At Seven Water City, at the port, Ember, carrying Locke on his back, left the battlefield with Barrett Zomu, Alulu and the others and quickly came here. "Hey, Locke, I didn't expect that the white-bearded guy would come to save you this time. You are fortunate."

Just as they arrived at the port, a man sitting cross-legged on the ground drinking said. The man wore a triangular captain hat, a Western sword, and a gun hung at his waist. He wore a blue captain coat, and his face was full of sideburns.

"What do you have to do with Whitebeard? Also, when did you have another partner?" Although the man didn't do anything, the vague sense of oppression constantly told Locke and the others that he was a ruthless character.

Moreover, the corpses all over the port made it clear that this man was ruthless. "Hey, who are you? Stop talking to yourself!" Barett took a step forward unhappily and looked at the man as he asked. "Who am I? Huhuhuhu." The man suddenly laughed and stood up, staggering towards Locke.

Seeing the man's actions, everyone immediately became alert. "My name is Barbossa, a mafia family from the West Sea. I used to be a famous pirate." Barbossa introduced himself as he staggered to the front of Ember and looked at Locke.

"Hey, kid, will you lie on your companion's back and talk to me?"

"Hmph!" Ember snorted coldly at Barbossa's words and stared at him coldly. Feeling Ember's cold killing intent, Barbossa laughed indifferently. Locke looked at Barbossa quietly and then had Ember put him down. He raised his head slightly and looked at Barbossa.

Barbossa was tall, at least three meters tall. Locke suddenly found that he was the shortest in the entire pirate group except for Enel. Whether it was Barett, Aceday Sasaki, or others, they were at least three meters tall.  Ember and Versa were more than five meters tall. 

Only he was now more than one meter and nine meters, close to two meters. Locke inserted his sword into the ground and held the hilt of his sword to maintain his balance. "Barbossa, why are you looking for me?" Locke asked calmly as he looked at Barbossa. 

Locke would not let his guard down if he did not know if the other party was a friend or foe. Barbossa seemed to see through Locke's vigilance and laughed carelessly.

"Luhu hu, I am a person who constantly looks for interesting people on the sea. The last time I was interested in someone called Locke. Because I was interested, I accepted his invitation and joined his pirate group. 

As a result, that guy was too hasty and failed in the end. He was beaten until he didn't know whether he was alive or dead." Barbossa took a sip of wine and looked at the kid called Locke.

"And now, another Locke made me interested. Let me join your pirate group. How about it? I want to see who will succeed between you two, Locke and become the new king of this sea."

"Hey, hey, are you kidding? Locke's crew even took the initiative to join our pirate group. What a joke!" Sasaki muttered with some disbelief. After all, the last Locke was too famous. 

Even if the life and death of Captain Locke were unknown, the strong people who came from his ship were more and more powerful. Whether it was Shiki, White Beard Edward Newgate, or Aunty Linlin, they were almost all big pirates who dominated the area. 

Even Kaido was a trainee crew of Locke Pirates. A few years ago, he was killed by the Marine and Golden Lion, Captain John and Silver Axe King. Almost every member of Locke Pirates was a famous pirate. 

When they suddenly heard that the former Locke Pirates member would join their own pirates, no matter who it was, they would be surprised. 

Even Locke was no exception. "Why? I don't think a powerful person like you would willingly submit to someone else." Locke looked at Barbossa with utmost sincerity. He was unwilling to accept an unstable factor on his ship.

Barbossa looked at Locke, who was severely injured. "Well, didn't I say I will only join the pirates I am interested in? As for the people under me, if it is someone I recognize, even under someone, it is not shameful, isn't it?"

"Don't worry. I won't do anything bad to the pirates." Although Locke was still a little worried, Locke trusted him and his companions very much. Even if Barbossa had any wrong ideas, he could kill him. "Well, I agree with you to join our pirate group for now."

Locke temporarily agreed with Barbossa's joining request. In addition to believing in himself and his companions, he recognized Barbossa's strength. Almost everyone in the pirate group was injured, and some were even seriously injured. 

