One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 315 Let Me Witness Even Greater Miracles

"Mr. Wu Ma!"

"Your Excellency Wu Ma!"

Seeing the dark soul directly enter Wu Ma's body, Brogy and the others' expressions changed instantly, and they subconsciously exclaimed in surprise.

Loki's massive dragon body trembled instantly, and its claws clenched tightly once more.

"Buzz!"

The power of the Nidhogg Fruit was activated, and an invisible soul binding swept over Wu Ma, attempting to forcibly separate Teach's soul from Wu Ma's body.

But
"."

In just a moment, Loki's expression turned gloomy.

He could sense that when his ability was capturing Teach's soul from within Wu Ma's body, he could no longer distinguish the differences between the two souls—Teach had already begun to parasitize.

"It's his awakened fruit ability."

As someone who had been parasitized by Teach, Loki, despite being the one who was suppressed during the parasitism, inevitably gained some knowledge about Teach's abilities.

Therefore, it was immediately determined that Teach was using the only effect of his awakened fruit, 'Eternal Parasite'.

"What exactly is going on with this guy's soul?"

His somber gaze drifted to the side—where the three fragments of souls previously destroyed by his and Wu Ma's power lay like flickering candles in the wind.

This is precisely what puzzled Loki.

"Three complete souls. No mistake."

As the master of the land of the dead, he could sense the essence of these three souls—they all belonged to Teach and shared similar auras.

But as souls, they are each complete and independent individuals.

This was completely beyond Loki's comprehension.

Simultaneously
"Just like back then."

Loki's expression was grim.

He still remembers the time he met Teach not long ago.

As most of the giants of Elbaf knew—invaders had appeared in the underworld at that time.

And that intruder was 'Teach'.

At that time, he possessed the body of an unknown pirate and traveled from Dressrosa to Elbaf.

Because he revealed his identity as the son of Rocks and a descendant of the David family, Loki was not on guard against him, which allowed Teach to seize the opportunity to use his Devil Fruit power.

But that's where the problem lies.

When he was attacked, Loki's instincts as a powerful warrior allowed him to react exceptionally well in the first instant.

He withstood Teach's attack without falling into a coma, and even engaged in a spiritual battle with Teach.

At that time, Loki had already realized that Teach's soul was unusually powerful.

And from the fact that his body was ultimately taken over, it can be seen that his proud will and soul were completely suppressed by Teach, to the point that he couldn't even control his body to call for help or alert the giants of Elbaf.

Now, he seemed to finally see the reason.

Teach's soul was never that of an ordinary human being, but rather, including himself, it was equivalent to four normal people—and he also had three special 'souls' within him.

No wonder Loki lost to him in the battle of souls.

After all, although giants are naturally extremely powerful in terms of physical strength, they are no different from normal people in terms of their souls.

"But how could a human being have four completely different souls?"

While he was filled with such doubts, Loki raised his claws and pulled the three souls to his side to examine them closely—he knew that he had to figure out the secret of Teach's soul in order to have any chance of helping Wu Ma.

Then, Loki was stunned.

Because when he used the power of the Kingdom of the Dead to slowly reshape those three originally shattered souls.

He then realized that the three souls, after being reshaped, did not resemble Teach, but rather the outlines of three women.

One of them was a middle-aged woman with short hair.

The other two were two young girls.

That is…

Loki, who had once merged with Teach's soul, instinctively recognized the three people at this moment—especially the middle-aged woman, whom Loki had even heard people mention before.

“Loki, if you are still alive after the Star Lord appears and you overthrow the Abyss, then go to the Kingdom of Lulusia as my last crew member.”

Those were the words that Rocks said with a smile when they met for the last time and when he handed over the responsibility to him.

"Alice Verdandy, Skuld."

Loki realized their identities.

They were Teach's mother and his two sisters, Rocks' wife and daughter.

At that moment, Loki almost bit his own dragon teeth to pieces.

Even though he had always considered himself a monster, he had never seen a monster like Teach before.

