One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 178 The Invincible One! The Giant Mercenary!

Chapter 178 The Invincible One! The Giant Mercenary!
It went very smoothly.

He had been training in Observation Haki to foresee the future for a long time, and was only one step away from mastering it.

Roya's Observation Haki is certainly far from reaching its peak, but it has already reached the minimum level of predicting the future.

When Luffy achieved his ability to foresee the future, his Observation Haki might not have been as strong as Roja's at that time.

After such a huge stimulus as Harald, it's quite normal to achieve the ability to foresee the future through spiritual practice.

In short, I, Luo, did not use any cheats!
It's all thanks to hard work and sweat!
However, this feeling is indeed quite wonderful.

A red light flashed continuously in Roya's eyes.

A series of future scenes came into his view.

However, it's still a bit choppy, like a crappy computer trying to run the latest AAA game, resulting in very laggy graphics.

That's normal; beginners often experience this.

Even the ability to foresee the future using Observation Haki has varying degrees of power.

Once you become more proficient, the images will become coherent, forming a single video, and you will be able to glimpse into the distant future.

It's already made a good start!
So Roja said happily to the bewildered Giant King, "Thanks, Harald. Let's stop here. There's no reason to continue fighting."

Harald clutched his chest with his left hand, and when he raised his hand, his palm was covered in blood.

His eyes were filled with astonishment as he looked at Roya, then instantly turned to anger, "Observation Haki to foresee the future? You bastard! You've been using me as a sparring partner!!"

He then understood why Roya, despite having gained absolute initiative, still wanted to fight him!

So that was the purpose?

That wretched brat!
He actually became even stronger through his own efforts!
"So didn't I already say that?"

Luo Ya smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Without your help, I might have had to wait a while longer to learn this move."

He was very happy.

He has mastered the advanced uses of all three types of Haki: Conqueror's Haki for internal destruction, Armament Haki for foreseeing the future, and Observation Haki for predicting the future.

All that's missing is a single kill.

However, this move has a very narrow scope of application; it is only useful against truly powerful masters, and ignoring it is not a big deal.

Therefore, if Im doesn't provide any new knowledge, then I've already mastered most of the skills in the Haki skill tree.

"You crazy person!"

Harald gained a deeper understanding of Roya's madness.

Would you be willing to fight yourself without any regard for the consequences, just for the sake of cultivation?

He knew it perfectly well; given the chance, he would definitely kill him without hesitation!

Does he simply not care? Or does he genuinely believe he lacks the power to do so?
Either way, this guy's madness is evident.

Furthermore, now that this kid has mastered Observation Haki and can foresee the future, killing him will be even more impossible.

It was already as slippery as an eel, and now it can even see into the future, making it very difficult to land an attack.

I wouldn't kill someone just by seeing them.

So, what should we do?
Is there no other way but to compromise with this bastard?

Where will Elbaf end up under this bastard's coercion?

"Thank you for the compliment,"

Roya didn't care at all, casually sheathing his sword. "Let's have a good talk about our cooperation."

Harald was still gripping his greatsword tightly, but Roya, with a relaxed smile, unilaterally declared the end of the battle.

It is indeed incredibly strong in direct combat, but as long as you don't think about fighting head-on to win, it has no ability to threaten you.

This is even more true after he mastered Observation Haki and could foresee the future.

"cooperate……!"

Harald's facial muscles were trembling.

Looking at the Giant King who was still gritting his teeth, Roya chuckled with interest, "Hey, Harald, what are you standing there for? At least throw a banquet to entertain us who have come from afar, shall we?"

"...You bastard!"

Harald could only angrily curse, "Come with me!"

And so, the battle came to an end.

Harald first dug the giants who had been blown away in the battle from under the snow, and then led everyone to a huge elevator.

Besides the Rainbow Bridge, the connection between the world of the living and the world of the dead in the Giant Kingdom is made up of these giant elevators that seem to be from the works of Hidetaka Miyazaki.

As they rode the giant elevator upwards, both Dorry and Brogy looked grim.

Even Harald couldn't do anything to Roya? Harald was even injured by Roya!

The world's craziest pirate!
It truly lives up to its reputation.

