**Chapter 1263: Im's Ruthless Will!**
Surtr.
The 'Fire Giant' among the Giant God Soldiers, a Logia System Flame-Flame Fruit Ability User.
He was once the strongest Elder in Elbaf Kingdom, second only to King Harald. But in the previous duel, he was defeated by Byrnndi World.
【Boom!】
When a massive fireball, like a meteorite from outer space, heavily smashed into the center of the island, surging fire waves immediately spread outwards.
The frost that Utgard had left on the ground earlier evaporated almost in the blink of an eye and rapidly melted into flowing crimson magma.
And Surtr's massive body slowly formed from the flames.
In his hand, there was also a Long Sword completely condensed from flames.
Its color was not ordinary orange-red, but rather blue tinged with green, and green tinged with blue.
At the same time, the surface of the sword emitted bright white light, and the surrounding air was violently distorted under the baking of the high temperature.
Standing hundreds of meters away, King Harald felt waves of heat washing over him.
He could feel the ground beneath his feet rapidly losing moisture, becoming dry and hard.
"In the past, you were called 'Fire Giant', but that was because your aura was as crimson as flame. But now, you've truly become a Fire Giant."
For some reason, King Harald's attitude was no longer as tough and cold as before. The rage in his gaze was gone, replaced by a look of recalling the past.
"Have you changed your mind, Your Majesty? If so, the duel can be called off here."
Surtr said in a deep voice, his mood filled with anticipation.
"Hahahaha, of course not!"
King Harald held the 'Elbaf Spear' in his hand and threw his head back laughing.
However, he immediately restrained his smile and said firmly, "This duel must proceed, and this King will go all out. But I sincerely hope you can leave alive!"
"Why?"
Surtr asked, puzzled, realizing that the other party was determined to die.
"Because this King is the King of Elbaf Kingdom!"
King Harald looked directly into Surtr's gaze and said resolutely:
"Since Elbaf Kingdom will cease to exist, then this King has no reason to live on!"
Hearing these words, Surtr immediately fell silent.
Not only him, but Utgard outside the island, Elder Jorul, and the group of Giant Tribe members were also like this.
At the same time.
Im, the Five Elders, Garp, Kong, Sengoku, Zephyr, and others watching the battle through the Video Den Den Mushi were slightly surprised.
On Noah's Ark.
Saul, Dorry, Kashi, Oimo, and Brogy, who was imprisoned in 'Infinite Hell' within Impel Down, watched King Harald on the screen feed with complex moods.
"A King who cannot even protect his country's name, his only remaining meaning is to be buried with the country."
"Originally, this King wanted to lead all his clansmen and launch a bloody battle against the World Government. Even if the final result was destruction, it would let the entire world witness Elbaf's pride and glory..."
King Harald's words made Surtr's heart tighten in the distance, and he thought inwardly, "Indeed, I should stop him, even if it means killing him."
At the same time, terrifying killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Five Elders, Kong, Raimon, Sengoku, Zephyr, and other Military High Command members.
Launch a bloody battle against the World Government? Courting death!
It seems this King Harald cannot be allowed to live, even if he wins this duel.
Although he hasn't actually done so yet, just this idea deserves death.
Especially Sakazuki, who was far away in Rouran of the Ninja World.
A suffocating killing intent erupted from his body, making the 'Four-Tails' Son Goku beside him feel suffocated.
If King Harald didn't die in this duel,
he decided to immediately set off and return to the World, attacking Elbaf Kingdom.
He would personally blast and kill this trash who dared to threaten the World Government!
On the other side, King Harald at the scene naturally knew what consequences saying these words would bring.
"But along the way here, seeing those children playing on the island, those infants held in women's arms, those young warriors looking at me with respectful gazes, this King couldn't help but think, does he really have to lead them towards destruction together?"
King Harald slightly lowered his head, talking to himself, asking and answering himself.
"The moment this King stood here, this King understood clearly. As a King, he should be buried with the country, but a King should also protect his clansmen."
