Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: Just a Random Nobody on the Roadside

Three days passed in a flash.

On the boundless sea, only vast white waves connected with the skyline. The sea breeze wrapped in salty and fishy smells slapped on the deck of the Conqueror.

"Damn it, how big is this world exactly?"

Loki looked down at the Eternal Pose, which was still pointing west, and couldn't help scratching his hair.

The Conqueror, although without steam technology or Coup de Burst and other black technologies.

But with Kraken avoiding undersea currents, and Odin and Apollo autonomously controlling the wind direction, the speed was definitely not slow.

Even so, after three consecutive days of sailing, not even the outline of Wano Country had been glimpset.

"Father God, there are people to the south! Seems to be pirates."

At this moment, Odin above issued a warning.

"Pirates? Bring the ship over." Loki's eyes lit up instantly, his irritability swept away.

Pirates are good; pirates mean they know the way.

Just right to ask about the situation.

On the distant sea surface.

A large ship was cruising. The bow and the pirate flag both featured a skull wearing a horned helmet and having a beard. The pirate flag fluttered in the wind, somewhat in the style of Elbaf.

On the deck, the atmosphere was enthusiastically obscene.

"Guyram, haven't found any traces of the Kuja yet?"

The burly Byrnndi World, like an iron tower, stared infatuatedly ahead: "I must capture Shakky to be my woman!"

"Boss, I'm sure the direction is correct. My body can still smell that faint fragrance, but there are no findings for now, Boss." Guyram sniffed his red nose, looking wretched.

"Probably we were shaken off for too long." Sebastian scratched his head.

Binjack, who was in his prime and unlike the old man more than forty years later, was fiddling with various models of Den Den Mushi from top to bottom: "Keep moving forward. I've already monitored nearby signals. If the Kuja Pirates use Den Den Mushi, we can catch them. Everyone will get a share then!!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

The straightforward reward instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the crew members. A group of people waved their weapons and cheered, revealing undisguised obscene smiles on their faces.

"Tch, a bunch of idiots." Nightin, wearing a purple cheongsam and a white coat, leaned against the mast, her tone full of disdain, her willow eyebrows slightly frowned, "When facing the Kuja, you will only be dizzied by their charm, falling on the deck incompetently one by one, unable to even lift a hand."

"Ah, even being dizzied is only natural! The captain is like a diamond, the vice-captain like a jewel, and the other crew members are also beauties not inferior to you, Nightin!!"

"I really want to be slapped again. What arrives before the slap is that fragrance!"

"Hehehe, since last time, I haven't washed this hand, using it every night."

"..."

A group of people regarded shame as glory, and obscene laughter filled the entire deck.

"Hopeless!" Nightin turned her head in disgust and clenched her fists, her eyes full of unwillingness.

If she could beat them, she would have broken free from the control of this gang of villains long ago and would never associate with this group of lunatics.

"Hey hey hey, don't say such hurtful words, Nightin. We are companions!" World, whose heart was full of ambition for the world, recovered from his memories and chimed in with a smile.

"Who is your companion? I am just your captive. Kidnapping the doctor who cured you, you incurable scoundrels!"

Nightin's eyebrows stood erect, glaring at World.

"Hahaha, what does it matter? Don't care about these details." World laughed nonchalantly. Nightin's anger was just a kitten bristling in his eyes, not worth mentioning.

"Wait, Boss, a ship is approaching from the east!!"

"No, it's a giant, a giant as big as a mountain!!!"

"..."

At this moment, a shocked warning came from the lookout platform.

"Giant? Sebastian, your distant relative is here." World glanced at his companion beside him, took the telescope from Binjack's neck, and looked into the distance.

The Wotan (Fish-Giant) Sebastian pushed his sunglasses: "I only have half giant blood, and I only have a mother."

"Oh, sorry. It doesn't matter; Binjack and I don't even have parents."

World replied, looked intently, and then his eyes widened.

In the telescope.

A giant with a figure comparable to a hilltop sat on the deck of the giant ship. Even across a distance of several nautical miles, that exaggerated height still brought a suffocating sense of oppression.

World even suspected that if the opponent fell sideways, his entire pirate ship wouldn't be enough to accommodate the opponent's body.

"Interesting. Is this the legendary Ancient Giant? They actually still exist in this world."

World became interested: "Little ones, bring the ship over for me."

"Really, Boss? This giant is as big as a ship; he doesn't look like someone to mess with."

"I heard the giants of Elbaf are bloodthirsty and brutal; we aren't even enough to fill the gaps in his teeth."

"Yeah, yeah, this giant's eyes are as red as blood. Don't know how many people he has eaten. Approaching will definitely lead to a fight."

"..."

The crew's dissuasion made World even more annoyed: "Shut up! Just a mere giant, a guy never seen before, just a nameless nobody. His size isn't even as big as a Sea King. What are you afraid of?"

"I am the More-More Fruit user, the multiplier human, the Destroyer with a bounty of 50 million Berries. Bring the ship over for me!!!"

"I'm going to subdue him today as our next companion. Sebastian, he is the second member of our World Pirates' Giant Squad. You will be the captain of the future Giant Squad."

Sebastian's spirit shook, and he adjusted the bow tie on his chest: "I will guide him well."

World acted arbitrarily, and the whole ship approached Loki's Conqueror.

Conqueror.

