Kenji was about to let Gerd lead the way when Loki's sarcastic laughter suddenly came from behind him.
"Hmph! How could a little girl find the King? Stop dreaming!"
Kenji stopped, turned to look at Loki, and frowned, "What do you want to say?"
"Heh heh!"
Loki raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, then propped himself up with both hands and struggled to get up.
"King Harald is my father, and I am the one who knows him best!"
"I am the Prince of Elbaph!"
As he spoke, Loki's face involuntarily revealed a proud expression, like a young man who thought he was very dashing.
Kenji couldn't help but smile slightly at the sight. That's right, he is indeed an immature brat.
However, the next words Loki spoke made his eyes flicker slightly.
"Hehehe! You don't seem to think much of me!" Loki said with a grin, as if he had forgotten that he had just been beaten up by the human in front of him.
That's how brats are, they don't hold grudges easily.
At this moment, Loki stood up, swayed, and steadied himself, then unhesitatingly stood up and led the way in one direction.
"You want to find my father, right? Follow me!"
Kenji raised his hand, signaling the Marine in the distance to wait there temporarily.
Gerd also stayed put and did not follow. The little girl seemed to have exhausted all the courage she had accumulated when she spoke just now, and now she had reverted to her timid and cowardly self.
Led by Loki, not long after, two figures, one large and one small, passed through the western village where the Giant warriors lived, and arrived above a cloud shimmering with lightning.
Then, the thundercloud began to rise, approaching the Heaven world further above.
"Hmm? King Harald isn't in the castle?"
Kenji turned around and looked at Aurust Castle, which was getting further and further away in his sight, and asked.
"My father isn't in the palace today." Speaking of this, Loki seemed to remember something, and a slightly mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"Hehehe! Very few people know where father went today… It's a secret."
"But I know that he went to the Heaven World before dawn… He seems to be waiting for certain people."
"Going to the Heaven World… waiting for people?" Kenji's heart stirred at the words, and he had a faint guess.
In fact, when he was in the Sun World, Kenji had released his Observation Haki to sense.
In Aurust Castle, he sensed many powerful auras.
However, he had never been to Elbaph before, nor had he met King Harald, so he was not familiar with which of those powerful auras belonged to the latter.
In addition to Aurust Castle, Kenji had also sensed and explored the Underworld and Heaven World.
Among them, in the Heaven World, there were multiple auras that were more powerful than the guards of Aurust Castle.
"If Harald is in the Heaven World…" Kenji raised his head, looking up at the huge tree crown of the Adam Tree.
That was also where Elbaph's Heaven World was located.
Kenji's Observation Haki discovered more than one aura belonging to a top-tier expert.
Soon, the thundercloud carried Loki and Kenji to the entrance of the Heaven World.
Kenji stood at the edge of the Heaven World looked back, only to see that the Giant Village in the Sun World below had become very small in his sight.
And the Underworld further below, as well as the sea, were even more out of reach. If it weren't for Kenji's strong eyesight, an ordinary person standing here and looking down would probably only see a blurry cloud and the shimmering scales reflected on the sea surface.
It was convenient to have a guide. Otherwise, it would have taken Kenji some effort to come to this Heaven World.
"The Heaven World here is a bit different. Don't wander around, and stick close to me." Loki led the way, his expression becoming serious as he solemnly instructed.
Kenji wasn't here to cause trouble, so he naturally wouldn't act recklessly. He followed Loki's lead, observing the surrounding scenery along the way.
Perhaps because the Heaven World was located in the crown of the Adam Tree, all along the way, there were lush forests everywhere, a scene of vibrant life and competing growth.
If one looked out, they could see clouds and mist drifting past beyond the tree crown, making one feel as if they were truly in a real Heaven.
Before long, Loki led Kenji to a magnificent temple. And in the temple square, there stood a colossal statue.
"This is the God of the Giants - Sun God!" Loki's voice was filled with solemnity and reverence.
"Sun God… is the God of the Elbaph Giant Tribe, right?" Kenji couldn't help but smile inwardly at the words.
He knew that Giants weren't only found in Elbaph, they also existed in other seas.
For example, Jaguar D. Saul in the Marine was from South Blue and even mocked the Giants of Elbaph as a barbaric tribe.
Clearly, there was also a hierarchy of contempt within the Giant Race. One could only say that contempt was truly ubiquitous.
"Let's go, father is in the temple." Loki spoke, signaling, and continued to move forward with Kenji.
However, at the temple entrance, the two were stopped.
A team of fully armed Giant warriors stood in formation before the temple gate, guarding it tightly, preventing anyone from entering.
Even if the person was Loki, the Prince of Elbaph, these Giant warriors maintained their vigilance and acted strictly according to procedure.
"King Harald is currently offering sacrifices to Elbaf God, and no one is allowed to disturb him!"
"Hey! Look closely, am I, Loki, not allowed to enter either?" Loki frowned, displeased.
"I have important matters today that I need to…"
"Your Royal Highness, please remain quiet! Do not violate the taboos of the temple!" The Giant warrior opposite responded decisively, his tone stiff.
"All right, all right." Loki surprisingly obediently stopped making a fuss.
He turned around and spread his hands helplessly to Kenji, saying, "They are the Temple Guards, and also the bravest warriors of Elbaph… There's nothing we can do, let's wait."
Kenji heard this, noncommittal, but did not act rashly. He just stood still and observed the Temple Guards, whom Loki called the 'bravest warriors of Elbaph'.
Even in Kenji's eyes, these Temple Guards were absolutely powerful. Each of them at least had the strength of a Marineford Vice Admiral.
Kenji estimated that the strongest among them could probably fight Charlotte for a bit.
Of course, their raw strength was definitely not as good as Charlotte's. But even so, it showed the powerful military strength of the Elbaph Giant Tribe.
After all, it was the 'world's strongest nation' that even a crazy powerhouse like Charlotte didn't dare to casually come and snatch people from. Just as Kenji was observing the Temple Guards, a system mission prompt suddenly flashed in his vision.
