Chapter 550

She began to back away; she knew she was now facing a very powerful enemy.

Kaido began to attack the Empress. His fists carried powerful Haki, and a single blow could destroy a building. The Empress continuously dodged his attacks; her swordsmanship was no longer enough to deal with Kaido.

"You stupid humans, you will never be able to defeat me," the Empress roared.

"We shall see," Locke said, beginning to attack the Empress.

The Empress's attacks were very vicious; she continuously used various techniques to attack Locke and Kaido. However, the coordination between Locke and Kaido was very tacit; they continuously avoided the Empress's attacks while counterattacking.

Finally, Locke and Kaido defeated the Empress. The Empress's plan was completely stopped, and she was defeated. Locke and Kaido successfully protected the peace of this world, and they became heroes.

"Locke, you did very well," Kaido said to Locke.

"Without your help, I could not have done all this," Locke replied.

"We are allies; we should help each other," Kaido said.

Locke and Kaido left the Empress's laboratory together. They knew their adventure was not over yet; they still needed to continue protecting the peace of this world.

Locke and Kaido walked toward the seaside, wanting to find a ship to go explore and look for more treasures and adventures. When they reached the seaside, they found a very large ship; the flag of this ship had three skulls painted on it, which was Blackbeard's flag.

"What's going on? Why would Blackbeard appear here?" Locke asked.

"He is a pirate who often haunts this sea area," Kaido replied.

"What should we do?" Locke asked.

"Let's go up and see to understand the situation," Kaido said.

The two walked onto Blackbeard's ship, and the pirates on board immediately drew their weapons, preparing to fight Locke and Kaido. However, Blackbeard appeared, saw Locke and Kaido, and immediately ordered his subordinates to stop the attack.

"Oh, Locke, you've come," Blackbeard said.

"How do you know my name?" Locke asked.

"I am the Pirate King; I know all the powerful warriors in this world," Blackbeard replied.

"Then, what do you want with me?" Locke asked.

"I heard you are a very powerful warrior, and I want you to become my subordinate," Blackbeard offered generous terms.

"Become your subordinate? Why would I want to become your subordinate?" Locke asked.

"Because I can give you infinite wealth and power, making you the most powerful warrior in this world," Blackbeard replied.

"I don't need your wealth and power; I only need to protect the peace of this world," Locke said.

"Then, you have missed a very good opportunity," Blackbeard said, a trace of disappointment appearing on his face.

"We have already made it very clear; we will not become your subordinates," Kaido said, his voice full of determination.

Blackbeard sneered, "Fine, since you are unwilling to become my subordinates, then you can only become my enemies."

Blackbeard's subordinates immediately drew their weapons, preparing to fight Locke and Kaido. Locke and Kaido also prepared themselves, and they began a fierce battle with Blackbeard's subordinates.
