Loki · The Supernovas' Despair!

Elbaf Underworld Treasure Tree Adam Roots

Roy turned around at the sound and saw a huge figure tightly bound by countless heavy Seastone chains in the shadow of Treasure Tree Adam's thick roots.

That was a giant far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!

His entire body was bound by heavy iron chains, and his eyes were sealed with layers of bandages.

He wore a dark, wide-brimmed Viking helmet with thick horns, as if he were a descendant of an ancient Giant Race.

The leftmost horn was firmly secured by a thick covering, highlighting the cruel restriction.

He was dressed in ancient and heavy giant warrior attire:

Dark gloves, thick trousers and boots, and a huge battle belt adorned with a crown and Pirate flag were wrapped around his mountain-like waist.

The oppressive atmosphere, as deep as an abyss, was enough to freeze the air.

It is indeed Loki, the prince of Elbaf, the Elbaf!

Loki

Loki seemed to sense Roy's gaze, and suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, his laughter booming like thunder. "How many years... Haha! It's been so long since I've seen a living person!"

Kid, where did you come from? And that familiar aura you have...

Roy narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery. "The aura you're referring to, is it... Rocks '?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Loki shuddered!

"How... how do you know this name?!" His voice was hoarse and low, filled with disbelief.

"Your aura... you're clearly not even forty years old..."

Roy chuckled, "Hmm~ Maybe it's because I fought with him before?"

The air froze instantly.

Loki's laughter stopped abruptly, and his massive body trembled slightly beneath the chains.

His bandaged eyes seemed to be staring intently at Roy through the darkness.

"You... fought with Rocks?!"

Roy shrugged, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, "And... I won."

Loki remained silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, causing the black mist of the entire Underworld to churn!

"Ha ha!!"

His laughter was filled with madness and excitement, and the chains rattled as they were broken.

"How could that be? You're just a little kid..."

Roy didn't say much, only slightly raised his eyes—

"Boom--!"

The next instant, Conqueror's Haki swept out like a tsunami!

The air in the Underworld collapsed with a deafening roar, black mist churned, and the entire space trembled!

The roots of the Treasure Tree Adam moved without wind, and the Seastone chains binding Loki vibrated loudly!

Loki's laughter abruptly stopped, his massive, godlike body stiffening for the first time. "This Conqueror's Haki... it's even stronger than Rocks' back then?!"

He slowly lowered his head, his voice hoarse and heavy. "Who... exactly are you?"

Roy didn't answer; instead, Flash and instantly appeared in front of Loki.

He gazed at the imprisoned King of the Giants, pointed to the sky, and said, "Loki, are you interested in getting out of this hellhole...?"

"Then..."

"Shoot it up?"

The air seemed to freeze completely at that moment.

Loki's heavy breathing sounded like Thunderclap in the silence, and the clattering of the chains seemed to echo his heartbeat.

After a long silence, he lowered his mountain-like head, his voice low and mad. "Humans... do you know what's up there?"

Roy grinned. "Of course I know."

That's why we need to fight.

Loki's lips slowly parted into a grin, and deep within his bandaged eyes, a crimson light seemed to burn.

"Interesting..."

Sabaody Archipelago - Marine Temporary Detention Center

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the streets of Sabaody, dappling everything with a golden hue.

However, the "Supernovas" being dragged along by Seastone chains felt only a grayness in the world.

"These Supernovas... are a bit weak."

Ace, hands in his pockets, spoke with disappointment, and casually kicked Kid was lying on the ground, furious and powerless.

"Yes!"

Luffy squatted down next to Urouge and poked his swollen face with his finger. "You collapsed before you even exerted any strength!"

"Hey!!"

Nami couldn't help but facepalm and sigh, "That's because you guys are too strong! Who in their right mind can compare to monsters like you!"

"That's amazing!"

Tashigi's eyes lit up. "Is this the strength of Marine Headquarters commanders?! They truly are the legendary monster unit!"

"Tch—" Smoker, Cigar in his mouth, exhaled a thick cloud of white smoke and snorted coldly.

"You two have been taken all over the New World by Roy since you were little, and you've even been through several battles against the Four Emperors..."

"If you can't even handle a few minor Supernovas, you might as well go home and drink your milk!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of Kid, Killer, Urouge, Bege, Apoo, and Hawkins, who were tied up in a pile, instantly turned deathly pale!

"These guys... have been fighting in the New World since they were kids?!"

"He even participated in a battle at the level of Four Emperors)?!"

Kid's arms trembled uncontrollably, and his throat felt constricted, preventing him from making a sound.

"The Four Emperors... those are monsters that stand atop the highest peaks of the sea!"

Bege's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, his lips trembling. "No wonder... no wonder that boy could send Urouge flying with a single punch..."

"No wonder that woman could summon natural disasters..."

"They... they're not human at all, they're monsters!!"

Hawkins, head bowed, face ashen, eyes vacant, said, "How could someone of this caliber possibly escape..."

The air around them suddenly became heavy, and even the creaking of the chains seemed grating.

Smoker glanced at the sky, smoke slowly escaping from his lips, and said calmly, "I'll take them back to headquarters first. What about you guys? Any plans?"

"I want to eat meat!!"

Luffy immediately raised his hands, his stomach growling loudly, the sound echoing throughout the entire street.

"Really..." Ace smiled helplessly and patted his younger brother's shoulder.

"Then I'll go back with Uncle Smoker. Nami, you take Luffy around Sabaody..."

He paused, then added meaningfully, "Keep an eye on him."

Nami rolled her eyes, but still nodded with a soft sigh, "Okay... I'll keep an eye on this idiot."

As the sun set, the golden afterglow cast long shadows of everyone, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Shortly after Smoker and Ace set sail with their Warships, an uninvited guest arrived at Island 1 in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Tap--tap--tap--"

At the end of the street came the piercing sound of leather boots.

A large, bloated figure slowly appeared, riding on the back of a dying slave.

The slave was covered in blood, his skin was bluish-purple, he staggered, and his breathing was weak, as if he would collapse at any moment.

The man riding on him had an oily face, a snotty nose hanging from his thick lips, and his body was trembling slightly, exuding an air of condescending arrogance.

He wore an extravagant bubble helmet, and his face was full of greedy and lewd smiles.

The residents on both sides of the street changed their expressions instantly when they saw the bubble helmet!

Fear, panic, and oppression... A murmur arose in the crowd, then quickly receded like a tide.

Wherever he went, everyone knelt down, no one daring to raise their head, for fear of being stared at by that high and mighty being.

"It's... Celestial Dragons!!"

Amidst suppressed gasps of astonishment, the obese man swayed his body, seemingly enjoying the feeling of everyone retreating in fear.

He licked his lips, his voice thick with nasal resonance, tinged with excitement and lewdness:

"Phew... it's been so long since I've been out and about..."

"Let's choose a new wife today--"
