Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

He said with a touch of fanaticism, "A completely new order is about to be established in this ocean. That corrupt and enormous kingdom has been utterly destroyed. Now is the era of the World Government!"

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed subordinate tugged at his boss's sleeve, his voice trembling slightly, and pointed to Luffy's head, "Boss, look at that guy's hat."

The CP9 leader followed the finger and looked down at Luffy's straw hat.

His pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying or forbidden. His arrogant arrogance was instantly extinguished by half, and his face turned pale.

But he quickly regained his composure, shaking his head vigorously as if trying to convince himself: "Coincidence, it's all a coincidence. That guy is dead. You're the imitator!"

He glared at Luffy again, "You're with this serious criminal, so you're probably not some nobody either. Let's take you down too!"

"Let me handle this,"

Tian Yueshi subconsciously took half a step forward, but before she could finish speaking, everything went blurry.

Luffy's figure blurred for a moment, and tiny sparks of electricity seemed to crackle in the air.

In the next instant, Luffy was already standing calmly behind the CP9 members.

Those CP9 members who were shouting just a second ago now seemed to have had their bones removed, their faces frozen in terror and confusion, as they collapsed to the ground without a sound, completely losing consciousness.

Luffy glanced back at the elite CP9 members lying sprawled out, and couldn't help but complain again, "They're so weak. How did these guys even get into CP9?"

They're not even in the same league as Rob Lucci and his crew.

He even felt that if he had stood still and simply used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to cause a slight ground tremor, he probably would have knocked all of these guys unconscious.

"Wow, that's strong!"

Tenzuki covered her mouth, her light green eyes filled with shock.

Is this the power that the Four Emperors, who reign supreme over the vast ocean in the future, possess, as Gion-sama remembers?

Ok?

The laziness on Luffy's face vanished instantly, replaced by an excited expression of discovering interesting prey.

His powerful Observation Haki allowed him to sense two powerful auras rapidly approaching.

"It seems like a real opponent has arrived. Find a place to retreat and stay far away," he instructed Tianyue Shi. "I won't be able to protect you once the fight starts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy suddenly paused and looked up at the horizon.

The silhouette of an unusually large ship was slowly coming into view, cutting through the waves.

The ship had a rugged and ancient style, exuding a heroic spirit.

But what attracted Luffy's attention even more was the giant figure standing at the bow of the ship, as large as a small mountain.

That kind of aura was much stronger than that of Dorry and Brogy he encountered in the small garden.

His entire being exudes a majestic and domineering aura of a king!

"The giants of eight hundred years ago,"

Luffy grinned. "Let's say hello first."

A red light flashed in his eyes, and the aura behind him surged like an invisible tsunami, sweeping towards the giant ship.

He was telling the other person:

I'm here!

......

Not long ago, in the nearby sea area.

A giant warship flying the new World Government flag was sailing at a leisurely pace.

This ship, belonging to the King of Giants, had a deck so wide that ordinary humans would feel insignificant.

Standing on the deck was the leader of this generation of Elbaf giants.

He had a resolute face and a thick beard. He wore simple leather and metal armor, and beside his broad shoulders, a glossy squirrel was impatiently slapping its tail against his neck armor.

"Out of contact?"

"Hmph, these so-called direct intelligence organizations that the World Government cobbled together are terrible! Those guys are just a bunch of thieves who stole Joy Boy's victory! Borson, why don't you dare to completely turn against them and fight them?!" The little squirrel yelled angrily.

“Iron Ray, defeat is inevitable. Joy Boy made his choice; he didn’t want to see any more pointless sacrifices. His decision might be right. This world isn’t enough with just Joy Boy. The David family, those who inherited the same will, coming together, is the true fulcrum to move the world.”

The giant's gaze was fixed on the distant sea.

Borsun, the king of the giants of this generation, was once a comrade-in-arms who fought alongside the legendary liberator Joy Boy.

They once shared a dream of creating a free, equal, and oppressive world.

However, the war was lost, Joy Boy perished, and the great kingdom fell.

