"The time has come… Let's begin!"
El folded his arms and spoke directly to Thor and Oka. "First, you two—Thor and Oka—will have the opening match!"
"Next, go all out. If you only sustain injuries, Willie's Mythical Zoan Angel-form ability or the Paramecia Healing Fruit we recently found can heal you right away…"
"Also, don't worry about accidentally killing each other. If I see that either of you might suffer serious injury or be in danger of dying, I'll intervene immediately!"
Having said that, El added, "Of course, given our time constraints… if you two end up in a stalemate for too long, unable to decide a winner in a short period, I'll stop the fight."
He couldn't spend half a month just waiting for a decisive outcome in a single match—this session was primarily to test the progress of these younger fighters, and at the same time show the core officers how strong the Kukulkan family's future really was.
"No problem—" "Yes, Dad!"
Thunder Calamity Oka and Thunder God Thor both nodded. Neither doubted El's words. His power had long exceeded their imagination, and his Observation Haki could even peer slightly into the future. If, during a heated battle, the weaker side came under serious threat, they trusted El would stop it in time.
"Whoosh!"
Thor, brimming with fighting spirit, hefted the enormous hammer off his back.
Dark purple in color and intricately engraved, one end tapered to a sharp point while the other was broad and block-like, brimming with destructive power. This was a peerless weapon that El had personally forged for his eldest son, and its quality spoke for itself. Not only was it indestructible, but it also greatly boosted and channeled the wielder's Haki.
"Well then, Oka-oyaji,* please take care of me!" said Thor, towering at an intimidating height and gripping his massive hammer. He directed a fiery gaze at Thunder Calamity Cyril Oka, smiling as he spoke.
"Heh-heh-heh~ I've been curious how close Thor-sama's current ability is to El-sama's at your age!" replied Oka, also armed with a heavy hammer, baring his teeth in a grin.
He was equally fired up, not looking down on Thor just because of his youth. The Lunarian clan of old might not have been this formidable, but now they were truly "a race of gods," and he knew not to underestimate them. After all, he had witnessed El's incredible strength when El was just seventeen. And El's genes were so overwhelmingly powerful that Thor—bearing both giant and Lunarian blood—had already grown into a monstrous young talent. Moreover, the match half a year ago between Thor and Elbaf's Prince Loki had caused quite a stir.
"Everyone else—move to Atlantis!"
With that order, El flapped his wings and took flight, telling everyone else to clear out and give the two fighters space.
Having watched Thor grow, he knew full well his eldest son had the qualifications to challenge a Thunder Calamity. One was a Logia user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, hailed as the "God of Thunder." The other was a Mythical Zoan "Kaminari Form" user, known as "Thunder Calamity." One had inherited both Giant and Lunarian blood, towering as a newly-emerged powerhouse; the other was of the Buccaneers race, in his prime, with frighteningly strong physical might. Their clash would be tremendous. Anyone remaining on the island would only get in the way.
"Go for it, Thor!!"
Linlin, Gerd, Lillian, and the others all cheered him on, smiling. They led Dal, Wind Calamity Irene, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, and the rest back onto Atlantis to watch from above.
"Thor/Brother, you got this!!!"
"Don't embarrass us…"
"Take down Uncle Oka!!!"
Whether it was eldest daughter Sif, third child Dar, fourth child Willie, sixth child Eden—siblings close to Thor in age—or any of the slightly younger Kukulkan family members, all were visibly excited, pumping their fists and cheering loudly.
"The first match—begin!"
Once the rest of the spectators had all boarded the airborne fortress and retreated to watch from high above the sea, El hovered in midair and signaled for the match to start. He gazed down at the two figures below, ready to intervene if necessary.
"Whoosh…"
Even before his words had fully faded, the two formidable figures—one massive, one merely large—leaped back in unison. Thunder Calamity Cyril Oka, about seven meters tall, and Thunder God Thor, towering at over twenty meters, simultaneously pulled away to create distance.
"Elbaf Spear—"
Their gazes locked, each man's eyes brimming with murderous energy. Veins bulged on their arms as they gripped their enormous hammers, braced themselves, and swung. With no hesitation, they unleashed devastating might, crushing the air in front of them.
"Ikoku!!!"
Wheee—Wheee—
Two colossal, cylindrical shockwaves blasted out with staggering force, slamming into each other in midair.
"Boom! Boom…!"
A thunderous roar shook the skies, and dazzling white light glared out. The entire island seemed to quake amid the deafening concussion. The two violent shockwaves collided, grinding against one another and ripping apart the earth all around. Rolling air currents sent giant waves surging across the sea.
"Geez—"
"That's incredible…"
"Thor-nii is awesome!"
"Uncle Oka is amazing, too!"
"So this is the famed Elbaf Spear?"
Watching this overwhelming display, everyone from Tsuru, Linlin, Gerd, Lillian, Hajrudin, Afar, Ushimaru and other officers, to Sif (the eldest daughter), Dar (third son), Frey (seventh), Ares (eighth), and the rest of the Kukulkan children, all looked on in astonishment.
A group of the younger kids stood wide-eyed and slack-jawed, utterly stunned that a battle could be so intense right from the start—two giants exchanging the secret technique of the Giants' Elbaf Spear. The spectacle was truly magnificent, leaving a lasting impact on all who watched.
