Chapter 394

He!

Has a golden finger!

"Strength!"

"As long as there is absolute strength, all schemes are ridiculous monsters and ghosts..."

Locke's gaze turned cold.

With all forty-eight Teigu out, he had absolute certainty to realize his inner ambition; there was no need to compromise, break his spine to be a dog for the World Government, and help them consolidate their status from the side.

To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!

The fist is the greatest truth.

But...

My truth is still a bit insufficient now.

Locke sighed faintly in his heart.

Before!

Several battles with Emperor-level powerhouses had fully exposed Locke's own shortcomings.

——Insufficient lethality!

Lacking a powerful means to settle the matter with one hammer!

After the characteristics of Akame's Teigu 【One-Strike Kill: Murasame】 were exposed, any powerhouse would definitely be vigilant; wanting to succeed easily like dealing with Snow was already a joke.

For Locke.

It was equivalent to directly losing a trump card.

As for Esdeath's Demon's Extract, the crowd-control effect was indeed unique, but the impact of the cold explosion, limited by her own strength, was really somewhat inadequate as a killing move against Emperor-level powerhouses.

No matter what, she was only a quasi-Admiral; even if she was infinitely close to that level, she was always a moment short.

Wanting to use it for a forced kill was still too difficult.

Including Najenda and the others, they were in a similar predicament.

【Internal Group (qi liu san si ba ling yi wu qi)】

Relying on the power of the Teigu, joining forces to entangle with Emperor-level powerhouses was absolutely no problem, and it could even easily achieve Locke's requirements; it was no problem to hold off Whitebeard for a while.

But—

Kill?!

Or defeat?!

The difficulty increased exponentially; it was only possible if one occupied the right time, place, and people.

The diverse Teigu enriched Locke's means and balanced his shortcomings, building him into a hexagonal warrior, but without an absolutely prominent point, it was difficult to settle the matter with one hammer.

So!

"It's time to consume and convert it into strength!"

Locke turned his wrist.

He directly took out all six Devil Fruits stored in the Teigu space.

Originally, they were intended to be used to summon new Teigu, and adding the one accumulated before, it was just enough for the summoning.

But.

The experience in battle, the bounty on the wanted list, and the momentum-building atmosphere emerging on the sea.

Made Locke choose another direction.
