Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Leone looted the palace, but she never expected to bring back so much treasure.

30 billion Baileys!

This number is actually quite astonishing.

Don't be fooled by Locke's seemingly ever-growing wealth; it's because he dances on the edge of a sword, naturally reaping greater rewards.

But the same applies!!!

Even so.

but!

Noxus was once targeted by the Germa Kingdom because of its 30 billion Berries treasure. This shows what 30 billion Berries really represents and what it means.

This is the truly important core.

Locke nodded in agreement with Leone's words, saying, "Not surprising! The Kingdom of Hod, also known as the Kingdom of Stone, has very special stone materials that many countries need to purchase. 30 billion Berries is just the royal family's treasury; what about the greater treasures?"

"Humph!"

Locke's lips curled up, and he said with interest, "The entire Kingdom of Hod, all the nobles, have a total of about 130 billion Berries in their hands, and that doesn't even include the royal treasures you hold."

"Humph!"

"These trash!"

Leone curled her lip in displeasure. It was a fortune of 60 billion, and what use was such wealth? You guys were just keeping it, and you were never going to take it out, right?

Therefore!

Leone was genuinely annoyed by this garbage.

"Besides that!" Locke said, playing with the two Devil Fruits in his hand, "This harvest is pretty good! Two Devil Fruits, this harvest is really good. Counting the Devil Fruits obtained from completing the mission, the total number has reached five."

Locke's smile was very deep. A total of 5 Devil Fruits? Actually, that was enough. After all, to be honest, these 5 Devil Fruits, including the 4 he already had, were more than enough.

This amount!

That means we've already reached a solid 9 pieces! With that, much is self-evident; this quantity is enough for him to accomplish a great deal. However, Locke isn't in a hurry to summon his Imperial Arms. There's no need to rush now, unless he summons an Imperial Arms user with overwhelming power.

otherwise……

Simply relying on the strength of an Imperial Arms user is meaningless; it won't change anything in this war. Locke needs to consider other things.

"Hmm~"

"but!"

Locke pondered, "Besides that, there's another matter that's rather troublesome! The real crux of the matter is that the ocean is about to become extremely chaotic, and if we don't have a mission after returning to the Black Pearl, then we'll have missed an opportunity!"

"I think……"

Leone pondered, "Your Highness, you may have some special mission. Captain Rocks can't simply let you rest like this. After all, this operation is so large. It would seem very strange to let you rest like this."

"Um?!"

"Indeed!"

Locke pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. It was undeniable that Leone's idea was correct. Because of this, after carefully considering all the circumstances, he said, "Let's go! No matter what happens next, what we need to do now is return to the Black Pearl."

"and……"

"It seems that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the entire ocean will be plunged into a massive upheaval in the next few days. At that point, things will be very uncertain."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Locke's command, Leone naturally nodded respectfully without any hesitation.

Wow~~~

Wow~~~

The pirate ship sped off into the distance.

……

at the same time!!!

Following Locke's world-shaking act, the next attack began. However, compared to Locke's assassination methods, the world actually descended into a state of madness.

The Rocks Pirates were acting as if they had gone into a berserk state; they were completely insane...

"kill!"

"kill!"

"Brothers, conquer this country for me! Once we conquer it, all the treasures are yours, I won't take a single penny!"

"Roar!"

This was a member of the Rocks Pirates, and the response he received was the frenzied roar of all the pirates under his command. Originally, they looked like terrifying wild beasts, but at this moment, their state was even more like that of real wild beasts.

It looked absolutely terrifying. These monstrous beasts were enough to send chills down your spine just by looking at them. This was no joke; they were truly terrifying, as if they possessed invincible power.

They looked like terrifying monsters!

boom!

boom!

Rumble~~~

The roar of cannons echoed wildly, and the entire sea seemed to churn. In a short time, the country had fallen into chaos, utter chaos. No matter how hard they tried, they were completely helpless. It was unimaginable to face such a terrifying monster. Just how terrifying was this monster? What an astonishing existence!

hum~~~

With each piercing roar, a gaping hole was torn open in the battlefield.

"Oh hoo!"

"Brothers, kill! Kill! Victory is just around the corner!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Money! Beauty!

Everything belongs to us now!

"That's right!"

"kill!"

The pirates went berserk, launching a frenzied attack like a bunch of madmen. In their eyes, this gaping hole was the key to wealth; once they grasped it, the rewards would be terrifying.

They all seemed to have gone mad.

only!

For this country, it was a loud cry: "Attention! Attention! Everyone, pay attention! Don't back down! Be careful! Be careful! Be alert!"

These deafening shouts were accompanied by loud roars.

The entire ocean!

Everything had changed drastically at this moment, with everyone desperately trying to fend off the pirates' attack.

because!

They were perfectly aware of the consequences if these pirates were allowed to invade the country. In fact, it was beyond doubt that once these people entered the country, the entire ocean would be utterly destroyed and thrown into chaos.

Your own country will be completely slaughtered. Never underestimate these pirates! These guys are a bunch of complete lunatics. They have no feelings. If you let your guard down with these guys, then you will be the one who dies! Never doubt it! I'll say it again.

dead!

That was the only outcome, and that's why every soldier fought with all their might. After all, their families were behind them, and if their families fell like that, it would be too despairing. What might happen next—no, it should be said, what would definitely happen—was something they simply couldn't accept.

It's just...

This is not just a problem in this country, but in the ocean; it applies to all countries. And this is what truly makes people feel despair! This is the real, most hopeless outcome: even if they fight with all their might, the final result is still defeat.

because!

This is the Rocks Pirates! This utterly berserk Rocks Pirates have shown the sea who the most terrifying monster is! Who the most terrifying monster is!!!

Wow~~~

Wow~~~

"Worororo~~~"

Kaido looked at the intelligence report in his hand and let out a hearty, maniacal laugh. He said with a ferocious grin, "That Locke guy, he really is something! He actually managed to do something like this. He's really not simple! Such methods and such actions are simply too astonishing!"

Kaido's lips curled into a grin, his entire being filled with a crazed expression. To be honest, Kaido had never expected Locke to do such a thing. Given Locke's personality, it was rather strange that he would do something like this.

"Hehehe~~~"

"Locke!"

A figure clad in a jet-black cloak stood beside Kaido, making it impossible to discern his identity. His voice was hoarse and cold as he asked, "Kaido, what do you think is the reason behind Locke's actions?"

“That’s not surprising at all,” Kaido said casually. “Locke’s personality is just like that, it’s always been like this. Do you think Locke would care about these things, given his personality?”
