Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Is that human being?

Is this really within the scope of what a human can do?

Even those with Devil Fruit powers probably couldn't guarantee they wouldn't suffer any damage from this sword energy.

A terrifying cloud of dust spread in all directions, and the yellow sand filling the sky made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.

Serslanley cautiously observed his surroundings, knowing that Locke would act when his plan failed.

"Are you looking for me?"

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out behind Serslanley.

And that ghostly figure was rapidly approaching.

Locke delivered a straight punch, slamming it into Serslanley's back.

This punch seemed simple, without any imposing force.

An ordinary punch sent Serslanley flying over a hundred meters away in an instant.

It's unclear how many walls it pierced before slowing its flight and finally crashing into the ruins.

But only Locke knew that the punch he had just delivered had incorporated a savage and domineering aura, which had been rapidly injected into Serslanley's body, causing devastating damage to its internal organs.

Sure enough, when Locke stood up, Serslanley was already lying in the ruins, unable to move.

"The rest of you, have you decided how you want to die?"

"The original plan was to kidnap you and extort some Devil Fruits from you."

"But that would only bring me endless trouble, so I might as well go all the way."

Jibril clenched his fists. He hadn't expected that his most prized subordinate would be defeated so easily.

Even a single punch was enough to kill Serslanley.

Is this simply a difference in strength?

"It seems we'll have to use our real methods this time."

Jibril's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized the aura emanating from Locke.

crunch.

On the warship, a wooden door that had never been opened before slowly opened at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, a torrent of icy air poured out of the room.

The entire deck was covered in frost, and the seawater that touched the outer edge of the warship was instantly frozen into ice.

Locke raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"I never expected this ship to be full of hidden talents. Could this be the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit?"

A tall figure appeared on the deck, wearing a robe of justice and a blue hat.

He had long, curly hair and looked incredibly sexy, but he was a man.

The man stretched lazily, a hint of weariness in his eyes.

“That guy, Serslanley, is already dead. I should have woken up sooner.”

"Don't sleep in next time."

The man seemed to be talking to himself, but the confidence on Jiproki's face had returned once again.

So this was his real trump card.

Ser 350 Slanley, who was following him, was nothing more than a servant who could be summoned at will.

This is the world government.

Human life is worthless in their eyes.

Even though he was a vice admiral, he was still considered to have some status in the eyes of the world.

However, in the eyes of the World Government officials, they were merely pawns that could be discarded at will.

Locke nodded slowly.

"Looks like an interesting fellow has appeared, but I'm not alone. How about I call them out for a sparring match?"

Upon hearing this, Gibralgi's eyes widened suddenly.

After all, his greatest strength lies in Observation Haki, and he is almost at the point of being able to predict the future.

However, any external aura within a certain range will absolutely not escape the reach of one's Observation Haki.

But Locke said there were other accomplices, so why hadn't he discovered them before?

No matter how skilled someone is at concealment, they will never be able to escape their own detection.

Chapter 228: The Frost Fruit, Supernatural Awakening!

"Ignorant mortals!"

"go to hell!"

His hands were clasped together, and a large amount of frost covered the surroundings.

This terrible frost.

Everywhere it touched turned into countless ice crystals.

These ice crystals refract the sunlight.

However, the sharp edges possess terrifying destructive power.

and this.

That is the special ability that Kepke possesses.

Click.

Countless ice crystals began to shatter rapidly.

Locke slowly condensed his Conqueror's Haki outside his body.

An attack method similar to the 'Flowing Cherry Blossom' state was revealed.

Even the Kepke in front of me possesses extremely strong explosive power.

Even the vice admirals he had encountered before were completely different.

That's right.

Although Kepke is currently only a vice admiral.

But throughout the naval base, Kepke was already considered a candidate for the next admiral.

Locke gave a dismissive smile.

Does developing Devil Fruits to their fullest potential make one so confident?

He was just a vice admiral.

Before that, the position of Admiral was already vacant.

But isn't Kepke still sitting in the position of lieutenant general?

"Good luck, Lord Kepke."

"Lord Kepke, teach this guy a good lesson."

The naval soldiers standing behind watching the spectacle were already filled with admiration for Kepke.

Each of them raised their fists high.

The team's morale.

It is also constantly skyrocketing.

It felt like victory was just around the corner.

I heard the loud shouts of the soldiers behind me.

Kepke remained calm, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

That's right.

He was so confident in his abilities that he had reached a certain level of self-assurance.

Even when facing Locke.

He was absolutely certain of victory.

Whoosh!

Another icicle was thrown down from the sky.

Even super-fast speeds.

The surrounding air was being continuously compressed, producing a hissing sound as it cut through the air.

The icicle came straight at Locke's face.
