Chapter 650: 650: The Black Portal

"I was attacked? Right, Robin! There are enemies, enemies are attacking!"

Saul suddenly remembered everything that happened before he fainted. He grabbed Robin's arm in panic.

"Quickly inform the others. Unknown enemies have invaded Elbaf. One man and one woman, both Devil Fruit users. Their abilities are too strange, I could not even figure out what they were!"

"Enemies have invaded?"

The surrounding giants were stunned.

Invading Elbaf was not something anyone could do easily. This was the nation of giants, known as the strongest country in the world.

Who would dare to invade a place like this?

Did they want to die?

The giant chef Gordberg looked at Saul, who was still seriously injured, and spoke in disbelief.

"You mean two ordinary little humans launched an attack and invaded our country? Do they not know this is Elbaf?"

In his eyes, most little humans were weak. Even if some were strong, they were still no match for the warriors of Elbaf.

Except for monsters like the Red Hair Pirates.

"Gordberg, do not underestimate them. They are definitely not ordinary people!"

Saul held his neck, which was still aching, and spoke with a grave expression.

"I even suspect they were sent by the World Government. They might be trying to take that thing we have hidden."

That thing?

Robin frowned slightly. She had no idea what Saul meant by that.

The giant Stansen was startled.

"How is that possible? Outsiders should not know about this. Saul, are you sure you are not imagining things?"

"Those two are extremely dangerous."

Saul shook his head firmly.

"That woman only needed one strike to make me lose all feeling. There is no way enemies like that would come to Elbaf for no reason. Someone is targeting our giant race.

You must inform the two leaders, Dorry and Brogy, immediately. Put the entire island on high alert. There may be enemies hiding in the shadows!"

Rumble!

Before he could finish speaking, a deafening thunderclap echoed across the sky.

A dark spatial portal suddenly appeared above Elbaf.

"What was that sound?"

"It came from the sky!"

The giants helped Saul outside the Walrus School. Everyone looked up and saw the black portal slowly glowing in the sky.

"Could it be the enemy? How dare they show themselves so openly!"

Gordberg rested his massive spiked club on his shoulder and glared at the portal with anger.

All over Elbaf, the giants noticed the strange black portal that had appeared above them.

"After so many years of peace, has the outside world forgotten the strength of Elbaf?"

"To challenge Elbaf directly, that is pure arrogance!"

"The fighting spirit of Elbaf has been forgotten for too long. This short peace has made our descendants forget what battle means!"

Giants from every direction rushed toward the Sun Realm, the warrior village of Elbaf. They carried enormous weapons in their hands, ready to crush whoever dared to invade their land.

Elbaf, the Underworld.

Deep below the massive tree, where the roots stretched endlessly in the cold darkness, a giant figure slowly raised his head.

"Interesting. Very interesting."

Loki, the former prince, was bound by massive iron chains. He was restrained against a giant root, surrounded by freezing winds. His long horns lifted slightly as he looked toward the black portal in the sky.

He grinned with excitement.

"Whoever you are, you had better make a bigger mess. This boring country will eventually be destroyed by me anyway. And after that, this twisted world will fall with it."

Loki laughed quietly, his voice filled with madness.

"The one who will end this world will eventually appear and judge everything. After all, I am the legendary savior who will save this world, the Sun God."

Relying on the power of his Devil Fruit, he sneered with absolute confidence.

"What God King with a bounty of ten billion Berries? What Four Emperors of the Sea? They are all trash."

---

"Wahhhh!"

Suddenly, terrified screams came from the black portal in the sky.

Whoosh!

The portal split open and several figures dropped out of it, falling straight toward the ground.

"Shirogai! This is what you called safe? We are clearly going to die!"

A beautiful woman wearing an elegant coat shouted angrily while falling.

It was Nami.

Beside her, a long-nosed man stared at the ground rushing toward them. For a moment he looked terrified, but suddenly a confident smile appeared on his face.

"Phew. Good thing the Mori Mori Fruit has strong recovery. I should be immune to fall damage."

It was Usopp.

"Then hurry and turn into a huge tree and catch us!"

Zoro shouted calmly while holding the swords at his waist.

Usopp kept falling through the air, but he felt completely helpless.

He wanted to use his Devil Fruit ability, he really did.

But suddenly appearing at such a high altitude after coming from the deep sea near Fish-Man Island had completely confused him. Fear and tension made him unable to control his ability at all.

"Hey, Zoro, do you think I am Shirogai? Can I just use an ability whenever I want? I am still learning!"

Usopp panicked completely, unable to use even the most basic form of his power. He could only stare helplessly at the ground rushing closer and closer.
