Grand Line, first half, within the Alabasta Kingdom.
After a night's rest, Crocodile's injuries finally returned to their peak condition under the treatment of Takenaka Kaguya's Medical Ninjutsu.
In response, Crocodile became even more curious about Takenaka Kaguya, so he asked cautiously, "Xuan Long Admiral, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course!"
Takenaka Kaguya replied nonchalantly while drinking.
"The navy said before that you ate Mythical Zoan Kuro Ryu no Mi, and the fruit's power is almost the same as Kaido of the Beasts today.
However, according to the information I know, you can not only control flames, but also freeze seawater instantly.
In addition, the green energy that just emerged from your body can also heal. There are various signs that the Devil Fruit you have eaten has too many abilities, and each one is very powerful.
Finally, at night, your clone can still have the ability to fight Bullet, and I have carefully observed that you are drinking alone without any impact. What is going on?" Crocodile carefully observed Takenaka Kaguya's expression while asking the doubts in his heart.
I have to say that Crocodile is more about playing with your brains than just fighting with fists and fists.
Looking at Crocodile's face, which although young, did not look like the rebellious face that appeared in the original work, Takenaka Kaguya couldn't help but laugh.
"Crocodile, you are indeed observing carefully, but there are some things that I can't tell you yet.
Also, don't be too curious. There are countless examples of curiosity killing the cat. I hope you won't be the next one." Takenaka Kaguya shook his head slightly. Not only did he not answer Crocodile's question, but he specifically reminded him.
Over the years, as Takenaka Kaguya's combat skills gradually emerged, the Navy, or rather World Government, even sent people to ask him if he had eaten multiple Devil Fruit.
The people who were sent to inquire about his fruit abilities would either have their legs broken by him and throw out Marine G-1 Base, or they would not even be able to see his face.
Over time, World Government also learned about Takenaka Kaguya's attitude. Although Five Elders wanted to find out, he was also worried about angering Takenaka Kaguya because of this kind of thing, so he left it alone.
Now, Crocodile has just joined his command, and there is no way to guarantee even the slightest loyalty. How could Takenaka Kaguya tell him one of his biggest secrets?
Moreover, when someone like Monkey D. Luffy fights against someone, as long as the opponent wonders what his fruit power is, he will take the initiative to reveal that he is Rubber Man who ate Gomu Gomu no Mi.
In Takenaka Kaguya's opinion, this kind of behavior is tantamount to the behavior of a fool.
Just kidding, fighting is fighting, and you should try your best to hide your weaknesses from the enemy. People like Monkey D. Luffy who expose themselves proactively can grow into future One Piece. Either his Child of Prophecy aura is too buggy, or he has met a group of guys who understand the world.
"Hahaha, Sand Crocodile, you just came here and you want to know the secret of the boss. Aren't you a little confused about the big and small kings?
I'm not afraid to tell you, the secret of our boss, even if World Government and Five Elders sent people to ask, the boss didn't reveal it.
You just joined us and you want to know these secrets, do you think it's possible?"
Suddenly, Bullet on the side laughed, walked up to Crocodile, reached out and patted his shoulder and said.
"Sorry, Xuan Long Admiral, I was rude!"
Crocodile has a brain after all. Since his problem involves many secrets, he will not continue to struggle with it.
"Well, let's go, it's getting daylight, it's time for us to set off!"
Takenaka Kaguya nodded lightly, then stood up, made Hanbing's house disappear with a wave of his hand, and then walked forward.
Seeing this, Bullet smiled and quickly followed. Crocodile, after thinking for a few seconds, also accelerated and followed Bullet.
After crossing the desert, the three of them came to Little Garden.
Takenaka Kaguya's necessary purpose is not only to hunt Roger Pirates, but also to subdue the two giants Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy who live in Little Garden and bring them back to the navy G-1 Branch.
Giants, in a world with many monster races like One Piece World, has very good advantages. Its strong and tall height and terrifying strength provide unique conveniences for Giants's combat effectiveness.
In addition, Giants not only has overwhelming individual advantages over other races, but also has a lifespan three times that of humans.
In the original work, Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy, after Red-Haired killed Kid in one move, joined hands and destroyed Kid's pirate ship with one move from a long distance away.
Therefore, the strength of these two people is not bad. With a little training, the Navy G-1 Branch can have two combat power surpassing the Marine Vice Admiral level.
As the three of them arrived at Little Garden, the surrounding dinosaurs would take the opportunity to approach them from time to time, preparing to attack. However, Takenaka Kaguya did not need to take action against these dinosaurs and fishes. Bullet and Conqueror's Haki knocked them down.
Little Garden, in addition to dinosaurs, there are also some extinct species known to the outside world. It is a huge island that still stores the landscape of prehistoric times.
Not long after walking, Takenaka Kaguya curled his lips slightly and changed direction. After a moment, he saw a huge and fat warrior named Giants appearing in his sight from a long distance away.
This giant wears an iron helmet with sharp horns on both ends and a big yellow beard.
He was wearing a dark blue cape, a warrior's armor underneath, a white velvet waist armor, plaid cropped pants, and brown short boots.
He holds a huge ax in his right hand and a round shield in his left hand.
"Red Ogre Brogy!"
After seeing this giant, Takenaka Kaguya recognized the identity of this giant at a glance.
However, before he could take a few steps closer, he saw another giant wearing an iron face helmet and a long beard.
The dress style is very similar to Brogy. This giant wears a dark blue cape behind him, a warrior's armor underneath, a white velvet girdle around his waist, brown trousers on his lower body, and brown boots on his feet.
Holding a huge long sword in his right hand and a round shield in his left hand, it is Blue Ogre Dorry.
However, after detecting the strength of the two through Advanced Observation Haki, Takenaka Kaguya frowned slightly.
