Chapter 497: Contest

"Where are you going to mess around again, you bastards!?"

Just when the giants in the entire Yangjie·Nishimura were gathering and making noises because of the behavior of the Straw Hat Pirates, a giant like a hill suddenly appeared outside the crowd and asked the giants present in an old voice.

The figure of the person who came was dozens of meters tall. The giants who seemed huge to ordinary people were like children in front of him.

An old face, a fluffy beard as tall as a mountain, and a sharp giant sword that pierced through the top of the head.

The person who came was the former captain of the Giant Soldier Pirates and the most prestigious person in Elbaf, who was 345 years old-Mountain Beard·Aruru!

"Elder Aruru!"

Seeing the appearance of Aruru, all the giants instantly seemed to have found their backbone and turned their eyes to him.

Although the giants of Elbaf are a group of warriors who are fearless and yearn for freedom and adventure, the Straw Hat Pirates are now famous on the sea, and even as brave as they are, they have to be careful and vigilant.

Ever since Yororu was accidentally killed by the 5-year-old mother, the only remaining elder of the giant tribe, Alulu, has become the leader of all the Elbaf warriors.

In the face of the inquiries of the giants, Alulu immediately lowered his eyebrows and glanced at everyone, saying indignantly:

"What a group of cowards! Such a small thing scared you so much!?"

"What a panic, what does it look like!? Where is the glory of the Elbaf warrior!?"

Alulu, who was originally full of majesty, now has a giant sword inserted on his head, and he is majestic and a little weird at the same time.

After hearing his condemnation, all the giants couldn't help but lower their heads.

Because they had to admit that after learning that the Straw Hat Pirates were going to attack Elbaf, they actually felt a little panic in their hearts.

Although they believed that the great Elbaf warriors were not afraid of any powerful enemies and would wipe out all invaders...

But that was the Straw Hat Pirates after all! ?

Now the strongest pirate group on the sea, with countless elite soldiers and generals, almost defeated the World Government on the spot single-handedly.

Kaido and Big Mom, one of the four emperors, were easily defeated by them.

In today's world, they don't know who else will be the opponent of the Straw Hat Pirates! ?

Knowing that such a terrifying force was pointing its spearhead at them, how could they not feel panic.

But with Alulu's rebuke, the flame of fighting spirit ignited in everyone's heart again.

Yes!

Even if it is the Straw Hat Pirates! ?

They are warriors who carry the glory of Elbaf!

All of a sudden, all the giants' eyes became firm, and they raised their heads one by one, looking at Alulu with enthusiastic and firm eyes, as if responding to him...

They are not afraid of any challenge!

But the next second, Alulu slowly smoothed his fluffy beard: "Just yesterday, I had a conversation with Helding who joined the Straw Hat Pirates."

"The Straw Hat Pirates actually have no intention of directly attacking Elbaf."

Eh! ?

The giants were stunned.

So, Elder Alulu, you can be so calm because you have already talked to the Straw Hat Pirates in advance! ?

For some reason, at this moment, the giants actually felt betrayed.

But the next second, they put this insignificant emotion behind them and looked at Alulu eagerly.

Betrayal or not, now is not the time to discuss this...

"Elder Alulu, what did Helding say!?"

A giant with a black eye patch asked in the crowd.

His name is Redding. He was Helding's instructor in his childhood. He also had high expectations and support for Helding's dream of restoring the glory of the Giant Pirates.

"Helding said..."

Alulu spoke slowly, but soon he seemed to have Alzheimer's disease, and his body suddenly stopped as if it was suspended.

The giants were not surprised by this.

After all, he was a 345-year-old warrior, and his head was stabbed by Loki. It was normal for him to have some signs of dementia.

Sure enough, after a while, Alulu came back to his senses as if he had suddenly been awakened.

"Helding said that they are currently looking for a solution, but the Straw Hat Pirates do have the intention of making the Elbaf warriors surrender and obey their orders."

