One Piece: I am the Master of Black Magic

"How much do you really know?

Loki looked at Annie with inquiring eyes, becoming even more defensive.

"Not much, just a little more than you."

"For example, the last king, Farbuti, was strong and powerful, so how could he die of illness during the battle?"

"For example, Queen Laufei had a difficult delivery and managed to survive, but her health deteriorated."

"For example, how do some ambitious people who covet the throne create conflicts, start wars, and divide the country step by step?"

Every word Annie said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Loki's heart hard.

He seemed to have returned to those days when he kept secrets, was trembling with fear, and couldn't sleep at night.

His mother's last words before her death still rang in his ears, and panic and fear overwhelmed him bit by bit.

"For another example, what is the person behind these things, the person who makes you always fearful, doing all this?"

Anne's last words were like the straw that broke the camel's back.

Loki's back was already soaked with sweat, but when he heard Annie say these words, he felt inexplicably relieved as if a heavy burden had been thrown away.

His mother told him not to tell anyone the secret.

He grew up carrying these heavy secrets alone.

Now suddenly someone, who knew everything, saw the darkness above Elbaf's head.

It was as if someone suddenly took some of the weight off of him.

"Actually, I don't have a choice, do I?"

When he looked at Annie again, his whole body had relaxed a lot.

Annie raised her eyebrows, feeling quite surprised.

The giants are huge in size but have small brains.

Most people are straightforward, simple-minded, and don't have so many twists and turns.Not to mention understanding the situation at hand and understanding the implication of other people’s words.

But Loki is an outlier among them.

At least, of all the giants she had met, Loki was the smartest.

"Yes."

"You have no conditions that you can negotiate with us."

"If it weren't for the fact that the fighting power of the giants is still of some value, the Revolutionary Army would not have worked hard here at all."

"It's the same thing now."

"We are pirates, it is easy to leave Elbaf."

"The charges you have charged us with are harmless to us."

"Including Fretis and her family."

"As long as we want to, we can take their family away from Elbaf safely and send them to a place more suitable for their survival."

Loki opened his palms and smiled helplessly.

"guessed."

Seeing that he was a little depressed, Annie thought for a while and said, "If you knew the whole truth, you would probably choose the Revolutionary Army."

After understanding the hidden meaning in her words, Loki no longer hesitated.

"Okay, I promise you."

"As long as you can do what you promised, you have the final say on what will happen to Elbaf in the future."

A powerful partner comes to your doorstep, and this opportunity is once in a lifetime.

If he missed it, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

Anne suppressed her turbulent mood and stretched out her hand towards Loki with a gentle smile.

"Pleasant to work with."

Loki reached out and shook it.

"Pleasant to work with."

The smart children have already understood the tricks of the two men's fight, and some children have become drowsy and drooling.

"Since you know the cause of my parents' death and the inside story of that year, can you tell me now?"

Annie shook her head: "I only know a little more than you."

"what?"

"You fool me?"

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

Annie waved her hand at him.

"It's easy to know these things. As long as someone with knowledge is alive, give me two hours to find out everything for you."

Thinking of her weird methods, Loki suppressed his violent emotions and looked at her with a sullen face.

"So what's our first step?"

"The first step~"

Annie held her head and thought for two seconds.

"We have to create greater conflicts and muddy the waters of Elbaf. Bring all the forces that are ready to move into this war.

The bigger the incident, the better. It would be better if it could attract the attention of the whole country or arouse public indignation across the country. "

"Is this really good?"

Loki was worried.

He just wants to dig out those behind the scenes, and he doesn’t want to be the enemy of Quan Elbaf!

"Why panic? It won't come back all at once."

"You have been sitting on the position of heir for so many years, don't you think you don't have any manpower at all?"

Loki looked a little embarrassed.

"Yes, but they may not be able to speak on this matter."

Annie frowned.

"Tell me who they are."

"My friends Rod and Goldo, and their partners Helding, Statham, and Geertz."

"In the escort, Dropnir, Frey, Gulimbos, Sif.

"And my mother's maid, Angel Boda, who has been taking care of me since I was a child."

Annie rolled her eyes.

"There are 10 people in total, half of them are ours. They are not in Elbaf yet."

Loki was also a little unnatural.

But having been raised by a Presbyterian, he had few opportunities to come into contact with other people.

Several people in the escort army were his cronies who had finally managed to get in.

Rod and Goldo appeared as playmates with Loki because they were born on the same day as Loki and were related to Angel Boda.

"Well, it's not easy for you either."

Annie sighed.

"Can you inform Hailding and the others now?"

"can."

"Ask them if they can come back within four days. One more person means more combat power."

"Why 4 days?"

"Because your Winter Solstice Festival only ends in four days."

"Giant warriors should not be underestimated. But warriors who have been hungry for 12 days, hehe~"

Annie rolled her eyes and smiled particularly slyly.

Loki and everyone suddenly realized.

While you are sick, I will kill you!

What a dirty trick!

"You should go back first. It would be bad if you were discovered after being out for so long.

Regarding the inside story you want to know, I will help you find out in the next few days.

How to bring everyone in, this matter is left to you.

Let Elbaf liven up so we can move more easily.

I'm waiting to hear from you. "

"I?"

"uh-huh."

Loki frowned.

"Okay, I'll do my best."

"By the way! Does Elbaf have something that other islands don't have?"

"What do you mean?"

"For example, there are powerful energy boulders, special geological landforms, mysterious creatures of unknown origin, etc."

Loki frowned and thought for two seconds.

"correct!"

"There seems to be a mysterious creature in the forbidden area of ​​the palace."

Annie's eyes lit up.

"What creature?"

"I don't know. It's a forbidden area and only the great elders can go in. I also accidentally broke into it when I was a child and saw it by chance."

"It's very big and has blue eyes. It should be a living thing."

Annie's curiosity about Elbaf deepened.

"The forbidden area...sounds very interesting..."
