Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"Let's take care of it!"

"Clean up the battlefield. As for the soldiers wounded in the battle, Esdeath, you're in charge."

Locke looked at the general he had personally appointed beside him.

It's just a small matter.

He imagined Esdeath would definitely handle it best.

he!

He was never a ruler who did everything himself. He only needed to let the people he trusted handle things, and he was in control of everything else. This was his inner ambition: to rule the seas and be the king of kings!

Sa!

A figure flashed by.

After arranging everything, Locke left the battlefield without hesitation, using Moonwalk to travel directly away.

If he has to do everything himself, what is the point of summoning the Imperial Guardian?

Behind the graceful figure as he departed.

It was Joel and Seele, who looked at each other with a puzzled expression.

"Hey?"

"ah?"

"..."

The charging army below couldn't help but pause slightly.

"What are you still doing?"

Esdeath, with a cold expression, stepped forward.

"Your Highness's order!"

Didn't you hear me?

"The whole army forms an array!"

"annihilate these despicable invaders!"

"Not a single one will be left alive!"

The menacing command came from Esdeath's mouth; this was her method of handling the situation!

They're just a bunch of despicable pirates.

Are we still keeping this to taint His Highness's eyes?

She has never been a soft-hearted person; on the contrary, ruthless and merciless is the best description of her.

Ignore the pirates' cries and pleas for mercy.

Neither fighting to the death nor begging for mercy on her knees affected her determination to continue.

Endless frost was scattered.

It was stretched out in his hand and turned into a military knife.

Leading her cavalry, Esdeath charged and fought until the azure glacier was stained with blood. After the order to leave no one alive was thoroughly carried out, Esdeath, with a cold expression, waved her right hand to shake off the blood on her ice blade.

Head tilted slightly upwards.

His eyes held an unwavering determination.

Once the cold air recedes and the glaciers melt and disappear, the vast ocean will erase all traces.

thorough!

Clean up the beginning and the end!

Truly clean!

-

The Noxian Empire!

The palace!

Banquet hall!

tread!

tread!

tread!

Meticulous footsteps echoed on the gleaming floor.

It was Esdeath's tall and captivating figure.

Under the chilling, brutal backdrop, the already beautiful ice queen became even more alluring.

But it also makes it even more...untouchable.

but!

Facing Locke, the cold mask melted instantly, revealing the flippancy he was familiar with, Esdeath's true nature after shedding her disguise.

"Well~"

"Your Highness is really taking it easy~"

After Esdeath dealt with those pirates...

Locke had already washed up and changed his clothes before arriving at the banquet hall.

Chapter 210: An Unexpected Gain!

"It's done!"

Locke, holding a knife and fork, whispered to Esdeath.

His voice was indifferent.

It wasn't a question, but a concise affirmation.

Locke had absolute confidence in the general he had personally appointed!

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Everything has been dealt with; all the valuables on the battlefield have been looted."

"Once the glaciers melt, the ruins of the battlefield, along with the traces of the battle, will be buried beneath the sea."

"The seized valuables are still being tallied, but the treasure on Finggri's ship has been sorted out: two Devil Fruits, one Zoan-type and one Paramecia-type..."

Esdeath respectfully offered two pieces of fruit, a banana and a pineapple, both with intricate patterns on them.

It's the Devil Fruit Locke needs.

Without needing any instructions, the meticulous Esdeath had already sorted them out in advance.

"very good--"

Locke nodded in satisfaction.

Without asking any further questions, he expressed complete confidence in Esdeath's abilities.

A general who can command an army of millions of soldiers with ease would find handling this 'minor matter' in Noxus to be a piece of cake, without any doubt.

"but……"

"Only two?"

Locke took the Devil Fruit and immediately put it into the Imperial Arms space.

Frowning slightly.

There was a slight sense of dissatisfaction.

A powerful pirate of the Yonko caliber, with a presence comparable to that of a royal crew, had such meager loot on his pirate ship that he couldn't even gather enough energy for half a recruitment or transformation.

That's really terrible.

Compared to the immense wealth that made people envious, it was simply too small.

"It must be that Fingri's Moonshadow Pirates are expanding their recruitment."

"The accumulated wealth has all been invested in improving the capabilities of cadres."

Najendan's mature, older-sisterly voice rang in my ears.

His overall perspective is not bad.

They quickly figured out most of it.

After Rocks's downfall, Fingrey, eager to make a name for himself at sea, hastily assembled the Moonshadow Pirates. The resources they must have consumed were undoubtedly considerable. It was only by chance that Rocks killed them; if it had been any later…

If he finds two or three more capable cadres, he might not even be able to keep this little bit of his gains.

"never mind!"