Because at this moment, Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy's bodies are severely deficient due to years of combat competition.
At this time, seeing that Takenaka Kaguya was not leaving, but was just staring quietly at the two Giants warriors not far away, Bullet asked in a low voice, "Boss, are you interested in these two Giants warriors?"
After finishing speaking, Crocodile on the side spoke the information he knew, "These two people should be the two captains of Giant Warrior Pirates many years ago.
The one on the left is Blue Ogre Dorry, and the one on the right is Red Ogre Brogy. The bounty of these two people reached 100 million Beli many years ago.
After they came here, they fought with each other almost every few days, but from the looks of it, there should be no winner."
After the two of them finished speaking, Takenaka Kaguya still didn't answer. He just turned to look at Bullet and said, "Go get a Sea King. Is there any problem?"
"It's all on me, boss." Bullet immediately smiled and nodded.
Just kidding, although he ate Devil Fruit, his strength has reached the level it is now. It is still very simple to get a Sea King.
The only thing you need to worry about is whether there is Sea King in the sea area near Little Garden.
"Okay, then get it as soon as possible. I want to treat them to meat." After saying this, Takenaka Kaguya turned his head and glanced at Crocodile, and then said, "Crocodile, you go too. If you can, try to hunt and kill a Sea King yourself and bring it over."
"Yes, Xuan Long Admiral."
Crocodile is a little confused. He doesn't know how to Haki. Suna Suna no Mi's abilities will dissipate as soon as they hit the sea water. It is basically impossible for him to get a Sea King.
However, after seeing Bullet's provocative eyes, Crocodile immediately nodded in agreement.
Whether he can get it is another matter, but he doesn't even have the courage to agree. This is not his Sand Crocodile style.
After the two left quietly, Takenaka Kaguya strutted directly towards Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy, who had already set up their stance and were ready to continue fighting.
A moment later, just when the two giants were about to take action, they suddenly saw a small human being walking slowly Earth Flow between them.
For a moment, both of them were a little confused, with question marks all over their faces, as if they were thinking, does this little human have a bad eye? We two giants are here to prepare for a fight, and he actually has the courage to come here.
"Blue Ogre Dorry, Red Ogre Brogy." Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile.
"Human, you actually know us?" Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy asked at the same time in confusion.
"Haha, the two captains of Giant Warrior Pirates, the two Giants warriors who had a bounty of 100 million Beli decades ago, it doesn't seem strange to meet you!" Takenaka Kaguya chuckled, then raised his head and looked at the two of them and said.
To be honest, although Takenaka Kaguya is now over 3.5 meters tall, for normal humans, his height is still very exaggerated.
However, compared to Blue Ogre Dorry, who is 22.6 meters tall, and Red Ogre Brogy, who is 21.3 meters tall, his height is about the same as that of a baby, no, maybe much smaller than baby Giants.
"Swish!"
However, the moment Takenaka Kaguya finished speaking, Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy actually took action at the same time, quickly slashing the long sword in their hands with one hand, and the giant ax in each hand also struck without mercy.
Although the two of them were huge in stature, their attack speed was not slow, and they were so tacitly coordinated that they actually attacked Takenaka Kaguya at the same time without any greeting.
It can only be said that the two Giants warriors who have been fighting here for seventy or eighty years have a very good understanding of each other.
"Haha!"
Takenaka Kaguya couldn't help but smile at the sudden attack of the two, and then saw him open his hands, one to the left and one to the right. And, just when his palms were about to touch the sword and axe, his hands quickly covered Armament Haki.
"Ding ding!"
Only two sounds of gold and iron colliding were heard, and both Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy had incredible looks in their eyes.
In their expectation, this little human might escape, or he might be hit by them and die.
However, they never expected that the little human in front of them could easily block their weapons, and even if they tried hard to get the weapons back, they couldn't do it.
"How is that possible?" Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy said with disbelief in their eyes.
This scene gave them a great shock.
After all, it's not like they haven't seen human beings in these years, some are kind and some have evil thoughts towards them, but none of them surprised them like this.
Giants is known for its huge size and absolute strength, but even though they used all their strength, they still couldn't take back their weapons.
"Haha, don't be so excited, I have no ill intentions towards you!"
At this time, Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile, while mentally appraising the strength of the two of them, he was quite satisfied.
After saying that, Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy were surprised, and Takenaka Kaguya actually let go of their weapons.
Just like that, the two Giants warriors looked at Takenaka Kaguya quietly with surprise and shock. After a while, Blue Ogre Dorry was the first to speak, "Human, you are very strong, much stronger than us."
"Yes, you are the most powerful human being we have encountered in the more than seventy years since we came here.
Tell us your name, your identity, and your purpose of coming here!" Red Ogre Brogy nodded in agreement.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Takenaka Kaguya, currently Marine Admiral, code name Xuan Long.
Come to think of it, you probably haven't heard of me.
As for my purpose..."
However, before Takenaka Kaguya could finish speaking, Dorry spoke angrily, "No, we have heard of your name before. You are a top powerhouse who suddenly appeared on the sea a few years ago."
As Blue Ogre Dorry finished speaking, Red Ogre Brogy continued to add, "Three years ago, a group of human pirates came here, and we learned your name from their mouths.
So, as Marine Admiral, is your purpose of coming here to arrest us two pirates?"
In an instant, Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy clenched the weapons in their hands. As long as Takenaka Kaguya was here to arrest them, they would not sit still and wait for death.
Although judging from the simple confrontation just now, even if the two of them join forces, they probably won't be able to cause any harm to each other.
However, as a warrior of Giants, there is no one who surrenders without a fight.
"Hahaha, I misunderstood. Within the navy, your reward order has been canceled a long time ago.
And I am here to invite you to Marine G-1 Base of New World to help guard the base!"