"He actually merged the souls of his mother and sister into his own?"

He couldn't imagine what kind of monster could do such a thing.

And it was at this very moment.
"Boom!"

In the land of the dead, a great earthquake trembled.

Loki could see—far away, the enormous, centuries-old precious tree, Adam, its branches falling.

Huge pebbles and leaves continued to fall from within the treetop canopy.

The entire world seemed to be groaning in mourning at that moment.

"Loki!"

"Prince Loki!"

At that moment, the three giants arrived beside Loki and Ida.

They first glanced anxiously at Wu Ma, who was already lost in thought and unaware of the situation, then looked at Loki: "Elbaf is completely collapsing, and we..."

"You and my mother should return to the mortal realm immediately to help Halding oversee the evacuation. I will try my best to control the intensity of the 'natural disasters' in Elbaf and prevent them from descending immediately!"

Loki, at this moment, also displayed the decisiveness he had shown as the ruler of the underworld over the years.

He instantly transformed back into human form, his snake eyes now fully revealed as he looked at the three giants and his mother before him: "I must stay here and await the final outcome!"

He made a clear judgment almost instantly.

The situation is now quite clear.

After Wu Ma had Jabba and the giant spirits sever the last roots of Elbaf and used the bloodline factor energy within them to save Loki.

Adam the Tree naturally couldn't hold on any longer.

It is completely collapsing and will soon wither away completely.

At that time, Elbaf and the giants left in the trees were doomed to die—the entire island would sink into the sea.

Loki trusted his brother—though the latter probably didn't know the full story yet, he was sure he would make the right choice with the help of the Crown of Wisdom.

He will definitely evacuate all the giants in Elbaf as soon as possible.

That's why he sent the three giants back to the mortal realm with Ida to help, and to retreat together.

Of course, as the 'King of the Heavens', Loki has the ability to control natural disasters.

He could not stop Elbaf from sinking, but he could control the intensity of the Elbaf disaster—which would buy the giants some time to evacuate.

"."

Upon hearing this, the three giants' expressions changed drastically.

Although I had already guessed this fact in my heart.

But even they couldn't suppress the heaviness in their hearts when they actually heard that 'Elbaf is about to sink'. Elbaf was the land of the giants—if it were gone, where could the giants go?

"how about you?"

At this moment, it was Date who responded first.

"And Mr. Wu Ma."

Compared to the three giants, she appeared more resolute and calm—after all, she was a giant from overseas and had experienced this feeling of displacement before.

So, compared to Elbaf, she is now more concerned about Loki himself and Wu Ma.

"I will stay here to protect Wu Ma's body."

Loki glanced at Wu Ma, then stated his decision directly.

“His soul is in a ‘battle’ with Teach, and his body is very vulnerable right now.”

"If Wu Ma ultimately wins the battle of souls, I will immediately take him back to the mortal realm to help."

At this point, Loki also gently raised his hand.

The next moment.
"boom!"

Iron Thunder, which had been thrown somewhere during the previous battle, now flew directly into his hand.

From the handle of Ironhide's hammer, a furry tail even extended out and kept rubbing against Loki, as if cheering.

"You've suffered a lot, Tie Lei—because of me, you've also suffered."

Loki was the first to apologize to his hammer.

Yes.

The user of the Nidhogg Fruit can control Iron Ray by controlling souls and devouring bloodline factor energy; Iron Ray is the 'master' Iron Ray has chosen for himself.

However, because his body had been controlled by Teach, Ironhide's soul was also suppressed, forcing him to obey Teach's commands.

Only now, with Loki regaining his body, has Tierley regained his freedom.

That is precisely why.
"If Wu Ma ultimately loses, then..."

"I will work with Tie Lei to completely annihilate this monster here."

Loki stroked his weapon and said in a deep voice.

His words contained the unwavering determination and resolve unique to a warrior.

At the same time, his hand slowly touched his waist—where, hidden, was something resembling a 'den den mushi' (snail phone).

