Chapter 267: Elbaf (1st Update)
Half a month later.
Elbaf.
Today's Ghost Hand Pirates, except for the Navy Headquarters and the Holy Land Mary Joa, can be said to go wherever they want.
High mobility and fast action, even if the world government is always watching, it does not send troops out, because the price to pay to encircle and suppress a Five Emperor Pirate on the sea is too great.
"It's back again, Elbaf, it's been a while."
Gelds stood on the deck, looking at Elbaf in the distance.
Rhodes was sitting on her shoulder, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "You seem to have said before that it has been more than ten years since you left Elbaf. ”
"yes, it's been a while."
Geerz smiled, giants live several times longer than humans, and a duel can even last for hundreds of years, which is very slow in terms of time, and a few years feel like it's not long.
It has only been two or three years since following Rhodes, which is like a nap for giants such as Gelds and Helding, but in such a short period of time, they have become a world-famous giant army.
Once again, while reasserting the prestige of the giants, it has also become the glory of Elbaf.
"Look, they're back!"
On the shore of Elbaf, many giants were waiting here, and they had been waiting for them since they learned that Hairding and the others were coming back, and for more than half a month they hardly felt anything.
"Oh, Helding!"
The giants sitting there all stood up, including some giants who were not very tall, of course, not very tall, and much taller than normal adult humans.
The young men of the Giant Clan all cheered, and throughout the year, they continued to hear about the Giant Legion, and there was a hint of worship in their eyes.
"Are you Arneen? I've grown up a lot. ”
Hairing stepped out of the boat, looked at the group of teenagers rushing over, and touched the head of one of them without smiling.
The life of the giant clan is long, more than ten years, which is only equivalent to three or four years of human beings, and these giant clan teenagers are actually twenty or thirty years old, but they are still early in adulthood.
Except for Hairding.
The other Rhodes and the others were also welcomed by the entire Elbaf, and for a time the entire shore was extremely lively, and countless giants grinned heartily.
"It really feels like back then, speaking of which, the green ghosts and red ghosts haven't been back for almost a hundred years, and this duel is a bit too long."
Someone grinned and mentioned the two former captains of the Giant Pirates.
And at this time, a young man from the Giant Clan found Rhodes sitting on Geerz's shoulder, and couldn't help but ask Geerz.
"Who's that? Is it human? ”
Since the BIGMOM incident decades ago, there hadn't been many humans in Elbaf, and the sight of the very small Rhodes made these giants very curious.
Geerz squinted his eyes and smiled, and said in a slightly respectful tone, "This is our captain, Ghost Hand Rhodes. ”
"He's that Lord Rhodes?!"
Arneen, the giant boy standing next to him, was stunned for a moment.
The matter of Helding and the Giant Corps is circulating in Elbaf, and the matter of the Ghost Hand Pirates is naturally mixed in, and the Giant Clan almost knows that Helding is currently under the banner of the Ghost Hand Pirates, and is naturally no stranger to the name of Rhodes.
But......
Arnen stared at Rhodes, showing a hint of disbelief, no matter how he looked at Rhodes, he didn't look like the legendary powerhouse, and his body was a little too thin.
Not to mention compared to adults, even compared to them, they are all shorter and larger, and their slender arms and legs look like they can be broken with a slight twist.
"Ghost Hand Rhodes...... Is it? ”
Some of the nearby giants also spotted Rhodes, and they all showed a bit of a different color.
As for Rhodes, the Fifth Emperor of the New World, Hairding's current service was naturally clear to them.
In their minds, Rhodes should be an extremely terrifying and terrifying figure, but now it always seems to be inexplicably funny.
It's as if normal humans often hear about a terrifying existence that reigns on the sea, only to suddenly see him one day and find that the person is a small human the size of a palm.
That's pretty much what it feels like to be funny.
"Is there a mistake?"
Someone muttered something in a whisper.
The person next to him was also stunned, and said with a little disbelief: "This ...... It's really not the same as I imagined. ”
They hadn't seen Kaido or Whitebeard, but BIGMOM had lived here for a while as a child, and BIGMOM's size wasn't much different from that of the Giants.
Does such a thin body really have the amazing strength that is rumored to have?
"I'm sorry, Lord Rhodes."
Seeing the appearance of many giants, Gelds couldn't help but look at Rhodes apologetically.
Rhodes didn't mind, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay." ”
If he saw a small human race, known as the world's top powerhouse, he would have the same suspicion and funny feeling.
"Ward!"
Just when everyone was suspicious, Hairing shouted at the muttering person, and said solemnly: "The captain's strength is ten times stronger than mine, if you doubt the captain's strength, then come and compete with me!" ”
The Giants have always been straightforward, just like the Lilliputians will listen to any lie, and the Giants have almost no concept of lying.
Hearing Hairding's words, many giant clans were a little surprised, they didn't expect Hairing to think that his strength was ten times weaker than Rhodes, they would not doubt Hairding's words, but this result was a little too unbelievable.
"Are you telling the truth? Helding......"
Giant Ward squeezed out of the crowd, tilted his head to look at Rhodes, and then turned to look at Helding, who was a giant about the same age as Hairding, and had often fought and competed with Hairing since he was a child, and later Hairing went to sea, and he stayed in Elbaf.
For Hairing's world-famous reputation outside, there are no emotions such as jealousy, and while he is happy for Hairing, he is also a little enthusiastic in his heart.
The last time I fought with Hairding was more than a decade ago.
"Don't you believe it?"
Helding stared at Ward without a smile, raised his chin slightly, and said, "Or do you want to be taught by me again?" ”
Ward grinned and said with a smile: "It's always been you who have lost a lot, Hairing, in the past ten years outside, the confidence has become very hard!" ”
As he spoke, he walked over to Hairing, intending to have a fight with him.
Seeing this, many giants next to them retreated to both sides, and they all came to see how much Helding, who had made a name for himself outside, had become stronger.
