Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

The results of it? !

Now I've actually met this opponent, who is so evenly matched. It's unimaginable, it's simply incomprehensible!

All of a sudden...

"..."

Almost everyone fell silent instinctively. No matter what, it was just too shocking. There was still so much that they simply couldn't understand. However, Locke thought to himself, "As expected! It's absolutely undeniable that they possess an almost equal powerhouse."

(chag) "Whew~~~"

Locke exhaled a deep breath, his expression sharp. He was not joking about these matters; he was genuinely taking them very seriously. After all, the issues right before his eyes were extremely weighty.

Locke knew that Captain Rocks' terrifying strength was no exception; in fact, Captain Rocks was truly invincible, surpassing everyone else.

Rather!

There may be very few people who can actually reach this level, but as long as someone can, it means that there are even higher levels to climb. That's why it's enough, and we absolutely cannot be careless.

"Knew it!"

Locke felt his hands trembling slightly, but a smile of excitement played on his lips as he murmured, "This is truly something to look forward to! This world is indeed so exciting, with countless powerful individuals! What will happen next?"

Locke licked his lips. It was fantastic! Facing a strong opponent, he didn't feel fear, but genuine excitement! He was eager to see what the future held and how things would unfold.

This!

Locke was the most excited, after all! Facing a strong opponent, there was no need to be afraid. On the contrary, he was more interested in whether he could defeat this strong opponent and whether he could improve to the level of this strong opponent.

These!

This is what Locke is most interested in, and what he finds most interesting. After all, if people don't look forward, life would be far too boring.

"Cough cough cough~~~"

Shiki stopped at this moment, looked at everyone present, and relaxed slightly, but his face was still pale and his expression was extremely ugly. He said, "Everyone! Prepare to retreat! Retreat! Prepare to retreat immediately, the enemy has arrived!"

"We felt it."

"coming!"

"what!"

Everyone nodded silently as they listened to Shiki's words.

Ah!

No need for your nonsense, we've already seen it; that terrifying figure is rushing towards us.

This was an old man in military uniform, who looked like an iron tower. He appeared to be in his seventies or eighties. However, for someone who takes good care of themselves, it's impossible to be sure, after all, top-tier experts have very long lifespans.

and!

The man leaped down and landed on the ground. He surveyed his surroundings, his face icy cold, and said indifferently, "The Rocks Pirates! Not bad! Not bad! You trash dare to show your faces here?"

"So!"

"I'll just kill you then!"

His eyes flashed with an extremely terrifying light, and his ferocious expression was like that of a demon. However, that terrifying aura made everyone feel a chill involuntarily.

It is undeniable!

This aura is absolutely terrifying! It's no joke; it's truly astonishing. Those terrifying wisps of energy are just like Captain Roelkos's. Although it's not Conqueror's Haki, just feeling it makes one feel like they're about to die, which is the most terrifying thing of all.

One who is in no way inferior to Captain Rocks.

wrong!

Locke narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself, "Somewhat lacking! No! No! Much lacking, just like the difference between a near-general and a general. It may seem like there's not much difference, but in reality, this slight difference can be a fatal one."

Locke keenly sensed all of this, and he had already perceived the differences in everything.

"Noxus Locke!!!"

He then turned his gaze to Locke, his eyes sharp, and said, "That sentence! You were the one who said it, weren't you?"

"That sentence?" Locke was taken aback, seemingly not quite understanding its meaning.

"Hehehe~~~"

He said coldly, "You're saying we're just dogs of the World Government?!"

“That’s what I mean!” Locke nodded knowingly, then gave a sarcastic smile and said, “What is your position? Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces?! But! Whatever it is, aren’t you still a dog of the World Government? Is there any need for hesitation or doubt?”

Locke's expression was very calm, but it was this calmness that made everyone gasp in astonishment. He was truly fearless!

and!

The old man in front of him, however, did not seem annoyed at all.

His identity was exactly as Locke had described.

World Government, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces: Flame!

This powerful monster, no matter how astonishing his strength, was genuinely displeased with Locke at this moment. After all, he was once a naval officer and now the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, yet he had been insulted by a junior?

Do not!

This junior has insulted the army, navy, and air force!

Chapter 92: Escape! Goodbye!

World Government, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces: Flame!

A monster of terrifying power.

hmm~~~

Let me put it this way!

Captain Rocks was probably in his seventies or eighties, around the same time as the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters. The three admirals below him were around fifty years old, while Newgate, Shiki, Sengoku, Garp, and others were around thirty years old.

As for!

Further down are Locke, Kaido, and others, all around twenty years old.

and!

This monster from the World Government, named Yan, is 100 years old and is an absolutely terrifyingly powerful monster.

"Hehehe~~~"

Hearing Locke's resolute words, the old monster smiled faintly and remarked with admiration, "Interesting! Interesting! Truly an arrogant young man. But young man, is your confidence truly based on pure confidence?!"

"what?!"

His eyes flashed with a terrifying light, and an incomparably terrifying aura burst forth from Yan's body. Those terrifying waves of air seemed to be churning, as if they were about to devour everyone. In a short time, the endless air currents surged wildly, and everything around seemed to have no meaning at all.

only!

Locke remained calm amidst all of this.

momentum?!

joke!

If this thing were useful to me, then it would be completely meaningless. Under Captain Rocks' terrifying pressure, how could I resist Conqueror's Haki? I'm not kidding, it's hard to say what level each member of the Rocks Pirates is strong, but one thing is absolutely certain!

One aspect of the Rocks Pirates is absolutely terrifying: their resistance to Conqueror's Haki and their resistance to a person's spirit.

Have no idea!

Your own Captain Rocks is incredibly powerful; do you really think that kind of aura can defeat you?!

It's practically a joke!

Bear~~~

Bear~~~

Scorching flames burned on Yan's body, and his aura was extremely terrifying.

That's right!

Flame's Devil Fruit is that Logia-type Devil Fruit that even dogs wouldn't eat: the Flame-Flame Fruit!

only!

Feeling the terrifying temperature, Allen thought to himself, "As expected! The Devil Fruit is developed in completely different ways depending on who uses it. The power developed by the Supreme Commander of the World Government's armed forces is simply chilling."

Look at their Flaming Fruit!

even though!

To be honest, Locke finds it a bit strange that this person died. Normally, a strong person who has reached this level of strength should not die at all; that is absolutely beyond doubt.

after all!

Although people in this world don't generally change much with increasing strength, there is a fundamental improvement in their strength—that's absolutely undeniable and beyond any doubt.

to be honest.

A person's physical constitution can still be improved, just like what is happening right now. In the face of absolute power, the physical constitution can also be improved, and such an improvement is quite astonishing, which can slightly extend one's lifespan.
