At the port of Elbaf.
Loki, who had been suppressing his emotions for so long, became unusually excited and rampant.
He led the Blackbeard Pirates in a raid on the port and stole the king's warship that belonged to his father, Harald.
The largest and most fortified warship in Elbaf, the [War King].
The current Elbaf, which seeks peace and alliances, is weak and cowardly, and is utterly unworthy of this warship!
This Colossal Battleship was originally built for a royal family with ancient giant bloodlines, and it is extremely large in scale!
Loki even moved the Blackbeard Pirates ' [Sword of Xebec] and placed it on the deck of the [War King].
"Set sail! Set sail!!"
Loki stood on the bow of the War King, shouting excitedly, issuing orders like a captain.
"Loki! I am the captain!!"
Blackbeard Teach shouted, still trying to persuade Loki to become his first mate.
"Teach! The War King is mine, I am the captain!"
"Alright, Teach! The Giant Warrior Pirates of Elbaf have always had a two-captain system, so we should have two captains too!"
Loki didn't want to be Blackbeard Teach's first mate, but for the sake of these powerful 'comrades' and freedom, he proposed another method.
"..."
"A dual-captain system? Unless you publicly declare yourself as the vice-captain of the Blackbeard Pirates."
Internally, we'll implement a dual-captain system: you'll be the captain of the [War King], and I'll be the captain of the [Sword of Xebec]!
Blackbeard Teach pondered this and concluded that a compromise was the only option.
Anyway, he's going to be the boss, at least on the surface!
"..."
"Alright, from now on they'll all call me Captain!"
Loki thought about Teach 'Teach request for a moment and then agreed to it.
After all, it was Teach brought Wang Shi and other powerful figures to save him.
Furthermore, Teach also has cooperative relationships with the World's Strongest nation, the Goa Empire, and the new Four Emperors, the Cross Guild.
Loki didn't want to waste time arguing and communicating with these humans, so he put Teach in charge of these trivial matters.
His job is only to fight!
"Hahaha! Let's set sail!!"
Blackbeard Teach grinned. Crocodile, that weak guild leader, had led the Cross Guild to a bounty of 4.61111 billion Belly.
With Prince Loki, whose bounty was already 2.6 billion Belly four years ago, his bounty should easily soar to 4 billion.
He's determined to become one of the Four Emperors!
"Set sail! Set sail!"
Loki and Teach roared excitedly, exercising their captain's authority!
The massive War King broke out of Elbaf harbor and headed out to sea.
Fortunately Pegasus, a Mythical Zoan Pegasus Devil Fruit User, can transform into a giant half-beast form. Strong, a Strength- Devil Fruit User, and Weevil. are all monsters with immense strength.
Otherwise, ordinary elite pirates wouldn't even be able to pull the sails of the [War King].
The Blackbeard Pirates set sail immediately, temporarily separating themselves from the Goa Empire.
They were going to meet up with the members of the Cross Guild and, incidentally, spar with them.
···
With Loki gone, the giant warriors of Elbaf breathed a sigh of relief, yet were filled with worry.
They breathed a sigh of relief because they couldn't defeat Loki, the cursed prince, and therefore dared not fight Loki.
The worrying thing is that Loki's return to the open sea to wreak havoc and fight will seriously damage Elbaf's reputation, once again tarnishing Elbaf with an image of barbarity and plunder.
This is a huge blow to Elbaf, which currently desires peace and friendship.
The peaceful future that King Harald desired was even more difficult to achieve.
Gaban and Elder Jarul were relieved to learn that Loki had left without causing too much damage.
A Loki who goes to sea is better than a Loki who wants revenge on Elbaf.
"Gaban! Are those humans really not going to hurt Elbaf?!"
Jarul was deeply worried about the powerful figures from the Goa Empire who were heading to the Walrus School.
After hearing Gaban's information, he finally understood how powerful the Goa Empire was.
Without Harald, without Loki, and with Dorry and Brogy still not back, Jarul really doesn't know how to resist the Goa Empire.
"Don't worry, Wang Shi has big ambitions, he definitely won't make a move against Elbaf."
"On the contrary, he will try to win over Elbaf and form an alliance with Elbaf!"
Gaban spoke confidently, saying that Wang Shi's target was Imu and the Five Elders, and he had even taken the initiative to clear an Abyss teleportation array for Elbaf.
How could Gaban not understand what the Wang Shi meant?
This guy definitely wants to bring the Giant Kingdom into his camp.
"Thank goodness! Forming an alliance with the World's Strongest Affiliated Nation is not bad."
Jarul refused to acknowledge that the Goa Empire was the strongest nation, preferring instead to call it the World's Strongest Affiliated Nation Goa Empire.
They, Elbaf, are the true World's Strongest!
···
At the Walrus School.
The giants, led by Hajrudin, glared angrily at the Goa group who had let Loki go.
The Titans, led by Saul, believed that Robin and the Goa Empire were not bad people.
"Ripley, why are you on their side too? Did Mr. Gaban really give them the key?"
Hajrudin couldn't believe his eyes; he hated Loki, the bastard who had killed his father.
"Gaban said that we must never clash with the Goa Empire."
"Furthermore, there's more to the story of Loki killing King Harald than you think!"
Ripley vehemently opposed Hajrudin, refusing to allow these brutes to engage in battle with the Goa Empire.
Let's set aside the hidden story of Loki and Harald for now.
The most important question is whether these giants can defeat the Wang Shi!
Ripley would not allow Elbaf to be drawn into the dangerous war.
Wang Shi watched the giants' standoff quietly. If possible, they would like to spend a few days sightseeing in Elbaf, allowing Robin and Saul to reunite for a while.
If it doesn't work out, that's fine too. I'll just hang out with the Blackbeard Pirates and the Cross Guild for a few days.
Of course, Wang Shi himself was going to Egghead with Kuma.
After a standoff lasting several tens of minutes between Saul, Ripley's side and Hajrudin's side, Gaban and Elder Jarul finally returned.
Jarul, who also knew the truth about Loki's patricide, suppressed Hajrudin and the others, and officially declared that the Goa Empire was a friend of Elbaf.
This standoff has now officially ended.
With a serious expression, Jarul led Hajrudin and the others away, and told Hajrudin, the half-blood prince, the truth.
Twelve years ago, when Jarul and Loki set out for Aurust Castle just as its gates opened.
King Harald had already ordered his guards to kill him, and countless naginata pierced Harald's body.
Loki and Jarul were both incredibly shocked!
Why did the guards kill their king?
But what happened next was completely beyond Loki and Jarul's imagination.
Harald has turned into a demon and fallen into chaos.
The guards of Aurust Castle were utterly unable to kill Harald, who had nearly transformed into a demon.
The out-of-control Harald went berserk and slaughtered all the guards.
Even Jarul's helmet and head were pierced by a longsword, and he was almost killed, but he became a survivor who knew the truth.
