Chapter 129

They just need time.

Locke also needs time; he is already 17 years old, but! His strength is still in a stage of rapid development. He needs time to continue improving himself, and! This is an extremely long and, furthermore, extremely important period of time to improve himself more quickly and work harder, so that his strength can reach a level corresponding to his reputation.

"However!" Locke also muttered: "This time, with my reputation greatly boosted, plus the increase in my bounty, the only benefit is that for a very long time! Noxas will not face any problems."

To put it bluntly!

The safety of Noxas depends on Locke; as long as Locke's prestige is great enough, as long as Locke's reputation is big enough, and as long as Locke's bounty is high enough.

Then!

Noxas will not have any safety issues. After all! For those guys in the North Blue, they also know that if they dare to make a move against Noxas, Locke, a pirate who is like someone barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes, will not have any fear. He is truly someone who dares to charge to their door and slaughter them.

So!

Some things are truly unnecessary. It's not worth it! It's not worth it! Provoking such a madman is completely unnecessary. As long as both sides don't completely tear off the mask, it's about enough. If a full-scale war really breaks out, that is more or less a bit unnecessary.

It is precisely because of maintaining this mindset that, for the entire North Blue, the current Noxas is truly very safe. After all! No one is willing to face the truly insane Locke!

That is a matter of absolutely no significance!

This matter!

Is definitely very important.

Pirates!

For the major powers on this sea, they truly look down on them. After all! These guys have no bottom line; they are just a bunch of madmen. For the major powers, any issue needs to be considered, needs to be pondered, and then they continue to consider whether to fight.

And the result?!

These pirates are a bunch of genuine madmen. For these madmen, what do you expect from them?

Stop joking!

They have absolutely no concerns. If they want to kill you, they will fight you to the death. But the problem is! Fighting to the death with such guys means that in the true sense, you gain nothing if you win, and lose everything if you lose!

The situation is quite awkward.

Next!

For Locke, that is really not an important matter. Returning is returning; what should be done will be done, what should be busy will be busy, and he just needs to continue training hard.

Eating, training, sleeping.

Locke returned to his three-point-one-line life once again.

However!

25 days after Locke dealt with the Phoenix Pirate Crew, and 10 days after Locke returned to the Rocks Pirate Crew, the result! Locke's bounty poster was just issued.

The voyage took 15 days, and he had been back for 10 days.

The result!

The bounty poster was just issued. Without joking, Locke felt it was quite absurd. Other people's bounty posters are basically issued in about a week. How come when it gets to him, it's almost been a month?

However!

No matter what, this matter is not considered too important. At the very least! For Locke, it really isn't particularly important.

It's just...

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Compared to the very calm Locke, Lei Ounai was very excited. She took three steps in two, like an excited kitten, and headed straight for Locke, saying excitedly: "Your Highness! Your latest bounty poster is out."

"The latest bounty poster?" Locke was stunned. To be honest! He had forgotten about the bounty poster. He was slightly dazed, then said in surprise: "It's been 25 days, and the Navy only just issued my bounty poster?!"

"Indeed."

Lei Ounai was also slightly stunned. If nothing else, it really is! It has been a full 25 days. Just as mentioned before, this is simply absurd, isn't it?

Without joking!

It has been a full 25 days, and you only just sent me the bounty poster?

Uh~~~

Anyway, Locke felt it was very strange, but he still took the bounty poster handed over by Lei Ounai.

"1.5 billion Beli?"

"Hmm?!"

Locke looked at the amount that had jumped from 600 million to 1.5 billion Beli in one go, pondered slightly, then shook his head and said: "To be honest! This bounty is simply too high; it is completely inflated! For me, this bounty has no meaning at all."

Regarding this point!

He was very calm. If he didn't have the corresponding strength, then he didn't; if he didn't, he didn't; if he wasn't worthy, he wasn't worthy. There was nothing to say about this, and it wasn't a big problem.

"Your Highness!" Lei Ounai smacked her lips and said: "It seems there is no need to say it like that, right?"

Locke shook his head and said: "Such an inflated bounty might be a good thing for those pirates who want to become famous, but for me, it is actually a bad thing. After all! I don't lack reputation, but at the same time! For me, do you think reputation has any meaning?"

"Uh~~~"

Lei Ounai pondered slightly, then said seriously: "That is indeed the case! Your Highness, just as you said, reputation is a matter of absolutely no meaning to you. You only need time to grow."

"Not bad!" Locke nodded and continued: "Before this bounty poster came out, I could barely maintain a balance. Next! Trouble is going to come knocking."

"Hmm?!"

Lei Ounai pondered slightly, seemingly knowing who this trouble was coming from.

"However!" Locke's mouth curled up, and he said with extreme madness: "As for me! I am actually very interested in trouble coming to my door! After all, only in battle is strength improved the fastest!"

Pop!

Crackle!

Clenching his fist with one hand, Locke's eyes radiated infinite chill and infinite madness and terror. Don't forget! Locke has never been a good person; he is a genuine, terrifying madman. Guess what this madman will do?!
