Chapter 637

On the way, the Straw Hat crew encountered Arlong. Arlong was a swordsman from the East Blue; his swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and it was said that even Pirate King Luffy had been defeated by his sword skills.

"Looks like you are also here to save people?" Arlong said coldly, "This is not something you should be concerned about."

"We are not just here to save people, but also to defeat you!" Locke provoked, "Don't want to fight? Then leave!"

Arlong did not leave, but instead drew the sword in his hand, preparing to fight Locke.

Locke looked at Arlong, and the two sides stood in a silent standoff for a while; the surrounding atmosphere became very tense. Usopp was also observing vigilantly from the side, preparing to support Locke at any time.

"You guys are always interfering in other people's business, it's really annoying!" Arlong finally spoke, "But since you have come to challenge me, I won't go easy on you."

"Very good, let's have a fair contest," Locke drew a wide double-edged sword from his waist, the blade glowing with blue light, "Let's begin!"

"You need to be careful, my swordsmanship is definitely not as simple as you can imagine!" Arlong also drew his sword, and his body began to emit a dangerous aura.

The two began to move, blades clashing, the momentum astonishing. Locke's Imperial Tool power was added, making his attacks even sharper, while Arlong also displayed his exquisite sword skills, shrouding the entire battlefield in an intense atmosphere.

"You cannot win against me!" Arlong shouted, the sword in his hand turning into a bolt of lightning, slashing toward Locke.

"You are not powerful enough either!" Locke did not show weakness, the double-edged sword in his hand turning into a blue light, slashing violently toward Arlong.

The two attacks collided violently, emitting bursts of ear-piercing metallic clashing sounds. The surrounding crowd was frightened by their attacks and retreated a few steps.

"This battle is truly intense!" Usopp watched excitedly, and the villagers nearby were also shocked by the battle between Locke and Arlong.

"This is just the beginning!" Locke shouted, the double-edged sword began to rotate, and with a violent wave, a sword aura flew toward Arlong.

Arlong was not to be outdone, the sword in his hand also turned into a bolt of lightning, slashing toward Locke. The two lights met in mid-air, and a blinding light instantly dispersed.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, a black shadow swept past quickly from the side, blocking Arlong's attack.

"What's going on?" Locke frowned; he felt the aura of this black shadow was very unusual.

After the black shadow landed, it slowly revealed the figure of a person. This was a man wearing a black robe with a gloomy face, holding a black longsword that looked very powerful.

"Who are you? Why are you interfering in our battle?" Locke asked vigilantly.

"Hahaha, my name is Night Blade, I am the leader of the mercenaries here," Night Blade sneered, "The matters here have nothing to do with you, you'd better leave now."

"Mercenaries?" Locke frowned, "Could it be that you are also here for the treasure of Koya Village?"

"That's right, we accepted a commission from a mysterious client to find the treasure of Koya Village," Night Blade said without concealment, "However, I don't want to drag things out with you for too long, now let you see my swordsmanship!"
