Boom!!!
Boom!!!
A dull loud noise shattered the sky. The Conqueror was like an ancient beast breaking free from its restraints, carrying monstrous dust and shattered reefs, savagely crashing onto the coastline.
The bottom of the ship rubbed violently against the hard rocks, emitting blinding sparks and harsh scraping sounds.
Like a heavy dump truck running over Loki in his previous life.
Several sumo wrestlers who reacted slowly had no time to assume a defensive posture before being instantly crushed by the massive hull of the Conqueror. The crisp sound of bone shattering was covered by the roar of the hull. Flesh and armor mixed with gravel splashed, finally embedding heavily into the mountain behind along with the hull.
Rumble——
The entire mountain body of Wano Country trembled violently in response. The cracks in the rock strata spread like spiderwebs, and dust fell rustling along the cracks. Even the people above in various places could feel this destructive vibration.
The samurai and ninjas on the coast couldn't stand steadily at all. Most people lost their balance due to the shock and fell to the ground in a sorry state. The swords in their hands fell to the ground, making messy clashing sounds.
A few strong ones barely supported themselves with their weapons to stabilize their figures, but their faces were pale, and their arms trembled uncontrollably.
"Hahahaha~ Thrilling!!!"
Loki's wild laughter came from the deck of the Conqueror, carrying undisguised excitement and tyranny.
He raised his hand and grasped the void. Weak transparent souls were sucked into his palm one by one, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.
Don't know if it's because he died from a dump truck charge in his previous life.
Loki in this life particularly likes this behavior of rushing straight and crushing all obstacles!
Kozuki Sukiyaki propped up his upper body from the ground tremblingly, his neck stiffly turning back to look at the source of the sound.
In the next second, he was struck as if by lightning, the blood all over his body seeming to solidify instantly.
A pair of lantern-sized vertical pupils were staring at him. The vertical pupils were golden yellow, but the whites of the eyes were surging with fierce red light, like a prehistoric beast locking onto its prey.
An invisible, suffocating sense of threat suddenly wrapped around his neck, making even breathing difficult.
Kozuki Sukiyaki's legs trembled uncontrollably, his knees shaking, his whole body muscles soft, without the strength to stand up at all. His stiff gaze swept slowly from top to bottom.
Loki's terrifyingly majestic body, tens of meters high, stood like a small hill, every inch of muscle revealing a desperate sense of power.
Boom!!!
Then, wild Conqueror's Haki rushed out of Loki's body, and invisible airwaves swept across the venue.
Everyone instantly felt like they were carrying a mountain on their backs. Their chests felt pressed by a thousand-jin boulder. Suffocation and the fear of imminent death seized everyone's heart.
Crueler still, this Conqueror's Haki precisely controlled its intensity, keeping people awake all the time, yet deeply mired in despair, unable to escape the horror before their eyes by fainting, only able to stare helplessly and terrified at that giant figure.
"Jiejiejiehahaha, wanting to crush ants without killing them, this kind of control is really difficult!"
Loki looked down at everyone, retracted his Conqueror's Haki, and announced directly: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Loki. From now on, Wano Country is mine! Who has an opinion?!"
As his voice fell, the sun hung behind his head, golden light outlining his hideous and majestic silhouette;
In the originally clear sky, dark clouds piled up layer by layer, and a pair of thunder eyes bloomed from within;
Biting frost fell out of thin air, wrapped in bone-chilling wind and snow, plunging everyone's senses and minds into desperate coldness!
Like a god descending to the world, like a demon descending to the mortal realm, this scene was deeply engraved in the eyes of every Wano Country person present like a brand, lingering.
"...."
"The sun is his crown!"
"Thunder is His power!"
"His joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are the changes of the four seasons!!"
"And this boundless majestic body, divine might vast as the sea! This is a god!!!"
"Lord God Loki, please forgive our sins!"
Some superstitious bottom-level samurai were immediately scared out of their wits. Their legs went soft on the spot, and they knelt on the ground, their foreheads pressed tightly against the cold ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy incessantly: "Lord God Loki, please forgive our sins!"
A small number of loyal people supported their trembling bodies and looked at Kozuki Sukiyaki, the Shogun.
Shogun Kozuki Sukiyaki, we have no strength to resist.
Please stand up bravely and let the enemy see the power of the Kozuki clan!
Defeat the giant and protect Wano Country!!
Loki's gaze also focused accordingly.
"!!!" Kozuki Sukiyaki's heart beat wildly, almost bursting out of his chest. His scalp went numb, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat. Screaming frantically in his heart.
