Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

“We are just ordinary human beings, but we believe that everyone has the power to make a difference,” Locke said. “We believe in peace and justice, and we believe that humans and other living beings can coexist and thrive.”

“Your strength and conviction have made me reconsider the relationship between humans and dragons,” Leo said. “Perhaps we can find a new way to get along.”

“We very much hope to work with you, 507, to find a solution,” Locke responded. “We don’t want to see conflict and war between dragons and humans; we hope to build true peace and friendship.”

The dialogue and battles between Leo and the Straw Hat Pirates ultimately broke down the barriers between the two races, establishing a new friendship and cooperation.

The Straw Hat Pirates forged a friendship and cooperative relationship with the Dragon Clan, and Locke and his companions continued their journey to their next destination—Punk Hazard Island. This was a mysterious and dangerous island, said to hold many secrets and treasures.

"This island feels very eerie..." Luffy looked around. "We need to be careful."

“I sensed a powerful energy fluctuation,” Locke said. “We must find the source quickly and figure out what’s going on.”

The Straw Hat Pirates embark on an adventure on Punk Hazard, encountering various dangers and challenges along the way. They discover that a mysterious force seems to be at work on the island, causing the environment to become extremely harsh and the creatures to become unusually ferocious.

“This place is a bit scary…” Nami squinted. “We need to be careful and not get hurt.”

“Yes, we must remain vigilant.” Locke nodded. “We don’t know what will happen, but we must stay calm.”

The Straw Hat Pirates continued their journey and finally found the source of the energy fluctuations. They discovered a vast industrial area with various strange facilities and machines constantly operating.

"Where is this place?" Zoro asked. "Why are there so many machines and facilities here?"

“I feel like this is a laboratory,” Chopper said. “Perhaps all these machines and facilities are used for experiments.”

“We must find the truth…” Locke said. “There are too many secrets here; we cannot leave like this.”

The Straw Hat Pirates continued deeper into the industrial area of ​​Punk Hazard, where they encountered a Marine squad led by Akainu. This squad's objective was clear: to capture the Straw Hat Pirates.

"What exactly do you Marines want?" Luffy roared. "Why are you always chasing us?"

“You pirates, you always disrupt peace and create chaos,” Akainu said. “Your actions have reached an intolerable level, and we must capture you to maintain social stability.”

“Aren’t we fighting for justice and freedom?” Locke retorted. “We are striving for the happiness and equality of all people, not for our own selfish interests.”

"You pirates always like to portray yourselves as representatives of justice and freedom, but your actions completely contradict that," Akainu glared at Locke. "Your actions have disrupted social order and harmed the public interest; you must be held accountable for your deeds."

Chapter 390: Let me show you my Three-Sword Style!

"We will take responsibility for our actions, but we will not tolerate your relentless pursuit of us," Locke said calmly. "We are not the pirates you speak of; we are the Straw Hat Pirates. We fight not only for ourselves, but also for the happiness of everyone."

"Enough! Stop talking!" Akainu roared. "We'll make you pay!"

Akainu orders his subordinates to attack the Straw Hat Pirates, and Locke and his crew engage in fierce combat. Locke uses the power of his Teigu, controlling fire and wind, to fight against Akainu and his men.

"You pirates, you're all too arrogant!" Akainu shouted. "You have no idea what you're doing!"

27 “We know what we’re doing,” Locke replied. “We are fighting for justice and freedom, and we don’t want to see anyone treated unfairly.”

The Straw Hat Pirates joined the battle, focusing their firepower on the Marines' subordinates. Even though Akainu was incredibly strong, he gradually found himself at a disadvantage under the combined attack of Locke and his crew.

"The Straw Hat Pirates are incredibly powerful!" Akainu exclaimed in surprise. "We must take them seriously."

"You lot, don't underestimate the Marines!" Akainu roared, conjuring a powerful flame in his hands. "This is Akainu's Fire Fist!"

He charged fiercely toward the Straw Hat Pirates, unleashing scorching flames that melted the sand and gravel on the ground.

Locke and Luffy immediately rushed forward, their figures transforming into streaks of wind and fire as they engaged in a fierce battle with Akainu.

"Rock, be careful!" Luffy shouted. "This guy's flames are extremely hot, be careful not to get hurt."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Locke said as he used the power of his Imperial Arms to control the flames and wind while fighting Akainu.

"You pirates, don't think you can challenge the authority of our Navy!" Akainu said coldly. "You will pay the price for your actions!"

“We have no intention of challenging your authority,” Locke responded. “We simply want to fight for justice and protect those who have been deprived of their freedom and rights.”

The Straw Hat Pirates also joined the battle, each using their own skills and weapons to engage in a fierce duel with the Marines' subordinates.

"I'll show you my Three-Sword Style!" Zoro shouted, slashing his three swords fiercely at his opponents.

"You guys aren't good enough to fight me!" Sanji taunted as he dodged his opponents' attacks.

507 "Give up, you have no chance of escaping!" The Marines' subordinates rushed forward, ready to capture the entire Straw Hat Pirates.

But the Straw Hat Pirates did not give up easily. They united and cooperated with each other, and under Locke's leadership, they finally defeated the Marines' subordinates, forcing Akainu to retreat.

"The Straw Hat Pirates are incredibly strong," Akainu exclaimed. "I must report this to my superiors."

“We don’t want to be your enemies, but we won’t back down,” Locke said. “We will fight for our beliefs and justice, no matter how difficult the situation.”

Chapter 391: These test subjects are too dangerous!

Akainu said nothing more, and he and his men hurriedly left the scene. The Straw Hat Pirates continued their exploration of the secrets of Punk Hazard.

