Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

'That guy!'

'That guy's gotten stronger again!'

Yan's face was solemn. Even though his body was covered in wounds, he still forced himself to fight against him, despite the devastating situation in the Valley of the Gods.

one……

two……

three...

What was originally God Valley, the Celestial Dragons' paradise, has now become their final destination.

Even if Lockheed gave the order.

The mission order is to capture as many prisoners as possible while minimizing casualties.

but……

War is cruel, and water and fire are merciless.

There will always be Celestial Dragons who die in unknown area-of-effect attacks.

but.

more!

They became spoils of war for the pirates to flaunt their power, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides over these descendants of the 'Creator' who wore glass domes and considered themselves superior.

However, destruction is always easier than construction, and plunder is always simpler than defense.

Especially since those guys are incredibly mentally challenged and physically weak good-for-nothings.

With their numerical advantage and the Rocks Pirates fighting like wild beasts out of control, the Rocks Pirates clearly had the upper hand in the short term, before all the World Government's reinforcements arrived.

One Celestial Dragon after another was captured by pirates.

The Navy and the World Government also looked increasingly grim, but against the overwhelming tide of pirates, they were like a small boat in a raging storm. Even with their strength, they were simply no match for the overwhelming force.

-

One two three four five...

"What a great harvest!"

Locke raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile playing on his lips, looking delighted.

After defeating Black Cloud Snow, Locke discovered that two Celestial Dragons, a man and a woman, were still protecting him in the dissipating Marines. He had just received another Devil Fruit for free.

The man's name is Charlos Saint.

The woman's name is Charlene Palace!

He was a complete stranger, whom Locke treated as a background character and strung on the chain behind him.

Locke had no pity for these maggot-like creatures.

Want to know.

As a naval admiral, Snow's presence on the battlefield of God Valley was certainly not without purpose.

Given the Navy's track record, it's highly likely they are searching for and protecting Celestial Dragons who have been hastily hiding in various locations and haven't had time to evacuate yet.

after all!

These are Celestial Dragons, the kind of people who, even if they lose a hair, can mobilize a Marine Admiral to search for and capture criminals like mad dogs, imprisoning them in Impel Down.

From this perspective, Locke's statement that the Navy are all lackeys of the Celestial Dragons isn't entirely wrong.

"Tsk!"

"It's a pity it's a little too early!"

"If we had dealt with him later, we might have gained more."

Locke smacked his lips.

He had an insatiable look on his face.

Snow's actions clearly indicated that he was leading the Navy in searching through the ruins for Celestial Dragons who hadn't had time to evacuate and were hiding on the spot. Compared to Locke's aimless search, Snow, with a target in mind and internal communication, was almost like having a cheat code, and the speed was completely incomparable.

If he waits until he's almost finished and then intercepts the deal all at once, the reward will be so great that even he won't be able to help but be surprised.

"Tsk~"

I forcibly suppressed my emotions.

This lavish feast has only just begun!

The real guests and hosts hadn't even taken their seats yet, but a lavish array of dishes was being served, making everyone's mouths water.

just now!

This is not the time to waste time.

"Kaido!"

"How are you?"

Locke glanced at the burly man beside him, who was panting heavily.

"It's...it's alright!"

"Next!"

"Let's split up and search the battlefield!"

"God's Canyon is so big, it's always better to find the spoils separately than to go together!"

It is said to be the Valley of the Gods.

But its actual size is far more than just a canyon; it is a heavenly paradise created by human hands, with magnificent buildings and palaces, and a continuous complex of buildings...

The combined area is even larger than the territory of a small country. The Rocks Pirates, who landed there, were like a bunch of mice scurrying into a rice granary. They were afraid they couldn't carry it all, couldn't get any, and there was no way they would run out of rice to carry.

The pocket is too small...it can't hold it all...

There are too few people... We can't find them all...

That's the correct answer!

but……

Compared to this obvious excuse...

Kaido's true reason is clearly not that.

'he!'

'You've gotten stronger again!'

Clutching his exhausted arm, Kaido looked at Locke beside him, his heart filled with mixed emotions. The usually fearless, arrogant, and conceited Kaido was now feeling fear and even submission towards Locke…

He's practically invincible.

However, in the next instant, it was severed by him.

Being with Locke would definitely be the most rewarding. With his immense strength, even a Marine Admiral wouldn't be a threat, and he could arrogantly plunder the battlefield at will.

But! His inner pride would never allow Kaido to bow his head like that.

he!

He is destined to become the strongest creature on land, sea, and air!

"Hey--"

"I'm not going to give up so easily!"

"The betting continues!"

"I will definitely find a treasure of even greater value and defeat you fair and square!"

Kaido said nothing.

Without a second thought, he turned and left, stepping on the ruins, leaving behind a strong silhouette.

A rough, gruff voice.

Following the sound of the wind, from where he gradually disappeared and became a black dot, came discussions.

The sound waves are surging!

As solid as a rock!

Chapter 130: World Government: If you encounter Locke, retreat unconditionally!

"Hahaha~"

"Kaido's gone, we should hurry up and get up too!"

Locke patted himself on the back.

He spoke to the illusory figures of Leone and the other girls beside him.