Loki, meanwhile, just stared blankly at Harald's retreating figure.

He still finds it hard to accept.

So, it was Father who was defeated?

Soon, at Auersto Castle, located in the second level of the Yang Realm of Elbaf, a banquet was held to "welcome" the Disaster Company.

"It feels really strange."

Becky looked around, feeling quite uncomfortable. "Everything is too big!"

Huge houses, huge tables and chairs, huge food.

Because of their enormous size difference, they were placed directly on a table. Giants have "miniature" tables and chairs specially designed for humans, which came in handy.

"However, hehehehe, the giants' food really tastes quite good!"

Teach, on the other hand, was much more easygoing, laughing heartily as he devoured a large chunk of meat.

However, most people's attention was focused on Harald, who was sitting in the main seat.

The giant king looked down at Roya, who was leaning against Tianyue Shi's chest, not eating, but just breathing quietly.

"Let's get straight to the point! Roya, what exactly do you mean by this so-called business, this so-called cooperation?"

Harald looked serious.

The rest of the banquet attendees—the two giant heroes, Dorry and Brogy, the white-haired giant elders, and Loki, the future heir to the kingdom—all subconsciously looked at Roya.

The upcoming negotiations will determine the future of the entire Elbaf!
"Let me make this clear beforehand, don't push your luck!"

Before formally beginning to negotiate terms, Harald said with a cold expression, "Otherwise, even if it costs this country, we will fight you to the death!"

Luo Ya believed this wholeheartedly.

If we really push them to the limit, then what if we don't even want the Tree of God and Adam?
If the land is saved and people are lost, both people and land will be lost.

"Don't worry, it's a win-win collaboration."

Luo Ya perked up slightly, sat up straight from Miss Snacks' lap, and pulled the meek woman into his arms as casually as if he were holding a large rag doll.

"I had no interest in destroying Elbaf from the very beginning."

He said, "In the end, Harald, you are the captain's good friend, and the captain's friend is my friend. We are born to be partners."

"If you hadn't been so aggressive and confrontational from the start, things wouldn't have turned out so unpleasant. You should really reflect on that."

"Humph."

Harald couldn't help but snort coldly.

How shameless.

Compared to you, you bastard, even Rocks is kind-hearted.

"Harald, haven't you always sought communication between Elbaf and the human world?"

Luo Ya raised the corners of his mouth, struck a pose like a boss, and leisurely leaned back in his chair while stroking Tian Yue Shi's smooth hair with one hand as if petting a cat.

"I can help."

"what?"

Harald was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"There's no need to elaborate on how extensive the business scope of the Natural Disaster Company is, is there?"

Luo Ya said casually, "We have business dealings with most of the non-member countries in the world."

"Not to mention now, the entire New World belongs to us. Although we have divided up our territories, it's not impossible for me to establish contact between Elbaf and all the countries in the New World with just a word."

"this!"

Harald's eyes lit up instantly.

His beloved Ida made him realize that since Elbaf exists in this world, it should not be isolated.

Although humans are generally weak, they also possess a power that can be described as great.

Disrespect for humanity will bring disaster to Elbaf sooner or later!
Just like Rocks back then, just like Roya now.

Therefore, over the years he has been actively trying to make contact with the human kingdoms, even going so far as to infiltrate the World Conference.

It should be said that he has achieved some results; he has indeed become friends with the kings of many countries and established connections with those countries, but it is still far from enough.

"Are you serious?" Harald could hardly contain his excitement. At least for this moment, he was truly moved, even forgetting the threat posed by Roya.

"Wait! Harald!"

One of the elders of the giant race, the oldest warrior in the world, the former captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates, the old giant known as Mountain Beard, Aluru spoke tremulously.
"Don't worry!"

This elderly man, nearly 380 years old—a rare age even among giants—speaks slowly, but beneath his snow-white eyebrows, his eyes, fixed on Roya, are sharp and piercing.

"But Roya, what will be the price?"

all of these!
Of course, if I were to answer like that, then another fight would break out immediately.

So Roya replied, "Combat strength, I need Elbaf's combat strength."

