Say Hello! Goodbye, Loki!

As Roa arrived in Elbaf, many people around the world received the news.

In Mary Geoise, the Five Elders of the Meeting Kings held another meeting.

"The Calamity Company fleet was spotted in the waters near Beehive Island, and it appears to be heading towards Elbaf!"

"Should I say, he truly lives up to his reputation as Rocks' successor? Just like that bastard Rocks, he's set his sights on the power of Elbaf!"

"Harald may be arrogant, but his strength is truly extraordinary! He's almost on par with that Rocks guy! That damned brat won't succeed so easily!"

"But he's Roa! Roa who has never failed since his debut! What if, I mean, what if, he really does obtain the power of a giant—."

The spacious conference room fell silent instantly.

At the same time, the Neo Marine Headquarters...

Admiral Sengoku, who was preparing for another round of "victory," also received news from headquarters.

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

Elbatian is New Marineford, and the route passes through the territories of many monsters, making it impossible for the navy to reach it.

One can only pray that Roa doesn't actually manage to subdue Elbaf.

Harald, it's all up to you!

After that, Totto Land.

"Mother, Mother! Is that boy finally back? And the first thing he did was target Elbaf!"

Charlotte Linlin was furiously talking to a giant cake, "But Harald isn't so easy to deal with!"

Having lived in Elbaf and, for decades afterward, silently observed the Giant Kingdom, Charlotte Linlin was naturally more aware of the Giant Kingdom power than many others.

"Mother, Mother! Roa, I'll see how you get out of this!"

While gloating, she also urged someone else, "My children! Hurry up! After conquering this sea area, we can go to the South Blue! We can bring back that descendant of the Bakaria Tribe!"

Before they parted ways last time, Roa had already told her where the last descendant of the Bakaria Tribe was.

She was already eagerly anticipating giving birth to a Bakaria Tribe child!

Oh! I really miss those days!

Looking towards the vast island in the distance, Roa said with a touch of melancholy, "It's been eight years since I last came here, hasn't it? So much time has passed in the blink of an eye."

The captain was still alive back then, but now his ashes have vanished somewhere.

He missed Dorry and Brogy even more than he did.

Just looking at the giant tree on that distant island caused their cheeks to twitch slightly, and tears welled up in their eyes.

It's been a full seventy years since I last came back.

Although I felt like I was fighting for honor in the Little Garden and it wasn't a big deal, it was more like the fate of a warrior.

But when I actually saw my hometown again, a strong sense of longing suddenly welled up in my heart.

This is where they were born and raised, the place they came from, and the place they will return to.

Only-

The two of them lowered their heads in perfect unison, looking at Roa, who was standing on the snail's head, sighing deeply.

What will be the outcome of this return?

But this guy actually came to Elbaf?

"Is this Elbaf?"

Teach excitedly took out his binoculars and carefully observed the distant island.

"Hahaha! What a huge tree! Adam Tree, truly lives up to its name!"

"But what's with that sword? It's way too big!"

Bege strained to see ahead, and when she saw the enormous longsword that had pierced through the two canopies of the Adam Tree and was now embedded diagonally into the earth below, she couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"Could anyone really wield such a massive weapon? Even the Ancient Giant Tribe wouldn't be qualified!"

The Ancient Giant Tribe might not be enough.

However, this might not be the case if the Giant race, or even the Ancient Giant Tribe, were combined with the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika.

The Sun God in the legends of the giants should be the first Nika.

"The World's Strongest nation, that's something to look forward to!"

Moria muttered to himself.

Since following Roa, he has seen quite a bit of the world.

But the Giant Kingdom, this mysterious country, still held a great allure for him.

Be careful.

Roa laughed and said, "This country is inhabited by monsters."

Harald is a powerful figure even the captain acknowledges.

Even in my current state, I doubt I could defeat him.

"No matter what kind of enemy we face, as long as Boss gives the order, we will never hesitate!"

Behind Roa, Bullet spoke earnestly.

"Hahaha! What are we waiting for!"

Roa waved his hand triumphantly, "Move the boat closer!"

Uh, no, that's not right.

"Move the snail closer!"

So the Snail Fleet rumbled forward again, and in no time it approached the huge island.

Only then did everyone feel the immense pressure emanating from the island.

Especially the enormous Adam Tree, which stood tall and straight, its dense canopy almost completely blocking out the sky.

That's outrageous!

Doflamingo looked up, his mouth agape in shock, his jaw almost turning white. "How are the people living under such a huge tree? Doesn't it completely block out the sunlight?"

