The battle between Vic and Imu has gotten back on track, and few people are paying attention to them anymore. After all, this is a war, and the two sides have already been divided!
They weren't the only ones fighting; almost everyone still standing had their own battles, battles concerning the outcome of the war and their own lives. They didn't have time to pay attention to other people's fights.
After witnessing the battle between Vic and Imu, Loki realized that he was not the one destined for this world; he was not the person Rocks had described!
He accepted the fact that he wasn't strong enough, so he returned to the battlefield. This time, his enemies were the Five Elders and the God's Knights. If he couldn't defeat Imu, surely he could kill a few bugs?
The moment Loki stepped through the dust and returned to the battlefield, the overwhelming aura of the Ancient Giant Race caused the heavens and earth to tremble!
His towering figure, comparable to a mountain, stood in the center of the battlefield, his giant hammer " Iron Thunder " crackling with crimson Inazuma. As lightning snakes licked the hammer's body, streaks of scarlet light shot out, as if even the air itself was being scorched and hissing. He was a deadly weapon!
Facing the oncoming Five Elders, he once again displayed his might, his thick arms swinging wildly, the giant hammer sweeping out with a tearing wind pressure. The movement seemed rough and brutal, but it contained immense power, hitting the target with the precision of hitting a golf ball.
The Five Elders ' bodies twisted and deformed instantly under the hammer blows, turning into blurry black shadows as they flew backward, only to be torn into countless fragments by the hidden power along the way!
Crimson blood mist mixed with shattered bones flew everywhere. Before it could even activate its proud immortality, it was completely annihilated in mid-air, dying without any chance to fight back.
So Loki isn't weak, but he's not as strong as Imu, who is from another dimension. However, he still possesses overwhelming strength when facing the Five Elders and the God's Knights.
Even if he didn't comprehend the Laws as deeply as Dragon and Ace, he was no weaker in terms of strength and Haki.
Because Loki is eight years older than Dragon, and also because of his ancient giant bloodline, he is stronger in terms of Haki and power. So, it is not difficult for Loki to easily kill a retired member of the Five Elders!
" Fist Bone - Galaxy Impact!"
Even faster and more ruthless than Loki was the Marine Garp the Hero. His figure surged forward like a cannonball, his eighty-year-old body still as upright as a pine tree, each step he took leaving spiderweb-like cracks in the ground.
With his strength, he could fight even more easily than Loki, and that's without revealing his God Realm power!
With just a pair of Iron Fist, he unleashed overwhelming power—those fists appeared ordinary, yet they were imbued with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki that seemed to solidify into a tangible form, making them even more domineering than Loki's giant hammer " Iron Thunder ".
Even though that Primordial Demons was as huge as Giant Race, with thick, Haki armor covering its entire body, it was as fragile as paper under Garp's punch.
With a loud "bang," the Primordial Demons's Haki armor shattered, and the force of the punch, carrying Haki, slammed straight into the demon's head!
Brain matter and blood splattered instantly. Even though the remaining body was still twitching, its ability to remain immortal had been completely crushed by this terrifying Haki. This was Garp's current Haki strength, second only to the Haki strength shown by Imu!
With Vic's help, he never experienced physical decline, and his Haki continued to improve over the decades. Now, at nearly ninety years old, he has accumulated not only the years but also unfathomable power.
That's the accumulation of decades, unlike Sengoku and Zephyr, whose Haki has stagnated due to physical decline.
In this era, Garp's Haki can be considered unparalleled!
Rocks was indeed stronger than Garp when he was alive, but that was because of his age. Rocks was about ten years older than Garp, so strictly speaking, they weren't from the same generation. It's normal that he was stronger!
If he's weaker than a rising star ten years his junior, then he can't be called a legend, nor does he deserve the ambition to become the King of the World!
Even compared to the Pirate King Roger, their Haki is only roughly equal!
But both of them are long gone. Only Garp has lived to this day and has maintained his peak condition. Apart from Imu, who has lived from 800 years ago, who dares to say that their Haki is stronger Garp's?
Therefore, Garp doesn't need to use the complicated methods of Dragon, which require completely shredding a person to truly kill them. One punch from him is enough, as it is both powerful and effective!
It's about overwhelming others with power and defeating cleverness with force. No matter what kind of Gyuki you are, I'll defeat them with my own strength!
Only Garp can possess such power these days; even Loki had to use his immense strength to shatter it, which speaks volumes!
"The strongest female swordsman— Kuina! Do you want to become Celestial Dragons?"
This holy power can make you the leader of the Holy Knights, grant you the opportunity to sign a contract with Lord Imu, and allow you to enjoy a long life and eternal youth!
Do you know how many years I've lived? I'm one of the first generation of the Five Elders, and I've lived from the Void Century until now.
"If you pull back from the brink now and help us kill those traitors, your past crimes will be forgiven, and you'll even have a long lifespan. Why not?"
An elderly man with a wrinkled face, an odd hairstyle, and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth was stretching out his hands and waving them rapidly, trying to persuade the short-haired young woman opposite him with a look of fear on his face!
He was truly out of options, with absolutely no chance to fight back. How could he possibly continue the fight like this? He could only feign weakness and use his lifespan to lure his opponent!
After all, in his view, lifespan is the foundation of everything; no one is unafraid of death, only the degree of fear differs.
Women are not only afraid of death, but also of aging. He felt he had touched her weak spot, which made her stop attacking him!
He is a Paramecia Fruit user whose power is elimination. His strongest ability is to eliminate the Devil Fruit abilities of his enemies, which is why he survived the previous battles so easily!
But now he's encountered Kuina, a Devil Fruit User, and it's completely useless in his area of greatest strength and weakness.
Although his ability to eliminate can also remove Kuina's Haki, Sword Qi, and slashes, he hasn't focused as much on developing this aspect as he has on dealing with Devil Fruit abilities!
After all, he had lived long enough to know more, and he had once aspired to become a powerful being in the God Realm, so he had certain preferences, especially regarding Sword Qi and slashing techniques, which he held in even lower regard!
He was no match for a top swordsman like Kuina. If it weren't for his immortality giving him some confidence, he would have been defeated by Kuina long ago!
"Not interested."
Kuina's voice was as cold as ice, her short hair fluttered slightly in the wind, her eyes were focused and pure, and the Famous Sword " Wado Ichimonji " in her hand gleamed with a chilling light.
"Now, all I want is to kill you."
Kuina's arrogance wasn't due to the Pure Gold gifted by Vic; she had no interest in longevity or eternal youth!
She doesn't care much about lifespan and youth, although it would be better if she had them, because that way she could continue practicing kendo at her peak!
She is a very pure person. Even if she has special feelings for Vic, Vic will always take a backseat when it comes to swordsmanship!
Therefore, she never revealed her feelings for Vic, giving the impression that she was indifferent to everything, and that her greatest passion was kendo and fighting!
