Chapter 303: Assumption
The Giants are very simple and direct, and since they have decided to join Rhodes, there will be no hypocrisy.
They roughly cleaned up the battlefield and led Rhodes back to their ship.
The first impression of the giant clan's pirate ship to Rhodes was that it was big, very large, and then it was a sense of savage and ruggedness, simple and practical.
Being able to sail in the New World, this giant pirate ship still has the technical content, whether it is load-bearing capacity or balance, it is handled very well, at least it will not cause the ship to capsize due to some of the giants' more daily actions.
Back on the ship, Heldin began to introduce Rhodes to his partner:
"This is Geltz the Shipwright, this is Statham the Shipwright, this is the Cook Goldor Bagg......"
"And this, Rode, the navigator with your namesake as your lord."
The giant Rhodes scratched his head innocently.
It is estimated that there are many people with the same name around the world, but there are still relatively few who can meet them in person.
"It seems that we are indeed quite fated."
Rod smiled lightly and nodded slightly at everyone.
As they spoke, Hairing took out his long-cherished spirits.
"Oh, Hairing, this is the last bottle of Soldier."
Shipwright Statham exclaimed.
The Giant Soldier Wine is a specialty of Elbaf, and they have drunk a lot of bits and pieces since they sailed, and this last bottle is kept as a souvenir, after all, no one knows when they will return home.
I didn't expect Hairing to take it out today.
"It's a big day, so of course we have to celebrate."
Hairing grinned, thought for a moment, and said to Bagh:
"Get a small wine bowl."
As a leader, he is still a little different from ordinary giants, and his mind is a little more.
"No, you don't."
Rod stopped Bag's movements, then took the bowl in front of him, which was bigger than his whole body, and took a big sip.
The spicy drink flows from the throat all the way to the stomach, making the blood all over the body seem to boil, and the fighting spirit is surging, worthy of the specialty of the giant's hometown of Elbaf, upholding the tradition of the giant clan.
"Happy!"
Hairding and the others were more respectful of Rhodes, and they were not hypocritical, and at the same time picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
After drinking, everyone was a little drunk, and at the same time found that Rod was not as cold and arrogant as he imagined.
So Halding and the others opened up the conversation box, talking about Elbaf's daily life, and talking about some bizarre events encountered while sailing in the New World.
“……”
Rod could hear that Hairding and the others were not satisfied.
Giants themselves are rare, and wherever they go, they are coveted by outsiders, such as the Kuhlman family, who have encountered it many times.
And although the strength of the giant is stronger than the average strong, it is too far behind those peak powerhouses to be deterrent, and at the same time, because of its large size, it is easy to be targeted.
Therefore, since going to sea, Hairding and the others have had a very bad life, not to mention reinvigorating the prestige of the giant soldier pirates, and it is a little difficult to protect themselves and survive.
The New World has never been a good place.
"Giants, Giants......"
"Since you've decided to join me......"
Rod's eyes flickered, and he finally made a decision.
"Of course I have to show sincerity."
After saying that, before Hairding and the others could react, he took out two Devil Fruits from the storage ring.
"These two are special superhuman metal fruits, animal phantom beast titan giant forms, which are very compatible with you."
Rhodes placed the two priceless Devil Fruits on the ground casually.
“……”
Looking at the two Devil Fruits on the deck, which were no bigger than their fingers, Hairing and the others were stunned.
Giants are simple, straightforward, not ignorant!
Special superhuman metal fruit, phantom beast titan giant form, just listen to the name and know that this is definitely a very powerful ability, no worse than the natural system.
But after they joined, Rhodes took it out like this......
A sudden feeling came over me.
They know that this is recognition, it is trust.
Hairing did not take it, but said solemnly:
"We can't, Lord Rhodes, we have just joined your command and have not done anything for you, we can't afford such a gift."
The other four giants nodded in unison, and while these two Devil Fruits were priceless and represented great strength, they valued honor more than anything else.
Rod smiled:
"No, you've given what I value most.
Moreover, I think that if you want to revive the prestige of the Giant Pirates, the most important thing is to rely on your own strength. ”
“……”
When Halding and the others heard this, their expressions did not move at all, and it was a big taboo to accept it without merit.
A four-emperor-level force must have rules and order.
Although Hairding and the others are honest, they are actually open.
"You ......"
Looking at their unwavering appearances, Rod shook his head helplessly and said bluntly:
"Since you know me, you should also know that I am about to have a decisive battle with the navy, and you are in a hurry, and your current combat strength will not play a big role on that battlefield."
"I need you to be strong."
As soon as these words came out, Hairing and the others immediately hesitated.
The giants can also read the newspaper with the help of a magnifying glass, so they also know the situation in the new world, and know that there will be a battle between the dragon slayer and the navy, sooner or later, but it will definitely break out within this year.
And with the current strength of the Dragon Slaying Sword Hero's forces, it is far from being the opponent of the Navy Headquarters, many casinos have opened handicaps, and the odds of the Dragon Slayer Sword Hao have always been high.
When Helding chose to join before, he didn't think about this, but now he thinks about it, and he doesn't regret it, the Giants are never afraid of war.
"Although there are only two Devil Fruits now, believe me, I will find a Devil Fruit that is strong enough, and the five Giant Clan Devil Fruit Abilities can definitely spread the prestige of the Giant Clan all over the sea!"
Rod smiled faintly.
The size of the Giants is a target, but if they have some matching fruit abilities, the outcome will be completely different!
Rhodes is looking forward to what terrifying power the giant clan can exert on the battlefield after eating the Devil Fruit.
Moreover, Rhodes has the inheritance of Nine Snake Island, and the difficulty of the Giant Clan's cultivation of two-color domineering will also be reduced by more than a notch!
Giants can be domineering and have superpowers, who can withstand it?
“……”
Speaking of which, Hairing would be a little unsure if he refused.
He carefully pinched the two Devil Fruits, although the Devil Fruits were not even comparable to his fingers, but they gave him an extremely heavy feeling, as if he was holding two mountains!
Ultimately.
Helding's eyes flashed with determination, and he bowed solemnly to Rhodes and said:
"Thank you for your trust, we will never let you down!"
"Bet on the name of Elbaf, and we will always follow in your footsteps and never regret it!"
Statham and the others were extremely solemn and made the heaviest oath of the Giant Clan.
Rod smiled silently.
He knew that these giants would be the strongest spears and shields in his hands.
Whether it is in the decisive battle with the navy or in the future imperial war, it will play a pivotal role.
