Chapter 338: Giant God Soldiers Commander - Saul!
On the Deck of Noah's Ark, a pair of golden Ripple Eyes coldly watched the five Giants conversing below, especially Dorry and Brogy.
"As expected of the two Captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates. Their Aura is significantly stronger than Saul's was before."
It's important to note that Saul was a Vice Admiral who had undergone many years of Training at Marine Headquarters. Although he was beaten by Aokiji, who was also a Vice Admiral, in the manga, his Strength was much greater than most of the Giant Race.
Not only was he proficient in the Techniques of Six Powers and skilled in unarmed Boxing Combat, but he had also immersed himself in Armament Haki for decades and had a basic understanding of Observation Haki.
Unfortunately, his Aptitude was limited, meaning his inner Will wasn't strong enough, resulting in the quality of his Armament Haki being only at the level of an average Vice Admiral.
This was a problem for most of the Giant Race.
However, the Haki Aura of the 'Blue Ogre' Dorry and the 'Red Ogre' Brogy clearly surpassed the level of an average Vice Admiral.
Not to mention, these two also had a combination Technique called 'Hakoku', whose Power was comparable to Charlotte Linlin's solo Special Move, 'Elbaf Spear: Ikoku'.
This was actually very Strong. Below Admiral Level Combat Power, it was likely that few people could withstand 'Hakoku'.
Oh, right.
Excluding Barrier-Barrier Fruit Ability Users.
This Situation made Im once again feel that the manga Content could only be used as a Reference and not fully believed.
In the manga, Galdino, also known as Mr. 3 of Baroque Works, could easily defeat Dorry and Brogy. It was simply outrageous!
If these two great Giant Captains were that weak, there wouldn't have been a Giant Warrior Pirates eighty years ago.
"But the current Saul has been Enhanced by me..."
Im's idea was simple: the Commander of the Giant God Soldiers could only be Saul, who originated from the Marines, just as the Future Fleet Admiral of the Army Headquarters could only be Sakazuki, not Bullet or Crocodile.
This principle goes without saying; those who understand will understand, and those who don't, well, never mind~
Below.
In Little Garden, Dorry and Brogy felt a noticeable sense of threat as Saul walked towards them. However, in their opinion, as long as they teamed up, there would be no problem.
"Mr. Dorry, Mr. Brogy, besides bringing Kashi and Oimo to see you this time, I also want to invite you two to join the Giant God Soldiers and protect Lord Saint Nerona together!"
Saul understood the Communication Style among Giants, which was to avoid beating around the bush as much as possible. Getting straight to the point was the most comfortable way for the other party.
Dorry sneered, "You want us to be Guards for a Celestial Dragon?"
Brogy snorted, "No way!"
Although they hadn't seen the Celestial Dragons' behavior with their own eyes, they had heard many rumors and knew they weren't good people.
Saul wasn't surprised by their refusal and smiled, "Lord Saint Nerona is no ordinary Celestial Dragon. This Lord's demeanor and Strength are extraordinary. You'll understand once you meet them later."
"Before that, how about we have a Combat? I believe that for us Giant Race, using Combat for Communication is the fastest way to Familiarize ourselves with each other."
Dorry and Brogy exchanged glances, both seeing the ignited Fighting Intent in the other's eyes.
"Ga ga ga!"
Dorry threw his head back and laughed loudly, looking at Saul with high spirits. "Alright then, I also want to see the Strength of you, the 'Giant God Soldiers' Commander!"
"Indeed, we should fight first and then talk!"
Brogy also agreed wholeheartedly, eagerly gripping the axe handle in his Right Hand and saying, "I'll go first!"
"No, I'll go first!"
Dorry immediately rejected the other's suggestion and shouted, "Of course I'll go first!"
"I'm three days older than you, I'm the elder brother!" Brogy glared back in dissatisfaction, but Dorry also widened his eyes and angrily said, "I'm 1.3 meters taller than you, so I'm a bit Stronger than you!"
"Nonsense, when have you ever beaten me?"
"Well, you haven't beaten me either!"
Just as the two Captains started arguing, Saul helplessly said, "You two can decide the order with rock-paper-scissors."
