Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

I don't know what this thing is used for, but whatever its purpose, it's not anything important. For now, that's the end of it. As for what happens next?

That's hard to say!

We'll have to wait until we return to the Rocks Pirates to see what Captain Rocks has to say.

after all!

There are many things that they don't know very well either, and the only person who knows is Locke.

But!

Locke wasn't one to shirk responsibility; he knew these things, but he wouldn't reveal them. So, for now, this matter is settled, and there won't be any further developments.

Snapped!

Snapped!

The group had made their way back to the pirate ship via the rocks and returned to their rooms.

to be frank!

No one took any of the stolen treasures, but! Was it really true that no one stole anything? Impossible! Everyone took everything using their own abilities. As for what kind of abilities?

Hehehe~~~

That's a difficult thing to say. At the very least, outsiders can't possibly know what happened. All we can say is that this is the current situation, and it's impossible for anyone else to know.

"Whoo~~~"

Back in his room, Locke found a place to sit down, let out a long breath, and gently rubbed his temples.

hum~~~

hum~~~

Beside him, the figures of Najenda and Leone gradually appeared, their figures seemingly unchanged, as if they had not undergone any alteration.

"Najjistan, Leone," Locke greeted them briefly, then asked, "How's the situation on your end?"

"Your Highness!"

Najenda bowed slightly and then explained, "Everything has been taken care of! Although the World Government tried to capture you and the rest of the Rocks Pirates, the rioting slaves, combined with the special nature of the Imperial Arms' space, meant we could leave easily."

"Ok!"

Locke nodded in agreement.

That's right!

Najenda and Leone, although I left them on the Red Line, they won't cause any problems at all. If it's a critical moment, I can simply summon them and take them away. As for everything else...

There will be absolutely no problems!

It can be said!

It is no exaggeration to say that everything is under control; Locke has everything perfectly in his grasp.

But!

There are still many things that require careful consideration, and Locke takes these very seriously.

after all!

What if a problem arises?

in particular……

The abilities of Devil Fruits in this world are incredibly diverse. What if a Devil Fruit appeared that could seal off space, making it impossible for anyone to leave? Let's just say, these things are no joke; they require very serious handling. This is absolutely not a joke; it's a stark reality.

"Whoo~~~"

Letting out a long breath, Locke calmly asked, "Najjityan, Leone, how much have you gained?"

"Your Highness!"

Najenda lit a cigarette, exhaling a wisp of smoke as she explained, "Leaving aside other aspects for now, in terms of gold, silver, and precious treasures, I've done a rough estimate, and it's at least a terrifying 700 billion Berries. However, this is just a rough estimate, and there will be some losses if we sell them. But at the very least, our gains this time will definitely not be less than 650 billion Berries."

"..."

"Gudong~~~"

to be frank!

Locke had always considered himself a man of unwavering resolve, and absolutely the kind of person who was incredibly steadfast, well-informed, and remarkably calm about everything. But the thing is! He never imagined that one day he would feel such a profound shock about money!

It's at least 650 billion Berries!

What concept?!

I'm not kidding!

Locke can arm both cavalry and navy? That's just ridiculous! This terrifying quantity was only obtained by robbing from the auction house, and it's definitely not all the treasure, only a portion of it.

but!

Is it really that terrifying?

even though!

There aren't many Pele cash items among them; they're mostly treasures or various kinds of gold and silver. When they're sold to the public, there will definitely be a premium or a discount. But the problem is! These were stolen!

With such astonishing profits, these minor issues are simply insignificant!

This is absolutely outrageous, the strangest thing to do, and even unimaginable!

"Phew~~~"

Letting out a long breath, Locke couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "To be honest, I really couldn't have imagined such a harvest. If I had had any other ideas, I probably wouldn't have achieved this!"

He shook his head helplessly. This was no joke from Locke; he truly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Please!

This is absolutely outrageous!

This is simply a joke! This is just a gain of 650 billion Pelés, and what about everything else?!

honestly!

and……

This doesn't even include the treasures Locke obtained in the Trading City!

This is no joke!

Everything is laid bare before our eyes. Basically, anyone who isn't an idiot can see what's going on. It's truly right in front of everyone, an absurdity beyond belief, utterly unimaginable, undeniably so!

Such terrifying treasure, laid out before our eyes, is simply breathtaking!

Such treasure!

Really are……

Locke also calmed himself down a bit. In fact, Najenda and Leone were the same. When the two women just finished compiling the statistics, they were also filled with the same shock. This is no joke!

But...

This is truly unimaginable! Seriously! Absurd! Absurd! It's utterly outrageous!

Chapter 96: The Harvest of 19 Devil Fruits

A gain of 650 billion peles.

but!

This is far from over.

exactly!

This is only one part of it.

Next up!

Locke, along with Najenda and Leone, continued to tally their gains.

"..."

finally.

It took another three or four hours.

All three of them sat down.

hmm~~~

Locke took a cigarette from Najenda, as did Leone. The three of them, puffing on their cigarettes, fell silent. How to put it? They didn't know what to say. This treasure was simply too vast, so vast that it was unimaginable!

"Hmm~"

Leone rubbed her temples, clicked her tongue, and said in disbelief, "How can I put it! Some things are just unbelievable, okay?!"

"Completely unimaginable!"

"One-third of the trading city."
