"Fang Huo, what are you looking at over there? That's the East Blue. Is there some powerhouse in the East Blue?"
Rocks' eyes lit up, sensing that Fang Huo was hiding some intelligence from him.
"I heard there's a member of the D Clan in the East Blue who became a Marine. That guy is very powerful! He will be one of your enemies in the future."
"Forget it, let's head to the New World for now!"
"Recruit your future subordinates in the New World and West Blue!"
Fang Huo had no plans to go to Sky Island to find the Rumble-Rumble Fruit for the time being. After all, Rocks wouldn't let him continue wasting time solely for his own benefit.
It was better to let Rocks see some profit and benefits first.
Moreover, besides the seven star demon sword, which had a clear location, there was also the Mythical Zoan Type Vampire Fruit on Sleepy Old Island.
These were all Fang Huo's goals!
He wanted to stay young forever!
Even Captain John's Magnet-Magnet Fruit ability was his goal.
He'd have to find an opportunity and a reason to kill him when the time came!
If he couldn't get the Rumble-Rumble Fruit for now, the Magnet-Magnet Fruit ability would do.
"D Clan, Marine, future enemy?"
Seeing Fang Huo's serious expression, Rocks also frowned.
Why would a member of the D Clan go and be a dog for the Celestial Dragons?
Did he have a fierce battle with this D Clan Marine?
"Forget it, forget it, why think so much!!"
"Go, go, go! Let's make the Rocks Pirates appear sooner!"
"I can serve as the first mate and help you give these unruly Executives some proper guidance, leading them toward the same goal."
Fang Huo licked his lips, full of ambition. If it were a united Rocks Pirates, he wondered if they could take down Imu.
Just thinking about it was a bit exciting!
Also, once the Roger Pirates formed, Fang Huo would specifically take Rocks to snatch the Roger Pirates' crew members.
Even Roger himself would be forcibly snatched onto the ship.
Regardless of whether they were truly convinced or not, he would snatch them first and talk later.
Rayleigh, Jabba—he'd snatch them all.
As for the timeline and future butterfly effects, Fang Huo didn't give a damn; if it got messy, so be it.
---"A weakling like you wants to be the first mate? Awaken your Three Types of Haki first!"
Rocks slapped Fang Huo's shoulder, causing Fang Huo's face to instantly twist in pain.
This reckless brute had no sense of sportsmanship at all.
"I was originally going to tell you some intelligence about the Giant Kingdom and the Red Poneglyphss."
"But that slap of yours has wounded my fiery red heart!"
Fang Huo activated his Gravity Ability and quickly flew up to the mast. Looking at the blood-red handprint on his shoulder, he immediately began to curse.
"worororo, don't be so stingy, Fang Huo. I'm just reminding you of the importance of physical constitution and the Three Types of Haki."
"Don't always think about playing with bugs and snatching Devil Fruit abilities!"
Rocks laughed loudly, as if he had heard some more important intelligence.
He knew the secret of the Red Poneglyphss, but he didn't know where these things were scattered throughout the world.
Could Fang Huo have also foreseen the locations of these Red Poneglyphss?
Red Poneglyphss, the three ancient weapons... The more Rocks thought about it, the more excited he became.
This guy Fang Huo was truly a treasure!
In that case, whoever Fang Huo wanted to kill to seize their Devil Fruit ability, he would just let him be.
"There's a Red Poneglyphs and a Letter of Apology from Joy Boy on Fish-Man Island. When we enter the New World, we should take a stroll through Fish-Man Island."
"Also, among your future subordinates, there's a Catfish Fishman named Babel. We can recruit him in advance!"
Fang Huo spoke irritably. These past few days, Rocks had indeed been doing his best to help him increase his strength.
Of course, Rocks was also afraid that a weakling prophet like Fang Huo would be killed by someone else in the future.
"worororo! Red Poneglyphss? A Catfish Fishman? Looks like my second Executive is about to come aboard."
Rocks raised his eyebrows and laughed; his plans were all getting on the right track.
"What a pain. If my Observation Haki isn't strong enough, I won't be able to sense Space Meteors and pull them down at all."