"Just as I thought,"

A look of surprise appeared on Aruru's face. "Another madman who covets the power of Elbaf!"

"No way!"

Another giant elder spoke up angrily, "Roya the Cataclysm! What do you take Elbaf for? Do you want to enslave the warriors of the giant race?"

"Reject him! Harald!"

Another giant elder chimed in impatiently, "Elbaf will absolutely not accept such conditions!"

"That's right! So what if we don't establish diplomatic relations with humans? Compared to that, the dignity of a warrior must never be trampled on!"

The elders were shouting like that.

"Wow, you've had it tough, Harald."

Roya looked at Harald with some pity. As a king, and a monster with overwhelming power, he was still being held back by these old men.

"I don't need your sympathy!"

Harald replied irritably.

"So, do you want me to take care of them for you?"

Luo Ya said with a righteous expression, "If it's inconvenient for you to do it, I'll do it. After all, it's really noisy."

"What did you say!!"

A giant elder slammed his fist on the table and stood up, exclaiming incredulously, "Calamity Roya, where do you think you are to act so presumptuously?"

"I already told you, it's too noisy!"

Luo Ya's eyes suddenly lit up.

hum!
The violent aura swept everything away in an instant, and the huge castle was shaking violently. The walls, floors, ceilings, tables, chairs, and decorations in the room were all breaking.

"Wow ah ah!"

Amidst screams, these giant elders were struck by the dark lightning and forced to the ground. Some knelt, some lay prone, all groaning in agony.

Before a true overlord, these old and frail giants, who could no longer even be called warriors, did not even have the right to stand.

"Roya! Stop!"

Harald roared, unleashing a similarly ferocious aura that rivaled Roja's Conqueror's Haki.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm just a little angry."

Luo Ya withdrew his domineering aura apologetically, scratching the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly, "After all, they really don't understand their own position. I'm not negotiating with you right now."

"I'm just stating the demands you have to agree to; you don't have the right to refuse."

"..."

Donley and Brogy gritted their teeth.

indeed!

Based on his current performance, where in the world can you find another guy who's crazier than him!
"Roya!"

Harald's forehead veins bulged as well. "I told you, don't push your luck!"

Roya acted as if he hadn't heard Harald's words at all. "I need a mercenary group of giants. Don't worry, the pay will definitely be good. The Cataclysmic Company has always been a dog-eat-dog world, and powerful giant warriors certainly deserve better treatment."

"Then,"

Roya looked at Brogy and his companion, who were gritting their teeth, and pointed at them, saying, "Dongli, Brogy, you two will be the leaders of this mercenary group."

That's it!

Donley and Brogy finally understood why this guy had gone to such lengths to send them back to Elbaf, and why he didn't care at all about their dislike for them!

That's the idea they're after!
"Don't be delusional, Roya!"

"Dongli said angrily."

"That's it,"

Roya nodded. "Alright then, negotiations have broken down, let's go to war."

"Roya! Don't go too far!"

Harald stared intently at Roya, "If war really breaks out, your Catastrophe Company won't be able to escape unscathed!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Roya raised an eyebrow and turned to his men. "Are you willing to die for me?"

"Of course! Boss!"

Barrett nodded fervently at the first moment, "Our lives belong to you!"

"Anytime is fine, Boss!"

Abel didn't hesitate at all.

"If it's for your ambition, I wouldn't care how many times I die!"

Dylan wished he could die immediately.

The others, including Dover, had slightly changed expressions, but they didn't dare to say anything. They could only nod repeatedly.

If they dare to refuse now, who knows what awaits them next! Roya is petty!
Roya doesn't care about them at all!
To Roya, they were merely weapons that could provide combat power, and could be discarded at will if needed.

Let alone them, what about Tianyue Shi, who shares his bed every day? Would Luo Ya hesitate to kill her?

"Look,"

Luo Ya shrugged. "We are not afraid of sacrifice."

"So, shall we start fighting?"

"...!!"

Harald's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

madman!

What a madman!

Does this guy have no weaknesses at all?

"All right!"

Brogdie roared suddenly, "We agree to your terms!!"

"Don't lay a hand on Elbaf!"
