Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Belt also displayed his strength, his weapon radiating a powerful aura. He brandished his greatsword and launched an attack on Locke.

The battle between Locke and Belt was extremely fierce, their Imperial Arms powers canceling each other out. Locke's time manipulation allowed him to teleport, dodging enemy attacks. Belt's Haki, on the other hand, amplified his attack power, making his attacks even more ferocious.

Locke began to use the power of darkness, trapping his enemies within it. Belt sensed the power of darkness, but he was not intimidated. He swung his greatsword, breaking the seal within the darkness.

Locke realized that the power of the Imperial Arms alone was not enough to defeat Belt. He needed to combine the power of the Imperial Arms with his own Haki to defeat this powerful enemy.

"I can't lose!" Locke shouted. "I'm going to become the Pirate King!"

He began to unleash his domineering aura, increasing his attack power. He drew a black sword, its blade radiating dark energy.

"Belter! Today, I will defeat you!" Locke charged toward Belter, his sword radiating intense dark energy.

Belt sensed that Locke's domineering aura had grown even stronger, and he knew he had met a true opponent. He brandished his greatsword and engaged Locke in fierce combat.

Locke's swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, and the power of darkness made his attacks even more ruthless. Belt felt himself gradually losing ground, and he knew he had to adopt a more aggressive strategy.

He began to unleash his domineering aura, making his attacks even more powerful. He swung his greatsword and slashed fiercely at Locke.

Locke felt his body tremble from the shock, but he did not give up. He began to use the power of his Imperial Arms to control time and space, making his attacks more accurate.

Belt was forced back a few steps by Locke's attack, and he knew he was at a disadvantage. He began to unleash his strongest skill, radiating a powerful aura of dominance.

...... . .......

“You haven’t won yet!” Belt shouted. “I have one more move!”

He began to swing his broadsword into the sky, preparing to unleash his ultimate attack.

“Dark mythology!” Bert shouted.

His broadsword exuded a powerful aura of dominance and darkness, instantly shrouding the entire sky in darkness.

Locke felt himself being swallowed by darkness, and he knew he had to take action. He began to use the power of his Imperial Arms, manipulating time and space to free his attack from the darkness.

He brandished his dark sword, unleashing a powerful surge of dark energy. He charged toward Belt, preparing to deliver the final blow.

"Dark Impact!" Locke shouted.

Chapter 479: Captain of the Flame Pirates!

His sword unleashed a powerful dark force, instantly defeating Belt. Belt collapsed to the ground, swallowed by the darkness.

Locke knew he had won. He sheathed his Imperial Arms and Dark Sword and shouted to the sky.

"I, Locke, have won!"

After his victory over Belt in their duel, Locke continued his journey to the New World. He had heard of many powerful pirate crews and navies there, but Locke was not intimidated. He was confident in his own strength and the power of his Imperial Arms, believing it was enough to face any challenge.

In the New World, Locke receives news that Rebecca has been kidnapped by a powerful pirate crew. Rebecca is a female pirate from the East Blue, possessing extremely strong martial arts skills. She was once a member of the East Blue pirate crew, but was expelled after a failed mission. Since then, she has been wandering the New World, seeking an opportunity to restore her honor.

Upon hearing the news, Locke immediately went to her rescue. He knew that only his Imperial Arms could protect Rebecca and defeat the pirate crew that had kidnapped her.

When Locke arrived at his destination, he discovered that the pirate captain was a man named Bruno. Bruno was a pirate captain with powerful auras and fire abilities; he was incredibly strong. Locke knew that to defeat Bruno, he needed to improve his own strength.

"You're here to rescue that female pirate?" Bruno sneered. "Looks like you're not strong enough."

"I don't need to be too powerful, just powerful enough is fine," Locke replied calmly.

Bruno charged toward Locke, his greatsword radiating intense power and fiery energy. He was preparing to attack Locke.

Locke also began to unleash his Haki and Imperial Arms power, controlling time and space to make his attacks more accurate.

"Darkness shatters!" Locke shouted.

His Imperial Arms power coalesced into a dark force, shattering Bruno's attack.

Bruno sensed his attacks were failing and knew he needed to adopt a more aggressive strategy. He began unleashing his fire energy, making his attacks even more powerful.

"Firestorm!" Bruno shouted.

His greatsword emitted intense fiery energy as it slashed fiercely at Locke.

Locke felt himself surrounded by flames, but he was not intimidated... He began to use the power of his Imperial Arms to control time and space, allowing his attacks to escape the flames.

He brandished his dark sword, unleashing a powerful surge of dark energy. He charged at Bruno, preparing to deliver the final blow.

"Dark Impact!" Locke shouted.

His sword unleashed a powerful dark force, instantly defeating Bruno. Bruno collapsed to the ground, swallowed by the darkness.

Locke rushed to Rebecca's side, untied her ropes, and set her free. Rebecca looked at Locke and said gratefully, "Thank you, Locke. I'll never forget your help."

“Hahaha, Rebecca, don’t mention it,” Locke said with a smile. “I just did what I was supposed to do.”

