One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 179 Father-Son Conflict! Roya's Ultimate Technique!

Wow!

The enormous dining table, which resembled a bungalow, was overturned, and its mere fall to the ground triggered a small earthquake.

The various giant-themed delicacies that were originally placed on the table were spilled all over the floor.

Of course, the executives of the Disaster Company, who were originally having a meal at another table, were almost thrown out of the room.

"Hahaha! What a pity! I really love those snacks called samura!"

While people were still flying in the sky, Teach was licking his fingers and grinning.

"Your sense of taste is messed up! Teach, what's so good about something that's overly sweet!"

Moria retorted casually.

"I think you don't understand at all!"

Teach's expression immediately turned serious. "Desserts? Those are human treasures!"

In that case, you'd be more suited to the Big Mom Pirates.

Doflamingo muttered to himself.

At that moment, the wind suddenly picked up.

Abel put on the Tengu mask, and with just a slight raise of his hand, the surging wind acted like an invisible giant hand, catching everyone and letting them land slowly.

"Oh no, flipping the table while eating is not something a good child should do."

As Roya put his arm around Tengetsu, it landed perfectly on Aruru's head, who had just been overwhelmed by Roya's Conqueror's Haki and had only just sat up.

"shut up!"

Overturning the table wasn't enough for Loki. After roaring at Roya, he glared angrily at Harald, "Father! What are you doing?! Are you going to give in to this guy?!"

Oh, despite his young age, he's definitely a true hardliner.

Luo Ya smiled and said, "I like it."

"Sorry, Loki."

The disappointment and anger in his son's eyes and words made Harald feel very frustrated.

How shameful it is for a father to expose his helplessness in front of his own son.

"Don't be sorry, Father!"

Hearing Harald's apology only fueled Loki's rage, making him even more furious. "That's not the apology I wanted to hear!"

"King of the Giants, my revered father, how can you bow down to a human!"

"You clearly didn't lose to him! You could still fight back, so why did you compromise!"

Oh! The internet has taken over the role of speaking out!
Roya looked at Loki with a smile in his eyes.

That's right!

Oden, Jabba, Harald, you guys should all listen to the children's voices.

You guys don't even have the guts of a child.

Loki's words moved Harald even more, and his eyes dimmed.

But in the end, all his thoughts converged into one sentence: "Loki, it's all for Elbaf, for this country. I can't let our country, our innocent citizens, be harmed."

"For the sake of this country?"

Loki looked stunned.

then.

"I do not accept!!"

The enormous boy, as big as a small mountain, roared hoarsely, "Where has the dignity of Elbaf gone? Where has the honor of warriors gone?! Father, you laid down your weapons and surrendered just to protect some inexplicable bastard! The weak don't deserve any sympathy!"

"Shut up, Loki!"

Harald suddenly shouted, his eyes filled with unfamiliarity as he looked at Loki, his tone full of disappointment, "What are you saying? You are the prince of Elbaf, one of the future heirs of this country! Don't you know that a king is made by being surrounded by people, and a king who does not protect his people will ultimately be a lonely figure!"

“No, Harald,”

Roya smiled and said, "Power is the reason for being a king."

Although it may sound politically incorrect, in this world, power determines everything.

Having a kind heart alone is nothing.

Loki glanced at Roya instinctively.

Is power the only reason to be king?
That's right, this guy is absolutely right!
"Roya! Are you here to cause trouble again?"

Harald was already somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Does this bastard even want to negotiate?!
"Sorry sorry,"

Luo Ya expressed his apology with a grin, saying, "I just blurted it out unconsciously."

“Loki, this matter is irreversible, no matter what.”

Harald looked at his son and said seriously, "This is my decision, and there is no going back."

"Are you kidding me! Are you kidding me!"

Loki, as if betrayed, staggered backward, his face pale.

He gritted his teeth and stared intently at Harald. "Father! I absolutely refuse to accept this! You are not worthy to be the King of Elbaf!"

After shouting out this blasphemous remark with all his might, the giant boy turned and ran out of the banquet hall.

Harald watched his retreating figure without trying to stop him, only letting out a long sigh.

"The parent-child relationship is very strained."

Luo Ya smiled and said, "How about we have a deep father-son conversation?"

Harald simply sighed and shook his head. "That child has always had a strange temper, probably because of his eye condition. He feels different from others."

Luo Ya gently curled the corners of his mouth.

That's why I say that very few biological parents in this world are up to par.

That's why they say a cheap biological father and an expensive godfather.
It wasn't Dragon who guided Luffy, but Shanks.

It wasn't Judge who taught Sanji, but Zeff.

