Bazel sat up, the long-awaited bickering finally restoring some of his spirits.
"So, you want to take him there for a tour and then completely tie him to our chariot, right?"
The Den Den Mushi clicked its tongue in displeasure, its expression gradually turning sour:
"One of these days, I'm gonna chop off a few of your eight heads. Why do you always see through my plans at a glance?"
"The development level of a human brain varies. Even if each head is only 5%, eight heads together make 40%. Don't compare your own ordinary brain to mine."
Finally, Bazel added:
"I'm a genius."
"You're still as cocky as ever, you bastard."
The Den Den Mushi retorted with a laugh: "But Bazel, I have to admit you're right."
"Last time, I shouldn't have stayed on Whole Cake Island. Those guys with their noses in the air… forget about discussing cooperation, as soon as we met, they either talked about ruling the world or planned to turtle up and retire."
‘Rule the world?’
Bazel's mind conjured up the image of Shiki, and he muttered to himself, "Sooner or later, I'm going to stick the Supreme Grade Blade right into that golden-haired bastard's head.
"If I'd known we wouldn't even be able to have a proper conversation, I should've gone to the Land of Giants with you guys instead. I could've even mooched a drink!"
After listening to Kaido curse the outrageous behavior of his former comrades from a few minutes ago, Bazel hung up the Den Den Mushi.
His eyes swept around the room.
Only he and the still-snoring Loki remained inside, everyone else had disappeared.
He crouched down and picked up a note.
[Bazel, we’ve gone with Jarul to tour the Giant Tribe…Tom]
"Mmm…"
"That was a good nap. Did they all leave?"
Just then, Loki woke up.
Bazel shook the note in his hand, "Jarul took them to tour the Giant Tribe."
"Is that so~"
Seeing that no one else was around, Loki's eyes rolled slyly, and he lowered his voice:
"Aniki, let me take you to a really interesting place. The history recorded there might be useful to you."
‘History?’
Without giving Bazel a chance to refuse, Loki picked him up, jumped off the balcony, and after a few leaps, disappeared into the wilderness.
The guarding soldiers were used to it. As long as Loki didn’t cause trouble, they couldn’t be bothered to deal with the notorious prince.
Weaving east and jumping west along the way.
By the time Bazel noticed the sunlight around them growing stronger, he finally showed a surprised expression.
"Isn't this place the Sun World?"
"Shh-"
"We're still in the Sun World, but this particular area extends slightly into the upper layers of the World Tree."
Loki's voice was hushed, his eyes wary, as if afraid of being discovered by something.
"That mural is split into two sides by the branches of the World Tree, with one part already within the realm of the Celestial World."
"Don't speak. There are giants stationed nearby by Harald's orders."
As Loki pressed forward, the vegetation around them grew sparser.
Bazel looked down at his feet… the texture beneath them, which should have been wood, now felt as solid as mountain rock.
"We're here, this is it!"
Loki led Bazel around a corner and stopped before a massive mural.
Horned demons, fire-breathing snakes, war sweeping across the world...
"This is-!?"
Bazel's expression gradually turned to one of shock.
He remembered this place.
In the original work, when the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Elbaf, Franky's perspective revealed the origin and history of this mural.
Alongside it, a split screen showed Robin at the Walrus School studying the Harley texts!
This graffiti, likely drawn by a giant child some 800 or 900 years ago, had unexpectedly become one of the few witnesses to history.
"This is a mural drawn by a giant child long ago. Over time, it has petrified and become part of the World Tree."
Loki stepped forward, gently tracing the grooves of the mural with his fingers.
"I'm not sure of the exact time, but it might be related to a war that happened 800 years ago."
"Because it's so ancient, even Jarul doesn't know what this mural depicts."
Bazel stepped forward, focusing intently on the left side of the mural.
Ancient giants, fish-men, giants, and ancient robots… multiple races united against horned demons.
This likely depicts the allied forces of that era.
If Bazel remembered correctly, that giant demon should be Imu.
The left hand grasping the power of the moon, the right hand clutching the power of the sun.
This also seems to correspond to one of Imu's abilities: the reversal of light and dark.
But Bazel shifted his gaze away, staring intently below the Sun God Nika.
The left side of the mural was missing one crucial element… the sinister warship, Pluton!
