Chapter 210

"Is that World? Is that guy really that strong?!"

What do you mean he wants to conquer that sea area?

The giants were somewhat surprised.

Then, they realized something.

"Prince Loki! Things don't look good! If that guy World really wants to conquer this sea area, will Elbaf also be attacked?"

A giant turned around and shouted in alarm.

Thump!

The deck suddenly shook, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps.

A colossal figure, seemingly capable of supporting the sky, slowly rose from the thick fog.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you afraid of a few stray dogs?"

The figure sneered.

"Those so-called behemoths are nothing more than wild dogs to us, but Prince Loki, that World guy even killed Ochoku— "

The enormous figure paused for a moment, then said, "With that old geezer Gaban around, there shouldn't be any problems."

The giants looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then, the figure said somewhat impatiently, "Fine! If you're so worried, then go back and check."

"However, unless something really happens, you are not allowed to log in!"

The giants looked at each other in bewilderment.

No, we haven't said anything yet. You're the one who wants to go back, right?

At the same time.

On the naval fleet side...

World and his crew are about to conquer this entire sea area, while the navy is still struggling to keep up. It just goes to show how much worse their mobility is.

"Three billion?"

Sanji sat on the ship's railing, flipping through the newspaper. Looking at World's wanted poster, he exclaimed in astonishment, "There are probably very few places in the world with a higher amount than this, right?"

"Among the survivors, only Whitebeard, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin remain."

Binz said, "We're already on par with the Golden Lion."

Golden Lion has been away from the sea for over a decade, and his bounty is no longer up-to-date. It only increased slightly when he destroyed the G-14 Base, reaching 3 billion.

"His subordinates are also quite formidable."

The Vice Admiral Gion's gaze turned serious. "That Lunarian Tribe woman defeated Ghost Shadow Doro! She shouldn't be much older Naito, right?"

"That's right,"

Binz nodded in deep agreement, "That woman is a monster too!"

He certainly hadn't forgotten their first encounter at Sabaody Archipelago; Naito's attacks had absolutely no effect on her!

"What's frightening isn't just their strength; the countries near Hachinosu have also been conquered by World."

Ain sighed with some resentment, "Whitebeard, Kaido, World, Charlotte Linlin —each of these guys possesses terrifying strength and power. They're no longer ordinary pirates; in their respective territories, they're practically emperors."

Um?

Naito, who was quietly practicing his Observation Haki, couldn't help but turn around in surprise upon hearing this.

Emperor?

Could it be that you Ain, invented the title of "Four Emperors"?

"Emperor? Oh, Ain, that's quite a fitting title."

Kizaru, lounging Kizaru in a deckchair basking in the sun, slowly began, "However, no matter how much this emperor expands his territory, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for the Affiliated Nation, it's none of our business."

"Borsalino, you're too lazy."

Gion cautioned, "It's obvious that even if World doesn't cause trouble for the Affiliated Nation now, he'll eventually create even bigger problems."

"Let's talk about it later. This is the order I've received."

Kizaru said lazily, "The Navy's duty is to obey orders, Gion- chan."

"Really..."

The gentle Vice Admiral Gion could only shake her head helplessly.

Naito didn't participate in the discussion; he simply continued to quietly practice his Haki.

At the same time, half of his consciousness was still focused on Luna.

Ain is correct in saying that the countries near Hachinosu have all been conquered.

However, there is still one non- World Government Member States in this sea area that has not been conquered.

It is called, Elbaf, the Land of War.

Naito decided to go.

Don't get me wrong, we're not going to conquer that country. Naito doesn't want to be enemies with guys like Gaban and Loki for the time being.

I should be able to plant a few seeds first, and maybe pick up some other goods while I'm at it, right?

Chapter 143 Elbaf! Gaban!

Elbaf.

West Village.

On a huge branch outside the village stands a small house.

Of course, this is small in the eyes of the Giant Tribe.

Gaban sat on the windowsill, flipping through a newspaper.

"If you have time to read the newspaper there, go and tell me how your son is doing?"

In the courtyard, a beautiful giantess wearing an apron was hanging clothes to dry.

While hanging up the laundry, she said without turning her head, "Teacher Ange came to complain to me. That child made Ilfa cry at school, and the children are all saying that Colon is too rough."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Pirate King slammed the newspaper shut with his left hand, laughing heartily, "Isn't it good for boys to be a little lively? I was very mischievous when I was young, and I gave everyone around me a real headache."

Mr. Gaban,

Gaban's wife, Ripley, a biology teacher at the Elbaf Walrus School, turned around with a somewhat forced smile. "Do you think I'm joking? Do you want to see that kid Colon, isolated at school?"

"Cough cough."

Gaban suddenly broke out in a sweat, coughed twice, and then said nonchalantly, "Of course, bullying your friend is definitely not something a real man should do."

"I will give that kid a serious talking-to."

That's more like it.

Ripley nodded in satisfaction and continued hanging up the clothes.

Gaban breathed a silent sigh of relief.

He's not afraid of his wife; he just respects her.

But.

"Ochoku was actually killed."

Gaban remarked with a touch of melancholy, "Another familiar old fellow has fallen from grace."

"Ochoku?"

While hanging up the laundry, Ripley replied, "Is that the executive from the Rocks Pirates you mentioned before?"

"Yeah, that guy's no good."

Gaban said, "According to Shakky, that guy kidnapped her and sold her to the World Government, and he even killed Marlon for it."

"Oh?"

Ripley turned around in surprise. "Shakky? Didn't you go to God Valley because of Shakky?"

"So, the great battle at God Valley was largely because of this guy?"

"That's about right."

Gaban sighed, "If it weren't for this, that bastard Rayleigh would never have been able to accept Shakky's love! That wretched Ochoku! It's all that bastard's doing!"

"Oh? Mr. Gaban-- "

Ripley's smile turned into a forced one again. "So, you seem quite disappointed?"

"Cough cough, how could that be!"

Gaban coughed twice. "I was young and naive back then. Now, you and Colon are the only people in my heart."

You'd better be.

Ripley snorted, then asked with some curiosity, "So, who killed Ochoku?"

"World."

Gaban said, "A guy who was also active in that era, but shouldn't have this level of strength."

"Why shouldn't they possess this kind of power?"

Ripley was somewhat puzzled.

"That guy was somewhat famous in our time, but that was all; he was far from being a true great pirate."

Gaban said, "But after being captured by the Navy and imprisoned in Impel Down for over twenty years, his strength actually increased by leaps and bounds."

Speaking of which, did World ever see Bullet in Impel Down? That kid's been locked Impel Down for over a decade, hasn't he?

"So?"

Ripley nodded, not seeming to care much.

"Ripley, this matter is probably also related to Elbaf." Gaban's voice carried a hint of seriousness.

"What's the meaning?"

Ripley, who hadn't paid much attention before, turned around with some surprise.

"World is leading his demons and monsters in a rampant expansion across this sea."

Gaban said, "The newspapers sent to Elbaf should arrive later than those from the open sea. Judging by the time, that fellow World should have already conquered all the non- Affiliated Nation in this area."

"And Elbaf is also located in this sea area."

"You mean, that group might make a move against Elbaf?"
