Chapter 351 An Encounter in the Underworld!

If it weren't for the fact that this guy had royal blood flowing through his veins, he would have killed him on the spot.

Prince Loki has both supporters and opponents within Elbaf.

Everyone within the New Giant Warrior Pirates is a staunch opponent.

If it weren't for Aruru's insistence on protecting Prince Loki's life, Hajrudin would have already cut off Loki's head.

After all, although Prince Loki was very strong, he was already bound at the time and couldn't exert much power.

He could only rely on his strong physique to survive in the dungeon environment.

"I can't be bothered to talk to you. You're just a fool who's been deceived."

Prince Loki rolled his eyes, not even wanting to continue talking to Hajrudin.

There were other hidden details about what happened back then, but no matter how he explained, the people of Elbaf simply couldn't believe him.

Later, he became completely desperate and was unwilling to waste any more words.

Moreover, the situation was already set in stone, and he had no choice but to remain silent.

Fortunately, because he was the last heir to the Elbaf royal bloodline, no one wanted him to disappear completely.

Finally, under Aruru's protection, he was only imprisoned in the dungeon, and of course, no one visited him.

However, Yaru has already arranged for someone to take care of his three meals a day.

Of course, corresponding restrictions were also prepared to ensure that he could not escape from prison.

He remained in a dark and gloomy prison ever since, until this very moment.

If Shamrock hadn't come looking for him and ambushed him, he probably would never have escaped the dungeon.

He had arrived at the Temple of Remembrance, thinking he would die here, but Luffy and his crew found him very quickly.

"You idiot, all these years have passed, and you're still so stubborn!"

"If you ask me, the elder shouldn't have saved you in the first place; you should have been executed!"

Haildin roared angrily.

"Captain, this guy has royal blood flowing through his veins, but his existence is a true stain on the royal family."

"Since this is the underworld anyway, and he's bound, let's just kill him here."

"That way, even if Elder Yaruru finds out, he probably won't blame us too much."

Rhodes, the navigator of the New Giant Warrior Pirates, couldn't help but blurt it out.

He also found the extremely arrogant Prince Loki in front of him very displeasing.

He wished he could immediately carry his iron net and pierce through Prince Loki's body.

"Hahaha, you guys are really outrageous."

"Is royal blood so worthless in your eyes?"

Luffy couldn't help but burst out laughing; he found his crewmates utterly astonishing.

He had, of course, already heard Hajrudin and others recount the story of Prince Loki.

He had assumed that Prince Loki was a wicked man.

But within a short period of contact, he discovered that there might be more to the story.

Luffy had a strong intuition that Prince Loki wasn't that kind of person.

His intuition was repeatedly validated during the adventure, and he never made a mistake.

"Luffy, this guy is not as simple as you think. The entire Elbaf considers him an enemy."

"Even if a few of us are wrong, it's impossible for everyone to be wrong!"

Haildin spoke in a deep voice, his expression extremely grave.

He once idolized Loki.

Because if we look at individual strength, Prince Loki is definitely the strongest among the younger generation in Elbaf.

But that guy eventually became an object of contempt by the entire younger generation.

"Forget it, let's deal with the previous issues later. The most important thing right now is to get back to Elbaf as soon as possible."

"The Knights of God are still causing trouble there; we can't wait here any longer."

After saying that, Luffy turned his gaze to Prince Loki.

"Look at this guy, he's useless. If he really had the ability to escape, he wouldn't be trapped in the dungeon forever, especially since this is already the underworld."

Hajrudin pursed his lips slightly; he had never considered using Prince Loki to escape his predicament.

Just then, a joyful shout suddenly came from afar.

"Luffy, so you're all here!"

Jabba and Chopper were seen rapidly converging on the group's location.

"Chopper, and Uncle Ashan too!"

Luffy's eyes were filled with surprise and joy. He immediately jumped up and down, his eyes sparkling with bright light.

As if suddenly turning into a cartoon, this guy's arms began to grow rapidly, and he immediately caught Chopper and brought him to his side.

At the same time, his body got stuck between Jabba and Chopper.

So, Luffy is often carefree, but he inexplicably runs into Chopper and Uncle Ashan here.

He always felt that this Uncle Ashan might not be as simple as he thought.

"It's alright, Luffy. It turns out that Uncle Ashan was once a member of Roger's Pirates. He and Uncle Lei Li were known as the two wings of the pirate crew."

"He still seems to be Roger's right-hand man."

As the two continued their journey, Chopper learned about what happened back then from Jabba.

He was extremely shocked at the time, and now he couldn't wait to tell Luffy what had happened.

"What? Uncle Ashan is the same Jaba from back then?"

Luffy's chin suddenly made direct contact with the ground.

His rubbery body ensures that he can perform extraordinary actions that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people in the first instant.

"Hahaha, Luffy, I didn't expect you to be so slow to realize it. Robin already knew my true identity a long time ago."

Jabba stroked his chin and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Speaking of the Straw Hat Pirates, the person he admires the most is Luffy.

This isn't because Luffy is the strongest, but because this guy is very similar to him back then.

"Luffy, I've heard Robin tell me the story of Usopp before he went to sea."

"You've managed to bring a timid and cowardly person to this level; you truly are a qualified captain."

"It's a pity that you and Roger didn't really become friends, otherwise you two would have gotten along very well."

Jabba sighed with some regret.

In some ways, he even felt that Luffy's personality was very similar to Roger's.

If he didn't know that the two were not related by blood, he would probably have assumed that Luffy was Roger's son.

