I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Under the canopy of the World Tree, in Asgard, in a corner of the magnificent royal palace, in a bedroom.

The beautiful and graceful giantess sat at the head of the bed with a worried look on her face, playing with a necklace in her hand. Unlike the Vikings in the giant tribe, she wore a long skirt made of white fur embroidered with gold thread.

At this moment, in a corner of the room, a small human with a green algae head was looking for cover and slowly approaching her.

When Green Algae Head was searching for the food storage room by room, he saw a locked door with a slot on it, which looked a bit like a prison cell, so he sneaked in through the slot.

When he saw that the furnishings inside looked like a woman's boudoir, he wanted to leave, but he was attracted by the necklace in the giantess's hand. Hanging on the necklace was a stone key.

Because the size of the key was almost the same as the seastone lock core, Green Algae Head quietly leaned over to see what was going on.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the door, which instantly attracted the attention of the female giant. She suddenly frowned and hurriedly hid the necklace in her hand under the pillow.

Then there was a creaking sound, and the door suddenly opened. A male giant wearing a white cloak and armor walked in with a smile on his face. The female giant had a hint of indifference on her face: "Uter, what do you want to do now?"

Utter didn't care about her rude words, and still had a smile on his face: "Freya, it's been a long time since we had a meal together. A distinguished guest is coming today. Please help me receive him."

Freya sneered, "Distinguished guests? You're from the world government, right? Utter, you shameless fellow! Not only did you deceive Loki with despicable tactics, you even forgot the glory of being giants! You will never be worthy of the throne."

Uther's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, then he revealed a strange smile. He raised his finger and pointed at Freya, his face filled with grief. "I never lied to Loki. He killed Harald for the legendary fruit. You saw it with your own eyes. The resources of the World Tree have become increasingly scarce over the years. We must trade with the World Government to obtain the resources to sustain our country. For this reason, I have no choice but to feign compromise with the World Government."

The next scene left the Green Algae Leader stunned. Freya, who had been sneering a second ago, looked guilty the next moment: "I'm... I'm sorry, I wronged you."

Then, Utter smiled with satisfaction: "Then let's go together to receive the distinguished guest. Having the princess present will further demonstrate our sincerity."

She nodded slightly and took Utter's outstretched arm.

Huh? What's going on? Top-level observation Haki—consciousness transmission? Are the world government officials here too?

Green Algae Head saw the two of them go out and followed them quietly.

……

However, when the green-haired man followed him to the hall, he was dumbfounded again. He saw that the hall was full of giant soldiers in armor, and a huge monster was sitting on the seat next to the throne.

He rubbed his eyes fiercely, repeatedly confirming, then he frowned and muttered to himself: "Sure enough, this aura..."

He was a white-haired old man with horns on his head and spider legs on his lower body. Just today, Green Algae Head witnessed his death with his own eyes.

"Hahahaha, long time no see, Mr. Satan."

Saint Satan held the scepter in his hand, his expression not looking too good. "King Utter, Princess Freya, we heard that Elbaf has secretly hidden a crucial red historical text. Is this true?"

"That's absolutely not the case. You know, six years ago I sold all the historical texts I collected from O'Hara to the World Government. I wonder where Mr. Satan heard this?"

Saint Satan didn't believe it and asked, "Really? Then why did that red-haired guy come to Elbaf not long ago?"

"Red Hair? Are you talking about the Four Emperors Shanks?" Obviously, he, who was in a high position, was unaware of Red Hair's arrival.

"Well, it seems you don't know. It seems I can't get any information from you. However, I must remind you that privately keeping the original text of history is a serious crime! You'd better not lie to me, otherwise you won't be able to bear the wrath of the world government!"

After saying that, Saint Satan stood up and left. The giant soldiers around him all had murderous looks in their eyes and turned to look at Uter on the throne, as if they would rush forward and tear Saint Satan into pieces as soon as he gave the order.

Unexpectedly, Uter just shook his head slightly, hiding the fierce light in his eyes: "Wait! Your Excellency Satan, I really didn't lie to you. Since you are here, why not let me show my hospitality."

"No need!"

Seeing Saint Satan leave the palace without looking back, Uter's face immediately turned gloomy: "Assholes! When I get that great secret treasure, I will never kowtow to you again! Come, take the princess back to the palace!"

The green algae-headed man who was watching everything from afar completely forgot the purpose of his coming to the palace. Tsk tsk tsk, things are getting more and more interesting. The resurrected "Saint Satan", the leader of the giants who is in collusion with the world government, and Loki's mother, who obviously seems to know something about the inside story, but is convinced by just one sentence.

No matter how honest the giants are, they wouldn't go to such lengths. But she seems to have the key to Loki's seastone. Well, since she has promised her brother-in-law, she might as well do her best.

So, Green Algae Head followed the princess and the two giant soldiers again, and only went over after the giant soldiers left.

At this moment, Green Algae Head, who had just approached the door, heard a series of ping-pong sounds from inside, as if something was being smashed...

"You despicable villain! You are a disgrace to Elbaf! One day, you will be punished by the ancient gods!"

Ping! !

Freya cursed angrily and picked up the huge vase and smashed it to pieces.

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded in the room.

"Ahem! I think I can help you, but before that, I still have a lot of questions..."

Freya was immediately shocked: "Who??"

At the same time, she looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little human with a green algae hairpin on his waist standing not far from the door.

"Little human? This is Asgard, the sacred land of the giants. Why are you here?" Freya frowned when she saw this.

"Hey, sacred? Not necessarily. I'm Loki's brother-in-law. I promised Loki to help him find the key to unlock the seastone. But before that, I need to find out whether he killed his father. If so, then I'll have to go back on my word to save him. I don't want to save a complete bastard." The green algae-headed man went straight to the point.

Freya sneered, "You guys are truly disgusting! When did Asgard become a place full of lies? Loki isn't even married!"

"Hey, as far as I know, giants are not good at lying. I wonder what you mean by "full of lies"?" The green algae-headed man grinned. "As for the fact that I am Loki's brother-in-law, he personally recognized me as his brother-in-law. My girlfriend is Charlotte Lingling's daughter, a few years older than Lola, whom Loki proposed to. Although his relationship with Lola didn't work out, he didn't suffer any loss by recognizing me as his brother-in-law. After all, the underworld is very cold, and he must have suffered a lot after being locked up there for six years. If he doesn't recognize me as his brother-in-law, why should I save him?"

Upon hearing this, Freya's expression improved slightly, and her eyes became a bit complicated: "Loki..."

"Don't worry, that guy is as strong as a bull. I heard everything you said just now. You seem to know something about Utter's tricking of Loki. Can you tell me?"

"It seems you really weren't sent by Utter. That's right, Utter is now in power, so there's no reason for him to be wary of the disgraced Loki." Freya frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed. "But you should at least tell me who you are, right?"

"Hey, my name is Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Pirates?" Freya was stunned: "I've never heard of the Straw Hat Pirates."

The green algae-haired guy felt very embarrassed: "Uh...that's not possible. We are now a Four Emperors pirate group backed by the world government!"

"I have been imprisoned here by Uter for five years and know very little about what's happening outside." Freya shook her head.

The green algae-head suddenly realized: "That's not surprising. We have only been at sea for nearly three years."

"Since you want to save Loki, I'll tell you everything about him."
