Chapter 686

"Thank you for your trust!" Luffy answered gratefully, "We hope to be able to become good friends with you."

The Straw Hat Pirates and the fish-man race built deep friendship and trust.

After spending a pleasant time on Fish-Man Island, the Straw Hat Pirates continued forward and finally arrived at the territory of the New Fish-Man Pirates. This pirate crew was led by Hody Jones, and they possessed powerful strength and a mindset of revenge. They believed that humans were the enemies of the fish-man race and must be completely eliminated.

"It looks like this is a dangerous place." Zoro looked around, "We must act carefully."

"That's right, there are many enemies here; we must remain vigilant at all times." Luo Bin said.

"We must work together to defeat them and guard the peace of the fish-man race!" Locke puffed out his chest, his spirit soaring.

The Straw Hat Pirates and the fish-man race joined forces and began a thrilling battle. They surged forward, engaging in a fierce confrontation with the New Fish-Man Pirates. The power of the seawater and the fish-man race shone together, and the scene was exceptionally spectacular.

Locke exerted the full power of his Teigu, controlling the seawater and wind, dragging the New Fish-Man Pirates' ships into a whirlpool. He displayed astonishing strength and courage in the battle, becoming the backbone of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Brother Locke, I'll help you!" Luffy shouted, using his finishing move—Fire Fist: Bursting Fist. He attacked the enemies punch after punch, defeating them one by one.

"Everyone charge forward!" Sanji roared, drawing his trident and engaging in a fierce duel with the enemies.

"Let me cover you!" Chopper shouted, transforming into a small animal and raiding the enemies' flanks.

The Straw Hat Pirates displayed powerful combat effectiveness, breaking through the New Fish-Man Pirates' heavy defenses all the way, and finally arrived in front of Hody Jones.

"You humans, what right do you have to destroy our business?" Hody Jones roared, the fish-man power on his body radiating a terrifying aura.

"We aren't here to destroy your business; we are just here to find our partner." Locke answered calmly, "We hope to be able to resolve the problem peacefully."

"Peace?" Hody Jones sneered, "Humans have never lived in peace with us; you are just lying!"

"We aren't lying." Locke said firmly, "We have already proven that we are humans who can live in peace with the fish-man race; we will protect the fish-man race and won't let anyone cause them harm."

"You humans, you are all the same!" Hody Jones glared at Locke, "You will never understand our pain; you only bring us harm and humiliation."

Locke sighed deeply; he knew the historical problems between the fish-man race and humans could not be solved in a moment. He decided to use his actual actions to prove his beliefs.

"Luffy, Luo Bin, Chopper, Sanji, everyone come together; we must work together to defeat Hody Jones!" Locke shouted, leading the Straw Hat Pirates and engaging in a fierce confrontation with Hody Jones.

In the battle, Locke fully exerted his Teigu power, controlling the seawater and wind, neutralizing the enemies' attacks one by one. His strength and courage were appreciated and admired by his partners.
