Chapter 214
"I am indeed quite interested in dominating the Giant Tribe."
Hearing this, the Giant Tribe warriors were all furious but dared not speak out.
"But military power obtained through coercion is not trustworthy."
Gaban was slightly taken aback.
What does that mean? Does it mean this guy didn't come to seize the Giant Tribe's power?
I have two very simple requests.
Naito extended his right hand, raising his index and middle fingers. "First, I'm very interested in those colossal beasts known as the Mountain Lord that live in the Elbaf Underworld. You must provide them to me regularly."
Mountain Lord?
Gaban immediately frowned.
How could it be those monsters?
He racked his brains but never expected that World would make such a request.
What use are these wild beasts?
It was at this moment that Gaban noticed the ferocious beasts behind Naito.
The Pirate King's left hand's pupils instantly contracted.
Could these monsters be wild beasts that have been modified through some means?
World wants the Mountain Lord just to get a stronger beast?
If that's the case, it's understandable that World looks down on the Giant Tribe warriors.
Compared to the Giant Tribe warriors who harbor ulterior motives and may betray them at any time, the weaker but more obedient monsters are of course more reliable!
What Gaban didn't know was that while ordinary Mountain Lord were indeed weaker than Giant Tribe warriors, their strength changed drastically after merging with Naito's pirates.
"Can!"
Elder Jarul answered loudly without much hesitation, "We agree to this request!"
As for the Mountain Lord, it's nothing at all.
The monsters living in the eternal frozen wasteland of the Underworld were of no importance to this country; only Loki considered some of the Mountain Lord as friends.
But now that even Loki has left the country, no one cares about the fate of those monsters.
"Excellent!"
Naito nodded slightly in satisfaction.
In that case, the beast troops can be upgraded a little more.
The monsters of the Elbaf Underworld are larger and more ferocious than the beasts bred by the Golden Lion.
"So, World, what is your second request?"
Gaban's tone was very serious.
"Don't worry, it's a very simple request."
Naito laughed and said, "I heard that Ohara's legacy was moved back to Elbaf by former Marine Vice Admiral Saul."
"I'm also very interested in those ancient documents."
"What?"
Gaban's eyes widened in disbelief. "How did you know?!"
How could this guy possibly know about this?
This should clearly be top secret!
According to Vegapunk, besides the Giant Tribe and himself, only Dragon the Revolutionary Army should know about this!
How did World find out about this?
Not to mention Gaban, even Naito's men were dumbfounded.
What is meant by the legacy of Ohara?
Wasn't Ohara destroyed by the World Government because it wanted to revive the Ancient Weapon?
Could the heritage of that country contain clues about Ancient Weapon?
Ancient texts record Ancient Weapon; isn't that a given?
"This request should be very simple, right?"
Naito said with great interest, "Or would you prefer that I tell the World Government about this, so they can see for themselves?"
"..."
Gaban nearly crushed the handle of the axe.
The World Government already harbored ill intentions towards Elbaf. If they were to discover that Elbaf had secretly preserved Ohara's legacy, the consequences would be unimaginable!
That bastard World really is as good at threatening as he says!
"We agreed."
Elder Jarul sighed, then slowly said, "But you must promise that you absolutely will not harm this country!"
"Certainly."
Naito didn't hesitate much, and said seriously, "If it's not necessary, I certainly don't want to be enemies with the World's Strongest nation."
I hope you will keep your promise.
Jarul lowered his sword, and a hint of dejection inevitably appeared in the eyes of this oldest warrior in the world.
The warrior nation ultimately had to compromise with the enemy.
But there really isn't a better solution right now.
So the Giant Tribe warriors led the way in their mist boats, while Naito and the others followed closely behind in Zeus.
It's worth mentioning that Luna did not return; she remains floating above Elbaf, maintaining her fiery deterrent.
Gaban could only sigh helplessly in his heart; World was indeed too cunning.
Now we can only hope that he will keep his promise and leave Elbaf after achieving his goal.
Before long, the giants led Naito and his group to a beach.
It's hard to imagine that a beach could exist on the trunk of a large tree, but that's just how amazing Elbaf is.
After some branches of the Treasure Tree Adam were petrified and weathered, they formed a sand dune. Combined with the water flow from a waterfall cascading down from a nearby location, the beach was thus formed.
On one side of the beach was the Walrus School, where Ripley and the other teachers were leading the children to safety.
It was at this moment that they saw the mist boat descending from the sky and that white cloud.
What's going on?
Ripley didn't quite understand.
Weren't they supposed to be enemies? Why did they bring them here instead?
She didn't understand, so she could only let the children hide inside the school while she went out to check the situation.
At this moment, Naito had already landed in front of a huge building.
This is the Owl Library, where Saul brought back documents from Ohara.
"Wow, it's huge!"
Anthony followed behind Naito, involuntarily tilting his head back.
The gate before them seemed like an insurmountable Wall of Sighs.
"World, don't cause any trouble in here."
Gaban stood beside Naito, his tone carrying a hint of warning.
What are you worried about?
Naito simply raised his hand, and an invisible force formed a giant hand that pushed open the heavy library door before him. "My goal has been successfully achieved; there's no need for further chaos."
In fact, Gaban breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Naito's words.
Although these ancient documents falling into World's hands could have more serious consequences, at least for now, Elbaf should be safe.
Naito took the lead and entered the library.
The interior space is exceptionally vast, with thick branches growing like vines.
All the bookshelves were built using these branches as a support, and steps were even thoughtfully carved into the surface of the branches to allow for climbing.
On these enormous bookshelves, rows of oversized books are neatly arranged.
"How can it be so big!"
Salt was somewhat taken aback. "Wasn't it supposed to be Ohara's legacy?"
Surely the people of Ohara couldn't all be giants, and all the books they read were this big?
"It's that guy's ability."
Gaban tilted his chin upwards.
Looking in that direction, everyone saw a huge Fukurou perched quietly on a horizontal branch above.
It looked very old, with tired but calm eyes, and wore a pair of large, round, black-rimmed glasses.
"Biblo's ability is to enlarge any book it sees."
A rather loud voice rang out from deep within the bookshelf.
Immediately, a massive figure emerged from the middle of the bookshelf.
His orange hair and the beard on his chin almost blended together, making it look like a lion's mane.
His body had many frostbite marks.
At this moment, the giant looked at Naito and the others with some surprise, "Who are you?"
"Enemy."
Gaban pushed up his glasses.
"Huh??"
The giant, a former Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, a Giant Tribe from the West Blue, Haguval D. Saul, widened his eyes in surprise, "An enemy??"
Then, he abruptly looked at Naito, "Wait! Aren't you World? No way? You've really come to attack Elbaf! But—"
He looked up in alarm at Jarul and Hajrudin, who were leading the way.
He looked down at Gaban, whose face remained calm, and asked, "What exactly happened?"
"In any case, let's make a copy of this information."
Naito, not wanting to waste words with the guy, turned to Buckingham, who was looking around in surprise, and said, "Miss Bakkin, she's in your hands now."