"Um?"

Roa Yayi glanced back slightly, "Didn't I say? Elbaf lives in the trees."

"Ah!!"

It can only be said that this country is extremely mysterious to outsiders.

Even though Harald has been working to establish communication between the Giant Kingdom and overseas regions for many years, the world's poor transportation and people's fear of giants have not yielded significant results.

News from within Elbaf remains largely a secret to those outside the country.

In any case, the large fleet had already approached the coast. Since it came from the direction of Beehive Island, the area the large fleet had reached was the same port that Roa had arrived at when he came to Elbaf with Rocks.

"I really miss those days."

Roa couldn't help but sigh again.

However, what happened next is not something to reminisce about.

Rewind a few minutes, just like eight years ago when you spotted the Rocks Pirates' ship at a glance.

Eight years later, the giants stationed at this port also spotted the Giant Snail surging towards them from the sea.

Although they are not as famous Rocks Pirates back in the day, there should be no one in the New World who doesn't know what these snails represent.

"That, that's... the Germa Kingdom's great fleet!"

"It's Roa! The Calamity Roa has arrived! It really is him!"

"They've finally arrived! Quickly inform His Majesty Harald!!"

Recently, the monsters that have divided up the New World are expanding their territory without any restraint!

The New World Times newspaper carries news every day about which country the Golden Lion has conquered, or which island Kaido has occupied.

There was activity in almost every sea area, except for the region where Elbaf was located.

And coincidentally, Roa had not yet taken any action, so everyone knew that he had chosen this area.

And now, this guy has finally arrived!

He came with the goal of conquering Elbaf!

We must not let him get away with this!

While contacting the royal palace, the giants hurriedly grabbed their weapons and rushed onto the dock to prevent the group from attacking Elbaf by force. Thus, when the Snail Fleet approached, what Roa saw was a group of giants on guard at the port.

"Calamity Roa! Halt! Elbaf, you are not welcome!"

The giants roared with all their might.

"Um?"

Roa raised an eyebrow slightly. "Isn't this too much discrimination? Weren't you quite casual with Captain Rocks back then?"

Although the captain and Harald the Giant King were good friends, he was also good friends with the next Giant King, Loki.

"Boss! I'll do it!"

Bullet said eagerly.

Although Abel was very close to Elbaf, he ultimately missed the landing operation.

So, it's time for him to show his skills!

"Etc!"

At this moment, Brogy, the giant behind them, spoke in a deep voice, "Don't do anything rash!"

"That's right, we'll talk to them!"

Dorry quickly nodded in agreement.

Both of them were very clear that these ordinary giant warriors alone could not possibly stop Roa.

They must minimize the losses to the country.

"That would be wonderful!"

Roa nodded happily, "What are you waiting for?"

Bringing these two guys back from the Paradise all that way, didn't that serve its purpose?

Dorry and Brogy stepped forward, with Dorry shouting first, "Wait! Don't make any rash moves! You're no match for these guys!"

"That's right! Contact Harald and tell him to come down and handle this immediately!"

Brogy loudly echoed his sentiment.

Then.

"There are giants who have actually defected to the Calamity Company!"

The giants in the harbor were instantly enraged. "You two scum of the giant race! How dare you bark like dogs here?"

"It's definitely not a Titan from Elbaf! How could a Titan warrior from Elbaf be so spineless!"

"That's right! They're giants from the South Blue! Just like that woman, Ida! That race of giants is weak! Many of them have joined the Navy!"

The giants did not recognize Dorry and Brogy at all.

Roa subconsciously turned around and looked at Dorry and Brogy.

The two giants who had just boasted froze.

No, they've only been gone for seventy years. There shouldn't be that many new generation Titans who haven't seen them, right?

How could you not recognize me?

"Look carefully!"

Dorry patted his chubby chest, "I'm Dorry! Dorry of the Giant Soldier Pirates!"

"I am Brogy!"

Brogy, standing beside him, shouted, his fat face trembling, "We're back!"

Then.

"Who are you kidding! Do you two fat pigs think we're idiots?"

"That's right! How could we not know what Brother Dorry and Brother Brogy look like?"

"Roa! You guys are too despicable! You actually hired someone to impersonate Brother Dorry and Brother Brogy!"

The giants were filled with righteous indignation, and their weapons trembled.

Both Dorry and Brogy were instantly stunned.

Is this considered respecting them or disrespecting them?

