Underworld.
An ice field far from the town.
Just arrived at the selected uninhabited area.
"Come on, Loki, let me see your spirit!"
Rocks could no longer hold back. His eyes suddenly focused, and berserk Conqueror's Haki swept towards Loki like a tangible tsunami.
That aura was wrapped in ambition and dominance capable of overturning heaven and earth. Wherever it passed, fine cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the ice layer, and even the cold wind was forcibly stopped.
In this instant, Loki felt like a small boat on a stormy sea, at risk of being swallowed by the tsunami at any time!
"What nice pressure!!"
Instead of fear, a wildly arrogant smile rose on the corner of Loki's mouth, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Among all the Conqueror's Haki users he had seen, each had their own merits, but only Rocks' Haki could ignite his competitiveness the most.
Linlin's Conqueror's Haki hid pure appetite and beastly desires, lacking ambition and having the weakest deterrence;
Golden Lion's Haki was full of unruliness and arrogance but lacked a bit of accumulated heaviness;
Even Harald, although his Conqueror's Haki was unmatched in power, had lost its extreme oppressive feeling due to changes in his state of mind, leaning more towards convincing people with reason rather than aweing them with force.
Only Rocks' Conqueror's Haki was like a prairie fire, burning with covetousness for everything under heaven, as if everything in the world would eventually become his possession, domineering to the extreme!
"However, it's not enough!!!"
Loki's snake pupils widened unlike ordinary people, and incredibly wild Conqueror's Haki rushed out violently, like a volcanic eruption, forcibly pushing Rocks' Conqueror's Haki back!
This is arrogance, confidence, and dominance transcending this world!!
Two top-tier Conqueror's Haki collided fiercely in the air. Invisible will turned into tangible power, crushing the surrounding atmosphere into twisted ripples.
Heaven and earth seemed split in two. Two ancient beasts tore and squeezed each other in an invisible battlefield, fighting for every inch of space.
Hurricanes roared, wind and snow flowed backward, ancient trees swayed, and glaciers cracked.
Thump! Thump!
Even though the giants had already pulled away a great distance, they were affected immediately.
Members of the new generation rolled their eyes and foamed at the mouth, collapsing one by one. Very few could maintain consciousness.
"An outsider pirate's Conqueror's Haki can actually contend with Loki."
Raideen frowned tightly, gripping the greatsword in his hand. This doesn't look like an opponent that can be easily dealt with.
Rumble~~
The squeezing Conqueror's Haki exploded with a bang. With the two as the center, the frozen soil within a radius of a thousand meters cracked instantly. Gullies several feet deep spread like spiderwebs. Splashing gravel and ice chips blotted out the sky and sun, shrouding the entire ice field in smoke and dust.
"Wahahahaha, such a blood-boiling feeling, it's the first time since fighting Harald a few years ago!!!"
Rocks laughed loudly and rushed towards Loki, his eyes burning with fervent emotions.
Loki's spirit was even stronger than he imagined.
It really made him feel extremely refreshed!
"Loki!!!"
"Come on!!!"
Loki laughed and went up to meet him. Compared to players like Golden Lion who floated around and avoided the real to strike the void, he still preferred someone like Rocks who could exchange blows.
Rocks gripped the rapier tightly with both hands. Pitch-black Armament Haki instantly soaked the blade. Immediately after, rich black-red Conqueror's Haki wrapped around it, the two forces intertwining into a terrifying sharpness.
He leaped up and swung with all his might at Loki.
The muscles on Loki's arms bulged, veins popping like coiled dragons. Iron Thunder in his hand was covered with Armament Haki. Unskilled Conqueror's Haki was barely urged, spreading along the hammer body. He also swung the hammer with all his might. The heavy giant hammer whistled through the air, meeting the blade.
Boom!!!!
Just before the tiny blade and the heavy giant hammer touched, the Conqueror's Haki wrapped around both collided first. Black-red Haki streams wandered and tore frantically, emitting a huge tremor, and an invisible shockwave spread out instantly.
