Chapter 602

"Will?" Locke felt a bit puzzled.

"That's right, will is the key to Conqueror's Haki."

"I understand," Locke suddenly realized. "Then, how do you measure the strength of will?"

"Everyone's will is unique; you need to constantly feel and explore. The perception and mastery of Conqueror's Haki require time and effort."

"I will try my best," Locke said.

"Alright, I have something in my hand right now that will be helpful to you. Look at this." Lei Li took a small bottle from his pocket, which contained a small drop of special liquid.

"What is this?" Locke asked.

"This is the essence of Conqueror's Haki that I collected from a remote sea area; it can help you further explore and feel Conqueror's Haki," Lei Li replied.

Locke took the bottle, which had a large character for "Conqueror" printed on it, as if it had blessed him with power. His heart was filled with excitement, and he seemed to hear a voice inducing him, telling him this was a critical moment.

"Your strength is proportional to your dreams," Lei Li said. "This bottle will connect the two. When you use it to explore new opportunities and challenges..."

Locke held the Conqueror's essence Lei Li gave him, his heart full of longing and anticipation. He knew his strength was not yet powerful enough, but he believed that as long as he worked hard to explore and feel the power of Conqueror's Haki, he would definitely be able to become an excellent pirate.

Thus, Locke left the sea town in the East Blue and began his journey of training. He took his small boat and sailed west, wanting to find more opportunities and challenges.

In the long voyage, he encountered many troubles and difficulties, but he persisted, constantly tempering his will and strength. He had fierce battles with some pirates and also met some friendly crew members, sharing many stories and experiences with them.

Finally, he arrived at the territory of a legendary pirate called "Fire Fist" Ace. Ace was a very powerful pirate, possessing terrifying abilities and endless power. Locke had heard his name but had never seen him in person.

Here, Locke met Ace's subordinate, a pirate called "Black Blade" Ma Ji. Ma Ji was Ace's capable general, possessing very powerful strength and skills.

Locke and his party arrived at a desolate sea area, known as the "Sea of Death," said to be a place where pirates often frequented. Locke's goal was to find clues about Fire Fist Ace, but they didn't expect to meet Ace's subordinate—Black Blade Ma Ji—here.

"Who are you? Why come here?" Ma Ji looked at Locke and his party coldly.

"We are looking for clues about Fire Fist Ace," Locke answered without fear.

"Fire Fist Ace?" Ma Ji seemed a bit surprised. "What do you want to find him for?"

"We have some private matters to discuss with him," Locke said.

"Heh, you really have guts," Ma Ji mocked. "Ace is not someone to be trifled with; you'd better give up."

"We will not give up," Locke said. "We will keep tracking until we find him."

"You do have some courage," Ma Ji said. "However, I am not someone to be trifled with. If you want to find Ace, you have to get past me first."
