Roa sized up the big guy who was poking his head out of the small hut. He had a pitch-black club on his back, wore a steel helmet, and sharp horns pierced out from the holes at the top of the helmet, pointing proudly towards the sky. His pink hair hung loosely down his back.
He looked very young, perhaps a little over ten years old. His face was still round, and he looked a bit cute. However, his height even surpassed that of an ordinary giant, being much taller than Dorry and Brogy, with a body as large as a small mountain.
The last time they met was eight years ago, right? But eight years was still too short for a giant. The last time they met, both were still young children. And now, eight years later, Roa was a dashing young man, but this kid only looked like he had grown two or three years older.
"So big!"
Teach was dumbfounded. "He looks so young, yet his body is this large! Is this an ancient giant?" It wasn't just him; all the kids were stunned. Especially Enel, the country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Ordinary giants like Dorry and Brogy were already surprising enough for him. And now, Loki, who had inherited the bloodline of an ancient giant, was so large that he couldn't comprehend it. Looking at his age, he couldn't be more than two years older than him!
"The giants call him Prince Loki?"
Dylan also said in surprise, "So, this guy is the son of Harald, the Giant King, and the future ruler of the Giant Kingdom?"
"Harald's son?"
Dorry and Brogy's expressions changed instantly. This wasn't good! Was this child the son of Harald and Ida? Harald was their childhood friend. The three of them had practically grown up together. Therefore, they knew even better that Harald was a very sentimental person! Even before he met Ida and decided to turn over a new leaf, there was a soft heart beneath his mischievous exterior! So, if this child was captured by Roa!!
At this moment, Loki, who was still a little dazed, also noticed the giant snail in the snow. And on the snail's head were a few humans that were never seen in Elbaf.
"Humans?"
Loki came out from behind the door and sized up the few people on the snail's head with some curiosity.
"Prince Loki! These people are very dangerous. Please leave this place quickly!"
The giants who had brought Roa and his crew here quickly went up to stop him. But their words had the opposite effect. As soon as the words left their mouths, Loki instantly raised the corners of his mouth.
"Dangerous? Hahaha! I want to see how dangerous they are!"
Loki just pushed with his hands, and the few giants in front of him were sent sprawling.
"Ohh."
Roa raised an eyebrow. His strength was even more exaggerated than it was eight years ago. He was still just a kid, but the adult giants were as weak as chickens in front of him.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, after getting past the giants' obstruction, Loki finally "saw" Roa. He should have seen him, right? Although his eyes were covered with a cloth, Roa did have a feeling of being stared at.
"You, you..."
Loki was a little hesitant. He looked familiar. Very familiar!
"Your name is Loki, right?"
At this moment, the two giants behind Roa jumped off the snail, stepping on the thick snow and leaving deep footprints as they approached Loki. "Stay away from this guy. He's too dangerous! Wait for Harald to get here!"
"That's right!!"
Although the giants had a lot of complaints about Dorry and Brogy, whom they saw as spineless, they also agreed with them at this moment. One of the giants said in a panic, "This guy is Roa, the Calamity! The most dangerous man in the world! The pirate with the highest bounty after Rocks!"
Roa's smile was brilliant. They said something they shouldn't have.
"Roa!!"
Loki's body suddenly trembled. He stared at Roa. "It's you!! You bastard!!" Loki could never forget. He could never forget the bastard who had beaten him up eight years ago, then tricked him like a fool, and finally, before leaving, severely injured him until he was covered in blood!
"I knew you'd remember me!"
Roa had the expression of an old friend reunited. "It's been a long time. I left in a hurry and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Roa, but I haven't been a pirate for a long time. Now I'm a peace-loving businessman."
"Eight years ago, I promised you that when I became the captain of the Rocks Pirates, I would come and pick you up. Although there is no Rocks Pirates anymore, I've formed an alliance that is similar to the Rocks Pirates. How about it, Loki? Do you want to come to my side?"
