One Piece: I am the Master of Black Magic

Chapter 439 The Secret of the Forbidden Land

"Can't you?"

"There is nothing wrong with your idea, but it is not suitable for our current situation."

"Even if a conflict breaks out between you, they won't attack you now."

"The Winter Solstice Festival is, after all, an important day for you every year. They will not let things between you affect the ceremony."

Loki frowned.

"Then what do you say?"

“Those who strike first will control others.”

“Only by taking the initiative into your own hands can you control the overall situation.”

Loki looked at her intently.

"You want me to take the initiative?"

"I've given you a clear path. As for how to do it, it depends on you."

Seeing that Loki was still frowning and searching, Annie didn't speak again.

Recalling the topography of the giant stone castle in his mind, he disappeared in a flash.

The dark underground palace was empty and silent. From time to time, a cold wind whistled by, bringing with it bursts of heart-chilling cries.

Anne, covered with an invisibility cloak, held a searchlight in her hand and walked step by step towards the deepest part of the palace.

She was so domineering when she saw and heard that she could only hear her own slight breathing in the darkness.The occasional sound from the gravel beneath my feet was amplified countless times by the boundless darkness.

The walls on both sides are dozens of feet high, and twelve complete stone pillars connect the floor and ceiling.The pillars are also carved with strange patterns and symbols.

The palace is very large, and a normal human body is completely inconspicuous here.

"There is no breath of living things..."

Annie, who had just finished saying this, felt a chill behind her ears, and a sharp sword energy struck from behind.

【shave】

The searchlight fell to the ground. Annie dodged the attack and quickly pulled away to the left.

With his peripheral vision, he glanced at the figure behind the stone pillar, and a flash of blue light flashed past his eyes.

Annie's heart trembled, and the magic power surged in her palms.

【Fluorescent flash】

A faint light lit up from the palm of his hand, and the boundless darkness was dispersed by the beam of light.

With the help of this glimmer of light, Annie could clearly see the situation around her.

The light of the searchlight reflected the huge black shadow on the wall behind the stone pillar.

Annie was stunned the moment she saw the shadow.

Before she could think about it, a rusty giant sword slashed towards her.

"Damn! How is that possible!"

The sonic boom caused by the constant sound of the sword cutting through the air in her ears made Annie have to increase her dodge speed to the extreme.

"Why is there a giant mecha here!"

She flew forward to pick up the searchlight on the ground and put it into the space.Then he put on the hood of the invisibility cloak, and the whole person disappeared suddenly.

He held his breath and concentrated, not daring to let out any breath.

The palace fell into darkness again, but the huge giant mecha did not seem to give up on its goal.

The glowing blue eyes moved slowly, scanning the surrounding space inch by inch.

"Om~"

There was a buzz, blue light flashed in the giant mecha's eyes, and the giant sword in its hand swung out again.

"!"

"Does this thing have an infrared thermal imaging function?"

Annie dodged the head-on blow, threw out her broom and flew over the head of the giant mecha.

"Oh!"

An extremely violent slash followed, and the sword energy carved a deep sword mark on the ceiling above his head.

Debris fell rustlingly, and the deep silence in the palace was instantly broken.

Anne was still frightened and raised the altitude again.

This giant mecha was too aggressive and completely different from the one she met in Egghead.

Afraid that their battle would be discovered by the escort troops overhead, Annie had no intention of competing with this mecha.

She looked down at the communicator on her wrist, and sure enough, there was no signal.

"So...you are the culprit?"

"Om~"

She was answered by a deafening buzz that echoed throughout the underground palace.

An extremely powerful shock wave burst out from the palm of the giant mecha, and the communicator on his wrist instantly sounded a rapid alarm.

Annie's expression suddenly changed, and she stepped into the space without any hesitation.

"Lord Anne?"

Weir, who was wearing a white coat and was bored, immediately ejected from the cloud sofa as soon as he saw Annie entering the space.

Seeing that there was a thin layer of sweat on Annie's forehead and her breathing was slightly rapid, Weir's expression changed.

"What happened, Lady Anne?"

Annie waved her hands and adjusted her breathing.

"It's okay, I found something interesting."

Her eyes moved to the seemingly scrapped giant mecha brought back from Egghead in the corner, her eyes dark.

Although I couldn't see the full picture of the giant mecha in the darkness just now, it was obvious that the two mechas came from the same origin.

After all, the slashes they use in battle are exactly the same.

In other words, the mecha in Elbaf's underground palace also came from a blank 100 years.

"A huge kingdom..."

The appearance of this mecha made Annie firmer in her suspicions.

In the blank 100 years, the giants and Joyboy must have been partners fighting side by side.

The design prototype of this mecha may be the warriors of the giant clan.

Through a comprehensive evaluation of this mecha in space, we came to the conclusion that the power is far less than that of Higali's cruiser mecha, but the design is also quite exquisite.

She didn't know how that kind of password program was written, so that the mecha could still respond after it had been disabled for hundreds of years and its power source was completely exhausted.

She and Vegapunk have also been studying the power source used by this kind of mecha for a long time.

Two scientific geniuses combined have absolutely no clue.

Not only cannot they be distinguished, they cannot be copied.

But judging from the fact that the powerful energy erupted from the power source of the mecha just now can even affect the island's magnetic field, this force is undoubtedly powerful.

His eyes fell on the heart of the mecha, and his curiosity and desire for this energy became stronger and stronger.

"It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!"

Thinking that there was a source of power in the palace outside that had not been exhausted, Anne's heart became hot.

As long as she gets the power source, the powerful scientific and technological power of the Higali Research Department will definitely not let her down.

Maybe, through this mecha, we can get a glimpse of part of the once huge kingdom!

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She wanted to rush to the giant mecha and pull out the blue gem from the heart.

But when I think of the incomparable fighting power of that mecha, my heart becomes slightly colder.

The last blow from the mecha just now must have alerted the upper-level guards.

There is only one giant mecha in the huge underground palace, and the giants must also be very aware of its power.

Now is not the right time, and Anne is not sure that she can subdue the giants without alerting them.

"It looks like I'm going to take Luffy here..."
