The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

huge,

Everything seems very huge in the city.

Rosie and Gion walked in this city called 'Oslo' like small animals walking in a normal human city.Just like the protagonist in "Gulliver's Travels", huge pillar-like thighs kept whizzing past.

All around were tall and rough buildings, and there were giant warriors wearing horned helmets, holding giant bucklers, and carrying axes and swords on their backs.

At the same time, there are also many humans in strange costumes, all of whom look like "strong men" at first glance.

"Well, it seems that Elbaf does not exclude people from overseas, provided that——"

Must be a master!

"Follow me and take you to the royal court."

In fact, there is no need for Taran to lead. Following the direction of the flow of people, where the strong auras gather, and at the end of the rock building, the giant bunker-like building with a height of [-] meters is undoubtedly the 'Royal Court' of the giants.

"So huge..."

When the three of them came to the 'Royal Court', even the well-informed Rossi and Gion couldn't help but look up at the giant palace in front of them.

What is the concept of one thousand meters high?

The tallest building in Rossi's previous life was said to be the 'Burj Khalifa' in Dubai, which was 828 meters high.

But it was a slender building like a long sword. Compared with the spacious temple in front of me, it was like a carrot and a rice cooker.

"Let's go,"

Rossi tilted his head towards Gion next to him and took the lead in stepping onto the three-meter-high 'stairs'.

In front of this super super giant building, ordinary people are as small as ants. Even the giants are just 'rats' under the building. Most people who see this building will be overwhelmed by the terrifying height. Shocking.

It's like a palace of gods!

But for Rossi, although this building is magnificent, but after seeing the 800-meter giant statue of Pika, it feels like it is just that.On the contrary, it was the unabashedly powerful aura inside that made him care even more.

Passing through the hundreds of steps in a leap, Rossi and Gion landed in front of the 'gate' that was several football fields wide. The gate was open——

No, it should be said that this temple-like building has no door at all. The huge space extends inside, and at the same time, heroic laughter can be heard.

"Hehehe, this is a little bit of our Charlotte family's wishes, please don't refuse."

"Hahaha, then I will accept it!"

In the terrifyingly wide hall, there was a huge throne, and sitting on the throne was a tall and burly man.

He wears an eagle helmet and golden armor, with muscle outlines like statues, and a bright red shirt behind him like blood. Next to him is a spear twisted like a branch, and his long beard drags to his chest. He has a typical giant appearance:

Rough, heroic, and powerful.

Facing the large amount of precious wine presented to him by the tall and thin man in front of him, the Giant King happily extended his hand to signal.

"Sit down somewhere, Charlotte's Perospero."

"Thank you,"

Seeing that the Giant King was in a good mood, Perospero also stepped back with a smile on his face and licked the lollipop cane in his hand.

In order to ease the relationship with the giants, the Charlotte family has persisted in 'licking' the giants for so many years, finally allowing the relationship between the two parties to come out of the shadows of decades ago.

My mother must also be very happy——? !

"Isn't this Rocinante from the Don Quixote family? The person next to you is..."

Perospero, who stepped back from the throne, saw the three Rossi people entering the giant hall, and his eyes flashed.

He naturally knew Taran. Although he was only a half-giant, the Charlotte family also made a special effort to make friends with him. Rossi also knew very well that he had a conflict with the Charlotte family on Beehive Island some time ago and finally reached a truce agreement.

As for the girl wearing a navy coat, Perospero recognized her as soon as his mind turned around:

"Commodore Gion, are you also here to attend Prince Loki's coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Hehehe, alone?"

Faced with Perospero's malicious gaze, Rossi glanced at the 'long-tongued' man.

"Okay, do you Charlotte family dare to start a war in the Giant King's Court? Besides-"

Can you beat Gion?

Wait, Charlotte Perospero is in her 30s at this time, at her peak, so Gion may not be able to defeat him for sure.

Seeing Perospero's long tongue, Rossi thought of another man with a long tongue: Vegapunk.There are rumors in the sea that Lao Bei also had an affair with Auntie in order to raise research funds... Of course, these are just rumors.

"What about me? Rocinante."

The white-haired girl next to Perospero took a few steps forward, holding the ultra-long sword in her hand with a confident look on her face.

"The paddler...ahem, it's Smoothie."

Seeing several Charlotte children surrounding them, Rosie took a step forward.

