Chapter 105 Merely, Humans
[Kingdom of Voland, West Village Port, Night]
"You've heard, haven't you? Captains Dorry and Brogy went to pick up that human pirate crew during the day!"
"Hmm, I'm really curious. Do those humans really possess the power to defeat them?"
"But they're so small and look so cute. We giants could easily crush them with one stomp, right?"
"Goltz! Although humans are small, there are some very powerful individuals among them. Never underestimate them!"
The giants gathered near the port, peering out into the distance.
"It's here! The Rainbow Bridge is rising!!"
"Oh my god!! Is this finally happening? The human powerhouse who defeated Captains Dorry and Brogy, I, Beelzebub, will see if they can withstand a single punch from me!"
As the fog boat sailed in from afar, the figures sitting on it went from blurry to clear.
Two somewhat dilapidated boats, some "little ones," and "
"Hey!! That's Loki, right!?"
Why was the cursed prince on that fog-shrouded ship?
"Damn it, he must have used his evil eyes to bewitch Dorry and the others! Get out, Loki!!"
"You monster who cursed your mother to death, Nishimura does not welcome you!"
Listening to the commotion coming from the shore from the fog-shrouded boat, Bazel picked at his ear.
Are they welcoming us?
Loki, sitting on the ground, shrugged: "I bet you, Brother Bazel, they're definitely telling me to get out."
Dorry and Brogy sighed helplessly, but did not refute it.
"Well, maybe they're welcoming us too~"
Hanafza approached Loki with a grin and squeezed the giant's thick body with both hands.
"You're really big, Loki! You're taller and bigger than Dorry and the others! And your muscles are much more developed!"
"I am a giant who has awakened the bloodline of the ancient giants."
Loki picked up Hanafza and placed it on his lap.
"In ancient times, the ancient giants once ruled the seas of the New World. If it weren't for that red fire serpent, the giants would have even extended the war to Paradise."
"The Crimson Serpent?" Hanafza tilted his head in confusion, then it took him a moment to realize, "Ah! You mean the Red Line?"
"They're the same, just called different things. The one I heard is the Crimson Fire Serpent."
Loki gazed into the depths of the mortal realm, where a solitary castle stood tall.
"Harald once said that the horns, which symbolize the ancient giants, would remind mankind of that era of war, so he cut off his own horns."
"ridiculous!"
"War is the main theme of this world: war between people, war between the navy and pirates, war between sea kings."
"War is happening all the time; he's too weak!"
"No, Loki, your father is right."
At this moment, Bazel suddenly spoke up.
"But not entirely correct."
"He's worried not only about the present, but also about the future."
"If the next generation of giants cannot produce a strongman like Harald, the giants will definitely be invaded by the outside world, and perhaps in a few hundred years, they will become a gray area similar to Fishman Island."
"I guess Harald's intention, besides leaving more options for Elbaf in the future, is also to accelerate the evolution of the giant civilization through exchanges with other kingdoms."
"Trade, diplomacy, war—these are all indispensable, but there is one prerequisite: that Harald remains alive."
"I," Loki had just said, "I will become the next Harald."
His foot was stopped by Bazel's raised hand.
"The reason we didn't consider you is because your situation is very special. Although you inherited his excellent physique, your reputation makes it difficult for you to inherit the throne."
"If it's your mother, I'm sorry, I'm not trying to belittle her, I'm just describing a future that doesn't exist."
Barzel first layered some armor on himself before continuing:
"Your mother described your birth as a vision of a chosen one among the giants, a phenomenon that occurs only once every thousand years. So your future is definitely not what it is now."
"Harald will do everything he can to train you, and your fellow giants will trust you implicitly, but that's all hypothetical."
Loki sighed, but wasn't particularly saddened.
"Let bygones be bygones. Even if we could do it all over again, I reckon she would still throw me into the underworld."
"She's too superstitious about that so-called 'earth wind magic'."
"As for the throne of the Giant King, I'll just leave it to my foolish brother, but hmm, that doesn't seem right either."
"The old folks in the clan believe that Haldin's bloodline is impure, and even his mother, Ida, cannot obtain the official title of queen."
"A bunch of outdated idiots!"
Hanafza sat down cross-legged and patted Loki's thigh.
"When you return in glory, you can simply seize the throne of the Giant King yourself."
