One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 267 Thanks to my old friend Im for sending troops! Sky City!

Elbaf is a nation built upon the precious tree Adam.

Almost all the villages are built on tree branches.

Each of these branches is incredibly thick, capable of supporting an entire giant settlement without any difficulty.

But at this moment, the huge tree branch beneath their feet began to tremble!

All of this was simply because of the giants that swarmed in like a tidal wave!

Their numbers were so great that they couldn't be seen in the distance, and their mere presence caused an earthquake.

A rough estimate suggests that they are all in the thousands.

"Is this the Demon Giant?"

Enel stood behind Roya, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "There are so many?"

"Hey! Loki!"

Teach's voice held a hint of surprise, "You didn't say there were this many Demon Giants! Didn't you say many Demon Giants were sent away?"

"but,"

He paused, then asked with some suspicion, "Why are they all old guys?"

These demonized giants have bat wings, horns, and sharp teeth. They are several times larger than ordinary giants and are in no way inferior to the ancient giant race.

But this does not prevent them from aging.

Whether male or female, the vast majority of them have gray hair, wrinkles, and even hunchbacks.

Those giants who were not old were either physically disabled or frail, with a sickly appearance.

"this--"

Loki's pupils trembled, and the muscles in his face tensed instantly. "Are you kidding me?! How could such a thing happen?!"

"Were all the old people turned into demonic giants?"

Donley and Brogy were now absolutely furious.

Almost all the elderly people in Elbaf are here, right?!
asshole! !
"The World Government!! What on earth did they do?!"

The roar almost shook the sky.

call out.

Roya whistled softly.

In that case, combined with Harald's absence, everything becomes quite clear.

Im, did you leave me with such a surprise?
"It seems that the World Government had already moved the young adults and children away before we arrived."

"Has this country already been abandoned by them?" Roya asked.

Right,

The giants who were capable of fighting had long been transformed into demonic giants. Apart from a small number who remained in this country, most of them were sent to the World Government to form a giant legion.

The weaker young Titans, both male and female, were used as breeding tools, continuously producing new generations of Titans for the World Government over the past twenty years.

But now, those young people and children should have already been taken away.

All that's left in Elbaf are the elderly, the weak, and the disabled.

This country is of no value to Im anymore.

Therefore, these old, weak, sick, and disabled people have all been transformed into demonic giants, and now they have become the last surprise left for them.

"asshole!!"

Loki's eyes were almost torn apart by the intense glare of the man, and his teeth were clenched so tightly that blood began to seep from his gums.

The raging Conqueror's Haki was spreading uncontrollably, turning the faces of Teach's several chaotic subordinates pale.

"but,"

Teach stroked his chin. "How could so many people be turned into demonic giants? How is that even possible?"

"The assimilation of the Demon Giant is extremely simple!"

Dorry gritted his teeth, "As long as the two demons can surround another giant from different directions, that giant will be assimilated!"

"Direction?"

Teach turned around in surprise. "You mean if two demonic giants stand in a straight line, and another ordinary giant is between them, then that ordinary giant will also be transformed into a demonic giant?"

Dongli nodded painfully.

"Hiss!! That simple?"

Teach was truly shocked. "In that case, that guy is perfectly capable of turning everyone in the world into puppets he can manipulate?"

The Boss needs to activate his abilities at close range to turn people into ghouls, and they can also resist with their willpower!
"Othello?"

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow.

Isn't this just Othello?

When two pieces of the same color are sandwiched together, the piece of the opposite color in the middle will flip over.

Im's abilities are really interesting.

Isn't this just a ritual?

Just like a magic circle.

"The ability to exaggerate!"

Even Doflamingo couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

As expected, only a Boss, who is also a monster, can deal with such a monster.

"Im!!!"

Like a dying beast, Loki uttered a muffled but hate-filled sound, "I won't let him get away with this!!"

Although he always looked down on those weak giants, he scoffed at Harald's original policy of peaceful development.

However, he still wanted to become the king of Elbaf and lead his people to restore the glory of Elbaf.

And now.

All is gone.

"Stop making threats now, shall we?"

