"What is the meaning?"
After a brief exchange, Harald had a completely new understanding of Loki's wisdom.
It was different from the situation he imagined, where he only knew how to blindly follow prophecies.
Loki had his own thoughts.
He began to explain: "Loki, you are indeed a naturally extraordinary child. I agree with your attitude of daring to change Elbaf's outdated customs. You are more courageous than I used to be; regarding your wish to make Elbaf a home for all races to live together, I agree even more. You have a vision that surpasses mine."
"However, you shouldn't have killed Mother Carmel, and you shouldn't have been blinded by anger and led everyone to attack the Marine branch. This will only deepen the world's misunderstanding of the Giant Tribe."
"The World Government and Marine Headquarters will not let this go. Those kingdoms that originally intended to establish diplomatic relations with us will now only treat us as scourges! What you get in exchange for thunder and fire is not awe, but hostility from the entire sea."
Loki shook his head: "The World Government has never stopped targeting Elbaf. It's just changed from violent confrontation in the past to deception and concealment, wanting to turn us into tools for maintaining their rule over the sea. The giants working in the Marines deceived by lies are proof."
Harald: "I know, Loki, but it is a fact that the World Government and the Marines released Raideen and the others. This is a good start, showing that the World Government doesn't want to..."
Before he could finish, he was rudely interrupted by Raideen: "Harald! Deception is deception! Do you intend for us to treat all this as if nothing happened?"
Bjorn: "We would rather have died at Marine Headquarters back then than live on in disgrace, becoming tools for the World Government to deceive other giant kingdoms."
"Maybe everything was calculated. Big Brothers Dorry and Broggy also disappeared because of the World Government."
"..."
The former members of the Giant Warrior Pirates stared at Harald in disbelief, raised their weapons again, and scolded angrily.
They felt an unprecedented strangeness towards the current Harald.
They thought Harald was here to help them.
It turned out he harbored such thoughts.
Harald looked at the restless crowd in astonishment: "Everyone, violence cannot solve everything. Don't be blinded by anger and violence. This is just a temporary compromise."
The giants couldn't listen and just cursed Harald blindly.
"It's clearly the World Government's problem, yet you, Harald, want us to back down!"
"Shut up, Harald, you have betrayed the glory of Elbaf!!!"
"Quiet!" Loki raised his hand.
"Phew~" The giants instantly quieted down, looking at Loki expectantly.
It doesn't matter if Harald forgot.
There is still His Highness Loki who has not forgotten the pride and honor of being a warrior.
"...." Harald was silent, his surprised gaze sweeping over Loki.
Loki's prestige in everyone's hearts has already reached this height?
Loki asked curiously: "Your Majesty Harald, then how do you think our Elbaf should treat Mother Carmel and the World Government?"
He was very curious about what astonishing wisdom this lord, who was willing to break his own horns and become a servant in the original timeline, could have.
"Mother Carmel's evil deeds as the [Mountain Hag] must be made public. Our Elbaf cannot suffer misunderstandings from the outside world."
As soon as these words came out, the agitated faces of the giants softened slightly.
"As for the human trafficking matter, only after Elbaf joins the World Government can we propose modifications to the World Government together with other countries in the world," Harald said.
"But now it's all too late. However, this is also an opportunity. I will personally go to Mariejois at the top of the Red Line to apologize to the World Government and ask for their forgiveness."
"Tsk, sure enough, still that binary brain. Now encountering problems, he only thinks of compromise." Loki shook his head secretly.
Compared to Kozuki Oden, Harald undoubtedly had more brains.
But the route was wrong; the more he did, the more wrong he was.
Oppressing others by force is certainly wrong.
But abandoning everything and blindly following the World Government is even more foolish.
No wonder in the original timeline, he ended up screwing himself, his son, and his country.
Harald said expectantly: "Loki, I hope you go with me. What do you think?"
"Foolish!" Loki rolled his eyes. I'm in my infancy, and you want me to challenge a five-star dungeon. Is your brain really normal?
"What did you say?" Harald couldn't believe it, clenching his fists.
"I said, you idiot!!!" Loki started spraying directly:
"Having traveled the sea for so many years, haven't you understood the operating system of the World Government yet? It is to gather the material resources of the world to support the Celestial Dragons."
"Under the system of the World Government, only the Celestial Dragons are truly human."
"Calling themselves gods, self-proclaimed [Descendants of the Creator], if you are not clear about what kind of posture these people have, just recall what you used to be like. The World Government has maintained this for nine hundred years, and their arrogance is countless times greater than yours was!"
"Would such an arrogant World Government care about the opinion of a mortal like you? Stop dreaming!"
Harald's face stiffened, but he knew even better how much he used to advocate force. If he hadn't met Ida, he would never have understood what it means to understand others in his life.
Loki was right.
The Celestial Dragons who can dominate everything in the world will only be worse than he used to be.
While Harald was reflecting, Loki continued:
"Do you think that by joining the World Government, Elbaf can successfully establish diplomatic relations and coexist peacefully with all countries and races in the world?"
"More than a hundred years ago, the Ryugu Kingdom joined the World Government. Why don't you go ask if any merfolk from the current Ryugu Kingdom are still captured by pirates or human traffickers and sold to Celestial Dragons as slaves?"
"Elbaf hasn't joined yet, and the World Government already covets the power of the Giant Tribe."
"After joining, all giants in the world will most likely have only four choices."
"Prince Loki, which four choices?" Kashi scratched his head. The previous words were too complicated for him to understand, but he understood this sentence.
Not bad, good catch. Loki gave Kashi an approving look and continued:
"First, be forced to join the Marines as an army guarding the World Government;
Second, be reduced to slaves of the Celestial Dragons and suffer torture;
Third, resist the atrocities of the World Government;
Fourth, find a place no one can find and live out the rest of your life in disgrace!"
Speaking of this, Loki paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone, articulating each word: "Do you want to help the World Government built on countless corpses, or do you want to become slaves, or live anonymously as if nothing happened until the end of your life?"
"Or create a truly free, fair, just Elbaf that accommodates all races like me?!"
"Dogshit World Government!!"
"Never be slaves!!"
"Prince Loki, I am willing to die for your ideals!!"
"..."
Dozens of warriors from various villages in Elbaf raised their weapons excitedly, shouted loudly, and responded to the King they recognized at this moment.
"A mere Harald wants to shake the morale of my army."
Loki sneered in his heart.
Harald dislikes or even rejects the martial faction of Elbaf.
Then let him win them over!
"Loki, maybe you are right." Harald's shoulders slumped, looking somewhat desolate.