For safety reasons, it was better to have someone to protect them for a while. Of course, the most important thing was that Barett was in good condition, so he was not afraid of Barbossa making trouble. 

Hearing that Locke agreed to Barbossa's application to join the group, the other members were shocked and felt it was natural. After all, Locke's tolerance was still enormous. "Well, although I want to come to a banquet to welcome you to join the pirates, for the time being, forget it."

"Huhuhuhu, of course, I have prepared the retreating ship for you." Barbossa smiled indifferently and pointed to a luxurious merchant ship at the port. After looking at the luxurious merchant ship, Locke nodded and led the way to the ship.

After a period of rest, Locke recovered some of his strength. After everyone boarded the merchant ship, Locke let Enigi activate his ability and create an island cloud, floating the entire merchant ship. Not long later, with the support of Enel's ability, the merchant ship flew into the air and floated into the distance.

When they could no longer see Seven Water City, Locke and the others finally relaxed their tense nerves and fell to the deck. "Phew, it's finally over. I didn't expect to be able to escape death this time!" Aida took a deep breath and said with some emotion.

Although he did not fight against any monster, he was prepared to sacrifice himself. "That's right. I thought he would die this time!" Sagaki was also scared. Although he was ready to die, no one wanted to live.

Ember sat silently at the side, not saying a word. He quietly accepted Weisa's treatment. Weisa's body recovery ability was indeed a bit terrifying. He was clearly half-dead just now, but the wounds on his body had already scabbed in just a few minutes.

Weisa has something to do with that monster, Kaido. In the future, I can get the ability of the artificial animal-type fantasy beast species of Ponk Sade for him to eat. After this battle, Locke was fully aware of his combat strength.

Apart from him and Barett, he was ranked third in the team. That's right, even the recently joined Barbossa was less intense than him. Moreover, he was still young, and his strength had been increasing for a long time. He was destined to become Locke's right-hand man in the future.

If he were to eat the Illusion Beast Seed in the future, his future strength would not be much weaker than Kaido's. "Luhu, Locke, what do you plan to do next? Are you going to enter the new world directly, or will you stay dormant for a while?" he asked, his voice hoarse and his voice hoarse.

Barbossa walked over to Locke and sat down opposite him. He asked with a smile on his face. Locke lowered his head to think for a moment. "Right now, whether it is strength or power, we are lacking. Right now, we are not suited to enter the new world directly."

"Lu Hu, that's right. It seems like Locke, and your brain is still obvious," Barbossa praised with a smile. "Although the new world now looks extremely calm, this is a short time before the storm. Soon, the new world will erupt into a chaotic battle. The chaotic battle for the royal power and reading books..."

"That Golden Lion was ambitious after Locke - D. Jibak was killed. After so many years of development, he was impatient."

"So, for the new world, there is no need for us to get involved in this mess for the time being." Barbossa analyzed the situation of the new world and then looked straight at Locke. "If you have any suggestions, just say them." Locke knew that Barbossa must have some good suggestions for bringing up this topic.

"Locke, our pirate group is currently in the development period. Whether it is you, Barrett, Versa, Ira, or Ainphent, your strength has not reached its peak. You need to lay low and grow for some time." "I believe you, Locke. With your and Barett's potential, you only need two or three years. Then you can become one of the leading forces in this sea."

Barbossa said to Locke resolutely. "Then, what is your suggestion? Even if you want to go into hibernation and disappear for some time, you still need a location, right?" Locke did not deny what Barbossa said.

"Let's go to the West Sea! Compared to the other waters, the West Sea, controlled by the Mafia, is more suitable for hibernation." Barbossa said with a smile.

"The west blue is indeed a good place. Then it is decided to go to the west blue." When Locke heard Barbossa mention the west blue, he agreed. Moreover, when mentioning west blue, he had to say a man called the hero of west blue. "When the time comes, invite him to join the pirates. Bi is a perfect guy."
