Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"Hehehe~~~"

Esdeath crossed her long, beautiful legs, revealing a playful smile, and said with amusement, "The World Government dispatched a special combat force to attack the Rocks Pirates, but! In the end, they were completely annihilated."

Locke calmly replied, "It's not surprising. Given the strength of the Rocks Pirates, the World Government is clearly just putting on an act. How could they possibly be a match for the Rocks Pirates?"

Locke was not a muscle-bound brute.

joke!

His royal education was very successful. He started learning at the age of 3 and learned in just 12 years what others would take decades to learn.

Surely no one really thinks royalty is just a bunch of good-for-nothing playboys?

That's a Celestial Dragon, and an ordinary one at that.

The true elite Celestial Dragons all hold high positions.

"The World Government's attitude toward these member states is that it's a good thing to destroy some of them," Locke said casually. "After all, although destroying the member states will reduce the amount of celestial gold we reap, it will be more conducive to our rule over the world, rather than relying solely on balancing power to rule the world as we are now."

Locke found this perfectly normal; he knew very well what the World Government relied on to rule the world!

It's purely about so-called balance!

Maintaining order across the four seas.

Maintaining the Great Sea Route.

Maintaining the new world.

They maintained both the pirates and the nation.

It maintains the nation and its power.

It maintains the balance of everything.

This is how the World Government rules the world! By doing so, the world is kept in a state of chaos yet balance, with everything under its control—that's enough.

"Yes!"

"but……"

Esdeath smiled and said, "Your Highness, these matters have nothing to do with us. The Rocks Pirates are about to return."

"Ok!"

Locke nodded.

Chapter 27: Whitebeard's Invitation, Challenge!

Day two.

"what?!"

Locke squinted at his boss and asked with a smile, "Boss, are you kidding me?"

"joke?"

"Hahaha~~~"

The shopkeeper grinned menacingly and said, "My wine costs 1 million Berries a bottle. If you don't want to buy it, you don't have to!"

"Poor guy!"

"Get the hell away from me!"

"Oh~~~"

Locke nodded knowingly upon hearing this.

after all!

Early this morning.

The Rocks Pirates' actions have spread throughout the world, and it's instantly clear that Hatchinos is the Rocks Pirates' territory, and the Rocks Pirates are now invincible.

These pirates, feeling that they were also people of Hatchinos, naturally became arrogant.

"what?!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"what?!"

With this angry roar, Kaido let out a frenzied howl, his entire being resembling a raging dragon.

"Yo!"

Locke greeted Kaido, saying, "You bastard, you've been tricked."

Kaido said unhappily, "This trash actually wants to sell me for 10 billion Berries."

"You're really embarrassing!" Locke mocked. "This guy only sold it to me for 1 million Berries!"

"What do you mean?" Kaido instantly flew into a rage, his voice utterly brutal. "Do you think I'm inferior to this guy?"

"roll!"

"Get the hell out of here!"

"you……"

Click!

The pirate standing before Locke had his spine ripped out almost instantly. Locke looked around at the pirates, a wide grin spreading across his face as he excitedly said, "Seriously! I'm really excited too! What are you guys thinking!"

"Do you think the strength of the Rocks Pirates has anything to do with you?"

"what?!"

With that ferocious voice, Locke charged into the midst of the pirates who were watching the spectacle without hesitation.

joke!

How dare you watch me make a fool of myself?

Okay!

Then you will have to pay the price, a terrible price of blood and tears, death! That will be the most terrifying price.

"Worororo~~~"

With a maniacal laugh, Kaido drew his spiked club and began slaughtering the pirates around him.

joke!

How dare you mess with me?

You guys are just asking for trouble!

As the two began their killing spree, the surrounding pirates scattered in all directions.

At this moment.

They really wanted to curse, at this moment! They were truly crying, wondering why they had brought this upon themselves. They all understood, and they were very clear that their strength was simply insufficient, while these two brats were genuine lunatics.

They wouldn't care about the Rocks Pirates, let alone provoke those two lunatics.

That's just courting death!

Just as Locke said, if you're trying to pull off a big show by pretending to be someone else, you need to find someone else to do it. When you're facing such a terrifying madman, it's really meaningless.

Locke's ruthlessness is absolutely beyond question.

Kaido is also a ruthless and vicious person.

These two people were incredibly ruthless.

Hand up and down!

They easily dealt with all the pirates around them, and things just got chaotic.

the other side.

Wow~~~

Wow~~~

A small pirate ship gradually approached the shore, and a figure with a crescent-shaped beard, golden hair, and a huge naginata walked out step by step. He squinted slightly, looking at the flames rising from Hatchinos.

He then smiled, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.

"Gulala~~~"

"This is really interesting!"

"Are those two little devils already making a ruckus so early in the morning?"

"interesting!"

He strode forward, naginata in hand, toward the depths of Hatchinos.

Whitebeard: Edward Newgate!!!

Bounty: 30 billion Berries!
