Afraid of Nothing Anymore
A slight smile played on his lips. "All of you, come at me together."
Loki was genuinely stunned, instantly forgetting even the disappointment of his breakup.
He found it hard to believe what he had just heard.
"What did you say?"
"The Fleet Admiral Sengoku said that if there's an opportunity, he'll prioritize eliminating you."
Naito said, "Loki, you don't think you can ignore all these years of attacks on the government, do you?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Loki burst into laughter, "I thought I misheard, but it turns out..."
"You really are such an idiot! Then just die!"
The heavy, black warhammer was raised high, and in the next instant, it crashed down!
Chapter 197 Fearless of Nothing
Beyond the Totto Land ocean, massive naval warships floated silently on the surface of the sea.
"So, what's the current situation on Whole Cake Island?"
Binz paced anxiously on the deck, "Won't Naito be discovered?"
"Ah la la,"
Reclining leisurely in a deckchair, with an eye mask pulled down to cover his eyes, Aokiji, seemingly enjoying a pleasant afternoon nap, spoke with interest, "Really, Binz, don't you trust Naito?"
"It's precisely because I trusted him so much that I find it hard to believe that he would actually just obediently go and gather intelligence!"
Binz bit his fingernails anxiously, "Impossible! Impossible! How could Naito be so honest!"
Ain, standing to the side, wholeheartedly agreed.
That was also her biggest worry.
Since Naito's Illusion-Illusion Fruit ability allows him to come and go as he pleases, given his personality, how could he possibly just do nothing and simply go to see how Charlotte Linlin and Loki's conversation was going before coming back?
"Senior Kuzan,"
Ain turned to look at Admiral Aokiji, "Do you really not know what's going on on Whole Cake Island? After all, wasn't this operation just because the government found out Charlotte Family's secrets?"
"I know what you want to say about Ain, but unfortunately,"
Aokiji, his eye patch still on, showed no sign of getting up from the recliner, and lazily said, "Actually, the government eavesdropped on Charlotte Linlin's Den Den Mushi communications, and that's how they found out she had made contact with those Titans."
"The Charlotte Family's intelligence capabilities are outstanding. They have managed the entire Whole Cake Island for decades, making it extremely closed and exclusive, and even government agents find it very difficult to infiltrate."
"So, only Naito himself probably knows the current state of the cake."
Then, Aokiji slowly added, "Well, in the end, there's nothing to be afraid of. You all know better than I do, don't you? With Naito's abilities, if he wants to leave, who can stop him?"
Ain pursed her lips.
That's the only way to put it.
Naito, please don't go too far!
Whole Cake Island.
Naito tilted his head back as his massive warhammer crashed down from the sky. The sheer force and speed of the impact caused the air to be pushed aside, creating a huge shockwave.
The power of that hammer blow was undeniably terrifying.
Loki is basically the strongest man in Elbaf, and very likely the strongest person in the world in terms of physical strength.
Furthermore, the Warhammer Iron Thunder Rays possess self-awareness and the ability to attack on their own.
The combined effect of these two factors resulted in a devastating blow!
However, even Loki could not completely overcome the common flaws of the Giant Tribe.
Too slow to react.
Even with his immense strength, Loki was incredibly fast compared to most people on the high seas, but he was far too slow in the face of someone like Naito who could see into the future.
Naito propelled himself forward with both feet, instantly launching himself diagonally backward, narrowly missing the hammer.
Boom!
The massive warhammer Iron Thunder slammed directly onto the wide tabletop, instantly shattering the specially made giant table into pieces.
The Charlotte Family executives on the table, caught off guard, were blasted away, including Lola.
"Hateful!"
Loki looked up, clearly annoyed.
In mid-air, Naito calmly levitated by stepping on the air.
But before he could utter another trash talk, a massive bolt of lightning struck head-on.
"The Mighty Drum!!"
Charlotte Linlin had already plunged her hand into the thundercloud beneath her feet, turning the white cloud completely black.
After being infused with soul power, the massive bolt of lightning instantly gained self-awareness, laughing loudly as it charged directly at Naito.
Get out of my way.
Naito spun around, his long right leg sweeping across like a steel whip.
