Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Locke and Robin cautiously approached, sensing Chopper's powerful aura. Chopper transformed into a giant werewolf, roaring as he attacked Locke and Robin.

"Locke, this guy's strength doesn't seem to be underestimated. We need to be careful with his abilities and not get bogged down by his werewolf fruit," Robin warned.

Locke nodded in agreement, gripping the Dark Sword tightly, ready to fight Chopper.

Chopper charged at Locke with incredible speed, unleashing a fierce attack using his werewolf fruit ability. His claws and teeth carried terrifying power, attempting to tear Locke to shreds.

Locke used his dark powers to swiftly dodge Chopper's attacks. A determined light shone in his eyes; he was resolved not to be defeated by Chopper.

"Chopper, your werewolf fruit ability is ineffective against me!" Locke shouted, his voice full of confidence.

Chopper stopped his attack in astonishment, unable to believe his ears. His werewolf fruit ability had always been his greatest advantage; he had never encountered an opponent who was immune to its effects.

Chapter 486: A Flash of Darkness!

"What are you saying? My werewolf fruit ability can't be countered!" Chopper roared angrily.

Locke smiled, a strange light gleaming in his eyes. He stared at Chopper, displaying his X-ray vision—the ability to see rainbows.

"The Eye of X-ray - Rainbow!" Locke murmured.

A rainbow light suddenly appeared in Locke's eyes; he could see through Chopper's abilities and weaknesses.

"Chopper, your Werewolf Fruit ability isn't entirely unstoppable. Your weakness lies in the excessive strain on your body after transforming, which you can't sustain for long. I've seen through your ability's limitations; you can't maintain your werewolf form for extended periods. This is your weakness, and I will use it to defeat you!" Locke said firmly.

Chopper showed a hint of nervousness; he hadn't expected Locke to discover his weakness. But he quickly regained his composure; he wouldn't easily submit to Locke.

"You think you can defeat me just because you know my weakness? Locke, you're too naive!" Chopper roared, radiating a fierce aura.

Locke did not back down; he quickly unleashed his X-ray vision—the Rainbow ability. He was able to see through Chopper's movements and attack paths, accurately dodging every attack.

Locke suddenly launched a counterattack, his dark sword slashing down at Chopper's claws. The collision of dark power and the werewolf fruit ability produced a tremendous impact, and the battle became extremely fierce.

Locke was agile, using dark power to dodge Chopper's attacks and launch counterattacks. His blade was imbued with dark power, and each strike made Chopper feel a great threat.

Chopper fought back fiercely, his strength and speed exceeding Locke's expectations. His claws and teeth snapped at Locke, but Locke, relying on his X-ray vision—the ability to see through rainbows—was able to predict and dodge every attack from Chopper.

The battle reached a fever pitch, with Locke and Chopper evenly matched. Their attacks were swift and precise, making for an exceptionally intense scene.

"Rock, you have no idea what my power is!" Chopper roared, his werewolf fruit ability increasing even further.

Chopper's body grew even larger, and his strength and speed reached their peak. He launched a series of continuous attacks on Locke, almost overwhelming him.

Locke felt the pressure, but he didn't give up. He took a deep breath and refocused.

"Chopper, I may not fully understand your power, but I believe in my own abilities and determination. No matter how strong you are, I will not back down easily!" Locke shouted, his voice filled with determination and confidence.

Locke began to adjust his tactics, using his X-ray vision—the rainbow ability—to find Chopper's weakness. He discovered that there was a brief gap during Chopper's transformation, which was Chopper's most vulnerable moment.

Locke waited for that moment to arrive, and when Chopper transformed again, he quickly flashed to Chopper's side and launched a surprise attack using the Dark Sword.

A flash of darkness! Locke shouted, and dark power gathered on the blade, forming a powerful slash.

Chopper was hit by Locke's sudden attack, letting out a painful howl. Locke seized the opportunity and continued to unleash a rapid series of attacks, giving Chopper no chance to catch his breath.

Chopper's werewolf fruit ability was completely countered by Locke, and his attacks gradually lost their ferocity. Locke used his dark powers to dodge Chopper's attacks while looking for every opportunity to strike.

Locke's blade pierced Chopper's defenses time and again, leaving Chopper's body covered in wounds. He felt his strength waning; he could no longer maintain his werewolf form.

Chapter 487: Split the mountain with bare hands!

Seeing Chopper's exhausted state, Locke stopped attacking. He knew he had gained a significant advantage, and continuing the fight might inflict fatal damage on Chopper.

"Chopper, you can't fight anymore. Give up, you've been defeated!" Locke's voice was full of understanding and forgiveness.

Chopper, panting heavily, looked down at his battered body. He knew he could no longer fight Locke, but his heart remained filled with unwavering determination and an indomitable spirit.

“Rock, you are a formidable opponent. I admit I was defeated by your power. But that doesn’t mean I will give up my beliefs and goals! I will continue to strive to become stronger and fight for the justice in my heart!” Chopper said with a firm tone.

Locke gazed at Chopper, sensing the resilience and determination within him. He knew Chopper was a worthy opponent, and his presence would inspire him to continuously improve.

“Chopper, your courage and determination are admirable. I look forward to fighting you again, where we can grow stronger together. But for now, you need rest and recovery. We will continue on our journey until we achieve our goal!” Rock said to Chopper.

Chopper nodded, watching Locke and Robin leave with gratitude. He knew that although he had failed, his battle had only just begun.

Locke and Robin left Chopper and continued on their way, arriving at a sinister and terrifying place. This was Brook's territory, the territory of a notorious rival with musical magic.

