Chapter 145: The eerie calm before the storm!

The second day.

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

Of course.

No one paid any attention to Akame's departure; after all, the internal situation of the Rocks Pirates had already entered a violent stage, like a terrifying powder keg, and under such circumstances, naturally, no one had the heart to pay attention to anyone else.

Slap!

Slap!

Lei Ounai walked behind Locke and couldn't help but sigh: "My lord, this hostility is truly terrifying. Anyone who didn't know better would think something had happened. The entire Rocks Pirates is now like a powder keg, giving people the feeling that it could ignite at any moment."

Locke shook his head calmly and said: "Inaccurate! To be precise, the Rocks Pirates right now doesn't just look like a powder keg; it is an extremely terrifying powder keg already on the verge of exploding. This powder keg has already been lit; 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 hint of terrifying scarlet killing intent—this also represented the horror of the current Rocks Pirates.

"Hmm~~~"

Lei Ounai walked to Locke's side. Dressed in short sleeves and hot pants, she pondered and said: "My lord, regarding this situation, Captain Rocks doesn't seem to have any reaction at all!"

"No reaction." Locke nodded and said: "Or rather, this is the result Captain Rocks wants. What Captain Rocks wants is this kind of chaos and terror, to completely sweep through everything and cover everything entirely. This is what is laid out before our eyes."

"Is that so..."

Lei Ounai hesitated slightly, finding it hard to imagine.

After all!

According to Lei Ounai's way of thinking, you have built the most powerful pirate crew in the world, one that is unprecedented and will never be surpassed. If it has reached this level, shouldn't you be managing it all very carefully? That is what should be considered! But the problem lies right here: Captain Rocks doesn't want peace or continued development; he wants chaos and terror.

This is very strange!

Normally speaking!

A person, at the very least, shouldn't do this! Such behavior gives people a feeling that is extremely strange, or even, one might say, very eerie.

Locke said very indifferently: "Is it strange? That is because you don't understand Captain Rocks' thoughts at all. Essentially, he wants a higher status, and to seize a higher status, normal development is simply unrealistic."

"Only by bringing absolute elevation to the Rocks Pirates in a terrifying way."

"Only in this way can the Rocks Pirates truly grow and reach the level where Captain Rocks' ambition can be fulfilled."

"Now!"

"All of this is laid out before us. Can it succeed?"

"This is Captain Rocks' thought. He doesn't need a group of law-abiding guys; he needs a group of madmen, a group of monsters. Because! Only such guys can truly unleash everything and develop everything to the extreme. This is the most important core."

"..."

Listening to his lord's explanation, Lei Ounai seemed not to have expected that it would be such a situation.

"This..."

Lei Ounai also pondered and said: "My lord, you knew about this! Then..."

"That's right!" Locke nodded and said: "Just as you guessed, it's not just me; in fact, many people know Captain Rocks' thoughts, but it is simply meaningless. In the Rocks Pirates, there are only two types: the living and the dead."

"Rocks D. Xebec!"

"Captain Rocks!"

"He is too strong, strong to a degree that people simply cannot imagine. On this sea, it is hard to imagine that such a terrifying guy could appear. And precisely because of this, this terrifying guy is still growing step by step, improving himself step by step."

"It can be said!"

"This is the very core. Whitebeard, Golden Lion, BIG MOM, Wang Zhi, John, Silver Axe, including all 72 officers counting myself, everyone knows this situation, but no one can resist!"

"..."

"Because we are no match for Captain Rocks. Facing Captain Rocks' invincible strength, we only have the result of certain death."

Locke's voice was very light, yet it depicted an extremely cruel reality. This is a sea where the strong are respected. Rocks D. Xebec, the strength of the strongest man in the world, is simply too terrifying, having reached a level that people cannot imagine. Precisely because of this, under such a level, what people feel is endless fear and dread.

Precisely because of this!

Locke is very clear and understands all of this, and he is even clearer about what the final outcome will be. After all, as a transmigrator, he knows the result of the God Valley War. Otherwise, he would absolutely never have joined the Rocks Pirates.

Just kidding!

He is not an idiot, nor is he a fool. If the Rocks Pirates are like this, and he were to participate in it like a fool, what would the result be? In fact, this is self-evident. Anyone who isn't an idiot knows exactly what it's like.

Because Locke is a transmigrator, he knows what the outcome of this behemoth will be, so he has the qualifications to participate in it. But what about the others? They can only look for opportunities.

The God Valley War!!!

This is the only opportunity. For them, this is the only opportunity; it will absolutely never happen a second time. They seized this opportunity, betrayed Captain Rocks during the God Valley War, and let Captain Rocks die in God Valley.

Thus!

The Rocks Pirates completely disbanded. It can be said that this is something everyone could accept, and it is also the most hopeful thing before their eyes to end all of this. If they failed? Then everything would be a complete failure. This is absolutely beyond doubt.

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

"So that's how it is!"

"It's truly despair-inducing!"

Lei Ounai sighed. The current Rocks Pirates is called the most terrifying pirate crew in history, yet this pirate crew contains such terrifying despair, making people truly feel only endless despair.

It looks bustling and lively, but in reality, everything is suppressed within it, which is the most helpless and painful thing!

"Hoo~~~"

Taking a deep breath, Lei Ounai shook her head. She didn't continue to think too much about it. After all, for her, she didn't have that much inner capacity or ability; it was enough to just follow her lord's orders.

"Worororo~~~"

Just then, a crazy laugh came to their ears, and Kaido walked over step by step. He leaped up and landed on Locke's ship.

Kaido grinned and said grimly: "Locke! You guy, you really dare to say anything! You even dare to say such things out loud?"

"Hehehe~~~"

Looking at Kaido, Locke said faintly: "What is there not to dare to say? This is just something everyone acknowledges! However, facts are facts, but whether it can be done is another matter."

"Tch!"

Kaido curled his lips and said casually: "You guy, you talk so nicely, as if you don't care about all of this."

"I really don't care much!" Locke spread his hands and said casually: "I have money here, and I have Devil Fruits here; why should I care about all of this? Your way of thinking is actually really strange!"

"..."

Kaido stared fixedly at Locke, as if wanting to see through Locke's thoughts. In the end, he withdrew his gaze because he couldn't see anything on Locke's face. He just shook his head and said calmly: "Forget it! I'm too lazy to bother with your thoughts. Your way of thinking is very strange, and I'm not interested either. However! I always feel that you seem to know something."
