Chapter 95: Stirring Up Hatred for the World Government
"A tsunami?"
Sengoku subconsciously repeated the word. The next moment, he fell into deep thought. He reconsidered the possibility that ten Buster Call-class warships could have been destroyed by a single tsunami.
In the end, he came to a conclusion: the possibility was extremely high.
It was not uncommon for an entire fleet to be destroyed by natural disasters such as storms, submarine volcanic eruptions, or tsunamis. So why did Sengoku believe the tsunami was part of the attack? Because he knew that a natural disaster of that scale, even in the second half of the Grand Line, would not appear without warning. If it were a naturally occurring disaster, with the skill of the navigators on the ten warships, they absolutely could have predicted a tsunami capable of destroying the fleet in advance!
Every warship from Marine Headquarters was equipped with outstanding navigators who had graduated from academies specializing in teaching navigational knowledge. Having studied the navigational knowledge accumulated by the World Government over eight hundred years, their skill level was far superior to that of the navigators equipped by many pirate crews. It was absolutely impossible for them not to have discovered a brewing natural disaster.
Therefore, Sengoku concluded that the tsunami was also part of this attack!
"Continue to monitor!" After leaving this sentence, Sengoku took out the Den Den Mushi used to contact the Five Elders and left the communications center.
Late at night, on a deserted island somewhere in the first half of the Grand Line.
A huge bonfire was lit, illuminating the surroundings and reflecting on the shimmering surface of the sea, looking like gold submerged at the bottom of the ocean, incomparably dazzling.
One by one, giants with an average height of over ten meters sat cross-legged on the beach, opposite figures who were incomparably small in comparison.
The giant Goldberg, who appeared stout and wore a horned helmet, bent his massive body and looked at Louis and the others with a wide grin. "So, what do you think of this special dish from Elbaf?"
To this, Yelena, who had been in charge of the kitchen all this time, gave the highest praise without hesitation. "It's delicious! The deliciousness of this food is very different from your seemingly rough style!"
Beside Louis, Uta tore a piece of meat from a giant beast leg and put it in her mouth. The next second, her amethyst-like eyes narrowed into crescents, and a happy smile appeared on her face. After swallowing the food, Uta gave Goldberg a thumbs-up.
Seeing this, Goldberg raised a hand and scratched his head, laughing loudly. "Of course! I was a student of the top Elbaf chef, Senior Pansy Fry! Although I haven't mastered his signature volcano cuisine yet, I'm still a rare and outstanding chef in Elbaf!"
Louis heard the words "volcano cuisine" and fell into thought. He felt he had heard that term somewhere before.
Not far away, Dorry and Brogy looked at each other and smiled. "Fry's volcano cuisine? It's been a hundred years since we've tasted it, right? It's been a long time since we've seen that guy Fry."
Just then, Hajrudin slowly took off his helmet. After taking a deep breath, he said to Dorry and Brogy, "Captain Dorry, Captain Brogy! Lord Jorul died at the hands of Charlotte Linlin. The king and Elbaf need you two now. Please, return to Elbaf!"
Hajrudin's eyes stared straight into the eyes of the two giant captains, unafraid. Under the firelight, Hajrudin told the two legendary captains everything about the current predicament of the giant race.
His own half-brother, Loki, was now rampaging in Elbaf. The other surviving giant hero was old and frail. He himself had set out to sea with his friends to become stronger, which had led to this encounter. Currently, only Dorry and Brogy could possibly stop Loki's actions.
Gerd, Rod, and the others heard this, and pained expressions appeared on their faces.
To this, Dorry and Brogy slowly put down their food and exchanged glances again. Their faces became heavy, and their voices grew deep.
"Has Elbaf really reached such a state?"
"It seems we have to go back ahead of schedule."
Dorry slowly stood up and picked up his sword. Opposite him, Brogy also picked up his giant axe.
Uta's eyes widened. "Are Dorry and Brogy going to start their duel again?" she said subconsciously.
A similar thought appeared in Kuina's mind.
However, the two of them did something that no one expected. The greatsword and the giant axe were lightly tapped together above the bonfire, letting out a clear ring. Then, smiles appeared on the two giants' faces, and their heroic voices echoed in everyone's ears.
"In that case, the battle of nearly a hundred years ends at this moment!"
"We'll go back to Elbaf and solve all this!"
The next second, the two giants' gazes met over the bonfire, and they shouted, "And then, you and I will have another duel to the death! Only the victor can resurrect the Giant Warrior Pirates and set out to sea again!!"
As their words fell, everyone froze.
Louis heard them, was taken aback for a moment, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face. He knew things would turn out this way. He just didn't know if, after they really accomplished that, they would end up fighting for a second hundred years in Elbaf.
But... "Resurrect the Giant Warrior Pirates?" A thoughtful expression appeared on Louis's face. It seems there are two giants at Enies Lobby who were tricked into guarding the gate for a long time.Kashii and Oimo. They were captured by the Marines after setting out to sea to find Dorry and Brogy and were tricked into guarding the gates of Enies Lobby.
Thinking of this, Louis's eyes gradually became profound.
Not far away, a look of relief appeared on the faces of the giants led by Hajrudin. The next second, they all raised their cups and cheered!
"..."
After the giants' cheers, Louis slowly put down his food and said two names. "Kashii. Oimo."
"Do you remember these names?"
The familiar names made Dorry and Brogy's bodies jolt. "They are our crewmates," they asked subconsciously. "Have you seen them?"
Hajrudin and the others also looked at Louis with great curiosity, wondering how he knew the names of two giants who had been missing for fifty years.
To this, Louis spoke in a deep voice, telling them everything he knew.
"They were captured by the World Government."
"The World Government claimed that the two of you had been captured and imprisoned in Impel Down. Then, using you—who were not actually in Impel Down—as leverage, they tricked Kashii and Oimo into guarding the gates at Enies Lobby."
"From the looks of it, they have been waiting in vain at Enies Lobby for fifty years."
As his words fell, Hajrudin and the others were filled with disbelief. Dorry and Brogy lowered their heads, their faces buried in shadow.
"Tricked into guarding the gates—"
"Wasted fifty years because of us—"
The air became oppressive at this moment. The legends of Elbaf could not suppress their anger. A terrifying and dangerous aura emanated from their bodies, making the giant beasts in the depths of the deserted island tremble in fear.
After a long while, the two of them raised their heads one after another, revealing two incomparably furious faces in the firelight.
"You've really done it now—"
"World Government!"
