Encounter Pirates

Grandtrade Road

At the foot of Mount Geta, the Endless War, Locke and Barett rested in the forest for a night. "Barett now is not the time. Our strength is still too weak." Locke and Barett slowly moved through the forest, looking for an exit to leave the forest.

"Hmm, how long do we have to wait?" Barett casually pulled the thorns before him and turned to look at Locke.

"When we are completely familiar with the power of the devil fruit and become stronger, we will destroy this country."

Locke said firmly. He had absolute trust in his and Barett's talent. After all, in the original work, Barett was a monster that could match the Four Emperors in the later stages. This showed how terrifying Barett's talent was.

When it came to himself, although he was only ten years old, his strength was on par with the current Barett. His swordsmanship and Barett's physical skills were more muscular, so the two fought each other several times.

However, he had been in the army longer than Barett, so he had more experience in battle and battle than Barett. Therefore, Locke had a higher chance of winning when the two fought.

After listening to Locke's words, Barett punched the giant tree in front of him impatiently, and the loud noise scared away countless birds resting in the treetops.

"How long do I have to wait? Locke, I have had enough of the constant war and watched the little ghosts die before me!" Barett's angry roar resounded through the forest. Locke looked calmly at the angry Barett.

"Soon, Barett. In five years at most, we can destroy this country. I believe that after five years, our strength will be even stronger. We will be strong enough to destroy this country."

Listening to Locke's firm words, Barett slowly restrained his irritable mood. "Let's go, Barett. It's time to complete our mission." Then, without waiting for Barett to speak, he took the lead and walked forward. Barett followed silently behind Locke.

"Locke!"

After a long time, Barett shouted, causing Locke to stop and turn to look at Barett slowly.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to be separated from you for a while."

"."

After a long silence, Locke seemed to understand something.

"Then you should train your strength here and enrich your combat experience. I will complete the mission alone." After saying this, Locke did not stay any longer. He directly stepped out of the forest and disappeared from Barett's sight.

"See you five years later, Locke!" Barett shouted from behind him, and the corners of Locke's mouth curved slightly.

"Hmph! Five years later, I hope you can give me a surprise."

Three days later, Locke returned to the foot of Mount Geta and looked up at the mountain in front of him.

"I came back again."

These words silently flashed through his mind, and Locke stepped on the road up the mountain: Mount Geta, military camp.

"Wu, it's boring. Every Tiandu is standing guard here. It's so boring. By the way, which idiot would come here to attack?"

A soldier in charge of guarding the mountain road yawned and said, "Yes, there are a thousand guards here. How could idiots be coming to attack? I don't know what the general is afraid of."

Another soldier replied listlessly. Right at this moment, Locke slowly appeared in front of them. "Hey! Little brat over there! This is a military place. Don't go any further. Otherwise, I won't be polite." Seeing Locke slowly walk towards him, the soldier immediately issued a warning.

"Gravity Knife, Fierce Tiger!"

"Rumble!"

A horizontal gravity suddenly erupted, instantly destroying the sentry post. The two soldiers immediately lost their lives under the terrifying twisting gravity. The loud sound resounded throughout the entire mountain peak, quickly drawing the attention of everyone in the military camp.

"Ding..."

"Enemy attack! Everyone, prepare to fight!" The entire camp was in a state of chaos. No one would have thought that someone would attack a camp that was easy to defend and hard to attack without fear of death.

Just as the soldiers were searching for their weapons in confusion, Locke had already passed through the sentry post and walked out of the smoke and dust.

When all the soldiers saw Locke wearing a tattered military uniform, a military hat, and a longsword in his hand, they immediately laughed when they saw his thin body, short stature, and tender face.

"Hey, hey. Isn't this cannon fodder soldier of the GF legion? Just you alone. Are you here to die?"

"Hahaha, little brat, this is not a place for you to come. You should go home and drink milk!"

The soldiers were no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning. They stopped searching for weapons and mocked loudly. They did not think that a little brat could do anything. Locke listened to the mocking laughter of the soldiers, and his calm face did not change.

"Is your general not here?" Locke asked in a calm tone. Hearing Locke's question, the soldiers laughed even more viciously.

"Hey, kid, the general is not someone you can see just because you want to. Go home and drink milk!"

"Cut the crap. Go and kill him quickly! I still have something important to do. The woman I caught a few days ago still awaits me!"

"Hey, continue reading our card game! You are not allowed to run away after winning the money!" Completely ignoring Locke, the soldiers prepared to continue what they had just done.

"What a bunch of undisciplined and undisciplined soldiers. I feel sorry for your country!" Locke said in a low voice and drew a sword in his hand. Suddenly, a purple light flashed around his body.

The soldiers looked at Locke's actions without any defense, still minding their business. After all, in their images, young soldiers like Locke were almost all cannon fodder.

However, he had yet to think about how Locke could come here alone and where the loud explosion had come from.

"Gravity Blade, Ten Thousand Appearances Sky Guidance!"

The purple light spread out and quickly covered hundreds of meters around Locke. As the purple light covered the entire ground, the whole earth shook. Countless stones floated up from the ground and flew toward the sky. Finally, the soldiers discovered that something was wrong and panicked.

"What, what is that!"

"What happened? What did that little brat do!"

"How could the stone fly into the sky! This is impossible!"

The soldiers screamed in panic. The entire camp was in chaos once again.

Locke looked coldly at the chaotic military camp. There were no waves in his heart.

"Gravity Blade, Stone Rain!"

Buzz!

As the sword in Locke's hand fell, countless rocks in the air suddenly fell from the sky at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye. They attacked the camp below without missing anything else.