"Brigadier General Gion came with me. If you dare to take action, don't blame me for being rude."

"——Give me some respect and don't make trouble here."

"Hehehehe, we must give him the face of the two kings of the Don Quixote family."

Perospero, who had a slender figure, a pointed face and heavy makeup, was wearing a long coat with a light yellow coat and a candy cane, stretched out his hand to stop his younger siblings behind him.

As he turned around to leave, the first son of the Charlotte family gave Rossi a meaningful look.

"Mr. Rocinante, you have to think carefully about who is your friend and who is your enemy: don't forget the promise you made with your mother."

···

"What agreement?"

After everyone in the Charlotte family left, Gion asked curiously, but he immediately reacted.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have pried."

Although the Don Quixote family neither robbed nor killed indiscriminately, their identity was always in a 'grey' realm.Given the complex relationship between the Don Quixote family and the World Government, it is normal to be classified as a 'pirate' anytime.

World Government: I said you are a pirate, you are a pirate!

Therefore, it is very normal for Rossi and others to have contact with the Charlotte family.

As a well-established marine, it was very taboo for Gion to rashly inquire about the agreement between the two legendary forces. If Rossi hadn't known her since childhood, he wouldn't have blurted it out subconsciously.

"nothing,"

"The Charlotte family is planning to marry our family."

With Charlotte Lingling's character, she has always liked to use 'marriage' to expand her power: many of the subordinate pirate groups in Charlotte's pirate group are 'son-in-laws' who married her daughter.

But with the power of the Don Quixote family, even if there is a true marriage, it will only be mutually beneficial at best.Of course, the horoscope has not been written yet.

"Marriage,"

Gion's strange eyes fell on Rossi, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head.

With Rossi’s strength, who in the Charlotte family is worthy of him, that aunt Charlotte Lingling?Impossible, it would be enough to stage a deadly fight between two families on the spot.

That's other people,

Just as Gion breathed a sigh of relief, on the other side:

"Hehehe, you are worthy of Katakuri's praise for the man who hurt your mother."

Licking the lollipop in his hand, Perospero glanced at Rosie from the corner of his eye, who had found a random seat with Gion to sit down.

"How's it going, Smoothie?"

"Are you confident you can take him down?"

"It's too early to say this now,"

The white-haired girl Smoothie couldn't help but sigh. Although in the Charlotte family, the marriage of children was decided by their mother. In addition to the "eldest brother is like father" feeling, most of the younger siblings were raised by Perospero.But this is related to my future:

"I've only met that man twice in total. Besides..."

Is Rocinante such an easy person to 'control'?

"As long as you use your fruit ability properly——"

"Brother Perospero!"

Facing the angry Smoothie, Perospero stopped joking and became serious.

"Okay, no kidding."

"If mother is really planning to marry the Don Quixote family, the target must be the two kings. And Doflamingo already has a lover, so Rosinande is the only choice."

"The most powerful woman in our family is you."

If you send a weak daughter into marriage, you can't even protect your family status, so why rely on the other party's strength?

"I understand, Brother Perospero."

Smoothie, a girl with long white wavy hair, nodded. She was the most talented and hard-working among the women in the family. Although she was only 15 years old, she was already far ahead of her sisters.

If someone has to stand up for the family, it can only be her!

"Don't worry, I don't hate that Rocinante."

In fact, so what if I hate it?

As long as his mother gives the order, unless Smoothie has the courage to wander the sea alone, he can only obey the order.

----

In the hall, there are many not-so-huge seats.

Rossi and Gion found a seat and sat down. Gion pointed at a man.

"Look, that's the shipping tycoon 'Deep Current' Umit, and his crew."

Although Rossi is 'well-informed', most of his stories are based on comics from his previous life.And this world is not limited to the characters that appear in comics, nor are they all weak except the 'Four Emperors', 'Three Generals', and 'Shichibukai'.

Otherwise, the Navy would not have recruited two generals in a world-wide conscription.

So it was Gion who introduced him to the 'special people' among the guests.

The man called 'Deep Current' Umit is a man with a huge anchor drawn on his captain's hat, a large beard covering half of his face, and wearing a captain's coat.

He looked like a weather-beaten captain, but he was followed by several half-murlocs, all of whom were very impressive.

"Rosie, do you know about the special current in the sea called 'White Dragon'?"