"So... war is inevitable!"

"What!?"

Alulu's words shocked the giants again.

But since Elder Alulu said that war is inevitable, their choice is simple.

The worst result is nothing more than death.

Although the warriors of Elbaf have a legitimate fear of death, they will not avoid the arrival of necessary death.

For the glory of Elbaf, they would rather die standing than live on their knees.

But they did not expect that Helding, the son of the King of Elbaf, would choose to join the Straw Hat Pirates and become a member of their team.

Thinking of this, Reding looked forward again in confusion: "Elder Arulu, did Helding really say that? Did he say anything else!?"

"And..."

"I remember that Donli and Broki said that they had a good relationship with the Straw Hat Pirates!? Could it be that the Straw Hat Pirates really don't care about their friendship at all!?"

Redding looked at Donli and Broki standing on both sides of Alulu.

As the captains of the Giant Pirates who have been missing for a whole century, their stories are also known to many young giants since childhood.

Not long ago, the two were interrupted in the battle because of their weapons. With the persuasion of the Giant Pirates members Cassie and Oimo, the two finally decided to return to Elbaf and make completely new weapons before the duel.

When hearing Redding's question, Donli and Broki instantly laughed with their own characteristics and very hearty.

"Hehehehe..." "Ga Ba Ba Ba..."

"What a pity!"

"On the road to pursuing dreams and goals, even friends with deep friendship will not make any concessions!"

"This is what a warrior should do!"

At this time, a big wave female giant who came from nowhere also walked to Alulu's side with enchanting steps and shook her head gently at the giants.

"There is no way. After all, the world today has shown a multi-polar situation."

"Elbaf, who has a large number of giant warriors but has never chosen a side, is already unique on the world stage and is extremely conspicuous!"

"Whether it is for Elbaf's existing strength or the potential shown by the giants, no one can resist the temptation of a group of powerful giant warriors!"

The female giant raised her head, revealing a pair of eyes full of wisdom, which was in sharp contrast to her scattered clothes that only covered the effective parts.

This person was Lipri, one of the founders of the Walrus Academy and the teacher who was responsible for teaching the little giants biological knowledge.

At the same time, she was also one of the important figures who made the barbaric and fierce Elbaf gradually develop towards the direction of the land of wisdom.

In fact, the Straw Hat Pirates were not even the first to act.

Recently, some strange figures often appeared in the underworld connected to Elbaf and the sea.

After some investigation, Lipri discovered that they were members of the World Government CP Organization, who were sent by the World Government to connect with Elbaf and wanted to bring Elbaf under the World Government.

But the strength of those guys was too ordinary. Many of them were hunted down by the giant creatures of the underworld before they even reached the depths of the underworld.

There was no way.

Under the continuous suppression of the Straw Hat Pirates, only one in ten reliable people in the World Government remained.

Even these members of the CP Organization were not very skilled but were bold. For the big cake promised by their superiors, they resolutely embarked on the road of persuading Elbaf.

After hearing Lipri's explanation, the pirates fell silent again.

Elbaf, a dignified organization, had to seek survival in the cracks of other organizations, and even had to rely on others in order to survive? !

A sad atmosphere instantly filled the entire West Village Square.

Seeing this scene, Lipri also exhaled lightly.

The glory of Elbaf, that was more than a hundred years ago, right?

The pirate group formed by Donli and Broki at that time was indeed invincible on the sea.

But that was because there were not so many pirates on the sea at that time, let alone so many strong people.

It was not until the appearance and death of Roger that the great pirate era came.

In just over twenty years, the sea seemed to have completely changed its appearance, and the strength of the pirates was getting stronger and stronger.

Even the former Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin, who was easily defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, was able to kill the glory of the giants and the former captain of the Giant Soldier Pirates, Yorulu, when she was furious at the age of 5.

It can be said that the sea today is no longer the sea that the giants know.

