Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Zoro, Barrett, and Shiryu from the original work—these characters all possess the power of demonic energy.

Of course!

Having this special power does not necessarily mean you are a strong person. To put it bluntly, on this ocean, although Conqueror's Haki is hailed as a power that only one in a million can possess, what is the reality?

Hehehe~~~

No joke, people with Conqueror's Haki are as numerous as carp crossing a river. In this selection ceremony, Locke has killed countless people.

So say it!

It is true that a person who possesses Conqueror's Haki is not necessarily strong, but a person who is surrounded by Conqueror's Haki is definitely strong.

"Rock!" Kaido said with amusement, "So you're still alive after all!"

Locke walked over to the campfire without any ceremony and sat down, snarling, "Even if you die, I won't. There's nothing more to say!"

"it's over!"

"it's over?"

"Um?!"

Kaido and Snake were both taken aback. They clearly remembered that when they arrived, there were at least 50 people left!

Locke calmly said, "I blocked the entrance and killed the rest of them. You two were a little too fast, otherwise... Never mind, it wouldn't have been easy for me to kill you two by myself."

Actually!

In this test, Locke, Kaido, and Snake's strength far surpassed that of the others by a level. Because of this, Locke could slaughter everyone else as easily as killing chicks, but killing these two would be as easy as killing chicks.

That's not such an easy thing!

"..."

The atmosphere among the three became silent, each of them quietly gazing at the campfire before them, waiting for the others to arrive.

soon.

About ten minutes have passed.

"Gulala~~~"

With a hearty laugh, Newgate walked over step by step, laughing and saying, "Locke, Kaido, Snake, as expected, only the three of you brats have become the final victors. Let's go! Of the three of you, apart from Locke being first, the other two of you are second."

"..."

"Um?!"

Kaido and Snake both glanced at Locke, but had no objection to this statement.

after all!

Based on both the strength they sensed from Locke and his actions, both of them were certain that Locke was undoubtedly the number one.

"Let's go."

"Ok!"

Newgate spoke, and the three of them followed in his footsteps.

quickly!

The four people returned to the ship.

Wow~~~

Wow~~~

The ship gradually sailed into the distance, not very fast, but very smoothly.

The three of them returned to their respective rooms, which were all prepared for them, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Worth to talk about!

This is practically the only rule in the Rocks Pirates. For the Rocks Pirates, a world of survival of the fittest and endless madness, this is the only rule they have! This rule is very special, and the reason is very simple.

Even for the Rocks Pirates, there is a need for an absolutely safe place within the crew.

That's the room!

In the Rocks Pirates, you can assassinate, ambush, or even poison your comrades, but! Once they've returned to their room, you are absolutely not allowed to attack them.

No matter who it is!

Even a top executive like Newgate would be personally killed by Rocks if he violated this rule; no one is allowed to do so.

Therefore!

This is the rule that everyone follows.

I slept for three days and three nights.

When Rock woke up, he still hadn't returned to the Rocks Pirates' headquarters.

"Ah~~~"

Lazily yawning, Locke quickly regained his composure. After making himself a cup of coffee, he rubbed his temples slightly and asked, "Esdeath, how long have I been asleep?"

“Your Highness.” Esdeath’s illusory figure appeared and sat by the bed, saying, “You have been sleeping for three days and three nights. It’s really strange that you can sleep so soundly, especially in such a dangerous place.”

"This..."

Rock explained the rules of the Rocks Pirates to Esdeath.

"Ok!"

Esdeath nodded and said very seriously, "I see. By doing this, no matter how terrifying or high-pressure the environment is, there will always be a tiny crack. This is very important. Absolute high pressure can drive many people crazy."

Esdeath was a great general skilled in both literature and military arts, and therefore, she was very familiar with such methods.

burn one's boats!

The last stand!

This is because their spirit has been ignited. If it hadn't been ignited, wouldn't they have just been waiting to die?

so!

In many situations, it's necessary to leave a sliver of a bottom line. Only in this way can a place as insane as the Rocks Pirates maintain a semblance of balance and prevent problems from arising. This is extremely important.

Don't think that there won't be any problems; quite the opposite! What if unrest actually occurs because of this high pressure?

Even if it can be calmed down, such a drain is a pointless thing!

"That's all!" Locke said suddenly after finishing breakfast. "We've arrived."

Locke walked out of the room, and Esdeath's phantom also disappeared. Once outside, Locke saw the massive pirate fleet, with a pirate ship in the very center that looked like a jet-black pearl.

The flagship of the Rocks Pirates: The Black Pearl!!!

The Black Pearl!!!

The flagship of the Rocks Pirates.

same!

This is also the world's most top-tier pirate ship, hailed as the world's number one pirate ship.

It can be said!

This pirate ship cost a fortune in money and berries, and it's packed with advanced technology. The power contained within such a ship is, well, obvious to anyone who isn't an idiot—it's terrifying.

"So this is the Black Pearl?!" Kaido looked at the pirate ship in front of him with amusement, carrying his spiked club.

The snake licked its lips and said with amusement, "Legend has it! This is the most top-tier pirate ship, no! No! It should be said to be the strongest in the world!"

"Who knows!"

Locke, hands in his pockets, said casually, "They say it's the world's number one pirate ship, but who knows what the outcome will be..."

to be frank!

Locke didn't think that ship was the world's number one pirate ship. For true strongmen, as long as they take one step at a time, they can cross the sea. For this sea, strength is the most important thing.

besides?!

Everything else is meaningless.

"Yo!"

"Are the new kids back this year?"

"What do you think these kids will be like this year?"

I think the result will be the same!

"Hahaha~~~"

The Rocks Pirates, these madmen, saw Newgate and Rock return, and their faces lit up with amusement. What happened next was going to be very interesting.

quickly!
