You've Got Me Beat!

Battered by Rocks until he coughed up mouthfuls of blood, Loki finally roared in defiance under Houka's relentless provocation.

Harald watched, unable to bear it.

Suddenly, black-and-red lightning erupted from Loki in an unbroken stream.

The bolts were thicker than even the strongest bursts of Conqueror's Haki Harald and Rocks could unleash!

Houka and Rocks were both stunned!!

"Loki must be the reborn War God of Elbaf!!"

Elder Jarul was beside himself with excitement. To him, Loki looked just like the War God who had once fought Sun God Nika.

The War God whose power had come closest to Sun God Nika's!

A true God-level powerhouse!

"Loki! You did it!"

Harald rushed forward and embraced his battered son, tears of fatherly pride in his eyes.

"Houka, I told you I'd fight alongside you!"

"I'm going to become the greatest dragon of all!"

Loki collapsed into Harald's arms, panting, but he kept his proud gaze fixed on Houka as he spoke.

"You've got me beat!"

Houka reined in his Conqueror's Haki and grinned, giving Loki the highest praise one man could offer another.

"Hah!"

At last, Loki broke into a smug smile, as though nothing could have satisfied him more.

"That guy's Conqueror's Haki seems to be far beyond anything we imagined!"

Rocks had never expected Loki's Conqueror's Haki to surpass even his and Harald's.

Was a monster born with Conqueror's Haki like that the result of a mutation in his bloodline?

Or was he truly an ancient god reborn?

"This world really is full of wonders!"

Whitebeard Newgate was beginning to believe that gods could be reincarnated.

After spending so long with Houka, he knew the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika had a will of its own and chose its own wielder.

He also knew Poseidon would be born—or perhaps reborn—at
