Half a month later.
Elbaf.
Today’s Ghost Hand Pirates can go wherever they want to go except for the Marine Headquarters and Holy Land Mariejois.
Even if the World Government is always watching and sends out a force with high mobility and fast action after them, they wouldn’t be able to do anything because the cost of encircling an Emperor Pirate in the sea is too great.
“We’re back, Elbaf, it’s been a while.”
Gerd stood on the deck and looked far ahead at Elbaf.
Ross, who was sitting on her shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said, “I thought you said it was more than ten years since you left Elbaf.”
“Yeah, it’s been a little bit longer.”
Gerd smiled. The life of a giant is several times that of human beings. A duel between two giants can last for a hundred years. The life of a Giant is very dull in terms of time. A few years seem like a short time to them.
It had been only two or three years since they had followed Ross, a time that would have been like a nap for giants like Gerd and Hajrudin and in that short amount of time, they had become world-renowned giants.
Once again, the giants were given a new voice and they became the glory of Elbaf.
“Look, they are back!”
On the shore of Elbaf, many giants are waiting here. They have been waiting since they learned that Hajrudin and others are coming back and are here for almost half a month.
“Ohh, Its Hajrudin!”
The giant people who sat there all stood up, including some giant children who were not very tall. Naturally, they were much taller than normal adults.
The youngsters of the giant clan are all cheering and jumping up. In this past year, they have heard about the news of Giant Regiment one after another and they looked towards them with a trace of worship in their eyes.
“Are you Arnon? You have grown up a lot.”
Hajrudin stepped out of the ship and watched as a group of teenagers rush in and he touched one of their heads with a smile on his face.
The life of the giants is long, ten years is only equivalent to three or four years of human life for them, these young giants are actually 20 or 30 years old, but they are still in early adulthood.
In addition to Hajrudin.
Road and others have also been welcomed by the entire population of Elbaf. For a long time, the entire shore was extremely lively, with numerous giants grinning happily.
“This is really the feeling of the past. When it comes to Blue Ogre and Red Ogre, they haven’t come back for a hundred years. Their duel is taking a bit too long.”
Someone grinned and mentioned the Two Captains of the Giant Warrier Pirates.
It was then that one of the giants asked Gerd about Ross, who was sitting on her shoulders.
“Who is that? Is it human?”
Since the BIGMOM incident decades ago, Elbaf has not seen any humans visitors anymore. Looking at the small form of Ross, these giants are very curious.
“This is our Captain, Ghost Hand Ross,” Gerd said, her eyes smiling and her voice slightly respectful.
“He is Ross Sama?!”
Standing next to the giant teenager, Arnon stares a bit towards him.
The story of Hajrudin and the Giant Pirates has been spread in Elbaf, where the Ghost Hand Pirates affair is also mixed. Almost all the giants know that Hajrudin is currently under the flag of the Ghost Hand Pirates and the name of Ross is no stranger to them.
But……
Arnon stares at Ross and shows a little disbelief. He doesn’t look like the legendary strong man. He’s a little too skinny.
Not to mention that compared with the adults, even if he is to be compared, he is a little short and it looks like his little slender arms and legs can be broken by a slight twist.
“Ghost Hand Ross…?”
Some giants nearby also discovered Ross, and they showed a lot of different expressions.
For Ross, the Fifth Emperor of the New World and the one who Hajrudin is currently working for, they are naturally clear about him.
Their idea of Ross is that he is incredibly terrifying, but the current image is somewhat hilarious.
It’s like normal people often hear about the terrifying existence in the sea, but suddenly one day they see him and find that he is a Dwarves race only the size of a palm.
That’s the same kind of funny feeling.
“Is it wrong?”
Someone whispered.
Nearby a person is also shocked and said while being a little unconvinced: “this… It’s not quite what we thought it would be.”
They haven’t seen Kaido and Whitebeard, but BIGMOM lived here for a while, and the body of BIGMOM is not much different from the size of the Giant.
Does such a thin and small body really have the amazing power in the rumor?
“I am very sorry, Captain Ross.”
Gerd saw the faces of the giants and looked at Ross apologetically.
Ross didn’t mind and said with a smile: “It’s All right.”
If he saw someone from Dwarves Race, known as the world’s strongest power, he will also have the same doubt and funny feeling.
“Ward!”
Just when everyone was suspicious, Hajrudin shouted at the one who was whispering and said: “Captain’s strength is ten times stronger than mine. If you doubt Captain’s power, then come and fight me first!”
The Giants have always been straight and simple, just like Dwarves Race and the Giants have almost no concept of lying.
When they heard Hajrudin, many giants were a little surprised. They didn’t expect Hajrudin to think that his strength was ten times weaker than Ross. They wouldn’t doubt Hajrudin’s words, but the results were a little too unbelievable.
“Are you telling the truth? Hajrudin… “
The Giant named Ward pushed his way out of the crowd and tilting his head to look at Ross and then back to Hajrudin, he is a giant of Hajrudin’s age, who had fought and contended with Hajrudin from childhood, and who had stayed in Elbaff when Hajrudin went to the sea.
As for Hajrudin’s fame in the outside world, there was no such emotion as jealousy. While he was happy for Hajrudin, his heart was also a little emotional.
His last fight with Hajrudin was already more than ten years ago.
“Don’t you believe it?
Hajrudin stared at Ward without a smile and raised his chin slightly. “Do you still want me to teach you again?”
Ward grinned. “You’ve always lost more, Hajrudin,” he said. “In the last ten years or so, you’ve grown stronger.”
As he said this, he went to Hajrudin, intending to compete with him.
Many giants on the side saw this and retreated to both sides. They also wanted to see how much stronger Hajrudin, who had made a big name outside, has gotten.
