Chapter 117

*Splash splash~~~*

*Splash splash~~~*

With the churning of the waves, a pirate ship had gradually left the Rocks Pirates' grand fleet and was speeding towards the distance. Its speed was very fast, and the owner of this ship was Locke. As for Kaido? Snake?

These two did not follow.

After all!

This was not their mission.

"Hmm?!"

Kaido smacked his lips and said: "Interesting! Locke, this guy, actually got a unique pirate ship. It's really quite curious. What kind of mission did Captain Rocks give him?"

That's right!

Originally, Locke, Kaido, and Snake shared one pirate ship! Not a joke. The Rocks Pirates, besides the main ship, the Black Pearl, had a total of 50 pirate ships. With so many massive personnel and executives, wanting to obtain a pirate ship that belonged solely to oneself was not an easy task.

Now!

Rocks actually handed a ship directly to Locke. This was quite interesting. What was it for? Or rather! What was it for? This was a very interesting thing!

Of course!

In the Rocks Pirates, there was a very big unspoken rule: if you obtained a huge treasure, then! This meant your mission would be very dangerous, especially something like a pirate ship that represented status and position. That was to prove what the next situation would be like.

"Although I don't know what the mission is, but!" Snake changed the subject and said interestingly: "If nothing goes wrong, it's the kind of certain-death mission. According to Locke's own strength, it's definitely a mission he's not a match for. But! Since Locke accepted it, then, he must have confidence."

"After all!"

"Locke's personality is just like that. Although he is a madman, he won't do things without any preparation."

"And..."

Snake narrowed his eyes and continued: "Locke hasn't left for the past two years. The only situation is! This newcomer, the little girl named Akame! Her ability is very special. Otherwise, Locke would absolutely not do such a thing."

Snake's analysis could only be said to be close to the truth. After all! Snake was a person who played with his brain. His personality valued this point more, and he would analyze a lot of intelligence and information.

Precisely because of this!

This was Snake's personality, and Kaido looked at Snake and laughed interestingly.

"Worororo~~~"

Kaido patted Snake's shoulder excitedly and laughed hideously: "You guy! Do you want to become my subordinate? Join my command and become my person?"

"I'm not interested in that!" Snake shook his head and didn't agree to Kaido's invitation. He also had his own pride.

And...

Some things are hard to say and hard to do; it's not an easy thing to handle.

Let's talk about future things in the future.

At the same time!

Locke's departure also made many people in the Rocks Pirates very curious.

And!!!

Everyone knew what Locke's mission was. It could be said! This was known to almost everyone in the Rocks Pirates. The reason was very simple. For the Rocks Pirates, besides the Black Pearl, how did every ship appear?

Actually, it was very simple! Every ship was an executive who appeared after completing a mission that was almost impossible to complete with their strength.

However!

With the strength of the Rocks Pirates, it became increasingly difficult for such things to happen. Over time, the number of 50 pirate ships was fixed. And now! Locke had become a new person to execute this mission.

If Locke returned alive, he would own the 51st ship.

If Locke didn't return alive? Then sorry! Death was his only result. Rocks wouldn't have any major changes.

After all!

On Locke's ship, besides recruiting some chefs, shipwrights, and navigators, no one else was recruited. These people were recruited by Locke. He wouldn't dare to talk about loyalty, but! They would absolutely be very obedient.

Locke didn't need their loyalty, the loyalty of pirates.

*Hehehe~~~*

To tell the truth!

Although!

In the original work, no matter how it reflects the family affection, friendship, and the feelings of being willing to die for one's captain, Locke really didn't believe in these. The Rocks Pirates he experienced personally was a place filled with betrayal. Since that was the case, then there was nothing to talk about.

Locke didn't trust pirates. The only ones he trusted were the Teigu users he summoned. Besides that? Everything else! He didn't have the slightest bit of trust.

*Splash splash~~~*

*Splash splash~~~*

The pirate ship sailed on the sea, and Locke continued his daily training. No matter what time it was, daily training would never stop.

And!

Without so many people, Lei Ounai continued to teach Akame two-color Haki. Akame's talent was indeed amazing. Although she couldn't compare to a monster like Esdeath, she was indeed much stronger than Lei Ounai.

If nothing goes wrong, she would soon be able to master low-level two-color Haki.

Night fell.

After finishing the day's training and having dinner.

The three of them lay side by side on lounge chairs, sitting by the side of the ship fishing. Lei Ounai stretched her perfect figure and said comfortably: "It's really comfortable! Sure enough! My own ship is comfortable. Other people's ships, no matter what, are not pleasant!"

"..."

Akame leaned there silently, without any words. She didn't know what she should say.

"Indeed!" Locke said casually: "However, don't let your guard down! Even on such a ship, we are still not safe. All of this is just the beginning. The danger ahead will arrive sooner or later."

"Your Highness!"

"Don't you worry!"

Lei Ounai said confidently: "My Observation Haki is no joke!"

Although Lei Ounai looked carefree, Locke knew that Lei Ounai had absolutely listened to his words. Her personality was just like that. Since that was the case, there was nothing to talk about.

What's more!

Lei Ounai's Observation Haki was very amazing. Most importantly! The path Lei Ounai's Observation Haki seemed to be taking was not any of the paths recorded in the booklet Captain Rocks gave him, but a path that Captain Rocks had recorded and called a guess.

Although! It was not yet known if it could succeed, but! As long as there was a possibility of success, then it was good.

"However..."

Lei Ounai sat up, sat cross-legged, and asked strangely: "Your Highness, what is the mission this time?"

"See for yourself."

Locke took out the information from the side, handed it to Lei Ounai, and watched the pitch-black sea in front of him quietly, enjoying the pleasure of this peaceful fishing.

"Let me see..."

Lei Ounai took out the information and began to read it.

"Holy crap?!"

"Ah?!"

Lei Ounai's eyes widened instantly. Good heavens, what is this?

Phoenix Pirates!!!

Phoenix: Wa Erke!

Devil Fruit: Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Phoenix Fruit!

Bounty: 1.765 billion Beli!

Pirate crew executive...

Reading the information line by line, Lei Ounai said in astonishment: "Your Highness, is this something we can handle?"

Locke nodded calmly: "According to our current strength, it's almost impossible. Even! With Akame's ability, there is a chance to kill Wa Erke's Phoenix Fruit, but! According to the number of their executives, we are also certain to die."

"Then what should we do?"

Lei Ounai blinked. She seemed a bit confused. How should this be handled?

This is no joke!

Phoenix Pirates.

Wa Erke's bounty is 1.7 billion, a solid Emperor-level/quasi-Admiral-level powerhouse, plus there are six top-tier executives under him with bounties between 800 million and 1 billion. With such strength, does it need to be said?

What's more!

They are a pirate crew with over 5,000 people under them. If it were just relying on Locke, Lei Ounai, and Akame? That would be waiting for death! This mission absolutely has no possibility of completion.

Even!

If Locke and Akame joined forces and could directly kill Wa Erke, who possessed the Phoenix ability, the other executives could also tear the three of them apart.

This is a huge strength gap, it's just too huge. ===== CHAPTER 119 =====
