Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 498 Group Status-1
"What!? Loki!? Are you kidding me!?"

After hearing the conditions of the Straw Hat team, the giants' faces instantly showed a look of panic, as if they had recalled something bad.

After all, not long ago, they had just mobilized all the power of Elbaf and managed to suppress Loki who was trying to escape.

Every giant participated in that battle, and they saw with their own eyes that Loki stabbed a long sword into Aluru's head in an unconscious resistance, almost killing the last glory of Elbaf.

can only say……

If it weren't for the curse, if it weren't for Loki's character of always talking about destroying the world, they would actually be looking forward to the emergence of a strong man like him among the giants.

Although they have to admit it, every Giant can feel that Elbaf is now on the decline and is gradually moving away from the title of "the world's most powerful country."

"No, Elder Yalulu! If Loki takes the opportunity to escape, it will be a big trouble!"

Immediately, some giants raised questions, as they did not want Loki, whom they had suppressed with great difficulty, to escape again.

Many giants also echoed the response.

However, in the face of everyone's resistance, Yalulu looked thoughtful.

From his previous conversation with Helding, he could hear in Helding's words that he intentionally or unintentionally wanted Elbaf to join the Straw Hat Pirates.

Although Helding has now become an official member of the Straw Hat Pirates, after all, the child was raised by Alulu himself...

Although he was not one of the best in Elbaf in terms of combat talent, at least in terms of intelligence, perhaps because he inherited the genes of his father Harald, he was not as brainless and casual as the other giants.

"Halding also participated in the battle where Loki was imprisoned, so he should be very clear about how terrifying Loki's strength is..."

"But even so, he still wants Loki to defend the ring on behalf of Elbaf..."

"Obviously, none of the participants in this battle are official members of the Straw Hat Pirates. They are all strong men under the command of the Pirate Group. Despite this, Helding still believes that the Straw Hat Pirates will achieve an absolute victory?"

"Have the Straw Hat Pirates become so terrifying now?"

Yalulu filtered out the complaints of the giants and began to think quickly in his heart.

And in the end, he chose to believe Hailding.

That child will not do anything to harm Elbaf.

"All right!"

Yalulu suddenly interrupted the giants' complaints, then lowered his gaze and asked in a deep voice:

"According to Hailding, all the soldiers sent by the Straw Hat Pirates are their best soldiers and generals."

"There are two former Shichibukai, Gekko Moriah, the initiator of this incident, and Empress Hancock, a member of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet who came with her."

""

The giant tribe has been experiencing a lack of successors for some time.

More than a hundred years ago, under the handover of Aluru and Yoruru, Donli and Brogie led the young Giant Pirates to sail to various parts of the world for adventure and to experience the vastness of this world.

Originally, in the eyes of Yalulu and the others, Donli and Broki's talents were enough to make them reach the top of the world.

But for some reason, the two of them ended up staying in the first half of the Grand Line for more than a hundred years.

Although in the continuous fighting, the strength of the two did not decline, and even improved.

But the first half of the Grand Line was a paradise for pirates after all. The two of them were almost invincible there, and they had no chance of fighting against stronger guys, so they wasted a hundred years.

But Yalulu didn't blame them at all.

After all, this is the warrior of Elbaf!

Doing what you want to do, without any restrictions and freely, this is what it means to truly live!

The only pity is that the two of them should have had the opportunity to surpass him and Yorulu and become the world's top powerhouses. Even the so-called Four Emperors and the Admirals of the Navy would not be their opponents.

But now facing the challenge of the Straw Hat Pirates, Alulu can't feel at ease with just these two guys.

The outcome of the ring fight doesn’t matter, but this fight will be broadcast live to the whole world.

What if Elbaf loses miserably? Wouldn't that be a huge damage to the glory of Elbaf?

They have been shouting the glory of Elbaf for thousands of years, but if it suddenly became synonymous with clowns, then Alulu would rather lead all the giants and the Straw Hat Pirates in a bloody battle to the death.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that letting Loki join the war is not something unacceptable.

