Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"Hmph, the Straw Hat Pirates?" Kaido's voice rang out. "You're still too young."

Locke and the others were not intimidated by Kaido's words. They continued sailing forward, preparing for a thrilling battle with Kaido's fleet.

Soon, Locke and the others discovered Kaido's fleet. Their ships were enormous and equipped with various high-tech weapons and equipment. Kaido's strength was astonishing and awe-inspiring; he wielded a massive barrel of wine seemingly unconcerned, but Locke and the others knew that Kaido was incredibly powerful and a formidable enemy.

"Prepare for battle!" Captain Thatch shouted, and everyone took their fighting stances, awaiting Kaido's attack.

Kaido didn't keep them waiting long; his fleet launched an attack, firing various weapons and equipment at the Straw Hat Pirates' ships. Locke and the others dodged the attacks while simultaneously counterattacking Kaido's fleet, and the battle grew increasingly fierce.

"Ace, you're in charge of attacking Kaido!" Captain Thatch gave the order. "Rock and Brook, you're in charge of weakening his ships."

Upon receiving the order, Locke and Brook immediately sprang into action. Utilizing the environment and terrain, they employed a series of tactics and strategies to throw Kaido's ships into chaos and turmoil.

Chapter 299: You're not strong enough!

"This current and these waves are absolutely amazing!"

Locke shouted happily.

Brooke excitedly joined the battle, shouting, "Now's our chance!"

He began to play beautiful music, using its power to disrupt Kaido's fleet. Kaido's soldiers began to panic; many were captivated by the music and unable to concentrate.

With Locke and Brook working together, Kaido's ships began to suffer heavy losses, and their attacks and defenses became chaotic. At this moment, Ace seized the opportunity to launch an attack, wielding his flaming sword and slashing fiercely at Kaido.

Kaido was not to be outdone. The barrel in his hand suddenly became unusually heavy, and instantly transformed into a mutated form of a Devil Fruit.

He charged at Ace and punched him in the chest, sending him flying.

Upon seeing this, Captain Sachi immediately issued a new order: "Ace has been repelled; we need to reorganize our defenses!"

Locke and Brook began patrolling the ship while searching for Kaido's location. They discovered Kaido charging towards their vessel. Locke reacted immediately, drawing his weapon and preparing for a fierce battle with Kaido.

"You Straw Hat Pirates dare to challenge me, Kaido!"

Kaido roared angrily, "You will all die by my hand!"

Locke did not answer Kaido's question; he silently watched Kaido, preparing to meet his attack.

Kaido swung his massive weapon and slashed fiercely at Locke.

Locke dodged Kaido's attacks while simultaneously launching a counterattack, striking Kaido hard with his weapon.

The duel between Locke and Kaido became exceptionally intense.

Locke launched a series of attacks, while Kaido transformed into a mutated form of his Devil Fruit, using his immense strength and defense to continuously counter Locke's attacks.

"You're not strong enough!"

Kaido mocked Locke, "You Straw Hat Pirates are nothing but ants."

Locke was not affected by Kaido's words. He became even more determined and confident. He knew that he had to defeat Kaido, otherwise they would not be able to complete their mission.

"I will prove to you that I am not an ant!"

Locke gritted his teeth and said, "I will defeat you!"

He brandished his weapon and launched another attack on Kaido.

Kaido's Devil Fruit mutation has become increasingly powerful, and he has been able to block almost all of Locke's attacks.

But Locke did not give up. He began to try to use his various skills and tactics to find Kaido's weaknesses.

"Your defense is very strong, but your speed is not fast enough!"

Locke pondered in his mind,

"I need to gain the upper hand in speed!"

He began to employ more flexible tactics and techniques, utilizing his speed and agility to gradually gain the upper hand.

Kaido's attacks were powerful, but Locke's speed made it impossible for him to completely defend against them.

Locke began launching a series of attacks on Kaido, each of which dealt a heavy blow to Kaido.

"That kid's really fast!"

Kaido exclaimed in surprise, "But I still have a way to defeat him!" (Six.)

Chapter 300: Kaido's Powerful Abilities!

He began to use even more vicious attacks, wielding a huge weapon and unleashing his full offensive power.

Locke began to feel immense pressure; each dodge required more effort and skill.

"No, I have to find a way to defeat him!" Locke muttered to himself. "I can't lose to him!"

Locke felt his body starting to wear down, but he didn't give up. He knew he had to persevere to the end.

