One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 182 Loki's Conqueror's Haki! Target: Sphinx

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of laughter, tinged with childishness, resounded like thunder across the city.

A monster runs rampant through a bustling city.

It was just running.

If it's just running, then of course it's harmless.

But who can blame them for having such a massive size, nearly thirty meters tall?
Simply running brought about an unprecedented disaster.

The hardened ground was cracked by being stepped on, and the sturdy houses were instantly smashed to pieces.

Nothing could stop him; the area he passed through left a trail that could be described as devastation.

"That's what makes the giants so terrifying."

Roya sat cross-legged on Loki's helmet, resting his chin on his hand, and began to speak with great interest.

The strength and speed of giants are beyond the reach of ordinary humans.

When an adult giant arrives in a human city, the style of the story shifts dramatically, and it feels like stepping into a monster movie.

The destructive power they bring is evident in every gesture.

Not to mention a giant of Loki's monstrous stature.

"Of course! The giants of Elbaf are the strongest race in the world!"

Loki laughed loudly, and in the blink of an eye, he smashed a tall building in half, causing it to collapse, bricks and stones to fly everywhere, and screams to fill the air.

Hmm, to be honest, it does feel a bit like an armored giant crashing into a door.

But Loki isn't Reiner; he's not just someone who can ram doors.

This playful child deliberately bumped into the tallest and most luxurious buildings.

No building could stop him in the slightest, and everything Loki set his sights on was reduced to dust in a short time.

How naughty!

However, it wasn't that no one tried to stop him.

"Monster! Die!!"

On the street, a group of soldiers roared hoarsely, their guns pointed at Loki. Because of his enormous size, they didn't even need to aim; they just needed to pull the trigger without hesitation.

A storm of bullets struck Loki in the stomach in an instant.

just.

"Are you tickling me?!"

Loki grabbed a piece of roof debris and hurled it at the soldiers. With a deafening roar, dust instantly engulfed everything.

How could bullets penetrate the strong and resilient bodies of the ancient giants?

"Oh! That place is so beautiful!"

Loki's gaze suddenly stopped in the center of the city, where there was a magnificent building complex.

That is the royal palace of this country.

"Hehe, it'll be fun to wreak havoc!"

Meanwhile, inside the royal palace...

"Has the calamity of Roya finally arrived?!"

The impeccably dressed king, his face pale, uttered a desperate whisper.

His eye sockets were dark, his eye bags were swollen, and his eyes were bloodshot. It was clear that he had been suffering from severe psychological torment recently.

Since the day the tragedy occurred, he has never had a good night's sleep.

And when the monsters actually started to divide up the new world, he was plagued by a series of nightmares whenever he closed his eyes.

The Sword of Damocles hung over his head, making him constantly anxious and restless, like a frightened bird.

On the contrary, now that the monster has finally arrived, he feels a sense of relief.

But why a giant?
How could the Cataclysm Corporation be associated with the Giants?
Could it be——

A very frightening thought arose in his mind.

This sea area is not far from Elbaf at all.

However, he sighed again in the blink of an eye, what's the point?

This country is finished.

It's all over.

I just don't know if Luo Ya is willing to accept my surrender.

same moment.

boom!
This is the roaring sound of a huge foot stomping on the ground, shattering the solid ground.

boom!
This is the sound of one foot stomping on the ground while the other foot steps forward, kicking a house in front of it to pieces.

boom!
This is the sound of a cannonball whistling from the palace walls and exploding on Loki's chest.

"Ha ha ha ha."

That's Loki's loud laughter.

"That's really tough."

This is Roya's exclamation of praise as he sits atop Loki's head.

Neither gunfire nor artillery fire had any effect on Loki.

His body was so incredibly resilient that unless you used an extremely sharp attack, like you did back then, to break through his defenses, there was practically no way to deal with him.

Well, I specifically followed him here to keep an eye on him, but I still underestimated him.

Loki charged forward at full speed, braving the heavy cannon fire from the palace walls ahead.

"Monster, monster!!"

On the city wall, the soldiers operating the heavy artillery were on the verge of collapse.

How could there be such a monster in the world? No matter how you attack it, it has absolutely no effect!
They could only watch helplessly as the giant approached.

then.

"Hey!"

