Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Shen Jue did not choose to dodge the attack.

He raised his right hand, extending only his index finger, and pointed it toward the hammer that could smash a mountain into a basin.

Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and in an instant, lightning roared and struck the iron thunder!

This is one of the Nidhogg Devil Fruit powers that Loki ate: the ability to control lightning!

In contrast, Loki seems to have used the Rumble-Rumble Fruit as a stepping stone.

Apart from the thunderclouds, extreme cold erupted from the iron thunder!

This hammer blow! Aside from the terrifying physical destructive power that could smash a mountain into a basin!

It also possesses lightning and icy attacks comparable to those unleashed by users of Logia Devil Fruits!

It was as if Enel, Aokiji, and Garp had combined their strongest attack!

The moment the fingertips touched the surface of the Iron Thunder Hammer, a golden light exploded from the point of contact!

The Nine Heavens of Primordial Magnetic Energy rotated! It enveloped the thunderclouds and extreme cold that were wrapped around the giant hammer!

Thunderclouds were torn apart like shredded paper by the power of the Yuan Magnetic Rotation Nine Heavens!

The freezing air reversed, causing the temperature within a radius of several miles to plummet, even freezing the ice-crystal-like snowflakes in mid-air!

Loki's smile froze.

He felt as if his hammer blow had struck not just one person, but the very core of the Earth, the deepest part of the ocean.

The recoil force surged back wildly along the handle of the Iron Thunder hammer, like a hundred sea monsters biting his arm at the same time.

The wrist bone made a teeth-grinding cracking sound, and the tiger's mouth instantly split open, spurting out blood.

He gritted his teeth and tried to press the hammer down, but the slender fingertip didn't budge an inch, and even had some strength left to support it slightly.

"Here you go."

Shen Jue's voice was very soft, yet it drowned out all the sounds of the wind in the world.

He flicked his finger.

The iron thunder emitted a deafening roar that was almost a mournful cry, and the patterns on the surface of the hammer distorted for a moment.

Loki's entire right arm swung backward suddenly, and his fingers could no longer grip it.

Iron Thunder flew backward from his grasp, transforming into a black lightning bolt that pierced through the wind and snow, crashing straight towards the world tree that blotted out the sky.

"boom!"

Iron Thunder slammed into the trunk of the World Tree, causing the entire World Tree to shake violently!

The frozen soil at the tree roots cracked layer by layer! A flash of light appeared at the point of impact, and Tie Lei's enormous, exaggerated weapon form quickly transformed back into its original form: a squirrel with a giant hammer on its head.

A huge, bright red bump quickly swelled up on its head, and it saw stars before sliding down the tree trunk.

Tie Lei let out a miserable scream and fell into the snow. His limbs twitched and his head swayed before he finally collapsed to the ground.

Loki knelt on one knee, his right arm hanging at his side, blood dripping from between his fingers and falling onto the snow.

He looked down at his trembling hands, then looked up at the black-haired youth in mid-air, and suddenly grinned, revealing an almost manic laugh.

The entire city of Elbaf shook violently from the impact.

"earthquake?"

"It's the direction of the underworld!"

"Could it be... that guy... he didn't actually break free, did he?!"

In the village of giants, the giants burst out of their enormous houses.

"Quick! To the underworld!"

The giant warriors, like moving hills, raced toward the entrance to the underworld.

The earth trembled beneath their footsteps.

In this torrent, two figures were inconspicuous, yet they arrived above the underworld before anyone else.

Rayleigh stood on a protruding boulder, his eyes slightly narrowed behind his glasses.

He was still carrying a half-empty jug of wine, his expression somewhat complicated: "Jabba, can you feel it?"

Jabba, carrying his double axes, gazed through the wind and snow: "Loki's full-force attack, combined with Ironhide's impact, was blocked by that monster."

"Moreover, it was very easy to block."

"More than just easy." Rayleigh pushed up his glasses.

"Our Prince Loki is like a naive child in front of him."

