Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"I am the Weather Queen, the one who controls the power of the weather," the woman said confidently. "I've heard you are a group of brave pirates, and I've come to test your strength."

“The Weather Queen? She’s not someone to be trifled with,” Nicole Robin said in a low voice. “We need to be careful.”

Locke, holding his hammer, prepared to face the Weather Queen.

“Don’t underestimate me,” the Weather Queen said arrogantly. “I can control lightning, torrential rain, and hurricanes.”

“We’re not to be trifled with either.” Locke swung his giant hammer and charged toward the Weather Queen.

The Weather Queen was not to be outdone; she controlled the power of the weather, creating bolts of lightning and storms in an attempt to stop Locke's attack.

Chapter 422: This woman is extremely dangerous!

Locke skillfully dodged the Weather Queen's attacks while simultaneously slamming his giant hammer down on her.

"You really do have some strength," the Queen of the Weather said with a sneer. "Then, let me show you my true strength."

She began to manipulate the power of the weather, unleashing even more powerful lightning and storms. But Locke did not back down; he continued to attack the Weather Queen with his giant hammer.

"What is this?!" the Queen of the Weather exclaimed in surprise. "My energy has been absorbed by your hammer?!"

Locke's hammer emitted a golden light, absorbing the lightning and storm unleashed by the Weather Queen. His hammer grew increasingly powerful, each strike leaving the Weather Queen utterly astonished.

Locke's hammer grew ever stronger, and he struck the Weather Queen relentlessly with it. The Weather Queen attempted to manipulate the power of the weather, but her power had been absorbed by Locke's hammer, leaving her helpless.

"You pirates..." Queen Skyweather said through gritted teeth, "You will never win!"

"Don't be so arrogant," Locke said with a sneer. "We have already defeated you."

He swung his giant hammer and delivered a final blow to the Weather Queen. The Weather Queen was forced back and fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

“We’ve won!” Locke shouted. “Weather Queen, (chag) you can stop thinking about doing anything.”

He and his companions stood guard beside the Weather Queen. However, the Weather Queen was powerless to resist and could only be captured by them.

“This woman is very dangerous,” Nicole Robin warned. “We have to be careful.”

Locke nodded; he knew Nico Robin was right. Although the Weather Queen had lost consciousness, her power remained immense, and if she were to regain it, they might face an even greater threat.

“We need to find a way to control her,” Franky said. “I can make some special handcuffs to lock her up.”

“Good idea,” Nicole Robin agreed. “We still need to bring her back safely and hand her over to the World Government.”

Locke and Charlotte were tasked with guarding the Weather Queen to prevent her from escaping or rebelling before she recovered.

Franky got to work, taking out some special metals and circuitry to begin making handcuffs. It took him some time, but he eventually succeeded in creating a set of handcuffs capable of restraining the Weather Queen.

“Okay, that should do it,” Franky said, handing the handcuffs to Nicole Robin.

Nico Robin handcuffed the Weather Queen's wrists, locking her powers. They then bound the Weather Queen, preparing to take her back.

“We need to get out of here quickly; it might not be safe,” Locke warned.

They quickly packed their belongings and left the place with the Weather Queen. On the way back, they remained vigilant to prevent encountering any other dangers.

After traveling for some time, they finally arrived at a secret base. This base, which they had built during their pirate days, was a safe place where they could temporarily conceal their identities.

They locked the Weather Queen in a cell with thick steel plates on all sides to ensure she couldn't escape.

Chapter 423: The Domain of Naval Headquarters!

“We have completed our mission,” Locke said, “but this is not the end. We still need to hand over the Weather Queen to the World Government.”

“That’s right,” Nicole Robin nodded. “We must remain vigilant to prevent her forces from reviving.”

Franky then began analyzing and researching the Weather Queen, attempting to understand her power and abilities. Charlotte assisted Franky, providing some useful information.

Over the next few days, they continued their research and analysis at the secret base. They gained a deeper understanding of the Weather Queen's abilities and characteristics, while also enhancing their own strength and skills.

During this process, Locke and Nicole Robin discover something interesting. They uncover secrets in an old diary left behind by their former captain.

“This diary contains a lot of useful information,” Nicole Robin said. “We can learn a lot from it.”

“Yes, we need to study this carefully,” Locke nodded. “It could be very helpful for our future.”

They began to carefully read the contents of the diary and found much useful information within. The diary detailed the captain's past experiences, as well as his predictions and plans for the future.

“This is really interesting,” Franky said. “This information could be very inspiring for our scientific research.”

Charlotte, meanwhile, was searching for the Weather Queen's weaknesses and defenses. She used her frost powers to experiment, trying to find a way to withstand the Weather Queen's attacks.

