Chapter 673

His body emitted a brilliant radiance, and a powerful energy surged from his palms, interacting with the surrounding seawater to form a massive water pillar. Locke's Teigu power could control water, allowing the power of water to be exerted to its limit; this was also his sharp weapon for walking on the sea. He controlled the water pillar, transforming it into countless water swords, and bombarded Hody Jones with them.

Hody Jones was trapped by the water swords, his body began to be weakened, and blood gushed out. He felt his power beginning to gradually wane, unable to continue fighting against the Straw Hat Pirates.

"This is impossible..." Hody Jones roared, "How could I lose to a group of humans and a marine weapon?"

But the facts were right before his eyes; the Straw Hat Pirates had already defeated him, and his conspiracy had also been exposed. Locke and the others continued to display their power and courage, defeating the other members of the New Fish-Man Pirates one by one.

The Straw Hat Pirates defeated the New Fish-Man Pirates, contributing to the peace between humans and fish-men. Locke's strength also made the other members respect and recognize him even more. Next, they headed to Carmel Island, but encountered another crisis.

"Why is it so quiet here?" Luffy frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.

"Look over there!" Nami suddenly pointed ahead, where a glow of fire was reflected in the sky.

The Straw Hat Pirates decided to go and investigate. They arrived at the center of the island and discovered that a city had been burned down, and the residents in the city were all controlled by a group of pirates.

"These pirates seem very powerful." Usopp gripped his gun handle tightly, feeling a bit afraid.

"We cannot just sit and wait for death." Sanji said without fear, "We must save this city."

Locke also felt the responsibility on his shoulders; he knew that he had to use his Teigu power to help the Straw Hat Pirates save this city.

"I'll do it!" Locke shouted loudly.

He began to use his Teigu power, controlling the surrounding seawater to form a massive water curtain. The water curtain shifted constantly with Locke's gestures, surrounding the city and allowing the Straw Hat Pirates to approach the enemy stealthily.

"Who is messing around here?" A pirate discovered the Straw Hat Pirates and shouted loudly.

The Straw Hat Pirates engaged in a fierce battle with the pirates. Locke used his Teigu power to condense the seawater into sharp water blades, continuously slashing at the enemy. His attacks were accurate and unerring, hitting the mark with every strike, making the enemies afraid to approach easily.

"This guy's attacks are too terrifying!" A pirate shouted in horror.

The Straw Hat Pirates were not to be outdone either; Luffy used the power of the Rubber Fruit, smashing at the enemies punch by punch, Sanji brandished his knife, Zoro danced his Three-Sword Style, and Nami used her control over the weather to make lightning strike the enemies.

"I'm blinded!" The pirate leader shouted, trying to open his eyes.

"Your luck has run out." Luffy smiled disdainfully.

The Straw Hat Pirates' attacks became increasingly fierce. They fought in coordination, with perfect tacit understanding, defeating the pirates one by one. Locke, meanwhile, remained in control of the seawater, helping the Straw Hat Pirates clear away the enemies.

"Everyone be careful, the enemy still has room for a counterattack!" Sanji warned.

Just then, a tall pirate appeared before them, holding a massive steel long spear, filled with killing intent.