Loki grinned and leaped into the air, delivering a knee strike.

boom!
The sturdy city wall crumbled instantly, not even lasting a second before being smashed open with a huge hole.

Just as a speed bump couldn't stop the 100-ton king, this wall couldn't hinder Loki in the slightest.

Loki burst through the walls and ran wildly into the palace.

Destruction and ruin, terror and despair, began to unfold here.

"Giant! Don't be so presumptuous!"

At that moment, a dark figure suddenly leaped from the rooftop and launched itself toward Loki.

Loki, who was having a great time, was caught off guard and struck in the chest by a sword, causing him to stagger back a few steps.

Blood was gushing from his chest, where a shallow wound had been torn open.

Ouch! That hurts! You're such a jerk!

Loki screamed, clutching his wound with one hand while simultaneously pulling out his spiked club from his back and viciously hurling it at the newcomer.

"Oh?"

Luo Ya looked at the person with great interest.

It was a young man clad in armor and wielding a knight's sword, who was glaring up at them with gritted teeth.

He must be a knight commander or something like that, right?
Luo Ya thought to himself, "He still has some strength, and he can use Haki."

But before the man could even speak, Loki's spiked club came crashing down.

The man was fast; he leaped up and dodged Loki's attack.

The iron bar slammed into the ground, instantly shattering the earth, and spiderweb-like cracks spread across the land like undulating waves.

What a terrifying power!

The man's pupils contracted as he watched this scene.

But now there's no time to hesitate!
His longsword, now stained with black, was thrust directly at Loki.

Unfortunately, Loki was faster.

Or rather, this man wasn't fast enough.

"go to hell!"

Like swatting a fly, the left hand, which was originally pressing on the wound, suddenly moved first and slapped the man.

card!

A clearly audible breaking sound.

It wasn't just the armor that was shattered, but also the man's body.

The immense power instantly pulverized him into a pile of mangled flesh, and in the blink of an eye, he was sent flying to an unknown location.

"Jon!!"

A heart-wrenching scream came from below.

Roya looked down; it was a man wearing a crown.

Ok?
He looks quite like that knight from earlier. Are they father and son?

"Enough! Roya, the Calamity of Nature!"

The man dressed as the king was heartbroken. "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just want the people in this sea area to know the consequences of refusing me."

Roya gave a very easygoing reply.

The king was completely stunned.

When did he refuse?

So, is it just a case of making an example of someone?
Is that all?

"You're the boss, right?"

Loki grinned and reached out his hand to the king.

"Don't use too much force, Loki. He's still useful as long as he's alive," Roya reminded him.

Later.

The giant snails stopped in the middle of this dilapidated city, in an area that had become ruins.

"That's really exaggerated!"

Beji stood on the snail's head, looking around as he felt his lips getting dry. "He almost destroyed this city all by himself in such a short time?"

Everywhere was a scene of devastation, filled with cries of despair; the entire city had fallen into a state of collapse.

"Hahaha, to Loki, this city is no different from a giant amusement park made of building blocks, right?"

Teach laughed heartily.

His smile also seemed a little stiff.

This is getting more and more outrageous, Disaster Company.

If things continue to develop this way, who in the world can stop Roja?
Could it be that by the time that fruit appears, Roya will have already conquered the entire world, rendering it completely useless?

In the sky, Dylan flapped his wings and descended, instantly reverting to human form upon landing. "Boss, the photos are all taken."

"Yes, very good,"

Roya nodded in satisfaction. "In this way, it will serve as a warning to other countries in this sea area."

"Isn't that a real shame?"

Loki, who was pointing at the king hanging from the ruined palace dome as if he were teasing a mouse, chimed in, "I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"What a playful child,"

Luo Ya said earnestly, "These countries and all the people in them are valuable assets of the company, and we can't afford to waste them."

"That would be a waste!"

Loki snorted, "What use are these weaklings?"

Is it a waste?
Dongli, who was quietly serving as a background figure, twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of fun for you."

While coaxing the child, Roya turned to look at the two backdrops. "Dongli, Brogy! The giant warriors should begin their operation."

"Three hundred giant warriors, divided into thirty squads, will follow my Scourge army to take over the other countries in this sea area."

Will you accept it?
Brogy's eyelid twitched.

