"Hey, what do you two take fighting for?!"
Golden Lion suppressed the shock in his heart, crossed his arms, and looked unhappily at Loki and Charlotte Linlin, who were emitting a sickeningly sweet aura.
"Sorry, Linlin always likes to mess around. The feast of Paradise is a game between her and me, not a procedure for entertaining guests."
Loki put Charlotte Linlin aside and pushed her shoulder.
The Rocks Pirates didn't come with malice, so naturally, he wouldn't deliberately create hostility out of nothing.
Although Linlin is already 22 years old, in reality, only her body is fully mature; her mind is still that of an innocent little girl.
Charlotte Linlin also put away her previous fierceness, nodded slightly to everyone, her attitude generous and natural: "Sorry, I just heard Loki say that you are all top-notch powerhouses on the sea, and I just wanted to fight you."
The Rocks Pirates instantly felt much more comfortable.
Miss Buckingham covered her mouth and smiled: "It doesn't matter. Beautiful girls can be appropriately willful."
Charlotte Linlin blinked, her tone sincere: "You are also very beautiful, Miss Sister."
"No need to add the word 'Miss'." Miss Buckingham rubbed her forehead helplessly. She was worrying about her future life with Newgate.
On the other side.
Loki turned around, his snake pupils looking down at Golden Lion floating in mid-air, somewhat eager to try. "Just now was about Linlin's limit. If Your Excellency hasn't enjoyed yourself to the fullest, let me be your opponent."
After long-term tempering with Iron Thunder, he had initially mastered Conqueror's Haki Infusion not long ago.
Loki really wanted to know what ecological niche he currently occupied on the sea.
"Come!!"
Burning fighting spirit flashed in Golden Lion's eyes. He retreated nearly a hundred meters and raised his sword to issue an invitation.
Just now, he was simply blinded by anger. Engaging in close combat with a strength monster like Charlotte Linlin put him in danger.
Now, he is incredibly calm!
It's one thing for Charlotte Linlin to be incredibly fast.
But with Loki's massive mountain-like body, surely he can't fly too, right?
As long as he maintains the tactical priority of flight.
He can win!
Just then, the cloud layer overhead suddenly bulged violently, as if propped up by an invisible giant hand. A dull growl came from the depths of the clouds, as if a behemoth was struggling to break free from restraints.
Attracting everyone's attention.
In the next second, a rolling black cloud wrapped in dazzling lightning dived down. It was Odin, who had rushed from the Sun Realm carrying Iron Thunder. Its body fell rapidly towards the ground due to bearing the terrifying weight of Iron Thunder, its voice full of strain:
"Father God, I can't hold it anymore!!!"
Odin understood immediately and instantly changed its density.
Losing support, Iron Thunder fell towards the earth with unrivaled gravity. The pitch-black hammer body cut through the sky, compressing and tearing the atmosphere along the way, emitting a sharp whistle. Due to high-speed friction, a pale purple ionization halo appeared around it, like a pitch-black meteor burning everything, crashing down with an aura of destruction!
Boom!!!
Loki extended his giant hand and steadily caught the falling Iron Thunder.
The moment the hammer body touched his palm, a violent impact spread along his arm to his whole body. His majestic body swayed slightly, and his knees sank half an inch subconsciously.
Crack crack crack.
The frozen soil under his feet instantly let out a groan of being overwhelmed.
Cracks spread frantically like spiderwebs. The ground within a radius of a hundred meters sank more than half a meter simultaneously. Gravel mixed with ice chips was shaken into the sky and then fell like a rainstorm.
"This hammer... how heavy must it be? Just falling has such momentum!"
Wang Zhi's eyes widened, his Adam's apple rolled fiercely, his face full of disbelief.
He had seen countless treasures and heavy weapons, but never one that could cause such terrifying environmental destruction just by falling.
"Comparable to a mountain range." Newgate looked solemn. This seemed to be a weight he couldn't lift either. Shiki, I'm afraid you're going to suffer heavily this time.
Golden Lion himself thought exactly the opposite of Newgate.
Such a huge body, coupled with such a heavy weapon, mobility must be a fatal shortcoming.
How can he catch up with my speed?
How can he break my flight kiting tactic?
Golden Lion felt increasingly confident and couldn't wait to ask loudly: "Are you ready?"
The battle just now was too shameful; Golden Lion desperately needed a victory.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Loki nodded slightly, holding the handle of Iron Thunder with both hands, resting the giant hammer on his shoulder. The lightning wrapped around the hammer sizzled, "This is my first time fighting side by side with Iron Thunder. Please advise me."
"Lion's Majesty: Valley of a Thousand Cuts!!!"
Golden Lion wasted no more words, starting with his customary probing killer move.
Countless fine golden slash waves burst from between the dual swords, covering Loki overwhelmingly like a rainstorm.
