Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

“We only fight for what we believe is right,” Luffy replied. “We believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to rescue Ace.”

"Then let me see just how strong you really are," the naval admiral said, drawing his weapon and charging towards the Straw Hat Pirates.

Locke stood behind the Straw Hat Pirates, watching the battle between the Marine Admirals and Luffy. He knew it was time for him to step in. Using his Imperial Arms, he controlled the sea and wind to support Luffy. He created a raging storm and waves, repelling the enemy and giving Luffy an opportunity to attack.

Luffy gathered all his strength and unleashed a powerful punch, striking the Marine Admiral fiercely. The Admiral screamed as he was sent flying, crashing into a wall and leaving a large hole.

"That's incredible!" Chopper and Usopp exclaimed.

"We can't waste any more time, let's go rescue Ace!" Luffy shouted.

The Straw Hat Pirates continued forward, passing through the final barrier and arriving at the place where Ace was imprisoned. They discovered that Ace was imprisoned in a seemingly unbreakable iron cage. They used all their strength, but could not open the cage.

“Locke, can you help me?” Luffy asked, looking at Locke.

"Don't worry, leave it to me," Locke replied, while simultaneously beginning to utilize the power of his Imperial Arms.

He controlled the sea and wind, channeling his power into the iron cage. The cage began to tremble, and cracks appeared on its surface. Locke's power grew stronger and stronger, and the cage finally collapsed, allowing Ace to emerge.

“Thank you, Locke,” Ace said gratefully.

"You're welcome," Locke replied with a smile.

The Straw Hat Pirates successfully rescued Ace, but they still faced a huge challenge: how to escape Marine Headquarters. They began to rush outwards with all their might. Locke used his Teigu power to control the sea and wind, creating a passage that helped the Straw Hat Pirates escape danger.

Chapter 382: You pirates have no chance of winning!

"Ace, are you alright?" Luffy asked worriedly.

“I’m fine, thanks to your help,” Ace replied gratefully.

"We can't just run away like this. We have to avenge our brothers who bravely sacrificed themselves!" Luffy said, his eyes shining with determination.

"Brothers, follow me!" Luffy led the Straw Hat Pirates in an attack on Marine Headquarters.

Locke knew his power was now crucial, so he began to use his Imperial Arms to control the sea and wind, providing support for the Straw Hat Pirates. He created a raging storm and waves to repel the enemies, giving Luffy and the others an opportunity to launch an attack.

Chapter 507: The Straw Hat Pirates and the Marines engaged in a fierce battle, neither side willing to back down. With Locke's help, the Straw Hat Pirates gradually gained the upper hand. They defeated Marine soldiers one by one, eventually reaching the highest point of Marine Headquarters.

There, they encountered the powerful naval commander, Yakaig.

"You pirates, how dare you break in!" Yakaig roared.

"We're just fighting for what we believe is right," Luffy said firmly. "We can't let our brothers die in vain; we must avenge them."

"How could you foolish pirates possibly compare to us righteous marines?" Akeg sneered.

"Justice?" Locke said disdainfully. "You commit murder and arson, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves righteous?"

"Shut up, you despicable pirates!" Akeg glared at Locke.

The Straw Hat Pirates and Arkegaard engaged in a fierce battle. Locke controlled the sea and wind to help Luffy and the others fight Arkegaard. The two sides exchanged blows, fighting fiercely until the sky darkened.

"Luffy, watch out!" Zoro shouted, launching an attack on a Marine soldier.

"No problem!" Luffy replied, charging towards Arkegaard.

Arkeg launched his attack, emanating a powerful aura that put immense pressure on the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy exerted all his abilities and fought with all his might, but he was still unable to defeat Arkeg.

"How is this possible?!" Luffy gritted his teeth and launched a desperate attack.

"Give up, you pirates, you have no chance of winning!" Yakaig laughed loudly.

Seeing Luffy and Arkegat's battle, Locke knew it was time for him to intervene. He used the power of his Imperial Arms to control the sea and wind, creating a raging storm that drove Arkegat back.

"Brother Locke, thank you!" Luffy shouted.

"You're welcome," Locke replied with a smile.

Locke knew he couldn't let Akeg escape like this, or the Straw Hat Pirates' efforts would be in vain. He used the power of his Imperial Arms to control the seawater and wind, creating a whirlpool that swallowed Akeg whole.

"You pirates, you despicable bastards, how could you..." Yakaig shouted in terror, but quickly disappeared into the whirlpool.

Seeing Akeg defeated, Akainu immediately led the Marines in pursuit of the Straw Hat Pirates. The Straw Hat Pirates and the Marines were once again embroiled in fierce combat, the scene becoming even more chaotic and dangerous.

Locke, controlling the sea and wind, continued to support the Straw Hat Pirates. He created a raging storm and waves, repelling the Marines and clearing a path for the Straw Hats. Luffy and the others escaped along the path, but Akainu had already caught up with them.

Chapter 383: We must fight for Ace!

"Luffy, you guys go first, I'll deal with Akainu!" Ace shouted.

"Brother Ace, you must be careful!" Luffy said worriedly.

Ace faced Akainu alone, and the two exchanged blows, each gaining an advantage. However, Akainu's strength was simply too great, and Ace was unable to gain the upper hand. In the end, Ace was unfortunately struck by Akainu.

