One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 267

The battle between the Locke Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates ended after a brutal sea battle, with the Locke Pirates emerging victorious. This victory solidified the Locke Pirates’ position in the new era as the undisputed strongest crew.

They are now often referred to as the strongest crew in the world. Following this battle, Locke, their captain, earned the title of Pirate Emperor from the world. The only other crew on par with them is the Whitebeard Pirates, led by Whitebeard, who is hailed as the world’s strongest man.

In just one year since the dawn of the new era, Locke Pirates swiftly rose to prominence, becoming a symbol of power in the world of pirates. Their reputation attracted countless recruits, further bolstering their strength.

Their headquarters, Bakuhana Island, Grimms, is hosting an unprecedented grand celebration. The entire population of the island has joined in the festivities to commemorate the Locke Pirates’ victory. Meanwhile, in Grimms Prison, Katakur? sat cross-legged, calmly observing a man outside his cell.

“Katakur?, it’s been a month now. Have you reconsidered? I truly admire you,” said Rox, who sat cross-legged, propping up his chin with his right hand.

“Never mind, Locke. No matter what you say, I won’t agree to join your crew,” Katakur? replied flatly, rejecting Locke’s invitation again. Locke slowly got up and didn’t seem disappointed with Katakur?’s refusal.

“By the way, I have some news that might interest you,” Locke said before leaving. He turned around, looking back at Katakur? with a sly smile.

“Your siblings aren’t having an easy time at sea right now. I heard that one of your brothers, Opera, has already been taken out by your family’s enemies. Oh, and several others have met the same fate! Your family is large, and their names are hard to track.”

Katakur?, in response to Locke’s words, abruptly said, “Wait!” Just as Locke was about to leave the prison, Katakur? spoke. “Tell me, Locke, did you send someone to kill my siblings? Are you telling me all this to force me to join the Locke Pirates?”

Locke responded with a mocking smile, “Katakur?, do you think I’d do something so despicable for your sake? If I wanted to threaten you to join my crew with certain actions, I’d make it clear.”

“Don’t underestimate me, Katakur?.” With that, Locke walked out of the prison gate. Katakur? stared after him, gripping the prison door with his left hand. After a long silence, he finally released the door.

“Hey, guard over there, go tell your captain that I’ve agreed. However, I have one condition. After joining the Locke Pirates, I want them to protect my remaining siblings.” The guard listened to Katakur?’s words and immediately rushed to deliver the message to their captain.

He knew how much their captain admired Katakur?. Soon, the guard found Locke and relayed Katakur?’s words. Locke chuckled upon hearing the message. “Go ahead and release him. Also, tell him that now that he’s part of the Locke Pirates, he can carry my name to protect and eliminate anyone he wants.”

The guard conveyed Locke’s message to Katakur?, who remained silent. “Very well, it seems we owe Captain Locke a considerable favor. Although he was responsible for killing our mother and decimating the Charlotte family, I have to admit he’s a generous man.”

“Let’s go and get revenge on those pirates who killed our siblings. Once we’ve settled that score, we’ll decide whether to stay or leave,” Katakur? addressed his brothers and sisters.

Finally, Katakur? tightened his scarf and stepped onto a warship bearing the Rox Pirates’ flag anchored at the pier. “Oh, I’ve already agreed to Locke’s invitation and joined his crew.

After helping our brothers and sisters get their revenge, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to stay or leave,” Katakur? informed his siblings. With that, they embarked on their new journey.