Loki just simply swung the hammer. With formidable strength, Iron Thunder's own mass plus its incredibly hard material easily crushed the incoming blade storm completely like pushing over building blocks.
Turning into sky-filling fine energy light spots, dissipating in the air.
"Just standing still; it seems speed is indeed not a strong point."
Seeing this, Golden Lion felt even more confident and opened his palm.
The ice and snow drifting all year round in the Underworld, in the face of a kind of Float-Float Fruit power, stopped falling completely as if time had paused!
"Lion's Majesty: Snow Palace Scroll (Gosho Yukimaki)!!!"
The floating wind and snow instantly rotated and condensed frantically, forming snow-white lions with bodies comparable to hilltops, surrounding Loki in the center!
"Fruit Awakening!"
Loki looked envious. Golden Lion didn't touch all the wind and snow directly, yet could control and shape it; it must be the power of awakening.
Once a Paramecia user awakens, they can affect things other than themselves.
Able to assimilate everything around them into part of their ability.
The awakening effect of the Float-Float Fruit, presumably, is to endow everything around with buoyancy.
"Be frozen just like this!!!"
Golden Lion clenched his palm forcefully.
"Roar!!!"
Snow lions roared one by one, pouncing towards Loki simultaneously.
Once bitten, even if not torn to pieces, the massive amount of wind and snow would trap the enemy in the center, suffocating them to death.
However, Loki had no intention of moving. The moment the lions surrounded him, he raised Iron Thunder high.
Crack!!!
Incredibly thick thunder descended. The plasma energy body directly shattered all approaching lions, ionizing them into water vapor and sublimating them completely.
Leaving only sky-filling white mist.
In the mist.
"Brother, such a battle doesn't meet my expectations."
A trace of impatience flashed in Loki's snake pupils. Sure enough, he picked the wrong opponent.
He called out: "Odin."
"I am here, Father God."
The loyal dog Odin turned into a black cloud, hovering in front of Loki.
"Lock this flying lion in a cage for me."
Loki grabbed Odin with one hand, held up Iron Thunder with the other hand, and smashed it heavily onto Odin.
Boom boom boom!!!
The electric charges of nature were induced by Iron Thunder and poured into Odin's body.
The pitch-black cloud layer absorbed a huge amount of energy, its size expanding rapidly. The pitch-black color was illuminated into a blazing white color by the surging electric light inside.
Then.
Countless thunderbolts grew wildly from the black cloud like vines, gathering rapidly towards the direction where Golden Lion was.
Dense lightning intertwined into a net, locking down the entire sky.
"Sure enough, he can manipulate thunder. What a troublesome ability!"
When Loki appeared, Golden Lion had this speculation in his heart.
Golden Lion maneuvered in the sky, trying to dodge the thunder, but he soon realized something was wrong.
These thunderbolts seemed to have eyes, able to change direction on their own. No matter how he dodged, they pursued him relentlessly, showing no signs of letting up.
This is tracking thunder imbued with Odin's will!
Heaven and earth, all directions, countless thunderbolts sealed the surrounding space, gradually forming a thunder ball, surrounding Golden Lion in the center and closing rapidly.
"This is bad."
On the ground, even the schadenfreude had disappeared from John's face.
If it were him, he would probably only be waiting for death now.
"Shiki isn't that incompetent," Wang Zhi said casually.
"No, Shiki is in danger." Newgate looked at Loki shrouded in thunder. The opponent was about to act.
Above.
Boom!!!
The thunder ball exploded!
A dangerous, domineering crimson slash wave rushed out. The Conqueror's Haki slash wave actually cut the thunder into fragments!
"Jihahahaha, wanting to defeat me relying solely on ability is underestimating me too much...."
Golden Lion rushed out of the thunder debris with his swords, Haki steaming around his body. Although his clothes were somewhat damaged, his momentum was still like a rainbow, laughing loudly.
In the next instant, Golden Lion's laughter came to an abrupt halt.
Because Loki, whose flesh was wrapped in thunder, had already approached. His tall figure cast a huge shadow, giving infinite pressure.
Although the opponent's body was huge, his speed was unexpectedly not slow.
Activating his body with lightning to increase speed, Loki locked onto Golden Lion with Observation Haki, holding Iron Thunder with both hands and swinging down heavily.
The hammer body of Iron Thunder was wrapped in red-black and blue-purple thunder, emitting terrifyingly dangerous pressure.
Before the heavy hammer completely approached, the invisible air was compressed and solidified layer by layer, forming a substantial wall of air on the path of the heavy hammer's advance.
Golden Lion only felt the air around him instantly solidify into iron. His limbs and bones were wrapped in heavy pressure, making even breathing difficult. His movement speed dropped sharply, as if stuck in a quagmire.
"Are you kidding me?!"
Golden Lion's eyes widened in anger, the muscles on his arms bulging to the limit, veins popping like coiled dragons.
