Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

But!

same!

Since this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, then! When the day comes that I devour you, don't be angry at all!

Locke hadn't experienced much, but under the attack of the Germa Kingdom, especially with the death of his father, he became like a beast breaking free of its cage, growing more and more terrifying.

Ambition!

terror!

Crazy!

All of this is a gradual process of settling down and growing. As time goes by, when Locke truly completes his transformation and truly matures...

that time.

This ocean.

Do not!

Do not!

The whole world will undergo earth-shattering changes.

"Oh, right!" Locke seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Those Navy dogs should be coming soon too."

"after all!"

"As a prince from a non-member state, he actually killed the king of a member state, along with many ministers and subjects. This is unacceptable to the World Government, and they will definitely send the navy to punish him!"

Locke's smile grew increasingly sarcastic.

navy!

It is undeniable that they were indeed pursuing justice, as can be seen from the three generations of marshals: Sora, Sengoku, and Sakazuki.

They are indeed pursuing justice.

But!

to be honest!

They are just dogs of the World Government, dogs kept by the Five Elders. They do whatever they are told to do.

As for Locke, he had indeed made some preparations, and as long as there were no deviations, Noxus would not encounter any unexpected events.

"Hmm~"

Esdeath looked at Locke's terrifying, beast-like eyes and the astonishing aura emanating from him, and her smile grew even wider.

Esdeath's greatest admiration is for the strong. Seeing her little prince, who, though not yet a true powerhouse, displays the qualities of one, her smile grows ever wider.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Sebastian, having already cleaned up the battlefield, led his soldiers over. He placed one hand on his chest and said respectfully, "The battlefield has been cleaned up. Some research equipment is intact, and we are ready to move it, along with a great deal of gold and silver treasure!"

even though.

Esdeath destroyed it quite thoroughly, but during the cleanup of the battlefield, there were still some spoils of war left.

"Take all the gold and silver treasures back. As for the equipment? Sell it once you've confirmed it's safe." Locke calmly instructed, "Sebastian, you and Alice, while I'm away, you'll handle the internal affairs of the kingdom, while Esdeath will deal with the external issues."

"Yes!"

Sebastian naturally knew what his prince wanted to do.

But he was powerless to stop it and could only silently accept the orders.

Chapter 9: Esdeath's Strength, the Silent General

Day two.

I've explained most of what I needed to explain.

Locke remained very calm during training.

Regardless of what the future holds.

Locke would never let his guard down, especially when it came to his own strength.

after all!

The strong are respected!

The weak eat the strong!

This is the truth of the ocean.

For this ocean, this is the most important thing.

Wow~~~

Wow~~~

As the waves surged, Locke narrowed his eyes slightly, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips. Looking at the approaching ship, he said sarcastically, "As expected of a good dog of the World Government! Coming from Marine Headquarters to the North Blue, that's fast enough."

Locke does not deny that there are truly righteous individuals within the Navy.

Have!

there must be!

This is absolutely beyond doubt!

only……

Locke truly loathed the navy, and he wasn't kidding! Where were you trash when my country was attacked? Where were you trash when my home was in trouble?

Good guy!

Now the Germa Kingdom is attacking my country, and I've already killed my opponent, and now you guys are coming?

Does he look like a champion of justice?

"Hehehe~~~"

"It's disgusting!" Locke chuckled sarcastically, his voice icy. "What a bunch of good dogs!"

Forget it.

Locke didn't think that much about it either.

Next.

I should have left by now. Why did I wait until now? I could have left yesterday.

after all!

Domestic affairs can be left to Sebastian and Alice. Although they are just a butler and a maid, it is not a problem for them to manage such a small country with a population of only a little over 100,000.

Leaving the outside matters to Esdeath is sufficient. Given Esdeath's formidable reputation earned in the Germa Kingdom, even though she's a newcomer, generally no one will target her.

The premise is: Locke absolutely must leave!!!

As for whether or not we can trust these three people?

The first two were people who watched him grow up. If they wanted this country, Locke could even give it to them.

after all.

They've been busy with these jobs since they were young.

As for the latter?

joke!

Each Teigu user has their own Teigu spirit, and they are absolutely loyal. Teigu users also have all sorts of thoughts and feelings, but their loyalty to Locke is absolutely beyond question.

"Your Highness..."

The little maid followed obediently beside Locke, hesitant to speak.

“Let’s go,” Locke said calmly. “The Navy is coming for me. They won’t leave unless I show up. I will leave in front of them.”

"so……"

Locke gazed at the distant highland palace and said quietly, "Noxus can enjoy a period of peace, and as long as my reputation grows and my status on the seas rises, then Noxus will be less and less likely to encounter trouble."

Snapped!

Snapped!

As soon as he finished speaking, Locke strode away, and the two maids quickly followed.

port!

Esdeath stood tall and proud at the port, a smile playing on her lips, and said softly, "Is there something the Navy has to do in Noxus?"

"..."

Looking at Esdeath, who exuded an unwelcoming aura, the man standing on the deck of the naval warship remained calm, as if he had no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.
