Melee

At the foot of the Cloud Palace, Locke looked down at the kneeling priest and asked calmly. The priest's face was pale, and he looked up at Locke weakly. Although Locke was expressionless then, he did not have the violent momentum from before. He looked like a handsome young man.

However, thinking back to Locke's violent momentum, the priest was even more afraid. "G-Lord G-Lord G-has already left Bika an hour ago. I-I don't know where he is now either." The priest's voice was trembling as he answered Locke's words intermittently. Locke was not surprised to hear the priest's words.

After all, the palace was above the clouds in the sky. If one wasn't blind, one could see the turmoil in the town. "Then take me to the palace and gather all the soldiers and residents. I have a task for you. If you complete my task, you can all live." Locke said flatly, deciding the life and death of all the people on Sky Island.

Hearing Locke's words, the priest stood trembling and took Locke and the others to the palace. As for leading all the soldiers and residents to resist and protect the palace? She didn't care if they were dead or alive, so who would risk their lives to protect his palace?

Under the lead of the priest, Locke and the others walked through a road made of clouds and finally arrived at the palace of the Bika god. Looking at the gold palace that emitted a golden light in front of them, Ireya and Sasaki opened their mouths wide.

"This is surprising. To use gold to build such a large palace. It is extravagant!" Aceday exclaimed. This was the first time Aceday had seen such a luxurious palace. "Kekeke, if we were to melt the Golden City Castle in front of us, how much would we need to exchange for Bailey?" Sasaki grinned.

"Hey, Sasaki, wouldn't it be a pity if such a palace melted?"

Barett looked at the Golden City Castle palace before him and was surprised. After going out to sea for so long, it was the first time he had seen such a castle made entirely of gold.

"It seems that Bika had been to Aludo and obtained the gold there. That's why there are so many palaces made of gold."

Locke was also a little emotional. After all, the visual effect of this palace made of pure gold was indeed full.

"No, that's right, my lord. This, the God indeed obtained this castle sent people to Alustriel." The priest said to Locke and the others with great respect. Looking at the palace before them, even the priest who often worked here expressed that he was once shocked. After all, no one disliked gold, didn't they?

"Alright, go and gather all the remaining soldiers in the palace. I'm going to give you a mission." Locke waved his hand at the priest and asked him to do something. The priest bowed respectfully to Locke and the others and then decisively retreated to gather all the soldiers.

Locke led Barett and the others directly into the castle without paying attention to the priest who had left. Everyone was amazed to see that the castle was full of gold-made artefacts.

They praised the luxury of God initially being a blue card.

"This golden vase is alright. The pattern is lovely."

"Ha ha ha, look, this golden armour is perfect!" Zuo Zuomu got a golden armour from somewhere and put it on. The golden armour looked very flashy. They walked through the golden corridor and finally arrived at the throne.

They looked at the golden throne that emitted a golden light.

A few of them were speechless at the extravagant God. "What a luxurious god." Locke glanced at the luxurious throne and no longer paid attention to it. Then, he walked directly to the throne and sat cross-legged.

Barett and the others burst into laughter when they saw the insincere Locke. "Hey, Captain Locke, how does making this luxurious golden throne feel?" Aluda teased Locke. He was curious as he looked at Locke sitting cross-legged on the throne with a calm expression.

"Haha, this throne suits Boss Locke. After all, Boss Locke is the future king of the world!" Sagaki grinned and looked at Locke, who was sitting on the throne. He was excited and said, "Although it looks luxurious and exaggerated, it is a good match for you." Barett also smiled and looked at Locke sitting cross-legged on the throne.

"Well, of course. However, this exquisite and luxurious throne is unsuitable for our pirates." Saying this, Locke sat up from the throne and directly activated his ability, squeezing the entire throne into a golden ball.

"After all, in my pirate group, we are partners." Hearing Locke's words, Barett and others felt proud in their hearts. "Yes, this is the man we want to follow. We recognize the captain." These words flashed through their minds at the same time. After a while, the priest finally brought all the remaining soldiers to the throne.

"Lord Locke, the remaining palace soldiers have all been brought. Please instruct us, Lord Locke." The priest half-knelt on the ground respectfully and reported to Locke. Locke sat cross-legged on the ground above. Barett, Aluzomu, and the others stood behind Locke and looked at the priests and soldiers below.

"Is that so?" Locke responded calmly and took a small golden box from his pocket. Locke opened the small golden box and took out the fruits inside. "Your mission is to search for fruits like this on this island. If you find them and send them to me, everyone on this island can live."

Locke said calmly to everyone below. Everyone who heard Locke's words looked up at the devil fruit in Locke's hand, reflecting his image deeply into their minds. "No matter your method, I only want to see the result. I will give you one day. If you don't hand it over to me within one day, this island and you will be worthless."

After saying that, Locke put away the devil's fruit in the light and stopped talking. Seeing that Locke had finished his words, the priest immediately retreated and left the throne with all the soldiers. There was only one day, which was undoubtedly very urgent for them.

The priest who left the throne immediately ordered the soldiers "Everyone, immediately go and find the fruit that Lord Locke needs. No matter your method, you must bring it here in a day." Go to the town and mobilize all the residents to find it!

"Yes!" After receiving the order, all the soldiers quickly left and mobilized the residents on the island to find the fruit. Among the divine pieces, Locke and the others sat together."Oh, Captain Locke, what ability is the devil fruit you asked them to find? It makes you work so hard to find it?"Alu asked curiously.

"Yes, Boss Locke, what is a mighty fruit?" Sasaki was also very curious. After all, if it were a weak ability, Locke would not have made such a big fuss.

"Well, it is indeed a rich devil fruit. Reading is a thunder fruit of nature." Locke nodded and answered the questions of Sasaki and Aluda.

"Thunder fruit? That legendary devil fruit that is invincible even in the natural system? It is actually on the empty island!" When he heard Locke's answer, Irania suddenly exclaimed. After all, he had been a pirate for some time in the sea, so he had some understanding of the devil fruit.

The name of the thunder fruit was like thunder in his ears.

Although he had never seen it before, he knew how powerful it was. No matter who it was, if he ate the Thunder Fruit, he could become a big shot in a region and run amuck in the first half of the Grandline Road.

After all, the natural system's ability was legendary and even invincible in the biological system. Ireya suddenly regretted eating the fruit of impact. "Yes, I also got the news that the Thunder Fruit was accidentally in the Blue Card. But I don't know if it is true, so it is pure luck this time."

Locke agreed with Irania's words. He needed to find out if the Thunder-shocking Fruit was not in the Phoebe card and had been found and eaten by Enigi. However, Locke would not have thought that at this time, a youth with pale skin and unique earlobes was holding a blue fruit carved with lightning patterns in his hands, his eyes flashing with madness and surprise.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, I found it! Ha, ha, ha! Bastard! I found it! With him, I have a chance to meet that Qinghai person and then ask him to let me join him and destroy the entire Bika! Ha, ha, ha!

The youth looked at the devil fruit in his hands, tears continuously pouring out, but he raised his head and looked at the sky with a wild laugh.