All his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki were poured unreservedly into the two famous swords, Oto and Kogarashi.
The blades flashed with blinding black-red light. He exerted all his strength and slashed out the sharpest and most powerful strike since stepping onto the sea!
"Lion Slash!!!!"
Clang!!
Oto and Kogarashi split the layers of heavy atmosphere, and the blades collided heavily with the hammer face of Iron Thunder.
The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing resounded through the world, hurting the eardrums of many giants watching the battle.
Violent energy shockwaves spread frantically around the collision point, tearing a huge hole in the clouds shrouding the sky of the Underworld, revealing some scenery of the Sun Realm.
Iron Thunder paused slightly, but only for a moment.
Then it pushed Oto and Kogarashi back roughly.
"Ugh ah!!"
Golden Lion's face was hideous. His arms were forced back, and the crossed blades of Oto and Kogarashi were almost sticking to his chest.
The knuckles gripping the hilts turned white. The tendons on his arms tore and sprayed blood under the terrifying impact force. Bright red blood dripped down the hilts and was instantly evaporated by lightning in the air.
He felt like he was holding up not a giant hammer, but a collapsing primeval mountain range. Endless power crushed down continuously. His bones groaned under the overwhelming burden, and the bones all over his body were trembling, likely to be completely crushed at any moment!
Loki's strength is even more terrifying than Rocks'!!!
Crack!!
A clear and piercing sound of bone cracking cut through the sky. Golden Lion's wrists bent at a strange angle. The two famous swords lost support, and the backs of the blades instantly turned back, embedding heavily into his chest, bringing out a large patch of hot blood.
The fragile balance was broken instantly. Golden Lion's tall body seemed to have all its strength drained away, turning into a crimson stream of light flying backwards, speeding past the sound barrier, emitting bursts of sharp sonic booms.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Forests along the way were cut in half, rocks were shattered, and thick glaciers were forcibly pierced through, creating a huge hole. It was as if what was flying was not a human, but a deadly cannonball destroying everything!
Smoke and dust billowed, blotting out the sky and sun.
Rumble!
Finally, crossing a distance of several thousand meters, Golden Lion crashed headfirst into the World Tree supporting Elbaf and slid down heavily.
Hitting a person like hanging a painting.
Golden Lion's body collapsed on the tree roots, having lost consciousness.
"Oops, seems I used too much force."
Loki carried Iron Thunder, feeling a bit distressed.
Iron Thunder is too heavy; he can't use it as freely as his arm yet.
Now he has to bleed to heal Golden Lion's injuries.
"However, this is a day worth commemorating." Loki laughed happily.
Him plus Iron Thunder fighting against others is equivalent to two against one, superior again. Win!
Although the current Golden Lion is definitely not as strong as the Golden Lion who would threaten Roger in the future.
But he is not in his complete form either; he is only sixty meters tall and still in his growing period.
"Linlin, heal the guest's injuries."
Loki turned around, waved to Charlotte Linlin, and walked towards the crowd.
"Wow!! His Majesty Loki is invincible, beating the outsider severely!!"
"His Majesty Loki is invincible under heaven, invincible!"
"With this legendary weapon added, what else can stop His Highness Loki?!"
"Nothing, absolutely nothing!"
"..."
Only after confirming the battle was over did the Underworld giant warriors, who had been watching for a long time, finally erupt, letting out hysterical and fanatical cheers.
They waved the giant axes and spears in their hands, their chests heaving violently, their eyes full of worship and fanaticism.
Among them, the people from the former Hunting Village were the most enthusiastic.
Perhaps following Loki means returning to battle, perhaps following Loki means having enough to eat, perhaps it's the fanaticism of converts, or perhaps this is just what giants lost in history but originally looked like.
In short, the current Loki is already the veritable King of Elbaf.
With just one order, countless Underworld giants would be willing to shed their blood for him.
They wouldn't hesitate to drag Harald off the throne!
Aside.
Rocks Pirates.
Miss Buckingham's small mouth opened round, somewhat dazed.
Wang Zhi was also dumbfounded. He thought Golden Lion could at least kite for a while; how did he just collapse directly?
Newgate subconsciously gripped his naginata tighter.
....
The expressions of all living beings varied, but only Rocks had heat in his eyes that was about to turn into tangible flames, unable to suppress the desire in his heart any longer.
If Loki could join him.
Even if they went to war with the World Government immediately, so what?!
So.
"Wahahahaha~"
Rocks laughed loudly, strode forward, and extended his hand to invite the majestic giant: "Loki, or should I say DOOM, you should have heard of me from Harald."
"This strength of yours shouldn't be silent in this small Elbaf."
"The vast sea outside is the stage where you can turn things upside down freely!"
"Ally with me, and let's turn this rotten world upside down together."
"Let's seize this world together!!!"