"Approaching. How do pirates greet each other when they meet?"

Loki scratched his head, simply smiled and waved, asking loudly: "Hey, strange pirates, how far is it from here to the waters of Wano Country!!!"

The loud voice was like thunder, booming and exploding. The sound waves caused the eardrums of the bottom-level minions of the World Pirates to burst, holding their heads in pain.

"Oops, voice too loud."

Loki's keen Observation Haki saw all this, slightly embarrassed.

Used to being casual in Elbaf, he didn't expect humans in the outside world to be so fragile...

Just his voice was unbearable for ordinary humans.

"Just a strange voice has such power? Makes me look forward to it more and more. More-More: Hundred-Fold Cannon!"

World's eyes lit up. He picked up a cannonball, aimed at Loki, wrapped it in Haki, and threw it with all his might.

The cannonball wrapped in Haki expanded instantly in the air, its size doubling at a speed visible to the naked eye. A moment later, it turned into a giant cannonball several times larger than World's pirate ship. The shell glowed with a cold metallic luster, carrying a hundred times the impact force, tearing through the air with a piercing scream, smashing towards the Conqueror at extreme speed.

"No matter how many times I see it, Captain's move is still so shocking!"

"Most importantly, not only has the size become larger, but the speed has also increased a hundred times, and the power has multiplied who knows how many times. It can easily destroy an island!"

"How many do you think that giant can block?"

"Hard to say, but since that giant has such a loud voice, he should have some strength. Maybe one or two."

"..."

Seeing World take action, the crew's previous confidence surged again.

Since the captain obtained the More-More Fruit, whether it was powerful pirates or Marines coming to encircle and suppress, they all died.

Only the infinitely charming Kuja made them fail.

"This ability? More-More Fruit?"

Loki stared at the incoming giant cannonball, a trace of surprise flashing in his snake pupils. He picked up Iron Thunder, dangerous Conqueror's Haki and thunder power lingering on it.

Truly wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search, only to find it by chance without effort.

Delivered himself to the door.

"No, wait. How much is World's bounty again? Forget it, doesn't matter. Being called the World Destroyer, and not the old man later, plus the More-More Fruit, he shouldn't be trash now."

To be safe, Loki dispersed the wrapped Conqueror's Haki and then swung the giant hammer!

"Ikoku (Sovereignty)!!!"

A column-shaped shockwave as thick as a mountain peak erupted instantly, wrapped in sky-filling thunder, forcibly crushing the atmosphere ahead, forming a visible torrent of energy.

Boom!!!

The giant cannonball exploded instantly, scorching firelight and metal fragments splashing everywhere.

Before these energies could spread, they were firmly swallowed and crushed by Ikoku's shockwave.

The shockwave, with unabated momentum, swept towards World's pirate ship like a beast out of a cage, enveloping the entire ship along with the sea area below.

"What is this!"

"Is this really an attack launched by a human?"

"Captain, everyone, think of a way..."

"..."

The once invincible attack was destroyed instantly. The pirates turned pale with fright, looking at this unavoidable attack with pale faces, only able to weakly fire two bullets that were instantly annihilated.

No need for their reminder.

The core cadres of the World Pirates already had solemn faces, each launching a full-force counterattack.

"Cube · Magic Square —— Mass Production!!"

Cube-Cube Fruit user Guyram waved his hammer frantically, rapidly compressing and solidifying the air in front of him. Pale blue air cubes formed instantly, stacking layer by layer into a giant wall, trying to block the shockwave.

"Fish-Man Karate · Thousand Brick Fist!!"

Sebastian also swung his meteor hammer, wrapped in water vapor, launching an attack.

The fastest one was still World. He grabbed the long sword at his waist, activating fruit ability and Haki simultaneously. The blade magnified a hundred times instantly.

Then he swung the long sword at a hundred times the speed. Sharp blade energy rolled the air, forming a high-density black shockwave, meeting Ikoku.

The powerful blade directly rolled the air, forming a high-density shockwave.

Two shockwaves collided with a bang, but World's side's defense was as fragile as paper.

Slash waves, water curtains, and air walls were crushed by Ikoku one by one, without the power to resist.

World's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "Are you kidding me!

"Are you kidding me!!!"

This was a blade he swung at a hundred times the speed, capable of easily splitting even a warship, and this was his full strength.

Ikoku didn't pause at all, crushing straight down towards the pirate ship.

Screams, sounds of bone shattering, and sounds of the ship cracking intertwined.

The figures of the crew members were instantly swallowed by the shockwave, turning into sky-filling blood mist.

The entire pirate ship was torn apart and crushed like a toy. Even the seawater below was forcibly pressed into a huge cavity, too late to fill in.

"No, so weak??"

Loki stopped his movement, confused.

Didn't his Haki weaken and combat ability decline only when he got old?

You are so weak even when young.

What did you rely on to mess around until being caught more than ten years later?

"Shark, coordinate with Kraken, go to the seabed and fish up the remaining living people." Loki came back to his senses and issued an order.

He didn't use full strength; the main members shouldn't be dead.

The More-More Fruit can't just enter the pool like this. Even if locked up, he has to be locked up until he tries to extract the fruit later.

Leaving it to World is just too wasteful.

"Yes, Your Majesty Loki!" Shark, the Megalodon Fish-Man now over 9 meters tall, responded respectfully, dived into the water, and swam towards the seabed.