Is it because you're certain that once this country's affairs are published in the newspapers, no other country will dare to resist?

Indeed, how many nations on the high seas could stand against a squad of ten giant warriors? "Alright."

The two mercenaries nodded.

"As for the two of you, you will come with us."

Roya raised the corners of his mouth. "The other islands and countries don't matter, but there is one country that is special."

"Special? How special?"

Loki became interested and hurriedly asked, "Are there any powerful figures entrenched there?"

"That's right!"

Roya laughed and said, "There's a super monster out there."

Although he didn't think a battle would happen, Dorry and Brogy were more imposing, and he couldn't afford to lose face.

"Oh!!"

Loki's eyes practically lit up. "I can't wait! Hand that guy over to me too!"

"you?"

Luo Ya glanced at the kid from head to toe. "You're still a long way from it. Your most important task right now is to quickly learn how to be domineering."

Although Loki is only eleven or twelve years old in human terms, thanks to his super-strong physique, he already has the foundation to learn Haki.

Back then, Roya himself started learning Haki around the same age.

When it comes to learning domineering qualities...

"Dylan, it's up to you now."

Roya said.

"Yes, Boss."

Dylan nodded respectfully. "Please leave it to me."

He was the top coach of the Disaster Company. He taught Barrett, Abel, and Moria their Haki, and even Roya himself.

"what?"

Loki immediately exploded, glaring at Dylan with displeasure. "What kind of guy is this? He looks like a weakling, does he even deserve to teach me?"

"How arrogant."

Abel, with his full head of white hair, shook his head with amusement.

"Humph."

Barrett responded with a cold laugh.

Even they held Dylan in high regard.

It's not just because Dylan is the company's head steward and the second-in-command in all aspects of operations.

Furthermore, Dylan's strength was second only to the two of them among all the executives.

"That's it,"

Roya nodded slightly. "Dylan, show us."

"Yes, Boss."

Without hesitation, Dylan stepped out from the crowd and stood before Loki.

Looking up at the giant who was as big as a small mountain, Dylan's face remained expressionless. "Whether I'm qualified to teach you or not, you'll have to experience it for yourself."

"Then go to die!"

Loki didn't hesitate at all; suddenly, he swung his club down at Dylan.

Without hesitation and with all their might, they were truly aiming to crush someone to death.

The massive spiked club slammed heavily onto the ground, its immense force instantly shattering the earth within a radius of hundreds of meters. The dense cracks that spread outwards were then forced apart by the powerful force, sending debris flying everywhere.

"This kind of power?"

Doflamingo, who was watching from the sidelines, felt his scalp tingle.

If he were hit by a blow, he would definitely be dead.

Even when he was hiding inside a rock, the shock from a powerful attack would still make him very uncomfortable!
Thank goodness I didn't provoke that guy!
but.

"Escaped?"

Loki turned his head away unhappily, looking to the side. Dylan effortlessly dodged his attack and stood there calmly.

"too slow."

Dylan said calmly, "To a master who has mastered Observation Haki, your attack is no different from that of a child playing around."

He's much faster than that swordsman from before.

"I'll smash you to death!"

Loki became even more enraged, and the huge iron bar came crashing down again.

In an instant, he destroyed the nearby ruins even more thoroughly. The earth crumbled and rocks flew everywhere. He destroyed everything in his sight like a monster.

just.

"too slow."

Dylan calmly dodged every attack from Loki.

However, at the same time, Dylan couldn't help but marvel at how exaggerated the power of this Prince Loki was!

In terms of pure physical strength, he is already far superior to him!

If he were to truly master both types of Haki, his strength would directly surpass mine!

"Damn it! Don't hide! If you're so tough, then don't hide!!"

Loki grew increasingly annoyed, but more than that, he was consumed by impotent rage.

I can't even touch it!

but.

"Satisfy you."

Dylan stopped dodging and launched himself directly at the iron bar that Loki had slammed down.

"Hahahaha! Then go die!"

Loki's anger was instantly replaced by wild laughter, and he swung his bat with all his might, determined to smash Dylan into mincemeat.

Faced with this merciless blow, Dylan simply swung his fist calmly.

hum!
The shockwave roaring from the fist slammed heavily into the iron bar that Loki had hurled down.

"what!"

