The unanimous words exploded like thunder.
The simultaneous opening of the five giants gave off an overwhelming sense of power and might.
Perhaps, the five Giant Vice Admiral are not as tall as the Dorry the Blue Ogre and the Brogy the Red Ogre.
However, just standing here gives off an inexplicable sense of oppression.
It is precisely for this reason that, in the Paramount War of the original work...
The Giant Vice Admiral's role was indeed minimal.
However, this imposing aura of someone standing guard and taking charge is definitely a sign of authority.
At least, it aligns with the principle of "losing the game but not the moral high ground."
The challenge from the five giants also caused Dorry the Blue Ogre to pause in surprise.
The next moment, his eyes lit up.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Bai Yu.
Seeing that Bai Yu did not speak up to stop him, Dorry the Blue Ogre's fighting spirit surged.
Hiding in his Little Garden for over a century, he only made a brief appearance in the Sabaody Archipelago.
He was completely crushed by Bai Yu with a single strike.
To be able to have such a grand stage performance.
There were even giants clashing.
This is absolutely the perfect stage.
It's fair to say that if the person taking on this challenge were an ordinary person...
Dorry the Blue Ogre would definitely refuse.
However, these five in front of us are giants, and even more so, senior Vice Admiral in the navy.
This alone makes it worth fighting.
At least, this is an honor that belongs to giants.
"Haha, I didn't expect to encounter such a challenge from a junior as soon as I arrived at Marine Headquarters."
Dorry the Blue Ogre laughed heartily.
"However, I enjoy this kind of challenge."
"All of you come at me together!"
Come at me together?
The scene erupted in uproar.
Even Garp and Sengoku seemed a bit surprised.
However, this arrogant attitude is enough to prove that Dorry the Blue Ogre has absolute confidence in the Eight Gates Released.
At the same time, he accepted the challenge immediately upon hearing Dorry the Blue Ogre's words.
It seems that allowing the five giants to challenge them this time was the right gamble.
Regardless of the final outcome.
As long as you play the emotional card properly afterward.
This plan seems to be going well.
At this thought, a glint of excitement flashed deep in the eyes of Sengoku and Garp.
Even Akainu, who was standing on the office building in the distance watching all this, tensed up slightly.
This awkward welcoming ceremony was designed to lower one's status and curry favor with the pirates.
He, who always insisted on upholding Absolute Justice, truly could not accept it.
However, considering that Garp and Sengoku so highly regarded the Eight Gates Released...
Akainu couldn't resist and secretly stood there to observe.
" Akainu, I didn't expect you to be interested in this kind of thing. I thought you didn't like Taijutsu."
An aged voice sounded from behind.
Akainu's expression immediately turned ugly.
However, he quickly suppressed this slight feeling of unease, turned around to look at Zephyr, whose face had aged considerably, and snorted coldly.
"Hmph, so it's Professor Zephyr. I thought you wouldn't be part of this mess, but it turns out you've been hiding here."
"Don't worry, I just want to see the moment that pirate is defeated by Headquarters Vice Admiral. As for the so-called secret techniques of Taijutsu."
"This is something that not just anyone can learn. Furthermore, I don't believe that pirates would so easily impart the secrets of Taijutsu to others."
"You've probably wasted your time on this trip."
"Or rather, that pirate will be defeated, disappointing you."
As one of Zephyr's students.
Akainu and Kizaru have always been at odds with Zephyr's philosophy of Taijutsu.
In their eyes, developing Devil Fruit abilities to the fullest extent is definitely faster than honing Taijutsu.
For this very reason, Zephyr has always disliked Akainu.
This completely set a bad precedent for his students.
It has even led many students astray, making them all eager to obtain Devil Fruit.
Looking at this former student, whom he was once proud of, Zephyr sighed softly.
Don't worry, I'm not here to lecture you this time.
"After this incident, I understand that in this dog-eat-dog world, only sufficient strength gives you the greatest say."
"Therefore, whether students focus on Taijutsu or Devil Fruit abilities, it's a good thing."
"That's also why I approved of Garp and Sengoku's operation this time."
Akainu frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing deep in his eyes.
He was well aware of how stubborn this teacher was.
Otherwise, in the original work, Kizaru wouldn't have given Zephyr a lecture on his deathbed.
However, looking at the much older Zephyr, Akainu clearly understood that the Edward Weevil incident had been a huge blow to Zephyr.
However, having ideas is one thing, saying them is another.
Akainu snorted coldly.
"Hmph, you're being too naive. I'm not going to waste my time on something so unstable."
Zephyr fell silent.
He had also questioned Akainu.
Whether the giants would teach it, and whether they could apply it, remains to Taijutsu.
Zephyr had considered all of these things.
However, after what happened with Weevil, he decided to give it a try.
At the very least, not everyone is lucky enough to obtain Devil Fruit.
Not to mention reaching the level of Akainu and Kizaru.
"You mean you want to take on all five of us by yourself?"
John Giant's face darkened.
The remaining four giants also showed a hint of unease on their faces.
As giants, and having grown up in Elbaf, the land of giants, they naturally grew up listening to the legends of the Dorry the Blue Ogre and the Brogy the Red Ogre.
However, childhood is childhood, and the present is the present.
As a Marine Vice Admiral, he was taken down by one man against five.
They find this kind of thing very difficult to accept.
"Haha, young man, don't be upset. If it were before, I would have thought twice, but now I have absolute confidence in defeating you."
Dorry the Blue Ogre laughed and patted Brogy on the shoulder.
They had already discussed it beforehand, and he would be the one to handle the first problem they encountered.
When they encountered trouble a second time, it was Brogy's turn to step in.
If a problem cannot be solved by one person alone, then we should act together.
Of course, this decision was made after Bai Yu consulted with him and then suggested playing rock-paper-scissors.
After all, if two giants were allowed to go berserk at the same time within the Marine Headquarters...
One move with Eight Gates, Haki H sovereign.
It's likely that at least one corner of the Marine Headquarters has been destroyed.
Bai Yu absolutely did not want to see this happen.
Seeing the confident look on the Dorry the Blue Ogre, John Giant's expression gradually darkened.
Sengoku, who was standing to the side, coughed lightly and said...
" Vice Admiral John, don't forget the important matter at hand; let the battle begin now."
