"Hahaha!"
"Interesting, very interesting!"
Loki laughed loudly.
"However... in terms of strength, you are no match for me!"
"Drink!"
Loki roared, veins bulging on his massive arm, and immense power erupted from his hand, flowing into his hammer.
The result was that the evenly matched clash instantly collapsed, Luffy's fist was crushed, and he was sent flying by Loki's hammer.
The immense force propelled Luffy backward at incredible speed, even creating white shockwaves around him, until he crashed into a snow-capped mountain before coming to a stop.
A tremendous roar was heard, and countless snowflakes collapsed, creating an avalanche with tremendous noise.
Somewhere in the sky, many figures sat atop white clouds, watching the battle below with great interest.
It was Xia Chen and his group.
No one was worried about Luffy being blasted away.
If they were so easily defeated, they wouldn't deserve to be their captain.
Zoro took a big gulp of wine, then looked away from the avalanche-stricken mountain and onto Loki in the distance, a look of surprise on his face.
"That giant... is very strong!!"
"The strongest Titan in Elbaf? You think I'm joking?"
Xia Chen spoke with a faint smile.
"His strength is definitely at the Emperor level, making him a worthy opponent for Luffy!"
"Watching Luffy fight makes me itchy to join in!"
Zoro looked down and spoke.
Xia Chen glanced at him, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
"Feeling itchy? Want me to play with you for a bit?!"
Zoro gave Xia Chen a speechless look.
He was itching to fight a swordsman of equal strength, just like Luffy, instead of trying to fight a losing battle.
While the people above were chatting, the snow-covered mountain below where Luffy down suddenly exploded, sending countless snowflakes flying.
And Luffy's figure also emerged from among them.
He flew back to a spot not far from Loki, a smile playing on his lips.
"That's really strong!"
"Looks like I need to get serious too!"
After saying that, Luffy took a deep breath.
Thump~ Thump~
The powerful pounding of a heart resounded all around like the beating of war drums.
Loki was taken aback.
"What... what is this?"
The situation Luffy was in, and the voices around him, undoubtedly reminded him of the legend of the Sun God Nika.
Legend has it that the birth of the Sun God Nika was accompanied by the Drums of Liberation.
That was the drumbeat of freedom, the drumbeat that brought hope to people suffering from oppression.
Before this, Loki had only read the text about the Sun God, but he knew nothing about the drumming. But now...
He seemed to know what the Drums of Liberation sounded like!
"Haha... Ahahaha..."
Suddenly, Luffy burst into laughter, and white mist rose from his body, slowly turning him white.
A white ribbon floated up behind him and wrapped around his body.
"Pure White Warrior!"
"A legendary warrior who brings joy to people!!"
"I knew it! You are indeed Sun God Nika!!!"
Loki's eyes gleamed with excitement; everything before him matched all the records related to the Sun God.
Looking at Luffy's smile and listening to Luffy's laughter, even he felt a strange urge to laugh.
And this...
It's a power unique to the Sun God!
boom--
Suddenly, an incredibly powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Luffy's body, sweeping out in all directions.
Black and red Inazuma flashed and swirled around them, radiating an incredibly powerful aura.
At the same time, a powerful aura surged into the sky, and the clouds above dissipated, revealing an endless blue sky...
