a time traveler, Munger subconsciously looked down on these natives and believed that he should be the protagonist of the world.

In short, because of this mentality, Munger had been beaten quite a few times in the past.

Even after the system was developed.

It took Munger a long time to change his mindset.

"Conqueror's Haki is the power of the heart."

"It is the power of having enough strength and knowledge, yet still believing in yourself and refusing to submit to anything."

"So, after seeing you awaken Conqueror's Haki."

Monger glanced at Lox, showing no surprise whatsoever.

I knew you would leave.

When a person submits to another, their Conqueror's Haki will stagnate, and even the most talented person will stop growing.

There are quite a few admirals in the Navy who possess Conqueror's Haki.

But in the end, they were able to fully realize their talents.

But there are very few.

That's how it is.

Lorna was the same way.

There is no way to transcend the cage without breaking it.

Sora and Rona's prison is the Navy, the World Government. Rocks' prison is...

It's him!

Therefore, leaving the White Wolf Gang is only the first step.

If Rocks wanted to surpass him, he had to rebel against him, by any means necessary, and finally defeat him!

"I agreed."

Monger's tone was flat, just as Lockes had expected.

"This is the first and only time."

Lox looked at Monger, released the fishing rod in his hand, and then knelt down in front of Monger.

Kneel.

"I will never forget your teachings, nor will I forget your kindness over the years."

Rocks admitted that he had gained a lot from the White Wolf Pirates, but none of it was what he wanted.

He has always wanted far more than he has now.

He is very greedy.

He is far more greedy than others imagine.

But he was also afraid, because he knew that Munger was also a greedy man.

The more he received from Munger, the more he gained.

Then in the future, he will need to repay more and more to Munger.

"I'm giving you twenty years. Twenty years to become stronger, stronger than me. If you can't do it, then come back here obediently."

Monger looked at Lox.

Four years had passed since he first met Rocks.

In just four short years.

Rocks went from a rookie pirate who was not much stronger than an ordinary person to a great pirate with a bounty of nearly 100 million Berries.

Rocks' actual strength even surpassed that of ordinary great pirates.

Twenty years.

That is, when Rocks was forty-five years old.

This will be the peak of Rocks' physique, dominance, and skill.

Monger allowed him to challenge himself again at this time!
"unnecessary!"

Lox's words were resounding.

"In five years, I will become countless times stronger than I am now!"

Indeed, if it were twenty years from now, then Rocks would have reached his theoretical peak, and at that time in the future, he might even dare to challenge the world.

But Lockes could not accept it.

He himself could not accept such charity!

"Who knows if you'll still be alive twenty years from now? I'm going to defeat you in your prime, not when you're on your deathbed!"

Locke's words made Munger burst out laughing.

"Pfft, hahaha, you brat, who do you think I am?"

"Don't forget, I have pure gold!"

"Even without pure gold, why do you think I'm getting younger and younger?"

Monger looked at Lox and scoffed.

"However, since you dare to make such a boast, I'll give you a chance. Ten years, I'll give you ten years!"

To be honest, it's not that Monger looks down on Lox.

Given the current state of the ocean, it will be difficult for Locke to find suitable opponents; the overall environment is much worse than it will be in the future.

Why are there so few strong people in this era?

Isn't it because of working in isolation?

Under the strong suppression of the Navy, very few pirates in the New World have a fixed force, and most pirates spend 90% of their time wandering at sea.

In this situation, a good captain like Munger, who is willing to lead his crew to cause trouble for the navy and give his crew opportunities to train, is hard to find even with a lantern.

After a few years, Rocks couldn't find any opportunities to fight strong opponents. When he returned, he found that everyone else had become stronger.

However, this situation is unlikely to occur.

March 1463 in the Haiyuan calendar.

When the Millennium Falcon arrived at the Sphinx with a group of slaves.

A piece of news has once again shocked the world.

Following the turmoil in the Sabaody Archipelago and the attack on the Holy Land Mary Geoise, numerous World Government officials impeached the Navy for its inaction.

As a result, a new system was established.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea system!
