Pirate: I'm cracked, but my mutation talent is incredibly strong.

Most of the day later, in a remote part of the Grand Line Paradise.

Lockes was extremely satisfied with his masterpiece of the day.

He has once again successfully slapped the world government in the face.

He did it right in front of the Navy Headquarters, so what!

What can those naval powerhouses and world government experts do to him?

Having escaped danger, Lox relaxed.

Finally, he had time to examine his heavenly treasure and the slaves in the ship's hold.

"Hey, you little bastards, get your asses out here!"

In the cabins and cells of the golden warship in the sky, Lockes looked at the numb-looking slaves and spoke rudely.

Just some elite soldiers.

He didn't need such weak subordinates.

"Our benefactor, our country has perished, please take us in!"

Several young soldiers gradually regained their spirits and immediately spoke up excitedly.

They really didn't expect that anyone would dare to attack the World Government's Sky Gold Battleship.

Then they wouldn't have to go to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise to become miserable Celestial Dragon slaves.

"Hahaha! A man from a fallen nation? I'm now a notorious pirate wanted by the World Government!"

"You want to follow Lao Tzu? Are you prepared to die?!"

"However, forget it. Your strength is too weak. I don't even want to look at you."

Lox looked at the desperate slaves, grinned, and looked down at these weak soldiers without any pity.

"We are not afraid to die!! Sir!"

Among the fifty or sixty prisoners, a small portion of the soldiers from the fallen kingdom immediately spoke up.

But most of the soldiers hesitated. As soldiers of a nation, they really didn't want to become pirates that everyone hated!

Most importantly, they now want to go back to their homeland for one last look.

They need to find the bodies of their deceased family members and bury them...

Finally, I need to find a way to get revenge...

Lox had seen all of these guys' performance.

"Hmph, my ship needs about ten sailors and laborers now..."

"Next island, anyone who wants to leave, get the hell out of here!"

In the end, Rocks did not kill these soldiers of a fallen nation, but gave them a way to live.

"Thank you, my benefactor!"

Some soldiers and prisoners immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude.

···

As the gaze shifted.

"Hey kid, tied up like this, what special abilities do you have?"

Rocks noticed the dark-haired youth who was being held in solitary confinement and bound like an iron ball.

"Ahem... Could you please remove the explosive collar around my neck, and the sea stone handcuffs and leg shackles on my hands and feet...?"

The young man coughed, his weak voice carrying a hint of longing for life.

Upon seeing that domineering figure, he knew he wouldn't become one of Satan Saint's experimental subjects.

If he were to become a test subject, he would truly suffer a fate worse than death.

"Hey kid, answer my question first. You're my trophy now!"

Lox laughed. This brat not only didn't answer his question, but even dared to make a request. He's got some nerve!

"Do you know anything about the World King on Mary Geoise?"

"Also, my name is Fang Huo, Gu Yue Fang Huo!"

Fang Huo sensed the violent aura emanating from Lockes, but a smile appeared on his pale face, and his spirit seemed to relax at this moment.

"What?!"

"You brat, do you know what happens when you lie to me?!"

Locke's expression suddenly changed, his tiger-like eyes fixed on Fang Huo.

He didn't quite believe that this prisoner brat could possibly know information about the King of the World.

It should be noted that information about Im is very vague within the David clan.

"Nerona Im, one of the original twenty kings who has lived for over eight hundred years, is the world king who sits on the Void Throne. Even the Five Elders are merely his canine servants..."

Fang Huo's dry, chapped lips opened and closed, his voice weak, as if he might stop breathing at any moment.

"Hahaha~, you actually know that? Aren't you afraid of Him?"

Rocks' eyes lit up. This brat not only knew about the existence of the King of the World, but he didn't even seem to feel any fear.

Looks like you have some courage and boldness.

He's starting to like the little guy!

You should know that many people on this sea, even some great pirates, will feel fear when they hear the names of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

Rocks readily broke the steel chains binding the courageous young man, unlocked the sea stone handcuffs and leg irons, and threw him out of the sea after breaking the explosive collar.

With a loud "boom".

As the explosion rang out, Fang Huo's life-threatening crisis was averted.

"Why be afraid? We haven't even faced Him directly yet."

"Could you please bring me some water and food? I'm starving and thirsty..."

Fang Huo spoke weakly, as if he regarded Rocks, this ruthless pirate, as one of his own.

"Hahaha! Kid, you're really going to be ruthless!"

Locke was almost angered by Fang Huo's words, but he still handed the food and water to Fang Huo.

Fang Huo wolfed down his food...

"I'm finally alive!"

"Those damn CP agents, they didn't even give me a bite of food or water, they almost killed me."

Fang Huo's complexion had improved considerably, and the crescent-shaped mark on his forehead had regained a faint blue luster.

"If you hadn't tried to escape so many times and attacked those men in black, why would they have treated you like this..."

A young soldier muttered a complaint under his breath.

Because of Fang Huo's resistance and escape, even they were punished, being beaten for no reason and having their food and water reduced.

"Ha! Are we just going to wait to die like you all?!"

Fang Huo snorted coldly. If it weren't for these soldiers' failure to defend their country, which led to the country's destruction and the failure of his plan to survive, he would have been forced to expose his abilities in order to protect himself.

How did we end up like this?!

"Hahaha! Not bad! You little brat, you've got some guts!"

"If you're strong enough, stay on my ship. Otherwise, after I tell you about the King of the World, you can get off my ship too!"

Rocks grew increasingly fond of Fang Huo, this little devil.

However, his plans will not change.

All he needs are powerful subordinates and partners.

The sailors and laborers were only temporarily staying on the ship to keep it running.

"Lox, I see a glimpse of the future. Since fate has chosen us, we are bound to be in the same boat."

After regaining some strength, Fang Huo slowly got up and looked at Lox, this savage monster of the D race.

He met Rocks's gaze directly.

"Seeing the future? Kid, tell me, what did you see?"

Rocks became increasingly interested in Fang Huo's confidence and composure, and crossed his arms and laughed.

"I saw you recruit soldiers and build your own pirate crew, and I also saw you go to Elbaf to find Harald, the King of Giants."

Fang Huo stood up, grabbed some other food, and continued to eat heartily.

"Harald? So he's the King of Giants. No wonder he's so powerful!"

Lockes' eyes lit up; he had only met Harald once.

He still doesn't know Harald's detailed information.

He did indeed want to recruit that powerful giant.

However, his idea to recruit Harald only came to him in the last two days.

Could this kid really see the future?

Is this a prophetic Devil Fruit ability?

No wonder this guy was specially detained by CP agents.

"Locus, do you want to know more information that could change the world?"

"Help me become stronger!"

"The stronger I am, the more of the future I can see. I can even foresee information about the three ancient weapons."

As Fang Huo finished eating and drinking, the crescent moon mark on his forehead emitted a faint blue light, directly revealing his needs and purpose to Lockes.

"The Three Ancient Weapons?!?"

"Hahaha!! Fang Huo, I hereby declare you officially my first partner!"

"I will make you stronger!"

"Let's turn this world upside down and bring down that world king from his pedestal!"

Rocks' eyes flashed with golden light. He never expected that by stealing the gold from the sky to prepare development funds and a pirate ship for himself, he would also gain a subordinate with the ability to foresee the future.

It seems that even fate is on his side!

He will definitely defeat that old monster, then seize the whole world and become the king of the world!