"Speaking of which, I have quite a connection with Uncle Roger."

“Ace is Roger’s son.”

Luffy rubbed the back of his head and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It is truly remarkable that Roger's bloodline still exists in this world."

Jabba couldn't help but let out a slow breath, something that also made him extremely gratified.

"Alright, everyone, stop reminiscing. We can't go back to Elbaf yet."

Hajrudin said with a slight headache. His captain was good in every way, except that he often got carried away.

"Leaving here isn't difficult at all, am I right, Loki?"

Jabba suddenly turned his gaze to Prince Loki, who was firmly chained to the ground.

"Jabbar, I never thought you'd be banished to the underworld too."

"It seems that the Knights of God have indeed made a lot of preparations."

"But from what you're saying, do you think it's time for me to leave this cage?"

Loki stared intently at Jabba, and his words were full of profound meaning.

"That depends on your own perspective, but in any case, the situation in Elbach is indeed very bad."

"If that lord in the Navy still doesn't take action, I'm afraid we'll have to save ourselves."

"Do you really want to see Elbaf fall?"

Jabba's expression grew increasingly serious.

Before Prince Loki could reply, Harbin said somewhat discontentedly:
“Jabbar, why do you show such respect to Loki? He doesn’t deserve to be treated like this.”

"He's nothing but a patricide and an ingrate!"

The others also grumbled with dissatisfaction.

But they weren't Haildin, so naturally they didn't dare question Jabba standing to the side.

Jabba smiled and shook his head, saying, "Hayldin, there's more to the story than you think. It's not as simple as you think."

"But now is not the time to explain all this. Let's go back to Elbaf first."

"Then Loki will tell us the truth, so we don't have to explain it to Aruru and the others."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Hajrudin and the other giants changed drastically.

They kept staring at Jabba and Prince Loki.

If Prince Loki had said those words himself, they would have been furious and wouldn't have believed him at all.

But the person who told all this was their highly respected predecessor, Jabba.

This was a powerful figure who once commanded great influence on the seas.

Even in their twilight years, such important figures would have absolutely no need to fabricate such lies to deceive them.

"Could it be that we really misunderstood Loki back then?"

The thought crossed Halding's mind, but he quickly recalled the scene of Prince Loki killing his father.

At that time, the entire city of Elbaf became like a living hell.

"We're absolutely right, the one who's wrong is that guy!"

Halding's expression hardened again.

Prince Loki watched this scene calmly, offering no explanation.

"It seems that it is indeed time for us to join the battle ourselves."

"I do have a way to leave the underworld."

"But you'll have to help me unlock these chains first."

Prince Loki couldn't help but speak softly.

"Can these chains really control you?"

"What has controlled you all these years is your own heart."

Jabba said meaningfully.

Immediately, everyone's attention turned to Prince Loki, who was firmly chained to the ground.

“Back then, I voluntarily went to the dungeon and swore that I would never leave the cage unless Elbaf really needed me.”

“The situation has changed now, but I hope that external forces will help me break free of these chains, rather than me breaking free of them myself.”

"After all, it doesn't matter if I remove certain constraints."

Prince Loki slowly exhaled.

The muscles on his body twitched slightly; he could have easily broken the chains, but he had no intention of doing so.

What he wanted was genuine acceptance from his people, not a forced escape like a prisoner trying to break free.

"Fine, I'll do it then."

Jabba shook his head slightly, quickly stepped forward, and gently swung the two axes in his hands.

A faint slash flashed by, easily severing all the chains covering Prince Loki's body.

Although the chains were specially made of seastone, they were of no use in stopping Jabba's slashes.

boom! !

A heavy sound kept ringing out.

These severed chains were incredibly heavy, and the sound they emitted was extremely muffled.

When all the chains had completely disappeared, Prince Loki slowly exhaled.

hum!
A powerful surge of energy emanated from his mouth and propelled him forward.

The breath he exhaled seemed to instantly transform into a tornado, rapidly sweeping forward.

Click, click, click! !

In the areas swept by the tornado, countless cracks resembling a spider web appeared.

"Haha, this guy looks really strong! I really want to have a good, satisfying battle with him!"

Luffy couldn't help but burst out laughing, his eyes shining as he stared at Prince Loki.

If the situation hadn't been so dire, he would have already personally assessed that guy's strength.

Click, click, click! !

The crisp sound of bones colliding rang out continuously. Prince Loki slowly stood up, shook his head, and controlled the bones in his body to move slowly.

He had not stood upright for many years.

Even when he was talking to Shamrock in the dungeon, his body was still confined to a very subtle angle.

This was the first time in so many years that he had truly stretched his body, stacking his bones in an upright position.

He swayed his body slightly and rediscovered the freedom of controlling his own body.

"This feeling is wonderful!"

Prince Loki shook his arm, and the cracking sound of bones popping became even louder.

It was as if a large number of firecrackers had suddenly been set off, with a continuous crackling sound.

"This guy is still the same as he was back then, extremely strong!"

Hajrudin and the other giants stared at Prince Loki with solemn expressions.

Despite their great confidence in their own strength, they had no confidence whatsoever in suppressing Prince Loki.

Aside from some of the psychological trauma left over from the past, many others felt that Prince Loki was indeed a true powerhouse in their hearts.

The two sides are not even in the same league.

A huge gap in strength cannot be bridged by confidence.

"Do you really have a way to get us all back to Elbaf?"

"Or perhaps it's a return from the underworld to the mortal realm?"

Luffy couldn't help but tilt his head and ask a question.