Teach raised his hand and pointed to the swarming demon giants, who were already very close.

"What are we going to do with these guys?!"

"Although they are just some old men and women, their power is not weak after they are demonized, not to mention that there are so many of them!"

"..."

Loki's face suddenly stiffened.

Donald and Brogy's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

They have attacked Elbaf several times and clashed with the demon giants countless times.

Therefore, they are well aware that, at least for now, there is absolutely no way to undo the demonization.

Those whose minds have been completely twisted and turned into demons can never return to their original state.

only.

"kill!!"

Loki nearly ground his teeth to powder. "Kill!!"

For the glory of Elbas!

"Kill them all!!"

Loki roared and raised his warhammer high.

The giants who had not yet jumped off the ship were now almost all weeping.

The original plan was simply to kill a small number of their compatriots who remained in the country, and they were already suffering terribly.

But now, it is all the elders of this country who are now turning into demonic giants and attacking them!

Among them are elders who watched them grow up, or even their parents or grandparents.

Even men like Donald and Brogy were trembling with pain, their tears flowing uncontrollably.

They saw many giants, even the uncles who had watched them grow up.

But they immediately gritted their teeth and shouted, "Kill! To let them live on in such a state is to tarnish their honor as warriors!"

"Let's send them to heaven with the weapons in our hands!!"

"kill!!"

The giants roared.

"Boss!"

Loki turned around, "Don't interfere! Leave it all to me!!"

"Are you sure, Loki?"

Teach said with great interest, "That number is quite astonishing, and even some of the old, weak, sick, and disabled people look quite frightening after being turned into demons."

At least in terms of size, each of these demon giants is no less than Loki.

"This is an internal matter for Elbaf!"

Loki's tone was grave.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Luo Ya smiled and raised his eyebrows. "I was just saying I'd give it a try with my abilities."

"Eh?"

Loki turned around blankly.

"While it's impossible to restore them to their original state, regaining their consciousness might not be too difficult."

Roya said so.

"Boss! I love you so much!!"

Loki even lunged at Roya, seemingly wanting to give him a warm hug.

Luo Ya simply raised his hand, and his dark, domineering hand pressed down in mid-air, directly pinning Loki to the ground.

"Please, Boss!!"

The giants, led by Dorry and Brogy, almost unanimously bowed to Roya. They still had no choice but to rely on this sir!
"In this case."

Luo Ya raised the corner of his mouth.

I feel so embarrassed.

I'm coming!

His eyes instantly reversed from black to white, and his ability was activated!
Almost instantly, an invisible force swept away all the demon giants.

The eyes of all the giants were rapidly turning black.

Regardless of what they were like before, now that they've become Im's lackeys, their willpower is irrelevant.

No one offered the slightest resistance; after a few seconds, everyone's eyes turned the same as Roya's.

They all stopped in their tracks.

"Gudong."

Roya clearly heard the sound of Donli swallowing from behind him.

All the giants, including Loki, stared intently at the demon giants who had stopped in their tracks.

Did you make it?

"what happened!"

Suddenly, an old giant with white hair cried out in surprise, looking around blankly, "What were we doing before?"

“Before, it felt like we were being controlled, and we became completely unlike ourselves!”

Another old woman screamed in terror.

"What's the situation now? Have we returned to normal?"

The dark mass of giants began to discuss the matter with a mixture of fear and apprehension.

"Is this successful?"

Becky couldn't help but exclaim, "That's amazing!"

It only lasted a moment!
"..."

Broggi's eyes widened, and hot tears streamed down his face.

"Hey! You bunch of idiots!!"

Loki quickly got up from the ground, panting heavily, and asked the old men and women with an expectant look, "Is everything back to normal now?"

The panicked giant demons then noticed Loki.

then,

"Prince Loki? You're back!"

"Great! You're finally back!"

"King Harald and his demon-turned warriors escorted all the young men and children away, and now we are the only ones left in this country!"

"If Prince Loki is back, then someone will be able to take charge!"

The giants, both alarmed and delighted, swarmed toward Loki.

"Has everything really recovered?"

Loki only had time to let out a joyful cry before he was engulfed by the surging giant demons.
"Hey! You idiots, get away from me!"