Loki's expression changed drastically. He felt an overwhelming force coming from the spiked club, and his body staggered backward, eventually falling to the ground with a slump.

"how,"

Dylan landed lightly, his expression nonchalant. "Am I qualified to teach you?"

Loki stared at him blankly.

It's one thing if he's not as good as Roya, but this guy dares to act arrogantly in front of him?

"Open! Open! Are you kidding me?!"

With an angry roar, Loki leaped into the air, and his iron rod slammed down on Dylan's head once more.

"Who do you think I am?!"

Amidst the roar, an invisible wave of air suddenly spread out.

Enel, who had been silently watching the battle, suddenly felt as if he had been hit on the head with a heavy hammer.

"This is... Conqueror's Haki!!"

Becky, who was also feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded, exclaimed in surprise, "This kid too!!"

Luo Ya raised the corners of his mouth. It would be strange if there wasn't one.

Now, there are four Conqueror's Haki in the company.

By the way, Teach, do you even have Conqueror's Haki?
Barrett nodded slightly.

Well, thankfully he's not a useless coward like Doflamingo, who wasted his Conqueror's Haki.

Abel, however, felt somewhat wistful.

Another Conqueror's Haki has appeared. Why doesn't he have one?

Is it because he lacks courage?

but.

"Even Conqueror's Haki is useless now."

Dylan was like a phantom, quickly dashing forward to avoid Loki's iron bar, then leaping up and placing his right hand on Loki's chest.

"What—whoaaaaaah!"

Loki let out a scream as his body was blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground.

"it hurts!"

The moment he landed, Loki clutched his chest and screamed, a little blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

They're really tough-skinned.

Dylan couldn't help but sigh.

Even with the outward release of Armament Haki and the shockwave from the Eight-Punch Fist, it didn't cause him any serious damage?
Roya's smile deepened.

Loki is indeed a born monster.

Eight years ago, the little brat Loki could send a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral flying in his demon form with a single blow. Now, after eight years, it's no exaggeration to say that this kid's strength in direct hand-to-hand combat has surpassed the level of the Six Sons and is approaching the level of a disaster.

On paper, he is stronger than Teach, a Mythical Zoan, and Moria, who has mastered Haki!
Of course, this was only on paper. Without even knowing Haki, he was completely powerless against Teach's Hellfire and Moria's silhouette.

What's even more unfortunate is that his opponent at this time was Dylan.

Although he is getting older, his Haki is becoming more and more demonic, and he is approaching the level of Dylan's Armament Haki internal destruction!

At this point, Dylan was undoubtedly a true powerhouse at the level of a Three Calamities General, and a high-ranking executive of the Calamity Corporation!

"So, Loki, are you convinced now?"

Luo Ya said with interest.

Loki, full of energy, stood up, clutching his chest. He gave Dylan a few disgruntled looks, and then...

"Humph!"

He snorted, "It's barely passable."

"Dylan, the rest is up to you."

Luo Ya said with a smile.

"Yes! Boss!"

Dylan nodded seriously.

Loki is a natural monster who is in no way inferior to Barrett and Abel. He is determined to train this boy to be the Boss's right-hand man!

Well, we already have left and right arms, so let's go with the left leg.

"Alright, it's time to go."

Luo Ya stretched.

Before leaving, he turned and looked at the king, who was hanging there and on the verge of death. "I spared your life, you know what to do, right?"

"..."

The king, covered in wounds, could no longer speak; he could only nod slowly and with great difficulty.

"Good! Then this island is mine!"

Well, although it's been destroyed by Loki and is practically worthless, every little bit counts.

"Set sail! Destination: Sphinx!"

We need to clean up the malignant tumors buried in this sea area first.

Oh, and don't forget to submit your article to the New World Times.

Then, the large fleet dispersed.

A giant snail paired with a longship, and small teams set off towards other countries in this sea area.

The main fleet, where the officers were stationed, was targeting the Sphinx.

the next day.

The New World Times newspaper flew across the New World on time, showing everyone the scene of the Kingdom of Pride, which had almost been reduced to ruins.

And so, people finally understood.
"Roya has begun his operation!!"

"Wait! Are those giants? There are several giants around Roja!"

"Could it be! Could it be! He has gained the power of a giant?!"
