Dodge Bullets

The war of the Grandline Road was endless.

In the vast forest of magic beasts at the foot of Mount Geta, a giant beast made of stone was constantly roaring. The considerable sound shocked countless beasts, and the terrifying momentum made countless beasts tremble.

Hahaha! This power is great! With my current strength, I can quickly destroy a city. Three years, Locke, wait for me. I will come to you immediately! That's right, this giant beast made of countless pieces of wood was formed by Barett using his fusion fruit ability.

After parting with Locke, it had been three years since he trained alone in the Forest of Beasts. In three years, Barett turned from a twelve-year-old kid to a fifteen-year-old boy. After three years of cultivation, he increased not only his age but also his strength.

He was called a monster and had completely turned into a powerful monster. The wooden giant flashed with a red light and quickly collapsed, completely turning into a pile of broken wood. Barett's figure also appeared from it.

At this time, Barett had explosive muscles all over his body. He looked highly muscular. His upper body was bare, and his forces were tied up. His originally slightly dark skin had become even darker. His long golden hair was scattered behind his back.

Barett landed on the ground and clenched his fists. He looked up at the sky and then roared. His sharp gaze exploded with a terrifying aura and blew away the surrounding trees, causing dust to fly into the sky.

After a long time, Barett stopped roaring and picked up the tattered clothes on the ground. He casually placed them on his shoulders and walked towards the exit of the forest with a maniacal smile on his face.

A fierce battle was taking place in Noya City. Hundreds and thousands of soldiers in different military uniforms waved their weapons and charged at the enemy. The entire battlefield was filled with the sounds of swords and guns.

Shouts and screams rang out across the battlefield. Locke wore a black military uniform, a pilot hat, and a black cloak. He stood in the rear, his long sword inserted into the ground, his hands supporting the hilt of his sword. He looked calmly at the soldiers fighting.

Countless corpses were lying around him. Some were in the same military uniform as him, and some were different. The same thing was that they had become entirely sacrifices for this war.

As if sensing something, Locke raised his head and looked toward Geta Mountain in the distance. "Are you here, Barett?"

Locke muttered in a low voice. He pulled out his sword and slowly raised it. The officer behind him saw Locke's actions and immediately put the long phone in his hand into his mouth, using all his strength to blow.

"Woo!"

The captain's voice completely suppressed the battlefield's chaotic sounds and transmitted them into the ears of every soldier who was fighting.

"Quick, quick, dodge! Captain Locke is about to activate his ability! Run!"

"Move! I don't want to die under Captain Locke's ability!"

"Run! That monster is about to attack!"

Both the soldiers on their side and the soldiers on the enemy side cried out in fear. They tried their best to attack the enemy, trying to repel the enemy so that they could escape from this battlefield.

Locke ignored the chaotic battlefield and calmly looked at the frightened soldiers. The long sword in his hand slowly filled with dense purple light. When Locke had destroyed the armory in Mount Geta by himself and returned to Douglas' camp after completing the mission, he had excitedly promoted Locke from a junior captain to a corpsman.

Then, in three years, he participated in countless wars and made innumerable contributions to Douglas, and then he became a captain of a hundred-man army. In three years, Locke grew from a ten-year-old kid to a thirteen-year-old teenager. Because he became an officer, the nutritious food went from 1.2 meters to 1.8 meters.

Apart from the growth of his age and height, after countless battles, Locke's strength had also undergone a tremendous change. His natural sense of smell could easily cover every corner of a large city, and he could easily sense the number of people in the town and their strength level.

Apart from his own Kenbunshoku Haki, Locke also used his own military merits to exchange for the cultivation method of Busoshoku Haki. After three years, he could reach the stage of being able to wrap and release.

Apart from the Conqueror's Haki, which couldn't be trained independently, his Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku Haki were already considered small achievements. Although they couldn't be compared to those experts, they were already considered powerful monsters in the endless war. And in these three years, Locke didn't only practice Haki.

He was still looking for sword masters in the army, constantly learning sword skills from them to strengthen the sword skills that he relied on to survive. At this time, Locke was very confident that in the entire war, no one could be stronger than him. Of course, the one that increased the most was Locke's devil fruit ability.

In these three years, Locke's terrifying devil fruit ability, gravity, left the most profound impression. If Locke were to participate in the battlefield, almost all of them would be turned into ruins, and corpses would litter the ground.

All the people killed by his ability had their internal organs and bones shattered and died miserably. Therefore, if they only saw Locke preparing to attack, whether it was the soldiers on their side or the enemy soldiers, they would all be terrified.

This was because every time Locke attacked, he would not care whether the other party was one of his own. "Gravity Blade.."

Seeing that the color of the sword in Locke's hand was getting thicker and thicker, the soldiers in the center of the battlefield became anxious.

"Get lost!"

"Go to hell! I don't want to be killed by that monster Locke!"

The soldiers roared in anger and fear and wanted to run away.

"Fierce tiger!"

"Buzz!"

As Locke's sword fell, a purple gravity shockwave immediately turned into a fierce tiger, roaring as it charged toward the center of the battlefield.

"Ah"

When the purple tiger pounced through the battlefield, the terrifying gravity directly covered the soldiers who had not arrived. Countless screams suddenly came to mind, and then their bodies twisted and shattered under the horizontal gravity. Fresh blood sprayed out from all over their bodies.

In just a moment, the entire battlefield that was affected wholly turned into a hell on earth, and no one survived. Locke calmly put away his long sword, slowly inserting the book into the sheath.

"Bang -"

The officer behind him trembled, his heart filled with incomparable fear. He looked at Locke's back as if he was looking at a cold and ruthless demon. Locke did not care about the officer's thoughts behind him and stepped forward to leave. "Right, Rhode, get the soldiers to kill the remaining enemy soldiers."

Locke's cold and ruthless words entered Rhode's ears, causing him to tremble. "Yes, Captain Locke." After saluting Locke, Rhode returned and conveyed his orders to the living soldiers. Locke lifted his foot and left the battlefield.

"This is the first step to destroying this country. Barett, it's been three years. The time is ripe." After saying this, Locke slowly pulled out the long sword. A purple halo continuously flew into the air. A few seconds later, a small fireball burning with flames fell extremely fast.

The speed of sound exceeded the speed of sound. The friction produced a terrifying temperature, causing the entire sky to become fiery red. Rhode looked up at the fireball that was getting closer and closer. His face was distorted entirely with fear.

"Locke! You demon! You will die a horrible death!" Perhaps in anger, Rhode roared at Locke in the distance.

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A roar resounded through the entire world. The corners of Locke's mouth curled slightly, and he didn't look back at the explosion behind him. The shockwave caused his clothes and cloak to sway wildly. "Demon, huh, maybe."