As expected of the Boss, he actually knew the prince of Elbaf! The executives behind Roa thought. He even extended an invitation to him!
The two giants, Dorry and Brogy, were also astonished. What was the relationship between this guy Roa and Elbaf?
"Don't listen to his nonsense, Prince Loki!"
The giants still tried to stop Loki, pleading earnestly. "This guy is too dangerous. Please don't go near him!"
"Don't get in my way!"
But Loki impatiently grabbed one with each hand and threw them all away. At the same time, his eyes were still locked on Roa—at least they should have been.
However, there were still obstacles.
"Calm down! Loki!"
Dorry and Brogy each grabbed one of Loki's shoulders and blocked him. "This guy is really dangerous! Only Harald in all of Elbaf can fight him seriously!"
An astonished expression appeared on Loki's impatient face. These two guys were so strong! Ordinary giants couldn't compare to them at all!
"Who are you guys?"
"I'm Dorry! This guy is Brogy!"
Dorry quickly introduced himself. "Harald must have told you about us, right?"
"Dorry?"
Loki looked at Dorry, then at Brogy. "Brogy? The two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates from seventy years ago?"
"That's right! It's us!"
The two of them nodded in unison.
"You're lying!"
Loki's body suddenly exerted force, and he actually pushed the surprised Dorry and Brogy back two steps. "Do you think I haven't seen Dorry and Brogy's wanted posters? You two fat pigs are trying to impersonate them!"
"Huh!"
Dorry and Brogy were immediately a little doubtful of life, and they didn't even have time to be astonished by Loki's monstrous strength. Were they really that fat?
"Fufufufu!"
Doflamingo couldn't help but laugh. "Two idiots, they shot themselves in the foot!"
Roa couldn't help but be amused. This was truly "Happy Giants."
"Get out of my way, you two fakes!"
Loki grabbed the shoulders of the two giants who were shorter than him and tried to push them away directly. "I will never let that guy get away!" He didn't need these guys to convince him. He also knew what the name Roa represented! The giants weren't completely cut off from the outside world. So, all the more reason why he couldn't tolerate this! The successor of Rocks? This great guy wouldn't admit to that! And he dared to lay a hand on Elbaf? Unforgivable!
"Calm down, kid!"
Dorry grabbed Loki's shoulder. "How did you inherit Harald's temper? You didn't inherit any of your mother Ida's gentleness!"
Loki was stunned for a moment.
Then.
Bang!
Dorry was sent flying high into the air.
"What?"
Brogy was stunned. Before he could react, Loki, who had instantly pulled out his club and sent Dorry flying, mercilessly kicked him in the stomach. The man, who had grown as round as a ball, cried out in pain and rolled away.
"You two bastards!"
Loki said furiously. "Who is the son of that woman?"
"What did those two idiots say?!"
The giants were trembling. Now, Prince Loki was completely enraged!
"Ooh, this is really,"
Roa looked left and right at the two giants on the ground. "They said the wrong thing."
Seventy years ago, when the Giant Warrior Pirates were roaming the seas, Harald, the Giant King, was still a mischievous and troublemaking scoundrel. Until he met Ida, a female giant from the South Blue. Ida was not a beautiful but a gentle and kind woman. But just like a typical story of a domineering CEO falling for me, Harald was instantly captivated by this good and unpretentious woman. Because of Ida, the arrogant Giant King became aware of his past atrocities and resolved to turn over a new leaf. That was how the Harald of today came to be.
This was probably all that Dorry and Brogy knew. But the story had a sequel. This story of a domineering king falling for Cinderella was not blessed by the giant elders. They absolutely would not accept Harald's marriage to Ida, even though they had already given birth to a prince, Hajrudin. The bloodline of the ancient giants could absolutely not be tainted by outsiders.
So, the elders prepared a wife for Harald who also inherited the bloodline of the ancient giants. She was the true Queen of the Giants, a woman named Esterlyda. She was a much more beautiful female giant than Ida, came from a noble family in Elbaf, and was good at some kind of art similar to feng shui. Loki was her and Harald's son.
