Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"How does it feel to face a naval admiral?" Locke walked over from a short distance away and asked, "How do you feel about the difference in skill?"

"Very large!" Esdeath said with a smile, "It will only last ten minutes at most! I will die then, but! Seeing the existence of an even stronger being is just too wonderful!"

Locke didn't say anything more.

Actually!

For Esdeath, she was originally too strong, so strong that she had no rivals.

Naturally.

When Esdeath reached that level, she even wanted to fall in love. It was clear that Esdeath was invincible, and many times she even sought death, hoping that her opponent would kill her.

only!

Having arrived in this world, Esdeath encountered even stronger individuals, and her bloodline, yearning to become stronger, began to boil.

"Your Highness!" Sebastian arrived with Alice at this moment and said respectfully, "A ship has been arranged for you to travel to the New World via the Red Line. So please be patient, the Red Line is very dangerous."

Red earth continent!

The headquarters of the world government!

but!

This is indeed the fastest and safest route to the New World.

That is to travel to the New World by merchant ship via the Red Line.

"Don't worry." Locke waved his hand and chuckled, "I'm not an idiot, I wouldn't do something so foolish."

"Noxus is now in your hands."

"Yes!"

"Your Highness!"

Sebastian and Alice, husband and wife, placed one hand on their chests and knelt respectfully on one knee, bowing with the highest and most respectful etiquette to their Highness, who had given everything for Noxus.

hmm~~~

Locke's departure this time will inevitably make him a wanted criminal by the World Government and a pirate.

Locke didn't care about this, and Esdeath didn't care about such things either.

However, this is how Sebastian and Alice see it.

For one's own prince to become a pirate is the greatest insult imaginable.

From prince! From nobleman! To pirate?

Even said!

His Highness is about to become the new king. No matter how powerful or weak this king is, he is still a king!

As a result, he was forced to become a pirate?

This is a disgrace! A tremendous disgrace!

quickly!

Sebastian had specially arranged for someone to do Locke's makeup.

hmm~~~

how to say!

After the makeup was done, Locke looked more than ten years older. He was clearly a fifteen-year-old boy, but now he looked like a 25-year-old youth.

but.

This is also the best way to pass through the Red Earth safely.

Get everything ready.

at night!

The merchant ship had already arrived in Noxus. Sebastian exchanged pleasantries with the ship's owner with practiced ease, and soon, with Bailey's help, he arranged for Locke to board the ship, receiving VIP treatment.

Wow~~~

Wow~~~

Standing by the ship, Locke watched Noxus gradually disappear into the distance, remaining silent for a long time. No one knew what Locke was thinking.

The captain walked over step by step and said with emotion, "Brother! You're Sebastian's family. To be honest, Noxus has really had a tough time! They were finally starting to see some improvement, and then this happened."

"Take care of yourself!" The captain shook his head and comforted him, "Brother, I'll take you to the Golden Island of the New World. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself! Figure out how to survive!"

"it is good!"

Locke perfectly conveyed that feeling of depression, nodding silently.

Chapter 11: The Fallen Prince Locke, Bounty: 2 million Berries

"Whoo~~~"

"Whoo~~~"

Inside the cabin, Locke was panting heavily as he underwent grueling training.

"Little Prince," Esdeath said with a smile, sitting on the sofa beside him, "this kind of training won't be able to fully unleash your potential~~~"

As for why Esdeath is here?

Ah!

how to say!

The 48 Imperial Arms are equivalent to Locke's 48 Treasures, and the Imperial Arms User is equivalent to the spirit of the Imperial Arm.

In other words.

Locke can summon the Imperial Arms to his side anywhere if he wants, and Esdeath is just a phantom right now.

after all!

Summoning them is easy, but sending them back is a real hassle.

so.

Esdeath's phantom arrived beside Locke through the Imperial Arms' spatial dimension. However! If Locke were to encounter a danger he couldn't handle, Esdeath's true form could arrive instantly.

"Whoo~~~"

Letting out another long breath, Locke picked up a towel and wiped away his sweat; the floor was already soaked.

“This kind of training is the most suitable for me right now,” Locke said calmly. “Training is to become stronger. If I put myself in danger, it will only cause more trouble.”

“The people of this sea are more dangerous than the Dangerous Species.” Locke wiped his sweat and asked, “Esdeath, how much do you feel you are lacking compared to a Marine Admiral?”

"What a gap..."

"It's huge!"

Esdeath showed no anger or resentment, instead saying with a smile, "I can only last ten minutes at most! And that's pure physical skill. If you add Haki and Devil Fruit abilities, I'm afraid I can only last three minutes, or even two minutes~~~"

"Ok!"

Locke nodded knowingly. Based on his judgment, Esdeath's strength was probably at the level of a vice admiral. With the ice power of the Demon Essence, she could probably reach the level of a top vice admiral.

Of course.

Such strength would be insignificant in the eyes of an emperor. For example, Queen of the Beasts Pirates in the original work, as one of the three great calamities, is at least capable of defeating a vice admiral.

The results of it? !

Hehehe~~~

With such strength, facing Lingling in her rage, one strike would be enough to kill you. If the two were to engage in a full-blown battle, Quinn could only hold out for a short time at most.

to be honest.

The gap between the level of a Yonko commander and those below him is simply too large. Unless you're talking about someone at the level of a Yonko commander like Marco, King, Beckman, or Katakuri, the difference is just too great.

"It seems the difference in strength is still quite significant!" Locke said casually. "Esdeath, what are your plans next?"

"Noxus's problems are minor; a mere ten thousand troops is nothing." Esdeath's eyes sharpened, and she said with an excited smile, "Of course, we must work even harder to become stronger!"

Locke wasn't surprised by Esdeath's words.

after all!

Esdeath was once a great general commanding an army of millions. Did she really need to take these mere 10,000 men seriously? Moreover! Esdeath felt a renewed sense of motivation. She had been so powerful in the past that she had lost her drive, and that was the worst thing that could happen to her.

She needed motivation, and now that she had witnessed even stronger individuals, the motivation that had once disappeared naturally reappeared.

"Okay, I need to rest now."

Locke didn't care whether Esdeath was watching him. After washing up, he lay down on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

but!
