Chapter 344: The Giant Court
huge
Everything looks very huge in the city.
Rossi and Gion walk in the city called 'Oslo' like small animals walking in a normal human city. Like the protagonist of "Gulliver's Travels", there are constantly giant pillar-like thighs whistling past him.
Surrounded by rough tall buildings, all around are giant warriors wearing horned helmets, holding huge round shields, and carrying axes and swords.
At the same time, there are also many human beings in strange costumes, all of whom are 'strong' at first glance.
"Well, it seems that Elbaf does not reject the seafarers, provided that—"
Must be a master!
"Come with me and take you to the royal court."
In fact, there is no need for Taran to lead, following the direction of the flow of people, the place where the aura of the strong gathers, and the giant bunker-like building at the end of the rock building, which is up to a kilometer high, there is no doubt that it is the 'royal court' of the giant clan.
"It's huge..."
When the three of them came to this 'royal court', even the well-informed Rossi and Gion couldn't help but look up at the giant palace in front of them.
What is the concept of kilometer height?
The tallest building in Rossi's previous life, said to be Dubai's 'Burj Khalifa', is 828 meters high.
But it was a slender building like a long sword, like a carrot and a rice cooker compared to the vast temple in front of me.
"Let's go,"
Rossi tilted his head towards the nearby Gion and was the first to step up the 'staircase', each of which was three meters high.
In front of this super super super giant building, ordinary people are as small as ants, even if they are giants, they are just 'rats' under the building, and most of the people who witness this building will be shocked by this terrifying height.
It's like a palace of the gods!
But for Rossi, the building is magnificent, but when he is used to seeing the 800-meter colossus of Pica, it feels like that. On the contrary, it was the undisguised strong aura in it that made him care more.
Leaping through these hundreds of steps, Rossi and Gion landed in front of a 'gate' the width of several football fields, and the gate was wide open—
No, it should be said that this temple-like building has no gate at all, and the huge space extends inside, and at the same time, there is a heroic laughter.
"Hehehehe, this is a little bit of our Charlotte family's heart, please don't shirk."
"Hahaha, the king will accept it!"
In the frighteningly wide hall there was a huge throne, on which sat a tall and burly man.
He wears an eagle helmet on his head, his body is dressed in gold armor, his muscles are like a statue, his red robe is like blood behind him, and he is leaning on a spear twisted like a tree branch next to him, and his long beard drags to his chest, typical of the appearance of the giants:
Rough, heroic, and tough.
Facing a large number of precious wines from the small tall and thin man in front of him, the Giant King stretched out his hand happily.
"Find a place to sit, Perospero of the Charlottes."
"Thank you,"
Seeing that the Giant King was in a good mood, Perospero also stepped back with a smile on his face and licked the lollipop cane in his hand.
In order to ease the relationship with the Giant Clan, the Charlotte family has persistently 'licked' the Giant Clan for so many years, and finally let the relationship between the two sides come out of the shadow of decades ago.
Presumably my mother will be very happy too——?!
"Isn't this the Roxinidi of the Don Quixote family? Beside you is..."
Perospero, who had stepped back from the front of the throne, saw the three Rossi who had entered the giant hall, and his eyes flashed.
Taran naturally knew him, although he was only a half-giant, but the Charlotte family had also made friends with each other; Rossi is also well aware that he clashed with Charlotte's family on Hive Island some time ago, and finally reached a truce agreement.
As for the girl in the navy coat, Perospero recognized the other party as soon as his mind turned:
"Brigadier General Gion, are you also here for Prince Loki's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"Hehehe, alone?"
Facing Perospero's malicious gaze, Rossi glanced at the 'long-tongued' man.
"Alright, do you Charlotte family dare to start a war in the Giant Court? Besides—"
Have you ever beaten Gion?
Wait, Charlotte Perospero is in her 30s at this time, and she is in her prime, and Gion may not be able to beat him steadily.
Seeing Perospero's long tongue, Rossi thought of another long-tongued man: Vegapunk. It is rumored in the sea that Lao Bei also had a leg with his aunt in order to raise research funds... Of course, it's just a rumor.
"What about me? Rosinandi. ”
The white-haired girl next to Perospero took a few steps forward, carrying the super-long sword in her hand with a confident expression.
"Paddler... Ahem, it's Smuji. ”
Seeing several of Charlotte's children surrounding him, Rosie stepped forward.
