"Who are you? Don't stop us from challenging Mr. Nox!"
Helding and the other Giant Race kids asked when they saw the little ones blocking their way.
"We are Father's child. If you want to challenge my Father, you must defeat us first to be qualified to challenge our Father."
Esdeath said with a serious face, mimicking what Uncle Barrett had said earlier.
However, on her tender and cute cheeks, Nox couldn't see any seriousness; instead, she looked adorably silly.
"My name is Helding. What's your name? I want to challenge you. After I defeat you, I still want to challenge Mr. Nox!"
Helding stepped forward and pointed at Esdeath, who was at the very front. He wanted to challenge the one standing at the front, who seemed to be the leader of this group of little ones!
"Hmph, my name is Esdeath. I am Father's eldest daughter, and I will not lose!"
Esdeath stepped forward, then instantly changed her stance. Her Great Mouth True God Human-Beast form was revealed, radiating a chilling aura that was completely unlike her previous milky voice and appearance.
"Oh? You've already mastered the Human-Beast form? That's fast."
Nox looked at Esdeath with some surprise and said, after all, it hadn't been long since Esdeath ate the Devil Fruit. It was surprisingly fast for her to master the Human-Beast form so quickly. This made Nox feel that his daughter's aptitude was quite good.
"Ah, take my punch!"
Helding charged forward directly, like child fighting, without any moves, just throwing wild punches.
"Ah, I'm going to defeat you!"
Esdeath didn't care about anything either, she raised her fist and punched back.
A big and a small fist collided, and a huge force erupted from Esdeath's small body.
After knocking Helding back with one punch, she quickly leaped forward, throwing another punch at Helding's face, completely knocking him to the ground.
The intense pain made Helding's entire head feel dizzy.
"You're strong. I lost. I'll come back to challenge you next time, Esdeath!"
After a while, Helding rubbed his aching cheeks and head, sat up with difficulty, and said to Esdeath in front of him with a stubborn look.
"Hmph, the people I, Esdeath, have defeated can never catch up to me. Even if you come again next time, I will be the winner!"
Esdeath looked at Helding admitting defeat, proudly raised her little chin, and said with a proud and smug look.
"This feeling is so cool. No wonder Uncle Barrett and the others like fighting with the Giant Race so much. This is simply too cool!"
Although she was very proud on the surface, Esdeath was extremely excited inside.
"Oh my, oh my, I, I am also Father's daughter. My name is Rhea. Does anyone want to challenge me?"
Seeing her older sister steal the show, Rhea also quickly ran to the Giant Race kids and raised her hand, afraid that these Giant Race kids would only challenge her older sister and not her.
"I am Father's son. My name is Gaenie. I want to challenge you!"
"And me, my name is Drake."
"My name is Valent."
After seeing Rhea's actions, Gaenie and the others couldn't hold back either. Before, the Giant Race kids were asking to challenge them, but now they were actively challenging those Giant Race kids.
"Ga ba ba ba ba, Nox, your child are really amazing. As expected of your child."
Brogy laughed heartily as he watched Esdeath and the others beat the Giant Race kids until they cried out.
"Of course, they are my child, they must be the most outstanding!"
Nox was in a very good mood when he heard Brogy and the others praising his child. As a Father, who could refuse others praising his child?
"By the way, Dorry, Brogy, this is a gift from me to you. This is called Gravity Homies, which can regulate gravity."
"If you wear them and overcome five or even ten times the gravity, your strength will definitely become even stronger."
Nox took out two Gravity Homies and put them on Dorry's hands, explaining to them how to use the Gravity Homies.
"Jie jie jie jie jie, Nox, you are truly our close friend. With this, our strength will definitely become even stronger!"
Dorry said excitedly after hearing what Nox said.
The Giant Race most admire strong power. Adult Giant Race members possess strength comparable to a Vice Admiral, and through acquired combat and training, the two of them now possess strength comparable to an Admiral.
But they have reached their limit here. To continue increasing their strength, it is no longer possible with ordinary methods.
Gravity Homies regulate gravity. For the Giant Race's massive bodies, the pressure of gravity is even greater than for humans.
After all, under the same gravity, the Giant Race bears more than ten times the pressure of humans because the Giant Race's height and weight are at least ten times that of humans.
It can be said that the Giant Race benefits the most from gravity training.
"Hahaha, you said we are close friends, so it's only right for me to give you something."
"In the future, if there are more Gravity Homies, I will also include them in the trade with Elbaf."
Nox laughed.
