Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Where is Esdeath?

Esdeath is well-suited to be a great general, possessing both wisdom and courage! She excels in military strategy and training soldiers! To put it bluntly, she is suitable as a commander and a general, but not as a manager.

so……

Locke rubbed his temples, thinking to himself, "There are still far too few people suitable for management! Sigh! I'll deal with it slowly in the future."

Locke knew that he wanted to realize the ambition in his heart.

So!

All of this is meaningless. For him, what he needs is not only invincible strength, but also the talent to manage everything. They are both indispensable! That's why Locke needs to work hard step by step.

Everything else?

take it easy!

More agonizing is pointless.

For that matter!

Locke was very clear about this.

that's it!

With all of this concluded, the meeting came to an end.

First meeting: End!

hmm~~~

Couch meeting?

The girls all had a strange idea: the meeting was being held around a round table, hence the name "round table meeting."

result!

Well, on my side, we're having a meeting centered around the sofa, so shouldn't we call it "sofa memories"?

Locke was unaware of these circumstances. He simply felt that it was about time for him to rest and go to sleep. He wasn't interested in anything else; they were all minor issues. His daily routine was very regular.

Chapter 72: The eerie calm before the storm!

Day two.

After Locke woke up, he arranged a ship for Akame, and Akame left that afternoon.

Of course.

No one paid any attention to Akame's departure. After all, the Rocks Pirates were currently in a very violent state, like a terrifying powder keg. Under such circumstances, of course no one had the mind to pay attention to other people.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Leone, walking behind Rocks, couldn't help but sigh, "Your Highness, this murderous aura is truly terrifying. Anyone who didn't know better would think something terrible had happened. The entire Rocks Pirates are like a powder keg right now, giving off a feeling that they could explode at any moment."

Locke calmly shook his head and said, "That's not accurate! To be precise, the Rocks Pirates aren't just like a powder keg right now, they're an extremely terrifying powder keg on the verge of exploding. This powder keg has already been ignited, but the only uncertainty is when it will explode."

Locke walked to the side of the ship, sat down, and felt the sea breeze, which carried a terrifying crimson killing intent, representing the current terror of the Rocks Pirates.

"Hmm~"

Leone walked to Locke's side, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and hot pants, and said thoughtfully, "Your Highness, Captain Locke doesn't seem to have any reaction to this situation!"

“No response.” Locke nodded and said, “Or rather, this is the result Captain Locke wanted. What Captain Locke wanted was this kind of chaos and terror, to completely sweep everything away and cover everything up completely. This is what is right in front of us.”

"That's it..."

Leone hesitated slightly, somewhat unable to believe it.

after all!

According to Leone's idea, you have assembled the most powerful pirate crew in the world, one that is unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated. If it is this powerful, then shouldn't you be taking it very seriously and managing it well? That's what you should be considering! However, the problem lies here: what Captain Rocks wants is not peace and continued development, but chaos and terror.

This is very strange!

Normally!

At the very least, a person shouldn't do this! Such behavior feels extremely strange, even bizarre.

Locke responded calmly, "Is that strange? That's because you don't understand Captain Locke's thoughts at all. He essentially wants a higher position, and it's simply unrealistic for things to develop normally if he wants to seize a higher position."

"Only by bringing about an absolute boost to the Rocks Pirates in a terrifying way."

"Only in this way can the Rocks Pirates truly grow and reach a level where they can fulfill Captain Rocks' ambitions."

"Now!"

"Now that everything is laid out before us, can we succeed?"

"That's Captain Rocks' idea. He doesn't need a group of law-abiding guys, but a group of madmen, a group of monsters, because! Only such guys can truly bring everything to the forefront and develop everything to its fullest potential. That's the most important core."

"..."

Listening to his lord's explanation, Leone seemed to have never expected things to turn out this way.

"This……"

Leone pondered for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, you know about this! So..."

“That’s right!” Locke nodded in agreement. “Just as you guessed, not only me, but many people know what Captain Rocks is thinking. But it’s completely meaningless. In the Rocks Pirates, there are only two types: the living and the dead.”

"Locks D. Gibeck!"

"Captain Rocks!"

"He's too strong, so strong that it's unimaginable. It's hard to imagine that such a terrifying guy could appear on this ocean. And that's why this terrifying guy is still growing and improving himself step by step."

"It can be said!"

"This is the crux of the matter. Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Big Mom, Wang Zhi, John, Silver Axe, and all 72 executives including myself—everyone knows this situation, but! There's simply no one who can resist!"

"..."

"Because! We are no match for Captain Rocks. Faced with Captain Rocks' invincible strength, we are doomed to die."

Locke's voice was calm, yet it depicted an extremely cruel reality: a world where the strong reign supreme. Locke D. Giebeck, the strongest man in the world, possessed power that was simply too terrifying, reaching a level that was beyond imagination. It was precisely because of this that people felt endless fear and dread.

Therefore!

Locke was very clear about all of this, and he knew exactly what the outcome would be. After all, as a transmigrator, he knew the result of the God Valley War; otherwise, he would never have joined the Rocks Pirates.

joke!

He wasn't an idiot, nor was he a fool. Given the state of the Rocks Pirates, what would happen if he really joined in like a fool? Actually, it was self-evident. Anyone who wasn't an idiot would know exactly what would happen.

Locke, as a time traveler, knew exactly what would happen to this behemoth, and therefore, he was qualified to participate. As for the others, they could only look for opportunities.

God Valley War!!!

This was their only chance, their only chance, and there would never be a second one. They seized it and outmaneuvered Captain Rocks in the God Valley War, causing him to die there.

At this point { !

The Rocks Pirates have been completely disbanded. It's safe to say that this is something everyone can accept, and it's the most promising way to end things. But if it fails, then everything will be a complete failure, without a doubt.

Locke was very clear about this, and they seized that one and only opportunity.

"I see!"

"This is truly despairing!"

Leone sighed. The Rocks Pirates were now known as a terrifying pirate crew that was unprecedented and would never be repeated. However, this pirate crew contained such terrifying despair that all one could truly feel was endless despair.

It may seem like a bustling scene, but in reality, everything is suppressed within it, which is what makes people feel most helpless and painful!

"Whoo~~~"

Leone exhaled a deep breath and shook her head. She didn't think about it anymore. After all, she didn't have that much inner strength or ability. She just needed to obey His Highness's orders.

"Worororo~~~"

Just then, a maniacal laugh rang out, and Kaido walked over step by step. He leaped up and landed on Locke's ship.

Kaido grinned, his expression ferocious, and said, "Rock! You really dare to say anything! How could you say something like that?"

"Hehehe~~~"

Looking at Kaido, Locke said calmly, "What's there to be afraid of saying? It's just something that everyone acknowledges! However, facts are facts, but whether or not we can actually do it is another matter."

"cut!"

Kaido curled his lip and casually said, "You're really good at talking, as if you don't care about any of this."

"I really don't care!" Locke shrugged and said casually, "I have money and Devil Fruits here, why should I care about any of this? Your thinking is really strange!"

"..."

Kaido stared intently at Locke, seemingly trying to discern Locke's thoughts. In the end, however, he withdrew his gaze, for he couldn't read anything from Locke's face. He simply shook his head and calmly said, "Forget it! I'm too lazy to care about your thoughts. Your ideas are very strange, and I'm not interested in them. However! I have a feeling that you seem to know something."
