Chapter 709: Blackbeard Pirate Crew member—Captain Franky!

The Straw Hat Pirates' companions successfully defeated the Luo Wei Pirate Crew; they fought for their dreams and fought to protect their companions. Locke also gained the recognition of his companions; they knew that with Locke's help, they could defeat any enemy.

"Locke, you really are a great person!" Luffy patted Locke on the shoulder, "With you by our side, we really have a lot of confidence."

"I also feel that our tacit cooperation is getting higher and higher," Locke said with a smile, "I am very happy to be your companion."

"Where are we going next?" Nami asked.

The Straw Hat Pirates continued toward their next destination. In the sea area of the New World, they unexpectedly encountered Sabo, the sworn brother of Fire Fist Ace.

"Sabo?" Luffy said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Luffy!" A flash of surprise crossed Sabo's eyes, "I really didn't expect to meet you here."

"What's wrong with you? You look very nervous｀ ˇ." Luffy asked.

"I am tracking the Blackbeard Pirate Crew; they stole my friend's heart," Sabo replied, "I must get it back, otherwise my friend will not be able to survive."

"Then let's go defeat the Blackbeard Pirate Crew together!" Luffy said loudly.

The Straw Hat Pirates embarked on a journey to find the Blackbeard Pirate Crew together with Sabo. In a vast sea area, they finally found the hiding place of the Blackbeard Pirate Crew. But they also encountered a member of the Blackbeard Pirate Crew—the powerful Captain Franky.

Franky was a giant of a man, possessing astonishing strength and agility. His attack power made the Straw Hat Pirates' companions feel like they had no way to start. Zoro's Three-Sword Style could not cut through Franky's steel body, and Chopper's small monster form could not get close to Franky. Nami's Clima-Tact could not land effective attacks on Franky either.

"Damn it! How can we defeat him!" Luffy shouted loudly.

"That's right!" Locke responded, "We must unleash our tacit cooperation."

Under the leadership of Luffy and Locke, the Straw Hat Pirates' companions began to coordinate their attacks on Franky. Locke used his Teigu ability to manipulate the flow of time, making his attacks even more swift. His Flame Sword ignited with raging flames, instantly incinerating Franky's defenses.

Franky felt the power of the Straw Hat Pirates' companions and began to become manic. He let out a heaven-shaking roar, attempting to launch a final counterattack.

But Luffy did not fall behind; he used his own body to block Franky's attack. At the same time, Chopper, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp also unleashed their respective skills and Teigu abilities, coordinating their attacks on Franky.

Franky felt the attacks coming from all directions; he attempted to block them with his body, but was ultimately defeated. He fell heavily to the ground and stopped moving.

The Straw Hat Pirates and Sabo finally defeated Franky, and they obtained the Blackbeard Pirate Crew's treasure map. They knew that as long as they found this treasure map, they would have a chance to find Sabo's friend's heart.

In the following journey, the Straw Hat Pirates struggled together with Sabo, searching for clues to the treasure map. They experienced countless dangers and challenges, and in this unknown New World, they continuously grew and continuously challenged their own limits. ===== CHAPTER 711 =====
