Mongge admitted that he had completely forgotten about it.
When he first came to the Land of Giants ten years ago, he had bragged and blustered his way into winning over a large group of young fans from the Giant Tribe.
Among them was the wild-looking Giant Tribe girl standing before him.
Lipri.
Back then, Lipri had clamored to join his ship, which not only gave the foreign pirates like them a massive headache but also infuriated the pirates native to Elbaf.
In their eyes, if their Giant Tribe children were to become pirates in the future, they should join their own pirate crew, the Giant Soldier Pirates.
What was the point of joining some foreign pirate crew?
To avoid a fight with the pirates from the Giant Soldier Pirates, Mongge had made a promise to Lipri: he would take her aboard once she grew up.
That promise, of course, was a lie.
After all, Mongge was already sixty years old at the time. Who knew how many more years he could sail the seas, or if he would ever even visit Elbaf again in his lifetime.
Therefore, Mongge had immediately forgotten about such a promise made to a child.
Until now.
"Ah, well, you see, I'm here now, aren't I?"
The Giant Tribe girl's fists swung with great force, and Mongge could only dodge, smashing everything in the tavern to pieces in the process.
"For the Giant Tribe, ten years shouldn't be a long time, right? It's not too late for you to join my pirate crew if you're willing."
"Who wants to join your pirate crew now?"
Lipri slammed a fist onto the ground, leaving a deep crater in the tavern floor.
Looking at Mongge, Lipri said through gritted teeth, "Aren't you already impossibly old? How can you take me on adventures like this?"
Lipri was no longer a child. She understood the difference between humans and giants. For giants, a seventy-year-old was still a young man, but for humans, seventy was already old.
In a few more years, Mongge would probably be as frail as the two old captains in their village, easily pulling a muscle with a simple movement and being bedridden for months after an injury.
How could Mongge take her on adventures like this?
And how could she possibly let Mongge risk his life to take her on adventures?
"Alright, alright, don't be childish."
Hearing Lipri's words, Mongge waved his hand with a headache.
"Can't you see Mado is about to cry?"
The tavern, which had been clean and orderly, was now a mess thanks to Lipri, with even the wooden planks used for the floor smashed into several pits.
Just cleaning it up would likely take an unknown amount of time.
"Then punch me once."
"Hey, hey, look at my age. Taking a direct hit from you will really be a problem!"
Even when Mongge was young, he wouldn't dare to casually take a punch from a giant. Now that he was seventy, a single punch could actually kill him!
"Hmph, I was just kidding."
Your expression doesn't look like you were kidding.
Seeing that Lipri had no intention of continuing to pester him, Mongge breathed a sigh of relief.
Honestly, if Lipri were willing to join his current pirate crew, Mongge would wholeheartedly agree.
After all, she was a giant!
Once she grew up, she would be at least a Marine Vice Admiral level combatant.
Much stronger than Rocks, who was currently at the Marine Lieutenant Commander level.
But, how to put it.
Having lied to Lipri once ten years ago, Mongge found it difficult to shamelessly invite her again.
After all, Lipri wanted to join the past White Wolf Pirates.
And now, the entire White Wolf Pirates consisted of only him and Rocks.
He'd let nature take its course.
Lipri's previous actions were like a playful spat between friends.
After the fuss, she realized the other person was still the one she knew.
She immediately felt at ease.
"Hmph, I really can't understand why you're still sailing at your age. Wouldn't it be better to find a place to retire and live out your days?"
Having also learned about the current state of the White Wolf Pirates from Mongge, Lipri, with a bandana and gloves, complained while helping Mado clean the tavern.
"Haha, of course, it's because I refuse to admit I'm old!"
Sitting at the only bar counter in the tavern that wasn't affected by the fight, Mongge directed Rocks to help clean up the shattered table and chair fragments, laughing as he spoke.
On one side, upon hearing Moger's words, Rocks rolled his eyes.
Honestly, he didn't understand what an old man like Moger was still fussing about. He had originally planned to retire, but then suddenly changed his mind and even made Rocks his crewmate.
However, if Moger had retired, he wouldn't have been able to learn so many combat skills from him, right?
"Hmm, Rocks, and you over there."
"Why do I have to help you clean? You two are the ones who turned the tavern into this mess!"
Rocks yelled indignantly.
"Because I'm the captain, isn't it natural for the crew to obey the captain's orders?"
"Tch."
Rocks pouted in dissatisfaction and obediently started moving things.
If only he could defeat Moger, he would definitely show him what a real pirate captain was like!
"Is this the new crewmate you took in?"
"How is he? Full of potential, isn't he?"
Moger chuckled. He had already heard from Mado that Sister Carmelo was still around. Since Sister Carmelo was still here, Charlotte Linlin must also be on this island.
If possible, he wanted to take Charlotte Linlin under his wing, just like Rocks.
Although Charlotte Linlin was still young at this time, as the possessor of the most top-tier physical talent in the pirate world, Moger could only say:
Sister Carmelo, you can't handle this child!
Let me!
As long as he took in Charlotte Linlin and nurtured her and Rocks, his White Wolf Pirates would have two Four Emperors in one crew.
With the world so vast, where couldn't they go?
"Him?"
Upon hearing Moger's praise, Lipri glanced at Rocks.
"Seriously, are you really planning to set sail again, or are you planning to train a successor?"
Avoiding Rocks, Lipri asked in a low voice.
"Is there a difference?"
"Of course, there is!"
Lipri thought to herself, I want to join, but it's the White Wolf Pirates belonging to White Wolf Moger. As for Rocks, who is he?
The closest distance to an idol is growth.
Lipri was certain that she now had the qualifications to join the White Wolf Pirates.
What about White Wolf Moger?
"Heh heh."
Moger glanced at Rocks from afar and smiled.
"Even if that day comes, I will only let this brat go start his own faction. As for the captain of the White Wolf Pirates, only one is needed."
"And that is me—"
"White Wolf Moger!"
Moger did not hide his current ambition.
He might be old, but he wasn't dead yet!
His current achievements might not compare to Rocks' future achievements.
But that was just the future of another world.
Not his!
Who stipulated that he, from another world, couldn't use the chosen ones of this world as his stepping stones?
At this moment, Moger made Lipri feel a little dazed.
She seemed to see the spirited White Wolf Pirates again.
Although the White Wolf Pirates only had two people now.
But.
Moger is the White Wolf!
"Let me join!"
Lipri suddenly bowed, a brilliant smile on her face.
"Old man, your pirate crew is short on people right now, isn't it?"
"Count me in!"