As expected, when Yalulu expressed his thoughts, all the giants fell silent again.

Let them fight the Straw Hat Pirates?

It's not that they are timid~
Mainly because it's not necessary.

It's not like we can't negotiate, so why make it a bloody mess?

Finally, in the silent atmosphere, no one said anything about not releasing Loki.

……

……

Time passes slowly.

With Moria's publicity, almost the whole world knows that the Straw Hat Pirates are about to have a decisive battle with Elbaf, known as the world's strongest country, to decide whether Elbaf will submit to the Straw Hat Pirates.

In this era when the Pokémon world is rampant, news about the real world is no longer as eye-catching as before.

But Elbaf is, after all, a country that exists in the impressions of many people. Most people in the world even think that the giants exist only in stories and doubt the authenticity of the giants.

Just like they doubt the existence of Sky Island.

Now the Straw Hat Pirates are going to broadcast a duel with the Titans live around the world. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, are you still human?!
For a while, even the number of online users of the "Pokemon Game" was affected by this live broadcast event, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the live broadcast.

……

……

At the same time, among the captains of the Straw Hat Fleet.

Buggy: "Hey, weren't they talking about the Moonlight Pirates challenging the strongest in Elbaf? Why did it suddenly become a live showdown?!"

Moriah: "Hehehe~ Do you have any objection? This is what Lord Red agreed to!"

Barto: "Asshole! Why use the name of the Straw Hat Pirates when you want to fight? If you lose, won't it bring shame to the Straw Hat Pirates along with you!"

Moriah: "Who said I would lose!? But I heard that there is a very powerful person in Elbaf, who should not be underestimated."

"And Hailding will also join Elbaf's camp as a giant."

"Including my zombie subordinates, the Moonlight Pirates should be able to muster about four or five high-end combat forces..."

"Come to think of it, the chances of winning don't seem very high~"

Barto was furious: "Damn bastard! So who allowed you to tarnish the reputation of the Straw Hats!? You bastard!!!"

"No! Anyway, you didn't say that only members of the Moonlight Pirates can participate. Anyone who is under the Straw Hat Pirates can participate."

"I must join when the time comes. I can't let an idiot like you damage the reputation of the Straw Hats!!!"

As a loyal fan of the Straw Hat Pirates, Bartolomeo almost didn't hesitate and directly and forcefully asked to join the battle to conquer Elbaf. But he didn't know that this was exactly what Moria wanted to see!

"Karina is right! These guys can't stand it anymore in order to protect the reputation of the Straw Hat Pirates."

Moriah, sitting in the captain's room of the Pluto, looked at Barto's reply, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised into an arc like a crescent moon.

But in his reply in the group chat, he looked very reluctant.

Moriah: "This is the mission given to me by Lord Red. How can you just join it?"

"However, I am not 100% sure. If you can come, it will increase the chances of winning!"

Barto: "Humph! You bastard, after this is over, I will definitely teach you a lesson! I will let you know that the reputation of the Straw Hat is not a prop for you to use for show!"

Luo: "Idiot Barto, can't you see that Moria did this on purpose!?"

At this moment, Luo, who had been lurking, finally couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but speak up to remind them.

Because Barto is extremely snobbish and has a very bad personality, even in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, few people can get along with him.

But at the same time, he also has a certain restraint towards the strong.

Because Law's fruit ability just happens to restrain him, so in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, Law can barely be considered as someone who can talk to Barto.

After a few interactions, the two of them developed a special friendship.

That's why Luo specifically reminded Barto to watch the group last time.

But he didn't expect that such a simple matter would develop to this point.

Although no matter how you look at it, the Straw Hat Fleet has absolute advantages. After this battle, they can unscrupulously look for like-minded giant warriors in Elbaf and invite them to join their pirate group.

But this feeling of being led by Moria is really uncomfortable.

