Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

The point of this discussion is about how the bounty should be divided.

Generally speaking, if someone reaches the level of a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea), their bounty will start at around 30 billion. Luffy is at the bottom level in this regard, but if he reaches the level of a legendary pirate, his bounty will start at around 50 billion.

For example, Whitebeard and Roger, who were at their peak, both had bounties exceeding 50 billion.

Keep going!

It's hard to say what the standard of 20 billion is, but the standard of 10 billion to 20 billion is at the level of the vice-president/junior admiral. Below that, the royal-level officers are basically at the level of a little over 10 billion, and no more. As for those below that, they are at the level of officers, which is over 5 million Berries.

So say it!

When a bounty is high, as long as it's not an exaggeration by the Navy, then it basically reflects a pirate's strength; this is no joke.

"Hmm~"

Leone pondered and said, "Your Highness, we're definitely going to lose!"

Locke nodded and said, "I know. Like I said, with the strength of the four of us, we are definitely going to lose. So! I have already contacted the people. I will summon Esdeath and have her take a ship back to Noxus as soon as the battle is over. There should be no problems."

"That woman..."

"cut!"

Leone pursed her lips, clearly annoyed, but didn't say anything.

"Esdeath..."

“Very strong…”

Akame nodded cutely. As this was a battle where she truly gave it her all, Akame greatly acknowledged Esdeath's strength; she was simply too powerful.

Locke calmly replied, "There's no other way! None of the three of us are good at group combat, but Esdeath's Demon Essence ability is best suited for group combat. Combined with Esdeath's strength, this is how the mission can be successful."

"otherwise……"

Locke shook his head with a sigh.

no way!

If the mission fails, then no matter where I hide, I will definitely die.

Given the Rocks Pirates' nature, they would never show mercy. Once you accept a mission, there are only two paths: completion or death. Either you complete the mission and receive the reward, or you die completely during the mission.

Do you want to choose to run away?

Hehehe~~~

On this vast ocean, no one dares to face the pursuit of the entire Rocks Pirates.

Moreover!

Locke was still confident. This battle wasn't entirely without a chance of success; in fact, according to his calculations, the probability of success was quite high. Because of this, the situation that followed was hard to predict.

"Whoo~~~"

Letting out a deep breath, Locke murmured calmly, "What will happen next?"

"never mind!"

"The specifics are hard to say, let's complete this task for now!"

"and……"

Locke patted his head. When did he become so sentimental? He's never been one to be sentimental!

For all sorts of things!

Locke was never a sentimental person; quite the opposite! What Locke preferred most was suppressing and utterly crushing his opponents through his own methods. This was what he enjoyed most at that moment. Everything else was meaningless!

The winner takes it all!

The loser gets nothing!

This is typical of Locke's personality; normally, Locke doesn't like gambling.

but!

The rewards this time were enormous. Locke knew that only by winning this mission could he obtain everything he wanted. Collecting Devil Fruits was never an easy path.

The benefits of 3 Devil Fruits are extremely important for someone like me who has only summoned 3 Imperial Arms and still has 45 more to summon!

Locke understood this very well, and it was the core of his understanding.

“Your Highness!” Leone pondered, “However! Even with Esdeath’s power added, can we win? According to the information I’ve read, victory will not be an easy task.”

"and……"

Leone was also pondering a problem, which was no easy task.

Marco's regenerative abilities are evident from his own observations of the Phoenix Fruit.

and!

The power developed by Valcke may even surpass that of Marco.

"Hehehe~~~"

Locke smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry! With Esdeath's strength, there won't be any problems. Don't forget! Esdeath is a prodigy!"

"what!"

"Although I don't want to admit it."

Leone clicked his tongue, admitting it was indeed true.

Chapter 62: A Shocking Combination Technique! Instant Kill of Valk!

The Phoenix Pirates!!!

As a renowned pirate crew in the New World.

In terms of strength!

That is absolutely beyond doubt.

Therefore!

Locke will be facing the Phoenix Pirates.

and……

Locke didn't even try to hide anything; instead, he went straight for the Phoenix Pirates.

Seven days!

In just seven days, the two pirate crews had already begun to clash.

Wow~~~

Wow~~~

As the waves surged, the two pirate ships stopped within a distance of about ten meters. Both sides stared sharply at each other, and a terrifying aura began to spread.

"Hehehe~~~"

Valk grinned menacingly, "Noxus Locke! I must admit, you're a decent genius, but! Kid! You're far too arrogant! You want to attack me?"

"Who do you think you are?!"

boom! ! !

A terrifying killing intent burst forth from Valk's eyes, and the next moment! An astonishing surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted.

Despite facing Valk's Conqueror's Haki, Locke was not afraid at all and unleashed his own Conqueror's Haki in return.

In an instant!

The two men's terrifying Conqueror's Haki clashed violently, seemingly intent on tearing each other apart. Their terrifying Conqueror's Haki surged, and both men stared intently at each other.

"Hehehe~~~"

Locke grinned, a sinister smile spreading across his face. "Truly worthy of being called a monster of the older generation! Such terrifying Conqueror's Haki! What a pity! Your strength is nothing special! Utterly insignificant!"

That terrifying killing intent burst forth, and Locke's voice was filled with sarcastic remarks.

But!

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that while Locke's Conqueror's Haki isn't weak, it's nowhere near the level of Valky's Conqueror's Haki—in fact, the two are simply not even in the same league.

Locke should be described as being completely suppressed.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Locke continued sarcastically, "Is this what they call the Phoenix? Is this all the strength they have? This much Conqueror's Haki? It's really nothing to brag about!"

"Kid!" Valk's eyes narrowed, and he said menacingly, "Are you looking for death?"

"court death?!!"

Locke said calmly, "Phoenix, since I have accepted Captain Locke's orders, then there is only one outcome today: your death, not mine! I dislike gambling the most. Since I have come here, it means that victory is already in my grasp."

Locke's voice was filled with absolute dominance and arrogance, as if victory in this war was already predetermined.
