Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 497 Fighting
"You bastards, where are you going to cause trouble again!?"

Just when all the giants in the Yangjie·Nishimura were gathering and making noise because of the behavior of the Straw Hat Pirates, a giant as big as a hill suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the crowd and asked the giants present in an old voice.

The man was dozens of meters tall. The giants who seemed huge to ordinary people were like children in front of him.

An old face, a fluffy beard as tall as a mountain, and a sharp sword piercing through the entire top of the head.

The person who came was the former captain of the Giant Pirates and also the most prestigious figure in Elbaf, who was 345 years old - Mountainbeard Alulu!
"Elder Yalulu!"

Seeing Yalulu's appearance, all the giants seemed to have found their backbone and turned their eyes to him.

Although the giants of Elbaf are a group of fearless warriors who yearn for freedom and adventure, the Straw Hat Pirates are now famous on the sea, and even as brave as they are, they have to be careful and vigilant.

Ever since Yorulu was accidentally killed by a 5-year-old woman, the only remaining elder of the Giant Tribe, Alulu, has become the leader of all the Elbaf warriors.

When faced with the inquiries from the giants, Yalulu immediately lowered his eyebrows and glanced at everyone, saying indignantly:
"What a bunch of cowards! Such a small thing scared you so much!?"

“Why are you so flustered? Where is the honor of an Elbaf warrior?!”

Yalulu, who was already full of majesty, now has a giant sword inserted on his head, making him majestic but also a little weird.

After hearing his condemnation, all the giants lowered their heads.

Because they had to admit that after learning that the Straw Hat Pirates were going to attack Elbaf, they were actually a little panicked in their hearts.

Although they believed that the great Elbaf warriors would not fear any powerful enemy and would wipe out all invaders...

But they are the Straw Hat Pirates after all! ?

Now the strongest pirate group on the ocean, with countless elite soldiers and generals under his command, he almost single-handedly defeated the World Government and forced it to disband on the spot.

Kaido and Big Mom, two of the Four Emperors, were easily defeated by him.

In today's world, they don't know who else can be a rival to the Straw Hat Pirates! ?

How could they not feel panicked when they learned that such a terrifying force was targeting them?

But with Yalulu's rebuke, the flame of fighting spirit was ignited in everyone's heart again.

Yup!

So what if it's the Straw Hat Pirates! ?

They are the warriors who carry the glory of Elbaf!

All of a sudden, all the giants' eyes became firm. They raised their heads one by one and looked at Yalulu with enthusiastic and firm eyes, as if responding to him...

They are not afraid of any challenge!
But the next second, Alulu slowly smoothed his fluffy beard and said, "Just yesterday, I spoke to Hailding who joined the Straw Hat Pirates."

"The Straw Hat Pirates actually have no plans to attack Elbaf directly."

Eh! ?

The giants were stunned.

So, Elder Alulu, are you so calm because you have already discussed this with the Straw Hat Pirates in advance?!

For some reason, the giants felt betrayed at this moment.

But the next second, they put these insignificant emotions behind them and looked at Yalulu eagerly.

Betrayal or not, now is not the time to discuss this...

"Elder Yalulu, what did Hailding say!?"

A giant with a black eye patch asked from the crowd.

His name is Redding. He was Heldin's instructor when he was a child. He is also full of expectations and support for Heldin's dream of restoring the glory of the Giant Pirates.

"Halding said..."

Yalulu opened his mouth slowly, but soon his body suddenly stopped as if he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

The giants are used to this.

After all, he is a 345-year-old warrior, and was stabbed in the head by Loki. It is normal for him to have some signs of dementia.

Sure enough, after a while, Yalulu came back to his senses as if he had suddenly regained consciousness.

"Halding said they are currently looking for a solution, but the Straw Hat Pirates do have the intention of making the Elbaf warriors surrender and obey their orders."

"So...war is inevitable!"

"What!?"

Yalulu's words shocked the giants again.

But since Elder Yalulu said that war is inevitable, their choice is simple.

The worst outcome is nothing more than death.

Although the warriors of Elbaf have a legitimate fear of death, they will not avoid the inevitable death.

For the glory of Elbaf, they would rather die standing than live on their knees.

But no one expected that Heldin, the son of King Elbaf, would choose to join the Straw Hat Pirates and become one of their members.

Thinking of this, Redding looked ahead again in confusion: "Elder Yalulu, did Hailding really say that? Did he say anything else!?"

"besides……"

"I remember that Tori and Broki said that they were on good terms with the Straw Hat Pirates!? Could it be that the Straw Hat Pirates really don't care about their friendship at all!?"

Redding looked at Donli and Broki standing on either side of Yalulu.

As the captain of the Giant Pirates who has been missing for a whole hundred years, their story is something that many young giants have heard since childhood.

Just a while ago, the two of them were interrupted in the battle because of their weapons, and with the persuasion of the Giant Pirates members Cassie and Oimo, the two finally decided to return to Elbaf and create completely new weapons before fighting again.

When they heard Redding's question, Donli and Brockie immediately burst into their own unique and hearty laughter.

“Hahahahaha…” “Ga ba ba ba ba…”

"What a shame!"

“When pursuing dreams and goals, even the closest friends will not give in!”

"This is what a warrior should do!"

At this time, a giant female wave who had arrived at some point also walked to Yalulu's side with enchanting steps and shook her head gently at the giants. "There is no other way. After all, the world today has become multi-polarized."

"Elbaf, which has a large number of giant warriors but has never chosen a side, is already unique on the world stage and stands out!"

"Whether it's for Elbaf's existing strength or the potential shown by the giants, no one can resist the temptation of a group of powerful giant warriors!"

The giantess raised her head, revealing a pair of eyes full of wisdom, which formed a sharp contrast with her sparse clothing that only covered the effective parts.

