Chapter 242 Howling Nue!
Chapter 242 The Roaring Nue! (I'm back~~ Extra chapter tomorrow~~)
dong dong dong ——
Loki, who had flown into the thunderclouds in the sky, transformed into an orc once more, and the increasingly rapid beating of his heart echoed between heaven and earth.
"I am Loki!"
"I am the sun god, the king of giants, the strongest warrior!!"
boom-!!!
The dark clouds dispersed, revealing the long-awaited sun behind them.
Loki floated between the sun and the Whitebeard Pirates; from below, only a huge, golden, glowing silhouette could be seen.
"I absolutely will not lose in a place like this!!"
"Big brother!!!"
"Today is my first battle to prove myself, and I'll show you how much I've grown!"
Boom-!
The heart beats heavily for a moment and then suddenly slows down.
Thump—The clouds in the distance trembled.
Thump—the sand and gravel on the ground danced.
Thump! ...
The already tall and strong orc form grew even taller, with bulging muscles breaking through the hair, and the bulging veins under the skin resembling a ferocious and terrifying dragon.
ha----
A waterfall-like stream of heat "drifted" down from the sky.
His eyes opened.
The original vertical pupils completely disappeared, leaving only a blood-red expanse of white in the eyes.
"It's in!"
Bang~!
A muffled thud came from the space.
Loki crashed down from the sky at an incredible speed!
Boom! ...
Under the combined force of immense power and gravity, the land struck by the iron thunderbolts churned like ocean waves.
Layers of soil rolled up pebbles and trees, surging in all directions.
On a "crater of muddy waves," Kozuki Oden stood with a solemn expression.
The enemy's aura grew even more ferocious.
"What are you daydreaming about?!"
Suddenly, a gaze appeared before him, and Kozuki Oden, who was perched on the "crest of the muddy waves," was slapped away before he could even raise his sword to defend himself.
Loki looked in the direction the enemy was flying backward, his eyes leaving a trail of red light as they were dragged along.
He shifted his feet, gripping the iron thunderbolt tightly in his left hand as he continued the pursuit.
Before anyone even got close, a dense downpour of thunder and lightning began to fall from the sky.
Loki's right arm was wrapped in rings of fire, which eventually formed a fiery brass with sharp barbs at his five fingers.
"Impressive power! I acknowledge its strength!"
Kozuki Oden quickly rose to his feet, brandishing his twin swords, and charged back at Loki at an incredible speed.
As he ran, he would occasionally slash upwards with his twin swords, shattering the lightning bolts that were about to strike him.
Boom-!
His body stiffened again, but Kozuki Oden remained calm, knowing that this was the enemy's ability.
The two domineering auras that had been prepared for a long time were unleashed at the same time.
Breaking free from the force that had locked onto him, Enma and Ame no Habakiri then swung their weapons in succession.
A barrage of flying slashes launched the first attack on the enemy.
Loki, still running, didn't stop. He clenched his right fist and suddenly threw a punch forward.
Fire Fist!
The massive fiery fist collided and rubbed against the flying slash, shattering it before continuing its flight toward the target enemy.
"Fire Splitting Slash!"
With a single slash, he cut through the fiery fist, and they stared at each other across two seas of fire. Suddenly, Kozuki Oden leaped into the air.
Upon reaching the enemy's chest, it transformed into a blurry red light and shot out.
Bang--!!
Sparks flew everywhere!
Loki, gripping his hammer to deflect the enemy's strike, grinned and said, "Trying to use the same move twice? You underestimate me!"
Kozuki Oden withdrew his left arm and gripped Enma tightly with his right hand, slashing down a second time.
The metallic clanging sound of ping-pong balls carried far.
After yet another collision, Kozuki Oden retreated with a grim face.
Human bodies are at a huge disadvantage, with a considerable gap between them and the innate strength of giants.
Even with his current physical condition, after so many head-on clashes with Loki, the webs between his hands were already numb and swollen.
If it were someone else—
They would probably have been smashed flat by this giant long ago.
"Tsk."
After unleashing several flying slashes to delay the enemy's advance, Kozuki Oden knew he couldn't afford to engage in a direct confrontation like before.
We must fully utilize the advantages that the human body should have.
Otherwise, he might actually lose this battle.