"So let this King alone... No, it should be buried together with Evra, Harald, and Swain. Elder Surtr, can you grant this King two requests?"
Surtr didn't expect King Harald to actually say the word 'please' to him.
In the nearly two hundred years of his life, it might be the first time he had asked someone for something.
"Please say, Your Majesty."
King Harald said in a deep voice, "The first request is for you to bury this King together with Evra and the others."
"Okay!"
King Harald said again, "The second request is to help me take good care of Loki, and then tell him not to hate the World Government. This is his Father's choice as a King."
"Okay, I promise I won't let Prince Loki be bullied!"
Surtr agreed firmly. Seeing this, King Harald revealed a smile.
"Thank you. However, the premise of all this is that you can defeat this King. Otherwise..."
Just then, King Harald suddenly raised his Spear Tip and aimed it at Surtr.
"This King will kill you first, then kill Utgard, and finally attack Mary Geoise, making the World Government deeply experience the strength of Elbaf's King!"
Surtr was speechless. This King was truly pushing himself towards death.
That previous sentence about launching a bloody battle against the World Government had already offended the World Government High-Level Officials.
And now another sentence about attacking Mary Geoise.
Surtr subconsciously looked up towards the direction of Elbaf.
He was afraid that a Heaven-Piercing Light Pillar would suddenly appear there and destroy the entire island of Elbaf.
He understood very clearly that if Lord Imu were to act, this was absolutely not an exaggerated fantasy.
"Since that's the case, then I must slay His Majesty here, in the name of 'Giant God Soldier'!"
Surtr dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind and gazed at King Harald with full concentration. The Flame Sword in his hand emitted even more intense heatwaves.
"Then come on, Giant God Soldier! In this duel, either you die, or I perish!"
King Harald roared from his mouth. On the entirely black long spear in his hand, streaks of Black-Red Lightning burst forth.
【Bang!】
【Bang!】
The next moment, Surtr and Harald almost simultaneously stomped and exploded the large area of magma beneath their feet. Amidst the soaring flames and howling gales, they instantly clashed in the center position, swinging their respective weapons with full strength.
【BOOM-------】
In an instant.
The Flame Claymore and the Black Long Spear heavily collided with each other, bursting forth with a deafening intense rumble.
Circles of visible Qi Energy spread outwards like ripples.
The next moment, it was as if Heaven and Earth trembled because of it.
The Earth that had turned into magma cracked wildly, while streaks of towering pillars of fire were continuously stirred up like a volcanic eruption.
And above the island.
The originally somewhat clear Blue Sky and White Clouds were now forcibly rolled into two rolling thick cloud layers.
If one looked closely, one could even faintly see a hint of Black and scattered starlight within it.
A moment later, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the entire island was completely submerged by a Sea of Fire.
Only thunderous collision sounds could be heard continuously erupting from within.
However, a mere small island clearly could not withstand the fierce battle of two great Giant experts.
In just over an hour, the shattered island, carrying blazing flames, successively sank into the cold Deep Sea.
And Surtr and Harald's battlefield also naturally shifted from the ground to the air.
The former flew by jetting with fierce flames.
While the latter stepped on huge Sonic Boom Airwaves, rapidly leaping in the High Altitude, spear after spear carrying lightning blasted open the incoming Flame Sword.
【Boom boom boom boom boom】
Im inside the Study Room watched the fierce battle scene being played on the Holographic Virtual Image with cold eyes.
He had long predicted that the process of unifying the World's regime would definitely be accompanied by storms and blood.
Not just this Harald.
Next... No, it should be said that the Major Seas such as East Blue, South Blue, North Blue, West Blue, and the Grand Line have already begun to stir up bloody storms one after another!
But no matter how many human lives are lost, no matter how many tragedies occur, Im's Ruthless Will will not waver in the slightest.
Surtr.
The 'Fire Giant' among the Giant God Soldiers, a Logia System Flame-Flame Fruit Ability User.
