While Gaban was rushing to Aurust Castle.
The Wang Shi had already stunned the guards with his domineering presence and was now searching for the key within the castle.
Even Straw Hat Luffy and Zoro were able to find this key, let alone Wang Shi, who possesses Observation Haki allows Voice of All Things.
He quickly found the enormous key.
He also searched other parts of the castle, intending to destroy the Holy Knight's Abyss Teleportation Array in Elbaf while he was at it.
When he found the eerie teleportation array in a certain room, Gaban finally arrived.
Gaban's face turned extremely ugly Wang Shi carrying the enormous key.
How could Wang Shi have found this key so quickly?
Who gave Wang Shi the intelligence?!
"Oh, you're here?"
"I didn't see it on Amazon Lily, it ran really fast."
"I was hoping you guys could protect Straw Hat Luffy."
Wang Shi, carrying the enormous key, looked at the sweat-drenched Gaban and smiled faintly.
"You're going to release Loki?"
Gaban's expression turned serious as he considered the consequences of blocking the Wang Shi.
After all, in places where there was Wang Shi, those so-called Three Dukes and Three Marquises were probably nearby.
Most importantly, he can't beat Wang Shi now.
"That's right. I'll give him a chance to kill the Holy Knight and the Five Elders, so he can avenge Harald."
"Also, take a good look at this type of Abyss teleportation array. If you encounter one of these anywhere else, destroy it immediately!"
Wang Shi spoke, he wrapped the giant key in jet-black Armament Haki and slammed it onto the Abyss Magic Circle, completely destroying the magic circle and the ground.
Gaban watched as Wang Shi destroyed the magic circle, momentarily speechless.
"Don't let Loki destroy Elbaf!"
Watching Wang Shi leisurely leave with the keys, Gaban could only awkwardly leave behind a single sentence.
"Try your best."
Seeing that Gaban showed no intention of making a move, Wang Shi spoke indifferently, then carried the giant key and flew back to the Underworld.
Sigh~
Gaban was somewhat powerless; he wanted to take the key back, but he didn't have the strength.
Angry Wang Shi would be no less serious than angering the World Government.
He really didn't want to drag Elbaf into the war.
Elbaf is truly no match for the Goa Empire now.
He looked at the destroyed ground, a hint of coldness creeping into his eyes.
He must activate the giants of Elbaf, search the entire Elbaf region, and completely destroy this Abyss magic circle.
He will absolutely not allow Elbaf to become the World Government's backyard!
Elbaf is not a place where the Holy Knight and the Five Elders can come and go as they please.
···
In the underworld.
As Wang Shi returned carrying the keys, Loki struggled excitedly like a child.
Giants live more than three times longer than humans.
So Loki, who is 61 years old this year, is about 20 years old in human terms.
When Loki was born, Hajrudin was 18 years old, which is equivalent to 6 years old in humans. He became good friends with the giant children, including Gerd, and 5-year-old Charlotte Linlin.
However, 5-year-old Charlotte Linlin suffered Hunger Pangs attack during the winter solstice festival that year and killed Elder Jarul with the waterfall beard.
In the year that followed, Elbaf was plagued by a series of devastating natural disasters, plunging the entire country into famine and cold.
Loki was called the Cursed Prince, and Charlotte Linlin was called the culprit who brought destruction and disaster, and was banished from the country.
46 years ago, 15-year-old Loki met Rocks. At that time, Loki was only equivalent to a 5-year-old child, which is why Rocks treated him like a brat and rejected him time and time again.
King Harald launched his first expedition at the age of 45, which, relative to a human age of around 15, made him the strongest being in all of Elbaf.
He can kill a giant sea shark with just a booger!
After Harald and Rocks clashed in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, he dared to jump directly off the Red Line, which was thousands of meters high.
Harald's strength, power, physique, and courage were all fully recognized by Rocks.
Rocks had always wanted to invite the powerful Harald to cooperate with him.
···
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
Loki was anxiously urging Wang Shi, but he didn't expect Wang Shi to snatch the key back so quickly.
He knew that the key had been entrusted to that old man Gaban by Red-Haired Shanks, the coward who relied on his superior numbers.
He had once tried to command wild beasts to steal the key, but was repeatedly driven back by Gaban and the giant guards.
"I hope you can kill a few Holy Knight on the Wano Country battlefield."
"Also, when you come out later, don't use your hammer to damage Elbaf."
Wang Shi spoke calmly, mentioning that Loki's weapon, Iron Thunder Ragnir, was also bound to the Tree of War along with Loki.
This is the National Treasure of Elbaf, incredibly heavy, and apart from Loki, a member of the royal family with ancient blood, no other giant could lift it.
Even the half-blood prince Hajrudin was unable to wield Iron Thunder Ragnir.
The Elbaf artifact, Iron Thunder Ragnir, can also summon incredibly powerful lightning strikes, capable of destroying a branch of a War Tree and a village in a single blow.
"Got it, got it! I'm going to take on the Four Emperors and the World Government's strongest members!"
"Those weaklings from Elbaf are no longer worthy of being my opponents."
Loki quickly spoke up, mentioning that four years ago, those giants joined forces with the Red Hair Pirates to suppress him.
He knew that Red-Haired Shanks and these giants were all cowards.
Wang Shi held up a giant key to unlock the Seastone chains binding Loki.
Loki had just freed himself from the Seastone chains when he couldn't wait to stand up, grab his Iron Thunder Ragnaros, and roar to the sky, unleashing Conqueror's Haki.
Exaggerated streaks of Inazuma flashed across the sky.
The terrifying aura was so powerful that even the giant village above the Sun World felt its terrifying pressure.
In an instant, the villages of Elbaf were thrown into chaos.
Loki, a Devil Fruit User, displayed such formidable fighting power despite being shackled with Seastone irons.
"So strong!!"
Enel, the Devil Fruit User of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit- Rumble Fruit, felt a bit annoyed when he saw Loki summon lightning with just a hammer.
How can anyone, human or ghost, use lightning abilities?
"Hahaha! Loki is truly powerful!"
Blackbeard Teach sensed Loki's terrifying power and burst into maniacal laughter.
"Comfortable!! Four years, do you know how uncomfortable I've been sitting here for four years?!"
Loki patted the muddy snow off his backside, then looked at the beast still roasting inside, his stomach growling loudly.
He was already weak from being tortured for several years, and then Wang Shi and his gang drained so much of his blood. Now he needs to have a good meal to recover his strength.
At that moment, Wang Shi casually unlocked Loki's shackles.
With all the Seastone restraints gone, Loki's aura rose to another level, unleashing a raging beastly presence.
It was as if a savage behemoth had been reborn.
"The power of the Blood Serpent has returned!"
Loki laughed excitedly as his strength slowly returned.