"Good idea!"
This suggestion was approved by the four Giants: Dorry, Brogy, Kashi, and Oimo.
However, ten minutes later, they still hadn't decided the winner. They had played rock-paper-scissors dozens of times, and each time they made the exact same hand gesture. This made Saul wonder if these two were messing with him?
"Damn it, if you just threw rock and I threw paper, we'd have a winner!" Dorry also became impatient and spat towards Brogy opposite him.
Brogy also shouted in dissatisfaction, "Don't be ridiculous, then you'd just win!"
"Alright, alright, how about you two play rock-paper-scissors against me? Whoever wins first will fight me first!" Saul pondered for a moment and came up with this idea.
Sure enough, the problem was solved. Brogy won by throwing paper against Saul's rock, but Dorry's rock tied with Saul's rock.
As a result, Dorry could only turn his head away with a look of displeasure, then he and Kashi and Oimo vacated the Court and moved to a distance to watch the Combat.
"How is this Saul's Strength?"
Hearing the Captain's question, Kashi awkwardly said, "Brother Saul is very Strong. Before, Oimo and I couldn't beat him even together, and recently he became an Ability User, so he's even Stronger..."
"He's an Ability User!"
Dorry was very surprised, because few among the Giant Race were willing to eat Devil Fruit. They believed more in their Giant Strength and the Combat Techniques they had trained for years.
"Then what System of Ability User is he?"
Oimo quickly replied, "Animal System!"
"Animal System... This is troublesome."
Dorry sighed inwardly. These Giant Race members, due to their physical build, had a considerable Reserves of Armament Haki. So, if the opponent was a Paramecia System or Logia System, it would be easier to deal with them, even viewing their Abilities as flashy acrobatics.
But the Animal System was different. Animal System Devil Fruit would comprehensively enhance the already extremely strong Physical Ability of a Giant. After Awakening, they could even have nearly infinite Life Force.
Therefore, in Elbaf Kingdom, if a Giant wanted to become an Ability User, they would also look for an Animal System Devil Fruit.
On the other side.
Brogy didn't know this, but he firmly believed in the giant axe and round Shield in his hands, even if the opponent looked Stronger.
"You go first."
Saul first lowered his Golden Visor, which made his voice sound deeper and more imposing.
The next moment.
Brogy didn't waste any words. He stomped on the Ground beneath him, and his massive Body Size of twenty-one meters charged forward like a colossal primeval beast.
The giant axe in his hand was wrapped in visible Air Current, irresistibly cleaving down towards the Golden Giant before him.
The rumbling Earthquake sound, combined with the Loud Noise of the axe blade tearing through the Air, was like thunder exploding In the Court. And the moment Saul raised his Gauntlet, which glowed with black light, to meet the attack.
The head-on clash of Strength immediately produced a crashing sound like an iron hammer striking a bronze bell, echoing throughout the entire 'Little Garden' and the Noah's Ark above.
In an instant, a surging storm of Air Current swept across the entire Court. The surrounding Ground began to sink and shatter layer by layer, and the ancient Trees in the distance were even blown up from the Ground and danced wildly in the Air.
With a booming explosion, Brogy couldn't help but retreat, feeling a sharp pain in his hand and a heavy feeling in his chest.
But his eyes were wide with surprise as he stared at Saul, whose feet were firmly fixed in place like Nails, and who was surrounded by wisps of yellowish-brown Clouds and Mist.
[Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!]
This wasn't the end. As Saul stomped his foot hard, sharp Earth Spikes, four to five meters long, rose from the Ground in front of him and extended towards Brogy's Position at an extremely fast Speed...
"Didn't you say he was Animal System!"
Seeing this scene from a distance, Dorry immediately turned his head and roared at Kashi.
"Uh... He is indeed Animal System, but Brother Saul said it was some Form of the Animal System Human-Human Fruit Mythical Zoan?"
Kashi couldn't remember for a moment, as the Name was indeed a bit difficult to remember. Fortunately, Oimo beside him quickly added, "It's the Antaeus Form, which has the Ability to create things like Earth Spike and Earth Wall!"
