Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

“Rock, we’ve defeated these guys, what’s next?” Usopp asked.

“We need a bigger goal,” Locke replied. “We want to become the Pirate King!”

"One Piece?" Usopp asked in surprise. "Isn't that difficult?"

“Of course it’s difficult, but we must move towards this goal,” Locke said firmly. “We need stronger enemies to test our strength.”

“That’s right!” Zoro agreed. “We need stronger enemies to improve our strength.”

"So where do we go next?" Usopp asked...

“Let’s go find Beckman!” Locke said. “He’s one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and possesses immense strength.”

“Beckman?” Usopp thought for a moment. “I heard he’s on an island in the New World.”

"Then let's set off immediately!" Locke commanded. "We must find Beckman and challenge him!"

So Locke and his crew embarked on a new journey, crossing the seas and encountering countless difficulties and challenges, but they never gave up and kept moving forward.

Eventually, they arrived at an island in the New World, which was Beckman's territory.

“This is Beckman’s territory,” Locke said. “We need to be careful; he could appear at any moment.”

“I sensed his presence,” Zoro said. “He’s on the mountain over there at 0.6.”

So Locke and his crew headed up the mountain. They sensed Beckman's powerful aura and couldn't help but feel a little fear.

"Who are you?" Beckman appeared before them, his eyes filled with authority and murderous intent.

"We've come to challenge you!" Locke shouted. "We want to test our strength!"

Chapter 266: Never Admit Defeat!

"Hmph, you guys have big mouths!" Beckman sneered. "Do you even know what you're doing?"

"We know we're here to become even stronger pirates!" Locke said firmly.

“Fine, since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish!” Beckman said, drawing his sword.

Locke and his crew immediately went into battle mode and launched an attack on Beckman.

Beckman was indeed very strong, but Locke and his 27 crew members were not to be outdone. They used their strength and skills to defeat Beckman's attacks time and time again.

"You lot, that's enough!" Beckman roared. "I'll show you what real strength is!"

The battle continued, with Locke and his crew dodging Beckman's attacks while launching their own.

"You guys actually have some skill!" Beckman sneered, "but you're still a long way off!"

"Aren't we strong enough?" Locke asked.

“Of course not!” Beckman said. “You pirates are too arrogant and don’t know how insignificant your strength is.”

"Then we must work even harder to improve our strength!" Locke said. "We will not give up!"

“Alright, since you’re so persistent, then I’ll show you my true strength!” Beckman said, his body beginning to emanate a powerful aura.

"This guy's amazing!" Usopp exclaimed. "We need to be careful!"

Locke and his crew also sensed Beckman's powerful aura, and they knew they were facing a very powerful enemy.

But they did not give up; on the contrary, they launched an even more intense attack in an attempt to defeat Beckman.

Beckman continued to launch attacks; his swordsmanship was superb, and every move he made put Locke and his crew in great danger.

But Locke and his crew were not defeated; on the contrary, they fought with increasing ferocity and strength.

"How can these guys be so strong?" Beckman asked in surprise.

"We are not ordinary pirates!" Locke said. "We are the ones who will become the Pirate King, and our strength is far greater than you imagine!"

"Pirate King? You're all a bunch of fools!" Beckman sneered. "You'll never become the Pirate King because you're simply not strong enough!"

“You’re really arrogant!” Locke said. “We’ve already proven our strength, don’t you believe me?”

“Fine, I’ll let you prove it again!” Beckman said, his body beginning to emanate an even more powerful aura.

Locke and his crew were not to be outdone; they launched an even more powerful attack in an attempt to defeat Beckman.

The battle intensified, destroying the surrounding trees and rocks, with flying debris and wood chips swirling in the air.

Beckman's attacks grew increasingly fierce, but Locke and his crew also grew stronger, and the two forces became ever closer.

"This is my final attack!" Beckman shouted. "Are you ready?"

“We’re ready!” Locke said. “We won’t lose!”

Beckman launched his most powerful attack, a powerful sword aura shooting out from his sword and rushing directly towards Locke and his crew.

The battle continued, with Locke and his crew constantly clashing with Beckman. Locke dodged Beckman's attacks while trying to launch his own. He knew he had to end the fight quickly, or he and his crew might be defeated.

Chapter 267: The Last Trump Card!

"You pirates are too arrogant. You don't know how insignificant your strength is," Beckman continued to mock Locke and his crew.

"We are not ordinary pirates!" Locke retorted. "We are the ones who will become the Pirate King, and our strength is far greater than you imagine!"

Beckman scoffed. "Pirate King? You bunch of idiots! You'll never become the Pirate King because you're simply not strong enough!"

“You’re really arrogant!” Locke said. “We’ve already proven our strength, don’t you believe me?”

“Fine, I’ll let you prove it again!” Beckman said, his body beginning to emanate an even more powerful aura.

Locke and his crew were not to be outdone; they launched an even more powerful attack in an attempt to defeat Beckman.

“We’re ready!” Locke said. “We won’t lose!”

Beckman launched his most powerful attack, a powerful sword aura shooting out from his sword and rushing directly towards Locke and his crew.

Locke and his crew reacted immediately, activating their defenses. Locke's body glowed with golden light, becoming indestructible. His crew also unleashed various defensive skills, attempting to withstand Beckman's attack.

The sword energy slammed into Locke and his crew, creating a massive explosion. The surrounding air was thrown into disarray. However, Locke and his crew were not defeated. Their defenses were incredibly strong, and Beckman's attack failed to inflict significant damage.

"Impossible!" Beckman looked at Locke and his crew in astonishment. "You were actually able to withstand my attack?"

“We told you, we’re not ordinary pirates!” Locke said. “We’re the ones who will become the Pirate King, and our strength is far greater than you imagine!”

Locke was quite surprised that he and his crew had successfully withstood Beckman's strongest attack. He began to reassess the pirates' strength, becoming increasingly wary.

“You are indeed stronger than I imagined,” Beckman said, “but you haven’t won yet. I have more trump cards up my sleeve.”

“We know,” Locke replied. “We won’t hold back any of our trump cards either. We will defeat you with our full strength!”

"Alright, then let me see just how strong you really are!" Beckman shouted, and his body began to emanate an even stronger aura.

Locke and his crew were not to be outdone; they launched an even more powerful attack in an attempt to defeat Beckman. Their bodies emanated a powerful aura, and the surrounding air became tense.

The battle intensified, with Locke and his crew unleashing a barrage of skills in an attempt to defeat Beckman. Beckman, however, was equally resilient, his attacks growing increasingly fierce, making it difficult for Locke and his crew to cope.

However, Locke and his crew are all destined to become the Pirate King, and their strength is immense. They continuously exert their power in an attempt to defeat Beckman.

"You're still too weak!" Beckman mocked Locke and his crew. "You'll never become the Pirate King!"

"You arrogant bastard!" Locke glared at Beckman. "We've already proven our strength, and you still don't believe us?"

“We…won’t lose!” Locke gritted his teeth, and his body began to emit a dazzling golden light.

"What is this?!" Beckman looked at Locke in surprise, a hint of fear in his eyes.

"This is my strongest power!" Locke shouted, his body becoming indestructible.

Locke's body radiated a golden light, exuding a powerful aura. Beckman's expression turned solemn; he felt the pressure emanating from Locke, a power he had never experienced before.

“This is…” Beckman stared at Locke in disbelief, feeling his own power pale in comparison.

"You still don't want to admit defeat?" Locke sneered. "You arrogant fool, who do you think you are? You think you can defeat us? You're too naive!"

Beckman gritted his teeth, his body radiating an even stronger aura; he was unwilling to lose to Locke and his crew.