All Luo Ya could hear was his furious voice.

"Great!"

Both Donald and Brogy looked excited.

They all knelt behind Roya, filled with gratitude, and said...

"Boss! Thank you so much!"

"Many thanks!"

All the normal Titan soldiers followed suit and expressed their sincere gratitude.

thank?

Luo Ya raised the corners of his mouth.

Have they really returned to normal?

To be honest, Roya wasn't entirely sure either.

However, he did not specifically manipulate the emotions of these demon giants, so their thoughts remained unchanged.

Let's just pretend they've all returned to normal.

but.

Luo Ya narrowed his eyes.

A large amount of black energy instantly converged towards him.

then.

"Huh! What's going on!"

"Power is surging up!"

"My body is getting stronger!"

"what happened!!"

The giant demons cried out in alarm.

"Boss?"

Teach turned around in surprise and looked at Roya, who was smiling.

Is it possible——

There's a saying, "Old but vigorous," isn't there?

Luo Ya smiled broadly.

When they transformed into demonic giants, they had already been enhanced once. Now, Roya is using his abilities to enhance these giants a second time.

In that case, they should be no different from ordinary demon giant warriors in their prime, right?
Well, Im, thank you for sending troops.

Let's see whose giant army is stronger.

Teach couldn't help but swallow.

In an instant, he turned all the giants into his accomplices, and now he can even enhance their power!

The Boss's abilities have evolved to a terrifying level!
Sure enough, the main theme of this world from now on will be the clash between Boss and Im, these two gods among mortals.

Meanwhile, the giant demons, believing they had returned to normal, were already cheering.

The giants of the Giant Warrior Pirates had already rushed off the ship, eager to join the revelry.

"Ok?"

It was at this moment that Enel suddenly raised his head.

Then the man exclaimed excitedly, "Boss! They're here! Dylan and the others are here!"

"Really?"

Roya also raised his head.

A tiny dot had indeed appeared high in the sky.

"Not bad,"

Roya couldn't help but praise, "Enel, your Observation Haki seems to have reached a very strong level."

Although he hadn't specifically investigated, he hadn't noticed it yet.

Enel couldn't help but curl his lips into a smug smile. "Hehehe! When it comes to Observation Haki, I'm confident I'm second to none!"

His Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability allows him to extend the range of his Observation Haki to a level unimaginable to ordinary people. Even standing here, he can hear sounds from deep space.

"Hahaha! Dylan and the others have finally arrived?"

Hearing Enel's voice, Teach also looked up at the sky, "In that case, our Calamity Company will finally be reunited!"

"We're still missing Moria."

Doflamingo chuckled and interjected, "Speaking of which, it has indeed been a long time since we've been in contact with that guy. What choice will he make?"

"Actually, sometimes,"

Luo Ya said thoughtfully, "I actually hope he makes a choice that will disappoint me."

"It might be quite interesting then."

Teach, Dover, and Becky all broke out in a cold sweat.

Boss, are you looking forward to seeing how Moria will react when he torments Moria for choosing to betray you?

hiss!
Fortunately, I came to pay my respects to him honestly as soon as possible.

The black dot in the sky was rapidly growing larger.

Soon, even the giants who had been cheering fell silent without anyone noticing.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the enormous creature that had descended from the sky.

"What is that?!"

It was an island, a huge island that fell from the sky.

Twenty-five years ago, the city of natural disasters was already quite large, but now, compared to this colossal behemoth that fell from the sky, it was still like the difference between an infant and an adult.

This is a truly colossal object with an estimated diameter of over twenty kilometers!

It was surrounded by a ring of white clouds, from which extended huge propellers, the lower ends of which, not covered by the clouds, revealed metal bases.

A huge glass sphere is embedded in the center of the base, and dazzling electric light jumps within the sphere.

When such a colossal creature descended upon this branch, it was like a giant dark cloud, completely blocking out the sunlight.

The giants stared in disbelief.

Even in Elbaf, where everything is large, this floating island that fell from the sky was indeed excessively large.

“Boss!!”

Three dark figures plummeted from the sky.