"Brigadier General Gion came with me, if you dare to make a move, don't blame me for being rude."
"-Give me face, don't make trouble here."
"Hehehehe, the face of the two kings of the Don Quixote family, we must give it."
Slender in shape, with a pointed face and heavy makeup, wearing a long coat with a light yellow coat collar, and holding a candy cane, Perospero reached out to stop his younger siblings behind him.
As the leader turned to leave, the first son of the Charlotte family glanced at Rosie meaningfully.
"Mr. Rosinandi, who is a friend and who is an enemy should be considered clearly: don't forget the agreement with your mother."
···
"What agreement?"
After the Charlotte family left, Gion asked curiously, but reacted immediately.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
Although the Don Quixote family does not rob or kill indiscriminately, their identity has always been in a kind of 'gray' realm. With the complicated relationship between the Don Quixote family and the world government, it is normal to be characterized as a 'pirate' at any time.
World Government: I said you're a pirate, you're a pirate!
So it is very normal for Rossi and others to have dealings with the Charlotte family.
And Gion, as a well-established navy, would be very taboo to rashly inquire about the agreement between the two legendary forces, if it weren't for Rosie and her knowing each other since childhood, she wouldn't have blurted it out subconsciously.
"Nothing,"
"It's the Charlotte family who is preparing to marry our family."
With Charlotte Lingling's character, she has always liked to use 'marriage' to expand her power: many of the subordinate pirates in the Charlotte Pirates are married to her daughter's 'son-in-law'.
But with the power of the Don Quixote family, even if it is really married, it is at most mutually beneficial. Of course, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet.
"Marriage,"
Gion's strange gaze fell on Rosie, and after thinking about it, he shook his head to himself.
With Rossi's strength, who in the Charlotte family is worthy of him, Charlotte Lingling's aunt? It's impossible, it's almost the same as staging a death match between the two families on the spot.
That's everyone else,
At the same time that Gion breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, on the other side:
"Hehehehehe, he is worthy of being the man who praised Katakuri and hurt his mother."
Licking the lollipop in his hand, Perospero glanced at Rosie who had found a random place for Gion to sit down with out of the corner of his eye.
"How's it going, Smuji?"
"Are you confident that you can take him?"
"It's too early to say that,"
The white-haired girl Smuji couldn't help but sigh, although the marriage of the children in the Charlotte family is decided by the mother, coupled with the feeling of 'the eldest brother is like a father', and most of the younger brothers and sisters were taken care of by Perospero. But it's about your future:
"I've only met that man twice in total, and besides..."
Rosinandi, is it so easy to 'control'?
"Just make good use of your fruit powers—"
"Brother Perospero!"
Faced with the angry Smuji, Perospero put away his joke and became serious.
"Alright, no kidding."
"If my mother is really going to marry the Don Quixote family, the goal must be two kings. And Doflamingo already has a lover, and only Rosinandi has this option. ”
"The strongest woman in our family is you."
If you send a weak daughter to marry, you can't even keep your family status, so why talk about relying on the strength of the other party?
"I understand, Brother Perospero."
The girl with long white wavy hair, Smuji, nodded, she was the most talented and hardworking among the women in the family, although she was only 15 years old, she was already far ahead of a group of older sisters.
If someone had to stand up for the family, it would be her!
"Don't worry, I don't hate that Rosinandi."
Actually, even if you hate it, what?
As long as his mother gives an order, unless Smuji has the courage to wander the sea alone, he can only obediently accept his life.
————
In the hall, there are a lot of not-so-huge seats.
Rosie and Gion sat down casually, and Gion pointed to a man.
"Look, that's the maritime tycoon 'Deep Current' Umet, and his crew."
Although Rosie is 'well-informed', most of them are based on comics from his previous life. And this world is not only the characters who appear in the comics, nor is it except for the 'Four Emperors', 'Three Generals', and 'Seven Martial Seas' that are all weak chickens.
Otherwise, the Navy would not have made a world conscription, so it got two generals out.
So instead of Gion, he introduced the 'special people' among the guests.
Known as 'Deep Current' Umet, he was a man in a captain's coat with a huge anchor painted on his hat, a large beard covering half of his face.
He looks like a weather-beaten captain, but he's followed by several half-fishmen, and they're all very impressive.
"Rosie, do you know the special current in the sea called 'White Dragon'?"