Similarly, the man Loki most admired was Rocks, his father, and even after that.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic,"

Harald calmed himself down and looked at Roya, asking, "Roya, how do you plan to cooperate?"

"It's very simple."

Roya said, “I will help you establish connections with all the countries of Elbaf and the New World. It’s very simple.”

Harald's eyes lit up immediately.

The whole new world?

"even,"

Roya smiled and said, "We can make them become sworn brothers with Elbaf."

"That won't be necessary!"

Harald quickly waved his hand, saying meaningfully, "You can't buy genuine friendship by using coercion. All you need to do is help us establish connections with those countries."

"what ever."

Roya shrugged. "Your demands have been met. Now, listen to my request."

"As you know, I'm going to conquer all the countries in this sea area, so I need a fleet of giants."

"Donley and Brogy are the leaders, but that's not enough,"

Roya held up one index finger. "I need a thousand giant warriors."

"Are you kidding me, Roya?!"

Harald nearly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "A thousand? How many warriors does the entire Elbaf have combined!"

Luo Ya thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

Although Elbaf is known as the world's strongest country, its population is actually quite small, relying mainly on the quality of its individual soldiers.

In the original work, when the Knights of God invaded Elbaf, there weren't many giant warriors who went into battle.

A thousand people does seem like a lot.

In this case.

Luo Ya opened his right hand, turning his raised index finger into a full five-finger gesture. "The five hundred."

"Not that many!"

Harald shook his head repeatedly, and he also held out one hand, "Fifty! We can only give you fifty warriors!"

They gave me a 90% discount all at once?
You're going to settle for fifty? Are you from RNG?
"three hundred!"

Roya tucked in his thumb and little finger.

"impossible!"

Harald still shook his head. "Elbaf's total population is only tens of thousands. Excluding the elderly and children, how many truly combat-ready warriors are there? And many of them are at sea. You're asking for too much, Roya."

"hiss……"

Roya took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. "So, I've already backed down twice in a row, Harald. Do you still want to negotiate with me? This makes me lose face."

The threat in his tone was so blatant and undisguised that it immediately made Harald's face turn red, and his beard trembled with anger.

However, upon meeting Roya's calm and completely unfathomable gaze, Harald could only let out a deep sigh of relief.
He sighed dejectedly, "Three hundred it is then."

If Roya doesn't achieve his goal, he'll definitely lose his temper.

Then the entire Elbaf will be engulfed in flames.

This was never a fair negotiation from the start.

"Great, this is a win-win situation!"

Roya nodded in satisfaction, but he also reminded Harald, "But don't try to pass yourself off as someone else. I need real warriors."

“I’m not that short-sighted,” Harald said.

He paused.

"But you must promise, Roya!"

The Giant King's eyes sharpened instantly. "You must treat the warriors well! Otherwise, Elbaf will never let this go!"

Is it too weak to threaten again now?

Having witnessed your weakness, I find it hard to believe that you will launch any decisive counterattack.

However, while he was thinking one thing, Roya said with a smile,
"Don't worry, even to me, the giant warriors are a valuable fighting force."

Before Judge created a sufficient number of Calamity Knights, the Giant Mercenaries were the strongest group of combat forces under Roja's command.

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually the kind of person who takes great care of my weapons."

Luo Ya said with a smile.

weapons?
Harald sighed inwardly.

It's really ugly.

No matter what excuse they make, this time they have betrayed their own compatriots.

Just as Roya said, he sold his fellow countrymen into his hands like weapons.

Harald was in great pain, but his pain was of no use.

The compatriots might not necessarily suffer mistreatment under Roya's command, but if they refuse Roya's deal—

Harald looked at Donley and Brogy.

The two giants who had grown up with him nodded solemnly at the same time.

Harald felt somewhat relieved.

If Dorry and Brogy go with them, then there shouldn't be any problems.

Thus, the negotiations were concluded.

Roya didn't want to push the giants too far; three hundred warriors were more than enough for the time being.

How many countries are there in the region he occupies?

"It's a pleasure working with you, Harald."

Luo Ya did indeed have a pleasant smile on his lips, and his tone was unusually light.

joy?

How can I make myself happy in this situation?
Harald could only manage a wry smile.

In the past, he had always believed that he had done a better job than the former kings of Elbaf—his ancestors.

But after today, he won't think that way anymore.

Elbaf has never had a king as humiliated as him.

Meanwhile, the beautiful woman, Tianyue Shi, who was being held in Luo Ya's arms, also had an unusual light flickering in her lowered eyes.

Pluto, Neptune, the Fish-Men, the Lunaria, and now the Giants...

Eight hundred years ago, Joy Boy gathered the power around him, and Roya is almost able to gather it as well!
Could he really be the Joy Boy of this era?
How can it be!

