Chapter 704

The leader of the Dark Shadow organization sneered, "Alright, you can try and see."

Locke, along with Lace and the partners of the Straw Hat Pirates, engaged in a fierce battle with the members of the Dark Shadow organization. The members of the Dark Shadow organization were powerful, but Locke and the partners of the Straw Hat Pirates were not intimidated, relying on their own strength and Teigu abilities to engage in a tragic battle with the members of the Dark Shadow organization.

Locke's Flame Sword played an important role; his flames could burn the attacks of the members of the Dark Shadow organization and could even burn their defenses. Lace's Teigu ability allowed her to control beasts, and she could use this ability to attack the members of the Dark Shadow organization, making them fall into a predicament.

The partners of the Straw Hat Pirates also displayed their own strength: Chopper's transformation ability, Zoro's swordsmanship, Nami's Clima-Tact, Usopp's sniper rifle, and Robin's Devil Fruit ability allowed them to perform excellently in the battle.

Although the members of the Dark Shadow organization continuously launched attacks at them, Locke and the partners of the Straw Hat Pirates never gave up. Their will became increasingly firm, and their strength became increasingly powerful. In the fierce battle, they finally defeated the members of the Dark Shadow organization.

"You... how could you be so strong!" the leader of the Dark Shadow organization said in surprise. "I will not admit this result!"

"This place needs balance and peace; your plan will destroy everything here," Locke said. "We must protect this place."

The leader of the Dark Shadow organization left this place through gritted teeth, their plan having failed.

"Locke, thank you for protecting this place," Lace said gratefully. "You are truly people worthy of respect."

"We just did what we should have done," Locke responded. "Protecting this place is our responsibility."

Locke and the partners of the Straw Hat Pirates successfully protected the Kingdom of Beasts and continued to move toward their dreams. This time, Luffy heard news about his brother Sanji; he was imprisoned in a mysterious place and needed to be rescued. Luffy decided to head to this place, and Locke and the partners of the Straw Hat Pirates went along together.

In that mysterious place, Luffy and Locke encountered many powerful enemies; these enemies were very dangerous, and they almost lost all their combat effectiveness. Locke used his Flame Sword and Teigu ability to help Luffy defeat those enemies, finally successfully finding the place where Sanji was imprisoned.

"Sanji, we've come to save you!" Luffy said happily.

"Luffy, you finally came!" Sanji responded gratefully. "I have been waiting for you."

However, the place where Sanji was located was surrounded by enemies. They were a powerful pirate crew; they were very ferocious and wanted to kill Luffy and all his partners. Locke and the partners of the Straw Hat Pirates prepared to engage in a tragic battle; to save Sanji, they had to defeat these enemies.

"We cannot let them succeed; we must protect Sanji!" Locke shouted loudly.

The partners of the Straw Hat Pirates all gathered around Luffy and Locke, preparing to engage in battle with the enemies.
