Chapter 212

Thanks to the properties of the Homies, the wound that had been cut off Zeus's body had healed, and he quickly lowered his altitude.

Then, everyone saw it.

Not far ahead, atop a winding tree branch, stood an old man dressed in a casual floral shirt and shorts, carrying two axes.

"Oh, coming uninvited is rather impolite."

The old man grinned, his smile flippant.

Those around Naito were completely dumbfounded.

Buckingham's voice trembled, "This, this, this guy is—"

"Skba Gaban!"

Chapter 144 Ultimate Mystery

No way!

Anthony was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth. "Am I really dreaming? Why is the Pirate King's left hand here?!"

Anyone who makes a living on the sea should recognize this man.

A true legend of the seas, a member of the Roger Pirates who, for the first time in history, completed a journey around the world!

In terms of influence, even monsters like Kaido or Charlotte Linlin pale in comparison to this man.

Among the countless pirates on this vast sea today, perhaps only Whitebeard can slightly surpass him!

But why would such a legend occur in Elbaf?

Naito also observed the figure with great interest.

Wow, that's an unusually powerful aura.

To say that he is stronger than Ochoku seems to be giving Ochoku too much credit.

In terms of sheer presence alone, Old Gaban is far superior to Ochoku Zhi.

Even Charlotte Linlin's guy is somewhat inferior to him.

Ha, that's really exaggerated. Does the third-ranking member of Roger Pirates possess this level of power?

That makes sense, though he was jokingly called the "King of Tourism," Roger was the greatest pirate of the last eight hundred years, and the Roger Pirates were the greatest pirate crew after Joy Boy.

Rocks spent his entire life trying to get close to Imu, but Roger's Great Pirate Era was truly poised to overthrow the World Government's rule.

Roger's companions, of course, could not be weaklings either.

"Lord Night King!"

Even Buckingham couldn't help but feel a little panicked, "This man is much more troublesome than Ochoku!"

No one knew better than her, a former officer of the Rocks Pirates, how difficult this man was!

"Indeed,"

Salt nodded slightly in deep agreement, his hand already resting on the hilt of his sword. "The left hand of the Pirate King, the man who reached the Laugh Tale and knows all the secrets of this world!"

He smirked. "But in other words, if we capture this guy, won't we be able to get the location of the Laugh Tale out of him?"

"Oh!"

Anthony's eyes lit up instantly. "That certainly makes sense! If we capture this guy, the One Piece will be ours!"

Naito didn't speak, but simply let Zeus gradually approach the branch where Gaban stood.

"World,"

Gaban, axe in hand, gazed up at the approaching white cloud in the sky, his eyes behind his sunglasses fixed on the tall figure standing on the cloud. "Elbaf is not a place you should be."

"Skbar Gaban,"

Naito crossed his arms, looking at the now-white-haired man with great interest. "Are you ordering me around?"

"Haha, don't misunderstand,"

Gaban grinned, revealing a row of perfectly white teeth. "I was just making a suggestion, but I think you'd better follow it; it'll be better for all of us."

"Wow, what an arrogant old man!"

Anthony gritted his teeth and said unhappily, "Lord Night King! Let's kill this guy!"

"Oh? Should we take this guy down?"

Standing behind Buckingham, the silly boy Weevil sniffled and said in a simple-minded way.

"Don't talk nonsense, you silly boy!"

Buckingham quickly stopped the fool, "Everything is up to the Night King!"

Gaban alone is already terrifying, but what's even more terrifying is that Elbaf seems to be standing behind him.

Starting a war with him here now is probably not a good idea.

"Oh, I understand,"

Naito nodded dismissively. "Not an order, but a threat, Gaban. Are you threatening me?"

"I already said it was a suggestion."

Gaban narrowed his eyes slightly behind his sunglasses. "A good suggestion that will lead to a happy ending for everyone."

World has really become a completely different person.

Her appearance is pretty much the same as it was back then, but her personality is completely different.

In addition, the biggest change is naturally in strength.

This guy's aura is extraordinary; no wonder he was able to easily take down Ochoku.

Honestly, can this aging body really withstand such an intense battle?

Naito raised the corners of his mouth. "That's not how it is."

"What?"

Gaban frowned slightly, somewhat surprised.

What is this guy saying out of the blue?

"That's not how you threaten someone."

"Your threats are utterly ineffective," Naito laughed. "Who are you going to scare?"

"Oh? I didn't know there was such a saying."

Gaban smirked. "World, how about this?"

Crack!

Chaotic black lightning leaped from the old man's body, transforming into black snakes that danced wildly in mid-air, instantly filling half the sky.

The unparalleled Conqueror's Haki even caused the giant beasts behind Naito to tremble uncontrollably.

Even the officers that Naito had brought out of Impel Down's Level 6 couldn't help but change their expressions drastically.

"That level of Conqueror's Haki!!"

Anthony's eyes widened.

He seems even stronger than Lord Night King, is that something to be said?

However, Anthony didn't realize that this was actually a matter of course.

The amount of Haki that Naito could unleash when possessing World was ultimately limited.

"..."

Salt was also sweating profusely, and his longsword was already half-drawn from its sheath.

Where would they find even a shred of courage to ask Gaban about the whereabouts of the One Piece?

It seemed that only by drawing his beloved knife could he gain a little sense of security.

This monster!

To possess such terrifying courage at such a young age—if I were to become his enemy, I'd be instantly killed, wouldn't I?

"Hey, World!"

Gaban's voice, chilling and seemingly rising from hell amidst the frenzied Conqueror's Haki, said, "I'll only say this once: either get out of here now, or I'll chop your head off!"

"Oh."

Naito's lips curled into a wider smile. "This time the momentum is there, but the confidence seems to be lacking."

"Blustering will only expose your cowardice."

"Yeah?"

Gaban raised an eyebrow.

Boom!

Behind him, in the distance, came a roar of anger.

"Quick! Go and support Mr. Mountain!"

"Kill the intruders!"

"We must not let them get near the village!"

Ships flew in from the sky.

Those are Elbaf's unique mist boats, capable of freely traversing the skies of the Sun World.

Leading the charge was a small canoe, carrying Hajrudin and his New Giant Warrior Pirates.

"How dare you set your sights on Elbaf! You will never be forgiven!"

Behind this small boat is a much larger vessel.

With a beard like a waterfall, and being almost twice the size of an ordinary giant due to his great age, Jarul drew his sword.

"Support Gaban! Don't let the invaders get away! Don't allow any of them to get near the village!"

"Oh!!"

On the deck behind him, and on the other mist ships, the Giant Tribe warriors raised their weapons and roared fiercely.

The roar of these giant warriors was so powerful that it even transformed into a gust of wind and swept onto Zeus's back.

So many giants!!

Anthony couldn't help but feel a slight ache in his teeth.

Each Giant Tribe warrior was no smaller than the behemoths behind them.

In this way, the advantage in troop strength is directly eliminated.

However, the advantage at the cadre level remains enormous!
