Chapter 59

Crack!

Crack!

Following the crisp and pleasant sound, Locke breaks his bones one by one, lowers his head, and says extremely cruelly: "Very interesting! Wanting to sneak attack? Don't even have the courage to face me head-on?"

"..."

The youth with blood-red hair stares fixedly at Locke, seemingly wanting to remember Locke; as long as he is given a chance, he absolutely will not hesitate.

"..."

"Hahaha~~~"

Looking at this look, Locke, who was silent, suddenly laughs loudly and says interestingly: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river? You aren't planning to say something like that, are you?"

"Forget it!"

"I am not a sadist, and I am not interested in torturing people."

Snap!

Locke stomps his head directly, and before he dies, he seems to be unable to imagine that Locke would actually kill him.

You have to know...

He is a crew member personally recruited by the Golden Lion: Shiki!

That's right!

Shiki also conducted recruitment, and this youth directly stomped to death by Locke was recruited by him, just like Newgate recruited Locke and Kaido; this island also has people recruited by other executives.

After all!

Everyone is about to join the Rocks Pirates, and they of course want to determine their status through such an opportunity.

The title of first place in this recruitment assembly! Everyone is very interested in it.

It's just...

He was actually slaughtered directly by Locke, and even, he never imagined that he even revealed his name, yet he was still slaughtered.

"Is this guy an idiot?" Locke looks at the dead-as-can-be redhead, seemingly feeling it's still not particularly secure, and punches fall, directly leaving him with no corpse.

Not kidding!

Such a guy, who knows if he is the type to shout "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young for being poor," or if he will come up and use some Blue Silver Entanglement on himself; it's better to be a bit more ruthless, preferably the kind that leaves no corpse.

Locke is not good at dealing with souls; otherwise, he would pull his soul out and kill him directly.

"Pah!"

"Bai Chi!"

Locke spits and complains: "His head is completely problematic, isn't it? This is the Rocks Pirates! Don't you think revealing your name here is useful? This is a place where the weak are prey to the strong and the fittest survive!"

Not kidding!

For the Rocks Pirates, it can be said that they have brought the spirit of the New World's "weak are prey to the strong, the fittest survive" to the extreme; yet you are here mentioning people to me?

Was your head kicked by a donkey!

"Forget it." Locke shakes his head and mutters: "In the future, I must stay away from such guys who obviously have head problems; this kind of guy obviously has a bad head and is easy to get infected."

Swish!

Just at this moment, Locke dodges a fatal blow at the same time, tilts his head slightly, and a curve curls at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly!

Locke is like a tiger out of a cage, rushing toward the person who attacked him with extremely fast speed, throwing a punch, a terrifying punch, seemingly wanting to take the other's life.

Even!

This punch of Locke's is infused with Armament Haki, and even because the speed is too fast, the friction with the air actually draws a bright flame.

Mm~~~

Luffy's Red Hawk also uses this principle; as long as it is attached with Armament Haki, then! It is itself as hard as steel, and under such terrifying hardness, as long as the speed is fast enough, then! It will directly draw fire.

Friction ignites!

It's a very simple truth.

But ah!

Although this truth is very simple, the probability of success? It is not high!

The reason is even simpler: if a person's punch speed can be fast enough to ignite by friction with the air, what an astonishing speed that would be!

"Huh?!"

And the person who sneak-attacked Locke obviously didn't expect such a situation.

In an instant.

He was actually stunned?!

Instantly!

This strike directly smashes onto this man's head.

Snap!

Sizzle~~~

Sizzle~~~

Following the scorching flame burning instantly, the power of this punch makes the air emit a strange smell.

"Hoo~~~"

Locke lets out a long breath and continues to head straight into the distance; it's not enough! Not enough! The battle has lasted for a full day and night, but ah! In this day and night, at most, only one-third have been eliminated.

After all!

What is gathered on this island are all terrifying monster youths, and there are many little monsters directly recruited like Locke and Kaido. Since that is the case, as long as they are not idiots, they are very clear about how astonishing the strength on this island is.

But ah!!!

On this island full of monsters and geniuses.

In the end!

What needs to be compared is also very simple; it is to see who is truly more terrifying, to see who is truly stronger! This is the most unquestionable thing; absolute strength, absolute terror, the result of the comparison brought about? That is absolutely unquestionable!

One day, one-third of the island was eliminated.

Five days, another one-third of the island was eliminated.

Thirty days, half of all the remaining people on the island were eliminated.

In the end!

A full 45 days have passed.

There are actually nearly 50 people left on this island.

It's just!

This number of 50 people, each one is more terrifying than the next.

Especially...

Snap!

Snap!

Locke walks on the road step by step, his whole body wrapped in a terrifying aura, as if he were a ferocious Hannya, a terrifying evil ghost, roaring crazily. This man has gone through this 45-day life-and-death game.

Strength!

Has once again received a terrifying improvement.
