Chapter 272: Set sail! Locke who devours the world!
"Tsk."
"Truly luxurious!"
Even Locke, who has a considerable net worth, couldn't help but smack his lips.
Like this, placed here.
It is clearly placed at hand, just as a prop for fun, and can be rewarded at any time on a whim, just to see the better performance erupted by other slaves after possessing the fruit.
No one moved it, it must be that the CP organization and that group of guards didn't dare to move this Celestial Dragon's things, fearing being liquidated and blamed afterward. When they evacuated, the time was rushed, and it was even more impossible to have time to take it.
Don't think this is impossible.
In the original work.
Empress Hancock.
The Mero Mero no Mi she relied on to become stronger, wasn't it forced on her by a Celestial Dragon who wanted to see what the effect of a Devil Fruit was, in a side show when she was a slave.
So!
Anything unreasonable, as long as it happens to a Celestial Dragon, will instantly become reasonable.
After all! That is a Celestial Dragon!
Disgusting Celestial Dragons!!
Ugly privileges, dirty nature, compared to the Navy that claims to be justice, these ugly guys who trample on humanity for fun are even more disgusting, wishing they could all be cleared out. The Navy is just their lackeys.
—
"Humph!"
A killing intent flashed in Locke's eyes, and he unceremoniously put this fruit into his bag.
Besides the fruit.
There were quite a few treasures around, not to mention anything else, the pillars made of pure gold were worth quite a lot of Beli.
Esdeath's luxurious way of training soldiers was a huge number of Beli consumption. Before, she could rely on the looting of war to maintain expansion, but looting is ultimately limited. Before finding other new sources of income, being able to make a fortune here and fill the big hole was also quite good.
But time and space are limited.
Even Locke couldn't loot without limit.
Don't look at him being arrogant now, wandering in the God Valley battlefield, peerless, not even able to find a match, and even more than half of the opponents are fleeing at the sight, rarely daring to confront head-on.
As if he were already invincible and possessed peerless strength.
But!
Locke clearly understood that this was just an illusion!
Purely because he occupied a gap before and after.
The Navy, World Government, and top combat power were all dragged down and had no time to take care of other things, which created him, a super-standard player wandering outside the top battlefield, worthy of being a BUG existence.
But!
This kind of good day clearly couldn't be maintained forever.
Whether it's the top combat power group in God Valley, any one of them deciding the winner, freeing up time, and gathering people.
Or the reinforcements of the sea, land, and air forces summoned by the World Government from outside God Valley arriving in time, the exaggerated troop and combat power of several times could directly smooth out the gap between the two, free up their hands, and forcibly suppress him.
World Government!
This monster that cut off the history of the 'Blank Century', destroyed I don't know how many heroes and ambitious people, and suppressed the world for a full eight hundred years.
Its strength is absolutely terrifying beyond imagination, this is a fact that needs no questioning at all.
Locke hadn't forgotten.
Don't look at the Rocks Pirates fighting fiercely now, looking peerless.
But in reality?
In the original work, it is clearly recorded that the only ones who could survive were those few guys like Whitebeard.
Others?
All dead!
Died without even leaving their names on the sea, just becoming a sad silhouette of the battle.
【Reading source:...】
That is to say.
Ninety-nine percent of the pirates present would die without even leaving slag.
This!
Is a destined outcome.
At least.
Locke hadn't expanded to the point where he could step into Rocks' battle and use his own strength to change the result of Rocks' defeat, thereby replacing the outcome of the battle.
It looks like a grand gluttonous feast, but in reality, it is a time-limited buffet with a pre-marked closing time.
—Time-limited buffet.
"The same opportunity..."
"Is hard to have a second time!"
Locke sighed faintly.
Regardless of what Rocks' goal is, under the World Government's tough rule of being loose outside but tight inside, wanting to tear open such a big gap is absolutely a very difficult thing.
The same thing, in a short time, is almost impossible to happen a second time.
This should basically be a destined thing.
The World Government's foundation, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely needs no doubt, is absolutely terrifying beyond imagination, this is a fact that can be thought of casually.
If one were to miss this feast at God Valley, which serves to accumulate the difficult initial capital, the possibility of having a similar event again is almost non-existent...
According to the timeline calculation.
Besides the Battle of God Valley, the only thing that can make the World Government, this behemoth, tremble, is probably waiting until later, when the terminally ill 'Pirate King' Roger voluntarily surrenders, and in the world live broadcast of the beheading platform, announces to the world the 'Great Pirate Era' triggered by ONE PIECE, that's all.
Short time.
No qualification for careful selection at all.
The harvest in God Valley this time will largely determine the development process and goal planning of Locke, and even Noxas, for a long time to come.
After all!
When the battle ends, with the demise of Rocks, the rule of the Rocks Pirates will also instantly collapse.
After losing the core Rocks, this is already a destined thing.
At that time!
Without the big ship and umbrella of the Rocks Pirates to shield them from the wind and rain, it means that Locke can only face all this himself, and it also means that Noxas is moving from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
Formally.
Stepping into this sea full of 'miracles' and 'dreams' with his own identity.
To face the biting wind, waves, and oppression.
Although the crisis is greater, the opportunities that accompany it will also become larger.
Staying under the protection of others, no matter how strong you are, you are just a sad chick.
Only by truly fighting against the wind and waves can you possibly transform into a fierce creature galloping in the sky!
Locke, who is greedy enough to want to possess the world, how could he always be willing to stay under others, he has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
What he needs to do now!
Is to work hard, accumulate as many resources as possible, and loot enough resources from the Rocks Pirates, this giant ship that is about to sink, to let him soar better.
Locke doesn't dare to waste, nor is he willing to waste. He just finished looting one place and rushed to the new target without stopping.
Working hard for one minute now can at least make the future a hundred times easier!
