Chapter 211

Ripley exclaimed in astonishment, "Impossible! This is the land of the World's Strongest warriors, how dare they?"

"..."

Gaban didn't speak.

He simply raised his head, his eyes behind his small sunglasses staring straight at the distant sky.

"Hmm? Gaban?"

Ripley frowned slightly. "I'm talking to you."

"Life is unpredictable, and disasters always seem to come one after another. Isn't that what they mean by that?"

Gaban jumped up and stood on the windowsill. "Ripley! Go to the village and tell Elder Jarul! The enemy is coming! Tell the children to hide, and tell the warriors to assemble!"

"This is not an enemy that can be easily dealt with!"

"Huh?"

Ripley was taken aback.

A subconscious, fleeting glance back.

In the distance, or rather, between the second and third layers of tree canopy, a huge white cloud was rapidly approaching.

Cloud?

The Treasure Tree Adam, which carries Elbaf, does indeed reach into the clouds, but where would such strange clouds come from?

"I see!"

Without any hesitation, Ripley took off running towards the village, shouting as she ran, "I will protect Colon and the children, Mr. Gaban, you don't need to worry!"

"Is this the woman who has captivated even a preacher of love like me?"

Gaban pushed up his sunglasses and smiled, "Ripley, I love you."

"But,"

He gazed at the cloud that was drawing ever closer in the sky and sighed helplessly, "It's really tough on old people. I wonder if this body has rusted yet."

Regardless, let's strike.

Gaban jumped into the room through the window, and then quickly sprang back out, leaping onto the windowsill and disappearing into the distance as a blur.

The difference was that he was now holding an axe in each hand.

The legendary pirate, the left hand of the Pirate King, Mountain Eater Gaban, is on his way!

Meanwhile, Ripley had already stormed into the West Village.

This village is the core village of Elbaf.

Because the Castle Aurust, where the king once lived, was located in the tree branches not far from the village.

Of course, that castle is now abandoned, since the country no longer has a king.

Even so, West Village's status in Elbaf remains extraordinary, as the country's most respected elder Jarul, resides here.

"Isn't that Ripley?"

The giant in the village was surprised to see Ripley rushing towards them. "What's wrong? Why do you look so anxious?"

"Enemy invasion! Prepare the soldiers for battle!"

Ripley shouted this as she continued walking forward without stopping.

"Enemy?"

The giants' expressions changed simultaneously upon hearing this.

No way?

How could anyone in this world be so stupid as to dare invade Elbaf?

Ripley rushed to Jarul's house in one breath.

The world's oldest warrior, with his white hair, beard cascading down like a waterfall, and a sword stuck in his head, looked somewhat surprised.

But before he could speak, Ripley shouted, "Elder! A very powerful enemy has invaded!"

"Huh?"

Jarul was taken aback.

"Gaban has gone to meet the enemy; he needs reinforcements! Quickly gather all the warriors!"

Ripley rattled off, "I must go to the Walrus School immediately and take the children to safety!"

"Oh oh!!"

Finally snapping out of his daze, Jarul nodded emphatically, "Understood!"

Immediately, the alarm was sounded, and the entire West Village erupted in excitement.

"Enemy?"

While training and making final preparations for their upcoming voyage, Hajrudin suddenly turned around and exclaimed, "How dare they! They actually dare to invade Elbaf!"

"The New Giant Warrior Pirates! Assemble!!"

Let's go back a little earlier.

White clouds slowly approached the World Tree that stood tall on the sea.

Naito stood silently at the edge of the clouds.

Beside him were his subordinates, and behind him were giant beasts that had not been sent to guard any country.

"Is this Elbaf?"

Anthony was almost speechless. "The legendary Giant Kingdom really was built on a tree?"

Although he was a notorious criminal imprisoned on Level 6 of Impel Down, Anthony had never actually been to Elbaf.

He was arrested immediately after his attempt to seize power failed.

He had hardly ever traveled abroad before his arrest.

"That's spectacular!"

Salt exclaimed in amazement, "This world is truly never short of breathtaking scenery!"

He certainly hadn't been here either.

Or rather, of all the people on this cloud, only Buckingham has ever been here.

At this moment, the old woman's eyes held a complex expression.

How many years ago was the last time I was here?

I'll stick with Rocks back then.

That's a long-forgotten memory.

"The legendary World's Strongest,"

Anthony said excitedly, "Lord Night King, our goal this time is to conquer this country and make the Giant Tribe's power work for us, right!"

Don't talk nonsense!

"Elbaf's power is beyond your comprehension!" Buckingham said somewhat irritably.

Although there are rumors that Harald is dead, his son, that brat named Loki, is a true monster. Come to think of it, that kid must be all grown up by now, right?

Clearly, this woman knew some inside information, but not much.

"Hey, Miss Bakkin, are you underestimating the Night King's power?"

Anthony immediately put the hat on.

"Idiot."

Buckingham rolled her eyes, then looked at Naito, who was possessing World, "Lord Night King, do not let your guard down! There's a reason this country is called the World's Strongest!"

Naito merely gave a slight smirk.

I should know more about this country's strength right now than you do.

Although Loki isn't here, Gaban the Elder is no pushover either; he's probably Ochoku.

However, this time they are not here to conquer.

"Accelerate, Zeus."

Naito simply said, "Go to the second canopy."

"Yes!"

Zeus responded loudly, then charged forward with all his might.

The enormous white cloud island quickly flew up to the second level of Elbaf, a region known as the Sun World.

Zeus flew forward along the middle canopy and branches of the Treasure Tree Adam.

Soon, the huge village came into view.

"Oh, so it really is a settlement built on tree branches?"

Anthony continued to sigh.

That is, at this very moment.

Laugh!

The air was instantly torn apart.

A massive Flying Slash towards us.

Naito didn't react much; the invisible greatsword instantly materialized and slammed fiercely into the violent slash.

Boom!

Amidst a thunderous roar, a violent wind howled, and the aftershocks of the collision even unleashed sharp wind blades, slicing a gash in Zeus's body and severing branches from the treetops below.

"What!"

Salt was almost speechless.

As a swordsman, he was utterly terrified by this sudden Flying Slash.

Because it's too powerful!

How can it be this powerful?

It was only because Lord Night King intervened that he was able to cut the person in half!

Could this level of slash be Hawk-Eyes did in Elbaf?

"Oh? We've come to welcome us, Zeus. Lower the altitude a little."

Naito looked down at the area diagonally below with great interest.

"Yes!"