Facts proved that the elders' position was very correct. What was the mixed-blood Hajrudin but a complete waste? He was insignificant in front of the born monster, Loki. It was just a pity that the Queen passed away from an illness not long after giving birth to Loki. Before she died, she left a prophecy, saying that Loki was a cursed child and the source of all the disasters that befell Elbaf. She herself also died because of Loki's curse. And then, Loki, this kid who was not loved by his mother, began to be called the cursed prince by the giants of Elbaf.
Of course, even with the curse, Loki's overwhelming strength still gave him a high reputation among the giants. After all, Harald only had two heirs. Compared to the weak and mixed-blood Hajrudin, the powerful and pure-blooded Loki was naturally more suitable. Everyone disliked his recklessness, but they all hoped for him to become the new king.
All this information came from Morgans. To conquer the Giant Kingdom, one must first understand the situation of this country. Although he didn't know the specifics, it seemed that Loki didn't have a good relationship with Hajrudin and his mother.
"You brat!"
Dorry suddenly raised his head. His head was bleeding from Loki's sudden hit with the club. "You really are Harald's son!" But the next moment, his expression changed.
"Hey, kid!"
At the same time, Brogy cried out in surprise. Because Loki had already charged toward Roa on the snail's head.
"You despicable bastard! Go to hell!"
The thirty-three-year-old, or eleven in human years, giant boy shouted, and the iron club in his hand came down directly on Roa's head.
"So mischievous. Do you want to relive the happy times we had playing together eight years ago?"
Roa said with a sigh. "I'll grant your wish." He raised his right hand.
An invisible Haki spread out. The flowing Armament Haki had already formed a Haki barrier from a distance, and under the activation of Roa's will, a pitch-black barrier was formed out of thin air.
Boom!
The huge and heavy club smashed hard into the pitch-black barrier. With a thunderous explosion, a wave of air spread out, and the surrounding snow was blown away.
"This guy, he's so strong!"
Facing the surging shockwave, Teach couldn't help but shout, "The ancient giants are really amazing!" If he could get that Devil Fruit one day and start his own company, he would also recruit an ancient giant as a companion!
But at this moment, Loki, who was being praised by Teach, had a look of disbelief on his face. His massive body was shaken and staggered backward. Was this Haki? This kind of Haki!
Before the shock in Loki's heart could subside, he suddenly realized that Roa was gone!
"You're done attacking, so it's my turn."
Loki looked down in astonishment. Before he could react, Roa was already in front of him, holding a scarlet blade. "Let me show you something nostalgic."
Roa raised the corners of his mouth. A scarlet lightning bolt leaped on the scarlet blade of the Tiger Soul. Then, he swung his blade. The intertwined two-colored Haki immediately turned into a huge shockwave, and it was much more condensed than a regular Haki shockwave, like a giant cannon blast.
"Waaah!"
Loki immediately let out a miserable scream, and his stomach was caved in by the single blow. At the same time as the intense pain, a thought popped into Loki's mind. Rocks's move! This bastard really is Rocks's successor!
Boom!
The massive kid turned into a cannonball, plowing a deep trench in the snow, smashing a hut behind him, and crashing straight into the forest in the distance without losing momentum.
"Prince Loki!!"
The giants screamed. What if something happened to the future heir of this country!
"Roa!"
Dorry and Brogy also gritted their teeth in anger.
But at this moment, Roa waved his blade in confusion. "This can't be right? Is his skin that tough?" Although he had controlled the power of that attack, it should have been enough to severely injure Loki. So why was the actual damage so much less? He could easily break through Loki's defense eight years ago. The difference between a blunt attack and a slash was really big.
But now was not the time to think about this.
Roa suddenly raised his head. In the sky, a huge black shadow was falling like a meteorite. The monster, almost twice the size of Loki, swung a huge longsword and slashed down at Roa.
"You bastard brat! What did you do to my son!"
"Haha, the king has descended!"
