Chapter 842: Storm, you cannot break our determination!

Just as they were struggling to steer the ship forward, a pirate ship suddenly appeared before their eyes. Standing on the ship was a young and handsome pirate: Ace.

"Do you need help?" Ace inquired, his voice revealing firmness and determination.

Locke nodded gratefully.

"Yes, we need help. This storm is too violent; we cannot handle it alone," Locke answered sincerely.

Ace decided to lend a hand, and his ship approached the ship of Locke and the child.

"Jump over! I will protect you!" Ace shouted loudly.

Locke and the child jumped onto Ace's ship without hesitation. Ace's crew members looked at the storm nervously; they knew this would be a difficult battle.

Locke looked up at the pitch-black sky, his body radiating an aura of fortitude.

"Storm, you cannot stop our pace forward!" Locke roared, his voice disappearing into the roar of the storm.

The crew members on Ace's ship were infected by Locke's aura; they worked together to fight against the storm.

Locke looked around, his gaze resting on a pirate who had been swept away by the storm: that person was Ace's younger brother, Monkey D. Luffy. He was struggling hard, but the power of the storm held him firmly in its grip.

"Ace, your brother has been swept away by the storm! We must save him!" Locke said anxiously.

Ace nodded; he took a deep breath and released scorching flames.

"Locke, I will save my brother; you protect the others. Let us overcome this storm together!" Ace said firmly.

Locke and Ace rushed toward Luffy in the storm. Locke activated the Wheel of Creation—Forever; his body radiated endless vitality. His fists carried the will of creation, breaking the shackles of the storm and saving Luffy.

"Locke, thank you for saving my brother!" Ace said gratefully.

Locke smiled and shook his head.

"We are partners; helping each other is a matter of course. Now, let us overcome this storm together!" Locke shouted, waving his arms.

The battle entered a critical stage; Locke, Ace, and the other crew members united, using their strength and courage to fight against the storm. Their ship struggled forward in the giant waves of the storm, each jolt honing their will to be even stronger.

"Storm, you cannot break our determination! We will overcome you!" Locke roared, his voice echoing in the storm.

The storm seemed to feel their determination, attacking the ship even more violently. Locke and Ace fought side-by-side, using their fists and flames to neutralize every attack of the storm.

Finally, after a long and difficult battle, the storm gradually subsided. The sea surface returned to calm, and sunlight shone on them through the clouds.

Locke and Ace gripped each other's hands tightly, their eyes filled with the joy of victory.

"We have overcome the storm!" Locke said happily.

Ace nodded, a proud smile on his face.

"Locke, thank you for your help; we have successfully weathered this storm. From now on, we are true partners!" Ace said excitedly.

Locke and the child continued their adventure, pursuing new goals. In an unknown sea area, they suddenly encountered a mysterious pirate: the legendary Whitebeard—Edward Newgate. ===== CHAPTER 844 =====
