The things on the letter are recorded here, and as for the rest of the matter, whether Whitebeard and their battle were successful, or whether they took Mary Joy, these Locke don't know, after all, judging from the dust in this room and his already hungry stomach, it is obvious that they have been gone for a while.

They left this time to help Whitebeard attack Mary Joya, after all, the battle has been fought here, and they are not far away, and when they find out that the battle has begun, of course they will go to support, so of course they will not write about the rest of the matter in the letters left here.

Of course, there is also some information left by Emperor Xia in the letter, that is, the formation he helped Locke refine the fruit ability has been completely arranged, thinking that this process will last for more than ten days, after Locke wakes up, almost the fruit ability in his body has been refined, and he only needs to eat this soul fruit, and Locke will get the ability to control the soul.

So after reading this, Locke put the letter aside, and then picked up the Devil Fruit that had been put aside by himself before, and then without too much hesitation, he directly pinched his nose and swallowed the Devil Fruit whole.

This is not because Locke fully trusts Emperor Xia, it's just that after refining the ability of the Phantom Fruit, Locke has some understanding of the Devil Fruit, and he also knows that Emperor Xia didn't lie to him at the beginning.

Of course, the reason why he swallowed the whole Devil Fruit was of course for other reasons, after all, the taste of the Devil Fruit had been taught by Locke once before, and he also knew that if he wanted to obtain the ability of the Devil Fruit, he only needed to eat one bite.

The reason why he swallowed it all in one bite is, of course, there is Locke's own reason, after all, a person like Locke who has been starved directly for more than ten days, because of his strength, did not starve to death, but hunger is certain, so a person who has been hungry for more than ten days, after seeing the food, even if the food is very unpalatable, but there is no poison or anything, of course it is eaten directly.

So Locke didn't have anything to hesitate about, of course, in order to avoid disgusting himself for too long, so Locke chose to bite the peel directly and gently, and then swallowed the whole devil fruit directly.

The powerful ability of the devil fruit, as well as the disgusting taste, is really as legendary, after Locke ate the whole pill and swallowed it, the smell like poop directly filled his chest, if it weren't for the polarization of the entrance of this fruit, there was really nothing to vomit in Locke's body, maybe Locke would have spit it out directly.

And the ability of the fruit did not make Locke wait too long, just a retching time, Locke felt it, the fruit materialized into the depths of his soul, and was entangled with Locke's soul without hindrance.

Then Locke felt that his soul had been sublimated, and at the same time, the whole world had become different in his eyes, and all kinds of voices rushed out of his mind at once, and he actually heard their voices through the souls of all things for a while.

At the same time, he also saw the ubiquitous soul energy in the air, as if he could use it casually to form a new unconscious soul as long as he beckoned, and manipulate them at the same time.

However, at this time, Locke did not feel his newly acquired ability, but only felt the way to use the ability slightly, and then directly flashed out of the house, and then entered the forest, looking for food.

After all, a person who has been hungry for more than ten days, how can such a small devil fruit be, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there was only one food at his hand at that time, and at the same time he had to eat him no matter what, Locke didn't think he would have looked at him.

By the time Locke reappeared, he had reached the edge of the island, and there was a leg of meat that had just been roasted and was dripping oil downward.

"Looks like it's time to go and see how far the fight goes!"

After eating the last bite of meat in his hand, he threw away the bones in his hand, and then muttered a word, and flashed directly out of the island.

......

That is, when Locke stepped out of the island, the battle on the sea had entered a white-hot stage, and due to the timely attack of Whitebeard and others, although it did not defeat Mary Joy at once, but directly on the sea surface.

However, because of the stalemate, the Scarlet Legion had to mobilize high-end combat power to defend the situation here, leaving only some people with lower combat power to take charge of the affairs of the four seas.

But in addition to the East China Sea accident, the other three have three major generals in charge, and the Scarlet Legion without top combat power has basically not achieved any effective Warring States.

On this side of the East China Sea, although the navy does not have any high-end combat power, after all, this side has been cleaned up by the navy many times, and the basic inner wall has been cleaned up, and it is impossible for too many people to join the Scarlet Legion, so the resistance here is basically people with restraint formations engraved on their bodies, and half of the lieutenant admiral-level generals of the navy have been sent to the East China Sea, so the progress on this side has also been directly stopped.

So for a while, no matter which side of the four seas was, there was no progress to be made, which also made the Scarlet Legion understand that it was impossible to directly occupy the four seas with an unrivaled invasion and directly isolate the new world as they thought before, so they simply directly withdrew the strength of the four seas, and then focused all their attention on the New World Resistance.

And for these whitebeards, of course, they got the news as soon as possible, but now they can only stalemate with Mary Joy's side.

Because when they were attacking with all their might, the Scarlet Legion was not without protection, that is, the twenty-four cities that Jones brought to this world directly formed a huge formation, directly protecting Mary Joya in it.

If it weren't for the critical time, Emperor Xia arrived with the people of the Phantom Pirates and used his spatial ability to open the channel for attack, maybe there would be no stalemate at all at this time.

However, although it was a stalemate, the attack of the Scarlet Legion did not stop at all, and when there was a stalemate, because of the fear that the Xia Emperor's space fruit would steal the house, the top combat power of the Scarlet Legion could only stay inside and defend all the time.

But this doesn't mean that the Scarlet Legion has nothing to do, and when they found that they couldn't use high-end combat power on their side, they directly started the tactics they were good at, that is, skeleton tactics.

So when Locke came to the front line, what he saw was that the endless sea of skeletons was constantly moving towards a large position formed by hundreds of ships.
