Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

If you want to truly improve your strength, then the best way is through relentless battles, one battle after another! That's how you'll achieve the greatest improvement and truly undergo a transformation.

"Whoo~~~"

Letting out a deep breath, Locke followed suit, stretching his limbs slightly, and said, "To be honest, for so many years I've been researching some things, but there's no one suitable to conduct experiments. Now, we can give it a try!"

Crackling!

The man moved his muscles and bones, while Locke walked step by step toward his opponent.

"Worororo~~~"

"Locke?!"

Kaido's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he muttered in a low voice, "You bastard! Just what level have you reached? What kind of improvement has your strength undergone?"

"Search~~~"

"I also find it very interesting!"

"Just right!"

"Let's give it a try today. Let me see if you've reached a terrifying level!"

Kaido, carrying his spiked club, also walked towards his opponent on the other side.

It is undeniable!

time!

Six years have passed, and Locke and Kaido have undoubtedly seen a huge increase in strength since joining the Rocks Pirates. However! Under such circumstances, their strength has become a mystery.

Locke is extremely strong, but what about Kaido?! This guy has rarely made a move in the past six years.

But!

Because of Locke's encouragement, Kaido's strength has also increased dramatically. After all, he is a genius-level talent, so it would be strange if he couldn't achieve this!

Therefore!

Kaido's strength is increasing rapidly, and Locke's strength is also increasing rapidly. It can be said that this is an extremely huge improvement in a short period of time. This huge improvement is definitely not a joke.

to be frank!

Kaido's strength has increased far too rapidly. Compared to the original story, Kaido's strength has been enhanced in a terrifying way.

at this point!

The root cause comes from Locke.

no way!

When there is a huge stimulus, then! The core of this huge stimulus is here: Kaido's original strength grew rapidly under the pressure of the Rocks Pirates, but! This growth does not mean that Kaido's full 0.6 potential was released.

Quite the opposite!

To fully unleash Kaido's potential, he needs even greater pressure, just like right now. Due to the pressure from Locke and his unwillingness to admit defeat, Kaido's strength has also increased.

"Want to see for yourself?!"

Upon hearing Kaido's words, Locke smiled and said quite naturally, "Then let's give it a try!"

"Hehehe~~~"

Hearing Locke's words, Kaido sneered and strode menacingly toward his opponent, carrying his spiked club.

A special force from the World Government!

They possess immense strength and extremely unique identities, which makes them the most suitable opponents for these two individuals.

Both of them had extremely sharp eyes, and their next goal was very simple: to see just how powerful their opponent was.

same!

These two wanted to test just how much their strength had improved; that was their idea.

Again!

These two grew up in the terrifying environment of the Rocks Pirates, but just how much did they grow? Who knows! Perhaps they reached an unparalleled level of terror!

Chapter 89: Steel Fist + Soft Fist + Xingyi Fist

Snapped!

Snapped!

Crackling!

Locke walked step by step toward his opponent, stretching his limbs slightly, his whole body making a sound like popping beans.

"bring it on!"

Locke looked at his opponent and smiled, but his eyes flashed with a cruel smile, revealing a terrifying killing intent.

Search!

Search!

Two blood-red figures rushed straight towards Locke.

Blood Warrior!

These are their names. They only use these numbers as their names, from number 1 to number 25. As for their original names?

Feel sorry!

That's a complete fabrication. Their original names have been discarded; to be precise, they've lost their original names. They never actually had any original names.

Therefore!

This is their transformation. Facing Locke are Number 4 and Number 5, two genuine near-General/First Vice-General level powerhouses. Their strength should be roughly equal to Locke's, but sometimes, even with similar strength, the difference in their fighting style and the power they unleash can be worlds apart.

Wave!!!

Locke clenched his fists and met the attack of Number 4 and Number 5 with a very calm expression. One clenched his fist and the other raised his leg.

In an instant!

A terrifying shockwave surged forth as the three collided, instantly shattering the surrounding air. All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and immediately afterward, a terrifying battle commenced.

fast!

fast!

It was simply too fast. Locke's burst of speed was terrifying, enough to send chills down one's spine. With such terrifying speed, even the combined efforts of Number 4 and Number 5 couldn't quickly suppress Locke. In fact, despite being evenly matched, the three of them were suppressed by Locke.

The two of them tried their best, but could only keep up with Locke's pace.

This is the core of Locke's horror.

Locke's physical attributes!

Or!

Although Locke doesn't possess Devil Fruit powers, his essential qualities—Haki, physique, speed, strength, and so on—are incredibly terrifying; he has cultivated them to an astonishing level.

This is what Locke excels at, and with such amazing enhancement, even against two equally powerful opponents, fighting two against one is not difficult for Locke at all.

"Tiger!!!"

"Roar!"

Locke suddenly let out a low growl, and the next moment, he clenched his fist and threw a punch, his entire figure seemingly transforming into a roaring tiger.

The roaring tiger howled to the sky, and Locke's fist came crashing down.

The punch landed directly on number 4.

In an instant!

Number 4's face turned extremely pale, and almost instantly, he was sent flying backward. However, he didn't seem to care about his injuries at all. He leaped forward and stood up again. A strange scene gradually appeared: Number 4's injuries were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short time, he had completely recovered.

"..."

Remaining calm, Number 4 walked over step by step again.

"Hmm~"

Locke looked at Number 4 with interest and said, "That's quite impressive recovery ability, but! Your recovery ability is very special. It's not your own recovery ability! Or rather, it belongs to someone else's recovery ability, but! What exactly is the core of it?!"

"That's really interesting!"

Locke's smile deepened as he found the situation increasingly amusing. After all, unless he was an idiot, he could tell that Number 4 was definitely not a Devil Fruit user. And if he wasn't a Devil Fruit user, then where did he get such regenerative abilities?

Is it a rare talent?!

impossible!

This is what Locke finds interesting. In other words, these are other people's Devil Fruit abilities, but whose Devil Fruit ability it is, and who is displaying it, is still unclear.

Of course!

Locke remained calm in the face of all this; no matter what, the battle had to continue.

Crackling!