Why are you looking at me?
Even if I am the Shogun of Wano Country, it is absolutely impossible to defeat such a monster!
Just being stared at by him, I have already lost all courage to fight, not even having the strength to raise my hand.
Kozuki Sukiyaki had self-awareness. In terms of forging swords, he considered himself second in Wano Country; who would dare claim first?
Even Shimotsuki Kozaburo, praised by outsiders, wouldn't surpass him in skills.
But in combat, he... might not even be able to defeat his son who is a few years old.
How, how can he stop the giant in front of him?
Loki raised his hand and clenched the thunder condensed in his palm. The crackling lightning illuminated his cold smile: "Very good, those who are dissatisfied have taken the initiative to stand up..."
"Wait, my Lord!" Kozuki Sukiyaki suddenly came back to his senses, immediately prostrating himself on the ground, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground, his tone incredibly sincere, "In the name of the Kozuki family, I am willing to entrust the position of Shogun of Wano Country to General Loki! I hope General Loki will treat the people of my Wano Country kindly in the future."
This villain cannot be defeated by force.忍 (Nin - Endure) for now, save Shimotsuki Ushimaru and the others, find this villain's weakness, and then reclaim Wano Country.
Most Wano Country diehards looked dim.
As the Shogun of Wano Country, Kozuki Sukiyaki didn't even have the courage to resist, not even comparable to the Daimyos who fought to the death. What a coward!!!
However, not everyone harbored resentment.
Sarutobi, the fire ninja of the current Oniwabanshu, moved his eyes, immediately gave a wink to the companions behind him, then took a step forward, bowed his head, his tone respectful to the extreme: "Welcome the great General Loki to the loyal Wano Country! We are willing to follow the General to the death!"
For the Oniwabanshu, their mission is only to be loyal to the Shogun of Wano Country.
As for who the Shogun is, it doesn't matter.
Boom!!
A bolt of lightning flashed, and Kozuki Sukiyaki and the Oniwabanshu were directly electrocuted. Their limbs and bones were clearly visible, and bursts of burnt smell filled the air.
"..." Kozuki Sukiyaki, smoking all over, stiffened his body and looked up, his eyes full of horror.
Didn't I... surrender??
Thinking in my heart is not allowed either?
Fire Ninja Sarutobi was also terrified and puzzled. No, Kozuki Sukiyaki actually dared to think, but we pledged allegiance immediately; is that wrong too?!
"What bullshit General? I was born into this world to be the Emperor!"
Loki looked down at everyone and shouted: "From today on, those who submit to me in Wano Country will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!"
"Those who dare to criticize my faults to my face, execute nine generations."
"Those who dare to submit memorials to advise me, execute with extreme penalty."
"Those who slander and ridicule me in public, grant suicide."
Rolling thunder was clearly engraved into everyone's cochlea, making people dizzy.
After speaking, Loki didn't bother to care about the expressions of Wano Country people. He took off Apollo from his head, merged it into thunder, and threw it towards the mountain in front.
Chaotic high-temperature plasma energy turned into a thunderstorm laser and blasted onto the mountain.
Rocks were instantly melted into magma, burning out a huge cave constantly dripping lava.
Skadi stepped forward obediently, waving her hand. Cold air instantly permeated, freezing all the dripping hot magma into hard ice ridges.
With their combined efforts, a path leading to the interior of the mountain was opened.
"Linlin, let's go. Panda, Shark, act according to the plan! World, coordinate with them."
Loki strode forward, taking Charlotte Linlin straight into the mountain.
He remembered that Pluton was hidden in the mountain of Wano Country.
There is a path leading to it directly below the Kozuki family's residence in the Flower Capital.
It's just that the path is too narrow for his size; it's better to blast open a road directly.
"Yes! Your Majesty Loki!!" On the deck, Panda and the others responded respectfully.
Loki and Charlotte Linlin's figures disappeared into the mountain path where fire light burst from time to time.
Kozuki Sukiyaki's heart was in his throat.
He understood that the opponent's goal was Pluton buried deep in Wano Country.
Could it be that the legend is true, and Pluton is a weapon made by giants?
Now the giants are here to reclaim it?
Chaotic thoughts lingered in his mind. Kozuki Sukiyaki only felt his head heavy, and vague shouts and crackling of electric currents came from his ears.
"Hey?"
"Bastard!!!"
"Bili~~"
"Ahhh!"
Thunder roared again, and pain pulled Kozuki Sukiyaki's thoughts back to reality.