Thunder's face was struck squarely by the kick, instantly twisted and deformed, forced to reflect to one side.
Even with the addition of Haki, ordinary attacks would never truly hit lightning; Armament Haki can only strike the Logia Fruit user's physical body.
However, if one cultivates Armament Haki to the point of Internal Destruction, then one can release Haki remotely and condense it into a protective barrier.
In this situation, it's possible to strike from a distance. Even if it's not as powerful as when Conqueror's Haki Coating is applied, kicking away a bolt of lightning is still no problem.
However, simply kicking them away isn't enough.
"Waaaaaah!!"
The lightning bolt, which had been kicked away, howled and shrieked, then deflected and hurtled towards Naito once more.
The Soul-Soul Fruit has quite a few tricks up its sleeve.
But.
"Thousand Shadows."
In an instant, countless phantom images spread out from Naito's body, and in the blink of an eye, the entire sky was filled with invisible and endless phantom clones.
Countless phantom clones shot out in all directions, encompassing everyone within this clone domain.
"Here we go again!!"
Loki roared in annoyance, "You damned thing, where have you been hiding again!"
It was truly dazzling; I couldn't see anything in front of me except for countless clones.
All you can hear are the whooshing sounds of air being torn apart at high speed.
Loki felt dizzy and disoriented, and swung his hammer in a fit of rage, but he couldn't hit anything.
His Observation Haki was just as strong, but why was he completely unable to pull that bastard out of these illusions?
How could someone possess such a disgusting ability?!
"Don't you dare go too far!!"
Charlotte Linlin roared, "Tenman, the Great God of Freedom!"
The thundercloud beneath his crotch instantly unleashed countless bolts of lightning. With the blessing of the Soul-Soul Fruit, these thick bolts of lightning further differentiated, transforming into countless tiny lightning snakes.
All the lightning snakes laughed merrily, flying in different directions, constantly piercing through the phantom clones.
Below, Katakuri, who had just been thrown away by Naito, suddenly brightened up.
The mother imbued each bolt of lightning with consciousness, so now tens of thousands of bolts of lightning are searching together for the navy's trail!
Even if he can hide among the phantoms, it's only a matter of time before he's found out!
He'll be exposed if he gets hit by a single bolt of lightning!
"Hey! Charlotte Linlin!"
Loki immediately turned to the enraged Charlotte Linlin, "That bastard is no match for me!"
Charlotte Linlin was completely too preoccupied to pay him any attention right now.
That damn navy bastard ruined everything, he has to die!
They really looked down on them.
Naito, mingling amidst the myriad illusions, smirked.
Buzz!
A violent aura swept across the sky in an instant. Naito even had the amusement of having countless black Inazuma gather from the bodies of the phantoms and rise into the air, instantly turning the entire sky dark.
The Charlotte Family executives, who had just scrambled to their feet, collapsed in droves, foaming at the mouth.
Even a strongman like Oven Daifuku couldn't help but tremble.
The earth trembled continuously, cracks appeared in the ground, and the nearby castle began to crumble, with large chunks of rock falling down.
"Are you kidding me! This level of Conqueror's Haki?!"
Perospero screamed in terror, his long tongue taut with surprise.
Even better than Mom!
Moreover, it's not just a little bit stronger!
Even these high-ranking officials were like this, and the weaker lightning Homies lost consciousness instantly, turning into specks of lightning and dissipating in the blink of an eye. After all, Charlotte Linlin only infused them with a small amount of soul, so they were not meant to exist for long.
Well, even without using his abilities, he's already close to the level of Four Emperors Admiral. So now, if Naito goes all out, it shouldn't be a problem to say he's on par with Kaido.
In that case, his Conqueror's Haki has naturally become even stronger, reaching King-level.
"What?"
A violent aura swept over her, blowing Charlotte Linlin's pink hair wildly and causing her three Horcruxes to scream in agony.
What's wrong with this kid?
Their strength is clearly not at this level, so how could their Conqueror's Haki be so incredibly powerful?!
"Hahaha! Interesting! You seem pretty strong!"
Loki laughed loudly.
Then.
Boom!
His cheek had been struck hard, instantly caved in, and his massive head was sent flying, the force of the blow pulling his enormous, mountain-like body away.
