Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

“This is only one aspect of our strength,” Locke said. “We have much more power.”

"We will protect our partners and friends, no matter the cost," Luffy said.

As the CP9 members watched the Straw Hat Pirates depart, they deeply realized the immense determination and willpower these young pirates possessed. They not only possessed unparalleled strength, but also... One CP9 member silently observed the Straw Hat Pirates' departure, understanding that these young people had demonstrated extraordinary power and resolve. Although they had lost, this battle had given them new insights, and they resolved to work even harder to improve their strength, striving for victory in the next battle.

The Straw Hat Pirates also realized that their strength still had many shortcomings and they needed to continuously improve themselves. Locke also understood during this battle that his Imperial Arms power was not omnipotent; he needed more practice and experience to better control the power of the sea element.

"Next time, we'll be even stronger!" Luffy declared loudly. "We'll become the Pirate King and protect our crew and friends."

“That’s right!” Sanji and the others also expressed their determination.

The Straw Hat Pirates continue their voyage across the ocean, seeking new adventures and challenges.

The Straw Hat Pirates continue their voyage across the sea, heading towards Enies Lobby, the World Government's territory, with the goal of rescuing Robin. On Enies Lobby, they encounter numerous Marines and CP9 members. It's a fierce battle; the Straw Hat Pirates and Rock must fight with all their might to retrieve Robin while simultaneously fending off the Marines' pursuit.

Locke said resolutely, "We cannot allow our comrades to suffer such injustice. I will use the power of my Imperial Arms to destroy Enies Lobby."

Luffy nodded solemnly: "Rock is right, we must get Robin back and bring her back to us."

"Then what should we do?" Nami asked. "Enies Lobby is heavily guarded; how can we get in?"

Locke looked at everyone, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I will use seawater elements to create a path that will allow us to enter Enies Lobby."

"Great idea!" Usopp exclaimed. "That way we can go in."

The Straw Hat Pirates set off quickly, and Locke, controlling the water element, created a path to Enies Lobby. They carefully navigated through numerous obstacles and finally arrived at the place where Robin was being held.

"Robin!" Luffy shouted, "We're here to save you!"

Upon hearing Luffy's voice, Robin said with tears streaming down her face, "You really came."

The Straw Hat Pirates engaged in a fierce battle with the guards of Enies Lobby, with Locke using seawater elemental attacks to breach the guards' defenses. Although they suffered heavy losses, they did not give up and continued to fight.

Chapter 372: This guy is too strong!

"Rock, we must break this deadlock as soon as possible!" Luffy shouted.

"I will do my best!" Locke said with determination.

Locke, wielding the power of seawater, unleashed a powerful attack that instantly destroyed a portion of Enies Lobby. This attack not only shocked the Straw Hat Pirates but also greatly surprised the guards of Enies Lobby.

"This guy is too strong!" Sanji exclaimed.

"I never imagined his power was so great," Nami exclaimed in admiration.

"Come with me!" Luffy shouted, leading his crew to rush toward the place where Robin was being held.

As the Straw Hat Pirates fought, the guards of Enies Lobby gradually retreated. They charged forward relentlessly, fighting and overcoming obstacle after obstacle. Finally, they arrived at the place where Robin was being held.

"Robin!" Luffy shouted, "We're here to save you!"

When Robin saw Luffy and the others, a flicker of surprise and gratitude crossed her eyes. She knew she wasn't alone, because she had this group of passionate and courageous companions.

“Luffy…” Robin said, her voice trembling slightly.

"We won't let you get hurt again." Luffy turned to look at the others. "Let's fight together, for our crew and friends."

The Straw Hat Pirates once again engaged in fierce battle, charging into the fray time and again with courage and determination. Locke used his (chag) sea elemental power to attack the guarding lines, his strength growing ever stronger.

"This guy's strength is simply unbelievable!" the guards exclaimed.

But the Straw Hat Pirates didn't give up. They continued fighting, continued striving, and continued to fight for their crew and friends. Locke unleashed a massive jet of water that shook the entire Enies Lobby. However, this attack also took a heavy toll on Locke; his body began to gradually slip out of control.

"Rock!" Luffy shouted, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Locke's body began to sway.

“We must get out of here quickly,” Nami said.

The Straw Hat Pirates began their rapid retreat, successfully escaping the pursuit on Enies Lobby. Although they had won, Locke had fallen unconscious due to overuse.

“Rock…” Luffy said softly.

The Straw Hat Pirates took Locke to a small island where he recuperated for a while. Although Locke's injuries were severe, his willpower and determination allowed him to recover quickly.

"Thank you everyone, I never imagined my power would be so great," Locke said gratefully. "I am also honored to be your partner."

“We’re all friends, there’s no need to be so polite,” Luffy said.

“Rock, your Imperial Arms is too powerful. We must control it better,” Nami reminded him.

