General had always wanted to learn the strongest technique of the Elbaf Giant Race.
Charlotte Linlin's "Weiguo" was a technique improved by imitating Bagguk, which he had seen. Now he wanted to see what the authentic Bagguk looked like.
"Bagguk!!"
Dorry and Brogy's giant swords and axes came together, their invisible power converging on the blades.
As the giant sword and giant axe slashed down simultaneously, a violent shockwave swept forth.
"Three Elements Combined·Bagguk·Cross Evil Light Wave!!"
Nox drew the Futsu no Mitama from his waist, raised his hand, and unleashed a Cross Evil Light Slash. The Cross Evil Light Slash spun rapidly in the air, forming a shockwave-like impact.
"Boom!!"
Even though it was just a casual slash from Nox, how terrifying was its power?
The Bagguk unleashed by Dorry and Brogy together was instantly overwhelmed.
Dorry and Brogy's eyes widened. They simultaneously used their weapons to block the attack, but the power of the Evil Light Wave was incredibly strong.
Their weapons and shields were directly destroyed, and even their bodies, over twenty meters tall, were instantly sent flying backward.
If Nox hadn't held back, these two Giant Race members would have been severely injured.
"Friend, you are too strong, we are not your opponents!"
After Dorry and Brogy endured the pain in their bodies and stood up, they said sincerely.
The Giant Race members are brave and responsible, and they admire the strong. Since Nox defeated them, they were convinced by him. This is a tradition of the Giant Race.
"Hahahaha, the Giant Race's Bagguk is also very powerful. This is the first time I've seen a technique that combines penetration and impact so perfectly."
"When I go to Elbaf in the future, I must ask the elders of Elbaf for guidance."
After Nox felt the sincerity of Dorry and Brogy with his Kenbunshoku Haki, he also praised them greatly.
"Gabba bababa!!"
"General, the Elbaf Giant Race will definitely welcome you to Elbaf then. The elders will definitely teach you Bagguk!!"
Brogy said happily after hearing that Nox was going to Elbaf.
Bagguk is a combat technique of the Elbaf Giant Race, and only the elders of the Elbaf Giant Race are qualified to teach others.
Therefore, even if Nox asked Brogy and Dorry now, they couldn't teach him.
"We can say we became friends through fighting. I have a lot of fine wine on my ship, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Nox immediately had people bring all the wine from the ship down.
"Jiejiejiejie, thank you very much, General. It's been a long time since we had fine wine. As a reward, I'll give you these things."
Looking at the fine wine Nox and his crew brought, Dorry immediately gave Nox the things he had confiscated after defeating pirates.
"Then I'll accept it. Come on, let's drink!!"
Nox picked up a large barrel and started drinking with Dorry and Brogy.
"I've heard of the Giant Soldier Pirates. They were a pirate group composed of the Elbaf Giant Race. They once dominated the Sea, unmatched by anyone, and were a symbol of the Elbaf Giant Race's glory. It's a pity they disbanded later."
He chatted with Dorry and Brogy while drinking.
"Huh? Did those brats disband the Giant Soldier Pirates? What a pity. Our fight hasn't been decided yet, otherwise we'd go back and see them."
Hearing Nox's words, Dorry and Brogy both sighed with emotion. Then they told Nox about their experiences on the Sea and the reason they had been fighting here.
"I think your strengths are similar, you can say you are evenly matched. The fact that you haven't decided a winner after decades proves this point."
"Even if you continue to fight for decades or even a hundred years, you won't be able to decide a winner. Wouldn't it be better to decide the winner in another way?"
Nox said opportunistically.
"Jiejiejiejie, fighting is the highest glory of our Elbaf Giant Race. We can't think of any other way to decide a winner!"
Dorry said after taking a sip of wine.
They enjoy the process of fighting and the glory of winning. This is the glory of their Giant Race!
"Gabba bababa, that's right, we Elbaf Giant Race members must prove ourselves through fighting, that is our glory!"
Brogy said.