Akainu sneered, "You pirate, you've committed murder and arson, your crimes are heinous, there's only one fate for you, and that is death!"

Ace stared resolutely at the naval admiral, showing no weakness or fear. He knew this might be the last moment of his life, but he would never yield or bow to anyone.

"Why should I apologize to you?" Ace straightened up and uttered these words with all his might.

"You damned pirate, you have no idea what you're saying!" The Marine Admiral glared at Ace.

"I know I will fight for my dream, I will fight for my brothers, and even if my life comes to an end, I will not regret my choice." Ace's voice was full of determination and resolve.

He exuded a powerful aura, the energy he unleashed with all his might. His hands were bound by shackles, but he was not restrained; he stretched out his hands and tore the shackles apart with all his might.

"You navy people, you can take away my freedom, you can take away my life, but you can't take away my dream!" Ace shouted, unleashing his final attack with all his might.

His body transformed into flames, burning with his last strength. His body shrank smaller and smaller until it became a tiny ball of flame, drifting through the air. He gave his life, sacrificing his final strength to buy the Straw Hat Pirates a chance to escape.

"Ace!!" Luffy roared, tears streaming down his face.

The Straw Hat Pirates and the Marine Admirals were all moved by his bravery. Ace sacrificed his life to ensure the Straw Hat Pirates' escape, and his heroic spirit will forever be etched in their hearts.

"We will fight for Ace!" Luffy shouted, wiping away his tears, and charged at the Marines, transforming the Straw Hat Pirates' anger into boundless power.

Locke also felt the grief brought by Ace's sacrifice, but he knew that now was not the time for mourning. He used the power of his Imperial Arms to control the sea and wind, providing support for the Straw Hat Pirates. He created towering storms and waves, granting the Straw Hat Pirates boundless power.

Thanks to Ace's heroic sacrifice and Rock's Teigu power, the Straw Hat Pirates finally defeated the Marines. They successfully escaped from Marine Headquarters.

..... 0 .......

During their escape from Marine Headquarters, Locke and the Straw Hat Pirates faced a series of challenges and difficulties. They encountered some powerful enemies, but were all defeated by Locke's Teigu powers. During this time, they also forged a deep friendship and trust.

"Rock, you're amazing!" Luffy said to Locke. "Without you, we wouldn't have been able to defeat those Marines."

“Hehe, it’s what I should do,” Locke replied with a smile. “We need to work together to defeat those guys.”

“That’s right!” Zoro agreed. “We’re in this together, fighting and moving forward together.” (Six.)

Chapter 384: The Merfolk's Territory!

“That’s right!” Usopp chimed in. “We’ll walk this path together until we achieve our dream.”

Locke and the Straw Hat Pirates went through many hardships and challenges together, and their friendship and trust grew stronger. During their escape, they encountered many difficulties, but they successfully overcame each obstacle by supporting and helping each other.

"You despicable pirates, how could you possibly escape!" the Marine admiral roared as he chased after the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Rock Brothers, what should we do?" Luffy asked.

“I’ll handle them,” Locke replied with a smile.

He used the power of his Imperial Arms to control the sea and wind, creating a massive wall of water to block the Marine soldiers. He also created a whirlpool to pull the Marine ships into it. The power of his Imperial Arms instilled immense fear and an unstoppable force in his enemies.

"Who are you, you bastard?" the naval admiral glared at Locke.

“I am Locke, and this is my territory,” Locke replied calmly.

He relentlessly used the power of his Imperial Arms to create torrential storms, instantly destroying Navy ships. His power was boundless, and his resolve unwavering.

"Rock Brother, you're really amazing!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Hehe, this is far from over, I still have a long way to go," Locke replied with a smile. "We still have many difficulties to face, but as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome them."

“That’s right!” Robin agreed. “We are a team, fighting together and growing together.”

The Straw Hat Pirates and Rock continued their journey into the New World, arriving at Fish-Man Island, a mysterious island inhabited by fish-men. The island was filled with strange creatures and unusual sights, filling the Straw Hat Pirates with curiosity and excitement.

"Wow, this place is amazing!" Chopper jumped up excitedly. "There are so many strange fish and plants."

“Yes, the creatures and environment here are indeed very different from the world we are familiar with,” Robin said casually. “I want to learn more about the history and culture of this island.”

"We still need to be careful, after all, this is fishman territory," Zoro warned. "If we anger them, we'll be in trouble."

"Don't worry, we're not here to cause trouble..." Luffy replied with a smile, "We're just here to find our crewmates."

The Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Fish-Man Island to find Bagel, the Fish-Man who had been captured by another pirate crew. They knew Bagel was on the island and being held captive in a secret location. They decided to launch an operation to locate Bagel.

During their search for the bagel, the Straw Hat Pirates encountered challenges and difficulties from the Fish-Men. They discovered that the Fish-Men on the island harbored extreme hostility and disgust towards humans; they were unwilling to allow humans to come to the island, much less interact with them.

"You humans, what do you want?" a fish-man chieftain angrily rebuked the Straw Hat Pirates 0.6 crew. "You've come to our territory and disturbed our lives."

"We're just here to find our crewmates, and we won't hurt anyone," Luffy said calmly. "We hope to live peacefully with you."

"Peace? You humans, you have no idea what peace is!" the merman chieftain roared. "You plunder our resources, destroy our environment, you are our enemies!"