Kaido's attacks grew increasingly vicious, and Locke was covered in wounds, but he gritted his teeth and continued to attack Kaido. "You little guy, you've got guts."

Kaido sneered, "But you're still just a child."

“Although I’m not old, I’m already an adult!” Locke replied through gritted teeth. “I won’t let you defeat me!”

Kaido's attacks grew increasingly ferocious, and he was close to cornering Locke. But just then, Locke suddenly used a new technique. He leaped up, used his own weapon to knock Kaido's weapon away, and then swiftly launched an attack from behind Kaido.

Kaido hadn't expected Locke to use this tactic. He was severely injured by Locke's attack and collapsed to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

"Hahaha, it seems I've won!" Locke shouted happily.

"You've got some skill, kid," Kaido said with difficulty, "but you still can't defeat me!"

Just then, Kaido suddenly stood up from the ground and transformed into an even more powerful form. The shocking power caused the entire sea to shake.

"What the hell is this?" Locke exclaimed in surprise. "Kaido, you have this kind of ability?"

Kaido roared, his body growing larger and more terrifying.

Locke felt that he was no longer facing a human being, but a monster-like being.

"This guy is even stronger than before!" Captain Satch exclaimed. "What should we do?"

Captain Thatch frowned deeply; he knew perfectly well that they were facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. However, they could not give up, for the honor and future of the entire Straw Hat Pirates depended on the outcome of this battle…

Locke gritted his teeth; though his body was exhausted, he knew this was their last chance. He glanced back at his companions and saw their determined eyes encouraging him. Locke took a deep breath and said, "We must find Kaido's weakness to defeat him."

Ace struggled to his feet, his eyes still filled with determination despite his severe injuries. He said, "Locke, I will support you, we will fight together."

Locke and Ace's words energized the others, and they began to focus their efforts on finding Kaido's weaknesses.

“Kaido’s mutated form is very powerful (0.6), but it also has its weaknesses,” Brook said. “We need to find it and then use it to defeat him.”

“Then let’s look for it!” Locke said. “We must concentrate and observe his every move and change.”

Everyone began searching for Kaido's weaknesses during the battle, paying close attention to every detail.

Chapter 301: Hahaha, Kaido, you've lost!

Captain Satch also began to observe carefully, knowing that the outcome of this battle would depend on details and skill.

Time passed second by second, and the battle grew increasingly fierce, with both sides' attacks and defenses becoming more and more frenzied.

Kaido's mutated form kept changing as he used his superhuman strength and speed to attack the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

The Straw Hat Pirates were not to be outdone. They used various tactics and techniques to attack Kaido, hoping to find his weakness.

Just then, Locke suddenly noticed a weakness in Kaido's mutated form. "I've found his weakness!" Locke shouted excitedly.

"Quick, tell us!" Brooke asked impatiently.

Locke pointed to Kaido's feet and said, "There are some cracks under his feet. That's because when he transformed into a Devil Fruit, the ship's planks couldn't support his weight."

The others also noticed this opening and immediately began attacking Kaido's feet.

Although Kaido's mutated form was powerful, his footing became extremely fragile and was quickly destroyed by the attack. Kaido lost his balance and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

"This is our chance!" Captain Satch shouted. "Attack!"

Upon hearing the order, the Straw Hat Pirates immediately launched a fierce attack on Kaido.

Kaido fought back desperately, but he had lost his balance and his attacks became chaotic.

Locke was overjoyed and thanked Ace for his support, "Thank you, Brother Ace! We'll fight together and won't let Kaido escape!"

Captain Thatch clenched his fists, determined to launch a renewed offensive. "We must concentrate our firepower and defeat Kaido!" Every member of the Straw Hat Pirates was filled with renewed resolve. They began to adjust their formation, preparing for the final attack. Kaido was surrounded in the center of the sea, encircled by the Straw Hat Pirates' ships.

He felt his strength being depleted, and he knew he had to escape this predicament as soon as possible.

"These guys won't let me leave!" Kaido roared, trying to break the Straw Hat Pirates' blockade with his weapons and the power of his Devil Fruit.

Locke led the Straw Hat Pirates in a series of attacks against Kaido.

They utilized the environment and terrain, employing a series of tactics and strategies to continuously weaken Kaido's power.

Kaido's body is getting weaker and weaker, and his attack and defense capabilities are also declining.

He felt that his victory was irretrievable.

"This guy is too powerful!" Kaido roared. "I have to get out of here as soon as possible!"