"Um,"

Rossi nodded. Rossi and the others had seen the 'White Dragon' once before when they passed through Fish-Man Island, and they directly arrived at the sea near Dressrosa through it.

The so-called 'white dragon' is a large hollow whirlpool located on the seabed, which is a disaster that ordinary ships cannot avoid.

"But Umit has a large number of half-murlocs in his hands, and with his family's special ships, he can use the 'White Dragon' to quickly travel from the bottom of the sea to all parts of the new world."

In this way, it can avoid pirates and sea beasts, and transport goods at high speed. This is the unique business of 'Deep Sea Current' Umit.

If it weren't for the difficulty of manufacturing special ships, and the possibility of hitting an island whale in the deep-sea whirlpool 'White Dragon', Umit might have monopolized shipping in the entire New World.

Even so, this man relied on this secret skill to become a big boss.

"That's Pietro 'The Mortician'."

Gion pointed at a man wearing a clown mask, overalls with a lot of pockets, and holding a scythe.Behind him were a group of gloomy people wearing crow masks and black robes.

"Although they are 'morticians' who bury the dead, if the price is right, they don't mind turning a living person into death first, and then charge a 'funeral fee'."

To put it simply, they are a group of guys who specialize in collecting corpses and making corpses at the same time.

Those who can sit in this hall are either the elites of the giant race or representatives of the powerful forces on the sea.As people continued to arrive, they presented gifts one after another, and the Giant King smiled and accepted them all.

Time passed by, and finally no one came, and the king of the giants also stood up.

"Bring it!"

As he stretched out his hand, two giants immediately stepped forward carrying a... log as thick as a building.

The strength of a giant requires two people, which shows that the density of this log is very high!

Snapped,

Reaching out to take the huge log, Giant King 'Fabuti' weighed it in his hands.It made many people who came to the Giant King's Court for the first time subconsciously tighten their muscles.

Such a huge log with such mass is no less strong than steel. If the opponent comes across with a stick...

There must be a lot of casualties!

"drink!"

As the Giant King roared, he raised the giant tree in his hand, and there was a loud roar.

However, the giant tree was not used to attack the guest. Rossi, who had already seen the opponent's next move, raised his eyebrows and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on his face.

because:

As the Giant King grabbed the two sections of the log with both hands and pressed it suddenly, the dark domineering force instantly kneaded the steel-like log into plasticine and rapidly collapsed towards the middle!

At the same time, the mass of the log is restrained by the outward armed domineering force and cannot explode outwards. It can only be compressed, compressed, and compressed again in the dark lightning, as if the entire world is violently collapsing with the log as its core.

? ? ? ?

In the horrified eyes of many people who came here for the first time, the huge log was compressed into the palm of the giant king. The dark lightning crackled and the log turned red, like smelting steel.

Snapped,

As the giant king's hands finally closed together, the terrifying high temperature baked the air into fluctuations like a mirage. The guests in the entire hall felt violently dry, as if they were standing next to a steel forge.

Even his clothes and hair began to burn out of thin air, and this was just the aftermath of the Giant King's 'putting his hands together' action.

Is it...

"Please look,"

As the Giant King spread his hands, in his palm as huge as a house was a crystal-clear solid substance the size of a millstone.Shine solid light.

"diamond?!"

Wumit, nicknamed 'Deep Current', stood up suddenly. Seeing the giant king preparing to 'take action' did not frighten him, but the object in his palm made him scream in horror.

As a giant in New World shipping, what treasures has he not seen?

Diamonds are often contacted: the hardness of diamonds is second only to seastone. If it were not for the scarcity of diamonds, they would not be used as decorations for rings, but for making armors and weapons.

Well, a certain 'overlord of the East China Sea' in the future will have a pair of diamond-encrusted gloves, claiming to be indestructible.

Such a large diamond, a rare treasure!

"I have no other abilities, just a handful of strength."

The Giant King laughed loudly and threw the huge diamond in his hand, hitting it with a clang on the floor of the hall, attracting everyone's attention. Even Gion's eyes shone, making Rossi look sideways.

Sure enough, women, like dragons, like such shiny things.

"This kind of thing is of little use to us giants, but it should be of some value to you people outside the sea."

The Giant King clapped his hands after performing a performance of "Pinching Diamonds with His Hands".

"Since it's a celebration, of course there must be prizes."

"The diamond made by me, just think of it as the glory of the champion of the 'Fighting Festival'."
