Chapter 155

But!

Locke's own situation, wanting to destroy an empire is not an easy thing. Of course! Destroying a country doesn't mean killing everyone in the country, but killing the country's army, making it have no ability to resist, handling the empire's nobles, royal family, etc., cleanly, and finally plundering the empire's treasures.

This is equivalent to destroying a country. After all! If it were all destroyed from the start, that would be the strangest thing.

But no matter how you say it, the current situation is the situation before our eyes. Wanting to handle it is not easy to handle!

"Hmm~~~"

"The Hode Empire's strength is not bad. Wanting to destroy it like this is not an easy thing."

Locke pondered in his heart, feeling the possibility was too low.

Still the same sentence!

Locke only has himself and Lei Ounai in his hands, and there is no one else. Just relying on two people to destroy a country?

Uh~~~

This difficulty can only be said to be too high, almost impossible to do.

"My lord!" Lei Ounai pondered and said: "Assassination? Handle all the empire's royal family, nobles, generals, etc. If so, it is also a better method."

"Hmm!"

Locke nodded slightly and said: "This method is feasible, but! Many things still need to be pondered and considered. There are still quite a few subsequent problems, all of which need to be carefully pondered."

"Hmm!"

"Hmm!"

Lei Ounai also nodded seriously, but! It's not urgent for the time being. After all! This matter is not an easy thing. Locke also knows that this task is not to plunder any wealth, but to let the whole world see the terror of the Rocks Pirates.

So!

Locke must do this. Otherwise, it is not completing the task. However, wealth naturally belongs to himself.

"Hmm~~~"

Sitting on the sofa in the room, Locke secretly pondered: "If handled through assassination, now it seems that it is indeed the most appropriate thing. According to external intelligence, the entire Hode Empire, the only one with powerful strength is a general known as the Stone General. Besides that, there are no powerful experts."

Lei Ounai's thinking is no problem, but Locke also needs to consider it carefully.

Not a joke!

Lei Ounai is from Night Raid, and in Lei Ounai's view, the Hode Empire's strength, just two people attacking head-on, not to mention whether they can attack it down, is mainly a bit unnecessary!

Precisely because of this!

It is better to choose a method. And what is this method?

This is relatively important!

In Lei Ounai's view, handling all of this through assassination seems to be the most appropriate method, and also the easiest to handle everything well. This is absolutely the best method. Since so! Following this method, isn't it the most appropriate?

However!

Locke also needs to consider it. In Locke's view, the next things should be how to handle them, subsequent things, how to consider them, these are the truly important cores. After all! What he wants to do is to let the whole world see the terror of the Rocks Pirates.

After all!

He has no hatred with the Hode Empire, and he has no inevitable connection with the other party. More is this task. What he wants is Devil Fruits, and everything else is meaningless.

"However!" Locke narrowed his eyes and secretly said: "According to Lei Ounai's thinking, it is also very appropriate. As long as the deterrent power is enough, handle the Stone General, and others are simply not worth mentioning."

"And..."

"The Hode Empire's population is not too many, but it has a mere million people. As long as the intelligence is investigated first, it is very easy to complete."

Locke determined his thoughts in his heart, then took out the Den Den Mushi, called the officer in charge of intelligence, and soon got all the intelligence he wanted.

Although!

The Rocks Pirates, such a terrifying behemoth, basically just rushing forward is enough. But! That is just a saying. For this sea, the Rocks Pirates is not an idiot, and of course, they are very clear that they should get intelligence, they still need to get intelligence.

After all!

On this sea, if you don't even have intelligence, that is a very strange thing. Precisely because of this! Locke easily got his intelligence.

The Rocks Pirates' intelligence capability can be called the world's number one without any exaggeration.

And...

In the future era, the Big Mom Pirates is called the industry's number one intelligence capability. Locke suspects that it was when the Rocks Pirates disbanded that all the personnel in this aspect were taken away by that crazy woman Linlin. Otherwise! With Linlin's ability, it would be difficult to develop to the industry's number one!

But!

These are not important things. Locke's expression was just very calm, carefully flipping through all the intelligence, determining many problems. These are the most important things. And only by determining all the intelligence can there be no problems.

"Stone General!!!"

"Hmm~~~"

"Paramecia Stone-Stone Fruit ability user."

"This is the strongest of the entire Hode Empire."

"Similarly!"

"The most troublesome person. If he can be handled, then! Everything will be much simpler."

Locke looked at the intelligence before his eyes and was pondering the Stone General's problem.

Hmm~~~

Of course!

It's not saying that confronting the Stone General head-on and killing him, that is too simple for Locke. The Stone General's strength is indeed not bad, but at most it is at the Vice Admiral level. Such strength, if Locke wants, Locke can easily slaughter the Stone General.

But!

The biggest problem is the Stone-Stone Fruit. This Devil Fruit is a very special Devil Fruit. Although it is not a Logia type, it can integrate itself into the stone environment. If you want to catch him out, it is not an easy thing.

To put it bluntly!

There is only one chance. If you don't seize the chance, and this Stone General always wants to escape, it is not easy to catch this guy. This is a very important thing.

"My lord." Lei Ounai stood by Locke's side and pondered: "Except for this guy called the Stone General, others are very easy to handle. They can be handled casually, they are all trash!"

Lei Ounai didn't take others to heart at all. They are all trash! Wanting to handle these guys?

Hehehe~~~

Isn't that easy?

Locke didn't deny Lei Ounai's words and said calmly: "Time is just one night. I want to handle everyone at the fastest speed. The shock power generated this way is enough. Only in this way! Can I get the Devil Fruit in the task."

"Hmm!"

Lei Ounai nodded, naturally knowing her lord's thoughts.

After all!

Devil Fruit, for her family, is the most important material. As for everything else? It is not important at all, and it is not a big problem! For this matter, this is absolutely a very important core.

Devil Fruit!!!

Whether it is summoning new Teigu or improving the power of existing Teigu, Devil Fruits are needed. And since they are all needed, but! This Devil Fruit is simply not enough! It is a treasure that is too precious. And such a precious treasure, you want to get it? It is not an easy thing!

After all!

For this sea, Devil Fruit is also a strategic material. You want to get it? It is not an easy thing!

In a situation where there is no way!

Every opportunity to get a Devil Fruit is very valued. Every Devil Fruit will absolutely not be wasted. They must be used in the most critical situation. Otherwise! It is like a joke.

Precisely because of this.

Locke values this task very much. No way! This is a full 3 Devil Fruits!

As long as this task is completed, the number of Devil Fruits in his hands can be increased to 7. And according to his estimation, the number of Devil Fruits needed for the fifth Teigu is 5. And from the sixth Teigu, the number of Devil Fruits needed is probably 6. Because of this problem, Locke also needs to carefully ponder how to handle the next situation.

"Hmm~~~"

Locke pondered carefully, considered all situations, and finally nodded: "According to the current situation, success is absolutely beyond doubt! However! Our action here is just a beginning. What is truly important is Esdeath's action."

That's right!!!

With the action of the Rocks Pirates, the entire sea will completely fall into chaos. By that time! This sea is so chaotic, what will the next situation be?

And this is the absolutely very important core. Precisely because of this, many things need to be carefully considered, and also need to be handled very seriously. Under such circumstances.

Next...

He can't make money here, and he has no chance to get more Devil Fruits, but! For Esdeath, it is different. Looting the North Blue, if successful, then! The benefits that can be obtained are too huge.

"My lord!"

Lei Ounai said seriously: "Don't worry, although I don't like that woman Esdeath, but! That woman's ability is absolutely beyond doubt."
