Return to Punk Hazard! The Freed Giants!
Loki paused for a moment, "You should just say it clearly, what Devil Fruit?"
"It's Devil Fruit; if I had to specify, it's Zoan - Mythical Zoan with Devil Mode."
Naito said, "He has the ability to become a demon."
"A demon?"
Loki immediately became serious.
This name is definitely extraordinary.
Is there some connection between Devil Fruit's name and the fruit itself?
"The abilities that guy possesses, as far as I know, include, but are not limited to, multiple transformations, and the manipulation of a peculiar black flame that can freely change shape and even condense into special objects. He can even use this to summon the weapons originally used by the kings who created the World Government."
Naito explained, "Furthermore, you already know about making a contract with someone to grant them immense power and immortality. The price is that you'll be controlled by them. However, immortality isn't invincible; you can counter it by using an attack Coating Conqueror's Haki."
You should know this better than I do.
Loki snorted.
Killing his father with his own hands was one of the most painful experiences in Loki's life.
But is that power called Conqueror's Haki?
This was the first time Loki had heard of it.
"In addition, Imu possesses the ability to forcibly control others. The specific conditions are unclear, but he can easily transform others into demons under his control."
Naito glanced at Loki again. "This is also one of his most troublesome abilities; Rocks died from this very move."
This is also why Naito doesn't want to fight Imu at this stage; he doesn't know if he can resist Imu's Black Turn Domination.
"What!!"
Loki exclaimed in shock, "Rocks also died because of that bastard?"
Were the two most important men in his life killed by the same bastard?
Imu!!!
"In addition to these main abilities, Imu can also grant power to the God's Knights who have made a pact with him, further strengthening them based on the pact."
Naito said, "Besides enhanced strength and immortality, the God's Knights can even teleport over extremely long distances using pre-carved teleportation arrays."
"What did you say!!"
Loki jumped to his feet in astonishment. "A teleportation array! The God's Knights can teleport at any time?!"
"Oh? Did you realize that?"
Knight smiled and nodded slightly, "That's right, the one in Elbaf Orsto Castle is the teleportation array that Harald carved back then."
"That idiot Pops!!"
Loki was practically gritting his teeth.
It's one thing to cause a huge scene before you die, but to leave behind such a mess after you're gone!
No! I have to get back to Elbaf right away and destroy that teleportation array!
That's about all I know.
Naito Bear shrugged. "It's safe to say that Imu's power is definitely greater than the combined strength of the two of us, so cooperate with me, Loki."
Loki suppressed his anxiety, after all, he couldn't return to Elbaf anytime soon.
He looked down at Naito, lost in thought.
This guy knows a lot about the World Government and is incredibly powerful.
At least, she's much more reliable than that stupid woman, Charlotte Linlin!
Loki then looked at Naito with a serious expression, "How do you want to cooperate?"
Have you ever heard of Ancient Weapon, Loki?
That's what Naito said.
"Do you take me for some kind of caveman?"
Loki felt slighted and snorted irritably, "Of course I know about the three legendary weapons capable of destroying the world!"
"Good to know. There was a piece of information we missed earlier: there's a high probability that Imu possesses an ancient artifact."
Naito added a supplement.
"What!!"
Loki had never been so surprised in his life.
This guy's talk of a King of the World was already troublesome enough, and now he's telling us that monster also possesses an Ancient Weapon?
"But don't worry, there's a high probability that Imu doesn't have the energy to power that weapon," Naito said.
"High probability?"
Loki said unhappily, "Do you expect me to gamble with you on the odds of this?"
"After all, I can't be sure either."
Naito smiled.
According to Doflamingo, if he were to undergo the Perennial Youth Operation, he would have a chance to obtain the Celestial Dragons' National Treasure.
When talking about the Celestial Dragons' National Treasure, it's most likely that weapon, right?
Therefore, Naito couldn't say for sure whether there was some special mechanism driving that weapon.
"But, it's okay,"
Naito laughed and said, "Ancient Weapon? We'll just use Ancient Weapon to deal with that."
Loki was once again stunned into silence. "You're not going to tell me that you also have Ancient Weapon, are you?"
Who exactly is this guy?
Not yet.
Naito smiled and said, "But with your help, it should be ready soon."
What do you mean?
Loki was suspicious.
Loki,
Naito then asked, "Have you heard of the Great Hammer Pirates?"
"You bastard, do you really think I'm an idiot?"
Loki roared angrily, "How could I not have heard of the legendary Great Hammer Pirates of Elbaf!"
"It is said that many of them possess the blood of Ancient Giants and are legendary shipbuilders of the Giant Tribe!"
"That's right,"
Naito nodded slightly. "Let alone in that distant era, even now, the shipbuilding skills possessed by the Great Hammer Pirates are probably unmatched."
"After all, even Pluton, one of the Three Ancient Weapons, was created by them."
"Pluton was actually created by the Great Hammer Pirates?"
Loki was shocked; this was the first time he had heard of this.
Then he immediately curled his lip, "What's the point of saying all this? The Great Hammer Pirates disappeared during an expedition a long time ago; they were supposedly captured by someone."
"Besides, even if they weren't captured, they were people from eight or nine hundred years ago; their bones would have already turned to dust by now."
"But Loki,"
Naito smiled. "If we freeze them with Iron Thunder's ice, do you think we could let them live through the ages and stay alive until now?"
The little squirrel, who had been sitting obediently against Loki, tilted its head and looked down at the little man in front of it with a somewhat blank expression when Naito mentioned its name.
"Iron Thunder!"
Loki's mouth dropped open. "If it's Iron Thunder —of course!"
Those frozen by the Iron Thunder do not die; they are simply trapped in a strange, completely frozen state.
As long as they remain frozen, they can truly survive indefinitely!
He completely understood. "Hey, you're not trying to say that the Great Hammer Pirates was frozen somewhere by former users of the Iron Thunder, are you?"
Iron Thunder blinked, looking confused.
Naito nodded with a smile, "I'm not entirely sure either, but when it comes to a large number of enormous, frozen giants, the only ones I can think of are the Great Hammer Pirates."
"So, Loki, do you want to come along and take a look?"
"Of course!!"
Loki shouted excitedly.
The Great Hammer Pirates are not only legendary giant craftsmen, but many of their members also possess the blood of Ancient Giants, making them incredibly powerful in combat!
"Very good!"
Naito nodded in satisfaction.
If those giants frozen in Punk Hazard are indeed part of the Great Hammer Pirates, Pluton Blueprints could come in handy.
"Then let's set off now."
Naito said.
"Good!"
Loki was equally anxious.
However, he immediately remembered something else.
"Speaking of which, what's your name anyway?"
"Oh, well, just call me the Night King."
"The Night King? A cowardly bastard."
Chapter 204 The Return of Punk Hazard! The Liberated Giants!
"Shall we go there now?"
Loki couldn't help but be somewhat taken aback.
Is it that urgent?
Hesitation is not a quality a real man should possess.
Naito said calmly, "The giants of the Great Hammer Pirates have been slumbering in the ice for centuries, Loki. Can you bear to keep them waiting?"
"Hmph, since you've said that, what else can I say?"
