Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

“Your Highness,” Esdeath suddenly continued, “the money you’ve sent back is still not enough! I’ve found a way to buy water horses. If you bring back enough money, you can fully arm a cavalry regiment of ten thousand men.”

"Once this cavalry regiment of ten thousand men is fully armed, I will..."

Hearing Esdeath's idea, Locke's lips twitched slightly. Good heavens! A cavalry regiment of ten thousand men riding on water horses? Damn it! What an appalling price that is!

The armor and weapons for 10,000 people, plus the armor for the water horses, cost a total of 3 billion Berries.

What about future maintenance costs? I'm not kidding! It will cost at least 3 million Berries per year, plus training costs.

These subsequent costs are not included!

单纯只是水马的购买，5000万一只、5个亿10只、50亿100只、500亿1000只、5000亿10000只……

Locke wasn't joking!

"Or you could just kill me?" Good heavens! That's a whopping 5000 billion Berries! I'm not kidding, if I were to take over the entire North Blue…

"..."

Locke fell silent after pondering this point. "Don't even mention it! If the entire North Sea were truly swept away, then the number of Beli would definitely be enough."

The world!

Grand Line!

New world!

Actually! 223

Some bored people once did a statistical analysis and found that 300 years ago, the economy of each of the four seas already exceeded 60000 trillion peggs, and that figure must have continued to increase over the past 300 years.

As for the Grand Line and the New World? That's hard to say. Why? Because the person who did the statistics out of boredom back then was killed right after finishing the survey of the four seas. All I can say is, are some things that can be exposed?

If the whole world knew I was rich, would they just want money from me?

Is this possible?

Apparently!

That idle and bored big shot didn't quite understand this principle, and in the end, he was killed by someone.

"Hmm~"

Locke pondered for a moment and said, "Esdeath, let's wait. Cavalry and navy, according to your idea, there's no problem! However, for the time being, it seems there's no hope. We don't have that much money, so it's pointless."

Locke shook his head. This situation was no joke; it was truly meaningless!

no way!

To think he could acquire such a massive amount of money on his own was simply laughable. And what if, if Esdeath's training methods were truly followed, this 10000-strong cavalry regiment were actually trained? Good heavens! Awesome aura + powerful weapons + water horses? Wow! What level of skill would this top-tier cavalry possess?

I'm not kidding!

If you really train them, even a great general would be meaningless; they'd just charge and kill you.

“Indeed.” Esdeath shook her head and said, “However! Your Highness, if you would allow it, I could plunder the entire North Sea. At that time, the wealth would be in our hands.”

Locke shook his head again and said, "I have no objection to your idea, but! Our strength is still too weak. Given our current strength, and the fact that Noxus is located in the North Sea, all of this is not very meaningful."

"Ok!"

Esdeath's ideas are incredibly crazy, and her actions are equally insane. However, this doesn't mean that Esdeath is a reckless madwoman. Because of this, Esdeath also knows how to handle the situation.

“Besides that!” Locke inquired, “What’s the interior of Noxus like?”

"Hmm~"

Esdeath nodded and said, "Noxus may not have any specific industries, but under Sebastian and Alice's management, there won't be any problems. After all, the population isn't that large, so many things can be handled casually."

Esdeath remained remarkably calm about it; she considered it all very easy to handle.

Locke nodded in agreement. That would be the best-case scenario. As long as no problems arise, that would definitely be the best outcome. After all, if problems did occur, that would be the most difficult thing to handle and the one that needed the most consideration.

"Noxus is in a better situation, so everything is easier to handle." Locke nodded in agreement, admitting it was undeniable. For him, Noxus was indeed his core territory.

of course!

It's not that Locke couldn't survive without Noxus, but rather for another reason! For Locke, Noxus represents everything he once had. As a transmigrator, he is not a person without feelings, and Noxus represents those feelings.

"Whoo~~~"

Letting out a soft breath, Locke leaned back on the sofa, pondering, "Looking at it now, chaos! It's about to erupt! And this chaos will definitely sweep across the entire world. If we can seize this opportunity..."

Locke squinted, but his slightly narrowed eyes were unusually sharp.

This situation is completely different! You see, if the chain reaction caused by the Rocks Pirates causes the entire ocean to explode instantly, then what happens next will be very interesting.

after all!

Anyone who isn't an idiot can see that the situation has clearly changed.

"Hmm~"

After a moment's thought, Locke said, "Esdeath, we only have one chance. We must seize it. That one chance could bring a huge boost to the entire Noxus."

"Hehehe~~~"

Esdeath smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is not difficult. Moreover, the situation in the four seas is now gradually becoming chaotic, or rather, it has reached a point of expansion."

Just as Locke and Esdeath discussed.

The world is now at peace!

In fact, it has already begun to gradually expand.

Or!

It has reached a level that is extremely difficult to understand, or rather, indescribable. It is expanding rapidly at an incredibly terrifying pace, and the fundamental reason for this is that the Rocks Pirates are simply too strong, to the point that they are simply too powerful for anyone to bear.

If this continues, to what extent will the Rocks Pirates continue to grow?

This is a question that needs to be carefully considered.

after all!

This is often the case. If a pirate crew continues to improve at an alarming rate, it can cause huge problems, just like the Rocks Pirates right now, which is a huge powder keg.

This powder keg is bound to explode sooner or later, and it needs to be released. That's why this is not something that can be quelled by a so-called God Valley War, but a war that will completely engulf the entire ocean and the entire world.

New world.

The Grand Line.

The world.

Only after a period of immense chaos will the new world gradually stabilize, truly stabilize.

at this point!

This is absolutely not a joke, that's why!

Next up!

This is an enormous opportunity. If you seize it, the entire world will be reshuffled instantly, and everything you can gain is beyond question. For example, in the Great Pirate Era, a chaotic era that swept across the entire sea.

The Donquixote Family easily replaced the Germa Kingdom as the overlord of the North Sea. The reason is very simple: their strength increased too quickly. In a chaotic era, there are so many things to gain. Under such circumstances, the outcome is naturally beyond doubt.

Locke was very clear about these things.

confusion!

It was an era of rising heroes, and this chaos was about to begin.

"Hmm~"

Esdeath nodded very seriously, while Locke continued, "Akame, I will arrange a ship for you. You should also prepare to set sail back to Noxus in the next few days."

"Ah."

Akame nodded obediently. She didn't ask any questions; as long as the mission was completed, that was enough.

Locke continued, "Esdeath, you only have a year at most. Seize this time. If you want to buy water horses and build a navy, you'll have to raise the money yourself."

"Hehehe~~~"

Esdeath smiled confidently and said, "Your Highness, as long as you are given the opportunity, then everything will be without any problems. It would be too embarrassing to miss the opportunity."

"Ok!"

Locke nodded again, while Leone pondered and said, "Your Highness, shouldn't I also return to Noxus?"

even though!

Leone dislikes Esdeath and doesn't like following her, but Leone knows that the situation in the North Blue is more important, while the New World is unlikely to have any problems. It is precisely for this reason that Leone made this decision.

Allen waved his hand and said, "No need to rush. Esdeath, Akame, and Joel are enough. Leone, you stay with me in the New World. From now on, the entire New World will be just as chaotic."

"Ok."

Leone nodded seriously. She wasn't joking around anymore; she clearly knew what she should do next.

to be frank!

Allen still feels they don't have enough people! Leone, Akame, and Joel—these three women are qualified assassins, but! What about their various abilities?

never mind!

That's completely unacceptable. The three women are suitable as assassins, but they lack the ability to manage others.