The wind and snow that had just fallen were instantly lifted and shot wildly in all directions;
Even the thick, cotton-like cloud layer of the White-White Sea ten thousand meters above was forcibly torn open by this force, creating a huge hole. Golden sunlight penetrated the clouds, projecting onto the ice field like pillars of light, illuminating the flying smoke and ice chips.
The giant warriors who had already pulled away were forced to retreat further. Many were directly slapped to the ground by the spreading shockwave, full of horror.
Everything within several thousand meters was washed away.
"Hiss~ What exaggerated power."
Marlon sucked in a breath of cold air, unable to help swallowing his saliva.
The strength of the girl who defeated him was already terrifying enough.
Loki didn't grow this exaggerated body for nothing.
His strength is even above hers, actually able to compete with Rocks.
"No wonder Rocks has always wanted to ally with Harald. Such power is indeed worth coveting."
Wang Zhi also couldn't help sighing with emotion, unable to stop the shock in his heart.
Shiki and the others were all absorbed into this group by Rocks through pirate games; simply put, they were defeated subordinates.
Defeating Shiki is no big deal. Besides Rocks, Newgate can also suppress Golden Lion steadily.
Being truly evenly matched with Rocks is a different concept.
"We are too weak." Golden Lion clenched his fists, knuckles turning white. Feeling the pain in his bones all over his body, his face was so gloomy it could drip water.
Losing to Rocks is one thing.
But losing to Loki, a child, and in a miserable defeat without the power to fight back, is really unacceptable to him.
Miss Buckingham had no interest in participating in such topics. Looking at Charlotte Linlin not far away, she asked with interest: "Linlin, who do you think will win?"
Charlotte Linlin gave the answer without hesitation: "Loki."
"So confident?" Miss Buckingham was stunned.
"Do you think this is all of Loki's power? Stop dreaming." Charlotte Linlin scoffed.
In the battlefield.
Sword and hammer squeezed each other across the air.
"Loki, your Conqueror's Haki is far worse than Harald's!"
Rocks keenly noticed the unstable state of the Conqueror's Haki on the hammer body.
"It doesn't matter. Although my Conqueror's Haki is a bit worse, my strength and weapon just make up for this point!"
Loki revealed his white teeth.
Crack!
Terrifying thunder descended from the sky and converged into Iron Thunder. The already fragile balance collapsed completely.
The core singularity of the weapon collision shrank first. Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, thunder—all were sucked in, forming a pitch-black energy ball.
In the next instant, the energy ball exploded with a bang!
A blinding white gas ring spread out with the two as the center. Wherever the gas ring passed, ice layers and rocks were all turned into powder.
Immediately after, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, completely submerging the figures of the two. Smoke and dust billowed, blotting out the sky and sun.
Thump thump thump thump!!!
Even in the center of the shockwave, the two were unaffected.
Rocks slashed fiercely with his sword, and Loki swept horizontally with his hammer.
Sword and hammer collided continuously. The dull impacts roared like war drums, echoing for a long time between heaven and earth. Every collision made the ice field tremble violently.
"Truly incredible."
Rocks really couldn't hide his surprise anymore.
His and Harald's strength were already rare in the world.
And in terms of pure strength, Loki was even above the two of them.
He and Harald were in their prime.
But Loki, if calculated correctly, hadn't reached the stage where giants are truly strong.
But after surprise came even higher excitement.
The fighting spirit in Rocks' eyes flourished even more, and the force of his sword swing increased by another three points.
Boom!!
Accompanied by the dull sound of weapon collision, the two blasted each other with full force again. Rocks looked at Loki close at hand and said excitedly: "Loki, if you join hands with me, we will definitely be invincible under heaven!!!"
"Wrong, Rocks."
Veins bulged on Loki's arms as he resisted, the heavy hammer pressing down against the blade.