If the mermaid represents Poseidon, then to the mermaid's right, the ancient giant larger than an ordinary giant should also hold special significance.
Bazel had actually been pondering a question for a while.
After Loki's birth, was the blizzard and famine experienced by the Giant Tribe ‘man-made’ or ‘an act of heaven’?
Loki's demon-like crimson vertical pupils clearly represented something.
It wasn't until today, after seeing this mural, that Bazel's doubts grew even deeper.
Supposedly…
the ancient giants of that time were biological weapons, just like the Mermaid Queen.
Translating to the modern era, the Mermaid Queen is the future Poseidon, Shirahoshi.
When Shirahoshi's emotions reach an extreme, she can attract the aid of colossal Sea Kings.
And if the ancient giant standing beside Joy Boy could transform into Uranus, which is now Loki...
Then as a child, Loki, abandoned by his mother immediately after birth, was filled with extreme sorrow and pain in his soul.
If Loki's emotions at that time reached an extreme, similar to Shirahoshi, triggering weather phenomena equivalent to her summoning of Sea Kings, then everything would make sense.
The Ancient Weapon, Poseidon, is Shirahoshi. Her emotions can attract colossal Sea Kings… this is the Poseidon’s special ability.
If the Ancient Weapon, Uranus, is confirmed to be Loki, it wouldn't be strange for him to summon blizzard weather phenomena under extreme emotions.
Also, adding to this…
In the original work, Loki has always proclaimed himself to be the Sun God, claiming he will bring destruction and war to this world.
The sun and gods reside high in the sky, don't they?
Similarly, in mythology, Loki is the god of lies and trickery, also the god of fire, and likewise originates from the Giant Tribe.
He even plays a significant role in Ragnarok.
Lies and trickery = Loki disguising himself as a devout follower of the Sun God, concealing the fact of his identity as Uranus.
God of fire = Solar fire = One form of weather phenomena.
As for Ragnarok...
Bazel stroked his chin, lost in thought.
If Loki truly is Uranus, his so-called ‘destruction of the world’ might refer to destroying the world of privilege specific to the nobles.
After all, Elbaf is a land that worships the Sun God Nika, and Loki, influenced by this, couldn't have strayed too far.
Moreover, Loki also possesses the ability to manipulate lightning. Before this, Bazel had always thought summoning lightning was the ability of that hammer.
But now it seems...
Perhaps that hammer is just a lightning rod, and Loki himself is the one summoning the thunder.
Coupled with the World Tree's unique sunstone, which also seems suggestive.
These things together just happen to correspond to another event that will happen in the future.
Why would someone as arrogant as Shamrock, from the God's Knights, go to any lengths to force Loki to join?
In that era, perhaps Imu, or perhaps the Figarland Family, discovered something unusual.
If the above speculations were to become reality, then Loki's identity as Uranus would be further confirmed.
Even if Loki isn't Uranus, his peculiarities might still be somewhat related to Uranus.
Bazel suppressed this bizarre yet somewhat credible thought and turned his attention to the mural on the right.
Zunesha, the Ark Noah, a crowned shadow…
The World Tree being struck by lightning, and an unknown creature spewing flames to counter it.
A flicker of doubt passed through Bazel's eyes.
That wheat-like snake might be the serpent of infernal fire described in the Harley texts. Those strange-looking technologies were probably creations of the Lunarian race?
At this moment, Bazel suddenly recalled a memory related to Zunesha.
‘Punished for committing a great mistake in ancient times, it must keep walking and absolutely must not stop for any reason.’
If Zunesha truly is one of the ‘keys’ used to retrieve the ancient weapon Pluton, then during that great war long ago…
it failed to retrieve Pluton in time for some reason, leading to Joy Boy's defeat by the allied forces of twenty kingdoms.
This would explain the ‘great mistake’.
But-
What is that strange, horned creature fighting the serpent of infernal fire?
The Uranus of that era?
Or a special ability user who ate Elbaf's legendary Devil Fruit?
Or perhaps, the Uranus who ate Elbaf's mysterious fruit?
Bazel felt the thoughts in his mind growing increasingly chaotic.
More and more clues gathered in his brain, but he could never effectively sort it out.
"Loki, take me to the Owl Library. I want to see your Giant Tribe’s Halley text."
