----------
The steps below the castle.
Daichi looked down from above, his cold gaze fixed on Hajrudin.
"Are you afraid of Loki?"
Hajrudin's body trembled as memories of Loki flashed through his mind, cold sweat continuously breaking out on his forehead.
He was Loki's half-brother.
From childhood, he had always lived in Loki's shadow. Loki, with his Ancient Giant bloodline, was superior to him in every aspect and took pleasure in bullying him.
He hated Loki.
"My body."
Hajrudin raised his palm, looking at his slightly trembling hand, his breathing becoming rapid. He knew what that meant.
Fear!
Daichi stared coldly at Hajrudin, his command unshakeable. "Hajrudin, look me in the eyes, then answer my question!"
"I..."
Hajrudin looked up at Daichi, whose cold and ruthless eyes seemed ready to kill him at any moment.
His breathing grew more rapid.
Hajrudin's gaze struggled. His honor as a warrior made him unwilling to deny himself, unwilling to maintain his self-respect through lies.
Hajrudin roared!
"I'm afraid of Loki!!!"
"Isn't that good?"
Daichi smiled.
Fear is not shameful. Everyone has something they fear, and he is no exception. He feared losing the property he had painstakingly accumulated.
But losing property can be rebuilt!
"Hajrudin, only those who can face their inner fears can become true powerhouses. Powerhouses possess not only innate strength but also an indestructible, powerful will!"
Daichi shot out, instantly appearing before Hajrudin's face. His astonishing burst of speed left Hajrudin no time to react.
Right fist charged!
Hajrudin's pupils dilated.
Daichi's face was like a demon's. "Hajrudin, you will witness the outcome of this war at the end of the battlefield with your own eyes!"
"Magma Punch!"
The fist slammed into Hajrudin's forehead, emitting a scorching orange-red glow. An impact like a volcanic eruption followed, sending Hajrudin's body flying!
"!!!"
A circular airwave exploded in the air. Hajrudin, at the center, flew out like a meteor, soaring across the battlefield towards its end!
"Boom!!!"
At the Western Village Port, sea clouds like foam shot into the sky!
Daichi landed below the castle. Facing the surging Giants, his body enlarged, instantly transforming into the twenty-meter-tall Groudon Form!
Fighting the Giants with a human body is very inconvenient!
"!!!"
A visible sound wave burst forth!
"Is that the enemy?!"
The Giants, enduring the sound wave, changed color in shock.
"Don't be afraid, take him down!"
"For Elbaf!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
The warriors of the original Giant Warrior Pirates roared as they charged. In this peaceful era, they were the last remaining warriors!
"Die, monster!"
A Giant leaped up, gripping a massive sword with both hands and swinging it with full force at Groudon's head. With a "crack," the sword broke into two!
Daichi swung his sharp claws, sending the Giant flying!
Though unverified, the defensive strength of his complete Groudon Form is definitely no less than Big Mom's Iron Balloon.
Even in his human form, his physical strength can rival Kaido. Compared to the Yonko, his only lacking aspect is Haki.
"!"
Daichi roared to the sky. Precipice Blades rose from the ground, blasting all the charging Giants into the air.
"Wah ah ah ah!!!"
The Giants were caught off guard, screaming as they flew into the sky.
But it wasn't over yet.
Dense firelight gathered in his mouth!
"Overheat!"
A beam of flame spewed forth, following the main tree-lined avenue all the way to its end, an indiscriminate, super-large-range attack!
"Boom boom boom!!!"
A chain of explosions in a line, surging flames rising into the air!
Elbaf, built on trees, had fire as its greatest weakness. The raging inferno plunged the Giants into complete panic.
"Quick, put out the fire!"
"The men have all gone to fight!"
"Run!"
With a powerful enemy ahead, the remaining elderly, weak, women, and children couldn't put out the fire even if they wanted to, so they could only flee in a panic towards the Port.
Battlefield area.
Flames burned, and Giants lay one after another in pools of blood.
Groudon, much larger than the Giants, moved slowly forward, heading towards the Port. Behind him, only ruins remained.
More and more Giants arrived.
"Stop it!!!"
One of them leaped high, jumping directly above Daichi, and slammed a Haki-infused fist fiercely onto Daichi's head!
"Demon-Slaying Fist!"
"Thud!"
Daichi's head lowered. His massive body recoiled two steps, then he raised his head, looking at the rough Giant who had attacked him.
"Looks pretty strong!"
A very good attack. The combination of the Giants' immense strength and Haki made him feel a slight pain.
However, it was just a little painful.
To inflict effective damage on him in his complete Groudon Form, physical attacks alone were not enough.
Advanced Armament Haki was the minimum requirement!
The Giant let out a low growl and moved again.
"Principal, cover me!"
"Saul, watch out for the earth spikes!"
The Giant Principal, with giant tusks resembling a walrus, quickly ran towards Daichi, swinging a massive iron hammer upwards, attempting to strike Daichi's chin.
Daichi stared coldly at his opponent.
"!!!"
The giant hammer struck his chin, and the immense force caused his head to tilt high. Immediately after, another Giant rushed out from behind the walrus-like Giant, slamming a fist into his face.
"Did it work?"
The two Giants' eyes widened.
Daichi took the Giant's punch with his face, his mouth opening. With the enhancement of the sunny weather, a dazzling beam of light instantly formed!
"Solar Beam!"
"Not good!"
Saul's arms shot up in front of him in horror!
"Boom!"
The incredibly hot Solar Beam blasted into Saul, sending him flying into the distance until he crashed into a massive tree trunk!
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a huge fireball, the towering tree trunk collapsed!
"Saul!!!"
The Giant warriors roared in terror.
Saul had served as a Marine Vice Admiral, and his strength was formidable, yet he was instantly defeated by the enemy!
When they turned back to look at the enemy, the walrus-like Principal, who had attacked with Saul, also lay on the ground, engulfed in flames.
"Even Principal Kiba has fallen!"
The continuous fall of strong individuals instilled fear in the remaining Giants, but behind them was their home. There was no retreat!
"All together!"
"Let's fight the monster!"
"Ngaaaah!!!"
Western Village, Port.
"Thud!"
A large hand reached out from the sea clouds, gripping the shore tightly. Then, the Giant's massive body burst out from the sea clouds.
Hajrudin lay sprawled on the shore, struggling to turn over, gasping for air, still shaken. He had almost suffocated to death!
When his body regained some strength, Hajrudin quickly scrambled up and looked towards the village, his gaze gradually becoming blank.
Reflected in his eyes was a sea of fire!