Rebecca looked at the Imperial Arm in Locke's hand and asked, "What's that?"

“This is the Imperial Arms I obtained,” Locke replied. “It can control time and space, making my attacks more accurate.”

Rebecca nodded in understanding. She knew that only by possessing immense strength and the power of her Imperial Arms could one establish oneself in the New World.

Chapter 480: "The Wolf of the East Sea"!

Locke brought Rebecca back to his pirate crew. His crew members were overjoyed to see them return safely.

"Locke, you are truly amazing!" one of the pirate crew members exclaimed excitedly.

“Haha, this is just what I should do,” Locke said with a smile.

Just then, one of the pirates brought over a piece of intelligence.

“Locke, we’ve received some information,” he said. “The leader of the East Sea Pirates, Sirius, is said to be lurking in the vicinity.”

Sirius King was an extremely powerful pirate in the East Sea Pirate Crew, possessing exceptional martial arts skills. He enjoyed a high reputation in the East Sea pirate world and was known as the "Wolf of the East Sea."

Upon hearing this news, a glint flashed in Locke's eyes.

"The Sirius King? Alright, let's go find him!" Locke decided to challenge the Sirius King to test his strength.

He and his pirate crew immediately set off for the waters where Sirius King resided. On the way, they encountered attacks from several small pirate groups, but Locke easily defeated them all.

Finally, they arrived at the sea where the Sirius King resided. Locke sensed the tense atmosphere around him; he knew the enemy he was about to face was extremely powerful.

Suddenly, a pirate ship sailed in from a distance, with a flag decorated with a wolf's head on its bow.

"That's Sirius King's pirate crew!" the pirate crew members shouted.

Locke and his pirate crew immediately prepared for battle. They faced Sirius and his men, and a fierce battle ensued.

Locke unleashed his Haki and Imperial Arms power, making his attacks more accurate. He slashed at Sirius with his Dark Sword, but Sirius reacted swiftly and easily dodged Locke's attack.

"Hmph, you're still too weak," the Sirius King said with a sneer. "Let me teach you what true strength is."

He charged towards Locke, his greatsword radiating a powerful aura and wolf-like energy. He was preparing to attack Locke.

Locke also began to unleash his Haki and Imperial Arms power, controlling time and space to make his attacks more accurate.

"Darkness shatters!" Locke shouted.

His Imperial Arms power coalesced into a dark force, shattering Sirius's attack.

Sirius King sensed that his attacks were ineffective, and he knew he needed to adopt a more aggressive strategy. He began to unleash his wolf shadow energy, making his attacks even more powerful.

"The shadow of wolves is spreading!" the Wolf King shouted.

His wolf shadow energy spread like branches, shrouding the entire sea area in darkness.

Locke felt himself being swallowed by darkness, but he did not give up. He used the power of his Imperial Arms to control time and space, allowing his attack to escape the darkness.

He brandished his dark sword, unleashing intense dark energy. He charged towards the Sirius King, preparing to deliver his final blow.

"Dark Impact!" Locke shouted.

His sword unleashed a powerful dark force, instantly defeating the Sirius King. The Sirius King collapsed to the ground, swallowed by the darkness.

Locke looked at the fallen Sirius King with great satisfaction. He knew his strength had reached a new level. He turned and returned to his pirate crew, whose members watched him in awe.

Chapter 481: Joining the Revolutionary Army?

"Locke, you are truly amazing!" one of the pirate crew members exclaimed excitedly.

“Haha, this is just what I should do,” Locke said with a smile.

After defeating Sirius, Locke and his pirate crew continued their voyage to Oronia. Oronia is a mysterious island and one of the revolutionary army's bases.

They were an organization opposed to the World Government, and Locke had heard of their deeds. He wanted to fight for justice, so he decided to go to Oronia to assist the Revolutionary Army.

When they arrived in Oronia, they were warmly welcomed. The leader of Oronia, a woman named Caris, briefed Locke on the Revolutionary Army. She told them that the Revolutionary Army was fighting against the dark forces of the World Government, but they needed more power to defeat their enemy.

Locke expressed his willingness to join the Revolutionary Army, which pleased Karis. She introduced Locke to some other Revolutionary Army members, some of whom possessed similar Imperial Arms powers. Karis told Locke that they needed to act quickly because the World Government's power was constantly growing.

So Locke and the Revolutionary Army set off for a World Government stronghold. They needed to destroy this stronghold to weaken the World Government's power.

When they arrived at the base, they found it teeming with World Government troops and navy. Locke knew this would not be an easy task, but he also knew they could not give up.

The Revolutionary Army members demonstrated their Imperial Arms powers to Locke, and Locke, in turn, showed them his own strength. Together, they charged towards the enemy, engaging in a fierce battle.

Locke used the power of his Imperial Arms to manipulate time and space, making his attacks more precise. He slashed at his enemies with his dark sword, shattering their attacks. The Revolutionary Army members also demonstrated their abilities; some controlled fire, others water, pushing their powers to their limits.

However, the enemy was too numerous, and their attacks were extremely powerful.
