One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

The sun was bright, and dust was floating in the golden air.

The banquet hall used to entertain guests fell into silence for a short time. The giant king Odin blinked his eyes and wanted to improvise to add more roles to himself, but was stopped by his son.

"Father, that's enough. It has been exposed. There is no need to act anymore. They are not a fool like Shanks."

"Your Majesty, what is going on? What kind of acting?"

The second and third elders of the three elders of the giants were a little confused. They hadn't figured out what happened. They were scolding Roger, but suddenly they were told that all this was fake.

"How did you find out?"

Loki always felt that his plan was flawless. After all, he had deceived Shanks many times.

An picked up a bunch of grapes, picked one and put it in his mouth, and said slowly: "You have too many flaws."

"For example, if His Majesty Odin really hated my bastard father, he should have driven us away when we first met, instead of letting us into the village against his usual behavior."

"After all, if you really hate someone, you can't even hide it with your eyes."

This is just the first point. An gently peeled off the outer coat of another unknown fruit and tasted its flavor.

"The second point is His Majesty Loki's palms. Calluses are obviously worn out at the base of his hands. This is not caused by using some kind of weapon, but by grasping something frequently."

"After thinking about it, it seems that the entire Giant Kingdom will only leave such marks if the dragon is tamed."

Beckman inhaled the cigarette in his hand and exhaled a dragon-like smoke.

"Not only that, whether it is the giant village at the beginning, the store in the royal city, or the table in front of us, the food ratio is too abnormal."

"Too many fruits!"

"With the size of the giants, eating these fruits is not enough!"

"This proves that you sent a lot of food to other places."

"Let me guess..."

An took over Beckman's words, and tapped the table with his knuckles together rhythmically.

"Was it sent to a dragon?"

Listening to the other party's well-reasoned analysis, Loki rubbed his face with his palm like a palm fan, pretending to be relaxed: "Even if this is the case, it doesn't mean that we are acting."

"That's right, but Your Majesty Odin, you revealed a fatal problem." An nodded with some admiration.

This time even Beckman was a little surprised, he didn't notice this.

"Fatal flaw?"

Odin, who always thought he played well, began to recall the whole process, but still had no clue.

"It's the eyes!" An reminded.

"Eyes?"

Giant King Odin was confused.

Loki was confused.

Beckman, Shanks, and the elders were puzzled.

An took a long breath, stood up, and explained solemnly: "Your Majesty, your eyes are so kind that you dare not look directly at those villagers who are not well fed."

"I really can't imagine how a benevolent king like you can sit back and watch his people suffer because of his own selfish desires."

Hahahahahaha!!

Hahahahahaha!!

A proud and loud laugh suddenly came out, echoing in the empty banquet hall. The muscles on his bare chest trembled because of the laughter, and the white goatee kept swaying.

All of them showed the pride of the king.

For a king, what is more powerful praise than praising his kindness.

Under this heroic laughter, Loki was convinced of his defeat. Stratagems can cover everything, but they can't cover a person's character.

"Great Giant King, it is our honor to be your people!"

Loki, Orcott, Elied, and More all knelt on one knee, put their arms on their chests, and bowed to express their respect.

At this point, Shanks knew that he had been deceived before, but he didn't care too much.

With his broad mind, these were just trivial matters between friends.

"Your Majesty Odin, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, please take us to see the dragon."

The laughter gradually stopped, Odin's expression was a little complicated, and he didn't know how to start. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said directly: "Shanks, I'm afraid that the dragon can't be returned to you, because it is too important to us."

"Except for the dragon, you can have anything you want."

"Wealth, devil fruit, rare minerals, high-purity seastone... anything is fine."

"Your Majesty Odin, what do you mean by this?" Shanks had a gloomy face, and his whole body was domineering.

Invisible aura surged out of his body, and the powerful spirit like a raging wind and huge waves filled the entire space, shattering the plates and wooden wine glasses on the table, and causing cracks on the long stone table.

Even the giants, who were born with strong strength, could not withstand this mental shock.

The eyes of the two giant guards at the door turned white, and they lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Overlord Haki!!

Shanks, this little kid, is actually not much inferior to Roger's Overlord Haki. The giants who have known Shanks for a long time thought in their hearts.

"Shanks, listen to my explanation!" Loki's body surface burned with a layer of flames, and he shouted towards the center of the storm.

"Loki, as a friend, I can agree to everything else, but this one thing is not allowed!"

"This dragon was brought back by Captain Roger from Raftel. It is a part used to change this world. No one can take it for themselves!"

"You can't do it either!!"

The domineering voice was loud and unquestionable, and Shanks's domineering color became stronger.

The flames on his body became bigger, and Loki, against the impact of the hurricane, shouted with all his strength: "Shanks, we left this dragon to save the world!!"

"Sun God Nika, you still remember!!"

The domineering color disappeared suddenly, and the banquet hall returned to calm. Only the messy floor and dining table could show what had happened here just now.

Loki's face was pale, and he retracted the flames covering his body, panting: "We giants believe in the sun god Nika, and believe that the light of freedom will soon return to the earth, leading the giants to fight against the celestial dragons and recreate a huge kingdom."

"For this reason, before this battle comes, we must accumulate all the available power, which is why we want to keep the dragon."

"If this is the reason, then I'm afraid it's unnecessary." Shanks said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Loki was puzzled.

"He means that the Sun God Nika has appeared!"

An walked over from behind and took out two photos from the system space.

One was the wanted poster for Luffy's first bounty on the sea.

The other was a picture of a figure surrounded by white flames leaping under the shining sun on a small island.

These two pictures were all thanks to a sister who loved to record the lives of her brothers.

"Sun God Nika!!"

A group of giant leaders exclaimed, their huge faces filled with incredible expressions.
