"If you aren't afraid of becoming an enemy of all Elbaf, you can go ahead and try!"
Golden Lion Shiki raised an eyebrow; they had learned from Rocks that Harald possessed a powerful strength no less than that of Rocks himself.
He was not willing to provoke such a monster.
The thought of being hunted by the powerful Harald and every giant in Elbaf was quite daunting!
"I can't wait to explore this kingdom of giants!"
Edward Newgate, Sanbel, and the others were all in high spirits.
Before long, the appearance of the Rocks Pirates' Flying Battleship quickly caught the attention of the Giant Race.
Could such a massive warship be a new vessel from one of the giant villages?
After all, in the minds of these giants, only their Giant Race could build such a colossal warship.
The pirate ships of humans were usually very small.
"Eh? How can this warship fly without passing through the Sea Clouds of the Bifrost?"
Soon, some giants noticed something different about the gibecks sword.
However, as some giants saw Loki sticking his head out over the railing, they assumed it was a new type of warship created by the royalty.
Perhaps the royalty had some new shipbuilding technology!
"Is that Loki?"
"Is King Harald back?"
"I wonder if we can build this kind of Flying Battleship that can fly out of thin air..."
A large number of giants began to discuss fervently, especially those from the Carpenter Village, each carrying a hammer with eyes full of a desire for a challenge.
They also wanted to personally build this new kind of flying warship.
--- "Elbaf is divided into three levels based on the tree of war: Heaven, Sunny World, and the Underworld!"
"To the southeast is the Carpenter Village, where they excel at crafting and everyone carries a large hammer;"
"To the northwest is the Hunters' Village, where they are skilled with bows and arrows and are the strongest hunting warriors;"
"To the east is the Fishing Lion Village, where they excel at hunting sea beasts and have top-tier swimming abilities;"
"To the north is the Sake Village, which is famous for brewing and has the highest concentration of high-ranking officials in Elbaf;"
"To the southwest is the Warriors' Spring, which features an amusement park and the Owl Library;"
"To the west is the West Village, the most prosperous town where generations of the Giant Warrior Pirates have formed and set sail; Orsto Castle, the royal capital, sits on a massive branch at the edge of the West Village."
Loki jumped onto the railing and pointed in various directions, giving Fang Huo, Rocks, and the others a brief introduction to the general situation of Elbaf.
"Biblo in the Owl Library is an ancient owl that has lived for many centuries; it has the ability to enlarge any non-living entities."
"It allows us to read enlarged books and newspapers from the outside world."
Ida actually very much hoped that Hajrudin and Loki could become cultured scholars, but unfortunately, both of them worshipped strength.
Especially Hajrudin; in order to catch up with Loki, he practiced his swordsmanship and trained almost every day.
"Speaking of which, your ability to enlarge pirate ships is just like Biblo's enlargement power."
Loki looked at Fang Huo with some curiosity; he was only now realizing that this human who wanted to be his godfather had already used many different abilities.
"The Paramecia Type · Grow-Grow Fruit Ability is nothing compared to my Momo-Momo Fruit Ability."
Fang Huo smiled slightly; he had almost forgotten about Elbaf's Owl Library, which had been passed down for countless centuries. He wondered what important books and intelligence were inside.
The number of books might not rival the tree of knowledge, but it might contain even more information regarding the Giant Kingdom.
"So your power is called the Momo-Momo Fruit Ability."
Loki made a serious note of it, intending to look up the techniques of this ability later.
"Gyahahahaha! Brat Loki! The Momo-Momo Fruit Ability is just one of Fang Huo's many powers!"
"He is currently the only person in the world with seven fruit abilities, and in the future, he might even have nine!"
"So, being this guy's godson is your good fortune!"
Golden Lion Shiki grinned and laughed while biting his cigar, but his tone was full of bitterness and envy.
He also wanted to have Fang Huo's genius constitution; he also wanted to possess so many Devil Fruit abilities!
"What!!"
Loki, Hajrudin, and Ida were once again deeply shocked.
Especially Ida; her eyes were filled with worry.
She knew Fang Huo was strong, but she hadn't expected him to be this powerful.
Over the past few days, she had eavesdropped on the conversations of these pirates and learned that Rocks himself possessed a strength as great as Harald's.
She hadn't expected that besides Charlotte Linlin, that demonic monster who could kill Elder Yoruru at age five, there were actually Executives even stronger than her.
This Vice Captain Fang Huo and that Executive called Whitebeard Newgate seemed to have strength surpassing even Charlotte Linlin.
Even that foul-mouthed blond pirate Golden Lion Shiki was one of the Rocks Pirates' Four King Executives, ranking alongside Charlotte Linlin.
How could one pirate crew have so many monsters!
"Can't you keep it low-key!! Shiki!!"
Fang Huo smiled faintly, but his expression was one of enjoyment, as if waiting for the others to continue boasting for him.
"Tch!!"
Once Fang Huo spoke up, Shiki lost interest and was no longer willing to play along.
"Brat Loki, if you annoy our first mate, he'll drain your luck and make you miserable every day."
"For example, you'll get food poisoning when you eat, choke when you drink water, trip while walking, get bitten by poisonous insects, and here in Elbaf, you might even be crushed to death by a falling branch..."
Long Bread spoke eerily into the ears of the two giant children, Loki and Hajrudin, like a little devil.
"Also, you can't even speak ill of the first mate; his lightning-imbued Observation Haki can cover an entire island..."
"His pillars of lightning will strike your head at any moment..."
"The first mate might even summon meteors to crush you and destroy your homeland..."
With every sentence Long Bread uttered, the faces of Loki's trio changed, and the expressions of several Executives who had been affected by Fang Huo's abilities also twitched.
Having luck drained and becoming miserable, or badmouthing Fang Huo and being struck by lightning—certain Executives had experienced it all.
"Hey! Long Bread, how can you slander Lord Fang Huo like that!"
"Fang Huo is a very good person!"
Shimotsuki Furiko and Stussy immediately glared at Long Bread, defending their man.
"That's right, I am the Great Love Immortal Venerable, a man of supreme charity dedicated to making the world a better place!"
A faint white glow emanated from Fang Huo's body, making him look as holy as a deity.
Even Loki, Ida, and the others were a bit dazed by the sight.
"First stop, we'll go to that Owl Library and have a peaceful exchange with the Giant Race!"
"Second stop, we'll visit Harald's royal palace, Orsto Castle, and wait for Harald to return."
Fang Huo smiled faintly; he didn't believe Harald would dare to go all out right in the middle of his own base.
This would make Harald hesitant to act for fear of collateral damage, forcing him to listen to what the Rocks Pirates had to say.
If Harald wasn't afraid of destroying Orsto Castle and insisted on starting a fight with the Rocks Pirates...
Then monsters like Rocks, Fang Huo, and Newgate wouldn't mind showing Harald and the Giant Race what island-destroying power really looked like.
However, Harald often went out to sea, so he should have known long ago that the Rocks Pirates destroyed Enies Lobby!
Hopefully, Harald's own tragedy, as well as the tragedies of Ida and Loki, would make this giant king change his mind... ---