"What exactly happened on this island?" Robin frowned.

“I don’t know, but we must find the answer,” Locke said. “This place is full of mysterious forces, and we must figure out their source.”

The Straw Hat Pirates continued their journey deeper into Punk Hazard, encountering numerous dangers and challenges along the way. They discovered many strange facilities and machines on the island, which appeared to be used for experiments.

“This feels like a huge laboratory,” Sanji said. “Maybe someone is conducting some kind of experiment.”

“Whoever is conducting the experiments, the creatures on this island have suffered greatly,” Chopper said. “We must find them and help them out of this predicament.”

The Straw Hat Pirates continued their journey and finally found the control center of the laboratory. They discovered that the laboratory's owner was a scientist named Caesar Crown, who was conducting an experiment called "Project SMILE".

“Project SMILE?” Robin frowned. “What kind of project is that?”

"It's supposedly a project that would allow humans and animals to merge," Locke explained. "But this project carries great risks and could cause significant harm to the resulting life form."

"This guy is conducting such cruel experiments!" Nami exclaimed angrily. "We must stop him!"

The Straw Hat Pirates decide to engage in a fierce battle with Caesar Crown in order to stop his experiments.

“Caesar Crown, what you have done is too cruel!” Locke shouted. “Your experiments have not only caused great harm to humans and animals, but also posed a great threat to the ecological environment of the entire world.”

"Hahaha, you pirates really are full of self-righteousness," Caesar Crown mocked. "You think you can stop my experiments? You're too naive."

Caesar Crown released his experimental subjects, monsters created from the fusion of humans and animals. These monsters possessed immense power and a cruel nature, and the Straw Hat Pirates engaged in a fierce battle with them.

“These test subjects are far too dangerous!” Chopper exclaimed. “We must stop Caesar Crown’s experiments as soon as possible.”

Locke, wielding the power of his Imperial Arms and controlling fire and wind, battles the experimental subjects. Sanji and Zoro also use their weapons to fight against the experimental subjects.

“You experimental subjects, you are neither human nor animal!” Robin said calmly. “You are merely products of Caesar Crown’s experiments, you have no value whatsoever.”

The Straw Hat Pirates decide to engage in a fierce battle with Caesar Crown in order to stop his experiments.

“Caesar Crown, what you have done is too cruel!” Locke shouted. “Your experiments have not only caused great harm to humans and animals, but also posed a great threat to the ecological environment of the entire world.”

"Hahaha, you pirates really are all talk about justice," Caesar Crown sneered. "You think you can stop my experiments? You're so naive."

Chapter 392: Caesar Crown, your experiment is over!

Caesar Crown released his experimental subjects, monsters created from the fusion of humans and animals. These monsters possessed immense power and a cruel nature, and the Straw Hat Pirates engaged in a fierce battle with them.

"These test subjects are far too dangerous!" Chopper exclaimed. "We must stop Caesar Crown's experiments as soon as possible."

Locke, wielding the power of his Imperial Arms and controlling fire and wind, battles the experimental subjects. Sanji and Zoro also use their weapons to fight against the experimental subjects.

“You experimental subjects, you are neither human nor animal!” Robin said calmly. “You are merely products of Caesar Crown’s experiments, you have no value whatsoever.”

The Straw Hat Pirates engaged in a fierce battle with the experimental subject, a scene of utter carnage. The experimental subject possessed immense strength and incredible speed, putting the Straw Hat Pirates on the defensive for a time.

"Don't panic, everyone! Stay calm!" Locke shouted. "We must work together to deal with these experimental subjects."

He used the power of the Imperial Arms, controlling fire and wind, to relentlessly attack the experimental subjects, forcing them back. Sanji and Zoro attacked the experimental subjects fiercely from the left and right, keeping them at bay.

Nami and Chopper stood in the back, constantly launching various ranged attacks to support their teammates.

"These test subjects are incredibly powerful!" Nami shouted.

"That's right, we can't let Caesar Crown continue these cruel experiments!" Zoro joined the battle. "Let's defeat these monsters together and fight for justice!"

The Straw Hat Pirates joined the battle, cooperating seamlessly to form a tight battle line. Under Locke's leadership, they worked together and ultimately defeated the experimental subject.

“Caesar Crown, your experiment is over!” Locke walked toward Caesar Crown. “You must pay the price for what you have done.”

"Hahaha, you pirates are so naive!" Caesar Crown sneered. "I've already got everything I wanted, and you can't stop me."

He took out a bottle of medicine, preparing to escape.

"Do you think you can escape?" Locke chased after him. "Your crimes are serious enough."

He launched a pursuit and engaged in a fierce duel with Caesar Crown.

"You pirates, you are not worthy to fight me!" Caesar Crown roared. "I am a giant of science, and you are just a bunch of insects."

Faced with Caesar Crown's provocation, Locke calmly said, "We don't need qualifications, we only need justice and courage. You have harmed countless lives, and you must pay the price for what you have done."

He wielded the power of his Imperial Arms, controlling fire and wind, and engaged in a fierce battle with Kaiser Crown. Kaiser Crown's experiments granted him superhuman strength and abilities, but Locke's Imperial Arms was equally powerful, and the two fought to a standstill.

“You pirates, you can’t defeat me!” Caesar Crown roared. “My test subjects possess limitless power.”

“We are not fighting against your experimental subjects, but against you,” Locke replied. “You must pay for your crimes.”

The Straw Hat Pirates joined the battle, focusing their fire on Caesar Crown in an attempt to break through his defenses. Ultimately, Locke used his Imperial Arm to successfully subdue Caesar Crown.