That was the Den Den Mushi he used to communicate with his friend 'PongPongKong'.

Loki knew the true identity of 'Pom Pompom', so correspondingly, 'Teach,' whose soul had merged with his, naturally knew it as well.

Loki was certain that if Teach took over Wu Ma's body, then, since he couldn't do anything to Wu Ma for the time being, he would likely go to 'Peng Peng Gong'—she, like Loki, was an extremely special being.

Therefore, he would not allow Teach, such a dangerous and inhuman monster, to leave this place under any circumstances.

He knows too many secrets, which pose a far greater threat than natural disasters.

Whether it's out of a promise to 'Rocks,' revenge for Elbaf, revenge for Wu Ma, or the responsibility he bears for the world—Loki will be here, fighting to the death with his opponent.

"."

Upon hearing Loki's resolute words, Ida was taken aback.

She gazed intently at her adopted son.

Then, the giantess, who had no title of queen, smiled and said, "I am very happy, Loki."

“I have not disappointed Harald’s expectations. You have grown into an outstanding ‘king’.”

As she spoke, she walked over to Loki and hugged him—though she was quite small compared to the size of Loki's 'Ancient Giant' physique.

"Your brother and I will be waiting for you to come back."

She spoke softly, not stopping her son's choice.

Then she turned her head and said, "Dongli, Brogy, Saul—I order in the name of Regent Hajrudin and Loki's mother, Lord of the Underworld, that we return to the Land of the Living immediately to help those in need!"

She shouted.

"Yes!" *3
Looking at this valiant giantess and Loki's resolute expression.

The three giants wanted to say something more, but in the end they said nothing.

They simply nodded, and then left the Land of the Dead with Ida.

Before long, only two people remained.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The earth was cracking and crumbling, and huge tree trunks and boulders were falling from the sky.

But just as the cracked earth was about to split open, it was swept up by the gale and thunder and forcibly pressed together, while the falling boulders and tree trunks were destroyed by the thunder during their descent.

"."

Meanwhile, Loki, who was silently controlling the natural disasters around him and protecting Wu Ma, carried Tie Lei on his shoulder and sat cross-legged in front of Wu Ma.

"Hey, astrologer. Although this is our first meeting, you are the subordinate of that 'star lord'."

He exhaled and looked at Wu Ma.

“Lox said that the Star Lord is the guy who is best at creating ‘miracles’.”

"Well, I admit that it's a miracle that you were able to 'wake me up' again, but that's not enough."

He gripped the hammer handle tightly and spoke deeply.

"Let me see—a true miracle."

"Hahaha! There will be no miracle—give up, Wu Ma!"

And just as Loki was filled with such anticipation.

Deep within Wu Ma's soul, Teach was laughing maniacally: "If Loki could really bring himself to kill you, I'd admit defeat—but that so-called cursed prince is a cowardly fellow."

"He can't bring himself to kill you, his benefactor!"

Amidst Teach's maniacal laughter.

"Indeed, as far as I know, Loki should be a pretty good guy."

Wu Ma's response remained very calm.

"But...give up?"

"I don't even understand what you're saying. Aren't you the one who walked right into the trap?"

Upon hearing this, Teach's laughter abruptly stopped.

"you say."

Then, his voice instantly turned cold: "Walking into a trap?"

"You really don't understand the situation."

“My soul has entered your body; you have lost.”

He said with a cold laugh.

"I understand. You think that your and Loki's attack just now wiped out the three 'nutrients' in my body, and that my soul would become weak?"

"Don't joke around—they were part of my power. I originally intended to use their souls to extract the power left behind by Joy Boy. It's a pity to lose them now, but it doesn't really matter."

His voice carried a clear air of boasting and arrogance.

“I will definitely beat you—I am 'David'.”

“My ancestor was the ‘First Cursed One’—his pact with the Abyss changed the soul of our race.”

"David's blood will never fade, David's will will never be extinguished in the battle of souls; no one can defeat me!"
