Locke stood on the battlefield, panting heavily, his body covered in wounds, but his eyes gleamed with the light of victory. Mihawk lay on the ground, blood streaming down his face, but a smile lingered on his lips.

“Locke, you have defeated me. Your swordsmanship truly surpasses my expectations. You deserve this victory,” Mihawk said with his last breath.

“Mihawk, thank you for your guidance and the fight. You will always be my idol in swordsmanship,” Locke said sincerely.

Their eyes met, filled with mutual understanding and respect. Although they fought with swordsmanship, in that moment, they became each other's best friends.

Locke and the boy left the mysterious island to continue their adventure.

Locke and the boy continued their adventure, arriving at a mysterious island. This island was filled with ancient ruins, each exuding an aura of mystery. Locke's curiosity was ignited; he wanted to explore the secrets of these ancient civilizations.

As Locke and the child searched for clues on the island, a woman dressed in archaeological attire suddenly approached. She had beautiful black hair and deep eyes, and possessed a noble and mysterious air.

"Hello, I'm Robin, a pirate archaeologist. It seems you're quite interested in the ancient ruins on this island," Robin said with a smile.

Locke and the child were surprised by Robin's appearance, but they were filled with interest in exploring ancient civilizations. Locke looked up, his eyes firm, and said, "Yes, we are very interested in these ancient ruins. We want to understand their secrets and history."

Robin nodded, showing her approval of Locke.

“Very good, your enthusiasm pleases me. I am willing to explore the ancient civilization of this island with you,” Robin said.

So Locke, the boy, and Robin embarked on an adventure to explore ancient ruins. They traversed the ruins, studied ancient writings and patterns, and sought the secrets of ancient civilizations.

In an ancient temple, Locke discovered a mysterious stone tablet... The tablet was covered with ancient writing, seemingly hiding clues to some kind of treasure.

“The inscription on this stone tablet looks very complex, but I have a feeling it points to some important location,” Locke said excitedly.

Robin walked over to Locke and stared at the inscription on the stone tablet.

“These characters must be a language from an ancient civilization, very old and complex. I can help you translate them; perhaps we can find some clues,” Robin offered his assistance.

Locke nodded, convinced that Robin's abilities could solve the mystery.

Robin began to carefully study the inscriptions on the stone tablet, gently touching each mark with her fingers as if she were feeling the pulse of an ancient civilization.

“These characters are an ancient language from an ancient civilization, and it will take some time to decipher them. But I believe they contain important information,” Robin said.

Locke and the child waited for Robin's interpretation, knowing that the process would require patience and time.

Several hours later, Robin finally finished translating. She looked up, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

“Locke, boy, the inscription on this stone tells us a story about an ancient civilization. It points to an ancient treasure trove, said to contain endless treasures and wisdom,” Robin said excitedly.

Locke and the child were filled with anticipation and curiosity upon hearing the news. They knew it was an extremely challenging task, but they were determined to solve the mystery.

Locke felt a surge of fighting spirit and drew his weapon—the ever-changing Fang of Cross.

"Robin, thank you for your help. Now, let's head to the treasure vault together and unlock the secrets of this ancient civilization!" Locke said with great enthusiasm.

Robin smiled and nodded; she knew Locke's determination and courage.

“Locke, your swordsmanship is indeed powerful, and I will use my knowledge and skills to assist you. Together we will face the challenges and explore the mysteries of the ancient treasure!” Robin replied confidently.

Locke, the boy, and Robin arrived at the entrance to the treasure vault, a vast underground cavern. The cavern was filled with traps and mechanisms; to reach the treasure, they would face numerous trials.

Locke brandished Cross, maneuvering around the traps. He skillfully dodged attacks from darts and rolling stones, using sword techniques to break the mechanisms and protect the child and Robin.

Robin, using her archaeological knowledge, discovered hidden passages and clues. She deciphered ancient symbols and patterns, helping Locke avoid danger and advance deeper into the area.

Their cooperation was seamless and powerful, each step fraught with danger and challenge. Locke cleaved rocks with the brilliance of Cross's sword, Robin guided them with her knowledge, and the boy helped them avoid traps with his wit and agility.

Finally, they arrived at the core area of ​​the treasure vault. It radiated a strong light, as if it contained immense power.

Locke gripped Cross tightly, his gaze resolute.

"This is where the treasure is! Robin, we're getting closer and closer to our goal!" Locke said passionately.

Robin smiled and nodded; she knew that under Locke's guidance, they would unlock the secrets of the ancient civilization.

They continued onward, facing their final test. In the center of the treasure vault, on a massive stone platform, lay the Book of Wisdom from an ancient civilization. This book was considered the essence of that civilization, containing boundless wisdom and knowledge.

Locke stepped onto the stone platform and reached out to touch the Book of Wisdom. He felt the energy flowing within it, a precious gift left to posterity by ancient civilization.

“Locke, you are a hero. You are qualified to break the seal on the Book of Wisdom and explore the mysteries of ancient civilizations,” Robin encouraged.

Locke gripped the Book of Wisdom tightly, feeling its power. He took a deep breath and focused his mind.

"The wisdom of ancient civilizations will belong to us, and I will fight for it!" Locke said firmly.

As Locke's hand touched the Book of Wisdom, a dazzling light burst forth, filling the entire vault.

Locke and the child continued their adventure, embarking on a new journey. They arrived at a mysterious island, where they heard that Rayleigh, the legendary strongman and elder of Luffy, the Pirate King, lived.

Locke, filled with curiosity, set foot on the island, hoping to encounter Rayleigh and engage in a duel devoid of any fighting techniques. They were prepared to meet this challenge with passion and courage.

Chapter 527: My Rainbow Will Surpass Your Fighting Skills!

Finally, they found Rayleigh on the island, a tall, elderly man. Rayleigh's eyes shone with boundless fighting spirit. He looked at Locke and the child and smiled slightly.

"Are you here to challenge me?" Rayleigh asked calmly.

“That’s right! We’re here to challenge you, Rayleigh!” Locke answered without flinching.

Rayleigh nodded, expressing his appreciation for Locke and the child's courage.

“Very well, I admire your courage. Then let’s have a real showdown!” Rayleigh’s voice was full of passion.

Locke stared at Rayleigh, taking a deep breath. He was determined not to back down and to prove his strength with his own power.

"Rayleigh, I will unleash my X-ray vision—the power of the rainbow!" Locke declared.

Locke closed his eyes, focusing intently on the surging energy within his body. He activated the power of the rainbow, and his eyes shone with a myriad of colors.

The duel began, with Locke and Rayleigh's figures clashing across the island. They didn't use any specific techniques, but rather relied on intuition and reflexes to fight.
