Of course, Locke also knew what Emperor Xia said, after all, when he asked Locke to eat the soul fruit before, Emperor Xia had already told him about his plan.

That is to let Locke obtain the soul fruit, and then use the soul fruit to find the soul of the strong man who has been floating in this world since ancient times, and then use the phantom fruit of Locke himself to make a body for them, so that it can be regarded as another kind of resurrection of the other party.

As for why there is such a plan, it is of course because, on the surface, it seems that Whitebeard and the Scarlet Legion seem to be on par in terms of high-end combat power, otherwise there would not be such a stalemate as now.

But this is just on the surface, after all, the blood energy of the Scarlet Legion is really a bit perverted, not only can provide the user with the effect of immortality, but also can improve a certain strength, which makes those who are only one step away from the strong have broken through to become a level that they could not break through before.

In addition to the original immortal special effects, although the strong people who appear in this way are weaker in terms of battle experience, some people who are promoted by their own will are weaker, but when they fight, they are often stronger than those who have been promoted by themselves. And it has only been less than half a month since the official start of the war, and although the Scarlet Legion has adjusted its strategy in time during this period, a large part of the strong people who have been scattered to attack the four seas at the beginning have not rushed here.

Therefore, the current stalemate can only be maintained until all the strong men of the other party come back, and then the stalemate will naturally be broken, after all, the top combat power of Whitebeard and Xia Huang's side is a little unable to keep up with the other side, although they have also found a lot of old antiques from the sea to participate in the war, but they are still not comparable to the other party.

For such a situation, Emperor Xia and the Warring States have long had a way to deal with it, that is, the soul fruit that Locke eats, as long as Locke's side succeeds in recalling the souls floating in the world, then the strength of their side will be improved a lot, and even if all the strong people on the other side's side come back, Locke and their side will also have the strength to fight, so that they will not be pressed and beaten by the other party.

After all, in this world, personal combat power plays an absolute role in large-scale battles, after all, only when the strength reaches a certain level, not a large number of people can achieve victory, and can only slowly consume the opponent's physical strength, until the opponent's physical strength is exhausted can he reluctantly defeat the opponent.

So from the point of view of Emperor Xia's plan, it is very important, even if they have continuous support on their side, but it is still incomparable with the growth of the other party's explosive form, and their side does not have any advantage in terms of numbers, and even a very disadvantage.

In this case, if the number of their strong men is less than that of the other party, then there is no need to fight this battle, after all, there is no point in fighting a defeated battle, and it is not better to directly ask Locke to contact the world consciousness, and it is not better to leave this world to preserve combat power.

Soon with the arrival of Locke, a high altar was soon built on top of the ship in the middle of the chase, and on the altar, Emperor Xia took out a lot of materials that were very precious at first glance and fused them together, and began to carve the formation.

This formation is just a formation that enhances the ability of its own fruit.,And there's no other effect.,It's impossible to use such a thing in the battle.,After all, the battle is always on the move.,If you stand in one place and don't move.,Isn't it a target.,In addition to this formation, it doesn't distinguish between the enemy and me.,As long as you enter the formation, it will be strengthened.,Isn't this also a strengthening baff for the enemy.,This situation hasn't become the same as at the beginning.。

Therefore, after this formation was created by Emperor Xia, it was thrown into the corner like garbage, and he didn't pay attention to it, and even he didn't expect that he would be able to use it one day.

As Locke appeared at the height of the altar's mouth, Emperor Xia also activated the formation, and then saw Locke standing at the top open his arms, then closed his eyes, and began to search for the souls of those strong men who disappeared with full ability.

It was at this time that clouds began to appear in the originally clear sky, and the sea breeze on the sea also became violent at this time.

......

Even when Locke began to search for the forgotten soul, there was no other action on the side of the Scarlet Legion.

After all, more than ten days have passed, and when the people of the Scarlet Legion rushed back completely desperately, those who should have come back have basically returned.

So at this time, Jones was arranging the next plan for them, while Hank was on the side, eating the food that he didn't know where to find, just looking at the food dripping red liquid downward, which looked very scary.

It was at this time that the originally clear sky of the room plane suddenly darkened, and at the same time, the luck in the sky converged towards a place in the new world.

And the place where they converged was where the beardless ones were, and Jones only sensed it a little and immediately discovered it.

At the same time, he also felt a trace of soul breath in the sea breeze that suddenly became bigger around him, although he didn't know what the other party was going to do, but it must be related to dealing with them.

Since he wanted to deal with them, of course he couldn't let the other party succeed, so at this time, Jones was also very decisive, and he didn't say anything, just an order, all the strong men of the Scarlet Legion attacked, and at the same time, the huge formation composed of twenty-four cities also rose directly from the ground in his wave, and then wrapped Mary Joya and flew towards where Whitebeard and them were.

The deadlock that had been maintained before was directly broken at this moment, and the final decisive battle between the two forces began directly.

And Hank, who was eating not far behind Jones, stood up directly when Jones was preparing for the final battle, and then walked directly to the edge of Mary Joya alone, ready to meet his old friend who he hadn't seen for more than 3,000 years.

The movement here is so big, of course, it is impossible to hide it from the Xia Huang and the others who have been paying attention to this side, so when they first started to move here, Xia Huang and the others found out.

At the same time, after seeing those twenty-five cities flying in the air, I also knew that the moment of the final decisive battle began, but Locke on their side had just begun to gather the souls of the dead, and it would take a while for those souls to appear here completely.

It's just that this time is not the time to wait for Locke, after all, the initiative of this battle has always been in the hands of the other party, and since the other party has begun a full-scale general attack, of course they can't do nothing.

So after glancing at Locke, who was standing on top of the altar, everyone around the altar moved and left the place, leaving only a white-bearded old man to stay here.
