Chapter 851: The power of the Evil-Purifying Mirror Jeanne!

However, as the battle reached the end, Locke and Whitebeard's strength seemed to reach a certain balance; no matter how hard they tried, neither could gain a decisive advantage.

Finally, they stopped their attacks simultaneously, looking at each other. Although both were covered in wounds, both revealed firmness and determination.

"Whitebeard, your power truly makes me admire you; we fought to a draw." Locke said, his voice filled with respect.

Whitebeard smiled and nodded, responding in agreement: "Locke, your Flame-Flame Fruit is indeed powerful; you are an outstanding warrior. Our duel makes me even more convinced that the strong on the ocean never give up."

The two looked at each other, turning from opponents into friends; they supported each other as they walked out of the battle arena.

When Locke and the child continued their adventure, they arrived at a mysterious sea area. This sea area was said to hide a legendary pirate, known to people as Red-Haired.

Locke and the child stepped onto this mysterious sea area with curiosity, hoping to encounter Red-Haired and engage in a battle with him. They prepared to meet this challenge with hot-bloodedness and courage.

Finally, they met Red-Haired on a small island, a pirate draped in a red cloak. Red-Haired's eyes revealed firmness and determination; he looked at Locke and the child and smiled.

"Are you here to challenge me?" Red-Haired asked calmly.

"That's right! We are here to challenge you, Red-Haired!" Locke replied without backing down.

Red-Haired smiled and nodded; he knew these two young people possessed extraordinary courage.

"Very good, I appreciate your courage. Then let us engage in a real battle!" Red-Haired's voice was filled with passion.

Locke gazed at Red-Haired and took a deep breath. He was determined not to retreat, to prove his strength with his own power.

"Red-Haired, I will display the power of my Evil-Purifying Mirror Jeanne!" Locke declared.

Locke held the Evil-Purifying Mirror Jeanne, a dark energy gathering within the mirror. He gazed at Red-Haired and activated the power of the Evil-Purifying Mirror, copying Red-Haired's power.

The battle began, and the figures of Locke and Red-Haired intertwined fiercely on the island. Their fists and feet collided, releasing deafening sounds... Locke utilized the copied power of Red-Haired and launched a fierce attack.

Red-Haired did not show weakness; his body dodged Locke's attacks agilely and countered swiftly. His fists and feet carried hot-bloodedness and power, each strike filled with passion.

Locke felt the power of Red-Haired, but his determination kept him from retreating. He gathered all his will and power, meeting Red-Haired's attack without fear.

"Red-Haired, no matter what trump cards you have, I will defeat you!" Locke roared, his entire body surging with incomparable hot-blooded energy.

Red-Haired smiled, his eyes flashing with admiration.

"Locke, your courage and determination are worthy of praise. But on this sea area, I am the strongest!" Red-Haired's voice was filled with majesty and firmness.

The two clashed again, their fists and feet intertwining, releasing massive energy fluctuations. The land on the island trembled amidst their battle; the sea wind howled, and heaven and earth seemed to shake at their duel.

Locke constantly dodged Red-Haired's fierce attacks, then countered swiftly. His fists and feet carried endless hot-bloodedness and power, each strike bringing destructive force.
