Rocks, The Overlord Who Took Possession Of His Body Forty Years Ago

One week after the Enies Lobby incident.

Grand Line, floating islands.

The palace greenhouse swimming pool built by Golden Lion Shiki.

"As expected of Captain Rocks, I haven't seen you for forty years, and you are much stronger than before. If you continue like this, Captain, you might even be able to overcome Devil Fruit's only weakness." A man in a wide golden kimono Shiki clapped his hands and exclaimed.

When the palace was first built, Shiki built this swimming pool, but over the years, he never swam in it.

After all, he is also a Demon fruit power, cursed by the sea to forever be a landlubber.

However, today, he witnessed the birth of a miracle.

Locke, who is also a Demon fruit power, can swim back and forth in the swimming pool without changing his expression, as if he is not affected by the curse at all.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Golden Lion Shiki couldn't help but think of the meaningful words Locke said a week ago.

The true meaning of Devil Fruit's abilities! The essence of the devil!

After understanding these two points, you can come back to life and return to your youthful state even after being dead for forty years. In comparison, you can overcome the curse of sea water, which is no big deal.

Thinking of this, Golden Lion nodded secretly and looked at Locke with even more reverence.

Locke didn't know about the messy thoughts in Golden Lion Shiki's heart. He went straight to the shore, took a bath towel, wiped it casually, and lay down on a beach chair nearby to sunbathe.

His resurrection is the result of the system and has nothing to do with the devil or anything.

As for the curse on Demon Fruit Power, which still exists, it has not been overcome as Golden Lion imagined.

It's just that Locke is very, very strong now, with endless physical strength, and the water in a small swimming pool is not enough to take away his strength.

"Captain, the red hair had contact with the old man Whitebeard a few days ago. The news has only come out now. The Marine guys are too timid." Shiki handed Locke a freshly minted newspaper.

"Red-haired and Whitebeard have already met. It seems that the battle on Banaro Island will last only these two days and is finally about to begin." Locke said.

"Banaro Island? Where is that place? What's going to start?" Shiki asked in confusion.

"Big event." Locke said casually, without revealing too much future information to Golden Lion.

"A big event is about to begin?" Golden Lion Shiki murmured, confused. He found that he could no longer keep up with Locke's rhythm.

"Shiki, that electric shock boy is still alive," Locke said.

"Hey, I've been paying attention to it. Although he is very weak, that kid's vitality is really strong." Golden Lion said.

"Let him out, and prepare some food and drink. I'll set off tomorrow," Locke said.

Although the life on Golden Lion's floating Sky Island is very leisurely, and he enjoys the company of Robin and Kalifa, Locke will not be satisfied just yet.

There are more exciting and beautiful things waiting for him in the sea below.

In the Banaro Island incident, Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, clashed with the Blackbeard Pirates. Ace was arrested and used as an exchange for Blackbeard's Shichibukai, which triggered a battle on the top that would later affect the whole world.

There will be the stage where Locke officially announces his return to the world.

There is still at least a month before the Summit War starts, and Locke has to start preparing to make trouble.

The Four Emperors, Marine, and Shichibukai are known as the three major forces in the world, maintaining the delicate balance of the world.

Now that Sand Crocodile and Heavenly Yaksha in Shichibukai have left one after another, there are still five people left, excluding the sea hero Jinbei who is about to be imprisoned, the world's greatest swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk, the pirate empress Boa Hancock, Tyrant Bear and Gekko Moria.

As time permits, Locke plans to 'visit' each one.

After making some plans in his mind, Locke stood up, put on his dragon scale armor windbreaker, and walked towards Robin and Kalifa's room.

On the warm tatami, Kalifa with bright blond hair was sleeping quietly, breathing lightly.

After thinking about it, Locke didn't wake her up and gave her a day off.

After all, it was a bit tiring for Kalifa to bear Locke's demands alone during the week here.

In the adjacent room, the black-haired Robin was also sleeping peacefully. She had not seen the sun for many days, which made her skin fairer.

This week, Robin was also very tired, but it was not because of Locke, but because she stayed in the basement day and night studying historical articles.

If Locke hadn't forcibly taken her out to rest, she might still be researching in the dark underground.

"Have a good rest." Locke whispered.

…

On the afternoon of the next day, after a grand farewell ceremony, the golden spaceship Ark Proverbs slowly took off and flew away from this floating Sky Island.

A week later, Locke took Robin, Kalifa and Enel on the Ark to a sea area shrouded in thick fog all year round.

This is the Devil's Triangle.

From a distance, looking down from a high altitude, the endless blue sea seems to be divided into two worlds by black lines out of thin air.

There was a clear blue sky outside, but there was fog and darkness inside.

The evil reputation of the Devil's Triangle has existed even before Shichibukai Gekko Moria took root in this sea area with his huge island ship.

From ancient times to the present, at least one hundred ships have disappeared inexplicably into this thick fog every year, becoming ghost ships drifting with the tide.

So far, no one knows what is going on.

The notorious reputation of the Devil's Triangle was never created by Moria.

Since ancient times, there has been a mysterious existence unknown to the world in this fog-shrouded sea.

"Ship... Captain, do you need to raise the altitude to avoid this sea area?" Enel asked tremblingly.

Those days in the floating Sky Island water prison completely polished off Enel's outstanding features.

"No need, go straight through." Locke ordered.

"Yes" Enel nodded and accepted the order.

The golden flying boat made a churning sound and plunged into the sea shrouded in mist.
