Cooperation Reached! Giant Kingdom Arc Ends
"Hahaha! My discipline was lax, Your Majesty, please forgive my poor behavior!" In public, one should still give the king some face, after all, they came to seek an alliance, so at the very least, one should speak in a way that makes them feel comfortable, right?
"Hahaha! It's alright. My son is usually spoiled by me, so I hope Mr. Blackbeard won't take his words to heart!" Piersa clapped his hands and laughed, and the two of them began to thoroughly flatter each other!
"Hahaha! Seeing is believing, Mr. Piersa, the Warrior King of the Giant Kingdom, truly lives up to his reputation!"
"Oh, no, no, my name is nowhere near as powerful as that of the Four Blues Blackbeard."
The two men flattered each other for a long time, which made Prince Loki and the others suspicious. When had their father ever praised anyone like that?
Laffitte and his group gaped in astonishment. "Boss, which eye of yours saw that the Giant are peace-loving?"
"Hahaha! King Piersa, to be honest, I have come to visit with a proposal that would be very beneficial to both of us!" Teach's words made Piersa's eyes narrow slightly.
It's here!
As the ruler of a country, he naturally couldn't believe that someone of Blackbeard's stature would come to his country for no reason, just to participate in a gladiatorial match!
"Oh, Your Excellency, please speak freely!" The king's previous smile vanished, instantly revealing his imposing side!
"As you know, the Blackbeard Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates are one family, and we have a long-standing grudge against the World Government. In the end, there will be an unprecedented war! The purpose of my trip is to persuade you to form an alliance with us and fight against the World Government together!" Teach said, sitting down in the huge chair. His short body exuded an unprecedented Haki of dominance!
"Oh? You surely know how powerful the World Government is, don't you? Do you really think you can get our giant race to join this perilous war with just a few words? That's highly unlikely! Or rather, tell us your strength and the benefits you'll bring us!" The king was a straightforward man; he naturally understood that the World Government wouldn't allow the Giant to develop unchecked, given their national strength. Therefore, he needed to carefully consider an alliance with Blackbeard Pirates!
"Hahaha! The King is truly a straightforward man! Then I'll speak frankly!" Teach leaned forward, revealing a confidence that astonished even the King of the world's most powerful nation!
"We possess the territories of both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, two Yonko-level pirate crews! Furthermore, we have four Yonko-level powerhouses, including myself! While our military strength is not as large as the World Government's, it is still immense! As for finances, we have the full financial backing of the Gild Tesoro! Coupled with a meticulous plan, we are confident of victory!"
It has to be said, this is an incredibly terrifying foundation! Although Teach couldn't figure out what Aokiji was thinking, with all the Yonko-level powerhouses in the entire pirate crew, Teach was confident that he could subdue Aokiji the moment he rebelled!
"Gulp!" Prince Loki swallowed hard. Clearly, such a powerful foundation was beyond his expectations! And with such a foundation, the pirates did indeed have the qualifications to go toe-to-toe with the World Government!
"Then may I ask, if we agree to participate in this war, what benefits will we receive afterwards?" This kind of insightful question truly tempted the dignified king!
"First of all, there will be no more auctions of giant slaves!" Teach said with a smile, stating the first condition, which immediately caught Piersa's eye! Giant slaves were undoubtedly very popular in the eyes of the Celestial Dragons! Every year, they would lose hundreds or even thousands of their people because of slave traders! But this one condition alone was not enough!
"Secondly, if we win the war, I promise that the Giant's territory will double in size! And all they will gain will be rich and fertile lands!" Teach's words were another killer move! With a larger territory and richer lands, the Giant's population would experience an unprecedented surge!
"Finally, we can provide the Giant with the most advanced equipment! While ensuring the safety of your people, you can also experience a more exhilarating battle!" It is common knowledge that the Giant are warlike! They have a fighting spirit in their bones. Teach's words were extremely sharp and struck the king's weak spot!
"Very well, I agree! I'm sure with your strength, you wouldn't stoop to lying! Well then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance!" With such generous terms, the king couldn't possibly refuse! Although he also loathed Big Mom, in the face of absolute profit, all of that seemed less important!
Who would turn down money?
The two sides reached a pleasant cooperation agreement, followed by a delightful banquet featuring enormous whales, ferocious Sea King, and barrels upon barrels of liquor, with laughter frequently heard throughout...
"Captain, shall we stay a couple more days?" Fakyu looked at the vast land, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes. The girls here were too passionate! He couldn't help but want to succumb to their charms...
"Shut up! You spineless coward! If it weren't for letting Rando and his mother stay one more night, we would have left yesterday! We've been away for so long, I wonder how things are back home..." Teach was worried; he always had a bad feeling, as if something big was about to happen!
"Mom, I'm leaving! Take care!" Rando said goodbye to his mother as he stood on the shore.
"Go! Don't worry about me! You have surpassed your father, and I am proud of you!" This gentle, giant woman fought back her tears. She knew the threat her son was about to face, and although she was heartbroken, it was a necessary experience for his growth! And she herself...
"Goodbye, Rando!" "You were a true warrior!"...
There were Rando familiar faces on the shore. He forcefully pulled up the anchor, compelling himself to leave this warm homeland...
"Rando ..." Shitt looked at that lonely figure and couldn't help but go up and pat him on the shoulder.
"Shitt, you know what? My mother said she's so proud of me..." At this moment, Rando finally couldn't hold back his tears. He had finally become someone who surpassed his father!
Rando's home
"Silly boy! This time, your mother can't be content with this peaceful existence!" Rando's mother wiped away her tears, took out a key, went to the warehouse, and retrieved a huge box!
"Click!"
With a crisp snap, the box was opened! Rando's mother silently took out what was inside—a magnificent set of heavy armor!
"Son, let Mom help you get rid of those bastards! No one can hurt my son!"
At that moment, a fierce killing intent flashed in Rando's mother's eyes! The leader of the Elbaf Women's Legion, known as the First Female Warrior of Elbaf, had returned!