Fang Huo also really wanted to awaken the Three Types of Haki, but his physical enhancement was countless times slower than his soul enhancement.
'I've heard it only takes seven years for a person to replace all the cells in their body. I wonder if it's true.'
'If I live in this world for seven years, will my new cells fully possess the power of this world?'
Fang Huo had lived in this world for two or three years, and his constitution was indeed getting stronger, but it was still a bit far from reaching the monstrous constitution of this world.
"Gravity Gu, start with 5 times gravity."
Fang Huo had now begun to use gravity for training.
Thinking about the monster Executives who were about to board the ship, he had to become stronger.
Otherwise, he could be accidentally injured or killed by those nasty fellows at any moment.
For guys like Golden Lion Shiki, throwing bombs as a joke was a common occurrence.
If he couldn't even block a bomb, what right would he have to be a high-ranking Executive?
Most importantly, Imu, that thousand-year-old undying geezer, was practically like a cheater.
Possessing teleportation, possession, immortality, enslavement transformation... all sorts of Devil Fruit abilities, as well as powerful Haoshoku.
Even if Rocks, Roger, Garp, Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Beast Kaido teamed up, they couldn't kill him.
This kind of big boss was too terrifying.
Fang Huo had to become stronger as quickly as possible; at the very least, he needed the strongest strategic retreat capability.
---"Hey, Fang Huo, you already have two Paramecia Type abilities, and you still want the Magnet-Magnet Fruit ability?"
"Your constitution isn't good enough."
"I suggest you get a Mythical Zoan ability first!"
Rocks looked at Fang Huo, who was training hard using gravity, and finally gave a suggestion.
"Captain, you're so smart. After we enter the New World, accompany me to find a Mythical Zoan fruit!"
Fang Huo immediately followed Rocks' lead.
He had his eye on the Magnet-Magnet Fruit ability, but his next ability was already set to be the Mythical Zoan Vampire Ability.
After all, Shui Gu Town was in the first half of the New World!
"You bastard, taking advantage of me again, always thinking about your own affairs?"
"Fine, fine, I'll help you one more time!"
"However, you'd better hide your bugs, otherwise I'm afraid you'll be killed."
Rocks spoke irritably. This brat Fang Huo was truly impolite, always seeking benefits for himself—first the Shichiseiken, and now a Mythical Zoan fruit.
But considering Fang Huo's weakling constitution, for Fang Huo's safety, Rocks still planned to help him find a Mythical Zoan ability first to protect his life.
"Hehe, thanks, Captain Rocks."
"I will definitely work hard to help you turn the World Government upside down!"
Fang Huo grinned. His reason for boarding Rocks' ship was indeed to use Rocks' immense strength to do his bidding and help him through his weak early stage.
Once Fang Huo developed, he would snatch the abilities he wanted himself!
"Then tell me about the news of the three ancient weapons..."
Seeing that Fang Huo was in a good mood, Rocks asked nonchalantly, wanting to get the important intelligence Fang Huo had foreseen.
"uranus is in the hands of the World Government, but because of a lack of energy, there's a high probability it can't be activated currently."
"Poseidon is a Mermaid Princess from a future era; she hasn't been born yet."
"As for pluton, well... the time isn't right yet."
Fang Huo suddenly stopped talking, raised his eyebrows at Rocks, and gave a meaningful smile.
"What time? I see you want me to do something for you again to benefit yourself, you bastard!"
Rocks wished he could slap Fang Huo flat; he hated bastards who stopped halfway through speaking.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't say it like that. We're in a fair trade."
"However, pluton is a Super Battleship. You don't expect the two of us to go and operate it, do you?"
"At the very least, we should expand the Rocks Pirates first."
"Otherwise, wouldn't we just be helping the World Government find the Pluton Battleship?"
"Do you think we can hold onto the Pluton Battleship?"
"Also, to power the massive Pluton Battleship, it's best to get the help of the Giant Race."
"Legend has it that the Pluton Battleship was built by the Giant Race and the shipwrights of Water Seven together..."
Fang Huo spread his hands, quickly trying to soothe the hot-tempered Rocks, for fear that this brute would give him a slash.
