Chapter 178: The Three Giants (Fifth Update)
I thought it would go through several twists and turns, but I didn't expect that it would be much easier to really get it than I imagined, and his memory of this world is enough to grasp the direction of the world.
To be able to get to this point, the existence of the system is one thing, and his grasp of the direction and context of this world is another.
Without Robin's intelligence, he would not be able to hunt down all kinds of pirates so quickly and smoothly and rise in the Western Sea, if there was no Lafitte as a navigator, he would have to spend a lot of time navigating, his cultivation was rusty, and his strength was much weaker than now, and he might not be able to pass the level of youth.
"It's finally in my hands."
Looking at this thunder fruit, Rhodes muttered softly.
If it was before, he would be happy, but because of Robin's matter, he didn't have any emotions such as happiness now, just took the thunder fruit calmly.
"Good job."
After complimenting the chiefs and priests, Rhodes led Robin and the others into the palace, which was built later, and used the Sky Island Bika as a stronghold similar to a 'base camp'.
After getting the Thunder Fruit from the Chief, plus the metal fruit, the initial formation of the Giant Legion was already close at hand.
After staying in Bika for a week, after Robin's hand recovered a little, Rhodes and Lafitte left Bika and came to Qinghai, where they found the Giant Pirates and took the five members of the Giant Pirates to the Sky Island.
For the five giants including Hairding, it was the first time they had landed on the Sky Island.
In a huge courtyard of white island clouds, five giants, including Hairding, sat cross-legged, while Rhodes stood in front of them, placing two fruits on the ground.
"This is the Natural Thunder Fruit, one of the strongest Devil Fruits, and the Superhuman Metal Fruit, which is also extremely good."
Rhodes looked up at Hairding and the others, and said calmly: "These two fruits, now handed over to you, and soon after, I will use your strength." ”
“……”
Hairding and the others couldn't help but show a little shock when they looked at the two devil fruits.
Although Rhodes had said before that they would soon be able to find stronger Devil Fruits to build the Giant Legion, they didn't expect it to be so fast, and one of them was still a natural thunder fruit!
Transform into lightning and take charge of the Devil Fruit of thunder and lightning!
"There are no new crew members right now, and you are the most suitable users."
Rhodes calmly opened his mouth to Hairding and the others, and said, "However, using these two devil fruits, it also means that you will follow me through countless cruel battles in the future, and if you don't pay attention, you may die on the battlefield, and it is up to you to decide whether you want to become a warrior or not." ”
Kaku hasn't eaten the Devil Fruit yet, but the people of CP9 are more suitable for intelligence work, and if the Thunder Fruit is given to Kaku, it means that Kaku will become the main combat power and get on the ship, so that the already weak intelligence link will be weakened again.
Moreover.
The price to be paid for eating these two fruits is that there will be countless bloody and brutal battles, and whether it is against Doflamingo or against the Four Emperors, you must definitely participate in the war!
“…… The giants are all fearless warriors. ”
Hairing looked at the two Devil Fruits, and after a few seconds of silence, he looked at Rhodes with a fearless look in his eyes.
Will the giants admit that they are not warriors? No way! The identity of a warrior is the glory of every giant clan! As for brutal battles and bloody battlefields or something, for a true warrior, it is not an asura field, but a paradise!
"I swear in the name of the warriors of Elbaf that I will sweep away all enemies for you!"
Hairding didn't refuse, he picked up the Thunder Fruit, made a very serious gesture of the Giant Clan's oath, and then swallowed the Thunder Fruit.
Even ordinary promises of the Giants will be fulfilled desperately, not to mention the oath, any oath, unless they die, will always fight for it!
Cracking sound!
After eating the Thunder Fruit, Hairding began to crack in his hair, and Rhodes and Statham were forced to retreat into the distance.
The lightning-like light spread from his head all the way to his feet, and finally his whole person was covered in thunder and lightning, turning into a white thunder body!
Thunder Giant Hairding ...... And so it was!
Crackling!
The lightning flashed continuously, enveloping Hairing, causing his massive body to fly upward, and his black hair had turned a thunderous white and danced.
I don't know how long it took, but Hairing gradually got used to this power, slowly dissipated the power of thunder and lightning, and the whole person fell back to the ground, his fist hanging on the ground, and knelt down on one knee at Rhodes.
Rhodes watched calmly.
"From now on, you will be one of Elbaf's glory for hundreds of years to come, Thunder Giant Helding."
The second remaining metal fruit finally fell on the head of the boatman Statham, and as a boatman, the use of metal fruit is naturally more like a fish in water.
Goo!
After swallowing the metal fruit, Statham's hair turned from black to silver-gray and spread all the way to the roots, and his head also had a metallic sheen, all the way to his feet.
Statham's body quickly dissolved into a puddle of liquid silver metal, scattered all over the ground, and then quickly coalesced as he stood up, raised his arms, one arm turning into a massive silver warhammer, pointing to the sky.
Metal giant Statham ...... Birth!
So far.
Thunder Giant Hairding, Metal Giant Statham, and Sand Giant Rhodes have all been born, among whom Rhodes is already familiar with the abilities of the Sand Fruit, which is much better than when he first obtained it, and can even make Sand Armor that is strong enough to withstand bullets and cannonballs.
"Thank you for your kindness."
The great hammer at Statham's wrist was restored to its original state, and he, like Hairding, performed the most solemn rite of a giant clan at Rhodes.
Rhodes nodded and said, "The three fruits of Thunder, Metal, and Sand are all very suitable for your Giant Clan's abilities, and in the next period of time, I want you to stay on the Sky Island and exercise the abilities of these three fruits...... And I'll teach you something else. ”
"Do as I am told."
Hairding and other giants all responded in unison.
Rhodes stood in place, stood with his hands in his hands, and said in a calm tone: "So...... From now on, Goldbagu and Geerz step away. ”
Goldbagu and Geerz nodded and retreated into the distance.
And just as they retreated to about 100 meters away, Rhodes slowly raised his hand, and the whole person suddenly flickered, came into mid-air, and punched Hairding.
Combat is the best way to train!
Especially for those with natural and special superhuman abilities like Helding, they can't be hurt without using armed colors, and Rhodes can play them wantonly and use them as sandbags.
The battle with the Golden Lion made Rhodes feel the crisis, although he was able to escape from the hands of the general, but only escaped, and any slightest accident could lead him to a huge crisis.
Strength.
He must continue to improve his strength!
