Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Although the elders still had complicated expressions, they eventually lowered their heads.

Rayleigh sat on a distant boulder, took a slow sip of his drink, and said softly, "See, Jabba, no one can stop what this man is determined to do."

"The power of this person, who can uphold justice on the high seas, is something we old folks cannot shake."

Jabba didn't reply, but just stared at the giant figure, his eyes flashing.

The banquet resumed, but the atmosphere was several times more lively than before.

The giants began to truly open their hearts, offering Shen Jue the finest wine and the most delicious meat.

Shen Jue sat cross-legged on the ground, having regained some of his original form, but still maintaining a physique slightly taller than that of an ordinary giant, and drank with Loki.

Just then, he noticed several strikingly large female giants in the crowd.

One of them, with flowing blond hair, deep-set features, and a tall, voluptuous figure, was none other than Gertz, the ship's doctor in the Hajrudin Pirates.

She stood by the campfire, holding a wooden cup in her hands, secretly observing Shen Jue.

Seeing Shen Jue looking over, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she raised her cup in a toast from afar.

The other was dressed in Elbaf's traditional animal skin short outfit, with long brown hair braided into thick braids, and wheat-colored skin that shone with a healthy glow in the firelight. She was Varda, a well-known female warrior among the giants.

She was wrestling with several male giants, her movements swift and decisive, displaying remarkable heroism.

Shen Jue's gaze lingered on them for a moment, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Hina followed his gaze, her face darkening. She slammed the enormous wine bowl she was holding onto the table. "Brother Shen Jue, what are you looking at?"

"Behold the warriors of Elbaf," Shen Jue said without changing his expression.

"Is that so?" Hina sneered, her tone sour.

"I thought you were admiring the beautiful giants."

Bai Xing lifted her head from the pile of flesh, her mouth bulging, and mumbled, "Does Lord Shen Jue like giant girls? Bai Xing will grow even bigger in the future..."

Shen Jue coughed lightly and reached out to touch Bai Xing's hair: "Swallow the meat in your mouth first."

Loki, already flushed from drinking, burst into laughter upon hearing this: "We giant women are not to be trifled with!"

"Marshal Shen Jue! You'd better think this through!"

Gertz heard this, glared at Loki from afar, but didn't deny it.

Hina's jealousy intensified, so she sat up straight, buttoned up the collar one more button, and stared coldly at the giant women.

The banquet continued, and Shen Jue sat among the giants, his gaze passing over the flames, silently planning the rest of the trip.

The journey in Elbaf has come to an end.

The next step is to leave this land of giants, and with Loki and the many giants, bring the flames of war to the Red Line.

Engage in the final battle with that world king.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the new world.

The sea was as calm as a piece of deep blue glass, and even the wind had fallen silent.

The pure white warship broke through the water, its bow raised high, yet the hull made no mechanical noise, as if it were being gently carried by some force.

Robin stood on the deck, the sea breeze blowing through her long black hair, revealing a pair of eyes as calm as a lake.

She gazed at the island gradually becoming clearer in the distance and whispered, "We've arrived."

It was an island with a peculiar shape.

From a distance, the entire Egghead Island looks like a giant mechanical city built from countless precision gears and metal pipes.

A ring of silver-white automated defense buoys surrounds the island, and occasionally beams of light shoot from within the island into the sky.

Fine cloud trails crisscrossed the sky, and several satellite-like spheres hovered above the island, slowly rotating.

"Is this Vegapunk's territory?" Enel stood on the ship's railing, his earlobes swaying gently in the sea breeze.

He looked utterly bored, his golden hair shimmering in the sunlight, squinting as he surveyed the island.

"If it weren't for Lord Xiaotian's request."

"I don't want to come to this boring island."

"I much prefer fighting those invincible Celestial Dragons to so-called escort missions," Enel said listlessly.

"Do your job well." Robin said calmly, "Lord Xiaotian has made it clear that he wants to join forces with the new Navy."

"The final battle is not far off."

"Two terrifying sea monsters teaming up?" Enel chuckled, lazily tossing a small ball of lightning in his hand.

