Chapter 657: The Bagrat Pirate Crew!

Crocodile himself also participated in the battle; he was an extremely powerful opponent, and his attacks became increasingly fierce. He controlled the water source, constantly using water-element attacks against the Straw Hat Pirates. However, the Straw Hat Pirates still persisted in the fight, using their own strength to confront the enemy.

In one attack, Crocodile successfully knocked down Locke. The Straw Hat Pirates were very worried; they knew that without Locke, it would be difficult for them to defeat Crocodile.

"Locke!" Luffy shouted loudly.

"It's okay, I can still fight." Locke stood up with difficulty, his eyes filled with determination.

He decided to give up mastering the elements of fire, water, wind, and earth, and instead focused his energy on mastering a more powerful force. He began to try to master the lightning element; the lightning element was the strongest of all elements, capable of destroying everything.

Amidst Crocodile's attacks, Locke gradually mastered the lightning element. He launched an attack

against the enemy, using the lightning element to destroy Crocodile's defense. Cracks began to appear on Crocodile's body, and he felt immense pain.

"What is this power!" Crocodile exclaimed.

Locke's power became increasingly strong, and his attacks became increasingly ferocious. He constantly launched attacks at the enemy, and every attack left the enemy in awe. The Straw Hat Pirates also felt Locke's power, and they cast looks of reverence toward Locke.

Under Locke's leadership, the Straw Hat Pirates finally defeated Crocodile and rescued the imprisoned Princess Vivi. They successfully protected the lives and property of the people, earning the respect and praise of the people.

"You are true heroes!" Princess Vivi said gratefully.

"We only did our duty," Luffy replied modestly.

The Straw Hat Pirates left the Kingdom of Alabasta and continued toward their next destination.

After the Straw Hat Pirates left the Kingdom of Alabasta, they embarked on their journey to the next destination. During this journey, Locke displayed even more powerful strength. He not only mastered the lightning element but also mastered more elements, including ice, light, darkness, space, and so on.

The power of Locke's Teigu became increasingly strong, and he constantly used his power to protect the Straw Hat Pirates. Under his leadership, the Straw Hat Pirates traveled along the way, defeating one strong enemy after another. Their reputation also continued to rise accordingly.

However, the journey of the Straw Hat Pirates was not smooth. During one adventure at sea, they encountered the Bagrat Pirate Crew. This was an extremely brutal pirate group that obtained wealth and power through killing and plundering. The Straw Hat Pirates knew that if they did not eliminate them, they would bring disaster to more people in the future.

Consequently, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Bagrat Pirate Crew engaged in a fierce battle. Locke unleashed his powerful Teigu power; he used the lightning element to destroy the enemy's defense and used the ice element to lock down the enemy's attacks.

Locke's Teigu power surprised the Bagrat Pirate Crew; they did not expect the Straw Hat Pirates to possess such powerful strength. They began to panic, not knowing how to respond to the Straw Hat Pirates' attacks.

"These guys are actually this strong!" the captain of the Bagrat Pirate Crew exclaimed, "Counterattack quickly! We cannot lose to these guys!" ===== CHAPTER 659 =====
