Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

Admiral Sakazuki!

Admiral Aokiji Kuzan!

Marine Admiral Borsalino Kizaru!

Vice Admiral Garp!

A total of six top-tier combatants!

It's worth mentioning that in that year, Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru almost simultaneously qualified to become Marine Admirals.

Garp, who was forced into the position anyway, voluntarily stepped down and was demoted to Vice Admiral.

Knowing that Garp harbored resentment over the God Valley incident, Sengoku could only let him be.

In addition, there are hundreds of elite naval vice admirals!

The navy today is truly powerful and well-equipped!

118 The Giants' Bet! The terrifying fighting power of a giant village! A whopping 1000 billion!

Besides its top-tier forces, the Navy's other military equipment far exceeds what is shown in the original work.

However, several uninvited guests arrived at the Navy Headquarters today.

In the marshal's office.

Sengoku, wearing frog-shaped glasses, was working as usual.

The desk was covered with documents from all over the world, the Grand Line, and the New World.

A small village in the West Blue is attacked by pirates; a non-World Government member state in the North Blue rebels; and a pirate suddenly emerges in the South Blue...

To him, they were just some trivial matters.

In recent years, the seas have been calm, and Whitebeard and Shanks have exercised great restraint.

There has been no word from Renault.

Since taking office, he has had a very relaxed job as a naval admiral.

bang bang

bang bang

"Come in!" Sengoku said without looking up.

A naval soldier pushed open the door, walked up to Sengoku, saluted, and reported:

"Marshal, a pirate named Teach has come to Marine Headquarters, saying he has important business to discuss with you."

"Huh?!" Sengoku paused slightly, letting out a surprised exclamation.

The forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds.

Pirates brazenly arrived at the Marine Headquarters, even specifically requesting to see him, the Fleet Admiral?!

That's really something new.

Zhan Guo picked up his pen again and said casually, "Didn't he say what it was about?!"

"Reporting to the Marshal, he brought over a fellow named Ace. He said that as long as you hear this name, you will definitely want to meet him."

"Fire Fist Ace?!" Sengoku frowned slightly upon hearing this.

He had heard of this guy.

Ace caused some minor trouble in the New World for a while before joining the Whitebeard Pirates, where he is now the second division commander.

“Interesting. Let’s go out and see what Teach is up to.”

Sengoku also became interested in the matter, as it concerned the Whitebeard Pirates.

He immediately left the office.

......

......

Elbaf.

Knowing that Renault was coming, the giants prepared a feast in advance.

They were naturally aware of Renault's previous actions at sea.

Even at such a height, Renault still addressed them as Chief Yoruru and Chief Aruru whenever he saw them, and treated the other giant warriors with great courtesy and without any airs.

This also gave them a deeper understanding of Renault's character.

In the village of giants.

When Reno arrived with Shakky and Hancock, the two patriarchs had been waiting for them for a long time.

Logically speaking, giants have a lifespan three times that of humans, and around 300 years is their limit.

But the two clan leaders seemed to be an exception.

Compared to decades ago, Yoruru, who is over 406300 years old, seems to have remained unchanged, still walking with a vigorous stride.

Renault led the two women into the spacious room with practiced ease.

Inside the house, the two patriarchs, Hajdin, Broglie, Dorry, Casey, Oimo, and other giant warriors familiar to Reno were already in place.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the banquet began.

.....

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chief Yorulu got down to business.

“Reno, I heard from Casey and the others that you have something to talk to me about. Go ahead and say it.”

As the two oldest sailors on the high seas, they have seen and experienced countless people and events.

As the old saying goes, they've walked more roads than Haildin has eaten salt.

In the past, Halding, Brocky, Donley, Casey, and Oimo, among others, had also returned to visit them.

But they were always at different times, and the five of them never got together.

But the fact that they all rushed back in the last few days is unusual and something must be going on.

Yoru and Yaru guessed that what Renault wanted to talk to them about was no small matter.

