On the way to Elbaf, Basire spent most of his time studying the latest version of the Devil Fruit Encyclopaedia compiled by Vegapunk.
"The sun god Nika is the god who brings joy to people. Only those with a pure heart can awaken the devil fruit."
"Possessing all kinds of outrageous and hilarious abilities, once the drum of liberation sounds, his energy will be boundless..."
Basire looked at the annotation written by Vegapunk and felt speechless for a while. Endless?
What an unreasonable cheat, right?
How did Joy Boy die eight hundred years ago then?
Could it be that Imu held tens of thousands of people hostage, and then he was played to death by Imu?
Kozuki Oden also wanted to pay homage to Joy Boy, and he was played with again, and the play was a plot symmetry?
The corners of Basire's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately threw down the book, turned around and dove into Nico Robin's arms.
It seems that the power of Sun God Nika's fruit is a cheat, so Basire must find a way to unlock a bigger cheat.
"Basire, I heard that the giants don't seem to welcome you. The fact that you recruited Charlotte Linlin, an enemy of the giants, has spread throughout Elbaf."
"Maybe they won't allow you to land on Elbaf, and we'll be attacked by the giants as soon as we get there."
Robin stroked Basire's hair with a smile on her face, and there was a hint of sinisterness in her voice.
"Didn't Dorry and Brogy return to Elbaf? I have a good relationship with them, and your relationship with Saul is not bad either."
"If these giants dare to find trouble, I will see how strong this giant prince is."
Basire said nonchalantly, although Elbaf is known as the strongest country in the world, so far, he has not heard of any strong giants at the level of the Four Emperors.
However, the Big Mom Pirates have never attacked the Giants, and even took the initiative to try to marry one of their family members to the Giants, which shows that Elbaf does have the strength and foundation to compete with the Big Mom Pirates.
Therefore, Elbaf's strength is still worthy of recognition.
At least the power of Dorry and Brogy's combined technique, Hakoku, has surpassed the power of that King's Fist.
If hundreds of giants could activate Elbaf martial arts such as Ikoku and Hakoku at once, then they would indeed be able to blast an invasion fleet at the level of the Four Emperors pirate group into smithereens.
Therefore, even if the Four Emperors' personal force is stronger than that of the Giant King, neither the Four Emperors nor the Kingdom of giants will do such a thing that would cause both sides to suffer.
"If Saul is willing to give away the books, I plan to rebuild Ohara, the island of scholars."
Robin said with a serious face. In addition to her dream of unraveling the history of the void century, she now also has a dream of rebuilding her hometown.
"Then build an island of scholars in the sky, just like Weatheria, which is like a holy place for meteorologists and navigators."
"One day, Ohara will once again become a true holy place for scholars, famous all over the world."
Basire put his arms around Robin's waist and said with a comfortable look on his face.
"Then don't forget it!"
Thinking of Saul, Robin showed a look of nostalgia. It was this giant who told her not to give up looking for friends that could protect her.
However, she did not meet any friends who could sacrifice their lives for each other. Instead, she met Basire, a man who could be trusted with her life.
···
The back part of the New World, the Kingdom of Giants, Elbaf.
The Oro Jackson docked at a secluded landing spot on the massive island.
In a giant bar in Elbaf, whether he was really happy or just wanted to take the opportunity to drink to numb himself, Shanks held up a large wine glass that was even bigger than himself and was drinking with a giant.
"Shanks, this isn't like you!"
The 22 meters tall Blue Ogre Dorry held up a 2-meter-plus wooden wine glass and shouted to Shanks, who was only 1.99 meters tall.
Now this red-haired kid's Haki seems a bit duller than before, and a little more sad and lonely.
This is not the red-haired Shanks they approve of!
"Drink, drink, we won't return until we get drunk!"
Shanks, whose face was a little flushed, held up a wine glass that was taller than himself and laughed to himself. He ignored Dorry's words of concern and continued to drink.
After drinking more giant wine than his own weight, Shanks's stomach did not change at all, as if his stomach had a dimensional pocket.
"Shanks, for such a big glass of wine, two glasses are enough!"
Benn Beckman lowered his head and chewed a cigarette. Wisps of white smoke floated up, and his eyes were hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see the sadness and anger on his face.
"Shanks, you are not even as good as Golden Lion Shiki!"
Spencer from the Roger Pirates slapped Shanks on the head and cursed.
Spencer can be regarded as an old man who watched Shanks grow up. When he saw his decadent look, he wanted to beat him up.
When Golden Lion Shiki fought with the Roger Pirates, a storm destroyed most of his fleet, and a rudder was stuck on his head, but it did not affect his Haki and ambition.
After Roger surrendered, Shiki dared to break into Naval Headquarters alone, destroying half of Marineford, and finally fell to the joint efforts of Sengoku and Garp.
"I'm sorry, senpai. I'll have another drink. I swear I won't do anything wrong, please."
Shanks felt that two large glasses were not enough. Three glasses should be enough to make him feel a little comfortable.
"Shanks, Basire is on his way here. For the sake of Lucky Roux, please wake up."
"Snake and Juice wouldn't want to see you become like this!"
Yasopp suddenly came over, grabbed Shanks by the collar, and said angrily.
The deaths of other Red Hair Pirates crew members also hit Beckman and Yasopp very hard, but they were not as depraved as Shanks, who often drank to drown their sorrows until he passed out.
They also have to take care of Shanks, their somewhat childish captain.
"Lucky Roux..."
Shanks was also silent for a moment, thinking of his fat chef. He soon smiled and his eyes became much firmer.
"After this drink, we're going to pick him up! I decided, we will go to sea again, we need to avenge our friends!"
Shanks once again drank a large glass of wine more than two meters high in one gulp, and his energy recovered a lot.
Onigumo! Akainu! Saint Nusjuro!
They will pay the price for the deaths of their friends!
The Red Hair Pirates will officially declare war on the World Government and Marines and begin their journey of revenge.
