One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 174 Say hello! Goodbye Loki!
As Roya arrived in Elbaf, many people around the world received the news.

In Mary Geoise, the Five Elders of the Meeting Kings held yet another meeting.

"A fleet belonging to the Cataclysm Corporation was spotted in the waters near Beehive Island, and it appears to be heading towards Elbaf!"

"Should I say, he truly lives up to his reputation as Rocks' successor? Just like that bastard Rocks, he's set his sights on the power of Elbaf!"

"Harald may be arrogant, but his strength is truly extraordinary! He's almost on par with that Lox guy! That damned brat won't succeed so easily!"

"But he's Roja! Roja who has never failed since his debut! What if, I mean, what if, he really does obtain the power of the Titans..."

The spacious conference room fell silent instantly.

At the same time, the new Naval Headquarters.

General Sengoku, who was preparing for a new round of "victory," also received a message from headquarters.

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

Elbaf is too far from New Marineford, and the route passes through the territories of several monsters, making it impossible for the Navy to reach it.

We can only pray that Roya doesn't actually manage to subdue Elbaf.

Harald, it's all up to you!
After that, all nations.

"Mommy, Mommy! Has that boy finally returned? And the moment he got back, he set his sights on Elbaf!"

Charlotte Linlin was furiously talking to a huge cake, "But Harald isn't so easy to deal with!"

Charlotte Linlin, who had lived in Elbaf and had been secretly observing the giant kingdom for decades, was naturally more aware of its power than many others.

"Mommy, Mommy! Roya, I'll see how you get out of this mess!"

While gloating over this, she was also seemingly urging someone else on.
"My children! Speed ​​things up! After we conquer this sea area, we can go to the South China Sea! We can bring back that descendant of the Bakaria tribe!"

Before they parted ways last time, Roya had already told her where the descendant of the Bakalia tribe was.

She had been eagerly anticipating giving birth to a Bakaria child for a long time!
Oh! I really miss those days!

Looking at the huge island in the distance, Luo Ya said with a touch of emotion, "It's been eight years since I last came here, hasn't it? So much time has passed in the blink of an eye."

The captain was still alive back then, but now his ashes have disappeared somewhere.

He missed Donley and Brogy even more than he did.

Just looking at the giant tree on that distant island caused their cheeks to twitch slightly, and tears welled up in their eyes.

It has been a full seventy years since I last came back.

Although I felt like I was fighting for honor in the small garden and it wasn't a big deal, it was more like the fate of a warrior.

But when I actually saw my hometown again, a strong sense of longing suddenly welled up in my heart.

This is where they were born and raised, the place they came from, and the place they will return to.

only--

The two of them lowered their heads in perfect unison, looking at Roya, who was standing on the snail's head, sighing deeply.

What will happen this time when they return?
But this guy actually came to Elbaf?

"Is this Elbaf?"

Teach excitedly took out his binoculars and carefully observed the distant island.
"Hahaha! What a huge tree! Adam, the world's largest treasure tree, truly lives up to its name!"

"But what's with that sword? It's way too big!"

Becky strained to see ahead, and couldn't help but marvel at the enormous longsword that had pierced through the second canopy of the Adam Tree and was now embedded diagonally into the earth below.

"Could anyone really wield such a massive weapon? Even the ancient giants wouldn't be qualified!"

The ancient giant race might not have been enough.

However, this might not be the case if the Giant race, or even the Ancient Giants, were combined with the Nika Devil Fruit.

The sun god in the legends of the giants should be the first Nika.

"The world's strongest country, that's something to look forward to."

Moriam murmured to himself.

Since following Roya, he has seen quite a bit of the world.

But the Kingdom of Giants, this mysterious country, still held a great allure for him.

"Be careful."

Roya laughed and said, "This country is inhabited by monsters."

Harald is a powerful figure even the captain acknowledges.

Even now, I doubt I could defeat him.

"No matter what kind of enemy we face, as long as Boss gives the order, we will never hesitate!"

Behind Roya, Barrett spoke earnestly.

"Hahaha! What are we waiting for!"

Roya waved his hand triumphantly, "Move the boat over there!"

Uh, no, that's not right.

"Move the snail over here!"

So the snail fleet rumbled forward again, and in no time it approached the huge island.

Only then did everyone feel the immense pressure emanating from the island.

Especially the enormous Adam Tree, which stood tall and its dense canopy almost blocked out the entire sky.

"That's really exaggerated!"

