Chapter 107: Bounty increased again: 600 million Beli

It must be admitted.

The strength of the Rocks Pirates improved, certainly because Captain Rocks gave out these high-level Haki cultivation methods and a large number of Devil Fruits without caring at all.

As for where Captain Rocks got them?

Uh~~~

This was hard to say.

After all!

According to Rocks' terrifying strength, plus his background was far too mysterious, and even impossible to investigate, so many things were unknown.

Precisely because of this.

Locke estimated that even so, it was impossible to just give it to everyone. It must at least start at the officer level, and! There needed to be a gap in many personnel; this was an absolutely unquestionable matter.

Weakness, strength, and aptitude all had relationships.

"Mm~~~"

Locke narrowed his eyes slightly and thought in his heart: "No wonder! After the Rocks Pirates, the status of pirates was improved to the greatest extent. Just by spreading these high-level Haki cultivation methods, the situation was different."

Why were pirates looked down upon by major factions and called mud-legged?!

The reason was very simple!

Pirates were too weak.

Don't think pirates are very strong.

Every generation of pirates has about two or three Admiral-level powerhouses; they purely relied on talent, or ate astonishing Devil Fruits, and crawled up from the bottom.

Precisely because of this!

Their bodies had all kinds of injuries, and they basically kicked the bucket at sixty or seventy years old.

And this was the most despairing thing.

No way!

Look at the comparison between the Navy and pirates, you can see it from here. You know! Normally, if strength reaches the Admiral level, basically living for two hundred years is about right, and those with high lifespans can live for three hundred years.

And what about pirates?

They generally die suddenly at fifty or sixty!

This is a problem in every aspect.

And!

The spread of high-level three-color Haki cultivation methods would bring a very terrifying improvement to the overall strength of pirates. Precisely because of this! The situation of three legendary pirate groups and four Emperors standing tall appeared on the future sea.

Basically, they all appeared like this.

"Forget it!"

"Forget it!"

Locke shook his head, thought a lot, and said calmly: "These depend on the situation. Regardless of how it is, thinking about it now is a meaningless thing. Wait until the future to consider it, take it one step at a time. But! Learning so much is always a good thing."

This really wasn't a joke!

As a small country, Noxas, Locke learned a part of high-level three-color Haki at a young age, while pirates could absolutely not come into contact with it. From here, one could see just how low the status of pirates was.

Locke's expression was very calm as he continued to study these things; he didn't have much interest in anything else.

Continuous cultivation!

This is very important!

The next day!

After Locke finished studying, he handed the book to Esdeath, and after eating breakfast, he was just about to train.

The result...

"Big Brother Locke!"

"Big Brother Locke!"

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the small pirate who was running toward him in a panic, Locke was stunned. These pirates were all Kaido's or Snake's underlings, but! Because his identity was far too special and his strength was too strong, they all called him Big Brother.

"Big Brother Locke!" The small pirate ran over in a hurry, holding a bounty poster, and said excitedly: "Big Brother Locke! Your bounty has increased again!" ===== CHAPTER 109 =====