Therefore, although there were many captains who could have a say in this incident, they all chose to remain silent, wanting to leave Moria alone, and only expressed their willingness to join the ring battle until the last moment, leaving him anxious.

But no one expected that Barto, a single-celled organism, didn't think so much and rushed out directly, which fell into Moria's hands.

In this case, there is no point for them to continue diving.

However, although diving is no longer possible, they can take this opportunity to give Moria a good scolding.

This big black fat guy, in order to prevent them from watching the fun, actually dragged everyone into the water! ?

Red's preference for Moria allowed him to obtain the ancient weapon Pluto, which made him famous, even surpassing his previous title of Shichibukai...

This incident has long made the other members of the Straw Hat Fleet extremely envious and jealous.

It’s just that they didn’t dare to say no to Chihong’s decision, so they didn’t dare to say anything.

Until this moment, they finally seized the opportunity.

All of a sudden, one after another, the captains who were originally diving came out and spoke wildly in the group.

At first, they still accused Moria of deceiving Barto.

But as time went on, the reasons people gave for scolding Moria started to become confusing, and one could even say they were just looking for trouble.

What about Moria looks so much like an onion that he feels sick every time he eats an onion.

What a misleading thing to do, turning a cute girl like Perona into such a wicked person.

What? There's a bastard under his command who often sneaks into the women's bathhouse to peek. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked.

Even many guys who were afraid of Moria took this opportunity to come forward and boldly join the team that was scolding Moria.

……

……

"Damn it! Damn it! I'll remember you!!!"

In Captain Pluto's room, Moriah, with red eyes, looked at the avatars and names flashing on his personal terminal, gritting his teeth and speaking fiercely.

Although he tried his best not to read the group chats, even if only one or two words flashed in his eyes, he felt extremely angry.

Fortunately, Moria had anticipated this.

After being angry for a long time, he forced himself to calm down, but secretly pressed the screen recording button on his personal terminal.

"Go ahead and curse me! After this incident is over, I will go door to door to find you and have a good discussion with you about what is the greatest truth."

Moria slammed the table hard, stood up, stopped looking at the content of the group chat, and began to contact his subordinates to prepare for related matters.

In any case, those guys who dared to insult him all agreed to join this ring battle.

If the Moonlight Pirates were to challenge the entire Elbaf alone, even with the power of Pluto, Moria would not dare to make an absolute guarantee.

But if we add the power of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet...

It's not that he is overconfident, but the fact is that even if they completely wipe Elbaf off the world map, it won't be a difficult task for them.

The world's most powerful country! ?
That's the past!

The name of this era is Straw Hat!
The Straw Hat Grand Fleet is by no means a simple pirate alliance!

Under the leadership of the Straw Hat Pirates, the resources and energy accumulated by the Straw Hat Grand Fleet are enough to shock the entire world!

Just Elbaf?

Ah!
Just the remnants of the old times!

……

……

"Captain, are the Straw Hat Pirates really going to attack Elbaf?"

In the New World, in a rare peaceful scene, on a pirate ship that is not very large.

Ben Beckman, wearing casual sunglasses, took the newspaper and handed it to the red-haired man who was basking in the sun on the deck.

That’s right, this inconspicuous ship is actually the pirate ship of one of the most powerful ships on the ocean today - the former Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks.

And what it carries is naturally the Red Hair Pirates, who have lost the title of the Four Emperors.

"Um?!"

Hearing Ben Beckman's words, the red-haired guy who was resting was stunned.

Because some time ago they were accidentally dragged into a strange place by the natural environment of the new world. Although the incident did not have much impact on them due to their strong strength, it did delay them for a few days.

So they don't know much about the recent commotion in Moria.

The red-haired man took the newspaper with a serious and solemn expression.

Elbaf is a friend of the Red Hair Pirates, and the Straw Hat Pirates and Red Hair have an unclear relationship.

Both of them have a good relationship with him, and he doesn't want the Straw Hat Pirates and Elbafa to start a war and cause unnecessary bloodshed.
