With things having come to this point, the fate of Mohammed and the other elders was decided by Ripley, and they had no choice but to leave the place.
Lin Yuan and the others were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected Gaban's wife to be so capable. She looked delicate and frail, like a beautiful giant, but she handled things so decisively.
What was even more unexpected was that almost all of Elbaf's strongest members were supporters of the Gaban family.
" Gaban, you're something else! It's not that you're so great, but you've managed to find such a perfect wife! It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!"
Shiki patted Gaban on the shoulder and chuckled as he started joking with Gaban.
"Hehehe, Ripley and I are true love, and she even gave me a son, my own son!"
Upon hearing this, Whitebeard Newgate, Redfield, Shiki, and Bullet all turned their gazes to Gaban, feeling an urge to punch him.
Apart from Lot Linlin, who has children, everyone else present was a bachelor, let alone a son. As for Zephyr, that's a sad story.
Lin Yuan watched as Ripley effortlessly resolved the power transition in Elbaf, his eyes filled with approval.
However, no one knew that this trip to Elbaf was the result of a plan discussed by Lin Yuan, Tesoro, and Robin.
Many years ago, they had already set their sights on this land of powerful figures. The " Abyss " Merchant Guild did business here primarily to gather intelligence.
Lin Yuan was aware of the Council of Elders' control over Elbaf, but this did not align with his thinking; Elbaf only needed one person to make a decision.
Even fewer people knew that Just, Ripley and Gaban's nephew, had another identity: Ying 5!
Of course, Lin Yuan wouldn't tell anyone these things. Although Ripley has been supported by Lin Yuan to become the Queen of Elbaf, she still needs Lin Yuan's help to win over the hearts of the people.
"Hehe, to celebrate Ms. Ripley becoming the new Queen of Elbaf, we can't leave without making a gesture."
Lin Yuan looked up at the sky and then said softly.
"Come out!"
"Boom boom boom!"
As Lin Yuan issued the order, one after another flying warships emerged from the clouds.
These are all large flying cargo ships that Tom built in imitation of the Ark Maxim. There were eight of them this time, each over a hundred meters long and forty meters wide.
"My God, there are even ships that can fly!"
Ripley and Gaban were also shocked by this scene. Not only them, but Loki and all two thousand giants present looked up in astonishment.
"Boom boom boom..."
The enormous flying cargo ships landed slowly, Ripley keenly noticed that each ship was piled high with cargo.
Just then, a man dressed in magnificent silk clothes disembarked from the merchant ship, a man almost all the giants of Elbaf recognized.
He is the head of the " Abyss " Chamber of Commerce in Elbaf, and also the richest man there.
He bowed deeply to Ripley, then spoke calmly with a slight smile.
"King Ripley, this is a special gift from Lord Lin Yuan for you. It includes three ships carrying high-grade deep-sea meat, three ships carrying specialties from the Gourmet City, and two ships carrying various precision-crafted weapons. Please accept it."
Ripley, or rather Queen Ripley now, was at a loss. Although Elbaf was a powerful nation, it wasn't particularly wealthy.
Not only her, but all the Giant Race present were dumbfounded. For the first time, they realized what it meant to be outrageously extravagant.
It's important to understand that these large cargo ships are thirty meters high. Eight of them, each a hundred meters long and forty meters wide, descending together would resemble a giant city wall.
Not to mention that this shipment includes precious deep-sea meat, local specialties, and weapons—all things the Giant Race need.
"Gulp!!!"
Queen Ripley glanced at Gaban for help, unsure whether to proceed.
"Lord Lin Yuan, are you really going to give these things to Ripley?"
"Heh, Gaban, Ripley, you can have these things moved to the palace, then tell all the giants that Ripley is the new queen. Also, some of these things can be distributed."
Ripley and Gaban's eyes lit up, and they immediately understood what Lin Yuan meant.
"Then thank you very much, Lord Lin Yuan. From now on, Elbaf will be your most steadfast ally, swearing by the honor of my Giant Race!!!"
Ripley solemnly assured Lin Yuan.
"Hehe, I understand, but don't worry, I haven't finished giving out my gifts yet. Here are a few things for you; I believe they will improve the strength of Ren and the others!"
Lin Yuan simply raised his hand and waved it, instantly creating six boxes, each containing a Devil Fruit.
The giants present were dumbfounded, and even Loki couldn't help but stare blankly at the Devil Fruit.
"These are six Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit. Although they are not as valuable as Mythical Zoan, they are still quite precious. You can distribute them as you wish."
Upon hearing this, Ren, Gaban, and the Admiral named Bondi all swallowed hard; this was something that could boost their strength once again.
Ripley was clever and quickly understood Lin Yuan's intention. She smiled and accepted it, then addressed the crowd.
" Ren, Gaban, Bondi, you take men and move all these gifts to the square in front of the palace. I want to distribute weapons and supplies to all the people."
Ripley's voice was so loud that almost all the giants present could hear it.
However, compared to the envy of Loki's giants, all the other giants of the Sun World cheered and shouted "Long live Queen Ripley!"
Lin Yuan didn't talk to Ripley much, but instead let her arrange things in Elbaf herself.
Just then, Loki suddenly squatted down in front of Lin Yuan with an unnatural smile on his face.
"Um, Lord Lin Yuan, were those all Devil Fruit you just took out? And Ancient Zoan at that?"
Lin Yuan smiled and looked up. Even when Loki squatted down, he was still much taller than Lin Yuan.
"Hehe, what, you want one too?"
Loki's face turned awkward again. Not only him, but even the giants behind Loki were staring longingly at the Sun World Giants unloading their cargo.
The three Admiral with the strength of Admirals that Loki brought were even more envious of the six Devil Fruit in Ripley's possession, but they were too afraid of Lin Yuan's power to make any move.
Seeing their appearance, Lin Yuan felt even more satisfied.
"I'm asking you, do you want it or not?"
Loki gritted his teeth, then nodded and said, "My lord, if possible, I'd like some too!"
"Hahaha!"
Lin Yuan burst into laughter, then looked at Loki with a serious expression.
" Loki, I don't care what your past is like. If it weren't for Gaban, you would be dead. From now on, I need your loyalty, even if it means becoming the new king. Do you understand?"
Loki's expression changed, then he glanced at Gaban, who was smiling at him from a distance, and finally lowered his proud head.
"I understand, Lord Lin Yuan. I will offer you my loyalty!"
Looking at Loki in front of him, Lin Yuan smiled again and placed his hand on Loki's head.
"Hehe, I agree. You take your men and return to the Underworld immediately. There's a ship there with food prepared for you. Then wait for me to come over."
