Loki's Conqueror's Haki! Target: Sphinx

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A burst of laughter, tinged with childishness, exploded 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 what could have driven this monster to possess such a massive size, nearly thirty meters tall?

Simply running brought about an unprecedented disaster.

The hardened ground cracked underfoot, and the sturdy houses were instantly smashed to pieces.

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

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

Roa sat cross-legged on Loki's helmet, his hand supporting his chin, 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 wield 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 ramming into a door.

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

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

No building could stop him in the slightest; 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.

Only.

"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 possibly penetrate the strong and resilient bodies of the Ancient Giant Tribe?

"Oh! That place is so beautiful!"

Loki's gaze suddenly stopped in the center of the city, where there stood a magnificent cluster of buildings.

That is the royal palace of this country.

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

Meanwhile, inside the royal palace...

"Has the Calamity Roa 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 at a glance that he had recently suffered severe psychological torment.

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

And when the monsters actually started dividing 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.

Now that the monster has finally arrived, he feels a sense of relief.

But why a giant?

How could the Calamity Company be associated with the Giants?

Could it be -

A terrifying thought began to surface in his mind.

This sea area is really not far from Elbaf.

However, he sighed again in an instant. What was the point?

This country is finished.

It's all over.

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

At the same time.

Boom!

That was the roar of a giant foot stomping on the ground, shattering the solid earth.

Boom!

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

Boom!

This was the sound of a cannonball hurtling from the palace walls and exploding on Loki's chest.

"Ha ha ha ha."

That was Loki's loud laughter.

"That's tough enough."

This is Roa's exclamation of admiration 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 one used an extremely sharp attack, like one had done back then, to break through his defenses, there was practically no way to deal with him.

Yeah, 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 such a monster exist in the world? No matter how I 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, begin 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. He immediately stumbled back a few steps.

Blood was gushing from his chest; 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 attacker.

"Oh?"

Roa watched the man with great interest. He was a young man clad in armor and wielding a knight's sword, who was glaring up at them with gritted teeth.

He's probably some kind of knight commander, right?

Roa thought, "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 quick; he leaped into the air and dodged Loki's attack.

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

What terrifying power!

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

But now there's no time to hesitate!

The longsword in his hand was stained with black, and he thrust it directly at Loki.

Unfortunately, Loki was faster.

Or rather, this man wasn't fast enough.

"Go to hell!"

Like swatting a fly, her left hand, which had been pressing on her wound, suddenly moved faster and slapped the man across the face.

Kara!

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.

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

Um?

He looks quite a bit like that knight from earlier; are they father and son?

"Enough! The Calamity Roa!"

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

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

Roa gave a very easygoing reply.

The Ochoku stunned.

When did he refuse?

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

Is that all?

"You're the boss now, right?"

Loki grinned and extended his hand to the king.

"Don't use too much force, Loki. He's still useful as long as he's alive," Roa cautioned.

Later.

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

That's really exaggerated!

Bege, perched on the snail's head, looked around as his lips grew dry. "One person, all by themselves, almost destroyed this city 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 Paradise of building blocks, right?"

Teach laughed heartily.

His smile also seemed a little stiff.

This is getting more and more outrageous, Calamity Company.

If things continue to develop this way, who in the world can stop Roa?

Could it be that by the time that fruit appears, Roa will have already conquered the entire world, rendering it completely useless?

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

"Yes, very good."

Roa nodded in satisfaction. "This 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 ceiling as if teasing a Nezumi, chimed in, "I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"What a playful child!"

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

"That would be a waste!"

Loki snorted, "What use are these weaklings?"

Is it a waste?

Dorry, who had been quietly serving as a background figure, twitched the corner of his mouth.

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

While comforting the child, Roa turned to look at the two backdrops. "Dorry, 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 nations 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 reported 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?

"Good."

The two mercenaries nodded.

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

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

"Special? How special?"

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

"That's right!"

Roa laughed and said, "There's a super monster 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?"

Roa Ya gave the kid a once-over. "You're still a long way from it. Your most important task right now is to quickly learn how to use Haki."

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.

Roa himself started learning Haki around the same age back then.

When it comes to learning Haki style...

"Dylan, it's yours now."

"Roa said."

"Yes, Boss."

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

He's the top coach at the Calamity Company; he taught Bullet, Abel, and Moria their Haki, and even Roa himself.

"What?"

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

"How arrogant!"

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

"Snort."

Bullet responded with a cold laugh.

Even they held Dylan in high regard.

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

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

"I see."

Roa nodded slightly. "Dylan, show us."

Yes, Boss.

Without hesitation, Dylan stepped forward and stood before Loki.

Looking up at the giant who resembled 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 you should just 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 had been hit by that blow, he would have been dead for good.

Even when he's hiding inside a rock, the shockwave from a powerful attack will make him very uncomfortable!

Thank goodness I didn't provoke that guy!

But.

"You dodged it?"

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

"Too slow."

Dylan spoke calmly, "To a master of Observation Haki, your attack is nothing more than childish play."

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 the blink of an eye, he destroyed the nearby ruins even more thoroughly. The earth crumbled, and rubble flew everywhere. He destroyed everything in his sight like a monster.

Only.

"Too slow."

Dylan calmly dodged each of Loki's attacks.

However, at the same time, Dylan couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly powerful Prince Loki was!

In terms of pure physical strength, he is already completely 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.

"I'll satisfy you."

Dylan stopped dodging and launched himself directly at the iron bar that Loki was slamming down.

"Hahaha! 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.

Buzz!

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 surge from the spiked club, and his body involuntarily staggered backward, eventually collapsing to the ground with a thud on his backside.

"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 Roa, but does this guy even dare to act arrogantly in front of him?

"What?! What?! What a joke?!"

With a furious roar, Loki leaped into the air, his iron rod slamming down on Dylan's head once more.

Who do you think I am?!

Amidst the roar, an invisible wave of energy 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!!"

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

Roa 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.

Hey Teach, do you even have Conqueror's Haki?

Bullet nodded slightly.

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

Abel, however, seemed somewhat disappointed.

Another Conqueror's Haki has appeared, why doesn't he have one?

Is it because he lacks ambition?

But.

"Even Conqueror's Haki is useless now."

Dylan was like a phantom, swiftly dodging Loki's iron bar, then leaping up with his right hand already on Loki's chest.

"What?! Waaaaaah!"

Loki let out a scream as he 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.

The combined Armament Haki and the shockwave from the Hasshoken didn't cause him any serious damage?

Roa's smile deepened.

He truly is a born monster, Loki.

Eight years ago, the little brat Loki could Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral flying in his Wailing Ghost with a single blow. Now, eight years later, 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, Mythical Zoan, and Moria, who has mastered Haki!

Of course, this was only on paper; without even Haki, he was utterly powerless against Teach's Hellfire and Moria's silhouette.

Even more unfortunately, his opponent at this time was Dylan.

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

At this point, Dylan was undoubtedly a true powerhouse at the level of All-Stars Sweet Commander, a high-ranking executive of the Calamity Company!

"So, Loki, are you convinced now?"

Roa said with great interest.

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

"Snort!"

He snorted, "Barely passable."

"Dylan, the rest is up to you."

Roa said with a smile.

"Yes, Boss!"

Dylan nodded seriously.

Loki is a natural monster who is in no way inferior to Bullet and Abel, and 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."

Roa stretched.

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

"..."

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

"Good! Then this island is mine!"

Well, although Loki has destroyed it to the point of being worthless, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

"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, commanded by the officers, was targeting the Sphinx.

The next day.

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

And so, people finally realized,

"Roa has begun his operation!!"

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

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