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated their Observation Haki, heading towards the center of the Netherworld pit to sense its depths.

Numerous giants descended from the sky, carrying the unique clouds and rainbows of Elbaf, and landed in the underworld.

The snow gradually dissipated.

The sight in the center of the deep pit stunned all the giants who had arrived at the scene.

Loki knelt on one knee on the snow, his right arm bleeding profusely, his body, which had been bound by seastone chains for years, was finally freed.

Those chains that once paralyzed even Devil Fruit users are now nowhere to be seen.

Beside the World Tree, the giant squirrel Tie Lei lay sprawled in the snow, a huge bulge on its head, making soft "squeak" sounds.

Before Loki, a human youth slowly descended from mid-air, his boots making no sound as they touched the snow.

He withdrew his finger, a kind smile on his face.

"That person looks so familiar!"

"Could it be! That human defeated Loki?!"

"Holy crap! It's the new Fleet Admiral, Shen Jue!"

"One of the most terrifying monsters of the sea!"

"Gurgle! When did this monster arrive in Elbaf so silently?!"

The elders of the giant race were shocked; some instinctively gripped their weapons, while others involuntarily took a step back.

Rayleigh and Jabba emerged from the giants.

"The new Fleet Admiral, Shen Jue." Rayleigh adopted an extremely humble posture.

"May I ask what brings you, the overlord of the new world, to Elbaf?"

Jabba slung the axe over his shoulder, squinted, and chose not to speak.

As the first pirate in the One Piece world to attend university, he has always disliked the Marines.

Moreover, Shen Jue is a naval marshal.

Although the new navy has an excellent reputation in the New World.

But he had waited so long in Elbaf, not for a navy that upheld justice.

Shen Jue didn't answer directly, but first looked at Loki: "Can you still move your hand?"

Loki swung his right arm, and his knuckles cracked a few times.

He grinned, his gleaming white teeth flashing menacingly in the snow: "A minor injury! That flick of yours almost ruined my entire arm, hahaha!"

"That was awesome! That was really great!"

He stood up, his massive body standing out among the many giants.

He turned to look at Tie Lei, who was still rolling around in a daze beside the World Tree, and laughed even louder: "That Tie Lei guy, this is the first time he's been forced back to his original form!"

Tie Lei seemed to hear it. He groggily propped up his front paws, the big bump on his head shook, let out a mournful "squeak," and then fell back into the snow with a "thud."

"Brother Shen Jue, there are more and more giants." Hina's voice came from behind. She was standing on the deck of the warship, holding her military cap.

Shirahoshi leaned out halfway, her eyes sparkling as she stared intently at the giant squirrel, Tere, in the snow.

Although the Iron Thunder is enormous, it is indeed quite cute.

Shen Jue nodded and looked at the giants who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

"I came to Elbaf, not to declare war." His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire underworld.

"The Seastone chains are gone, Loki is free."

"The new Navy is going to war with the World Government. I want to overthrow the rule of the World Government and the King of the World."

"Elbaf can choose to remain a bystander, or he can choose to join the war."

"As the admiral of the new navy, are you here to force Elbaf to side with the new navy?" an old giant asked in a trembling voice.

Shen Jue smiled slightly and said, "Of course."

"If you have any other ideas."

"You can also tell me."

After saying that, Shen Jue's smile became a little exaggerated, and the giants present suddenly felt the terrifying gap brought about by the difference in strength!

The weapons in their hands fell to the ground!

Shen Jue looked at Loki and said, "Is your capacity sufficient?"

Loki shouted, "Enough! I, Loki, join your war!"

Rayleigh sighed softly and murmured, "It seems this world is truly about to undergo a tremendous change."

"A new era is coming."

Jabba smiled, his eyes filled with seriousness. He thought to himself, "They want the entire giant race to join the new Navy?"

"Loki may be the prince of the giants, but he is still a sinner among the giants, burdened with the name of killing his father."

"This new admiral seems somewhat naive."
