In fact, when the two giants raised their weapons high, Roy was already on high alert. Roy never underestimated the mysterious power from Elbaf, the world's strongest nation.
But when this incredibly powerful force erupted, Roy realized he might have underestimated the might of the Hakoku. It was as if he had been hit head-on by Sea Train. No, it should be said that he was being run over by Sea Train. Roy felt as if his body was no longer under his control, and his internal organs had been turned into a complete mess.
Even Zoan Devil Fruit user would be close to death in this situation.
Fortunately, Roy borrowed the power of the Titan Giant, which gave him infinite strength and vitality as long as he stood on the ground; otherwise, he would have had to fake his death to escape.
The powerful shockwave continued its momentum, even breaking out of Pangu Island and splitting the sea in two, which remained unhealed for a long time, as if an invisible force was preventing the sea from closing.
Roy's subordinates stared in disbelief at the scene. Before this, although the power of the two giants was terrifying, it was still within their acceptable range. But the scene before them was completely beyond their comprehension.
"Is this the power of Elbaf? It's terrifying!" Jin said with difficulty, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth, almost unable to speak.
"I wonder when I'll be able to sever this power with my sword," the Kenkon murmured to himself.
"This is too powerful. Even if I used my Devil Fruit Ability to amplify my power tenfold or even twentyfold, I could never achieve this effect." Patch' eyes shone brightly, and he trembled with excitement as he licked his lips and looked Dorry and Brogy over.
The two giants suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being watched by some evil being, and a strange tightness in their chests.
"Phew! Is this the power of Elbaf? It's terrifyingly strong. If I ever have the chance, I must go to Elbaf and take a good look." Roy calmed his boiling blood and steadyed his breathing before looking at the two giants. "Dorry, Brogy, now you can make your decision."
In reality, after unleashing their Hakoku, the two giants were completely drained of energy and spirit. They had only been forcing themselves to keep going because they wanted to see the result. Now, seeing Roy almost unharmed, they lost their will to persevere, their legs gave way, and they collapsed to the ground.
Upon hearing what Roy said, Dorry and Brogy exchanged a glance, smiled wryly, and bowed to Roy: "Captain Roy, we will rely on your care from now on."
The cold north wind raged across the snow-covered land, stinging the face like a knife and making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Stepping on the thick snow produces a "crunch, crunch" sound that echoes across the vast snowfield.
This is Drum Island, a winter island on the Grand Line, renowned worldwide for its medical skills. However, a year ago, all the island's best doctors were banished by the tyrannical king, leaving only Dr. Kureha and Doctor 20 who were willing to submit to the king.
The sick residents of the island had no choice but to kneel before the king and beg for Doctor 20, or to accept Dr. Kureha's treatment at the cost of being extorted.
Looking at the endless sea of people before him, Sis timidly revealed the information Roy wanted. His legs went weak, and he almost cried. It wasn't that he hadn't seen pirates before, but a powerful army with crews large enough to conquer a country was too terrifying.
The psychological impact of those two mountain-sized giants was undoubtedly even greater for someone like him who had never been to sea.
In fact, this country has not yet been attacked by Blackbeard's crew, and does not hate pirates as much as it does in the future, but a natural fear still exists.
Of course, what terrified Sis even more was the unbridled conversation of the group standing at the front, which almost made him faint, fearing that he would be silenced.
"Lord Roy, should I fly to the castle right now and capture that king and Doctor 20?" Xia was eager to show off her abilities; even Roy couldn't match her flying speed with her Devil Fruit Ability.
"Drum Island is known as a medical superpower, and Doctor 20 is the 20 best doctors in the entire country. So, shouldn't we just declare war on that useless king? With our forces, we can conquer this country in ten minutes at most," Jin said nonchalantly. In fact, the people on Roy's ship were a bunch of lawless scoundrels who had no respect for any king.
However, their constant talk about capturing the king and conquering the kingdom terrified Sis so much that he fainted.
"No, actually my purpose in coming here is to find that doctor you have overlooked, the Witch Dr. Kureha. Her medical skills are not simple. In fact, in my opinion, her medical skills are even better than those of Crocus, the Ship Doctor of the Pirate Kings. After all, she is a living fossil who has lived for more than 130 years."
Although the powerful figures in the Pirate Kings world are all incredibly strong, including super-strong individuals like Whitebeard who can shatter space, they too cannot escape the ravages of time. Apart from long-lived races like Giants, very few can live to be a hundred years old.
Dr. Kureha, at over 130 years old, remains healthy and energetic, leading one to suspect that she may have been a beneficiary of the ultimate power of the Op-Op Fruit. Since the ultimate power of the Op-Op Fruit can be passed down on the seas, it suggests that at least one person in the history of the ocean has benefited from the Op-Op Fruit 'Perennial Youth Operation.
However, none of this concerned Roy, and he had no intention of prying into other people's privacy. For him, ten thousand years was too long; he only cared about the present.
"Hiss, is she really a normal human? How can someone live that long?" Reiju said, half in amazement and half in envy. Actually, she wasn't very interested in immortality, but no woman could escape the temptation of eternal youth.
"Haha, this is the first time I've heard of a human whose lifespan is almost as long as mine. Going to sea with the captain was definitely the right choice!" Brogy laughed heartily, his voice echoing like thunder.
"Shut up, do you want to cause an avalanche?" Roy snapped, annoyed. With the Giants' loud voices, creating an avalanche on Drum Island would be an incredibly easy thing to do.
Brogy realized his mistake and grinned sheepishly.
"Everyone, spread out and search for Dr. Kureha's whereabouts with all your might. However, there is one thing you must remember: you must not be rude to her, understand?" This is also why Roy brought a large group. Having more people is always an advantage. It's a pity that Dr. Kureha hasn't moved into the castle yet, otherwise he wouldn't be running around like a headless fly.
"Understood!" The voices of seven or eight thousand people surged like a torrent, impacting all directions.
Boom!
Roy, the creator of the mega-avalanche, casually whistled twice. "The Tenten, everyone get moving."
