Chapter 655

Facing these powerful enemies, the Straw Hat Pirates nervously picked up their weapons, preparing for battle. Luffy raised his Pirate King Sword, Usopp picked up his bow and arrow, and Sanji lit his cigarette, preparing to fight the enemies to the end.

Locke faced the strongest enemy; in his heart, he was filled with both fear and confidence. He took a deep breath, widened his eyes, and prepared to welcome the enemy's attack.

The battle began; both sides went back and forth, competing with each other. Although the Straw Hat Pirates were few in number, they were very coordinated; they supported each other, protected each other, and coordinated tacitly, making the enemies have no choice but to be intimidated.

In the intense battle, the Straw Hat Pirates constantly absorbed the enemies' combat experience and constantly improved their combat techniques; finally, they defeated all the enemies. They picked up the treasure, their hearts filled with joy and a sense of achievement.

"We did it!" Luffy said excitedly.

"Yes, we are the strongest!" Locke said proudly.

The Straw Hat Pirates were victorious, but they knew this was just a new beginning.

After obtaining the treasure, Locke and the Straw Hat Pirates decided to continue moving forward to search for the next target. Just then, Luffy received a distress signal; they learned that the imprisoned Princess Vivi needed their help.

"We must rescue her!" Luffy decided to go rescue Princess Vivi.

"That's right, let's set off!" Locke followed closely behind.

They arrived at the Kingdom of Alabasta; this was a desert country, filled with yellow sand and scorching heat everywhere. There was a cruel dictator here—Crocodile; he controlled the entire country by controlling the water source, leaving the people in fear of water shortages.

Luffy and Locke decided to defeat Crocodile and rescue the imprisoned Princess Vivi. However, in the Kingdom of Alabasta, they encountered many difficulties and enemies. Locke discovered that they needed stronger power to defeat the enemies, so he began to try to control his own Teigu power.

Locke's Teigu power was an ancient power that allowed him to master the energy of nature, including elements like fire, water, wind, and earth. However, this power was not something everyone could master; it required constant cultivation and exploration.

With the help of the Straw Hat Pirates, Locke began to try to control his Teigu power. He practiced mastering the fire element, attempting to attack the enemies with the fire element. His first attempt was not successful, but he did not give up; he continued to cultivate and try constantly.

After he mastered the fire element, he began to master the water element, attempting to attack the enemies with the water element. This time, he succeeded; he wiped out a team of enemies with the water element. He continued to try to master other elements, and gradually, he became increasingly powerful.

While controlling his own Teigu power, Locke was also helping Luffy rescue Princess Vivi. They defeated Crocodile's subordinates, but they still needed to face Crocodile's most powerful subordinate—Pirate King Barbarossa. ===== CHAPTER 657 =====
