Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Chapter 54: Locke: Accepting defeat is the only way to become stronger.

The Rocks Pirates destroy the G3 branch!

Golden Lion: Shiki!

Whitebeard: Edward Newgate!

as well as……

With the combined efforts of numerous officers, the Navy's G3 branch was destroyed right before Admiral Heiyun's eyes.

This news!

It spread throughout the entire ocean in a very short time, truly reaching a point where even those who wanted to control it were unable to.

These are all at a point where they are completely out of control.

The speed at which it spread was simply too fast.

It's almost reached a point that's simply unimaginable.

and!

It was precisely because of this terrifying speed that, in a short period of time, the entire ocean felt only endless fear towards the Rocks Pirates, the terrifying overlords of the sea.

That's absolutely terrifying!

The Rocks Pirates were once able to attack individual member states.

The Rocks Pirates are now directly attacking a Marine branch.

So……

What is the Rocks Pirates' next target?

Naval Headquarters?

World government?

Or……

all in all!

As long as it wasn't them, that was fine! In an instant, whether it was a country, a power, or anything else, everyone quieted down and obediently waited for the outcome. It was no exaggeration to say that they were all trembling with fear; they truly felt endless terror.

no way!

It's absolutely terrifying. The strength that the Rocks Pirates have displayed is simply telling the entire sea just how terrifying I am and how astonishing my power is.

Therefore!

Faced with all this, anyone who isn't an idiot would clearly understand what the ocean would become.

Invincible!

terror!

monster!

This is what the sea calls the Rocks Pirates, but! It cannot be denied that these names are extremely appropriate; they are the most suitable way to refer to these pirates.

but!

These are all external circumstances, but what happens inside the Rocks Pirates is the internal situation.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Locke walked along the road and saw Kaido and Snake sitting by the ship, quietly gazing into the distance. He walked over and casually asked, "What do you two want? Did you call me here for something?"

"Well!"

"I'd like to have a drink with you!"

As Kaido spoke, he tossed the wine directly to Locke.

Locke didn't hesitate at all. He took the wine Kaido threw to him and drank it down in big gulps. After wiping his mouth slightly, he calmly asked, "What's wrong? What do you two mean by this?"

"Isn't it shameful?" the snake asked ominously.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Leone walked over step by step, watching the three people stand quietly to one side, just like a guard.

"Shameful?" Locke said casually, "What's shameful about it! Defeat is not shameful at all. Accept defeat, become stronger, become even more terrifying, and then defeat your opponent! Isn't that the most appropriate thing to do?"

"..."

Hearing Locke's casual words, Kaido and Snake both fell silent.

how to say!

When Kaido and Locke challenged Newgate together, they lost, but it was just an attempt, and winning or losing didn't really matter.

but!

At this moment...

Kaido, however, truly felt the taste of defeat. That feeling gave Kaido a completely different experience, and this defeat was something he simply couldn't accept.

"what!"

Locke casually remarked, "Oh, so that's what happened! You two are really trash!"

this moment.

Locke could tell that these two were having trouble accepting their defeat. Well, that was understandable. As child prodigies, they had always been at the level of monsters, and now, suddenly, they had failed?

This……

It's just a little bit unacceptable! But whether you can accept it or not...

Failure is failure!

They could only ask Locke a few questions, trying to get a sense of his thoughts.

"To be honest!" Locke said casually, taking a sip of his drink, "You two, you're practically my enemies, right? Why should I give you any advice? What do you have to offer me?"

Although it was said that they drank their wine.

But the problem is, this amount of alcohol isn't worth the price!

Are you guys kidding me?!

"..."

Kaido and the snake both fell silent; it was indeed true! Looking at Locke, who was completely unaffected, they wanted to say that they were nothing, but the problem was, they knew they really weren't in any trouble.

It’s just!

They still couldn't bring themselves to say it; they could only watch Locke silently.

Kaido paused for a moment, then said, "The rewards for this mission are all yours."

"can."

The snake nodded in agreement.

"Um?!"

Locke raised an eyebrow and said with amusement, "Not bad! If you two choose Devil Fruits, they're both mine! I'm just barely agreeing with you; you're just too arrogant."

"Anyone who uses their brain knows that your arrogance is completely meaningless."

"As far as this ocean is concerned!"

"No one is truly invincible; everyone will eventually fail!"

"We're still young, isn't it normal to lose to a veteran?"

"Do you two think you're invincible?"

"Hehehe~~~"

Locke's final, sarcastic smile made both of them instinctively clench their fists. How to put it? Locke's words were incredibly simple, yet they both felt a great sense of relief.

Just like...

Locke's simple words really put the two of them at ease.

Locke stood up and continued, "Failure! It's not a big deal. After all, everyone loses sometimes. As long as you're alive, just keep trying! Failure after failure is nothing to worry about. As long as you win once, that's enough! Remember, one fatal blow!"

"Whoo~~~"

Kaido and Snake both breathed a sigh of relief, after being brainwashed by Locke's very strange inspirational words.

He gradually calmed down.