Joy Boy is the liberator, the sun god who brings joy to everyone!
Luo Ya is only capable of bringing people and the world pain and despair!

Luo Ya had no idea what Tian Yue was thinking; he only noticed that the black aura emanating from the woman had become even stronger.

See? This is the benefit of having this woman by your side.

As he affectionately kissed the woman's flawless cheek, Roya smiled and said to Harald,

"The banquet probably can't continue. Harald, last time we came here, the captain was in a hurry to leave and didn't have time to properly tour the place. Could we visit Elbaf this time?"

Harald paused for a moment, then looked at his old friends. "Dongli, Brogy, you two take them on a tour. I'm going to prepare to gather the warriors."

The two giant captains also looked bitter, then nodded slightly, "Okay."

So, the group from the Disaster Company followed behind the two, ready to give the country a proper tour.

But, just as they stepped out of the castle gates...

"Oh! Something came up, you guys go ahead, I'll come and meet you later."

Roya immediately entered orc form, flapped his wings, and flew away in a certain direction.

Before Donley and Brogy could even speak up to stop him, they could only watch helplessly as Roya disappeared from their sight.

They looked back at the executives of the natural disaster company.

Apart from the kid with the long earlobes who seemed a little surprised, the others basically didn't show any expression.

It seems that to them, whatever Roya does is perfectly justified.

Isn't that guy afraid we'll seize this opportunity to kill all his men?
Dongli thought.

Then he suddenly gave a bitter smile.

It seems like they're really not afraid.

What do those subordinates mean to that madman?

"Come with us."

And so, the tour began.

Meanwhile, Roya had already leaped down from beside a giant tree branch and was rapidly falling towards the underworld below.

He soon returned to the skies above this frozen land.

"Tsk, very much in Kaido's style."

He looked down at the ground and said with great interest.

The hard frozen soil was smashed into a human-shaped hole, and there were traces of two large horns left on the hole.

This is what someone left behind after jumping down from the mortal realm and crashing to the ground.

In the forest ahead, the screams of monsters and their somewhat childish roars could be heard incessantly.

Roya slowly flapped its wings and flew over.

In the forest, a giant imp wielding a spiked club is angrily striking a massive bear on the head.

The bear, which was over 20 meters tall, had its skull smashed by a single blow, splattering red and white matter all over the ground. It collapsed to the ground, only able to twitch.

"Father! I absolutely refuse to admit it!!"

The brat named Loki shouted in a shrill voice, "To actually submit to humans? I will never accept such a thing!"

"Don't say that. Harald was powerless to help either. As his son, you should at least be understanding."

A leisurely laugh came from behind.

Loki turned around in astonishment and saw someone standing on the top of a large tree, arms crossed, watching him with great interest—

"Roya!!"

Without hesitation, the giant prince leaped up and swung his club at Roya!

Roya didn't even make a move, still leisurely crossing his arms and watching Loki attack him.

Two enormous, jet-black, imposing arms suddenly materialized.

A large hand reached out and grabbed Loki's spiked club, while the other hand pressed down on the back of Loki's head, slamming him directly into the snow.

"Damn it! Let me go!!"

Loki struggled desperately, but how could he, who didn't even know how to use Haki, break free from Roja's activated Haki?
"Seriously, Loki, come over here."

Roya looked down at Loki, who was struggling to wriggle like a caterpillar, and said, "This is a promise we made eight years ago."

"Pooh!"

Loki strained to look up at Roya, and said fiercely, "I don't remember any bullshit agreement!"

"Roya! The only one I admire is Rocks. I don't acknowledge you as some lousy successor!"

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed strangely again, "In the end, all you want is my power. Do you think I'll grant your wish?"

"It's true that I can't beat you, but you'll never get what you want!"

Oh, he's different from the simple-minded guy he was eight years ago; his personality has gradually become a bit eccentric.

There's really no other way; it seems we'll have to resort to our ultimate weapon!
"Speaking of which, can you really see anything with a cloth over your eyes?"

The shift in topic felt very abrupt and deliberate.

But Loki didn't notice anything amiss; he was already gripped by uncontrollable panic.

"You, what are you going to do!"

But no matter how panicked he was, it was no use. Roya's domineering aura formed another hand, which reached out and grabbed Loki's blindfold.

"Roya! You bastard!!"

Loki's rage burned like never before. "No! You can't do this!"

"Of course I can."

Luo Ya smiled and gently pulled with his domineering hand.

The cloth strip came off.

"Bastard thing!"

Loki roared, but there was a hint of despair in his voice.

"If you want to see, I'll let you see as much as you want!"
