Chapter 684

"That's right!" Usopp also followed up and said, "We must walk this path together until we achieve our dreams."

Locke and the Straw Hat Pirates went through many difficulties and challenges together, and the friendship and trust between them became increasingly deep. During their escape, they encountered many difficulties, but all relied on the support and help between each other to successfully overcome every hurdle.

"You hateful pirates, how could you possibly get away!" The Marine general roared, chasing after the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Brother Locke, what should we do?" Luffy asked.

"I'll handle them." Locke answered with a smile.

He used his Teigu power, controlling the seawater and wind, creating a massive water wall to block the Marine soldiers. He also created a whirlpool, dragging the Marine ships into it. His Teigu power made his enemies feel incomparable fear and an unstoppable force.

"You guy, who exactly are you?" The Marine general glared at Locke.

"I am Locke, and this is my territory." Locke answered calmly.

He continuously used his Teigu power, creating gale-force rainstorms, instantly destroying the Marine ships. His power was endless, and his determination was unwavering.

"Brother Locke, you are truly too amazing!" Luffy said with emotion.

"Heh, this is far from over; I still have a long way to go." Locke answered with a smile, "We still have many difficulties to face, but as long as we work hard together, we will definitely be able to overcome them."

"That's right!" Luo Bin agreed, "We are a team, fighting together, growing together."

The Straw Hat Pirates and Locke continued on their journey to the New World and arrived at Fish-Man Island, a mysterious island occupied by fish-men. There were many strange creatures and unusual sights here, and the Straw Hat Pirates felt very curious and excited.

"Wow, this place is so magical!" Chopper jumped excitedly, "There are so many strange fish and plants."

"Yes, the creatures and environment here are indeed very different from the world we are familiar with." Luo Bin said lightly, "I want to learn more about the history and culture of this island."

"We still need to be careful; after all, this is the fish-men's territory." Zoro warned, "If we annoy them, we'll be in trouble."

"Don't worry, we aren't here to cause trouble..." Luffy answered with a smile, "We are just here to find our partner."

The Straw Hat Pirates' purpose in coming to Fish-Man Island was to find the fish-man Bagel who had been captured by a pirate crew. They knew Bagel was on this island and was being imprisoned in a secret place. They decided to take action and find Bagel's whereabouts.

In the process of searching for Bagel, the Straw Hat Pirates encountered some challenges and difficulties from the fish-man race. They discovered that the fish-men on this island had great hostility and disgust toward humans; they did not want humans to come here, and even less did they want to interact with humans.

"You humans, what exactly do you want?" A fish-man patriarch scolded the Straw Hat Pirates, "You came to our territory and disturbed our lives."

"We are just here to find our partner; we won't hurt anyone." Luffy said calmly, "We hope to be able to live in peace with you."

"Peace? You humans, you don't even know what peace is!" The fish-man patriarch said angrily, "You plunder our resources, destroy our environment; you are our enemies!"
