Magnus admitted he had completely forgotten about it.
When he first came to the giant country ten years ago, he had boasted and bragged, gaining a large group of young giant fans.
Among them was the wildly dressed giant girl before him.
Ripley.
At that time, Ripley had clamored to join his ship, which not only gave the foreign pirates a huge headache but also infuriated the pirates from Elbaf.
In their eyes, if their giant children were to become pirates in the future, they should join their own giant pirate crew, the Giant Soldier Pirates.
What was the point of joining a foreign pirate crew?
To avoid a fight with the pirates from the Giant Soldier Pirates, Magnus had made a promise to Ripley: he would take her onto his ship when she grew up.
Naturally, that was a lie.
After all, Magnus was already sixty years old at the time. Who knew how many more years he could sail the seas, or if he would even visit Elbaf again in his lifetime.
Therefore, Magnus had immediately forgotten about such a promise made to a child.
Until now.
"Oh, well, look at that, I'm here now, aren't I?"
The giant girl's fists swung with great force, and Magnus could only dodge, smashing everything in the tavern in the process.
"For giants, ten years shouldn't be a long time, right? If you're willing to join my pirate crew now, it's still not too late."
"Who wants to join your pirate crew now?"
Ripley punched the ground, creating a deep pit in the tavern floor.
Looking at Magnus, Ripley said through gritted teeth, "Aren't you already old and decrepit? How can you take me on adventures like this?"
Ripley was no longer a child. She clearly 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, Magnus would probably be as old as the two old captains in their village, someone who would pull a muscle just by moving casually and would be bedridden for months after a minor injury.
How could Magnus take her on adventures like this?
And how could she possibly let Magnus risk his life to take her on adventures?
"Alright, alright, don't be so temperamental."
Hearing Ripley's words, Magnus waved his hand with a headache.
"Can't you see Mado is about to cry?"
The tavern, which had been cleaned and tidied, was now a mess thanks to Ripley. Even the wooden planks used for the floor had several pits in them.
Just cleaning it up would likely take an unknown amount of time.
"Then punch me once."
"Hey, hey, look at my age. If I take a direct hit from you, something will really happen!"
Magnus hadn't dared to take a punch from a giant casually when he was young. Now that he was seventy, a punch would really be fatal!
"Hmph, I'm just kidding."
Your expression doesn't look like you're kidding.
Seeing that Ripley had no intention of continuing to pester him, Magnus breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, if Ripley had been willing to join his current pirate crew, Magnus would have welcomed it with open arms.
After all, she was a giant!
Once she grew up, she would have at least the combat power of a Navy Vice Admiral.
Much stronger than Rocks, who was currently a Navy Lieutenant Junior Grade.
But how to put it.
Having lied to Ripley once ten years ago, Magnus found it difficult to shamelessly invite her again.
After all, Ripley wanted to join the past White Wolf Pirates.
And now, the entire White Wolf Pirates consisted only of him and Rocks.
Let nature take its course.
Ripley's previous actions were like a playful spat between friends.
After the commotion, she realized the other person was still the one she knew.
She immediately felt relieved.
"Hmph, I really don't understand. You're so old, why are you still sailing the seas? Wouldn't it be better to find a place to settle down and enjoy your retirement?"
Having also learned about the current state of the White Wolf Pirates from Magnus, Ripley, with a headband and gloves, complained as she helped Mado clean the tavern.
"Haha, of course, it's because I still refuse to admit I'm old!"
Sitting at the only bar counter in the tavern that hadn't been affected by the fight, Magnus directed Rocks to help clean up the broken furniture while laughing.
Meanwhile, upon hearing Magnus's words, Rocks rolled his eyes.
Honestly, he didn't understand what Magnus was still fussing about at his age. Magnus had planned to retire initially, but then suddenly changed his mind and even made himself his crewmate.
However, if Magnus had retired, he wouldn't have been able to learn so many combat skills from him, right?
"Mm, Rocks, and you over there."
"Why should I help you clean? You two are the ones who trashed the tavern!"
Rocks shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Because I'm the captain. Isn't it natural for crewmates to obey the captain's orders?"
"Tch."
Rocks pouted in displeasure and honestly started moving things.
If he could defeat Magnus, he would definitely let Magnus know what a real pirate captain was supposed to be like!
"Is this the new crewmate you took in?"
"How is it? He's got potential, right?"
Magnus laughed heartily. 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, Magnus could only say:
Carmelo, you can't handle this child!
Let me!
As long as he took Charlotte Linlin in and nurtured her along with Rocks, his White Wolf Pirates would have two Four Emperors in one crew.
With the world so vast, where couldn't they go?
"Just him?"
Upon hearing Magnus's praise, Ripley glanced at Rocks.
"Seriously, are you planning to set sail again, or are you planning to groom a successor?"
Avoiding Rocks, Ripley asked in a low voice.
"Is there a difference?"
"Of course, there is!"
Ripley thought to herself, I want to join, but it's the White Wolf Pirates belonging to White Wolf Magnus. As for Rocks, who is that?
The closest distance to an idol is growth.
Ripley was certain that she now had the qualifications to join the White Wolf Pirates.
Then what about White Wolf Magnus?
"Heh heh."
Magnus glanced at Rocks from afar and chuckled.
"Even if that day truly comes, I will only let this brat go off on his own. As for the captain of the White Wolf Pirates, only one is needed."
"That would be me—"
"White Wolf Magnus!"
Magnus 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 decreed that he, from another world, couldn't use the chosen ones of this world as his stepping stones?
At this moment, Magnus made Ripley feel a bit dazed.
She seemed to see that spirited White Wolf Pirates again.
Although the White Wolf Pirates only had two people now.
However.
Magnus, is the White Wolf!
"Let me join!"
Ripley suddenly lowered her body, a brilliant smile appearing on her face.
"Old man, your pirate crew is short on people right now, isn't it?"
"Count me in!"
