One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 271

New World, Grims, Hundred Flowers Castle.

The highly enthusiastic banquet is coming to an end. Locke stands up slowly and takes the highest position, looking at the comrades who originally joined the Rox Pirates in the banquet hall. His eyes are filled with nostalgia.

After a while, under the gaze of his comrades, her finally speaks. “Comrades, unconsciously, our pirate crew has been established for ten years.”

“In these ten years, we’ve grown from young to middle-aged and old men. We’ve gone from having nothing to having everything we could want.”

“During these ten years, we’ve experienced countless battles together, step by step, becoming the most renowned pirate crew on this great sea.”

“But this is not our final destination.” At this point, Rox pauses briefly and takes a deep breath. “Comrades, the Locke Pirates won’t stop. We’re determined to become the world’s most powerful pirate crew! Our goal is nothing less than the entire world.”

“So, comrades, a new war begins! Before we conquer the world, let’s dominate the New World and become its rulers.”

“Hahaha! Is it finally starting? Locke! I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.” Barret bursts into laughter, looking extremely excited. He has been looking forward to this day for a very long time.

“Hehe, is it finally this day? Can we finally have a good time wreaking havoc as we please?” Eirida twists her neck, her expression flashing with a dangerous gleam.

“Hehehe, leave it to us, Captain Locke. We’ll help you become the new king of this world.” Moria stretches his arms and laughs recklessly.

“Hahaha! Locke, it’s finally starting! I’ve been waiting for a long time!” Zazuki laughs heartily, full of excitement. His ambitions are finally about to be realized with Locke. Jin and Visa sit in the central seat with their hands folded.

Although they don’t say much, the excitement in their eyes is evident. The whole banquet hall is filled with excited laughter and conversations. Ruth proudly looks at Rox’s side, holding his arm. This man in front of her is becoming more and more charming and dominant.

When the banquet hall quiets again, Locke directly assigns the remaining tasks and ends the banquet. After receiving their tasks, everyone excitedly leaves the banquet hall and hurries back to their pirate ships at the port.

They quickly gathered their crew members and set sail, heading for their base. They need to make thorough preparations and then launch a war against the entire New World.

Locke stands on the highest building on Grims Island, watching his comrades leave one by one, feeling somewhat melancholy. Locke has been planning this operation for a long time.

Now, the Locke Pirates have reached their peak, and all their core members are at their peak as well. Except for Barret, Locke, Enel, Eirida, Moria, and others in their twenties or thirties, most core members are in their forties or approaching fifty.

Locke can afford to wait, but others cannot wait for ten to twenty years. “Locke, I want to participate in this war,” Ruth says to Rox with a severe expression. Having consumed a Devil Fruit, Ruth no longer wants to stay behind and enjoy a peaceful life. She wants to contribute to Locke’s dream.

Locke looks at Ruth and nods, agreeing to her request. “Good, if you want to go, create some chaos.” Locke embraces Ruth and runs his fingers through her purple hair. “Don’t worry, Locke, I’m strong now.” Ruth raises her head and looks at Locke with a severe expression.

“I know.”

“Hmph! I’m leaving now. I need to gather some crew members of my own.” After saying that, Ruth leaves Locke’s embrace and the tower, and Rox watches her as she gets farther away, a hint of unknown radiance in his eyes.

After a while, he chuckles and turns to jump off the tower. As the Locke Pirates set their plan in motion, three days have passed. The entire New World senses an approaching storm in the otherwise calm seas.

The entire New World feels incredibly oppressive. All the pirates in the New World inexplicably feel restless. Wano Country, Onigashima. “Kaido, boss, it seems like something significant is about to happen in the New World recently. Shouldn’t we make some preparations?” Azubu looks at Kaido with a severe expression and asks.

“Hehehe, Azubu, why are you worried? We’re the Beasts Pirates, one of the strongest pirate crews in the New World, and we’re in Wano Country. What’s there to be afraid of?” Noitlala comments seem somewhat mocking.

“Hmph, Noitlala , stop with the sarcastic remarks. The New World is on the verge of a significant change. We should prepare for anything to avoid any mishaps.” Grimjo says, looking disdainful.

“Enough, you guys. Be quiet.” Kaido finally speaks up.

“Inform all our pirates to prepare for war. Also, tell that snake to mobilize all the samurai. We’re getting ready for war!”

“Yes, Boss Kaido!” As Kaido gives the order, the entire Beasts Pirates and Wano Country prepare for war. Similarly, the Whitebeard Pirates are also preparing for the unexpected changes in the New World. Even Whitebeard, despite his confidence, won’t take things lightly.
“Dad, what’s happening? Why does it suddenly feel like the New World is about to change drastically?” Marco asks Whitebeard, full of curiosity.

“Gurulala, Marco, get ready. The final battle for supremacy is about to begin.” Whitebeard answers with a smile, his eyes filled with seriousness. As all the pirates in the New World prepare for the upcoming changes, a massive red dragon-headed ship docks at the port of Grims Island.

“We’ve finally arrived at Grims Island, and it’s quite a nice island.” Shanks steps onto the land of Grims Island with his bright red long hair. His companions stand behind him, each with a different expression, surveying the scenery of the port.
