Thanks to Imu for Sending Over the Troops! Sky City!

Elbaf is a nation founded on the Adam Tree.

Almost all the villages were built on tree branches.

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

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

It was all because of that horde of giants that surged in like a tidal wave!

Their numbers were so great that they seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see; their mere proximity caused an earthquake.

A rough calculation shows that they are all in the thousands.

"Is this the Demon Giant?"

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

"Hey! Loki!"

Teach's voice carried 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 Tribe.

However, this does not prevent them from aging. Whether male or female, the vast majority of them have white hair, wrinkles, and many even have hunched backs.

Even those giants who weren't old were either physically disabled or frail, with a sickly appearance.

"This-"

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

"Were all the old people turned into Demon Giant?"

Dorry and Brogy were now visibly furious. Almost all the elderly people in Elbaf must be here!

Asshole!!

"The World Government!! What on earth did they do?!"

The roar almost shook the sky.

Call out.

Roa whistled softly.

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

Imu, did you leave me with such a surprise?

"It seems the World Government had already relocated the young adults and children before we arrived."

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

That's right. The giants with fighting power had long been transformed into Demon Giant. 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 remained in Elbaf were the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled.

This country holds no value for Imu anymore.

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

"Asshole!!"

Loki's eyes were almost torn apart by Teach's glaring expression. His teeth were clenched so tightly that blood began to seep from his gums. His violent Conqueror's Haki was spreading uncontrollably, making Teach's few scraggly subordinates turn pale.

"But,"

Teach stroked his chin. "How could so many people be turned into Demon Giant? 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 a specific position, that giant will be assimilated!"

"In terms of location?"

Teach turned around, somewhat puzzled. "So, if two Demon Giant stand in a straight line, and another ordinary giant stands between them, then that ordinary giant will also be transformed into Demon Giant?"

Dorry nodded painfully.

"Wow!! That's easy?"

Teach was truly shocked. "If that's the case, then 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 a person into a demon, and they can also resist with their willpower!

Reversi?

Roa 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.

Imu's abilities are really interesting.

Isn't this basically 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.

"Imu!!!!"

Loki, like a dying beast, 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 was even more dismissive of 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.

Everything is gone.

"Stop making threats now, shall we?"

Teach raised his hand, pointing to the swarming Demon Giant, who were very close by.

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

"Although they are just some old men and women, their power after being demonized is not weak, not to mention their sheer number!"

Loki's face suddenly stiffened.

Dorry and Brogy had tears welling up in their eyes instantly.

They have attacked Elbaf several times and clashed with the Demon Giant 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.

And now, it is all the elders of this country who are now attacking them in the form of Demon Giant!

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

Even men like Dorry 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, "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?"

"That's quite an astonishing number," Teach said with great interest. "And even some of the old, weak, and disabled, after being turned into demons, look quite frightening."

At least in terms of size, each of these Demon Giant was no less imposing than Loki.

This is an internal matter for Elbaf!

Loki's tone was grave.

"Oh? Is that so?"

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

"Error?"

Loki turned around, bewildered.

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

That's what Roa said.

"Boss! I love you so much!!"

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

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

"Please, Boss!!"

The giants, represented by Dorry and Brogy, almost all bowed to Roa.

We still have no choice but to rely on this sir!

"In that case..."

Roa raised the corners of his mouth.

I feel so embarrassed.

Here it comes!

His eyes instantly switched from black to white—his ability activated!

Almost instantly, an invisible force swept away all the Demon Giant.

The eyes of all the giants were rapidly turning black.

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

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

They all stopped in their tracks.

"Gulp."

Roa clearly heard the sound of Dorry swallowing from behind him.

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

Was it successful?

"What happened!"

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

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

Another old woman screamed in terror.

"What's going on 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 a success?"

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

It only lasted a moment!

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

"Hey! You idiots!!"

Loki quickly scrambled to his feet, panting heavily, and asked the elderly men and women with an expectant look, "Is everything back to normal now?"

The panicked Demon Giant 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; 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 managed a joyful cry before being engulfed by the Demon Giant pushing their way in. "Hey! You idiots, get away from me!"

All Roa could hear was his furious voice.

"Very good!"

Both Dorry and Brogy looked equally excited.

They all knelt behind Roa, saying gratefully, "Boss! Thank you so much!"

Thank you so much!

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

Thank?

Roa's lips curled into a smile.

Have they really returned to normal?

To be honest, Roa 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.

Roa 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 Demon Giant cried out in alarm.

"Boss?"

Teach turned around and looked at Roa, who was smiling.

Could it be that there's a saying, "Old but vigorous," isn't there?

Roa smiled broadly.

Having already been enhanced once when they transformed into Demon Giant, Roa is now using his abilities to give these giants a second enhancement.

In that case, even compared to ordinary Demon Giant warriors in their prime, they shouldn't be much different, right?

Well, Imu, thank you for sending troops.

Let's see whose giant army is stronger.

Teach couldn't help but swallow.

In an instant, he transformed all the giants into his own demons, 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 Imu, these two gods among mortals.

Meanwhile, the Demon Giant, believing they had returned to normal, were already cheering.

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

"Um?"

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!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Roa also raised his head.

High, high in the sky, a small dot had indeed appeared. "Not bad,"

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

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

Enel couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth upwards, his smile slightly smug. "Hehehe! In terms of Observation Haki, I'm confident I'm second to none!"

His Rumble-Rumble Fruit 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 the depths of 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,"

Roa said thoughtfully, "I actually hope he makes a choice that disappoints me."

"That might be quite interesting."

Teach, Doflamingo, Bege all broke out in a cold sweat.

Boss, are you looking forward to seeing how Moria reacts when he chooses to betray us?

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.

The Calamity City was already quite large twenty-five years ago, but 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 enormous propellers, their lower ends, not covered by clouds, revealing their metal bases.

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

When this enormous 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 Sky Island that fell from the sky was indeed excessively large.

"Boss!!"

Three dark figures plummeted rapidly from the sky.