“I have an idea,” Charlotte said. “We can use a special alloy to make equipment that can withstand the Weather Queen’s power.”

“Good idea,” Nicole Robin nodded. “We should give it a try.”

They began to create a special alloy that could effectively resist the Weather Queen's abilities. Franky used his mechanical devices to forge equipment from this alloy, while Locke and Charlotte began testing its effectiveness.

“This equipment is extremely useful,” Locke said. “It will make dealing with the Weather Queen much easier.”

“That’s right,” Charlotte nodded. “We’re more confident now.”

After a period of research and experimentation, they were finally ready to hand the Weather Queen over to the World Government. They placed the Weather Queen in a special container and then boarded a small boat, heading towards Marine Headquarters.

“We have to be careful,” Nicole Robin cautioned. “The World Government is not our friend.”

..... .. ...

“That’s right, we need to be prepared for anything that might happen,” Locke nodded.

They entered the territory of the Naval Headquarters, but were quickly intercepted. A naval warship appeared before them and inspected them.

“Who are you?” a naval officer asked.

“We are a pirate crew, and we have a prisoner to hand over to the World Government,” Nico Robin replied.

"Pirates? Don't you know piracy is illegal?" The naval officer frowned.

“We are no longer pirates,” Locke explained. “We are doing our best to help the world.”

The naval officer remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.

Chapter 424: The Ghost Pirates!

“Alright, you can pass,” he said, “but you must hand over the prisoner to us, and we will be responsible for handing her over to the World Government.”

Locke and his companions had no choice but to hand the Weather Queen over to naval officers and leave Marine Headquarters. Although they successfully delivered the Weather Queen to the World Government, they were now being watched by the Navy.

“We need to be careful,” Nicole Robin cautioned. “523. We’re now a target for the Navy.”

“That’s right,” Locke nodded. “We need to hide for a while and wait for the right opportunity.”

So they temporarily left the sea area and went to another place.

After leaving Marine Headquarters, Locke and his crew wandered the seas for a while, waiting for an opportunity. During this time, Locke pondered how best to help the Straw Hat Pirates survive in the New World.

He knew the New World was extremely dangerous, filled with powerful enemies and unknown perils. If the Straw Hat crew didn't receive help, they might meet with certain death.

“We have to find the Straw Hat Pirates,” Locke said. “We can’t let them adventure alone in the New World.”

“That’s right,” Nicole Robin nodded. “They are our friends, and we must help them.”

So Locke and his companions began searching for the Straw Hat Pirates. After a period of searching, they finally found their trail.

The Straw Hat Pirates are currently on a small island, fighting against the Ghost Pirates alongside the musician Brook. The island is filled with ghosts and a terrifying atmosphere, and the Straw Hats are clearly struggling.

"Straw Hat Crew, we're here!" Locke shouted. "We're here to help you."

"Rock!" Luffy was overjoyed to see Rock and his crew. "You've finally arrived."

"Do you need help?" Locke asked.

“Yes, we are fighting the Ghost Pirates, but they are extremely powerful,” Robin explained. “We need your help.”

"Alright, let's fight them together." Locke swung his giant hammer, bracing himself for the Ghost Pirates' attack.

The members of the Ghost Pirates are all Devil Fruit users capable of manipulating ghosts and darkness. They can control ghosts and darkness at will, leaving their opponents helpless...

However, Locke and his crew were no pushovers. Locke swung his giant hammer, deflecting all of the Ghost Pirates' attacks. Nico Robin, meanwhile, used her abilities to create numerous arms and eyes for both attack and reconnaissance.

Franky used his mechanical devices to create a variety of weapons and equipment, making them more effective against the Ghost Pirates. Charlotte, on the other hand, used her frost power to freeze the Ghost Pirates' attacks.

The battle intensified, with both sides exchanging blows and finding themselves in a difficult position. Luffy transformed into a giant gorilla, using his powerful fists to fight against the members of the Ghost Pirates. Usopp, meanwhile, operated his turret, relentlessly firing towards the enemy.

Brook then unleashed his musical talent, using the power of music to attack the Ghost Pirates. His piano playing was incredibly melodious, yet it could generate powerful sonic attacks.

“These guys are really tough,” Franky said. “We need to find a way to take them down quickly.”

“Yes, we can’t keep fighting here,” Nico Robin chimed in.

Chapter 425: Locke, Charlotte, we need to cooperate!

“I have an idea,” Locke said. “We can seal away their dark power.”

"A seal?" Luffy looked at Locke with doubt. "Is that feasible?"
