Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"Indeed!"

The two were chatting casually, but one thing was certain: Locke was always like this. For so many years, Locke had always maintained this attitude, as if he didn't care about anything at all.

Therefore!

The two men could understand Locke's situation, because in Locke's heart, these things were nothing at all; in essence, they were just a small matter. Since they were small matters, why should he dwell on them so much?

Apparently!

Anyone who isn't an idiot would clearly understand whether or not this matter needs some consideration. But for Locke, as long as he can get the money, that's enough; everything else is irrelevant.

As for them, they knew very well what kind of personality Locke had.

"But!"

“WOrororo~~~”

Kaido laughed maniacally, his expression extremely cruel, and said, "I'm incredibly excited! Locke actually managed to do this! If I were much weaker than Locke, it would be too shameful!"

At this moment!

Kaido's eyes flashed with a terrifying light. In Kaido's eyes, he had always been Locke's opponent. As for others? No one else was worthy of being Locke's opponent. Now that his opponent had already gone this far...

So!

Of course, he couldn't let his guard down. Kaido grinned with amusement. He wanted to see what Kaido could do, and he was sure he could do it just as easily.

Isn't this just common sense?!

Therefore!

Kaido's eyes flashed with a terrifying light, making him look like a monstrous demon. His ferocious appearance was enough to send chills down one's spine just by looking at him; in fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a feeling of trembling.

It's absolutely terrifying!!!

Kaido!

It's okay to be defeated by anyone, to admit that you're no match for anyone, and to work hard to improve in the future. It's not a big problem.

But!

For Kaido, the most unacceptable thing is that he is no match for Locke! Seriously? How could he be no match for Locke? Don't be ridiculous! This is something he absolutely cannot accept! Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely! It's simply unacceptable. This is Kaido's inner thought. In Kaido's view, he and Locke are evenly matched, and he absolutely cannot be weaker than Locke.

"Worororo~~~"

"Young ones!"

"Set sail!"

"Let the ocean see just how strong we really are!"

"Roar!"

In response to Kaido, deafening roars echoed as everyone howled to the sky, their eyes gleaming with a sharp light. They weren't about to give up; they were all terrifying madmen with their own agendas!

Such a situation!

This didn't just happen to Kaido; to be precise, it happened to every single member of the Rocks Pirates.

For the entire Rocks Pirates!

everyone...

After witnessing Locke's madness, they felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, they were even more excited about these guys!

joke!

If Locke can do this, how could they possibly be complacent?

This is absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely! There is no possibility of anything happening between them. They will not relax their guard in the slightest. On the contrary, each of them will go straight for the other and will be ruthless in their attacks. There is absolutely no doubt about that.

This was what they all thought, and a sharp glint flashed in everyone's eyes.

This!

The Rocks Pirates—these madmen of the Rocks Pirates, upon seeing the inferno before them, their first reaction wasn't, "Should I back down?" Instead… "Since it's a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire, then I should charge in even more!"

This is the nature of the madmen in the Rocks Pirates. For these terrifyingly madmen, everything else is essentially meaningless, because they simply don't care about anything else.

This is the group of terrifying lunatics!

These people are insane!

These are terrifying!

These monsters!

It can be said……

This is the true nature of the Rocks Pirates. Because of this, under normal circumstances, no one truly wants to face them. This is no joke; it's a stark reality. They are a group of terrifying monsters, and who knows just how astonishing their power truly is!

Even said!

What will happen next?

Therefore!

Under these circumstances, what follows is the most terrifying and troublesome thing, because this is the very core issue!

……

The other side!

Naval Headquarters!

Marineford!

here!

This is the core location of the world's navies, and it is also known as the most righteous place on the high seas. Of course, Locke's name for this place is rather special, but given Locke's personality, it seems only natural.

kennel!!!

That's right!

That's what Locke calls it, and that's also part of his personality—just kidding! In Locke's eyes, isn't this just a doghouse? Those Marines! Do they even need to be taken seriously?!

Hehehe~~~

Those guys are nothing but dogs kept by the World Government. Since they're just dogs kept by the government, it's completely meaningless. Anyone who isn't an idiot understands what's going on. The Navy, however, is unaware of this.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

"Master Marshal!"

"Marshal..."

"Oh no!"

"Master Marshal!"

With a series of urgent shouts, the entire Marine Headquarters was in complete chaos, a veritable whirlwind of activity. At this moment, the entire Marine Headquarters was utterly and completely in disarray. This was no joke; all sorts of chaotic matters had come to a head.

All sorts!

What a mess!

This is no joke...

Everything has completely fallen into chaos.

Have no idea!

Currently, massive upheavals are occurring in virtually every region, from the Four Seas and the Grand Line to the New World. And what's more! The Rocks Pirates' targets aren't ordinary countries; they're all member states! These member states, even with the slightest problem, usually trigger a massive response from the Navy, like dogs on a mission. Now? Needless to say! Problems are erupting simultaneously in various parts of the world, driving the Navy Headquarters to the brink of madness.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they ran themselves ragged.

Have no idea!

It's all so chaotic, a complete mess. The whole world is in utter chaos. It's utterly helpless and impossible to deal with. Under these circumstances, all sorts of messy things are simply too chaotic and difficult to manage.

"I see!"

"Ok!"

"it is good!"

At this moment.

In the Fleet Admiral's office at the Naval Headquarters, the elderly Fleet Admiral was extremely busy, surrounded by all sorts of work, and he was truly at his wit's end!

Have no idea!

There were just too many things happening, and in just one day, everything was completely thrown into chaos. Because of this, the Marine Headquarters was truly unable to withstand the immense turmoil.

this!

This is not a joke; it's a genuine situation where I couldn't bear it anymore and had no other choice!

The Rocks Pirates are moving way too fast, they're almost there! There's no way he can deny it, there's nothing he can do! All sorts of problems are messy and complicated, but he has to admit that this whole bunch of problems are just too much of a hassle.

"Ugh!"

With a helpless sigh and a silent shake of his head, he, as the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, felt an immense headache at this moment. The main reason was that he never dreamed the Rocks Pirates would act so recklessly, as if they had gone mad!
