Meeting Loki? Then Let's Fight!

Binz excitedly approached Naito, asking with a curious look, "You really beat up Charlotte Linlin?"

Are you questioning me again?

Naito grabbed his ugly face and shoved him away.

"Since Vice Admiral Naito was able to suppress Charlotte Linlin, don't we have a real chance to defeat the Charlotte Family and then capture those giants?"

Drake said with some excitement.

"Charlotte Linlin is really nothing. Neither I nor Senior Kuzan could handle her."

Naito, however, said something else entirely.

It's not that I'm praising Aokiji, but Charlotte Linlin is really too disappointing. She's slow and clumsy, and her Observation Haki is terrible.

It would indeed be quite difficult for Aokiji to defeat her, but to fight her to a standstill would be a piece of cake.

"The problem lies with Loki."

"Um?"

Even Aokiji was taken aback this time, his expression darkening once more. "Knight, do you mean Loki is stronger than Charlotte Linlin?"

"Much stronger than just a little bit."

Naito said, "That guy is a real monster. Let's retreat. Fighting him now would result in unimaginable losses."

"In any case, Charlotte Linlin can no longer ally with Loki, so our mission is complete."

He had already experienced Loki's strength firsthand.

To be honest, even without using his powers and without Iron Thunder going all out, Loki was already on par with Navy Naito.

If Loki were to transform into Nidhogg the Black Dragon, a single breath attack could likely obliterate an entire naval fleet.

Furthermore, Aokiji's abilities are quite countered by Loki's; Iron Thunder, too, can control ice.

However, the real key reason is that it's now the Night King's turn to meet with Loki.

"This--"

The navy personnel couldn't help but show surprise.

Even Naito, who is usually arrogant, said so. Just how strong is that giant?

At the same time, on Whole Cake Island.

"Hey, Lola,"

Loki looked down at Lola, who was bandaging her injured younger siblings, and asked hesitantly, "Are you coming with me?"

"No way!"

Lola barely looked up before refusing, "I'm not leaving my home!"

"Hmph, what an ungrateful woman!"

Loki snorted unhappily, then turned to look at Charlotte Linlin, who was sitting on a large rock with a ferocious expression, letting her children bandage her wounds.

"Hey, Charlotte Linlin, you better remember this: if you dare lay a hand on Lola just because Lola rejected me, I won't let you off the hook!"

The words left behind by that damned navy officer before he left finally touched Loki.

He couldn't accept that Lola should be hurt just because Lola rejected him.

Despite his rudeness, violence, arrogance, and swagger, Loki is essentially a good kid.

Charlotte Linlin didn't speak, she just gritted her teeth to herself.

Let's go!

Loki had no intention of staying any longer and loudly summoned the giants to prepare to leave.

"Hey, Loki!"

Charlotte Linlin finally reacted, calling out to Loki, "Haven't we talked about the most important thing yet? I promised you I'd help you deal with the World Government!"

"You think you can take it?"

Loki glanced at Charlotte Linlin disdainfully, then turned and strode away without hesitation.

They were utterly powerless against that damned navy officer; what help could such trash possibly be?

The giants strode away.

Charlotte Linlin stared intently at Loki's departing figure.

Then.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!"

Charlotte Linlin slammed her fist into the ground, smashing it to pieces. The shockwave even blew her children, who were tending to her injuries, away.

"You bastard!!!"

She roared furiously, "That damn navy brat!!! I'll never forgive him!!"

Perospero, standing not far away, opened his mouth silently.

Mom, why are you so relentless in your pursuit of Thousand Shadows Naito?

Well.

Charlotte Family's eldest son was very distressed.

Um?

He suddenly saw a bird take flight from his unconscious brother and fly towards the departing giants.

Perospero didn't pay much attention; it was just a bird.

Chapter 200 Meeting Loki, Time for a Fight!

The Marine Guerrilla Unit's seven massive warships are returning to port.

On deck.

Naito sat in the chair in a very awkward position.

Her long, slender legs were spread wide and straight, with her heels touching the ground.

I sat on the edge of the chair, my back straight, almost on the same plane as my legs, with the back of my head perfectly positioned at the very top of the chair back.

He looked like a stiff corpse.

A Den Den Mushi) was perched on his chest, with the receiver resting on his shoulder.

At that moment, an excited voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Amazing, Naito! Even I have to say, amazing! Nobody your age has this level of skill!"

"Hahaha! Conqueror's Haki Coating, I was almost forty when I mastered this technique!"

Naito was still alive, of course, but his eyes drooped and his tone was languid. "What's the point of just words of praise? How about some real encouragement, Mr. Sengoku? For example, adding an Admiral's seat."

That way, everyone will avoid trouble.

Don't talk nonsense, Naito.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "I understand how you feel, but for hundreds of years, there have only been a maximum of three Admiral, and that rule has never changed."

Naito said slowly, "For eight hundred years, Marineford has been the Marine Headquarters, and now it's become G-1 Base."

In the nearly one year since then, the exchange between the Marine Headquarters and G-1 Base has been completed.

The original G-1 Base was renamed New Marineford, while the original Marineford was downgraded to the new G-1 Base.

These two things should not be confused.

Sengoku's voice still carried a hint of amusement, clearly indicating he didn't take Naito's request too seriously. "Relocating headquarters to the New World was a necessity, a last resort."

"But even so, it's not necessary to increase the number of Admiral."

"Yeah?"

Naito's tone was flat.

There's really no other way then; I'll have to figure out a way to get an Admiral's rank myself.

After all, Sengoku would definitely not agree to let Aokiji or Kizaru resign.

Really, you can't stop me from improving, can you?

"Don't worry, Naito,"

Sengoku still smiled and said, "I guarantee that even without the title of Admiral, your treatment will be no worse than Sakazuki's! Think about that old man Garp, does anyone really think his status is below that of the Admiral?"

That makes sense, but it seems like you can't become Fleet Admiral unless you become Admiral.

"Understood."

That's what Naito said.

"Okay, I'm glad you understand. Anyway, don't be too anxious."

Sengoku paused for a moment, then said, "Let's get down to business. Is that Loki the Giant really that powerful?"

"Extraordinarily powerful."

Naito said, "Charlotte Linlin is probably no match for him at all. Even I could only fight him to a draw, and that was before he even used his Devil Fruit power."

"Then it seems the rumors that he killed Harald are true."

Sengoku's voice suddenly turned serious, "Such a monster has been roaming the seas for so many years, and we only realized it today. Thinking back now, it's truly chilling."

"Naito, are you sure he won't ally with Charlotte Linlin?"

"He hates Charlotte Linlin, and the only possible chance for an alliance was through marriage, but I've already ruined that."

Naito said, "So I think the chances of them forming an alliance are very low."

Is that so?

Sengoku's voice held a hint of contemplation, "But we can't be too careless, and regardless of whether these two groups are allied, Loki is far too dangerous."

Isn't that dangerous?

In today's world, besides Loki, only the Revolutionary Army directly regards the World Government as a hypothetical enemy.

Moreover, Loki's strength is beyond imagination.

"You and Kuzan shouldn't stray too far from that area for now. Let's wait and see if there's an opportunity to attack those giants."

"Learn."

The call ended.

"Does that mean we can't return for the time being?"

Aokiji lay lazily on the table, his face turned to the side and his lips pouting, with an ice straw he had created using his abilities dangling from his mouth, the other end of which was stuck in a glass of juice.

"Not only will we be unable to return, we might also have to fight those giants!"
