"Are these guys all your crew?"
"They're really strong!"
Loki looked at the powerful figures from the Goa Empire, Observation Haki allowed him to clearly sense the strength of characters like Wang Shi, Aramaki, and Issho.
This lineup seems even more terrifying than the Rocks Pirates who stormed Elbaf back then!
"These are my crew members, and those are my allies."
"The Goa Empire, currently ruled by the Wang Shi, is known as the World's Strongest!"
Blackbeard Teach introduced Weevil., Pegasus, Strong, the Decalvan Brothers, and Lu Yue (Van Augur's incarnation) to Loki one by one.
Van Augur's current alias is a combination of Ai Gun Senriku and Yin Yue.
"The World's Strongest nation?"
"How dare you call yourself the strongest nation in front of the Giant Kingdom?"
Loki's demonic snake eyes coldly surveyed Wang Shi and his group.
But he soon fell silent.
After his father Harald's death, he was suppressed, and those two bastards, Dorry and Brogy, disappeared without a trace...
The current Elbaf is led by Hajrudin, that good-for-nothing brother, and Jarul, that half-dead old man.
This certainly doesn't live up to the title of the World's Strongest Giant Kingdom.
"Hey, is this some kind of disrespect towards us?"
Aramaki was the first to shout, taking the opportunity to feign anger as vines fiercely pierced Loki's massive body, savoring the taste of the cursed prince's blood.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing! You're taking advantage of someone in distress!"
Loki felt his blood draining away and immediately backed down.
Now that we're under someone else's roof, we have no choice but to bow our heads.
Moreover, this is an ally of the Son of Rocks, not an enemy.
Wang Shi looked at Huang Aramaki, who was taking advantage of the situation to leech off others, and a meaningful look appeared in his eyes.
"Then let me see your strength!"
Wang Shi a cold laugh, his terrifying Conqueror's Haki overwhelming Loki. His vampire bats and Seven-Star Dragon Emperor also took the opportunity to cling to Prince Loki, frantically sucking his blood like a blood pump.
"What terrifying Conqueror's Haki!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I was wrong, I was wrong! Elbaf is definitely not the World's Strongest right now, you are the strongest nation!"
Loki, bound by giant Seastone chains, paled in shock; he was utterly speechless.
How can there be so many vampire monsters? They're as disgusting and hateful as giant vampire bullflies!
"Rocks's son, Teach, is that you? Teach! Tell your allies to stop..."
The enormous Loki paid no heed to the tiny Aramaki and the dragon and bat; given their size, they couldn't possibly suck much blood.
But he soon realized he was wrong.
They were already starving and freezing because they were tied to the tree of war, and their physical strength was severely weakened.
And now they're being ruthlessly drained of blood like this.
Loki's face turned pale at a visible speed.
"How does my Conqueror's Haki compare to Rocks '?"
Wang Shi waved his hand, and the Seven-Star Dragon Emperor and the Vampire Bat left with comfortable expressions. Even Aramaki was satisfied and put away the vampire vines.
This is a giant prince whose fighting power is comparable to that of the Four Emperors; the quality of his blood is indeed high.
"They're probably evenly matched..."
Loki looked helplessly at these guys; they were just too ruthless, as despicable as Rocks back in the day.
More than forty years ago, after Rocks landed in Elbaf, he asked two questions and then stabbed him, forcing his father Harald to return from the Great Expedition.
Now, the Sea Emperor brought by the son of Rocks almost drained his blood upon their first meeting.
How awful!
However, Loki greatly missed this lawless, villainous style.
These guys certainly have the qualifications and ability to earn his approval.
"Loki, we'll rescue you, and you'll become our ally."
"Let's go to Wano Country together, retrieve the Pluton Battleship, and turn the world upside down!"
"Finally, bring those despicable Celestial Dragons down from their horses!"
Blackbeard Teach extended another invitation, shouting ambitiously as he used both the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit powers.
"Hahaha, since we're all locked up here anyway, I'll play along with you guys for a bit!"
Loki looked at the Blackbeard Pirates and the powerful figures of the Goa Empire, as if he had found his home, and immediately accepted Blackbeard Teach's invitation.
Furthermore, he was extremely displeased with the World Government, because those bastard Celestial Dragons were responsible for the death of his father, Harald.
This time, we must get our revenge!
"Hahaha! Back then, my father Rocks kept inviting your father Harald, but he always refused."
"Now, we can finally work together!"
Blackbeard Teach laughed excitedly. Loki's addition would instantly expand the Blackbeard Pirates into a force of Four Emperors).
Those remnants of Whitebeard's crew are no longer worthy of the title of Four Emperors!
The Four Emperors belong to the Blackbeard Pirates!
"Hey, you guys go find the key first!"
"These chains on my body are made of the purest and hardest Seastone!"
Loki also became excited; after being imprisoned for four years, he finally had the chance to regain his freedom.
Moreover, a group of powerful, like-minded pirates came to his door to rescue him.
This feels like a dream.
And what's more, Lola, whom I like, is also in the Goa Empire's ranks.
Does he expect to gain freedom, love, career, and partners all at once today?
Is today his lucky day?
He, the cursed and unlucky one, had finally escaped his fate of being a lone star.
Let's give it a try!
One powerful figure after another attempted to forcibly shatter this massive Seastone chain.
"Breaking this Seastone chain won't work; we still need the key."
Loki lifted his foot, which was still shackled with Seastone leg irons.
If these guys were to forcibly break open the Seastone shackles, his feet would probably be ruined.
"Wait for me for half an hour!"
With a wave of his hand, Wang Shi summoned Cain, the vampire Cain immediately flew back to Wang Shi's body, transforming into a suit of demonic armor. They then flew directly from the underworld beneath the tree roots to the mortal Sun World atop the colossal tree of war.
They flew straight up to Aurust Castle in the Giant Kingdom.
The key is hidden inside the castle, and is guarded by Gaban.
Wang Shi went to retrieve it himself, to see if Gaban wanted to fight him.
When Wang Shi up to the Sun World, Gaban's Observation Haki detected this familiar aura.
"How is this possible?! How could he be in Elbaf?!"
Gaban, who was reuniting with Ripley and Colon, suddenly changed his expression, a feeling of unease instantly overwhelming him.
"What's wrong?"
The giant beauty Ripley sensed Gaban's panic and immediately asked him what was wrong.
There aren't many things that can make Gaban panic.
"He's here! The Goa Emperor has come to Elbaf!"
Gaban spoke with a solemn expression, and when he sensed Wang Shi's direction, his expression changed drastically.
"Oh no! He's going to Aurust Castle!"
"Ripley, go and inform Elder Jarul to put the entire nation on high alert!"
Gaban rushed out and headed straight for Aurust Castle, where he placed the key to Loki's imprisonment in Harald's palace.
Could it be that Wang Shi is planning to rescue Loki?