This person is none other than Teacher Lipri, one of the founders of the Walrus Academy, who is responsible for teaching the little giants biological knowledge.

He is also one of the important figures who allows Elbaf, which is full of barbarity and ferocity, to gradually develop towards the land of wisdom.

In fact, the Straw Hat Pirates were not even the first to act.

Recently, some strange figures often appear in the underworld connected to Elbaf and the sea.

After some investigation, Lipri was shocked to find that they were members of the World Government's CP organization, sent by the World Government to connect with Elbaf and want to bring Elbaf under the command of the World Government.

It’s just that the strength of those guys is too mediocre. Many of them didn’t even reach the depths of the underworld before they were hunted down and killed by the giant creatures of the underworld.

no way.

Under the continuous suppression by the Straw Hat Pirates, there is only one in ten reliable people left in the World Government.

Even these members of the CP organization were not very skilled but were very bold. In order to get the big promises from their superiors, they resolutely embarked on the path of persuading Elbaf.

After hearing Lipri's explanation, the pirates fell silent again.

Elbaf, a great organization, has actually fallen to the point where it has to survive in the cracks of other organizations, and even has to rely on others in order to survive? !
A sad atmosphere instantly filled the entire West Village Square.

Seeing this, Lipri also let out a sigh of relief.

The glory of Elbaf, that was more than a hundred years ago, right?
Back then, the pirate group formed by Donli and Broge was indeed invincible on the sea.

But that was because at that time, there were not so many pirates on the sea, let alone so many powerful people.

It was not until the appearance and death of Roger that the Great Pirate Era arrived.

In just over twenty years, the sea seemed to have completely changed, and the pirates became stronger and stronger.

Even the former Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin, who was easily defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, was able to kill Yoruru, the glory of the Giants and the former captain of the Giant Pirates, in a rage at the age of five.

It can be said that the sea today is no longer the sea that the giants knew.

That's why they founded the Walrus Academy to make more giants aware of the situation in the outside world.

For the giants today, it is difficult to even take care of themselves, let alone dominate an area.

Although Heldin has the blood of King Elbaf, he is just a mediocre pirate on the sea.

But then, Yalulu spoke again:
"Oh, right!"

"Although war is inevitable, Helding said that the Straw Hat Pirates are willing to conquer Elbaf in a gentler way in order not to harm the friendship between the Titans and them."

Listen~ What a niche word! ?
Conquering Elbaf is actually associated with the word gentle! ?

At this moment, the soldiers didn't know whether they were crazy, or Elder Alulu was crazy, or whether Helding and the Straw Hat Pirates were crazy...

In short, one of them must be crazy, otherwise how could he say such things so casually.

"What method?" Redding acted as a mouthpiece for the giants and asked proactively.

And Yalulu Chenmu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he slowly said:
"Fight!!!"

"Halding said we can set up as many arenas as we want in Elbaf."

"Then the strong men under the Straw Hat Pirates will attack the ring one by one and defeat the giants defending the ring."

"If within a week, all the arenas were filled with members of the Straw Hat Pirates..."

"Then Elbaf will announce to the public that he has joined the Straw Hat Pirates and will become a sharp blade in the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"If at the end of the battle, any of the arenas is guarded by a giant, then the Straw Hat Pirates will recognize Elbaf's independence and will protect Elbaf from the harm of the World Government."

“What!? Are you underestimating our Elbaf warriors?!”

"That's right! We are allowed to set up any number of arenas!? If each of us becomes the master of one arena, how will the Straw Hat Pirates deal with it!?"

"Don't be silly! Didn't you read in the newspaper that the Straw Hat Pirates are going to broadcast this event live from all angles. Do you want the whole world to see you being defeated by tiny humans and leave behind damaging information?!"

"You're right. Even if the Straw Hat Pirates let us set any number, as warriors of Elbaf we can't do such a shameless thing!"

"Since we are going to fight in a ring, we naturally have to select the strongest warrior in Elbaf to defend the ring!"

"........."

"........."

For some reason, the giants who were originally worried about going to war with the Straw Hat Pirates, after hearing the rules set by the Straw Hat Pirates, no one objected, and all of them agreed to the rule of fighting and defending the ring. Naturally, they also agreed to the bet of recognizing the rule of the Straw Hat Pirates in the future.

Mr. Zhou is right.

In a dark house, if you want to open a window, others will not agree. But if you say you want to chisel open the roof, then others will agree to let you open the window.

Compared to directly going to war with the Straw Hat Pirates, which is full of risks and sacrifices and has little chance of winning in the end, it is obviously easier for them to accept the final fate of Elbaf by directly fighting with the Straw Hat Pirates in a peaceful way.

Among those present, only Lipri, who knew a little about psychology, could not help but sigh at the cleverness of the Straw Hat Pirates when she saw this scene.

The rules of the bet already gave Elbaf an absolute advantage, and the way the fight was fought could also show the strength of both parties, giving Elbaf enough respect...

The other party has shown enough sincerity, and as glorious Elbaf warriors, they don't seem to have any reason to reject the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, it is foreseeable that in the next few days, the entire Elbaf will be in a state of turmoil over the issue of the list of defenders.

"Oh, right."

At this moment, Elder Yalulu spoke again:
"Because Helding and the others are also members of Elbaf, so even though they are under the Straw Hats, they will all serve as Elbaf warriors and become members of the Elbaf defending team."

"Hmph, Hailding? He still has some conscience." Hearing this, Redding's mouth curled up slightly. It was unclear whether he was happy about Hailding's behavior or looking forward to meeting his student again.

But Elder Yalulu said something that silenced everyone present.

"In order to see the full power of Elbaf, the other party specifically requested that Loki be made one of the defending Titans to ensure that Elbaf can show enough strength and potential."