"We humans don't live as long as you giants. Wait until we die, then you can come back and continue to fight for the throne."
......
During the conversation, the fog boat sailed into the port of the West Sea and docked near the shoal.
A constant hissing sound reached my ears.
"Let's go."
Bazel, who was the first to step off the ship, glared and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki!
The clamoring giants fell silent instantly, using all their strength to try to resist Bazel's increasingly powerful aura.
In our field of vision, the tiny human beings appear as towering mountains, only to be looked up to.
Listen carefully.
As they walked forward, Bazel's words were carried by the wind to the ears of all the giants.
"We are the Beasts Pirates, and Loki has become our partner."
"He is no longer the prince of your Elbaf. Anyone who dares to utter another word will have to lie down and talk to me."
"Damn it, this is Elbafshi Village!!"
In the middle of the crowd, a giant carrying a large axe and shield slowly rose up and glared fiercely at Bazel.
"Don't be so arrogant, you mere humans!!"
"Let me show you the power of Elbaf!!!"
The surrounding giants' expressions changed slightly when they saw their companion adopt the starting stance of the Elbaf Spear.
"Wait, Beelzebub! They are King Harald's guests. You can't just attack them!"
"That's right, Beelzebub, stop right now!"
"I don't care about any of that, this is provocation!!"
Beelzebub swung his axe with great force, and a beam of light rushed towards the Beasts Pirates.
Hanafza stopped Loki, who was about to strike with the Iron Mine in his hand.
"Watch closely, Bazel doesn't need your help. Our Beasts Pirates do want to establish contact with the Giants."
"But it's definitely not a subservient alliance; we need to fight to open the doors to an alliance."
"Only the strong have the right to engage in equal dialogue."
"But—." Loki looked conflicted as he gazed at the massive beam of light rushing towards him.
"Second gear."
His right arm transformed into a glazed, crimson gold, and with a powerful punch, the incoming light wave vanished in an instant.
Swipe!
When he reappeared, Bazel was already standing beside the giant's face, his limbs and body shrouded in flames.
"Merely a human? Then let me show you the power of a mere human."
Seriously use basic attacks!
The fist slammed out again.
The giant named Beelzebub felt the approaching force and his expression changed drastically. He tried to dodge, but it was too late.
thump~
As Beelzebub was blasted away by a punch, Bazel stood in the sky, his gaze meeting that of the giants.
"Anyone else who wants to make a move, step forward! I'm Bazel of the Beasts Pirates!"
"Whether you want a duel or a free-for-all, the Beasts Pirates are ready to fight!"
The sound of swords being drawn in unison rang out.
Looking at the excited little humans, the giants were at a loss.
They hadn't expected Bazel to be so strong; he sent Beelzebub flying with just one punch.
Just as the two groups were locked in a stalemate, an elderly giant pushed through the crowd and stepped out.
"Alright, stop fooling around."
"Elder Yaru!!" The giants quickly retreated to both sides.
"Wow, this guy is so tall~~~" Olga leaned on Jin's shoulder, shading her eyes with her hand.
"Jhin, this giant is as tall as a small mountain!"
Chi turned his head away with a look of disgust: "I saw it, don't yell in my ear."
"Guys of the Beasts Pirates, please refrain from causing trouble here. King Harald is still waiting for you."
"Nonsense?"
Hanafza transformed into a dragon-man form, making a cracking sound as he twisted his neck.
"Hey, hey, you must have misunderstood something. We're all ready for a full-scale battle!"
"Loki is our partner. We don't care what happened to him in the past, but if you dare to say anything more now, don't blame us for being impolite."
"Total War? Pfft~ tsk tsk tsk~~~"
Aruru burst into laughter:
"Humans actually declared war on the giants? Are they trying to make me laugh to death?"
"What? You don't think it's okay?"
Bazel unleashed his Conqueror's Haki once more, looking down at Aruru with undisguised fierce fighting spirit in his eyes.
"Aruru, do you think there are any other giants besides Harald who can stop me?"
Loki took a step forward, and his Conqueror's Haki burst forth from his body.
"And I, Loki, will wreak havoc, Brother Bazel!"
"Let us, my fellow countrymen who are like frogs in a well, witness the true power of the beasts!"
"Hahaha!!"