He had to admit that Rocks was a human even more monstrous than Linlin.
Linlin's strength was already considered the peak among the Giant Tribe, only below two people.
And Rocks' strength, even if not up to his standard, was far stronger than Linlin's.
Such strength, combined with such a mini body, shouldn't only perform like this.
"Wrong?" Rocks was stunned. Somewhat puzzled.
Loki suddenly retracted his hammer, his whole body completely submerged by violent thunder. The lightning sizzled, illuminating his figure like the descent of the Thunder God in myths.
His voice became increasingly deep, carrying unquestionable dominance: "If this continues, I alone will be invincible under heaven."
He took a step forward, thunder exploding under his feet, shattering the frozen soil instantly: "Rocks, stop just competing with me in weapons! Bring out your true strength, give me some decent pressure, and dispel my ambition of being invincible under heaven!!"
After speaking, Loki swung a faster and more powerful heavy hammer with stronger and more domineering power.
Before the hammer body fell, the ground had already been pressed into a huge pit by invisible pressure.
"Wahahahaha, have you not truly enjoyed yourself yet?!"
Rocks laughed loudly, raising his sword to block.
Clang!
Hammer and sword collided. Rocks flew backward like an arrow from the string, his feet ploughing two deep gullies on the ice surface.
Then Rocks bent his legs, a large area of ice exploded under his feet, and his figure crossed a distance of several thousand meters like a ghost, approaching Loki again.
Loki, whose Observation Haki was amplified by electromagnetic waves, saw Rocks' movement trajectory and swung Iron Thunder.
Boom!
The heavy Iron Thunder missed the target.
Rocks shook in the air, crossing the trajectory of the heavy hammer like a black lightning bolt, arriving at Loki's chest, and slashed down mercilessly with his long sword.
Pfft~
Thunder was also shattered by the sword edge, and hot blood shot out.
But in the next instant, in Rocks' surprised eyes.
"It hurts!!!"
Loki's chest screamed. The wound turned into a big mouth, spitting out a pectoral muscle as thick as a cable, whipping fiercely on his face with a whistling wind.
Smack!
Rocks' mouth was knocked askew.
Not much damage, but extremely insulting.
At the same time, a thick thunderbolt blasted over, making Rocks' body stiffen.
Followed by the heavy hammer attack, Rocks quickly raised his sword to block.
Borrowing this unrivaled force, he pulled away somewhat awkwardly.
"What is this thing?"
Rocks was a bit confused.
Having traveled the sea for so many years, he hadn't not seen Devil Fruit users.
But a chest growing eyes and a mouth, screaming and hitting people with muscles—this was the first time he had seen such a bizarre attack method.
"I am a Paramecia-type Soul-Soul Fruit user, able to endow my body with a soul."
Loki explained: "The harder I work, the more I discover the limitations of a giant's body. Although powerful, the heavy body cannot move at extreme speed like you guys. Unless my strength is countless times yours, but that's too difficult, so I can only use my ability to make up for it."
The corner of Rocks' mouth twitched.
He could already imagine the scene in the future where someone worked hard to hurt Loki, only for Loki's internal organs and bones to take the opportunity to slap people and launch a counterattack.
Such bizarre vitality is hard to match even for Zoan fruit awakening.
After all kinds of complaints, Rocks finally spat out a sentence of emotion: "Your development of the ability is simply genius."
Loki raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I think so too, so unless my stamina is exhausted, I won't stop."
"Indeed." Rocks gathered his thoughts.
He even suspected that even if someone chopped off Loki's head instantly.
Loki's spine and muscles could scream and pull each other like just now.
"So, continue."
Loki took the initiative to attack.
However, Rocks' movement speed was by no means ordinary. Under deliberate defense, Iron Thunder found it difficult to hit the target.
Instead, he was hit by Rocks several times again.
"Iron Thunder, gather energy to the maximum for me."
Loki threw Iron Thunder in front of him.