Doflamingo looked up, his mouth agape in astonishment, his jaw almost dislocated. "How are the people living under such a huge tree? Doesn't it completely block out the sunlight?"

"Ok?"

Roya glanced back slightly in surprise. "Didn't I say that Mrs. Elba lives in the trees?"

"Eh!!"

It can only be said that this country is extremely mysterious to outsiders.

Even though Harald has been working to establish communication between the Giant Kingdom and overseas regions for many years, the world's poor transportation and people's fear of giants have not yielded significant results.

News from inside Elbaf remains a secret to people overseas.

In any case, the large fleet had already approached the coast.

Because they came from the direction of Beehive Island, the area that the fleet has now arrived at is the same port that Roya arrived at when he came to Elbaf with Lockes.

"I really miss it."

Luo Ya couldn't help but sigh again.

However, what happened next is not something I miss.

Rewind a few minutes, just like eight years ago when you spotted the Rocks Pirates' ship at a glance.

Eight years later, the giants stationed at this port also spotted the enormous snails surging towards them from the sea.

Although they are not as famous as the Rocks Pirates back in the day, there should be no one in the New World who doesn't know what these snails represent.

"That, that's it! The Germa Kingdom's great fleet!"

"It's Roya! The Cataclysmic Roya has arrived! It really is him!"

"They've finally arrived! Quickly inform His Majesty Harald!!"

Recently, the monsters that have divided up the new world are expanding their territory without any restraint!

The New World Times newspaper publishes news every day about which country the Golden Lion has conquered, or which island Kaido has occupied.

There was activity in almost every sea area, except for the area where Elbaf was located.

And coincidentally, Roya had not yet taken any action, so everyone knew that he had chosen this area.

And now, this guy has finally arrived!

He came with the goal of conquering Elbaf!

We must not let him get away with this!
While contacting the palace, the giants hurriedly grabbed their weapons and rushed to the dock to prevent the group from storming Elbaf by force.

So when the snail fleet approached, what Roya saw were giants on guard at the port.

"Luoya, the Calamity! Halt! Elbaf, you are not welcome!"

The giants roared with all their might.

"Ok?"

Roya frowned slightly. "Isn't this too much discrimination? Weren't you quite casual with Captain Rocks back then?"

Although the captain and Harald the Giant King are good friends, he is also good friends with the next generation of Giant King Loki.

"Boss! I'll do it!"

Barrett said eagerly.

Although Abel was very close to Elbaf, he ultimately missed the landing operation.

So, it's time for him to show his skills! "Wait!"

At this moment, Broglie, the giant behind them, spoke in a deep voice, "Don't do anything rash!"

“That’s right, we’ll talk to them!”

Dongli quickly nodded in agreement.

Both of them were very clear that these ordinary giant warriors alone could not possibly stop Roya.

They must minimize the losses to the country.

"That would be great!"

Luo Ya nodded happily, "What are you waiting for?"

Bringing these two guys back from the amusement park all the way here, didn't that serve its purpose?
Dorry and Brogy stepped forward, with Dorry shouting first, "Wait! Don't make any rash moves! You're no match for these guys!"

"That's right! Contact Harald and tell him to come down and handle this immediately!"

Broglie loudly echoed him.

then.

"There are giants who have actually defected to the Catastrophe Company!"

The giants in the harbor were instantly enraged. "You two scum of the giant race! How dare you bark like dogs here?"

"It's definitely not a Titan from Elbaf! How could a Titan warrior from Elbaf be so spineless!"

"That's right! They're giants from the South China Sea! Just like that woman, Date! That race of giants is weak! Many of them have joined the Navy!"

The giants did not recognize Dorry and Brogy at all.

Roya subconsciously turned around and looked at Dorry and Brogy.

The two giants who had just boasted froze.

No, they've only been gone for seventy years. There shouldn't be that many new-generation giants who haven't seen them, right?

How could you not recognize me?

"Look clearly!"

Dorry patted his chubby chest. "I'm Dorry! Dorry of the Giant Warrior Pirates!"

"I am Brogy!"

Brocky, standing beside him, also shouted, his fat face trembling, "We're back!"

then.

"Who are you kidding! Do you two fat pigs think we're idiots?"

"That's right! How could we not know what Brother Dongli and Brother Brogy look like?"

"Roya! Don't be so despicable! You actually hired someone to impersonate Brother Donley and Brother Brogy!"

The giants were filled with righteous indignation, and the weapons in their hands trembled.

"Forehead--"

Both Donald and Brogy were instantly speechless.