He looked up and saw a majestic figure standing in front of him, blocking all light.
So tall, so big. No, why does everyone have the power of thunder and lightning!!!
As a rare panda species Mink, growing up under the strict training of the Giant Tribe.
Panda's height is comparable even to the Megalodon Fish-Man Shark.
If the Sulong form is activated, the body size will double and expand, and even some female giants are inferior to him.
Sizzle~
Amazing static electricity flashed at Panda's fingertips. The flesh on his face shook, without the usual honesty of his kin, only biting coldness: "Wake up for me, old thing! Since His Majesty spared your life, it's not for you to daydream here! Prepare to work, or wait to be turned into charcoal roast!"
"Yes!!" Kozuki Sukiyaki shivered and bowed repeatedly.
"Para!!!"
"Ah!!"
"Louder! And etiquette must be in place; maintain loyalty to His Majesty Loki at all times! Watch me!" Panda clenched his right fist, pressed it against his left chest, expression solemn.
"Yes!" Ignoring the numbness of his body, Kozuki Sukiyaki copied the gesture.
"Very good. One more thing, my name is Panda, position is Deputy Manager!"
"Yes! Deputy Manager Panda! Please instruct!"
"Remember clearly. Next, I will make the following deployment. First..."
"Huh?!" Kozuki Sukiyaki's face changed drastically upon hearing the content clearly.
What?!
Damn giant actually subjects the poor, rich merchants, samurai, ninjas, and nobles to the same restrictions.
Is this reasonable?!
The poor and the nobles are worlds apart. Identity, status, and wealth are innate gaps. Now forcibly pulled to the same level, where is the dignity of the nobles?
Then what is the difference between the poor and the nobles?
Also guaranteeing the living materials of the poor so they won't starve to death.
If the poor don't starve, how will they work hard to farm?
If there is no grain in the fields, how can the nobles collect taxes? How can he afford songstresses? How can he enjoy a luxurious life?
How can the country operate? How to support samurai and ninjas?
Ignorant giants, sure enough, are creatures with brains full of muscles.
They don't know how to manage a country at all!
"Do you have an opinion?!" Panda clenched his claws, thunder roaring!
"Ahhhh~~ No no, Deputy Manager Panda, I'm just surprised, surprised ahhhhhhh!!!!"
"Very good, continue listening... You will announce it personally later."
In the distance, a group of samurai looked at each other, no one daring to move without authorization.
Except for the diehards, who stiffened their necks and went to treat their Daimyos who were still in a coma.
On the deck of the Conqueror.
Shark glanced at it, didn't interfere, walked to the rear cabin, and opened a mechanism.
Click!
A part of the deck retracted, revealing two super-large Den Den Mushi.
At the same time, holes crowded with Island Clouds appeared on the top of the cabin.
Pop~
Then strange creatures rushed into the sky.
The lower body was a seagull, but on the back was a Den Den Mushi. The two fit together seamlessly as if grown together.
This is Loki's special masterpiece.
First stitching the corpses of seagulls and Den Den Mushi, then endowing life with a soul, creating a special creature—Flying Projection Den Den Mushi.
Flying Den Den Mushi flapped their wings and flew high, heading towards various parts of Wano Country under Shark's command.
Meanwhile.
Udon.
Quarry.
After the continuous tremors, the quarry resumed operation.
But immediately following was the super giant tremor just now.
Balance was lost instantly, chaos arose, heavy stones flew out of hands, smashing many people to death on the spot, flesh and blood blurring, wailing sounds rising and falling.
Relying on innate divine strength, Kozuki Oden was unscathed.
He looked in the direction of the country's gate, hope flashing in his eyes.
The previous continuous tremors were relatively small.
But the current giant tremor is so clear.
Does it mean that outsiders have entered the country's gate?
Then the other party must have a way to leave the country!!!
Bang!!!
Kozuki Oden punched the half-dead jailer beside him to death, raised his arms and shouted to the surrounding cellmates: "Hey, everyone, there was another earthquake just now, and it was more intense than ever. Something must have gone wrong outside. Maybe outsiders have entered Wano Country and are about to arrive on the land from the outer sea. Those who want freedom, come with me to check it out!!!"
"Freedom!!"
"Go out to sea!"
"...."
Being imprisoned in the quarry and doing the heavy work of mining stone, most people have some courage and strength.
For a time, followers gathered like clouds, knocking down jailers one after another, joining Kozuki Oden to rush towards the outside world.
