Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

With the old king's death, Locke had not yet inherited the throne, and the Germa Kingdom was already pressing him again.

"Your Highness!" Sebastian suddenly spoke up, "Why don't you escape? Abandon the Germa Kingdom, leave the North Sea, and with your talent, head to the Grand Line, head to the New World. One day, you will be able to rebuild Noxus!"

"Run away..."

Locke murmured those words, then calmly shook his head and said, "No need. I enjoyed what I was entitled to, so naturally I should take responsibility for it."

"Sebastian."

"do not worry."

"I will handle this matter."

"How much longer until we reach the Germa Kingdom?"

"Three days!"

"Your Highness!"

"The Germa Kingdom will arrive in Noxus in at most three days."

Sebastian felt a sense of relief mixed with helplessness upon receiving the report, much like the feeling of his own child growing up but not being obedient.

“I understand.” Locke nodded calmly, his eyes sharp. “That’s enough!”

Chapter 2: I have 48 Imperial Arms

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

They walked back to the palace step by step.

Noxus Island.

hmm~~~

This is not a large island; even if it were fully inhabited, it would be a small island that could accommodate no more than a million people.

In the center of Noxus Island lies a place that resembles the King's Highlands of the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

The very first Noxian king built his palace here.

Locke climbed the steps one by one, looked at the ancient palace in front of him, and stepped inside.

Worth to talk about!

Noxus.

even though.

This has always been a small country, but it has existed for hundreds, even thousands of years; it is an ancient country.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

As Locke returned, all the maids bowed their heads respectfully.

It's just...

Are they truly loyal?

Hard to say!

Hard to say!

Money moves people's hearts.

This treasure, totaling 30 billion Berries, has attracted many countries in the North Sea to send representatives here. What are they thinking? There's no doubt about it!

only!

The Germa Kingdom practically plowed up Noxus, but still couldn't find the treasure.

and so.

They chose the second method, which was to send people in.

so.

Of the approximately three hundred maids in the palace, at least two hundred were sent by other people.

after all!

For others, 30 billion Berries may not be a huge amount, but it's certainly not a small amount either! Of course, they want to keep such a lucrative prize for themselves; why would they leave it to someone else?

It's like making a joke of itself.

"Your Highness!" The head maid walked over step by step. Compared to the other maids who were seventeen or eighteen years old, she looked much older, already a woman in her forties. She said respectfully, "Dinner is ready."

"Alice, have you brought back what I asked you to bring back?" Locke nodded, but spoke slowly as he passed Alice.

Alice immediately nodded respectfully.

Alice is Sebastian's wife.

Sebastian is the chief steward of the royal palace.

Alice is the head maid of the royal palace.

They are the only two people Locke can truly trust now. As for the others inside the palace?

Hehehe~~~

There's no need for trust!

At the very least!

Locke simply won't trust them, nor will he harm them.

"Ok!"

Having received confirmation, Locke nodded imperceptibly. Then, he went about his daily routine of enjoying delicious food, washing up with the help of a maid, and returning to his room. In this respect, he seemed to be a prince, enjoying everything a prince should enjoy.

Back in the room, lying on the soft, large bed, the spacious room instantly became dim as the lights were turned off.

Locke lay in bed and fell into a deep sleep, and as time passed, it was four o'clock in the morning.

suddenly!

Locke opened his eyes, looked around, and seeing that it was still dark outside, he stood up. In the pitch-black night, no one knew what he had done; he had simply vanished from the room.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Following the dim light, I walked step by step down the steps.

This is the secret chamber located in the palace, where the treasure is naturally stored.

only!

Opening this secret room is virtually impossible for outsiders, as it requires verification using the fingerprints of royalty.

to be frank!

As a time traveler, Locke was shocked and wide-eyed when he first saw how the secret room was opened.

Be nice!

what is this?

This palace must have been built at least seven or eight hundred years ago, maybe even a thousand years ago! Good heavens! Does it really have such advanced technology?

but!

Considering that Vegapunk said in the original work that they had technology that surpassed our current technology 800 years ago, Locke felt that it was only natural.

That's right!

Locke was a time traveler from the Eastern Empire. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary otaku. There weren't many dramatic plot twists; he simply died suddenly from overworking himself.

After his sudden death, Locke was transported to this world, the world of great pirates, and became the prince of Noxus, a small country in the North Blue.

As for the point in time he traveled through time?

Uh~~~

That’s all I can say!

The only problem is that the time I traveled through time was rather awkward.

Let me put it another way!

I think I'm the same age as Kaido. I'm 15 years old now, and Kaido should also be 15 years old.

Considering that there were still 42 years before the story began, Locke didn't have the mind to think about that much.

reason?!

Hehehe~~~