After downing the rum in his bowl, Reno met the gazes of the two patriarchs and spoke calmly:

"Chief Yorulu, Chief Yarulu, I have indeed come here today to discuss important matters."

"I need the help of the giants to defeat the Celestial Dragons and overthrow the World Government."

"You two should understand what kind of world this is under the rule of the Celestial Dragons."

"Frequent wars have displaced countless civilians, and there are even inhumane hunting games."

"Those righteous naval officers are nothing more than tools to maintain their rule."

"After decades of lying low, I am fully prepared. Before long, I will lead my men to massacre the Navy Headquarters and march straight towards Mary Geoise!"

"Take those self-proclaimed gods, Celestial Dragons, down from their pedestals!"

Renault didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

After the purpose of their visit was explained, the entire room erupted in chaos.

"Renault, you're not kidding, are you?!"

"Do you know what you're talking about?!"

"You're serious about taking on the World Government?! Today isn't April Fool's Day!"

"Hank, who taught Lingling how to dominate the country, said in disbelief."

He was even speaking incoherently.

As the most powerful race in the world, they know more secrets than others.

They are deeply wary of the power of world governments.

Why did most of the giant warriors remain in Elbaf?

Even if they go out to become pirates, only a very small number of them will succeed.

You can count them on your ten fingers.

Isn't it all because they're afraid of the World Government?!

Even an ordinary giant, once he reaches adulthood, possesses strength comparable to a rear admiral or even a vice admiral in the navy.

Without further ado, if even 30% of the giant warriors in Elbaf were to flood the seas and become pirates, the world would be completely transformed.

When that time comes, the world government will have to deal with them first.

Most of the giant warriors now live in Elbaf, where life is peaceful but also relatively safe.

If they don't go out and cause trouble, the world government won't deal with them.

As for other pirates, they certainly didn't have the guts.

Now Reno actually wants the giants to help him overthrow the World Government?!

What... what is this all about?!

The young giant warriors present, including Hank, had only one thought in their minds at that moment.

Absurd, absolutely absurd!

This is the most absurd request they've heard in years!

Nobody had any confidence in Renault; there wasn't even a one in ten thousand chance.

In other words, in their view, Renault's request was pushing the giants into an abyss.

"Alright!" Yoru waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

Upon hearing the highly respected Yoru speak, the other giant warriors fell silent and said no more.

But their gazes toward Renault were clearly filled with hostility.

Compared to these young giant warriors, Chief Yoru and Chief Yaru were undoubtedly much more composed, but their emotions still fluctuated considerably.

At their age, although they had long since come to terms with life and death, this matter concerned the entire race of giants.

After hesitating for a moment, Yorulu spoke first:

“Renault, I know you are powerful. On the high seas today, I’m afraid no one can rival you.”

“I also know that you have a group of powerful partners, like Lingling, Halding, Jess, and Flameflower.”

"But this matter is of utmost importance."

"The World Government has stood firm in the ocean for 800 years. Do you know how much unknown power they possess?!"

"How many unknown methods are there?!"

"Putting all that aside, just look at the Navy Headquarters right now—it has a full six top-tier experts in charge!"

"Taking them down is easier said than done!"

At this point, Aruru sighed deeply and said helplessly:

“Renault, we have seen all the help you have given to the giants over the years, but there is really nothing we can do to help with this matter.”

"We are aware of what the World Government has done, of course, but to rashly oppose them is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock!"

"If Old John and I die, so be it, but these descendants are the hope of the giants. We can't gamble with their lives!!"

"If you fail, it won't just be you who dies, but the entire race of giants!"

"The giant race has existed for over a thousand years; we absolutely cannot let it perish at the hands of two old men like us!"

At this point, Chief Yaru's voice began to tremble slightly.

Their sincere heart is truly touching.

The two clan leaders directly stated their stance, which also reflected the stance of the entire giant race.

Renault was not surprised by this.

As long as the giants don't cause trouble, they can continue to exist for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without any problem.
