Duel with the Giant King
Sirius was somewhat bewildered by the Queen's remarks, but he wasn't the only one.
"Fighting?"
Jack's brow furrowed. "What are you suddenly saying?"
Luo turned to Loki. "Your Highness, could you please explain?"
This was truly a sudden decision.
Fighting?
Why?
Is this the kind of treatment we receive after traveling so far to be guests?
Could it be that there are actually five hundred axemen lying in ambush inside the palace, ready to rush out and kill them at any moment?
But then Dorry and Brogy burst into laughter, saying, "What are you still hesitating for, Sirius? Just agree already!"
Kindness?
Sirius raised an eyebrow slightly.
Could it be that--
"This is a trial!"
Loki solemnly stated, "This is a trial to test whether Mr. Sirius has the ability to learn that move!"
"Dorry and the others said that you might have the ability to learn that move."
The Giant King's expression was slightly serious. As he took a step forward, his terrifying weight caused the ground to tremble, as if a demon from hell was approaching.
"You are friends of the Giant Tribe, so teaching you some moves wouldn't normally be a big deal. But that one move is different. You should already know that it holds extraordinary significance for us Giant Tribe."
"So," Yamato a smile, "We can only learn that technique if we pass the trial, right?"
That's right.
Queen Lofey stood beside her husband. Also of the Ancient Giant Tribe descent, she wasn't much shorter than Fárbauti, but appeared much slimmer. She said, "Want to give it a try? It should be fine for you two."
Black Wolf and White Wolf are widely recognized as the strongest duo.
Sirius and Yamato exchanged a glance.
"Of course!"
Yamato laughed and said.
"Anyway, let's give it a try." Sirius chuckled, genuinely interested in that legendary technique that could pave the way for the future.
"Excellent!"
The Queen said happily, "Let's set the location in the square! Let's begin immediately!"
I'm really worried.
So, are the Giant Tribe also hoping that someone will appear who can learn that move?
Later.
Outside the royal palace, in the wide square where the statue of Elbaf stands.
Sirius and his companion were already facing off against the Giant King and his wife, weapons in hand.
The Giant King wielded a massive double-edged battle axe, while the Queen's weapon was a Warhammer; only the Giant Tribe craftsmen could forge such enormous weapons.
Because there was no intention to hide, many giants around were converging on this place.
"Will King Fárbauti and His Highness the Queen fight against humans?"
"That Sirius Pirates! The Pirate Emperor has actually come here!"
"Oh! The battle between the strongest Titan and the strongest human! How exciting!"
Jack crossed his arms, looking cool, and looked up at the Giant King and his wife standing opposite Sirius and his companion. "Just how strong are they?"
Dorry grinned, "Very strong! Very, very strong! King Fárbauti and Queen Lofey are the pinnacle of the Giant Tribe!"
"The highest peak of the Giant Tribe?" Hiyori was slightly taken aback, then she smiled and said, "What a coincidence! It just so happens that Sirius and Yamato are the highest peaks of humanity!"
"Hahaha! Let's look forward to this battle!" Brogy laughed heartily.
The Giant King and his wife were indeed very strong.
Sirius had already confirmed this even before he saw the two of them with his own eyes.
In terms of sheer power, he is absolutely no less powerful than the Pirate Emperor.
Of course, the advantages inherent to the Giant Tribe itself must be included in this.
However, the strength of these two individuals is absolutely undeniable.
Especially Fárbauti, even if he is not the Strongest as the Four Emperors Admiral, he is probably only a hair's breadth away from them, and may even be stronger than the Navy's candidate Admiral.
The Giant Kingdom is known as the Strongest in the World, and not just because their individual soldiers are ridiculously strong.
This country also has monsters ruling it.
"That'll be very interesting, Sirius?"
Yamato grinned and waved the Spiked Club in his hand.
Sirius slightly, sword in hand. "Perform well, don't let them down."
"Of course."
Yamato chuckled.
"Alright, Black Wolf, let's begin!"
A bright smile suddenly bloomed on King Fárbauti's face.
In the next instant, he stomped a huge hole in the ground, and the powerful force propelled his massive body forward like Inazuma.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Sirius and his companion, and then his double-bladed battle axe, crackling with black Inazuma, came crashing down.
"Hero's Spear!"
"Conqueror's Haki Infusion!"
Sirius laughed loudly and leaped up, brandishing his sword as he charged forward.
It's not surprising at all that a powerhouse of this caliber would use the Haki Coating.
"Dark Nether Strike!!"
Boom!
The enormous double-edged battle axe collided with Sirius's slender sword in mid- Inazuma, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that even forced the giants watching around the plaza to stagger backward.
Then, the Giant King took a step back, Sirius was knocked down.
"What amazing power!"
Sirius exclaimed in admiration.
The Giant Tribe are indeed far stronger than ordinary humans, but to Sirius, their strength is about the same as that of an infant.
But this Giant King was different.
His strength was ridiculously high, completely surpassing even my own strength when I wasn't using my abilities! He was even stronger!
"Thunder Hammer!"
Before Sirius even landed, his massive Warhammer slammed down.
Fárbauti stepped back, while Luffy stepped forward; their coordination was seamless.
What perfect teamwork!
Sirius thought to himself.
But--
"Thunder Bagua!!"
Yamato leaped up, laughing loudly, and swung his stick at him.
Boom!
The air was vibrating again.
Even though Luffy didn't master the Conqueror's Haki Infusion technique, her astonishing power still sent Yamato flying backward like a cannonball.
"The power of the Ancient Giant Tribe far surpassed that of ordinary giants."
"Dorry sighed."
Hundreds of years ago, the Oars Demon was even able to move an entire island with his own power, thus earning him the title of the Kingdom Thief.
"The Elbaf Spear - Great Nation!"
The couple moved forward and backward once more, but the moment they were shoulder to shoulder, the battle axe and the heavy hammer crashed down simultaneously.
The power of the Great Nation that Dorry and Brogy used back then was already quite astonishing.
Now, when the Giant King and his wife, whose strength far surpasses those two, unleash this attack, it can only be described as world-destroying.
A shockwave like a storm rushed towards them, Sirius couldn't help but exclaim, "What amazing teamwork!"
"Now is not the time for praise!"
Yamato landed next to Sirius.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
He grinned.
The next instant, a huge Black Wolf appeared out of thin air, and then it opened its mouth wide.