Is this considered respecting them or disrespecting them?
Luo Ya was also starting to lose his composure.

Isn't this a case of shooting oneself in the foot?
You've been able to eat to your heart's content during this time.

"There's really no way."

Roya stepped forward, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "Let's say hello then."

"Roya! Wait!"

The two giants' expressions changed drastically, and they tried to stop them, but it was too late.

The crimson blade was slightly drawn from its sheath.

boom!
A thunderclap suddenly erupted!

Crimson lightning suddenly shot into the sky, like wild, dancing dragons, shaking the heavens.

The two giants felt a buzzing in their heads, as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer.

"Conqueror's Haki!!"

Dongli's expression changed drastically.

Brogy was equally incredulous, "This level of Conqueror's Haki?"

What kind of monster is this human?!
How could his spirit be so strong!

In their era when they roamed the seas, they had never even encountered a monster of this caliber!
The sea was surging, and the air was trembling. Fortunately, he had concentrated his Conqueror's Haki using his willpower; otherwise, guys like Doflamingo, Bege, and Enel would not have been able to withstand it, and even the giants on the distant coast would have been affected.

At that moment, the Conqueror's Haki that had been gathered into lightning bolts bent in mid-air, instantly sweeping past the second canopy of the Adam Tree, and crashing down with perfect accuracy toward the enormous castle.

boom!
The moment the crimson lightning struck the ground, the entire castle trembled violently.

"Ok?"

Inside the castle, an enormous man suddenly looked up. "You brat! Can't wait to announce your arrival to me?"

"Fighting in the mortal realm would be too troublesome. Let them wait in the underworld! I'm going down there right now!"

On the sea.

"This this!"

Looking at Roya's figure surrounded by lightning, Teach exclaimed with fervor, "Truly worthy of being the Boss! Such power! It's astonishing!!"

So powerful, so extraordinary!
If I can't get that coveted fruit, it doesn't seem so bad to stay under this man's command for the rest of my life!
Enel was utterly stunned and speechless.

Is this... Conqueror's Haki?
Amazing!
Even the slightest aftershock made him feel numb all over!
Unbeknownst to the astonished crowd, Roya, with his back to them, also wore a look of relief.

Fortunately, the castle was quite close by, otherwise his Observation Haki might not have been able to lock onto it.

I'm strong in both Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, but I'm lacking in Observation Haki.

Just then, a giant's roar echoed from the shore, "Stop! Roya! His Majesty Harald has granted you permission to land! He will meet you in the Underworld!"

Underworld?

Is it the lowest layer of permafrost?

Harald is so stingy! He won't even invite us to sit in the palace?
Oh well, it's good that we were able to meet.

With a casual gesture, Luo Ya sheathed the Tiger Soul sword and waved his hand with a smile, "Then let's log in."

He thought for a moment, "The large fleet can stay here, and a snail will suffice."

If we were to fight Harald later, the scene would be enormous, and if we were to bring the entire fleet up, it would suffer tremendous destruction.

So, the giant snail carrying all the cadres broke away from the group and landed directly on the legendary island.

"Is it a winter island? It's so cold!"

Doflamingo immediately shuddered.

"So, this is the real kingdom of giants?"

Becky tilted her head back, gazing up at the dense canopy of trees above.

Roya lowered his head and looked at the giants standing to the side, their faces grim.

“Come with us!”

The giants bluntly uttered these words, ignoring Roya's reaction, and turned to walk into the snowstorm, heading deeper into the island.

Luo Ya smiled, not minding at all, and let the giant snail follow.

Because the underworld of Elbaf never gets any sunlight, the temperature is extremely low, and it is covered in snow all year round, creating a silver-white world.

Combined with the occasional appearance of enormous beasts, it creates a unique atmosphere.

Luo Ya, who had never been here before, found it quite interesting and treated it as a tourist attraction.

Soon after, the giants led Roya and his group to a settlement located on a snowfield, where there were several "huts" that were far too large for humans.

"This is it! His Majesty Harald is descending from the mortal realm!"

The giants spoke stiffly to Roya.

As Roya nodded slightly.

Only.

The door of one of the huts was pushed open, and an enormous, somewhat excessively large imp emerged from behind the door.

"who is it?"

The giants leading the way instantly changed their expressions, "Prince Loki!"

What a terrible coincidence!
Why is this sir playing in the underworld today?!
When His Majesty the King is not away, doesn't he usually live in the mortal realm?

Luo Ya suddenly smiled.
"Hey, it's been a long time, my good friend."
