It was only a single strike.
And it was clear that this strike could absolutely not be called 'going all out'.
But even so.
The two forr captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, and Saul, once a Marine Vice Admiral, were already completely frozen in ice.
Judging from their shocked eyes within the ice and the still-trembling ice blocks, they still retained consciousness.
But those ice blocks — the kind they could normally shatter at will — were completely immovable under their strength at this mont. They seed not to be blocks of ice, but solid pieces of steel.
Was this created by Prince Loki's ability... Primordial Ice?
And seeing this, Teach opened his mouth and laughed loudly again. "Zehahaha... see that?"
Amidst his low shout, he had already swung the hamr in his hand and smashed it towards the three.
Zzt!
Black-red Conqueror's Haki lightning wrapped around it, and the fierce wind whipped up by the swinging hamr shattered the ground once more. Even the incomparably hard permafrost beneath Utgard Castle's floor cracked apart in an instant.
Even the edge of that massive deep well within Utgard Castle fractured at this mont, fine rocks tumbling downward.
"Loki — this guy is a monster of this caliber. Just a casual strike can destroy everything."
Teach, swinging the hamr, felt that power coursing through his body.
The physique of an ancient Giant, combined with the sea's top-tier three types of Haki, the enhancent to strength and speed from two Mythical Zoan fruits, plus that 'trait' contained within himself.
Even though he had possessed this power for so ti now, he still couldn't help but marvel.
The Cursed Prince Loki was indeed the strongest military force of the 'World's Strongest Nation', Elbaf.
Even among the Giant race, he was a monster among monsters.
And now...
"This power already belongs to !"
"He is the precious legacy my father left for — the first step for to ascend to King of the World!"
And just as he said — if this strike landed, the three Giants frozen in the frost would absolutely die on the spot.
But...
"Hm!?"
The very next mont, Teach's expression froze.
Those bandage-covered eyes stared fixedly ahead.
Only to see—
VMMM!
Starlight spread.
That figure holding the book had appeared before his hamr strike at so unknown mont.
Within the book held by that figure, text was continuously erging under Uma's hand.
[Teach, who has occupied Loki's body, is not completely familiar with utilizing it. Although Loki's consciousness and soul are suppressed, they are still continuously resisting within his body, so Teach's strike will beco weaker and slower — this is very reasonable]
As the text was written, Teach instantly felt his powerful body — obtained from Loki — actually experience a trace of weakness at this mont.
"Oho?"
A curve appeared at the corner of Teach's mouth. "What kind of ability is this?"
But Uma ignored him, silently raising his hand and continuing to write.
[Within this period of ti, Uma has plenty of ti to rescue his three companions — this is very reasonable]
Writing up to this point, Uma finally lowered his hand gently.
"Phantasm · Creation Fire."
The words fell.
Teach then saw magnificent power spreading from within the pages of the book.
"That is..."
Teach's pupils abruptly shrank.
But the next mont—
Fwoosh!
From within the pages of the book, flas ignited amidst that spreading power.
They were bizarre flas intertwined with starlight.
The flas fell downward, lting all those bizarre ice blocks completely in just a split second.
VMMM!
In the air, invisible forces seed to continuously clash, followed by the vibration of mutual annihilation.
The next mont—
"Haha... ha..."
The three Giants broke free from the ice, struggling and shivering as they leaped out from the ice blocks.
"Hoo hiss... so cold..."
"Gegyagyagya... what exactly is up with this guy? He occupied Loki's body and can actually master his abilities too?"
"Lord Uma's ability is truly remarkable — to actually lt Loki's Primordial Ice. That is a creation of 'unlting ice'."
The three were clearly injured quite heavily from the freezing just now. At least right now, even for the two warriors Brogy and Dorry, although they could barely maintain their will to fight, their bodies were trembling slightly.
But they didn't find it strange.
Because as long as one was a warrior of Elbaf, they almost all knew how terrifying Loki's power was.
The Primordial Ice he created using his ability was said to be virtually unltable — even the blacksmiths from the Artisan Village who were skilled with fire admitted as much.
But before they had ti to react further—
"Phantasm · Spatial Transfer."
They saw Uma stretch out his hand again and wave it towards the book in his hand.
The next mont, the three Giants found the scene before them instantly change.
In just a mont, they had appeared in another part of Utgard Castle — precisely the small house beside the deep well.
Around the small house at this mont, a ring resembling starlight already surrounded it, as if forming a barrier of protection.
"You three — this one is not an opponent you can deal with. Please leave him to ."
It wasn't until this mont that they heard Uma's calm words.
"The battle later might cause quite a commotion, so please trouble the three of you to look after the person inside the small house. She should still be alive."
As soon as these words ca out, the three Giants were collectively stunned.
But then they naturally realized — the person Uma was talking about was clearly Ida, residing in the small house.
"Lord Uma!?" ×3
The three Giants naturally frowned.
Especially Dorry and Brogy — they were not the kind of people to hide in the back during a battle.
Not to ntion this matter concerned the future of Elbaf. Prince Loki's body being occupied, and the source of the earthquakes... how could they feel at ease leaving such matters to a guest of Elbaf like Uma?
However, just as they were about to speak—
"..."
Saul, standing beside them, seed to have realized sothing.
He abruptly raised his hand, stopping Dorry and Brogy from speaking.
Under the confused gazes of the two, he gently shook his head and seed to whisper sothing.
Dorry and Brogy's expressions both hardened, and then they nodded.
And right now...
"Zehahahaha, going one-on-one with ?"
Teach glanced at the three Giants, grinning.
But judging from his tone, he clearly didn't care at all.
"But that makes sense."
He rely looked at Uma before him. "How could mortals like them intervene in our battle?"
"However — this is truly unexpected."
In his eyes, there was heartfelt joy and fanaticism.
It was as if he had finally found the door leading to his ambition, and the key to opening it...
"Aside from Star Lord, other mbers of your Zodiac actually possess 'Divine Power' as well."
"No, it's not just Divine Power... I have never seen your fruit ability in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. Such a Devil Fruit simply doesn't exist in this world."
He seed to have arrived at so conclusion.
"Sure enough — Star Lord, just like that one in the World Governnt, is a 'God'!"
