Shirahoshi's Choice, The Giant Army!
Chapter 334 Shirahoshi's Choice, The Giant Army!
"Twelve. Constellation, Kang Jinlong?"
Upon hearing Loki's words, Neptune felt even more horrified.
From the moment he started, what was happening in front of him was completely incomprehensible to him—Loki suddenly appeared near Fishman Island, clearly a Devil Fruit user, yet he was not afraid of the seawater under the influence of the starlight, and even claimed to be a friend of Shirahoshi.
And now, he claims to be a member of the 'Twelve Zodiacs'.
"Well, it's a complicated matter. I'll have Wu Ma or my mother explain it to you later."
"In short, King Neptune, all you need to understand is that we are here to help Fishman Island."
Loki waved his hand – he was never good at explaining, and most of the time he was too lazy to explain.
"Put down that thing you're holding."
As he spoke, his gaze drifted toward the 'Wrath of the Sea' in Neptune's hand.
He was unaware of the existence of the deadly drug, but judging from Neptune's expression and actions just now, he could tell that it must be some kind of trump card with extremely severe side effects, and it might even require sacrificing one's life to use.
Neptune's willingness to take the medicine without hesitation in order to protect Fishman Island has already earned Loki's recognition as his father's friend.
“Great King, this country still needs you.”
Loki spoke in a deep voice.
It was at this point in his speech that he spoke.
"Boom!"
From the distant turbid current, a roaring surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted, and a magnificent slash severed the ocean current and the 'ocean current ball' formed from the previous collision, both striking Loki's waist.
"oh!?"
The exaggerated power and speed of that slash made Loki let out an excited low shout.
He waved slightly behind him: "Tie Lei!"
"boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the giant hammer flew back and landed in his hand.
"The Primordial World!"
Loki raised his hammer, unleashing frost and lightning from the depths of the sea to meet the slash.
But
"Um!?"
A moment later, Loki's eyes, hidden beneath his bandages, suddenly widened.
Loki's face showed an incredulous expression. The frost and lightning he unleashed crumbled the moment they touched the slash—the Conqueror's Haki and another dark power flowing on the slash seemed like an abyss, swallowing up all his power.
Moments later, Loki's body was blasted into the distant seabed by the slash.
The slash continued unabated, shattering the seabed and sending flames rising from within.
"Loki!"
Upon seeing this, Neptune exclaimed in surprise.
Although he still doesn't quite understand why Loki appeared, or what the opposing side is.
But at least he could tell that Loki was currently an absolute ally, so he was naturally worried at this moment.
But a moment later.
"boom!"
A hand emerged from the lava.
Lava flowed down his body, illuminating his dark armor plates and his increasingly swollen body.
With a flap of his wings, Loki, half-dragon and half-human, soared into the air.
In his hand, a squirrel's head was growing out of the handle of the Iron Thunder hammer, constantly blowing on the flames burning on its tail.
Loki, surrounded by raging winds and thunder, flames and frost even in the deep sea, looked like a true god of war.
Seeing Roy emerge from the lava like a flame, Neptune breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He knew Harald was strong, but he didn't expect his son to be just as strong.
But then again.
For Fishman Island right now, the stronger Loki is, the better.
"call"
At that moment, Loki took a deep breath.
"Just as Wu Ma said, the guy who came this time is the spokesperson for the 'Abyss'."
As he spoke, he glanced at his abdomen.
There, even with the defensive power of the Nidhogg Fruit and his terrifying physical strength as an ancient giant and a king, a wound still appeared.
Dark power flowed through the wound, preventing Loki, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, from recovering quickly.
until
"Buzz!"
Loki picked up the iron thunderbolt and lightly struck his own abdomen.
The bloodline factor surged with energy, clashing with the dark power.
Then, the wound began to heal rapidly.
"He's a guy who has mastered divine power. Hmm, no, according to Wu Ma, that kind of power should be called bloodline factor source energy."
Loki muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the figure slowly emerging from the distant waves.
