General Lanlin of One Piece

The world's most powerful country, the giant village, Elbaf.

"boom!"

With a thunderous roar, a volcano deep in the island erupted. Thousands of tons of scorching red magma spewed out from the crater, like a giant red sword piercing the sky, rushing into the sky, rubbing against the air, bringing out crackling lightning and billowing black smoke.

When the ejected lava flow rises to a certain height, it falls down again, like flowers scattered by fairies, turning into countless lava rains and sprinkling on the earth.

Balls of scorching magma smashed onto the vast land, causing countless giant beasts to flee.

In this doomsday-like scene, an inky black skeleton was carried by magma and ejected from the crater. After being thrown several thousand meters away, it fell from the sky like a sharp arrow, and with a puff, it pierced through the neck of a giant Triceratops that was running in the magma, nailing it heavily to the ground.

A few hours later, the eruption of the volcano stopped, and a giant carrying a huge axe walked out of the forest in the distance, happily picking up the corpses of wild animals killed by the volcanic eruption along the way.

Soon, he came to the dead Triceratops. He had been lurking in the forest when the volcano erupted, keeping an eye on the movements of this large, fleshy beast.

"Great! The meat of the armored triceratops is delicious. It is Prince Loki's favorite meat. With this beast, I have a gift to congratulate His Royal Highness on his accession to the throne. His Royal Highness will definitely be very happy."

The giant grinned, revealing a happy smile.

However, when he came to the huge Triceratops lying motionless on the ground, he was stunned on the spot.

"Huh? What's going on? Am I dazzled? I clearly saw a Triceratops that was killed by lava not long ago, how did it turn into a Triceratops skeleton?"

In front of him, the Triceratops, which was still full of energy a few hours ago and was fleeing frantically under the lava and fire rain of the volcanic eruption, had now turned into a huge, bony skeleton.

Looking at the huge Triceratops skeleton in front of him that was as big as a mountain, the giant rubbed his eyes in doubt of life.

He walked closer with his eyes wide open, and after careful observation, he realized that something was wrong.

The Triceratops in front of him was not a real skeleton, but a shriveled flesh and blood, with only a layer of skin tightly wrapped around the bones. And what was a bit weird was that this state of shriveled flesh and blood was rapidly deepening under the giant's nose.

He watched helplessly as the shriveled flesh on the Triceratops' body became even more shrunken, looking like a rotten skeleton after being exposed to the sun for decades.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see a few imperceptible arcs of electricity, shuttling through the huge body of the Triceratops and finally converging on the head of the Triceratops.

To prove that he was not mistaken, the giant slowly stretched out his fingers and touched the skin of the Triceratops.

However, as soon as his fingers touched it, the shriveled flesh on the Triceratops skeleton began to crack, and countless tiny cracks appeared on the rotten bones. With a series of crisp crackling sounds, the huge skeleton like a mountain shattered into pieces and collapsed with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust that made the giant cough repeatedly.

"What are you doing?"

The giant was even more confused, as he had never seen such a strange phenomenon before.

A living, breathing large beast turned into dust right before his eyes. It felt as if time for this Triceratops was accelerated thousands of times, and it went through its entire life in a short period of time, from being full of vitality to being buried in the ground and weathered.

He waved his hand to clear away the smoke and dust in front of his eyes. Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise, leaned over and grabbed a three-meter-tall human skeleton as black as ink from the pile of collapsed Triceratops skeletons.

As the giant's fingers touched him, he felt a tingling electric shock coming from the black skeleton in his hands, which made him shudder involuntarily.

"This...what is this?"

Dozens of minutes later, in an empty space in the center of the Elbaf village, there was a bustling crowd. Giants, who were twenty or thirty meters tall and as strong as mountains, waved their hands and cheered like thunder, watching a battle between giants to succeed the throne.

In the field, there was a sturdy, bearded giant who was at least 25 meters tall, holding a double-edged axe that was more than ten meters long. He stood on the left like a god, overlooking a short and fat giant who was less than 15 meters tall, as fat as a ball, and had little muscle on his body.

"Loki, my only child of Odin, are you sure you want to challenge me, the king of the giants, and charge for the throne today?"

The voice of the Giant King Odin was like thunder, making the eardrums of the giants watching around him buzz.

In response to the Giant King's question, the short and fat Giant named Loki grinned, revealing a mouthful of uneven teeth. "Lolololo, that's right, father. Please abdicate. Leave the position of Giant King to me. I will bring Elbaf back to the top of the world and restore the glorious era of the giant kingdom!"

Hearing his son's arrogant words, the Giant King Odin's face did not show the slightest displeasure. Instead, he smiled. He raised his head and laughed, "Oh ha ha ha ha! You are worthy of being my son, Loki. I hope you can really do it. It doesn't matter if Nika of this generation has failed. As long as we, the Giants, are still here, there is still hope of saving the world! Because, Joyboy, came out of my Elbaf, and this is the hometown of the Sun God! Tell me, Loki! Do you have the confidence to inherit Joyboy's will and become the Sun God of this era!"

"My child is the one who takes the responsibility!"

As Loki responded, a series of illusory figures as tall as mountains and as big as giant gods appeared behind Loki one after another, as if in a dream. In their hands, they held huge axes, swords, round shields, spears, chain hammers, flails, and all kinds of weapons, surrounding Loki like a king.

Odin looked at the giant shadows surrounding Loki, and a flash of sadness emerged in his eyes. But soon, this sadness turned into excitement, heroism, and passionate fighting spirit.

He tore off the snow-white animal skin he was wearing, revealing his muscular chest covered with mottled scars. He roared wildly, and a storm of domineering aura burst out from his tall and majestic body, sweeping in all directions, making the giants who were watching dizzy, staggering and falling.

"Come on! Loki! If your father loses, I will also volunteer to be your guardian, just like those Elbaf warriors you defeated!"

"Father! I won't let you down! I will become the strongest king in the history of the giants! I will become the Joyboy of this era!"

Loki's body was stupid and fat, but the aura he exuded was no weaker than that of the Giant King, and was even stronger.

An inky black halo appeared on the surface of his fair skin, wrapping him up like a huge iron ball, and he officially charged towards his father.

As Loki rushed forward, the phantoms of giants gathered behind him followed closely. One of the phantoms holding a broadsword inadvertently sank into Loki's body. The next moment, Loki's eyes turned bloodshot and he roared wildly. His short and fat body swelled up like air. Muscles like steel and iron emerged and coiled together. A pitch-black sword more than ten meters long extended from his hand and slashed at the Giant King.