"The world government is really in luck now."

"Aren't there more and more countries breaking away from the World Government?"

"We've slaughtered quite a few of those Celestial Dragons who were high and mighty on the Red Line."

"The so-called 'heavenly gold' is now just a name without substance."

"These Celestial Dragons and former Marines are trapped in those places, fighting like cornered beasts."

At this moment, Xiaotian walked out of the cabin, with an ordinary iron sword hanging at his waist.

He looked up at Egghead Island, his gaze passing over the silvery-white defensive buoys and landing on a towering gear-shaped spire deep within the island. He suddenly took a deep breath.

Then, he laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"Old Berlusconi!"

The sound was as loud as thunder, and although it wasn't very forceful, it still caused ripples to spread across the entire sea surface.

Several nautical miles away, the defensive buoys surrounding Egghead Island simultaneously emitted piercing alarms, and red warning lights flashed wildly.

"We've come to pick you up as Brother Shen Jue instructed, hahaha!"

Before he finished speaking, he flipped his wrist and the seemingly ordinary iron sword was already in his hand.

The sword had no luster whatsoever, but the moment Xiaotian raised it, the entire sky suddenly darkened.

The sea suddenly became calm, and even the clouds seemed to have been split open by some invisible force, revealing a sliver of light.

The light fell on the sword and was absorbed into it as if swallowed up, causing the space around the sword's edge to distort slightly.

Xiaotian took a step forward, and the iron sword in his hand trembled slightly.

A sword aura shot out from the sky.

The sword energy was initially just a thin line, as fine as a hair, but once it left the sword's edge, it swelled up like a storm.

In the blink of an eye, it has transformed into a Milky Way that stretches for thousands of meters across the sky and the sea!

The sword energy surged like a waterfall, like a galaxy falling, slashing diagonally down the sea surface.

The giant mechanical sea monster guarding the outer perimeter of Egghead Island was the first to be affected.

The giant mechanical sea monsters, whose bodies were covered in alloy armor, were slashed through the middle of their bodies by the sword energy.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a bright beam of light emerged from the mechanical sea monsters from their heads to their tails, and their massive bodies were split in two with a resounding crash, the cuts as smooth as mirrors.

The internal mechanical structure, energy pipes, and gun barrels are all exposed to the air.

Countless sparks flew between the two halves of the body, triggering a series of secondary explosions.

Before the flames of the explosion could even rise, the sword energy had already swept past the remains of the sea beast and struck the outer defensive barrier of Egghead Island.

"boom!"

All the defense facilities on Egghead Island lit up simultaneously.

Silver-white automated buoys fired lasers wildly, hundreds of giant cannons rose on both sides of the port, and artificial satellites in the sky instantly gathered to form a honeycomb-shaped light shield.

However, those light shields couldn't even hold for a moment.

Where the sword energy passed, buoys turned to dust, giant cannons snapped in half, and artificial satellites exploded into fragments like bubbles.

The outermost metal wall of Egghead Island was completely sheared away, revealing the complex, labyrinthine mechanical structure inside.

The sword energy advanced into the island, neatly slicing through several towers used for lethal experiments, before suddenly dissipating just a step away from the factory in the center of the island.

The entire defense system of Egghead Island was completely shattered by this sword strike.

The naval soldiers stationed there stood amidst the ruins, their faces drained of color.

They still had their weapons, but none of them dared to pull the trigger.

"Monster!"

"It's a depraved beast!"

"Quickly! Contact the Holy Land! Egghead Island is under enemy attack!"

In the chaos, a naval officer trembled as he grabbed a military Den Den Mushi and dialed an encrypted channel directly to the Holy Land.

"This is Egghead Island! Egghead Island is under attack! Requesting backup! Repeat, requesting backup!"

There was a moment of silence on the Den Den Mushi, then a hoarse and authoritative voice came through: "Explain the situation."

"It's the Fallen Beast, Howling Sky!"

Silence fell on the other end of the phone.

Then, on Egghead Island! A black teleportation array lit up!