The man who cleaved through the waves and returned to Loki's sight was none other than Shamrock.
He also bore the gruesome wounds inflicted by Loki's attack, but like Loki, with each step he took, his injuries healed at a visible speed.
"The Abyss Contract, plus bloodline factor source energy?"
Loki murmured, then a smile appeared on his lips.
"Just to my liking."
"After being possessed by that guy Teach, and not being able to find a chance to fight that guy Wu Ma again, I've been itching for a fight for a long time."
As he spoke, he gripped the iron thunderbolt in his hand tightly—as the strongest warrior in Elbaf, he craved fierce battles.
However, as one of the ancient weapons, 'Uranus' possesses the physique of an ancient giant, wields the Mythical Zoan weapon 'Iron Lightning', and is also the Nidhogg Fruit user Loki. Looking across the entire ocean, there are almost no beings who can be called 'opponents'.
The twelve constellations are his opponents, but he clearly can't find a suitable reason to fight them now.
Shamrock, standing before them, was clearly a worthy opponent.
“King Neptune, return to Fishman Island immediately—I’ll handle this guy.”
His deep voice reached Neptune's ears.
"By the way, the 'Horse' of the twelve constellations asked me to tell you that the White Star is with him and is preparing to carry out a plan."
"Wait, what the hell are you talking about?!"
Upon hearing Loki's words, Neptune, who had been incredibly nervous about the battle, immediately widened his eyes.
"The Horse of the Twelve Zodiacs? The White Star is with him? He's the one who kidnapped my daughter!?"
Especially upon hearing the last words, Neptune, the daughter, was so angry that she glared and puffed out her beard.
"It's not accurate to say he abducted him. That guy, Pompom, made his own choice to save the people of Fishman Island."
Upon hearing this, Loki grinned and said, "Now it all depends on whether you, as her father, are willing to cooperate with her."
"You this"
Upon hearing this, Neptune gritted his teeth and roared, "Explain yourself clearly!"
"There's no time for that."
Loki looked at Shamrock, who had raised his rapier again in the distance: "When fighting a guy of this caliber, I don't have time to worry about anyone else."
"."
Neptune, looking at the immense power that had once again gathered in Shamrock's hands, gritted his teeth and pressed on, "You're saying that Shirahoshi made her own choice to save Fishman Island?"
"Honest and fair dealings with both young and old."
Upon hearing this, Neptune couldn't help but think of his daughter.
That gentle and timid daughter, who was very much like her mother.
Just as he said before.
She is the princess of Fishman Island.
She is the 'Sea Queen' of Fishman Island.
One day, she will become a hero of Fishman Island.
so.
"What do you need me to do!?"
Neptune responded without hesitation.
Although he currently knows nothing about Loki, the twelve constellations, or any of the plans.
However, he trusted his daughter as much as he trusted himself.
"I've heard that you are the most valiant 'Great Knight' on Fishman Island, and the 'God of War' of the Fishman race who commands the army—in that case, return to Fishman Island immediately and lead your army to suppress all the Fishmen who have been controlled by the Black One."
Loki responded in this way, and then swung his Iron Mine.
"boom!"
The violent waves instantly lifted Neptune into the air, sending him crashing into the dome of the Dragon Palace.
Having finally regained his footing, Neptune watched Loki carrying the Iron Mine and charging towards Shamrock, and growled, "An army? To suppress all the transformed fishmen?"
He really wanted to say something—now that the vast majority of the people and soldiers on Fishman Island have been transformed into demons, no matter how strong his command ability is, can he command thin air to fight?
But it was precisely at this moment that he was cursing so fiercely in his heart.
"Buzz!"
Neptune then saw another burst of starlight emerge in this deep sea, in this area covered by the light of the Sun Tree Eve.
It instantly covered the chaotic Fishman Island.
then
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Heavy footsteps sounded.
"Wow, so this is 'Dark to Domination'?"
"It looks like a complete monster."
"The fishmen's power has actually been enhanced, which is good. They are opponents worth fighting."