With that thought in mind, Kozuki Oden no longer hesitated and shook off the wooden clogs that were stuck between his toes.
Armament Haki wrapped around the twin swords.
With a sharp bang, he gripped the black knife and charged forward.
Loki narrowed his eyes as he watched the enemy charge towards him.
He is undoubtedly warlike, but he is not a mindless brute.
[Maintain the habit of thinking as much as possible during combat, unless you can develop a stance similar to the Sunset Martial Body.]
This is my elder brother's teaching.
During practice matches with his older brother, he always got a severe beating afterward because of his stubborn and reckless attacking habits.
But it was precisely because of these repeated lessons that he was able to etch the instinct for thinking into his mind.
They possess a wide range of thinking abilities that most Elbaf Titans should not have.
"So you're trying to take advantage of the human body's small size, huh? But I was prepared!"
"The trick we developed to deal with my older brother has finally come in handy."
Gripping the hammer handle tightly with both hands, Loki suddenly looked up and roared.
The roars were like the roars of a real tiger, spreading in waves in all directions.
"This is----!?"
"Control the Fiery Blaze!"
The lightning bolts falling from the sky struck the flames engulfing Loki.
Two different elements merge and transform at this moment.
In just a few breaths, tigers and monkeys several meters tall broke free from the elemental mass that was entangled in the giant's body.
The upper bodies of these two animals are lifelike, while their lower bodies are tails of interwoven lightning and fire.
"Kozuki Oden, I spent a long time developing this ability to deal with an agile enemy like you."
"Hahaha~~, Kill him, you tiger louse!"
The elemental tigers and elemental monkeys roared and leaped into the air at incredible speed, pouncing on the enemy from all directions.
His charging speed did not decrease, but when Kozuki Oden slashed the first tiger louse with his sword, the sudden red light made him feel uneasy.
"In my elder brother's words, it's the art of fighting—"
"It's an explosion!!"
Boom—!!
Boom—Boom!
One tiger lice after another rushed into the blast circle and self-destructed, while Loki gripped the hammer handle with both hands to charge up, focusing his attention on the enemies fleeing in all directions through the smoke.
"here!"
Suddenly, he took a step to the side with his left foot, using his massive size to reach a certain spot in the smoke.
He swung the giant hammer in his hand like he was hitting a goalball.
"you!"
They had barely broken through the smoke when they saw the hammer, and some Wano Country swear words almost slipped out.
With his twin swords raised in defense, Kozuki Oden, once again forced back into the tiger lice's encirclement, unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, unleashing countless slashes.
But for Loki, the death of the tiger lice was insignificant.
As the tiger's roar rang out again, swarms of tiger lice appeared, joining the ranks of those bombarding Kozuki Oden.
At the same time, Loki adopted a half-crouching stance, his madness subdued.
Suddenly, lightning flashed from the hands that were gripping the iron thunderbolt.
"Lagnir!"
Boom~
Boom~~
One bolt of lightning after another crashed down from the sky around Loki.
"Good buddy, kill our enemy!"
His bloodshot red eyes widened suddenly, unleashing a powerful aura.
Kozuki Oden, who had just emerged from the smoke, was still cursing when he saw a hammer carrying two-colored Haki and lightning hurtling toward him.
"Loki, you brat, what do you think you're doing to my brother?!"
An airquake struck.
A powerful surge of energy blocked Loki's hammer as he swung it down.
At the same time, Bazel, pale-skinned and expressionless, appeared on Loki's shoulder.
"Loki, stop! The battle is over."
Loki was taken aback at first, then frowned and stopped, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes as he looked at his older brother.
"Big brother, are you alright? What's wrong with you right now—"
Bazel shook his head and didn't say anything more.
He has no desire to express himself at the moment.
This is a consequence of the "no one survives" scenario; humanity hasn't fully returned. Let alone Loki, even if Nelly were here, he wouldn't want to say anything more.
Wait, Nelly—
Bazel suddenly froze. Why was he calling his mother by her full name?
"I'm fine, it's just a side effect from the time of the Demon King."
Loki knew this was not the time to ask questions, so he turned to look at the burly man walking towards them.
"It's you, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard. We met in Elbaf when we were kids, right?"
"Back then, you, Shiki, and Stussy, along with Rocks, rejected my request to join the Rocks Pirates."
