Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

He threw a punch.

Just like lava flow, it melted him directly down.

Not even a trace of bone was left.

It's not that Locke's methods are too cruel, it's just that this guy's Devil Fruit ability is too disgusting. Who wants to have their hands and body covered in all sorts of messy, white, unidentified substances...

Neither men nor women can stand it!

"Tsk~"

"So easily defeated, taken care of so easily?"

Locke clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Feelings. This supposedly powerful branch, is that all the strength they have? It's not even enough for a warm-up!

"Xie'er."

"what's the result?"

He shook the blood off his hands and stirred his blood and qi to evaporate the residue.

Locke turned his head.

He looked directly at Seele, who was not far away.

While they were making their move, Seele was sent off to find the treasures and reserves at the N9 base on her own.

Under the tutelage of Esdeath, the gold medal teacher.

Although the time was short, Seele's outstanding talent, coupled with the powerful teaching staff, had already propelled her dual-color Haki to the level of Major General.

They're not exactly super strong, but with the power of the Imperial Arms [Observer], sweeping through this Marine branch shouldn't be dangerous at all. Besides, aren't they all here?

What's the panic!

There's absolutely no need to worry!

-

"Only some Pele were found."

Seele shook her head, her face showing a hint of guilt and self-reproach.

Of course she knew what the Lord wanted.

"Oh~"

"Nevermind."

Locke didn't care much. He hadn't had high hopes to begin with, since it was just a branch base of the Navy, and it was normal that it didn't have Devil Fruits.

On the high seas, this stuff isn't common; if there were any left, they would have been eaten long ago.

This is a branch, not the headquarters, and there's a need to store Devil Fruits as strategic resources.

"but……"

"However, there were some other discoveries."

Seele rallied her spirits, trying her best to salvage the situation and prevent the Overlord from being disappointed.

"Oh?"

"Other findings?"

Locke blinked, instantly becoming interested.

He knew the personalities of the Imperial Arms users; they all put themselves first. Given Seele's shy nature, she would never speak carelessly, let alone deliberately tease or joke with him.

absolute!

It's definitely not something trivial!

Locke smiled, as if he could already smell a major event.

"It seems to be related to the World Government."

"this place……"

“I read something in their minds, but it was a bit fragmented… I only knew that they were lined up here, as if they were waiting for some important person who might pass by, so they came to greet them.”

"...Not from Marine Headquarters, yet commanding such respect from these Marines, it must be the World Government..."

Seele spoke timidly.

The Imperial Arms that kept flashing purple in her eyes was the best proof of her voice.

"World government?"

"Is an important person coming?"

"No wonder there are so many naval personnel guarding the checkpoint. I thought it was because this naval branch was disciplined and well-trained! Turns out they were there to welcome their master."

Locke looked disdainful.

A sneer appeared on his lips.

He shook his head, glanced at the city defenses on the island's shore, which were decorated as neatly as new, and there were things hanging everywhere. He said, "Why does it look so strange?"

It seems they've been preparing to welcome us since early morning; they've mobilized all their manpower, no wonder the assembly was so quick.

Unfortunately, no matter how many people come, they're just free food.

Their incredibly fast mobilization speed only accelerated their eventual annihilation.

"Tsk tsk..."

"What a dog!"

"And, moreover, they're the World Government's good dogs!"

Locke's undisguised contempt was met with silence from the remaining navy personnel present. None of them dared to utter a word of rebuttal; they all blushed and lowered their heads, wishing they could disappear into their crotches.

Knowing that a high-ranking official from the World Government might pass through here, they made preparations in advance to welcome him, with a lot of commotion and rehearsals. Even the checkpoints used for defense were decorated with a bunch of flashy but impractical things.

The entire navy was mobilized just to welcome the important figure.

A dog that opens the door and waits to greet its owner—that's a dog, especially a good dog that wags its tail!

Chapter 224: A Perverted Interrogation! Will You Talk or Not?

Seele slowly walked to the side of one of the naval soldiers and stretched out her palm.

A pale blue halo appeared in the palm of his hand.

Locke was also very puzzled when he saw this, and quickly asked.

"Seele, what are you going to do?"

Seele smiled slightly and then patiently explained.

"Since they are about to welcome a very important person, I am quite curious about who this so-called important person is?"

Looking at Seele's adorable appearance, Locke simply shook his head, slowly walked up to the naval soldier, and squatted down.

After all, no matter how important a person is, as long as they are a member of the World Government, he certainly wouldn't let them off easily.

It would be better to just kidnap the people from the World Government; that way, they might be able to get a lot of Devil Fruits.

After all, he had already disguised his external identity and called himself a Fruit Hunter.

Therefore, one should naturally do things that match one's identity!

The naval soldiers targeted by Locke couldn't help but retreat repeatedly.

He saw a hint of conspiracy in Luo's eyes.

The wicked smile on his face also sent chills down his spine.

"You...what are you going to do?"

When questioned by the naval soldiers, Locke simply shrugged indifferently.

"We just want to question you a bit. You probably know what you should say, but we can't skip the proper procedures."

Locke suddenly raised his leg and decisively stomped down.

Its speed was unstoppable, especially when it was launched suddenly.

The weak naval soldier never expected that Locke would still attack him even though he had already given up resisting.

Click.

There was a crisp sound.

The poor soldier's lower leg was broken in two, exposing the bare white bone.

"what!!!"

Accompanying this was the sound of painful (chag) howls.

He never expected that the so-called process would actually turn against him.

Locke, with a smile on his face, slowly approached once again.
