Prince Loki

In the New World, above the Ettwald Sea, Lox sat cross-legged on Vesa's head, answering a Den Den Mushi call.

"Is that so? I understand. Thank you, Demi. Continue monitoring the battlefield below, and report to me immediately if anything happens."

"Huhu, understood, Captain Lox." After ending the Den Den Mushi call, Lox slowly closed his eyes.

"Hey, Lox, do we have to go to Erudra too?" Vesa, flying through the air, asked with a muffled voice.

"Of course, we have to. We've been planning this for so long; we must go all the way. The military might of the Kingdom of England is essential for us to conquer the world. For that, we must control that kingdom at any cost." Lox said it with an icy-cold expression.

For the upcoming plan, Lox had been preparing for a long time. He and Barbosa had gone back and forth with countless projects before finally settling on Infiltration.

"Ah, it's troublesome. Why not just attack directly and conquer the country?" Vesa didn't quite understand why they were going through all this trouble.

"Vesa, the Kingdom of England is one of the most powerful military nations in the New World. An all-out attack would result in significant casualties and wouldn't be worth it."

"Alright." Vesa shrugged and then accelerated towards the Kingdom of England.

Meanwhile, Erudra was still engaged in a fierce battle with the twin brothers in the Kingdom of England.

Erudra was covered in blood, his golden hair turned black, and one of his gold earrings was missing.

"Huff, huff... Damn it! Die!" Erudra gasped for breath and then punched one of the twin brothers.

Boom!

"Ugh!" The hit twin brother had his arms crossed before him and was sent flying by the powerful shockwave.

"This guy! How does he still have this kind of strength?" Seeing his brother sent flying, the remaining twin brother roared angrily and kicked Erudra.

Bang! His powerful kick struck Erudra's stomach, making him bend over and spit out blood.

"You bastard!" Despite blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, Erudra ignored his injuries, grabbed the twin brother's leg, and delivered a punch with a shockwave directly to his face.

Boom! The violent shockwave smashed his face, and blood sprayed everywhere. "Ah!" With a scream, the twin brother fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Alright, one down, on to the next one." In the distance, the remaining twin brother, witnessing his brother being easily defeated by Erudra, felt fear and turned to run.

However, Erudra's teleportation-like speed was too fast for him. "Hey, as twins, don't you think it's better to die together?"

Under the terrified gaze of the twin brother, Erudra's fist, charged with a shockwave, pierced his forehead.

Red blood and white brain matter are scattered in all directions. Erudra teleported away just before they could reach him. "Tsk, I almost got splattered there."

"Hey, Prince Loki, are you done watching the show?" From a corner of the castle, Prince Loki slowly walked out.

"I'm quite surprised. Even after suffering such serious injuries, you can instantly recover. I'm curious how you did that." Loki looked at Erudra with a calm and cold expression, and his voice filled with curiosity.

"Oh? Do you mean that? It's the research result of our chief scientist. I paid a considerable price for it."

Erudra clenched his fist, swaying as he walked towards Loki. "Well, it's your turn now, Prince Loki."

Erudra chuckled and disappeared from his spot, reappearing right before Loki, his fist charged with a shockwave aiming for Loki's head.

"Hmph!" Loki raised his fist and met Erudra's punch with tremendous force. Boom! A powerful shockwave burst out and dispersed, making their hair rustle.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have such strength! You managed to catch my punch."

Erudra looked surprised as he praised Loki.

"Hmph! Don't get too full of yourself, Golden Ring!" Loki snorted, and a burst of intense power overwhelmed Erudra's strength, sending him flying.

As Erudra was sent flying, he could feel his bones shattering under the force. "That power earlier, is that an ability?" While Erudra spoke, his broken bones were already completely healed.

He flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground. "This country has no shortage of strong individuals. No wonder Captain Lox wants to control this country."

Erudra's body emitted a white shockwave, and in an instant, he disappeared and dashed toward Loki.

"Hmph! I am a superhuman with the power of the Reinforce-Reinforce Fruit. Your attacks, lacking in technique, are useless against me."

Loki coldly sneered and grabbed a piece of broken wood from the ground, using his power to reinforce it into an incredibly sturdy shield.

He held the shield in front of him, blocking Erudra's attack. Boom! A massive shockwave burst out from the shield.

"What?" Erudra, surprised, looked at Loki, whose shield remained unscathed.

"Hmph, as I said, I'm a Reinforce-Reinforce Fruit user. I can strengthen anything to be even more powerful than a divine artefact."

Loki sneered, then, with the sword he held, which had been reinforced, he aimed a strike at Erudra's chest.
