Chapter 682

"Ace, are you okay?" Luffy asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, thanks to your help." Ace answered gratefully.

"We cannot just escape like this; we must avenge our brothers who heroically sacrificed themselves!" Luffy said, a firm light flashing in his eyes.

"Brothers, follow me!" Luffy led the Straw Hat Pirates and launched an attack on Marine Headquarters.

Locke knew that his power was very critical now; he began to use his Teigu power, controlling the seawater and wind, to provide support for the Straw Hat Pirates. He created a gale and sea waves, repelling the enemies and giving Luffy and the others the opportunity to launch attacks.

507 The Straw Hat Pirates and the Marines engaged in a fierce battle, and neither side was willing to show weakness. With Locke's help, the Straw Hat Pirates gradually gained the upper hand. They defeated the Marine soldiers one after another and eventually arrived at the highest point of Marine Headquarters.

There, they encountered the powerful Marine general—Akaige.

"You pirates, how dare you break in!" Akaige roared.

"We are just fighting for what we believe is right." Luffy said firmly, "We cannot let our brothers sacrifice themselves in vain; we must avenge them."

"You foolish pirates, how could you compare to us righteous Marine soldiers?" Akaige mocked.

"Justice?" Locke said disdainfully, "You kill and burn, and you still have the nerve to say you are righteous?"

"Shut up, you shameful pirates!" Akaige glared at Locke.

The Straw Hat Pirates and Akaige engaged in a fierce battle. Locke controlled the seawater and wind, helping Luffy and the others fight against Akaige. Both sides went back and forth, fighting until the sky turned dark, and the scene was exceptionally intense.

"Luffy, be careful!" Zoro shouted, launching an attack on a Marine soldier.

"No problem!" Luffy answered, while rushing toward Akaige.

Akaige launched an attack, and a powerful aura radiated from his body, making the Straw Hat Pirates feel immense pressure. Luffy exerted his abilities to the fullest, trying his best, but could not defeat Akaige.

"How is this possible?!" Luffy gritted his teeth, desperately launching attacks.

"Give up, you pirates, you have absolutely no chance of winning!" Akaige laughed loudly.

Locke saw the battle between Luffy and Akaige; he knew now was the time for him to act. He used his Teigu power, controlling the seawater and wind, creating a gale and rainstorm, repelling Akaige.

"Brother Locke, thank you!" Luffy said loudly.

"You're welcome." Locke answered with a smile.

Locke knew he could not let Akaige escape like this, otherwise the Straw Hat Pirates' efforts would be in vain. He used his Teigu power, controlling the seawater and wind, creating an ocean whirlpool, swallowing Akaige.

"You pirates, you despicable and shameless guys, you actually..." Akaige shouted in horror, but soon disappeared into the whirlpool.

Akainu saw that Akaige had been defeated and immediately led the Marine soldiers to pursue the Straw Hat Pirates. The Straw Hat Pirates and the Marines fell into a fierce battle again, and the scene became even more chaotic and dangerous.

Locke controlled the seawater and wind, continuing to provide support for the Straw Hat Pirates. He created a gale and sea waves, repelling the Marine soldiers and opening a path for the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy and the others escaped along the path, but Akainu had already caught up behind them.
