One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Luffy, Zoro, and Nami are deep in the underworld, and Luffy is raising his fist at Loki.

Hajrudin was struck by the Iron Lightning and sent flying, while the giants of the New Giant Warrior Pirates lay sprawled on the ground.

At the Giants Academy, Saint Somaz and that guy named Saint Kirin Gom are using the Nightmare Fruit to control the children.

As for Loki.

After two brief bursts of full power, coupled with the brutal beating he had received from Junzi and Shamlock, his aura was now extremely weak.

However, Roy believed that with the powerful physique of the ancient giants, coupled with the Mythical Zoan type Nidhogg Devil Fruit passed down through generations in Elbaf,

Having broken free from the restraints of the seastone chains, recovery is only a matter of time.

Meanwhile, deep within the underworld.

Because he had been tricked, Luffy's Giant Fist had expanded to its limit, with black and red Conqueror's Haki lightning coiling around his fist like countless mad snakes.

"Damn it! Loki!"

Luffy's roar echoed through the abyss, and the force of his punch swept up all the rubble and tree root debris on the ground, forming a visible shockwave.

Loki's vertical pupils reflected a fist larger than his head.

He instinctively raised the iron thunderbolt, attempting to block it.

But as soon as he raised his arm halfway up, it seemed as if all his strength had been drained away, and it hung limply down.

The force of the punch grazed past his ear.

Behind him, several tree roots thicker than water vats were blasted into dust by the force of the punch, and the wood chips flew in all directions like shrapnel, embedding themselves in the rock wall.

The Adam Tree behind Loki was affected by the force of the punch, and a crack more than ten meters long appeared on the surface of its trunk.

But Loki himself was not hit.

His body slowly leaned back, like a tree uprooted and crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Luffy was stunned.

He remained in the punching stance, his fist still suspended in the air, his face filled with astonishment.

"Hey—! How did you fall down by yourself! I haven't even hit you yet!"

Zoro was the first to rush over to check.

He crouched down beside Loki, examined the frozen wound on Loki's chest, and then reached out to check Loki's breathing and pulse, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"The wound on his chest has reopened. His internal organs are damaged, and he has lost too much blood."

Zoro stood up, his expression grave. "This body has long since reached its limit. It's a miracle that it's lasted this long."

Nami stood not far away, her voice trembling:

"What was with that aura just now! He clearly looked so strong..."

"A final burst of energy before death."

Zoro said,

"Or rather, he's forcibly propped up by willpower. This man... is no ordinary person."

Luffy's expression slowly changed from surprise to seriousness.

He walked up to Loki, looked down at the giant who was dozens of times larger than himself, and pursed his lips into a thin line.

"Hey, don't die!" Luffy said. "You still owe me news about Shanks."

Haildin was helped over by his two giant teammates.

He clutched his abdomen with one hand, gasping for breath with every step, but his eyes sharpened instantly when he saw the unconscious Loki.

"Bring the sea-stone chains! Now! Tie him up again!"

Several giants responded and went to pick up the chains that had been untied.

"no."

Luffy stood in their way.

Haildin's eyes widened:

"Are you insane?! He was just about to destroy Elbaf! You heard it with your own ears!"

"He hasn't told me about Shanks yet," Luffy said, his tone unusually calm.

"You still believe him?!"

"How so?"

Luffy scratched his head.

"Although he just tricked me."

But I don't think he's a bad person.

Moreover, he definitely knows something about Shanks.

Heldin was so angry he was trembling.

He shoved aside his companion who was supporting him, stood unsteadily in front of Luffy, and glared down at him.

"You're willing to gamble the entire Elbaf for a piece of information about a pirate?"

Luffy looked up and met Hajrudin's gaze.

In that instant, Halding saw something he had never seen in the eyes of this jovial boy before.

It was a deep, unwavering seriousness, like the pressure at the deepest part of the sea—unassuming, yet so heavy it was suffocating.

"If he continues to cause trouble, I will beat him down again and tie him up again."

Luffy said, word by word,

"But he can't die before he tells me about Shanks."

He paused.

"You're a warrior of Elbaf, you wouldn't lay a hand on the wounded, would you?"

Haildin's teeth were grinding together.

He stared at Luffy for a full ten seconds, then, as if using up all his strength, he suddenly turned around and roared at the ship's doctor behind him:

"Save him! Don't let him die!"

The ship's doctors rushed forward and began treating Loki's wounds.

The seastone chains hadn't yet ensnared Loki, but several giant warriors, weapons in hand, stood around him, warily watching his every move.

Luffy squatted down next to Loki and patted his arm.

"Hey, don't die. You still owe me news."

Meanwhile, the tremors coming from the upper realm grew increasingly violent.

Firelight seeped down from the cracks in the cave ceiling, illuminating the underworld in an intermittent glow.

Burning ashes fell from above, like a black and red snowfall.

Zoro looked up and said, "Luffy, something's happened up there."

Luffy stood up and patted the dirt off his butt:

"Let's go! Let's help!"

He flipped over and jumped onto the giant wolf's back, turning back to look at Haldin:

"You come too, your companions are still fighting up there."

Hajrudin glanced at the unconscious Loki, then at the firelight above, and gritted his teeth.

He ordered the ship's doctor to stay behind to treat and monitor Loki, while he led the remaining members of the New Giant Warrior Pirates to catch up with Luffy.

The group ran back up the road they had come from.

The giant wolf's four paws darted across the rock face, Luffy sat on its back, the surrounding air grew hotter and hotter, and his nostrils were filled with the smell of burning and blood.

He pulled his straw hat down low, and his eyes shone frighteningly bright in the darkness.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry—!"

There was no fear in his voice, only an urgent, almost overflowing fighting spirit.

When Luffy and his crew appeared at the entrance to the upper realm.

The sight before them stunned everyone.

Black smoke billowed from the direction of the village, obscuring the sun, and flames spread from the Adam Tree in all directions, making the giant tree look like a torch stuck between heaven and earth.

But what's truly terrifying are the monsters that keep pouring out of the flames.

They vary in size and shape; some resemble spiders with dozens of legs, others look like half-rotten sea monsters, and still others are simply a cloud of black mist with countless sharp claws extending out.

They crawled out of classroom windows, emerged from the rubble of burned-out houses, and squeezed out from cracks in the ground, their numbers seemingly inexhaustible.

Giant warriors wielded swords and axes, hacking and slashing through the monster horde.

With each strike, the monster was cleaved in two, but the two halves would turn into black mist upon hitting the ground. The black mist would churn for a few seconds before…

The monster reformed, emitting a piercing shriek, and continued to pounce on the nearest living creature.
