Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

His face also showed a hurried expression.

He gave a wicked smile.

"turn out to be."

"Your Highness, is this what you're planning?"

"I was completely careless just now!"

Seele's eyes widened immediately.

In her eyes.

It's actually starting to appear.

A pale blue halo.

It continues to spread outwards.

The range that the halo can reach.

It was enough to cover the entire black market.

Follow in Seele's footsteps.

Step by step.

We walked deeper into the area.

What lay ahead was...

An underground palace.

The palace was built to be incredibly dark.

It's used everywhere.

Decorations made of skulls.

She even dressed herself up in a shape resembling a wind chime.

When it sways in the wind.

The collision of bones also produces a crisp sound.

But it always makes people...

There is one.

A chilling feeling!

Locke looked at the underground palace that appeared in front of him.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that the Kingdom of Arahan, despite its outward appearance of generosity and righteousness, actually allows such a black market to exist behind the scenes."

"These skeletons."

"They're probably all human bones."

So why are so many people dying?

On this land.

Something must have happened.

And this black market still exists today.

This proves the existence of the Arakan Kingdom.

They've been turning a blind eye for a long time.

Locke still remembers it clearly.

I just killed that manager captain.

His very first words were to seek help from members of the royal family.

So, between these two.

It's impossible to say that there's no relationship.

"Xie'er."

"The Devil Fruit you mentioned is hidden here?"

Seele, standing next to her, nodded frantically, looking very excited.

He was jumping back and forth in place.

"That's right, Your Highness."

"I can sense that two Devil Fruits are hidden in the deepest part of this palace."

"There's another one that looks like a Devil Fruit, but I'm not entirely sure."

"There was a special kind of barrier around him that obstructed my view..."

Locke was somewhat surprised to receive Seele's reply.

What kind of existence is it that even Seele couldn't truly see through?

Near the palace.

The gate to the discovered underground palace.

It's locked.

Heavy chains.

It went around in circles several times.

It's probably impossible for an average person to break it open.

But these are just scrap metal.

In Locke's eyes, they were nothing but scraps.

His palm slowly moved closer and grasped two of the chains.

The muscles in his arms bulged instantly.

Its incredibly strong grip snapped the chain in two.

Countless fragments fell to the ground.

Rumble.

Rumble.

These chains probably weigh several hundred kilograms.

only.

Locke sensed something strange at that moment.

If this underground palace is the place where treasures are stored in the very center of the black market, why use such heavy chains?

Could it be to protect oneself?

Or perhaps there are some unknown, mysterious creatures underground.

To prevent him from escaping, this special method was used.

Locke shook his head.

Those complicated thoughts were put aside.

On the royal side.

I wonder when they'll send help.

Let's get our hands on the Devil Fruit first.

Push open the stone gate of the palace.

The scene inside was completely different from what was seen outside.

From the outside alone...

It resembles an underground palace that has been dormant for many years, rather than something recently completed.

However, the interior is decorated in a magnificent style.

Even the pillars around it were made of pure gold.

Countless luminous pearls and gemstones.

It was embedded in the roof.

It illuminated the entire hall.

It's absolutely stunning!