“Yes, I will practice hard and better control my power,” Locke said firmly.

After a period of rest, the Straw Hat Pirates set off again, this time heading to Carnival Island, because Brook wanted to find his lost shadow.

“I must find my shadow, or I will not be able to die whole,” Brooke said solemnly.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely help you find your shadow," Luffy said.

Chapter 373: Imperial Arms Power, Power of the Sea!

So the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Carnival Island, a place full of fun and revelry, but also hiding many dangers and conspiracies.

"It seems this island isn't very peaceful." Sanji frowned.

“That’s right, we have to be careful,” Nami warned.

In their search for Brook's shadow, the Straw Hat Pirates encountered many challenges, facing various powerful enemies and traps. It was then that Rock began to display his strength, easily defeating many foes using the power of his Imperial Arms.

"Rock is really amazing!" Usopp exclaimed.

"I never imagined his power was so terrifying," Sanji couldn't help but exclaim.

The Straw Hat Pirates continue their journey, growing stronger with each battle. In their search for Brook's shadow, they gradually uncover a conspiracy hidden on Carnival Island. It turns out that Moria, the island's master, plans to use Brook's shadow to regain his power.

"We must stop him," Luffy said firmly.

The Straw Hat Pirates engaged in a fierce battle with Moria, who used the power of his Devil Fruit to grow to an enormous size. His unparalleled strength put unprecedented pressure on the Straw Hat Pirates.

"This guy... is actually so powerful!" Locke's expression turned serious.

"Don't give up, we can definitely defeat him!" Luffy shouted.

The Straw Hat Pirates launched a fierce offensive, and Locke used the power of his Imperial Arm to create a powerful current of water, engaging in a fierce battle with Moria's power.

The battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and Moria lasted a long time, and the entire island was shaken by their fight. Locke and the others attacked relentlessly, while Moria countered continuously, making for an exceptionally intense scene.

"Rock, we have to find a way to defeat him!" Luffy shouted anxiously.

“Yes, we must work together to defeat him.” Locke took a deep breath and composed himself.

“You rats, how dare you challenge me!” Moria sneered. “Your strength is nothing to me.”

"How dare you say our strength is insufficient?" Sanji shouted angrily.

"We are the Straw Hat Pirates, and we will never give up!" Usopp shouted.

The Straw Hat Pirates' voices echoed across the entire island; their determination and courage were astonishing. Locke and the others launched a new attack, their assaults becoming increasingly rhythmic and powerful.

"We must rely on the island's power to defeat him!" Locke shouted.

..

His body began to radiate a dazzling light, and a powerful energy surged from his palms. This energy interacted with the seawater behind him, forming a massive vortex. Moria's expression changed drastically; he felt his power being suppressed by this energy.

"What kind of power is this?!" Moria exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the power of my Imperial Arms, the power of the sea!" Locke shouted.

His Imperial Arms not only allows him to control water, but also to unleash its full power. His attacks relentlessly struck Moria, causing him to lose his balance. The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates also joined the attack on Moria, their assault like a storm, forcing Moria to divert his attention to deal with the six enemies.

Chapter 374: The Powerful Merman Force!

"This guy... is actually so powerful!" Moria's face darkened.

He felt his power being suppressed and gradually withering away. The Straw Hat Pirates' attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Moria began to feel that he could no longer sustain it.

“This is impossible… How could I possibly lose to a bunch of mice!” Moria roared.

However, he had reached his limit and could no longer fight "460". The Straw Hat Pirates ultimately defeated him, and Moria's conspiracy was exposed. Brook regained his shadow, and everyone spent a joyful night together.

"Thank you for helping me find my true self," Brooke said gratefully.

"It's what we should do, we're good friends," Luffy said with a smile.

Locke also gained the respect and recognition of others, and his Imperial Arms became a major weapon for the Straw Hat Pirates. They continued forward, exploring unknown adventures and challenges, and this battle brought them even closer together.

The Straw Hat Pirates' adventure continues as they leave Carnival Island and head to the New Fish-Man Sea. This is the border between fish-men and humans, a place rife with conflict and strife. The Straw Hat Pirates' goal is to defeat Hody Jones, the leader of the New Fish-Man Pirates, and contribute to peace between humans and fish-men.

“This place is too dangerous,” Sanji said, frowning. “We have to be careful.”

“That’s right, we need to stay vigilant at all times,” Nami reminded her.

Locke sensed the danger, but his heart was filled with courage and determination. He knew that only when facing a powerful enemy could he reveal his true strength.

"Let's fight together!" Locke shouted.

The Straw Hat Pirates continued their journey, growing stronger with each battle. Locke's Teigu power became a major trump card for them; he used the power of seawater to easily defeat many enemies.

"Rock is really amazing!" Usopp exclaimed.
