Chapter 450

To harvest so many fruits at once.

It is foreseeable that the strength under Locke's command will soon usher in a brand-new surge. An update and iteration! The moment to evolve to a brand-new version!

As for the speculation about the fruits' powers?

Hmm...

Najenda indeed hasn't carefully studied the Devil Fruit Illustrated Guide, and certainly wouldn't recognize these extremely obscure fruits.

But!

To be hidden by a top-tier nation like the Totonia Freshwater Kingdom.

To be cherished and placed in a secret vault.

And to be sealed with precious stone to prevent leakage, in itself represents the royal family's regard, as well as their preciousness!

Even if they aren't top-tier, incredibly powerful fruits like the 'Logia Ice-Ice Fruit' or 'Paramecia Hobby-Hobby Fruit', they won't be worthless trash like the 'Human-Human Fruit: Commoner Form'.

At the very least, they must be high-tier fruits. The possibility of getting a top-grade one isn't non-existent.

Even Totonia Muka's 'Logia Freshwater Fruit' is, to a certain extent, a powerful fruit second only to the top tier; it's just that his strength was too weak to unleash its power.

"The harvest~"

"Is quite good!"

Locke had a faint smile on his lips; he didn't have high requirements for the types of fruits, but this impressive quantity had already made him incredibly happy.

Adding the inside and outside together, a total of eight Devil Fruits—even if he were to summon another Imperial Arm, he would still have a surplus!

It is absolutely a bumper harvest beyond expectations!

A proper flying start!

"Adding the previous ones..."

"It's already approaching ten fruits."

"Summoning an Imperial Arm, or choosing a direct evolution, can immediately support two uses. Even if I want to save one opportunity for a rainy day, there would still be one left to use..."

"In that case, there is still a gap of 2 fruits..."

"No, it should be 3."

Locke murmured, carefully estimating the consumption of the Imperial Arm space.

6 fruits are enough to activate it once.

Theoretically, 12 should be able to achieve two, but from the feeling last time of being about to reach the critical point, Locke could feel that if he used it another one or two times, the consumption would increase again.

Conservative plan! It still has to be three fruits!

However...

"It's enough!"

Locke nodded with satisfaction.

To be able to achieve such great results on the first raid, Locke was already quite satisfied.

The North Blue!

And even the Four Seas!

Are all within his hunting range.

These seas that have been calm for a long time... the allied nations hidden on them... and the primordial kingdoms are not few in number.

Locke has no interest in bullying other countries.

But as for the enemies' allies?

He won't have the slightest bit of mercy!

Locke isn't a saintly character; raiding the enemy's lifeblood to strengthen himself—isn't that standard procedure?

"A powerful organization that robs countries around the world!"

"With plundering treasures as its core!"

"Let the summoned Imperial Arm users become members of the organization; it's absolutely reliable and can maintain a high level of mystery!"

"Not only can it plunder Beli and fruits to enhance one's own strength, but it can also strike at the majesty of the World Government, consume their energy, and make them focus their energy on a non-existent organization..."

Locke raised his eyebrows slightly.

The plan, which originally only had a skeleton, was quickly filled with substance by him.

As for the platform?

He could completely take Dragon's set and piece it together!

The Revolutionary Army's philosophy should be able to make those guys in the World Government who are watching the show jump up in agitation!

Anyway, he hits and runs.

With Xi'er's map hack and Najenda's particle-state shuttle, Locke really isn't afraid that anyone can catch him. If he really can't beat them, can't he just run away? Avoid the limelight and come back later!

Anyway, with the Imperial Arm space, once he raids enough Devil Fruits and finishes evolving the Imperial Arm, he can just bring people back to settle the score and push them over directly.

"¨「 In that case~"

"This is a long-term grand plan!"

Najenda's eyes lit up.

She instantly understood Locke's development direction.

On the surface, stay holed up in Noxas and ignore the World Government's schemes, but in the shadows, act together with the Imperial Arm users, ravage and develop on the sea in the name of the organization, plunder endless treasures, and strengthen oneself.

While plundering, also summon the sleeping Imperial Arms one by one to expand the organization's strength and form a cycle.

While everyone else thinks Noxas's development has stagnated.

In fact!

It has already become the black hand overturning the sea.

When the veil is lifted, even the world will tremble for it!

Super exciting!!

"Since it's not a small-time operation, for the sake of authenticity, we should give the organization a name, right?"

"What name would be good~"

Leone, who likes to join in the fun, poked her head out; her furry animal ears were super cute.

"Let's call it Akatsuki—"

Looking at the black robe on his body, Locke's playful lips carried a hint of nostalgia.

"Akatsuki?"

Leone blinked.

"The dawn that pierces the darkness and bestows rebirth upon the world!"

Locke's resolute tone.

Was like a beam of morning light piercing through the darkness!

The darkness that has been shrouded in shadows and has blocked freedom for eight hundred years should also usher in a true morning light!

World!

It shall be led by me!

In Locke's black-and-white eyes, there was a radiance that made people dare not look directly.