"Hmm,"
Rosie nodded, when they passed through Fish-Man Island before, Rosie and the others had seen the 'White Dragon' once, and they directly arrived in the sea near Dressrosa through that.
The so-called 'White Dragon' is a hollow whirlpool located at the bottom of the sea, and it is a disaster that ordinary ships cannot avoid.
"But Umet has a large number of half-fishmen in his hands, and his family's special ships, he can use the 'White Dragon' to travel quickly from the bottom of the sea to all parts of the New World."
In this way, you can avoid pirates and sea beasts, and you can also transport goods at high speeds, which is the unique business of the 'deep current' Umet.
If it weren't for the difficulty of building special ships, and the possibility of hitting island whales in the deep-sea whirlpool 'White Dragon', Umet might have monopolized the shipping of the entire New World.
Even so, this man has become an elder with this secret technique.
"That's Piecro, the 'Big Hand Mortician Funeral Director'."
Gion pointed to a man with a clown mask, overalls with plenty of pockets, and a scythe in his hand. Behind him was a group of gloomy men in black robes with crow masks.
"Although they are 'funeral directors' who give funerals to the dead, if the price is right, they don't mind turning the living into death first, and then charging 'funeral fees'."
To put it simply, it's a group of guys who specialize in scavenging corpses and making corpses at the same time.
Those who can sit in this hall are either the elite of the giant clan or the representatives of the powerful forces on the sea. As the personnel continued to arrive, they sent gifts one after another, and the Giant King smiled at them.
As the minutes passed, no one came, and the king of the Giants stood up.
"Bring it!"
As he stretched out his hand, two giants next to him immediately carried a thick building... Log stepped forward.
With the strength of a giant, two people are needed, which shows that the density of this log is very large!
syllable
Reaching for the huge log, the giant king 'Fabuti' shook it in his hand. It makes many people who come to the Giant Court for the first time subconsciously tense their muscles.
Such a huge, such a quality log, the strength is no less than steel, if the opponent swept in with a stick...
There must be a lot of casualties!
"Drink!"
With a loud roar, the giant tree in his hand was raised, and there was a sound of getting up.
However, the giant tree was not used to attack the guests, and Rosie, who had already seen the other party's next move, raised his eyebrows, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
Because:
As the Giant King grabbed the two sections of the log with both hands and pressed it suddenly, the pitch-black domineering energy instantly kneaded the steel-like log into plasticine, and quickly collapsed to the middle!
At the same time, the domineering armament color released from the outside binds the mass of the log from exploding outward, and can only be continuously compressed, compressed, and compressed again in the pitch-black lightning, as if the whole world is collapsing violently with the log as the core.
????
In the horrified eyes of many first-time visitors, the huge log was actually compressed into the palm of the giant king, and the pitch-black lightning crackled, and the log became red, like steel being smelted.
syllable
As the Giant King's hands finally closed, the terrifying heat baked the air like a mirage, and the guests in the entire hall felt violently dry mouths, as if they were beside a steel forge.
Even his clothes and hair began to burn out of thin air, and this was only the aftermath of the Giant King's 'gassho' action.
Could it be...
"Look,"
As the Giant King spread out his hand, in his huge palm as large as a house, was a grinding disc-large, crystal-clear solidified substance. Shining with a sturdy glow.
"Diamonds?!"
Nicknamed 'Deep Current', Umit stood up suddenly, and saw that the Giant King's appearance of preparing to 'do something' did not frighten him, but the object in his palm made him start.
As a giant of New World Shipping, what treasure has he not seen?
Diamonds are often touched: the hardness of diamonds is second only to Hailou stone, if it is not because the number is too scarce, it is not used to make ring ornaments, but used to make armor and weapons.
Well, in the future, a certain 'East China Sea Overlord' will have a pair of fist gloves inlaid with diamonds, which are claimed to be indestructible.
Such a large piece of diamond, a rare treasure!
"This king has no other ability, that is, a lot of strength."
The Giant King laughed and threw the huge diamond in his hand and slammed it on the floor of the hall with a thud, attracting everyone's attention, and even Gion's eyes lit up, making Rossi look sideways.
Sure enough, women, like dragons, like this shiny thing.
"This kind of thing is of little use to us giants, but it should be of some value to you seafarers."
The giant king, who had performed a 'hand-pinched diamond', clapped his hands.
"Since it's a celebration, of course there must be prizes."
"The diamonds I made myself should be regarded as the glory of the champion of the 'Martial Arts Festival'."