The twenty kings united to establish a world government and began to erase everything from the past.

As the king of the giant kingdom, the World Government extended an olive branch to him, offering him a high position and privileges, hoping that the powerful giant race could be incorporated into the new order.

Borsong refused, and decided to lead his people back to their homeland, Elbaf.

However, this is not without its costs.

"As a condition for a peaceful departure, you just need to help the World Government get rid of that wanted woman, right?"

"Hmph, this is also betrayal. Borson, you are the Overlord! Look behind us! Those World Government warships are all following us from a distance. They don't trust you at all."

Tie Lei jumped onto Borsong's head and pointed to the dozens of warships that were vaguely visible on the sea behind him.

The warships maintained a delicate distance, neither approaching nor moving away, like a group of silent and vigilant observers.

"Iron Ray, this is for the sake of the giants, and also to leave some possibility for the future."

Borsong's voice was almost a sigh.

How could he not feel humiliated?

But as king, he had to weigh the pros and cons.

Joy Boy has fallen, and the Giants can no longer afford a full-scale war against the newly formed World Government.

A temporary compromise, in exchange for the tribe's recuperation and future possibilities, is the heavy responsibility he bears as the king of his tribe.

Just then, Borsong's eyes flickered slightly.

hum!

A strange, overwhelming aura of dominance appeared without warning.

The sky in the distance even changed color.

The invisible shockwaves made the waves surge.

"Um?!"

Borsong's massive body trembled slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his deep eyes.

Almost at the same time, a gasp and a dull thud came from the warship behind him.

On the World Government warships that were following at a distance, the weaker naval soldiers and officers were knocked unconscious in droves by the sudden onslaught of Conqueror's Haki.

"Why would such a high level of Conqueror's Haki exist in this place?" Borsong asked in surprise.

He focused his gaze, his superhuman eyesight combined with his Observation Haki, instantly piercing through the distance and locking onto the figure on the shore of the deserted island.

I saw a man wearing a straw hat on the shore!

Borsong's pupils contracted sharply.

"Joey Boy?!"

"Hey, Borsong, did you get hit in the head by a sea monster?!"

Ironhide saw it too. Standing atop the giant's head, it shaded itself with its claws, its voice filled with disbelief, "How did Joy Boy end up here?"

This kind of Conqueror's Haki is very strong!

But he's not as good as Joy Boy; they're not even in the same league.

Therefore, the conclusion is that the person was not Joy Boy.

Tie Lei's mind is that simple.

This is at best a high-quality fake!

"Aren't you going to respond? The guys on your ship can't handle this level of Conqueror's Haki!"

Tie Lei glanced around. The strong giant warriors on the deck, though much stronger than humans, were now staggering and most of them had fainted. Only a few of the strongest captains were still gritting their teeth and holding on.

Borsong recovered from his momentary shock.

Tierley is right, it's not Joey Boy.

"No matter who you are, this is the rule of this sea. Since you've unleashed Conqueror's Haki, you're issuing a challenge," Borsong whispered.

He didn't unleash his Conqueror's Haki to counteract it, as that would have caused a wider ripple effect and might even have given the World Government's surveillance agents an excuse to launch an attack.

But he had to respond, in a warrior's manner.

“Iron Thunder,” he said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, I know, I know!"

Despite his grievances, Tie Lei moved swiftly.

Its small body leaped into the air, suddenly expanding and deforming in mid-air.

The metallic sheen replaced the fur, and the intricate structure unfolded instantly.

In the blink of an eye.

A squirrel has disappeared, replaced by a giant warhammer with an ancient-looking design!

The hammerhead was even larger than Borsong's head, and the handle was just right for the Giant King's hand to hold.

This is precisely Tie Lei's ability.

It's an animal that ate a Devil Fruit!

"Let's test that guy's quality!"

With a low shout, Borsong's arm muscles bulged as he gripped the Iron Thunder, which had transformed back into its giant hammer form. Without any fancy movements, he simply swung it backward in a powerful arc and then hurled it towards the deserted island.

call out!
