Chapter 656: Powerful Locke!

"You guys really came at the right time," Barbarossa mocked. "You want to rescue Princess Vivi? That won't be easy."

"We will never give up!" Luffy shouted.

Locke also walked to Luffy's side; he could feel the powerful aura radiating from Luffy, which was the power he had always pursued.

"I will also help you," Locke promised Luffy.

They began to engage in an intense battle with Barbarossa. Barbarossa was extraordinary in skill and specialized in using powerful wind force; he constantly launched fierce attacks at the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy and Locke also used all their strength; they attempted to master Barbarossa's attack rhythm and find flaws to counterattack.

In the process of the battle, Locke once again displayed his Teigu power.

He mastered the wind element and used the wind element to counter Barbarossa's attacks. Barbarossa's attacks became increasingly strong, but Locke became increasingly proficient in using his own Teigu power, using the wind element to neutralize Barbarossa's attacks. His Teigu power also began to be gradually discovered by others.

"Locke's power seems to be even more powerful!" Luffy said in surprise.

Usopp and Sanji also saw Locke's changes; they felt the powerful aura on Locke.

"He is becoming increasingly strong," Usopp said.

"He is truly worthy of being our partner," Sanji also exclaimed.

The battle became increasingly intense, and Barbarossa's attacks became increasingly fierce. The Straw Hat Pirates experienced an intense battle; they were all very exhausted, but they still persisted in fighting.

Locke's Teigu power was not just a power, but a faith. His mastery became increasingly strong; he used the wind element to attack Barbarossa's vital parts. Barbarossa's body began to show cracks, and his attacks became increasingly unstable.

"This guy!" Barbarossa roared angrily. "I want to wipe you all out with my own hands!"

He gathered powerful wind force, attempting to make it impossible for the Straw Hat Pirates to escape. But Locke's Teigu power allowed him to master the power of the wind element; he rushed to Barbarossa's side and neutralized Barbarossa's attack with his own power.

The Straw Hat Pirates seized this opportunity and launched a total attack. Luffy used the Pirate King Sword, Usopp used his bow and arrow, and Sanji used the Three-Sword Style; they attacked Barbarossa together and finally knocked him to the ground.

The Straw Hat Pirates defeated Barbarossa, but they knew the true enemy was still ahead—Crocodile. He was a dictator who controlled the Kingdom of Alabasta by controlling the water source, leaving the people in fear of water shortages.

The Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Crocodile's castle, preparing to engage in an intense battle with him. Crocodile's subordinates greeted them; they picked up their weapons, preparing to fight the Straw Hat Pirates to the end.

The Straw Hat Pirates performed very bravely in the battle; they engaged in a tragic battle with the enemies.

Luffy used the Pirate King Sword, Locke used his own Teigu power, Usopp used his bow and arrow, and Sanji used the Three-Sword Style; they coordinated tacitly, constantly attacking and defending.

In the battle, Locke's Teigu power played a huge role. He mastered elements like wind, water, fire, and earth, using his own power to attack the enemies.

His power became increasingly strong, and he became increasingly proficient in mastering his own power, making the enemies have no choice but to be intimidated.
