Binz was somewhat anxious.

There was no way he couldn't be anxious. According to Naito, even he couldn't defeat that Loki the Giant!

When has Naito ever backed down?

Even he admitted he was inferior, so that giant's strength must have been terrifying to the point of inspiring fear!

"Ugh, this is such a hassle."

Aokiji couldn't help but complain, "If I had known this would happen, I should have switched shifts with Sakazuki earlier. He'd definitely be very interested in this."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"After all, those giants are far too threatening right now," Ain said.

Naito didn't say anything, he just lay in the chair like a dead man.

Yes, that's actually better.

If the fleet lingers in this area for the time being, it will make it easier for us to travel back and forth.

Time passed slowly, night fell over the sea, and only a crescent moon hung high in the sky.

The noisy warships that had been commotion during the day gradually quieted down.

In the dark cabin, Naito opened his eyes.

A body identical to his took shape beside him, while Naito's body floated gently up.

As he floated up, Naito's body changed shape, becoming like a snake, and flew directly out of the narrow porthole.

In the next instant, Naito shot into the air like Inazuma.

The clones left behind could perfectly mimic the aura of the original body, and through his dual-function control, even Aokiji couldn't detect anything amiss.

Although the projection can only exist for a limited time, as long as the time limit is approaching, another projection clone can be created using that clone as a springboard.

In this way, there won't be any problems if the main body stays outside for a little longer.

Without pausing for a moment, Naito activated his projection ability to the fullest and flew off in a certain direction at top speed.

When Loki led the giants away, he had already projected a small bird to chase after them, so there was no possibility of losing them.

Moreover, the distance isn't far; the giants travel for less than a day, and they've only just left the Totto Land Ocean.

Naito, at full speed, was incredibly fast, so it didn't take him long before he spotted the enormous ship slowly moving forward on the distant sea.

This is the real meeting, Loki.

Are you ready?

Next, let's change the world together.

First, the projection altered his body shape, and then a faint light began to appear on his body surface. His aura also completely changed under the projection's enhancement.

In that case, even if the person who knows Naito best stood in front of him, they would never recognize him.

In the next instant, Naito, who had completely concealed his figure in the faint light, pierced through the sky.

"Huh!?"

On the deck of the large ship, several giants on night watch were chatting when one of them suddenly noticed a light rapidly approaching in the sky.

"There's a shooting star!"

The other giants raised their heads in response.

That's really true!

Make a wish now!

Then, the laughing giants saw the shooting star land on the crossbar of the mast.

"Um?"

The giants were genuinely taken aback.

That doesn't look like a shooting star.

Although it was shrouded in a faint light, obscuring its exact appearance, its outline clearly indicated that it was a human!

Naito looked down at the several stunned giants on the deck, and a deliberately altered, indistinct voice mixed with electronic music began to play.

"Excuse me, could you please call Loki for me?"

The giants were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

The next moment.

"Enemy attack!!"

Without hesitation, a giant drew his sword from his waist and began to repeatedly strike the small round shield mounted on his left hand with the enormous blade.

A clear, resounding boom immediately spread across the silent sea, accompanied by the giants' shouts at the top of their lungs.

Meanwhile, another giant had already raised his massive longbow, nocked an arrow, and aimed it at Naito. "What are you—"

Don't point that thing at me.

Naito pressed down lightly with his hand.

The invisible projection instantly materialized, transforming into an invisible giant hand that pressed the giant directly onto the deck.

"What?"

The giants were horrified. What had this guy done?

At that moment, the entire ship began to shake slightly, and a series of rapid footsteps echoed from inside the cabin.

Immediately, figures rushed out of the cabin doors one after another.

The giants, disheveled and sleepy-eyed, carried weapons and looked around.

Where is the enemy?

"How dare they attack us! They're courting death!"

"My great axe is itching for a bite!"

Soon, someone discovered Naito.

"That's him!"

"Humans?"

"Hey! Human! What do you want to do!"

Naito didn't even bother to glance at these giants, let alone answer them.

He simply watched calmly as the enormous figure slowly emerged from the cabin.

"You bastard, how dare you disturb my sleep! Death penalty!"

Loki was yawning, shirtless, wearing only a pair of loose shorts, and his helmet was askew, stuck on by his horns.

Beside him was a gigantic squirrel, which was also yawning repeatedly, its tiny paws covering its mouth.

"Is it you? You damned bastard who disturbed my sleep!"

Loki tilted his head back, and even though his eyes were covered by bandages, it didn't stop him from looking at the figure standing on the mast.

And his breath smells pretty bad.

"I've been wanting to meet you for a long time, Loki."

Naito's body descended from the mast, slowly drifting towards Loki. "I was quite disappointed that I didn't see you when I went to Elbaf last time."

"Um?"

Loki was taken aback. "You've been to Elbaf?"

His previously lazy tone instantly turned dangerous, "Hey, you cowardly bastard, what were you doing in Elbaf!"

"Don't be nervous, it was just a business meeting, it didn't cause any damage to that country."

Naito said calmly.

"Business?"

Loki frowned.

His father did indeed establish diplomatic relations with many human nations, and trade between Elbaf and human kingdoms became commonplace in those years.

Loki,

Naito extended his right hand to Loki. "I'm here to seek your cooperation."

"Cooperate?"

Loki's lips curled into a wide smile. "Another one who wants to team up with me! Hahaha!"

He pressed his right hand down onto the head of the squirrel beside him.

The giant squirrel's body instantly transformed into a warhammer that Loki held in his hand.

"Then let me see what you're made of, and whether you're even worthy of discussing some bullshit cooperation with me!"

"OK."

Naito readily accepted.

Perfect, perfect opportunity to see just how far I've come with giving it my all.

Chapter 201 The Battle of the World's Second Pinnacle

There's no other opponent in the world as suitable as Loki.

Right now, even opponents at the level of the Four Emperors would probably force me to take them a little more seriously.

If we're really talking about testing strength, then it would have to be at least the king-level strength of Roger, Rocks, Garp, and Whitebeard at their peak.

But Roger and Rocks are both dead, and Garp and Whitebeard are old.

Only Loki.

With top-tier talent, top-tier bloodline, top-tier weapons, and top-tier fruits, this guy's strength has undoubtedly caught up with, or even surpassed, the older generation of overlords!

He's the only one left.

"Hahaha! You've got some nerve!"

Loki casually lifted the mountain-heavy warhammer, the last trace of weariness on his face completely vanishing with a hearty laugh. "Then you absolutely mustn't disappoint me!"

Crack!

A massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky, instantly striking the surface of the Iron Thunder!

The surrounding giants wisely retreated.

If Loki starts fighting, they won't be able to get involved, and if they're too close to the battlefield, they might even get caught in the crossfire.

Naito calmly watched Loki raise his warhammer, preparing to attack, and said, "No need for that pose, just transform into the black dragon, Loki."
