Just as they were struggling to steer their ship forward, a pirate ship suddenly appeared before them. Standing on the ship was a young and handsome pirate—Ace.

"Do you need help?" Ace asked, his voice filled with determination and resolve.

Locke nodded gratefully.

“Yes, we need help. This storm is too fierce for us to handle alone,” Locke replied sincerely.

Ace decided to lend a helping hand, and his boat approached Locke and the children's boat.

"Jump over! I'll protect you!" Ace shouted.

Locke and the child jumped aboard Ace's ship without hesitation. Ace's crew watched the storm nervously, knowing it would be a tough battle.

Locke looked up at the dark sky, his body radiating an aura of fortitude.

"Storm, you cannot stop our advance!" Locke roared, his voice fading into the howling storm.

Inspired by Locke's spirit, the crew of Ace's ship united to fight against the storm.

Locke looked around, his gaze settling on a pirate being swept away by the storm—it was Ace's younger brother, Monkey D. Luffy. He struggled desperately, but the storm's power held him firmly in place.

"Ace, your brother has been swept away by the storm! We must save him!" Locke said anxiously.

Ace nodded, took a deep breath, and released a burst of intense flames.

“Locke, I will save my brother. You protect the others, and let’s overcome this storm together!” Ace said firmly.