Fighting a speed-type player with this hammer is still too reluctant; let it be the energy core first.
Loki raised his hand and beckoned: "Odin, Apollo, come here!!!"
"Yes, Father God!!"
The thundercloud was summoned, landing on Loki's right side, absorbing the thunder induced by Iron Thunder. Lightning flashed in the cloud layer, becoming increasingly violent.
The sun hanging high in the sky of the Underworld also fell, revealing an unruly expression, approaching Loki.
"Incredible, is that sun also a creation of the fruit ability?"
Marlon and the others only discovered now.
The sun in the Underworld is a fake one.
"Ten Thousand Thunder Beckoning!!!"
Loki reached out and grabbed Odin, endless thunder erupting around him.
Countless purple thunderbolts fell like a rainstorm, completely covering the area where Rocks was. Lightning sizzled, and the ground was roasted to melt and then instantly solidified.
Boom boom boom boom!!!
Countless violent thunderbolts fell like rain, covering the entire area where Rocks was located.
Then, Loki drove the sun and held lightning, directly merging the two great Homies.
"Thunder Fire Great Burial!!"
Fire and thunder intertwined, turning into a devastating thunderstorm.
The center of the thunderstorm was pitch black, stealing all light between heaven and earth. Surrounding rocks, glaciers, and trees were instantly annihilated in the thunderstorm, not even leaving a trace of ash.
Buzz!!!
A crimson slash wave split open from the thunderstorm.
Rocks' figure stepped out. Although his clothes were somewhat scorched and his hair curled by thunder, his momentum was still like a rainbow.
He shook the rapier in his hand and laughed: "Loki, an attack of this level can only be used to roast meat!!!"
"Is that so?"
Loki didn't mind. The two moves just now were meant to delay time and rouse his ability: "Elemental War God, come out for me!!!"
The plasma energy escaping from the thunderstorm condensed rapidly in the air, forming a giant with a face similar to Loki's, composed entirely of indigo lightning and fire.
This elemental giant had cold eyes, emitting an aura of destruction, standing shoulder to shoulder with Loki.
"What new thing is this again?"
Rocks looked at it with surprise and joy.
A Paramecia type allowed Loki to play out the elemental power of a Logia type, vitality comparable to Zoan awakening, and now this new thing.
Loki is truly a genius!!
"Next move, you attack first!"
Loki said in a deep voice.
The Elemental War God nodded slightly.
In the next instant, in Rocks' eyes, the elemental giant beside Loki disappeared from its spot. Then, a voice identical to Loki's but colder came from his ear.
"Rocks, have you ever been kicked by thunder?"
Rocks' gaze moved.
The indigo elemental giant had already approached, its long leg smashing down like a battle axe.
Unlike the Maser Cannon: 3000 Leagues developed by Charlotte Linlin in the original timeline combined with weapons.
The Elemental War God developed by Loki has no weapon as a medium, consumes more, and cannot exist for a long time, but the advantage is being able to move as thunder and fire elements.
Rocks' action was faster than thought. The rapier in his hand had already accurately split the incoming giant leg.
However, the Elemental War God is not a Logia user, but a pure elemental life form.
Unaffected by physical attacks and Haki, the blade passed straight through the giant leg without causing any damage.
The Elemental War God moved without hesitation, releasing high-voltage electricity of thousands of volts directly against the rapier, while its body shrank visibly to the naked eye.
"!"
Even with Haki protection, Rocks couldn't help but feel numbness in his body, his movements slightly affected.
Loki had already approached carrying Iron Thunder. The heavy hammer, carrying the force of a thousand jun (30,000 catties), smashed down mercilessly.
Bang!!!!
A roar like a war drum sounded again. Rocks was slapped flying heavily, his body crashing into a distant iceberg. The iceberg collapsed instantly, burying him in rubble.
Fighting one against two, and facing a Homie difficult to restrain by ordinary means, Rocks fell into a disadvantage for a time.
