Three Duels of the Giants?

A colossal tree, reaching seven thousand White Sea, stands tall in the center of a large island.

The visual impact of that majestic tree trunk is in no way inferior to that of Zou.

This is 'Elbaf', the Giant Kingdom known as the 'world's strongest nation'!

Perhaps that giant tree stole all the nutrients from the soil, because there are no other trees or vegetation on the island.

There are only continuous silver-gray mountain ranges and various rocky hills.

Zooming in further, you can see rows of large, rugged wooden houses standing side by side among the rock formations.

Although they look like ordinary one-story wooden houses.

However, their heights are all between 25 and 30 meters, and their average floor area is around 500 square meters.

In short, it's huge; everything here is so huge.

Even the children playing on the dirt and stone road were between three and five meters tall, but their population didn't seem to be very large, probably less than ten thousand at most.

In.

Deep inside lies a massive castle called Orust.

Many Titans warriors wearing horned armor and wielding giant axes and swords guarded the area.

The overall appearance of the civilization is similar to that of the ancient Viking period.

Inside Orust Castle.

A burly, middle-aged Titans clad in black armor sat imposingly on a massive black stone throne, with an ancient, jet-black spear standing behind him.

His gaze swept over the Titans elders standing below the stage.

It exudes a powerful and domineering aura.

This is Harald, the Giant King!

"You all heard what he just said. The World Government is only giving us three days to consider. What do you all think?"

His expressionless question broke the heavy atmosphere in the hall, but his cold tone made it impossible to discern what he was thinking.

"This is a threat!"

A Titans elder standing on the left shouted angrily, "We Titans never accept threats! If they want to fight, then let them fight!"

"Right!"

"The World Government seems to have forgotten the horrors of the 'Elbaf Spear,' so let them remember them again!"

"Fight them!"

His words quickly gained the support and approval of many of the Titans elders.

The crowd at the scene was in a state of high spirits, shouting and yelling, their words filled with contempt for the World Government.

"But now that 'Whitebeard,' 'Big Mom,' and 'Byndi World' have joined the World Government, plus 'Iron Fist' Garp and 'Daibutsu' Sengoku, are you sure we can win?"

Another Titans elder standing on the right asked in return.

Instantly, the Taiseki hall, cold and illuminated only by torches, cooled down from its lively atmosphere and quickly became completely quiet.

No matter how proud they are, they cannot ignore the weight of these names.

If it were just one or two, we might have some confidence to say something, but with so many top experts, we really can't afford to offend them!

"Yaruru, please continue."

King Harald's cold, hard gaze fell upon the other person.

Elder Yaruru was originally one of the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates. He was known as a 'hero' among the Giants and was also the oldest among the Senior Councilor.

"Your Majesty, the World Government is no longer a force we can contend with. If a real war breaks out, our Giants could very well become the next Lunarian!"

Elder Yaruru suppressed his anger towards Charlotte Linlin and spoke calmly.

"And that Star Gate and the Otherworld are the biggest reasons why the World Government is willing to extend an olive branch and try to get us to join peacefully."

"They want us Giants to join their so-called 'conquest of all worlds'!"

The mere mention of the word 'Otherworld' evoked intense curiosity in all the Titans elders; none of them were without a sense of wonder about other worlds.

Especially for those who love battle, the thought of fighting against powerful beings or armies from Otherworld is incredibly tempting.

"In that case, we'll provide Titans warriors, but we won't join the World Government or take orders from them. We'll cooperate as equals, and we'll discuss things together!"

Another Titans elder suggested.

His idea intrigued the Titans, including King Harald, and they all looked at Elder Yaruru expectantly.

"Impossible!"

Elder Yaruru shook his head, ruthlessly crushing their little hope.

"If it were the situation at sea in the past, the World Government, intimidated by figures like Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Golden Lion, wouldn't dare to push Elbaf too hard. There might have been a possibility of cooperation without joining the alliance."

"But now the first two are already their people, and 'Golden Lion' is said to have been imprisoned in Impel Down, but I think he's probably been recruited as well. Isn't Kaido of them?"

"I suspect that if we don't give them a satisfactory answer in Empress, these 'Emperor of the Sea' might come knocking on our door!"

These words silenced everyone, and each Titans elder wore a complex expression of helplessness, resentment, shame, and anger.

When had they in Elbaf ever been driven to such a desperate situation?

Even in that massive war nine hundred years ago, their formidable strength still prevented the World Government from showing any sign of hostility.

For the Giants, who have a lifespan of over three hundred years, the establishment of the World Government was only three generations ago, and history could be clearly passed down even through oral tradition.

"It seems like joining is a must this time."

King Harald sighed inwardly, then said coldly, "However, you can't subdue Elbaf with just words!"

All the Titans elders looked at this Titans king.

"Tell the World Government that three duels must be held, best of three!"

"If they win, then our Giants will obey their every command from now on. But if we win, although we agree to join, we won't give them that 'Heavenly Tribute,' and we'll decide for ourselves how many Titans warriors to send to the war!"

Elder Yaruru knew that His Majesty was trying to save face for Elbaf.

The problem is that the chances of winning the duel are too low.

As mentioned before, what if the World Government sends out 'Whitebeard', 'Big Mom', or 'Golden Lion'?

But this duel is inevitable. Giants have always obeyed only the strong, and we can't subdue them without a fight!

Two hours later, the proposal from the Elbaf Kingdom appeared on the coffee table Authority Room, and also before Imu on Noah.

"Three duels?"

Imu immediately became interested.

"Does Elbaf have three Admiral with the strength of a Titans? If so, it truly deserves the title of 'the world's strongest nation'."

He considered the candidates for his side. First, in order to win, he needed to select at least two players he was confident of winning.

"'Whitebeard,' 'Big Mom,' 'Garp'?"

But that's not very interesting. Imu pondered for a long time and thought to himself, "Since it's a duel between Titans, the battle animation should be more Gigantification to make it more visually appealing."

Don't worry about the Elbaf's name; the author will come back and revise it once the comic's official release is confirmed.
