Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

but!

What's most terrifying about Locke is his terrifying physique and the various skills he's learned since childhood. He's not good with weapons, but he can unleash his physical abilities to an extremely terrifying degree.

to be honest!

If you asked Locke to fight against ten thousand, or even more, it wouldn't be impossible for him, but! Locke's current strength is not enough to do that. He can easily unleash a terrifying shockwave with a punch and a massive slash with a kick.

For Esdeath, having mastered the essence of the demon, such actions were extremely easy.

But the same!

If they were evenly matched, it would be a completely different story! Locke's strength would be far more terrifying; his pure physical attributes would be the most frightening.

Locke wasn't interested in those fancy skills.

Pure power.

That is the most powerful!

Chapter 22: From South to North, From North to South

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Drops of blood dripped from Locke's palm.

Locke casually flicked his wrist and looked around. There were already many pirates lying dead at his feet.

"Humph!"

Locke grinned, his expression twisted like a monstrous demon, and cruelly said, "Hey! Hey! Is this all you guys are going to do?"

"Hachinos!"

"Is this all there is to you pirates?"

"Kid!"

"Kill him!"

"kill!"

With a furious roar, instantly! All the pirates were enraged.

joke.

This is something they absolutely cannot accept! To be looked down upon by a mere 15-year-old brat? Are you kidding me?! This is something they absolutely cannot accept.

"Hahaha~~~"

"This is absolutely fantastic!"

Locke wiped his face, leaving deep bloodstains, and instantly transformed into a blur as he rushed towards his opponent.

One by one, pirates were killed by Locke in various ways.

Even said!

Locke raised one hand to form a palm, and with a single strike, he unleashed an astonishing slash.

"It's so enjoyable!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Locke, who was as cold as ice, suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh. Dark purple energy burst forth from his body, surging wildly and causing his black hair to flutter in the wind.

It was like a terrifying demon god.

"Hahaha~~~"

"Enjoyed!"

"come!"

"continue!"

Locke roared madly and charged straight into the huge crowd. As time went on, the number of pirates joining in increased.

Do they even know what happened?

do not know!

For them, they had no idea what was going on.

but!

This is what makes the Hatchinos so mad. For them, they don't care what's going on. All that's left is a battle. If there's an opponent, then they'll get involved.

and!

Inside a shop, Esdeath's phantom stood, murmuring softly, "Little Prince... Master... Your Highness! What a terrifying side! It's like a roaring demon!"

Some times.

It's just a change in name, but it represents a great deal.

Esdeath was absolutely loyal to Locke, but for such a proud monster who believed in the survival of the fittest, she was even more eager for her master to be a monster as well.

At this moment!

From the moment Locke arrived in the New World, from Golden Island to Hatchinos, it was as if he had liberated himself, completely transforming into a cruel, terrifying, bloodthirsty monster!

Therefore!

This is the most terrifying aspect!

"Um?!"

Locke suddenly looked up and murmured with interest, "This feeling! A beast, no! A creature as terrifying as a dragon, this is really interesting! What could it be?"

hmm~~~

Locke's talent is like a combination of Linlin and Kaido, possessing terrifying steel balloons, beast-like keen senses, and monstrous regenerative abilities.

in particular!

With the summoning of the Demon God Manifestation: Essence of the Demon!

Locke received a comprehensive upgrade. Not only that, the Demon Essence represents the power of ice, and for Locke, this means that he has a very high resistance to attacks such as ice, freezing, and snow.

To put it another way...

Ice and snow resistance!

Ah!

That's roughly it; the description is very accurate.

And now!

Locke sensed the presence of a terrifying beast to the north of Hachinos, a truly exciting time for him!

"interesting!"

"Go and see!"

Locke stared into the distance, a grin spreading across his face, and walked step by step toward the spot not far away. Along the way, no matter how much the pirates tried to stop him, he would deal with them in the shortest possible time.

just now!

Locke had only one goal: the goal in the distance.

……

The north of Hatchinos!

"Roar!"

With a terrifying roar, a figure carrying a spiked club and sporting a pair of horns was also wreaking havoc.

He was just like Allen, facing the siege of pirates, with a dilapidated little boat behind him.

Apparently!

He had just landed on the island and had just arrived in Hatchinos.

same!

He also received the same 'welcoming ceremony' from Locke.

That's proven to be true!

In the eyes of these teenage monsters, the pirates' attack was utterly insignificant.

One spiked club for every kid; one pirate after another was smashed to pieces.

His spiked club crackled and sparkled with dark lightning.

This represents the astonishing strength of his Armament Haki.

"Um?!"

A single spiked club took the life of a child, while the man squinted keenly, gazing into the distance with amusement, a ferocious grin spreading across his face as he sneered, "Interesting! Interesting! Seems to be a truly terrifying opponent!"