"As far as I know, the Elbaf Giant Race is currently in a state of division, right? The various Giant Race tribes are not harmonious and haven't completely united."
"The former Giant Race Elbaf was the strongest country in the World, but after it split, the Giant Race became weaker."
"Think about it, wouldn't it be more reflective of the Elbaf Giant Race's glory if you could reintegrate the divided Elbaf Giant Race and make all the Giant Race members reconcile, rather than deciding the winner between yourselves?"
"At that time, whoever contributes the most to the process of integrating the Elbaf Giant Race will be the winner!"
Nox said.
The Giant Race was too powerful at that time, which made the World Government wary, so the World Government designed to split the Giant Race, completely dividing the original King of Elbaf into individual Giant Race tribes.
A divided country has serious internal friction, greatly limiting its strength and posing no threat to the World Government.
This state of division has lasted for hundreds of years, and no Giant has ever been able to reunite the Giant Race.
After seeing the strength of Dorry and Brogy, Nox had the idea of promoting the unification of the Giant Race.
The Giant Race and the World Government are inherently at odds, on opposing sides.
The World Government has been established for eight hundred years. Compared to humans, eight hundred years is a long time, but compared to the average lifespan of the Giant Race, which is three hundred years, it is only three generations apart.
"Make all Elbaf Giant Race members reconcile and restore the peak glory of the Elbaf Giant Race?"
Nox's words were like a wake-up call to Dorry and Brogy, making them completely sober.
As members of the Elbaf Giant Race, they valued the glory of the Giant Race more than their lives.
After hearing Nox's words, they remembered the elders telling them about the former glory of Elbaf and its current decline when they were children.
They had never thought about restoring the most glorious glory of the Elbaf Giant Race before, but instead valued their personal glory the most.
Now, they suddenly realized. Compared to the glory of the entire Elbaf Giant Race, what did their personal glory count for?
"Gabba bababa, General, you are absolutely right, we should decide the winner in a different way!"
"Dorry, do you dare to accept my new challenge? I will reunite our Elbaf Giant Race and make our Elbaf Giant Race the strongest country in the World again!"
Brogy laughed heartily.
"Jiejiejiejie, why wouldn't I dare? I, Dorry, will definitely not lose to you!!"
Dorry laughed heartily and agreed. As a member of the Giant Race, how could he refuse to restore the glory of Elbaf?
"Hahahaha, I'm looking forward to seeing the day when the Elbaf Giant Race once again shakes the World. Come on, let's drink!"
"After this, I'll send you back to the New World, back to Elbaf!"
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Nox laughed heartily.
Although he didn't know if Dorry and Brogy could do it, it didn't stop him from planning all of this.
"General, thank you for your help. When you come to Elbaf in the future, we will definitely treat you to a drink too!"
Dorry and Brogy were both very grateful to Nox for pointing out the way for them.
As members of the Giant Race, their minds are simple, and friends should be treated well.
But it is precisely because their minds are too simple that the World Government was able to easily divide Elbaf.
The World Government will definitely not agree to reuniting the Elbaf Giant Race. When the World Government takes action, that will be the time for Nox to provide assistance to the Elbaf Giant Race.
After the banquet, Nox took Dorry and Brogy and left Small Garden.
Nox did not continue along the Grand Line and return to the New World through Fish-Man Island.
Instead, he went directly to the Calm Belt, returned to the New World through the Calm Belt, and then sent a large ship to take Brogy and Dorry back to Elbaf.
After returning to Wano Country, Nox had Shakky send King Abate back to Drum Kingdom.
Anyway, ever since King Abate was tied up and followed them, his eyes were covered the whole time, and he had no idea about the Mirror World.
After returning to Wano Country, Lesley immediately got busy, as she had to make the Longevity Potion.
"Nox, I want to improve the formula for the Longevity Potion. It might waste some millennium dragon bone."
Lesley, who possessed the Medicine-Medicine Devil Fruit, had enough materials, so making the Longevity Potion was not difficult at all.
However, Lesley's ambition was not satisfied with this. Each person could only take one Longevity Potion; the second one was useless.
