Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"what?"

"That's a Devil Fruit?"

Below the stands, next to what appeared to be the central seating area, on a small square table with a coffee table, lay a piece of fruit. This wasn't important, but the patterns on the fruit looked somewhat familiar to Locke.

Although I don't know what kind of fruit it is.

but!

A fruit with this kind of pattern is definitely a Devil Fruit.

Chapter 132: Setting Sail! Locke, the World Devourer!

"Tsk."

"How extravagant!"

Even Locke, who was quite wealthy, couldn't help but click his tongue.

It's placed here like this.

It was clearly just something to keep on hand, used as a prop for entertainment, and could be given away at any time on a whim, just to see other slaves put on a more entertaining show after they had the fruit.

No one touched it. It must be because the CP organization and the guards didn't dare to mess with the Celestial Dragon's things, fearing they would be held accountable later. When they left, time was too short to take it.

Don't think it's impossible.

In the original work.

Empress Hancock.

The Love-Love Fruit that made her stronger was the one she was forced to eat during a variety show when she was a slave, because a Celestial Dragon wanted to see what the effects of Devil Fruits were like.

So say it!

Everything that seems illogical or unreasonable suddenly becomes logical when it happens to a Celestial Dragon.

After all! They're Celestial Dragons!

Those Celestial Dragons are disgusting!!

Ugly privileges and filthy natures—compared to the self-proclaimed righteous navy, these ugly fellows who take pleasure in trampling on humanity are even more despicable. They deserve to be wiped out entirely; the navy is nothing more than their henchmen.

-

"Humph!"

A murderous glint flashed in Locke's eyes as he unceremoniously put the fruit into his bag.

Besides the fruit.

There were also many treasures around, not to mention the pure gold pillars, which were worth a lot of Berries.

Esdeath's extravagant training methods consume an astronomical amount of money from Beli. Previously, Beli could maintain its expansion through the plunder of war, but plunder is ultimately limited. Until other new sources of income are found, it is quite good to make a fortune here to fill the huge hole.

However, time and space are limited.

Even Locke couldn't collect without limit.

Despite his current arrogance and dominance on the battlefield of God Valley, he is invincible and cannot even stand up to a single enemy. In fact, most of his opponents flee at the mere sight of him, and few dare to confront him head-on.

It was as if he were invincible and possessed unparalleled strength.

but!

Locke clearly understood that this was just an illusion!

It simply occupies a gap in the front and back.

The Navy, the World Government, and their elite forces were all tied down and unable to attend to other matters, which resulted in him becoming an overpowered player who was detached from the cutting-edge battlefield, a veritable bug in the system.

but!

Such good days obviously cannot last forever.

Whether it's the top combat force within God Valley, any one of them could decide the winner, freeing up time to gather more people.

Or perhaps outside God Valley, the World Government's reinforcements from the army, navy, and air force arrived just in time, their numbers and combat power several times greater than before, enough to completely close the gap between them and suppress him outright.

World government!

This history, which spanned the 'Void Century,' destroyed countless heroes and ambitious figures, and suppressed monsters that dominated the world for a full eight hundred years.

His strength is absolutely terrifying beyond imagination; there is absolutely no doubt about that.

Locke hadn't forgotten.

Don't be fooled by the Rocks Pirates' fierce fighting and arrogant demeanor.

But in reality?

The original work clearly states that only a handful of guys, including Whitebeard, survived.

others?

All dead!

Those who died didn't even leave their names on the sea; they were merely tragic silhouettes in the battle.

See Feilu: Bawu Ling'er Wine Liu Wulin Yi

In other words.

Ninety-nine percent of the pirates present will be killed, leaving not a trace.

This!

It was a predetermined ending.

At least.

Locke wasn't so arrogant that he could have easily stepped into Locke's battle long ago, using his own strength to change the outcome of that battle and thus alter the course of the war.

What appears to be a grand feast is actually a pre-ordained event with a predetermined end date.

—Limited-time buffet.

"The same opportunity..."

"It's unlikely that this will happen again!"

Locke sighed softly.

Regardless of Rocks's goals, under the World Government's outwardly lenient but inwardly strict rule, tearing open such a large breach would be extremely difficult.

The same thing is almost impossible to happen a second time in a short period of time.

This should basically be something that was destined to happen.

The World Government's resources are absolutely, completely, and without a doubt terrifying beyond imagination; this is a fact that anyone can easily deduce.

If we miss out on the grand feast of God Valley, the arduous process of accumulating initial resources, it will be virtually impossible for a similar event to occur again...

Based on the timeline, we can extrapolate.

Aside from the God Valley Incident, the only other event that could truly shake the World Government, a behemoth like the Sea King, would be when the terminally ill Pirate King Roger surrenders himself to the authorities and announces to the world, during a live broadcast from the execution platform, that the "Great Pirate Era" initiated by One Piece is also the "Great Pirate Era."

A short period of time.

They simply don't have the right to be selective.

The gains from this God Valley expedition will largely determine the future development and strategic goals of Locke, and even Noxus, for a long period to come.

after all!

With the end of the battle and the demise of Rocks, the rule of the Rocks Pirates will also collapse instantly.

With the core Locus gone, this was inevitable.

By then!

Without the Rocks Pirates' large ship as a protective umbrella, shielding them from the wind and rain, it means that Rock himself has to face everything on his own. It also signifies that Noxus is stepping out from behind the scenes and into the limelight.

formal.

In his own right, he set foot on this sea full of 'miracles' and 'dreams'.

Go and face the fierce winds and waves, the oppression.

Although the crisis is greater, the opportunities that come with it will also be much greater.

No matter how strong you are, if you stay under the protection of others, you are still just a pitiful fledgling.

0.6 Only by truly battling the wind and waves can one transform into a surging force soaring through the sky!

Locke, who was so greedy that he wanted to possess the world, could never be content to stay under someone else's command. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

What he needs to do now!

He simply had to work hard to accumulate as many resources as possible, and plunder them from the Rocks Pirates, this sinking behemoth, to make him even more powerful.

Locke dared not waste anything, nor was he willing to waste anything. After hastily looting one place, he rushed off to his new target without stopping.

A little hard work now will make things a hundred times easier later!
