Chapter 649: Thunder God Sword!

"You are a brave white tiger, but you are also too stubborn," Locke said. "You could have chosen to come with us and search for a new world that belongs to you."

But Barton's body had already turned cold; he would never move again. Locke was silent for a while, then looked up at the sky.

"Barton, may you find the freedom you want in another world," Locke said silently.

The Straw Hat Pirates left a deep mark on Fish-Man Island; they defeated Barton and his pirate crew, liberating the residents on the island.

Locke and the Straw Hat Pirates continued to move forward. In their journey, they encountered a mysterious pirate named Shanks. Shanks was a powerful captain, and his pirate crew was once famous in the New World.

Locke had heard of Shanks' name, and he really wanted to talk to this legendary pirate. They agreed to meet on a small island called Baratie.

At Baratie, Locke and Shanks met. They sat down in a bar and began to exchange stories about each other.

"I heard you defeated Barton on Fish-Man Island?" Shanks asked. "That was a quite powerful silver white tiger."

"Yes, we defeated him," Locke said. "He was a very brave white tiger, but he was too stubborn, so he failed in the end."

"Haha, it seems you are really strong," Shanks smiled. "Then, have you heard of Teigu?"

"Teigu?" Locke asked suspiciously. "What kind of thing is that?"

"Teigu are legendary divine artifacts; it is said that they each possess different powers and can change the fate of the world," Shanks explained.

"Sounds very mysterious," Locke asked with interest. "Have you seen a Teigu?"

"Of course," Shanks said. "I once saw a Teigu in the New World; it was a sword called the Thunder God Sword."

"Thunder God Sword?" Locke's eyes widened. "That is a legendary sword."

"That's right," Shanks nodded. "The power of that sword is very powerful; it can control the weather and cause huge destructive power."

"Sounds very dangerous," Locke frowned. "Where is that sword now?"

"Now, it is sealed in a place called Sky Island," Shanks said. "However, some people have already begun to search for it; they want to control this world."

"This is too terrifying," Locke said.

"It is indeed terrifying," Shanks nodded. "But I believe you can stop them."

"We will do our best," Locke said. "We cannot let the Teigu fall into the hands of evil people."

"I believe in you," Shanks smiled. "You are a very outstanding pirate crew."

"Thank you," Locke said gratefully. "Then, do you have any suggestions on how to find that sword?"

"First, what you need to know is that Sky Island is a very mysterious place," Shanks explained. "It is located above the Red Line, and only those who possess a ship can reach it."

"So, we need a very powerful ship to do it?" Locke asked.

"Not just a ship, you also need a powerful pirate crew," Shanks said. "Because there is a very powerful warrior team on Sky Island, you need to be prepared to welcome the challenge." ===== CHAPTER 651 =====