And the Longevity Potion could only increase lifespan by too little. Lesley wanted to improve the formula to extend the years of longevity.
If she didn't have enough millennium dragon bone, Lesley would never have had such an idea.
But since she had enough millennium dragon bone, why not be more ambitious?
She had the ability of the Medicine-Medicine Devil Fruit, which could enhance the medicinal effects of the auxiliary materials, and even make the medicinal effects of the millennium dragon bone stronger.
However, all of this needed to be tested through experiments to see if it was feasible.
"Then improve it. I believe in you!"
Naturally, Nox supported his woman in this, as he thought the Longevity Potion was only so-so.
"Thank you!"
After receiving Nox's affirmation, Lesley happily kissed Nox on the lips and then threw herself into her work.
"This girl, she's responsible for starting the fire, not extinguishing it!"
Looking at Lesley, who was completely focused on her work, Nox sighed in his heart.
He secretly circulated Life Return to suppress the excitement, then left the area, afraid he wouldn't be able to control his impulse.
The weapon factory in Wano Country, after multiple renovations, had completely taken shape.
After the weapon processing plants were built one after another, they worked day and night like automated production lines.
It looked quite like a factory in a modern city, and all emission issues had been perfectly resolved.
Within the weapon factory, there were not only automated weapon production procedures but also dedicated areas for manual forging.
According to the forging techniques passed down in Wano Country, the forging of Good Grade Swords could be done by mechanical forging.
However, the forging of Great Grade Swords could no longer be completed by machinery and could only be done manually.
Therefore, from that time on, Nox had intentionally cultivated the craftsmen of Wano Country.
"Clang clang clang!!!"
Inside the weapon factory, a young man with bloodshot eyes was holding a hammer and striking a red hot katana repeatedly.
After countless strikes and quenching, this katana was finally completed!
"Hahahaha, I forged a Good Grade Sword of the Fifty Finest Swords! I finally forged one again, and the quality this time is even better than the last!"
After completing the forging, Neil excitedly stroked the katana in his hand.
In the past, he was just an ordinary forging craftsman in Wano Country, and his family could barely make ends meet.
Later, after being recruited into the weapon factory, he was able to learn advanced forging techniques, which constantly improved his forging skills.
As his forging talent was revealed, he received high treatment. Now, his family's living standard is significantly higher than before, and his family can even be said to live like nobles.
All of this was thanks to his exquisite forging techniques and the grace of General.
"Neil, you are amazing! Including this one, you have already forged two Good Grade Swords of the Fifty Finest Swords!"
Other forging craftsmen, just like Neil, looked at him with great envy.
They could all learn those advanced forging techniques like Neil, but their current forging skills were not as high as Neil's.
"Hahahaha, this is all thanks to General. If General hadn't taught me those advanced forging knowledge, I wouldn't have grown so fast."
Neil said humbly with a smile after hearing everyone's praise.
"I just provided you with a little help. The achievements you have made now are all the result of your own efforts!"
Just then, Nox, who had just come to inspect the weapon factory, happened to see this scene.
"General!"
Hearing Nox's voice, all the craftsmen present bowed in greeting.
"I remember your name is Neil, right? You are very good. From now on, all your benefits will be doubled!"
"Also, I will personally reward you with an Zoan-type Devil Fruit. I hope you can forge a Great Grade Sword of the Twenty-One Great Grade Swords in the future!"
Nox walked over, patted Neil on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction.
He cultivated these craftsmen hoping they could forge Great Grade Swords of the Twenty-One Great Grade Swords, and even Supreme Grade Swords of the Twelve Supreme Grade Swords.
Looking at the situation now, putting Supreme Grade Swords aside for the moment, they should be able to forge Great Grade Swords within a few years at least.
"Thank you, General! I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations!"
Neil said excitedly after hearing Nox's words.
Although he was from Wano Country, after several years of popularization, he already knew how precious Devil Fruit are.
Every Devil Fruit is worth a sky-high price and can grant people terrifying power like that of monsters.