Locke and Robin cautiously explored the place when suddenly a mournful melody began to play. Brook appeared before them, holding a violin shaped like a skeleton, his eyes gleaming with an evil light.

"Locke, Robin, I am Brook, a musician who has lived for hundreds of years. Prepare to face my musical magic!" Brook said with a sinister smile.

Locke watched Brooke warily, knowing this opponent was not to be underestimated. Brooke's musical magic could manipulate people's emotions and consciousness, giving him a tremendous advantage.

“Brook, I’ve heard of your infamous reputation, but I will not be swayed by your music. I will use my power to defeat you and give you your freedom!” Locke said resolutely.

Brooke chuckled coldly and began to play the violin, the notes filling the air. Locke and Robin's emotions began to fluctuate, their thoughts gradually being influenced by Brooke's music.

Locke immediately sensed the danger. He gathered his dark power and remained steadfast. His dark sword began to emanate dark energy, resisting the influence of Brook's music.

"Splitting mountains with bare hands!" Locke roared, swinging his dark sword at Brook.

The power of darkness collided with Brook's music, creating a powerful impact. Locke's attack shattered Brook's musical barrier, striking his body directly.

Brook roared in anguish, but he did not give up. He continued playing his violin, trying to regain control of the game.

Locke gripped the Dark Sword tightly, dodging Brook's musical attacks and launching fierce counterattacks.

Each strike from Locke's dark sword severed Brook's violin strings, interrupting his musical attacks.

Chapter 488: The Ice Queen's Apostle!

Brooke roared angrily, his eyes flashing with rage and pain.

“Damn Locke! You ruined my music and destroyed my rhythm!” Brooke roared.

Undeterred, Locke seized the opportunity and launched another attack. He closed in on Brook with incredible speed, his dark sword aimed at his body.

Brook's eyes widened as he felt the immense pressure emanating from the dark sword. Unwilling to be defeated by Locke, he used all his strength to resist.

However, Locke's dark sword was unstoppable. Every strike he made was incredibly accurate, forcing Brook into a predicament.

"I can't lose to you! Music is my power!" Brook roared, constantly changing the tune in an attempt to regain control of Locke and Robin's consciousness.

Locke and Robin worked in perfect harmony, their will unwavering, unaffected by Brook's music. They remained calm and continued fighting.

Locke's dark sword flashed around Brook like lightning, each strike precise and deadly. More and more wounds appeared on Brook's body, and his strength gradually waned.

"No! I can't lose!" Brook roared, launching one last all-out counterattack.

However, Locke calmly dodged Brook's attack and used the Dark Sword to deliver a fatal blow.

"Splitting mountains with bare hands!" Locke's dark sword, carrying destructive power, slashed fiercely at Brook's body.

Brook let out a scream as his body was sliced ​​in two by Locke's attack. His music stopped abruptly, and Brook collapsed to the ground, turning into a pile of bones.

Locke and Robin looked at Brook lying on the ground, took a deep breath, and felt the victory and growth they had experienced in the battle.

"We succeeded! Brooke has been defeated!" Locke's voice was filled with the joy of victory.

Robin walked over to Locke and said with a smile, "Locke, your strength and determination are truly admirable. Together we overcame Brooke's musical magic and achieved victory!"

Locke looked at Robin gratefully, knowing that his growth in this battle was inseparable from Robin's support and tacit cooperation.

Locke and Robin suppressed their joy of victory and continued onward to face their next challenge. They arrived at a snow-covered place, Jinbe's territory, a powerful adversary with ice magic.

·· ······Requesting 0 flowers ······

A cold wind blew against Locke and Robin, and they sensed Jinbe's powerful aura. Jinbe appeared before them, holding an ice sword in his hand, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

.

"Locke, Robin, I am Jinbe, the apostle of the Snow Queen. You will be conquered by my ice magic!" Jinbe said mockingly.

Locke gripped the Dark Sword tightly, his gaze unwavering, unmoved by Jinbe's words.

"Jinbe, I've heard of your ice magic, but I'm not afraid. No matter how strong you are, I will defeat you with my own power!" Locke declared his challenge.

Jinbe sneered, raising his Ice Sword and unleashing a chilling energy. Ice and snow enveloped the surrounding space, slowing Locke and Robin's movements.

Locke immediately sensed the danger. He channeled his dark power, maintaining his inner resolve. His dark sword emitted dark energy, resisting Jinbe's ice and snow magic.

Chapter 489: The Ice Queen - Rust!

"Ice Queen - Rast!" Jinbe shouted, wielding his ice sword and unleashing a powerful ice attack.

Locke and Robin worked in perfect harmony, their will unwavering, refusing to be swayed by the ice and snow magic. They remained calm and continued the fight.

Locke's dark sword moved like lightning around Jinbe, each strike precise and accurate. Jinbe's ice attacks were neutralized by Locke's dark power, rendering them ineffective.

Jinbe roared angrily, constantly changing the form of his ice magic in an attempt to defeat Locke and Robin.

However, Locke calmly dodged Jinbe's attack and launched a counterattack using the Dark Sword.

"Splitting Mountains with a Single Hand!" Locke roared, and powerful dark energy gathered on the blade of his Dark Sword. He aimed at Jinbe and launched a fatal blow.

The sword collided with Jinbe's ice and snow attack, creating a tremendous impact. Dark power surged into the air, instantly melting the ice and snow, demonstrating Locke's immense power.

Jinbe stared at Locke in astonishment, not expecting that his ice magic would be unable to withstand Locke's dark power.

"Impossible! My ice magic is so powerful, how could you possibly break it?" Jinbe muttered to himself in shock.
