Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

It is undeniable!

When I reached a bounty of 6 million, it was an inflated figure. But now! I've accomplished the impossible task of annihilating the Phoenix Pirates! Good heavens! Based on the Phoenix Pirates' bounty of 17 billion, I should at least raise my own bounty to 15 billion. In other words, I've just worked hard to make up for it and have truly reached a level that matches my 6 million bounty.

result!

His bounty had become artificially inflated again, and he could only continue to work hard to make up for it.

"never mind!"

"never mind!"

"Take it slow. There's no need to rush anything. Just take it slow and that's enough."

Locke shook his head with a sigh. No matter what, there was no point in rushing anything. He could only take it slowly. No matter how anxious he was, it was all meaningless to improve his strength.

and!

His strength had increased to an extremely terrifying level. He was born with terrifying talent and physique, and with three enhancements, his physique had been strengthened to an extremely terrifying degree.

But the problem is!

These are all foundational assets, and it takes time for these assets to be transformed into strength. Locke is very serious about these things and is very clear about how to handle everything that follows.

"Um?!"

"We're almost there!"

Locke looked into the distance, his eyes narrowing slightly as he saw the massive pirate fleet gradually emerging.

Rocks Pirates!

The Black Pearl!

A massive fleet of 50 pirate ships!

Do not!

Do not!

The once massive fleet of 50 ships has undergone a tremendous change, completely transformed into 51 ships. For the Rocks Pirates, with Rock completing this near-impossible mission, everything has naturally changed.

"Humph!"

Locke's lips curled into a smile as he gazed into the distance with amusement.

at the same time!

"They're back!" Kaido gazed into the distance, squinting at the approaching pirate ship.

"Ok!"

Snake nodded and calmly said, "Although I guessed that Locke would succeed, I never expected that Locke would actually kill the Phoenix and wipe out the entire Phoenix Pirates. It's simply unbelievable!"

"Indeed!"

Kaido also strongly agreed with the snake theory.

The Phoenix Pirates!

Phoenix: Valk!

This monster's strength is absolutely unquestionable, mainly because! The regenerative power of that special Phoenix Fruit is the most terrifying and important thing. After all! Just like when Jhin and Queen were fighting Marco, they were saying the same thing: Is this guy immortal?

This is the most outrageous ability of the Phoenix Fruit—it grants near-immortality. You want to get rid of this guy? That's simply impossible!

result!

Rocks actually succeeded! Even within the Rocks Pirates, the six top officers had all defeated the Phoenix, but to say that they could reliably kill the Phoenix? That's hard to say, and no one dares to claim absolute certainty.

This is the core of the matter.

Kaido and Snake both knew this very well, but Locke succeeded, which proves that Locke definitely did it through some special means.

but!

never mind……

For the Rocks Pirates, they don't care about the process, only the result. As long as your mission is completed, that's enough.

"Yo!"

"Locke, you're back?"

"what!"

Hearing Kaido's greeting, Locke's lips curled up, and he said with interest, "It worked! It's pretty much what I planned. Although there might be a few slight differences, it's still not bad. At least, there weren't any major problems."

"Hehehe~~~"

The snake chuckled softly, "Interesting! Interesting! It's truly intriguing, Locke! How exactly did you manage to do that? What method did you use to actually eliminate the phoenix?"

Locke shrugged and laughed, "Who knows! Nobody knows what kind of methods it will use, but who knows! Maybe one day it will be used on you!"

"cut!"

"Search~~~"

Snake licked his lips with amusement, his smile both eerie and sinister. He was genuinely curious about how Locke had managed it, but obviously, Locke wouldn't tell him.

after all!

Such a method is truly astonishing; it actually succeeded! This is a terrifying killing move. Even Valk, who possesses the Phoenix Fruit, died. So, what will happen to the others?

Apparently!

At that time, no matter how powerful a person is, they will need to carefully consider and think carefully about what will happen when facing Locke.

"I'm leaving." Locke greeted the two men and said, "I need to go and turn in my mission to Captain Locke."

Done.

Locke leaped up and headed straight for the Black Pearl. As Locke landed on the Black Pearl and walked into the cabin, many people were pondering and discussing.

"Tell me! How exactly did that brat Locke manage to do this?"

"uncertain!"

"If this kid has a special method, then he's just incredibly lucky!"

"what?!"

"Dude! Are you an idiot?"

"You try and get lucky and kill the Phoenix directly?!"

"Uh~~~"

The person who said this had a slight twitch at the corner of their mouth and muttered, "There's nothing we can do! That's just how it is. Whether we admit it or deny it, that's how it is, and nobody can change it!"

"Indeed!"

They clicked their tongues, and everyone was extremely curious about what would happen next, or rather, how the situation would change. That was the most interesting thing, after all!

With Locke having defeated Phoenix Valk, he has now officially become a member of a pirate crew.

once!

The three brothers, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, accomplished the impossible and became executives with pirate ships. Now, Locke has also accomplished this. So, many people need to consider the situation when facing Locke, Kaido, and Snake. Now, only Locke remains, so... that's something to think about.

What will happen next?

Can we take everything from this guy?

This is an idea that many people are pondering, but! As I said before, no matter what the idea is, if it doesn't succeed, then it's all meaningless.

Besides! 210

Locke really did kill the Phoenix and wipe out the Phoenix Pirates. Under such circumstances, what happens next is very interesting. You need to think carefully about how to handle everything that follows.

"Hmm~"

Many people were squinting, wondering whether they could kill Locke and take everything from him, or...

This is something many people are considering, but! Many people are shocked. It is undeniable that Locke's actions this time are indeed quite astonishing.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Watching Locke walk down the road, his back obscured, the two of them chatted idly.

"Silver Axe!" A tall man with a huge suit of armor and a long, beautiful beard asked with interest, "How do you think this brat managed to do that?"

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, a tall man clad in silver medieval armor said indifferently, "I have no interest in this brat! He's just a mere brat, he won't threaten my position, and he's meaningless to me."

"Hehehe~~~"

"Silver Axe!"

"What you said is true! However, if we could bring such a brat under our control, it would be good for our power."

"&+ Wang Zhi!"

"You're interested in this brat?"

Silver Axe turned his head to look at the man stroking his beard, raised an eyebrow, and revealed an amused expression.
