Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Chapter 204: Disguise! A chilling calm!

"An alliance?"

What made you have this misconception?

"Does a pirate who flees like a rat have the right to ally with Noxus?"

"A mere loser—"

Locke's voice wasn't exactly loud.

But the tone was unusually harsh.

There was no contempt on his face, only a calmness as if stating a fact.

And it is this tranquility.

What Fingri felt was a contempt that ran deep in his bones.

"loser……"

Fingri gritted his teeth.

A sickening sound came from his clenched teeth, clearly indicating that his sore spot had been hit.

"if not?"

"You think you're a success?"

Locke rotated the joints in his wrist; the wound from the scimitar had completely healed.

That's right!

He just looks down on Fingri.

So what if a pirate once went up against Rocks?

Since they retreated under his iron fist, disappeared into the vast sea, and lost their ambition to reach the top, no matter how strong they were, they were destined to be nothing more than remnants of the old era, unable to board the ship of the new era. Sooner or later, they would be swept into the dust of the times. Flies can only live a life of mere survival and can never support the prestige of a hegemon.

Just like in the original story, even Wang Zhiyin, the Silver Axe, was a famous pirate. However, the name of Finggri Wolf Soul disappeared completely from history, not even as dust.

350 lost the belief that he was invincible and compromised time and time again.

he!

It’s been useless for a long time!

"Arrogant brat! What kind of look is that?!"

Fingri was already in a fit of rage.

Provoked by Locke's dismissive gaze, which made him feel like a nobody, his eyes welled up with tears, and his anger surged. Even his breath felt hot, as if his lungs were being burned through.

"you--"

"You really want to continue fighting me?"

Fingri's face was extremely grim.

If he was somewhat joking at the beginning, as things have progressed, he has lost the desire to continue fighting.

Locke's monstrous physique and powerful martial arts skills had a profound impact on him.

In addition, there's Najenda's cheating 'Devil Fruit power' under his command.

Besides feeling frustrated, Fingri was also filled with apprehension.

Because he provoked Rocks, he was forced to live in hiding on the high seas until he was killed by the World Government. Only then did he dare to come out and form a pirate crew to set sail again, and he was forced to carry burdens.

If we anger Locke again, what will happen when he becomes powerful?

In Fingrey's eyes, he was likely to become an even more terrifying figure than Rocks in the future. Having witnessed Rocks' rise to power firsthand, he knew that at his age, Rocks was far from possessing such strength.

Simply...

A monster among monsters!!

"Do you really have to be my enemy?" Fingri's voice, though laced with gritted teeth, even carried a hint of softness.

"An enemy of yours?"

"Are you misunderstanding something again...?"

"They've stormed the Noxian border, attempting to unleash a devastating tidal wave and wound my men!"

"It is indeed your Moonshadow Pirates."

Locke squinted.

A chilling killing intent surged from him. Although his strength was slightly inferior to Fingeri's, his imposing aura was in no way weak, and even stronger than Fingeri's.

Like a colossal beast from the wilderness, it roared, looking down at the sky with a chilling killing intent.

Even the sky.

All because of the will that Locke brought together.

The air was imbued with a heavy atmosphere, and it inexplicably became thick and heavy.

"Wha, what?"

"Just some ordinary people? You're going to fight me for a mere army? I am Moonshadow Fingeri! The true soul of the Wolf King!!!"

Ordinary cadres were terrified, but the powerful Fingri was naturally unaffected.

His face showed only astonishment.

That's right!

He looked completely taken aback.

"Treasure or Pele?"

"I admit defeat this time, and I'm willing to compensate those who died!"

Fingri's face darkened.

He always thought it was just Locke's excuse to make things difficult for him.

They just want to claim compensation.

Standing up for a mere ordinary soldier? There isn't even a single Devil Fruit user among them, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed Torto to kill so ruthlessly.

He killed countless insignificant ants while roaming the seas, and he even destroyed countries more than once. The name of the Wolf King was earned through bloodshed!

He never cared about the weak.

"compensation?"

"You can pay with your life!"

Locke remained unmoved. Anyone who dared to bare their teeth on his turf had to be prepared to be crushed by his punch.

"you……"

"Does it really have to come to this?"

Fingri's face grew increasingly grim. Locke, however, responded with an indifferent expression.

"A Devil Fruit? I'm willing to offer a Devil Fruit as compensation—"

Fingeri waved towards the pirate ship behind him, as if he were about to offer something of value as compensation. He seemed very sincere, and even Joel, standing nearby, was somewhat tempted. This was a treasure that could allow them to evolve.

next moment!

Fingeri, who was holding the Devil Fruit, suddenly turned cold.

啷！

Two curved blades were launched out.

As if he had grasped the moon in his hand, he suddenly charged forward.

Extremely fast!

It was more exaggerated than any of his previous performances.

The afterimage flashed.

He leaped out from the shadows and charged at Locke, aiming straight for his vitals. Clearly, he intended to kill him and eliminate him completely. Since the relationship couldn't be mended, he might as well end it once and for all!

This great pirate from the old era has finally revealed his ruthless side.

Kill them!

They can change their expressions faster than turning the pages of a book!

One moment they were pleading for mercy, the next they unleashed all their power to kill.

The situation has changed.

In the blink of an eye.

No time to react at all.

"Your Highness—"