"Hey, Hey, Heroic Spirits, come out a little less. It's been a long time since we've fought, and our hands are itching. Don't let the battle end too quickly."
"What you said is dangerous. Mr. Wu Ma said that even those who are controlled by the Black Transformation can still be saved by the Twelve Constellations. Go easy on them, don't kill them completely."
Accompanied by these words, towering figures, as majestic as mountains, strode out from behind the curtain of starlight.
They were clad in armor, wielding weapons, and their bodies were enveloped in a faint starlight.
That was indeed it.
"giant!?"
Those merfolk who were still conscious cried out in alarm, such as the golden-gunned female merfolk who had been being chased by her husband—already covered in wounds, she saw a giant swing his massive shield and send her husband flying with a single blow.
"A giant warrior from Elbaf!?"
"Why did they come to Fishman Island?"
Are they here to help us?
The surviving fish-people, who had not been transformed, cried out in surprise.
Meanwhile, Neptune was completely stunned.
“Hey, Neptune.”
But as he stood there in a daze, a voice came from beside him.
He lowered his head warily and saw an old man with a full head of white hair, holding two axes.
"Jabbar?"
His eyes widened in disbelief, clearly recognizing the other person—Jaba the Mountain Eater, the right-hand man of the Pirate King Roger.
Roger and Neptune were old acquaintances.
What are you doing?
However, at this moment, he noticed that Jabba's body was also surrounded by starlight.
"Ah, it's a long story."
Upon hearing the question from an old friend, Jabba scratched his head.
"You can think of it this way: I've now joined the ranks of the twelve constellations along with the giants, my wife, and my children, and I'm here to help you."
At this point, he looked at Neptune with a serious expression: "In short, now you need to issue orders to command the army to suppress all the converted merfolk, and also gather the surviving merfolk together and send them on their way."
He whispered a location.
"Send all the murlocs to that place?"
Upon hearing this, Neptune frowned: "And then?"
Jabba gave a mysterious smile.
"Then, all we have to do is wait for the 'stars' to appear."
"The Elbaf Giants have indeed not been wiped out."
It was precisely when Jabba approached Neptune and began discussing their next plans that...
On the other side, Shamrock, who held the 'Seven Deadly Sins' aloft, had already seen the army of giant warriors appearing on Fishman Island.
His expression was gloomy, but he was clearly too preoccupied to pay attention to anything else at the moment.
Because his gaze and all his attention had to be focused on dealing with Loki in front of him.
“‘Heavenly King,’ Ratatosk and Nidhogg, they have been hiding among the Elbafl and other races all along. They are indeed a race that rebels against the gods!”
He spoke in a deep, cold voice.
Just as mentioned before.
As the only god knight who has received Im's blessing, he has now become almost its spokesperson.
Shamrock knew a lot.
He could immediately see the 'Heavenly King' power on Loki, as well as the special combination of the 'Nidhogg Fruit' and the 'Ratatosk Fruit'. He could even guess that for a long time in the past, they must have been controlled by Elbaf.
And without a doubt.
Whether it's the two Mythical Zoan fruits that can manipulate the source energy of bloodline factors, or the power of the Uranus, both are key parts of Joy Boy and Davy Jones's plan to overthrow Im, and are the things Im hates the most.
"Have you giants completely sided with the 'Twelve Constellations'?"
After realizing this, Shamrock directly sensed Lord Im's anger and fear through the power of the contract.
The fact that the Heavenly King has gained the power of 'Nidhogg' and 'Ratatoskr' is itself a very bad sign.
And such a being joining the twelve constellations poses an even greater threat to Im.
so.
"Besides destroying Fishman Island and Sun Tree Eve, I also want to kill you here."
Shamrock's sword was pointed at Loki.
"If you can do it."
Upon hearing this, Loki stuck out his tongue and made a face: "I don't mind."
The words fell.
The two figures charged towards each other.
"boom!"
The giant hammer collided with the rapier, and a terrifying shockwave instantly reverberated across the sea once more.