That's why they want to establish the Walrus Academy to make more giants aware of the situation in the outside world.

The current giants, let alone dominating one side, even being able to take care of themselves has become a difficult thing.

Halding, who has the blood of King Elbaf, is just a barely passable pirate on the sea.

But then, Alulu spoke again:

"Oh, right!"

"Although war is inevitable, Hailding said that the Straw Hat Pirates are willing to subdue Elbaf in a more gentle way in order not to hurt the friendship between the giants and them."

Listen~ What a niche word! ?

Subduing Elbaf is actually combined with the word gentle! ?

At this moment, the warriors didn't know whether they were crazy, or Elder Alulu was crazy, or Hailding and the Straw Hat Pirates were crazy...

In short, someone must be crazy, otherwise how could he say such words so naturally.

"What is the way?" Redding acted as a mouthpiece for the giants and asked actively.

And Arulu Chenmu's eyes also flashed for a moment, and he slowly said:

"Fight!!!"

"Helding said that we can set up any number of arenas in Elbaf."

"Then the strong men under the Straw Hat Pirates will attack the arenas one by one and defeat the giants defending the arenas."

"If within a week, all the arenas are filled with people from the Straw Hat Pirates..."

"Then Elbaf will announce to the public that it will join the Straw Hat Pirates and become a sharp blade in the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"If at the end of the game, any of the arenas is guarded by a giant, then the Straw Hat Pirates will recognize the independence of Elbaf and protect Elbaf from the harm of the World Government."

"What!? This is too much of an underestimation of our Elbaf warriors!?"

"That's right! We are allowed to set up any number of arenas!? If each of us becomes the ring master of a arena, how will the Straw Hat Pirates deal with it!?"

"Don't be silly! Didn't you read the newspaper? The Straw Hat Pirates are going to broadcast this event live in all directions and without blind spots. Do you want the whole world to... The world saw you being defeated by tiny humans and left behind impact data! ? "

"That's right, even if the Straw Hat Pirates let us set any number, as warriors of Elbaf, we can't do such shameless things! "

"Since we are going to fight in the ring, we naturally have to select the strongest warrior of Elbaf to defend the ring! "

"…………"

"…………"

For some reason, the giants who were originally worried about going to war with the Straw Hat Pirates, after hearing the rules set by the Straw Hat Pirates, no one objected, and all tacitly agreed to the rule of fighting and defending the ring, which naturally also tacitly agreed to the bet of recognizing the rule of the Straw Hat Pirates in the future.

Mr. Zhou is right.

In a dark house, if you want to open a window, others will not agree, but if you say you want to chisel open the roof, then others will agree to open the window.

Compared with the tragic event of going to war with the Straw Hat Pirates directly, which is full of risks and sacrifices and has little chance of winning in the end, it is obviously easier for them to accept the final ownership of Elbaf by directly fighting with the Straw Hat Pirates in a peaceful way.

Among those present, only Lipri, who knows a little about psychology, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh that the Straw Hat Pirates are very clever.

The rules of the bet have an absolute advantage for the Elbaf side, and the way of fighting can also show the strength of both sides at the same time, giving Elbaf enough respect...

The other party has shown enough sincerity, and as the glorious Elbaf warriors, they don't seem to have any reason to reject the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, in the next few days, it can be foreseen that the entire Elbaf will quarrel over the list of defenders.

"Oh, right."

At this time, Elder Arulu spoke again:

"Because Helding and the others are also members of Elbaf, so although they are under the command of the Straw Hats, they will all become members of the Elbaf defending team as Elbaf warriors."

"Hmph, Helding? He still has a conscience." Hearing this, Redding's mouth slightly raised, and it was unclear whether he was happy about Helding's behavior or looking forward to meeting his students again.

But Elder Arulu said a piece of news that silenced everyone present.

"In order to see the full power of Elbaf, the other party specifically requested that Loki must be a member of the defending giant to ensure that Elbaf can show enough strength and potential."