But the Elemental War God was ultimately a state difficult to maintain. Soon its stamina was exhausted, and it separated into Odin and Apollo, lying weakly aside, temporarily unable to fight again.
And Rocks and Loki continued to fight fiercely.
Time passed little by little.
Sun Realm.
West Village.
"How much longer are they going to fight?"
Gerth, Hajrudin, and others stared at the large screen broadcasting the battle in the Underworld.
The battle between the two sides had lasted for a day and a night, without any intention of ending. The fighters weren't tired, but the viewers were getting sleepy.
"Hajrudin, will Loki be okay?"
Ida asked worriedly.
It was the first time she saw someone besides Harald who could fight Loki for so long without falling into a disadvantage.
Hajrudin, whose height had doubled, looked at the battle scene with longing, somewhat self-forgetful.
When can he catch up with Loki?
"Hajrudin?"
"Hajrudin!"
Hajrudin suddenly came back to his senses: "Ah, sorry Mom, I was too focused. Don't worry, Lord Jorul and the others have already contacted Father. This is the person Father met in the Holy Land before; he won't mess around. And Father is already rushing back."
"Is that so?" Ida felt slightly relieved.
In the battlefield.
Until the sun set on the second day.
The breathing of both became louder and louder, and their movements slower and slower. Both could sense that the other's stamina was about to bottom out.
Boom!!
Colliding again, both staggered back.
"Being cut by Conqueror's Haki Infusion really doesn't feel good."
Loki, covered in injuries, breathed heavily like bellows. If he hadn't shielded his brain from pain feedback long ago, he would have started screaming without regard for his image.
In this battle, he had a slight advantage in strength.
But the size difference was too big, and flexibility was insufficient.
Plus combat skills, experience, Haki—Rocks was much stronger than him in these aspects.
This cannot be made up for in a short time.
Fighting for two days and one night, the number of times he was cut was obviously more than the number of times the opponent was hammered.
Soul power was almost exhausted and couldn't be used casually to heal injuries anymore.
However, Rocks having taken so many heavy hammer blows didn't feel good either.
Rocks' hands gripping the sword were also trembling slightly at this moment.
Loki is an ability user, and one with extremely strong recovery ability.
Competing in stamina with the opponent is a bad strategy in itself.
But there was no choice; he was just an ordinary swordsman without other strange abilities.
Suppressing Loki with experience wasn't working, but in the face of the opponent's terrifying recovery power, if he couldn't knock him down to the point of being unable to resist with one blow, it would be meaningless.
Only when the opponent's stamina and Haki are exhausted, and even abilities are difficult to use, should he pour all his strength to defeat Loki!!
And now, the opportunity has come.
"Wahahaha~ Loki, you have experienced too few battles!"
Rocks laughed loudly, wrapping the Haki accumulated during the battle around his sword at this moment, initiating a charge.
"Phew~ Come on, Rocks."
Loki took a deep breath, carrying Iron Thunder wrapped in thunder, also initiating a charge.
At the same time, except for his own soul and lifespan, he burned all the soul power saved over the years directly!!
Buzz~~
With every step taken, Loki's already exaggerated size expanded by another circle.
Rocks' pupils constricted. He didn't expect Loki to still keep this trump card never shown before, but what did he have to fear?
So, Rocks swung his sword with both hands!!
"Abyss Curse!!!"
"Ragnarok!!!"
Loki also swung his final blow. The power gained from burning soul power turned Iron Thunder into a dazzling thunder light, crashing towards the blade.
Thump!!!
Thunder and Conqueror's Haki collided, erupting with world-destroying power.
Invisible shockwaves instantly swept across the entire ice field. Thick ice layers shattered layer by layer, and ancient skeletons turned into powder.
Both were sent flying by the violent energy at the same time, thrown high like kites with broken strings, drawing two long arcs in the air, and finally smashing heavily onto the ice field, stirring up sky-filling smoke and dust.