Roa was also starting to lose his composure.

Isn't this a classic case of shooting oneself in the foot?

You've been able to eat to your heart's content during this time.

There's really no way around it.

Roa stepped forward, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "Let's say hello then."

"Roa! Wait!"

The two giants' expressions changed drastically, and they tried to stop them, but it was too late.

The Crimson Blade was slightly drawn from its sheath.

Boom!

A thunderclap suddenly erupted!

Crimson lightning suddenly shot into the sky, like wildly dancing dragons, Air Shock.

The two giants suddenly felt a sharp sound in their heads, as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer.

"Conqueror's Haki!!"

Dorry's expression changed drastically.

Brogy was equally incredulous, "This level of Conqueror's Haki?"

What kind of monster is this human?!

How could his spirit be so strong!

In their era when they roamed the seas, they had never even encountered a monster of this caliber!

The sea was surging, and the air was trembling. Fortunately, he had concentrated his Conqueror's Haki using his willpower; otherwise, guys like Doflamingo, Bege, and Enel would not have been able to withstand it, and even the Titans on the distant coast would have been affected.

At that moment, the Conqueror's Haki that had been gathered into Inazuma bent in mid-air, instantly sweeping past the second canopy of the Adam Tree, and crashing down with perfect accuracy towards the enormous castle.

Boom!

The moment the crimson Inazuma struck the ground, the entire castle trembled violently.

"Um?"

Inside the castle, the enormous man suddenly raised his head, "You brat! Can't wait to announce your arrival to me?"

"Fighting in the mortal realm would be too troublesome. Let them wait in the underworld! I'm going down there right now!"

On the sea.

"This! This!"

Looking at Roa's back, surrounded by lightning, Teach exclaimed with fervor, "Truly worthy of being the Boss! Such power! It's astonishing!!"

So powerful, so extraordinary!

If I can't get that coveted fruit, it doesn't seem so bad to stay under this man's spell for the rest of my life!

Enel was utterly stunned and speechless.

Is this... Conqueror's Haki?

That's amazing!

Even the slightest aftershock made his whole body feel numb!

Unbeknownst to the astonished crowd, Roa, with his back to them, also wore a look of relief.

Fortunately, the castle was quite close by, otherwise his Observation Haki might not have been able to lock onto it.

I'm strong in both Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, but I'm lacking in Observation Haki.

Just then, a giant's roar echoed from the shore, "Halt! Roa! His Majesty Harald has granted you permission to land! He will meet you in the Underworld!"

The underworld?

The lowest layer of permafrost?

How stingy Harald is! He won't even invite us to sit in the palace?

Oh well, it's good that we were able to meet.

With a casual gesture, Roa sheathed the Tiger Soul sword and waved his hand with a smile, "Then let's land."

He thought for a moment, "The main fleet can stay here; one snail will suffice."

If we were to fight Harald later, the scene would be enormous, and if we were to bring the entire fleet along, it would suffer tremendous destruction.

So, the Giant Snail carrying all the cadres broke away from the group and landed directly on the legendary island.

Is it a winter island? It's so cold!

Doflamingo immediately shuddered.

"So, this is the real Giant Kingdom?"

Bege tilted her head back, gazing up at the dense canopy of trees above.

Roa lowered his head and looked at the giants standing to the side, their faces grim.

"Come with us!"

The giants bluntly uttered these words, ignoring Roa's reaction, and turned to walk into the snowstorm, heading deeper into the island.

Roa smiled, not minding at all, and let the Giant Snail follow.

Because the underworld of Elbaf never sees the sun, the temperature is extremely low, and it is covered in snow all year round, creating a silver-white world.

The combination of these creatures and the enormous beasts that occasionally leap out adds a unique flavor to the scene.

Roa, who had never been here before, found the place quite interesting and treated it like a tourist trip.

Soon after, the giants led Roa and his companions to a settlement located on a snowfield, where there were several "huts" that were far too large for humans to be considered human.

"This is it! His Majesty Harald is descending from the mortal realm!"

The giants spoke stiffly to Roa.

As Roa nodded slightly.

Only.

The door to one of the huts was pushed open, and an enormous, somewhat ridiculously large imp emerged from behind it.

Who is it?

The giants leading the way instantly changed their expressions, "Prince Loki!"

What a terrible coincidence!

What's with this lord playing around in the underworld today!

When His Majesty the King is not away, doesn't he usually stay in the mortal realm?

Roa suddenly smiled.

"Hey, it's been a long time, my good friend."
