Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

do not know!

They didn't know if they could survive, but waiting here meant certain death. Leaving was the only way to have a chance of survival. Everything was already laid out before them, so...

So……

Everything has become meaningless. Let's give it a try and see what happens next. No matter what, stay true to your beliefs and stay true to yourself. That's the most important thing.

Everyone walked out of the slave city step by step, no matter what! Even if they were to face death next, they still had to face hope, and even if it was a faint hope, they still had to try.

after all!

This is a chance to survive! Six years ago, some of them left alive, while many more were recaptured. If that's the case, then why weren't they the ones who left?!

This is what everyone thinks!

"Hehehe~~~"

Locke stood on high ground, a smile playing on his lips, and said with interest, "The slaves have already begun to move! And what follows will be the greatest chaos. Most of the World Government's forces have already been dispatched, and it will take time to mobilize them from other places."

"Fifteen minutes!"

"Hmm~"

"Fifteen minutes have passed now, and it will only last for a maximum of thirty minutes!"

"In other words!"

"No matter what the outcome is in thirty minutes, even if Shiki doesn't come back, we still have to leave."

"Ok!"

Najenda's figure appeared behind Locke, and she nodded seriously, saying, "Your Highness! It will only take fifteen minutes at most, and that's only because of the large number of slaves. Otherwise, it won't be enough time at all."

"no problem."

Locke smiled and nodded, saying, "These problems are nothing at all. But what's next is the most interesting part. Let me try and see what the outcome will be!"

A smile appeared on his face, while a sharp glint appeared in Locke's eyes.

opportunity!

This is the best opportunity, to be honest! Locke never expected that Captain Locke would come up with such a mission—to directly attack the Red Line?!

Good guy!

This situation was something I simply couldn't imagine.

But!

Locke, however, was absolutely confident. After all, the opportunity was right in front of him, and it would be too shameful to miss such an opportunity! Moreover, this was the result right before his eyes, and he was determined to seize it. Once he grasped it, he would definitely get everything he wanted.

"All right!"

Locke said calmly, "Najshitan, let's split up. The next fifteen minutes are the most important time for us. If we succeed, considering what Najenda has done in the North Sea, everything else will be enough."

"Yes!"

Najenda bowed her head respectfully, her expression full of reverence. She was prepared for this; she would not be inferior to Esdeath.

Chapter 86: You're asking the Rocks Pirates, a bunch of lunatics, to take someone away?!

Snapped!

Snapped!

With slow footsteps, Locke gradually entered the shop, a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Shopkeeper, could you please take out the items from the shop?"

"..."

"Noxus Locke!"

"A high-ranking officer of the Rocks Pirates!"

"really!"

"If I'm not mistaken, on this ocean, the only people who can cause trouble on the Red Line are your Rocks Pirates, a bunch of lunatics."

Inside the shop was an elderly man in his sixties or seventies, dressed in a black suit. However, he wore a smile, as if he was not surprised at all by Locke's arrival.

"So……"

Locke smiled and said, "Isn't it time to bring out what needs to be brought out?!"

"What problem!"

The elderly shopkeeper, without any hesitation, smiled and nodded, then strode into the back of the shop. Soon, he emerged carrying a series of treasure chests, calmly saying, "This is everything in the shop, worth a total of 7 million Berries. Your timing is a bit unfortunate. Admittedly, you had a good opportunity, but unfortunately, a whole cart of goods and Berries was just delivered this morning. Now, only this remains in the shop."

"Well!"

"What a pity!"

Locke wasn't annoyed at all. He raised his hand and sent everything into the Imperial Arms space, smiling as he said, "Well then, shopkeeper, thank you for your help this time. Goodbye."

Locke turned around as if he hadn't been noticed when he came, and walked back into the darkness, disappearing peacefully once more.

"Store manager?!"

As Locke left, two shop assistants came out and asked curiously, "Manager! Why didn't you even resist? Even if the other party was from the Rocks Pirates, there seemed to be no need for you to act like that, right?"

"Hehehe~~~"

"You guys!"

The elderly shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, looking at the two employees gently, and said, "You two are both my disciples. You should be thinking things through, not just considering things like this. Have you only seen the surface? Come on! Tell me, what do you think the outcome will be?"

"result……"

Hearing the elderly shop manager's words, the first employee, the one who had just asked the question, said, "Manager! If you delay a little, at most it will be..."

"How many minutes, hmm?"

Five minutes?!

"Ten minutes?!"

"Fifteen minutes?!"

"The Red Line has been in chaos for seventeen minutes now. How long do you think it will take for the people of the Red Line to reach us? And given the World Government's power, even if they help first, it definitely won't be us. So, what do you think the outcome will be?"

"This……"

The first shop assistant fell silent. It's undeniable that his considerations were incomplete; he hadn't thought things through.

"Hehehe~~~"

"Still too young!"

The old shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, then turned his gaze to the other disciple and continued to ask, "What do you think? Noxus Rock, as a member of the Rocks Pirates, and a top-ranking one at that! After only six years at sea, at just 21 years old, he became a top-ranking member of the Rocks Pirates. How long do you think it would take for such a monster to kill the three of us, the old, weak, and disabled?"

"This……"

The second employee hesitated slightly, then said respectfully, "Manager! It will only take a moment at most, or even just a moment! Killing us is as easy as a joke, and we can be dealt with effortlessly."

"Not bad!"

The old shopkeeper smiled and nodded, saying, "Since that's the case, then the outcome is already decided. If you obediently hand over the treasure, we can live. But if you choose to resist, then the result is certain death. So, what choice will you make?" (chag)

"bring it on!"

"Let me see your choices!"

The elderly shopkeeper pulled out a chair and sat down, simply smiling as he looked at his two apprentices.

He is already 70 years old, and for him, the position of store manager is actually nearing retirement. Because of this, he needs to test his two disciples to see which one is suitable to succeed him. And this is the most important core issue.

I'm not kidding!

All of this is absolutely crucial. Seizing this opportunity, or rather, understanding and handling all of this, is the most important thing.

after all!

All of this is right before our eyes, and if it is not handled properly, it will be extremely dangerous.

"This……"

Hearing the elderly shop manager's question, both shop assistants fell into thought and began to consider it.

The first shop assistant pondered, "Manager, based on the timeline, we're bound to die, and all the treasure will be found. In the end, nothing will change. It seems the only change is that we'll die."

"Not bad!"

The elderly shop manager smiled and nodded.

The second shop assistant continued, "That's exactly why! This is something we have no right to change! If that's the case, then we might as well obediently hand over all the treasure. The shop won't suffer any damage, and we'll survive, even if we lose all the treasure."

"but!"

The second shop assistant, however, said with a very serious expression, "Although we've lost everything, it's not a big problem at all. After all, it's not just us who's in trouble; everyone is affected. And living and running a shop in this Red Earth Continent isn't easy. In other words..."

"Our position will become increasingly important."

"Hehehe~~~"

"Not bad!"