His relationship with Elbaf is very good now, and the Giant Race is hostile to the World Government. Increasing the strength of the Giant Race is only good for him, not bad.
"Oh, right, look, I almost forgot. This is something the Giant King knew you were a Swordsman, so he asked me to give it to you, saying you would definitely like it."
Dorry took out a long stone box from behind and handed it to Nox.
Nox opened the box curiously, wanting to see what was inside.
"A sword?"
Nox looked at the sword in the box, took it out, held the hilt, and drew the sword from the scabbard in one smooth motion.
"Buzz!!!"
However, after drawing the sword, a strong, eerie, and piercing aura surged from the hilt into Nox's body.
It was a kind of demonic power, a power of curse, and also a Sword Intent, a will that existed within this sword. Only by subduing this will could this sword be used.
"Hmph!!"
Just when this consciousness wanted to erode Nox and make him its sword slave, the three Sword Intents on Nox's body surged out strongly, instantly suppressing this sword.
Then Nox closed his eyes and carefully comprehended the will within this sword.
Every famous sword, more or less, retains the will, or rather, the Sword Intent, of the previous owners who used these swords.
A large part of the reason many swordsmen pursue famous swords is the hope that they can comprehend new insights into the sword road from those famous swords, allowing their sword road to advance further.
This method is correct. There have also been many swordsmen who, not long after obtaining famous swords, broke through their current sword road realm and ascended to higher realms.
Nox is the same. He possesses numerous Supreme Grade Swords and Great Swords. He has carefully comprehended the sword road insights contained in each sword.
The insights given to him by many famous swords are essential for his sword road to progress so quickly.
The feeling this sword gave him was extremely strange, bloodthirsty, and also very peculiar, very powerful, very ancient, and this was a true enchanted sword!
"So it's this, Supreme Grade Swords Yōtō Muramasa!"
After a long time, Nox finally opened his eyes and saw the words "Muramasa" on the blade.
He didn't expect that this cursed enchanted sword would be obtained by the Giant Race and now be transferred into his hands.
Including this Yōtō Muramasa, he now has 4 Supreme Grade Swords in his hands.
The Supreme Grade Swords he currently knows are: Riefu Ryusui, Yōtō Muramasa, Futsu no Mitama, First Generation Ghost Tormentor, Shura, Ace, griffin, Murakumogiri, and the future Admiral Fujitora's cane sword Black Road Fire Line, and the future Hawkeye's black sword Night, a total of 10.
And his Seven Star Sword is not a Supreme Grade Swords, it's just an enchanted sword with power not inferior to a Supreme Grade Swords. He doesn't know if he will see more than 12 Supreme Grade Swords in the future.
"Jie jie jie jie jie, as expected of you, Nox, to tame this enchanted sword so quickly."
Dorry looked at Nox with clear eyes and couldn't help but praise him.
"Hahaha, Dorry, thank the Giant King for me. I really like this enchanted sword. I still have three Gravity Homies here, so please give them to the Giant King for me."
"Next time the Limitless Pirates come for trade, I will have someone send over a few more Gravity Homies, and also send you more Royal strong wine."
Nox gladly accepted the Giant King's gift. As a Swordsman, he would not refuse a Supreme Grade Swords!
"Ga ba ba ba ba, that's great, we Giant Race like strong wine."
Brogy's eyes lit up when he heard Nox's words. They had seen Nox's numerous fleets, so when he said he would send more, it definitely wouldn't be just a little, but the amount of several ships, or even more than ten ships!
"By the way, Dorry, Brogy, I want to recruit some Elbaf giants to join the Limitless Pirates. I wonder if that's possible?"
Nox asked. The giants of Elbaf are very powerful fighters, so he naturally wanted to recruit them.
"Ga ba ba ba ba, Nox, of course you can. Your name is now more famous than mine and Dorry's in Elbaf."
"If you announce that you want to recruit people, many giants will definitely want to follow you."
"Challenging the strong, admiring the strong, following the strong, becoming the strong, has always been the belief of our Elbaf!"
Brogy laughed heartily.
"That's great. I'll find them later and fight them, and then get them onto my ship!"
Hearing this, Nox immediately became excited and began to prepare to practice some body art.
Nox stayed in the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf for a whole month. All day long, besides drinking and chatting, he was fighting. Nox even learned various body arts such as the Eight Impact Fist, and then used the Giant Race as sparring partners.
It can be said that in this month, Nox fought with all the giants in the entire Giant Race and gained a lot.
