With his height advantage of over sixty meters and his powerful Observation Haki, Loki took in the shocking scene unfolding in the mortal realm.
All the awakened giants, no matter where they were, turned their heads in unison after standing up, looking in his direction.
Loki's heart skipped a beat.
He also possesses powerful Observation Haki. The moment these giants awoke, he not only detected their aura fluctuations but also heard the voices from the depths of their hearts!
At this moment, these giants were not bewildered; instead, they all called out the same name.
--The Sun God.
Clearly, Akira's Observation Haki not only awakened them, but also conveyed the same message to every giant, subtly altering their thoughts and perceptions!
really!
Before Loki could recover from the silent shock, the dozen or so giants closest to them, after fully regaining their senses and looking in their direction, instantly displayed an almost fanatical worship on their faces.
Their massive bodies trembled slightly, not from fear, but from excitement.
" Sun God!"
A giant warrior was the first to voice the sentiment from his heart.
As the warrior shouted, more giant warriors joined in.
" Sun God!"
"It's the Sun God!"
In an instant, the words " Sun God " resounded throughout Elbaf, making the leaves of the surrounding trees tremble.
Akira smiled and gestured, ignoring the giant prince's turbulent emotions behind him, and strode forward.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
As Akira stepped out, the giants who had been shouting wildly just moments before suddenly fell silent the moment they saw Akira approaching.
Immediately afterwards, their tall bodies automatically parted to the sides, making way for Akira.
They stood tall, like the most loyal guards, welcoming their deity with an almost reverent posture.
More and more giants gathered from all directions. They made no noise or crowds, but silently and quickly stood on both sides of the road, straightened their bodies, suppressed their fervor, and transformed it into the highest respect.
Hancock, Mihawk, Yamato, and the others exchanged glances upon witnessing this visually striking scene, then silently and quickly followed.
They were the Marshal's entourage and the first witnesses to this miracle.
Loki's massive body stiffened for a moment, but he eventually started walking, stopping and starting, staying close behind the group.
Surprisingly, none of the giants who regained consciousness cast even the slightest glance at this cursed prince.
There was no contempt, no anger, not even hatred.
It was as if he didn't exist.
All eyes were focused on the not-so-tall figure at the very front.
As Loki followed Akira and his group past the giants who had spontaneously lined both sides of the road, the giants who had been standing in neat rows on either side moved and turned to follow Loki.
In the distance, giants emerged one after another from villages, fields, and forests, like rivers flowing into the sea, spontaneously rushing towards Akira, converging into an endless torrent that surged toward the Owl Library.
at the same time.
On the towering tree in Xicun, Elder Yaruru and a group of warriors watched from afar as the densely packed giants gathered behind Akira.
After a long while, Yaruru's tense body suddenly relaxed, and he let out a sigh of relief before collapsing weakly to the ground, muttering, "To win without bloodshed, to subdue the enemy without fighting!"
"That's truly an unbelievable method."
With this Marshal at the helm, the navy is poised for another century of prosperity.
After a moment of reflection, a look of worry flashed across Yaruru's face, and he turned his head to look towards the Red Line.
As an elder of the Giant Kingdom, how could he not know that a king existed at the summit of the Red Line, who had controlled the World Government behind the scenes for eight hundred years?
Now that the Navy has produced a remarkable King, the World Government, with its two Kings checking and balancing each other, may be heading towards a bright future.
But it's also possible that one day in the future—
The king does not meet the king.
The moment Akira, with the endless torrent of giants behind him, stepped into the square in front of the library.
The entire square fell silent instantly.
The giants, who had been gathered together, including Sauron and Lipri, unconsciously straightened their bodies at this moment.
Luffy, Zoro, Ace, and all the other trainees fell silent at that moment.
As they watched the figure stroll leisurely through the giant forest, smiles appeared on their faces simultaneously.
This is their Marshal.
Even with just a group of interns, he could sweep everything away!
Akira weaved through the crowd, looked around, and finally stopped in front of Rayleigh and Gaban, smiling at them. "From now on, Elbaf will be under my command. Do you two have any objections?"
Rayleigh's lips twitched slightly.
Opinion?
He's an old man, how could he dare to have any objections!
Let alone who takes over Elbaf, it's none of his business. Even if it were, what opinions could he possibly have in the face of this monster?
Gaban's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he was horrified to find that he couldn't utter a single word when facing the young Marshal.
It wasn't just the overwhelming pressure from Akira that made it so difficult, but also the fact that things had come to this point and anything he said would be useless.
Just then, Hancock suddenly ran up to Shakky and exclaimed excitedly, " Shakky, what brings you here too!"
Shakky glanced at the radiant Hancock and said calmly, "Why can't I come? For years, I've lived in the Sabaody Archipelago for fear of attracting the attention of the Navy's high command, afraid to leave easily. Now, with you as my backer, my actions are no longer restricted!"
"Huh?" Hancock blinked, looking confused. "What do you mean? Was this the reason you didn't leave Sabaody Archipelago before? You and Rayleigh were able to leave Sabaody because of my husband?"
"??"
Shakky's head was filled with question marks as she asked in surprise, "Husband? You... you're married?"
Hancock shook her head, blushed, and leaned close to Shakky's ear, feigning shyness, and said mysteriously, "It's a step further than marriage!"
"Ah?"
Shakky froze again, then looked down at Hancock's stomach, "She's pregnant?"
Hancock shook her head again, "One step away from getting pregnant!"
Although Hancock and Shakky were speaking very softly, almost in whispers, Rayleigh, standing next to them, didn't hear them clearly. However, he still spoke up in time to remind them, "You can talk later. It's not just my Observation Haki's strong here; be careful someone doesn't overhear!"
As he spoke, Rayleigh gestured toward Gaban, his face practically screaming, "That old bastard is wicked."
