One Piece: The Eternal Flame

Most of the warriors of the giant clan came from the warrior village of Elbaf, and most of the village were fierce and warlike giants.

There are often people fighting each other, so the arena for the competition is easy to find.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Yalulu is indeed very old. Ever since he confronted Gray with a move, he couldn't stop himself from coughing.

"This is Panz Frye, this is Hayerdin, and Cerbana are new stars in our village."

"The god of Elbaf will favor the victor!" The young man known as Helding bumped his fists together, quite excited about the upcoming battle.

Frye is a rare and gentle giant. He heard people say that he prefers cooking to fighting. In the future, he even wants to leave the village and go to the outside world to cook for others.

Serbana, like Helding, couldn't wait to agree as soon as he heard that there was a fight.

The giants have their own beliefs. They believe in the god of the sun, and they believe that the sun god will favor the side that wins the battle.

Gray doesn't care much about the outcome of the battle, maybe Oden will lose, but Whitebeard and Ace will definitely win.

The first match was between Oden and Helding.

Halding's weapon is a metal gauntlet wrapped around a huge arm, attacking the opponent with the strength that the giants are naturally stronger than ordinary people.

Yu Tian drew out Tian Yu Yu Zhan and Yan Mo from his waist. The blades of the two knives were white and shiny, reflecting a cold light under the light. Anyone could tell at a glance that these two knives were absolutely extraordinary.

A child, Helding doesn't take him seriously, he would rather fight against Ace or Whitebeard.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, according to the rules of the giant race, as long as he wins this round, he can continue to fight in the ring until he loses the game.

At first he thought so, but when he fought, he was shocked.

When the fist collided with the blade, his charged blow did not push Mi Tian Zhen away as easily as he had imagined.

This boy's strength was astonishingly terrifying, and his speed was also very fast.

Oden knew that he could not win in terms of strength, so he focused on speed, he turned over and jumped up, "Taoyuan Shirataki!"

The sharp edges of the two knives seemed to divide the whole world into two.

Haierding took this powerful slash with his gauntlet, but he didn't suffer any damage.

However, most of his original intention to underestimate the enemy has disappeared. The two have fought several times in the arena, each with injuries, and each with progress.

Haierding shouted: "Next, I will let you try the most proud martial art of our Giant Kingdom - Hegemony!"

Hegemony?

Yu Tian was vigilant in his heart, but he didn't lose the wind in the slightest. He crossed his two knives in front of him, and the blades were wrapped around Liu Ying.

When the opponent made the strongest blow, he also used his own move at the same time, "Taoyuan Ten Punches!"

Like a shooting star piercing through the sky, the power of the cross is unstoppable.

Colliding with Helding's hegemony, a dazzling light and a huge shock wave erupted.

Ace stood in front of Lujiu, blocking all the impact.

After the aftermath dissipated, Yutian and Haierding fell to the ground at the same time, their clothes were torn, obviously injured by the opponent's attack, and no one benefited.

In all honesty, at Oden's current age, it's terrifying to be able to fight like this with a giant star warrior.

The child was healed of his injuries, and got up from the ground dejectedly.

Just when everyone thought he was troubled by the victory or defeat, he said angrily: "Damn it, we will take a lot less in the future!"

"You're actually struggling with this." Ace said helplessly, "I thought you were hit because of the draw."

"I won't be hit!" Yu Tian yelled: "If you lose, keep working hard, and I will definitely win back in the future!"

"What a samurai needs is not winning or losing, but the courage to continue to climb up after the battle!"

"Gu la la la, well said." White Beard laughed loudly, obviously pleased because of Mitian's words to his appetite.

He walked up to the stage holding Cong Yunqie, "Brother Yu Tian, ​​let me take back the missing materials!"

There was no suspense in the battle between Whitebeard and Serbana, he didn't even use his ability to shake the fruit, he just slashed Cong Yunqie and knocked his opponent off the ring.

The winner can continue to defend the ring, but White Beard glanced at Ace who was waving his hands, and then walked down from the ring, leaving the final battle to him.

"fire punch!"

"Yang Yan!"

"Shen Huo Shiranui!"

Different from Whitebeard's forbidden battle, the biggest characteristic of Ace and Oden is that they like to give their moves fancy names.

Gray, who was watching the battle, was a little eager to try. He sat next to Yalulu, with one leg shaking slightly due to excitement.

Yalulu glanced at him, speechless, was he so excited to snatch their food?This is simply a premeditated crime.

Alfred got annoyed and kicked up, "Don't shake."

Gray rubbed his calf aggrievedly, and quickly recovered when Ace called out the name of a move again.

He moved to Alfred's side, and said excitedly: "Fred, don't you think I should properly name my trick?"

There are already many alternatives in his mind.

Alfred simply interrupted his fantasy, "Just you, don't even think about it."

"Why can't I think!"

"Their naming skills are still somewhat advanced. Your naming skills can only reveal your own idiot."

Yes, yes, well said!
Everyone couldn't help applauding in their hearts. Although they didn't like and accept Alfred's return, this person had the only advantage that none of them had.

Just dare to tell the truth.

Gray has always been blind and extremely confident about his naming level. Everyone knows it well, but they still support it every time.

This has been the case since before, the so-called 'flame kill' that Gray has been using - that is, all the moves have this name, and it was also taken out by Alfred four years ago from the 'hot black dragon's breath kills everything'.

At that time, Alfred grabbed Gray's collar, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to shout in the future, just say Yansha, and just say the real name you chose in your own heart!"

"Yes, yes, don't be so angry hahahaha."

Although Gray didn't understand where Alfred was angry, he still didn't say the names of those strange moves since then.

"Tch, you don't know what a way to increase combat power by calling out the names of moves during battle." Gray complained angrily.

"All I know is that if you do that, the papers will say you're an idiot."

"Impossible, they will surely brag about me, and then it will become a fashion!"

"Oh, your brain turns very fast at such a time."

"Because I'm smart!"

When the two were bickering, the battle on the ring had come to an end.

Like Helding, in the final moment of the lore, Frye also used the giant's proud martial arts.

"The strongest spear of the Giants that can break through everything except the blood-stained serpent - Overlord!" Frye and Ace's flames collided together.

Gray heard it, and immediately said: "Look, even the giants call the name of the move like this!"

"This is not a move, but a description of this move handed down from ancient times." Yalulu said with a smile: "It is said that this move has been practiced to the ultimate level, except for the legendary blood-stained snake, everything can break through."

"What is the blood-stained snake?" Oden ran over as soon as he heard the story.

Gray was also curious, and said unceremoniously to Yalulu, "Hey old man, you must have known many secrets of the giant race after living for so many years."

Yalulu looked away from the battlefield, and looked at the pirate captain who was not as high as his knees, "You want to know more than just the secrets of the giants."

Having lived for so long, he can see a person clearly with just one glance.

The first time I met Gray, he was full of vigor and arrogance.

But seeing him again this time, he has a heavy sense of fate and the firmness and determination to do something.

"Hahahahaha." Gray laughed, "Anyway, tell us all the fun things."

"The last time I came here, I asked you why there is a towering tree here. You said that it is a symbol of Elbaf and has something to do with the country's legend."

"I wonder now what that myth was about," Gray recalls.

Elbaf has a huge tree. They also knew from this towering tree that the island belonged to Elbaf. It is said that this is an existence older than the village.

Yalulu thought for a while and said, "We have always called it the World Tree."

The precious tree Adam, the Yang tree Eve, the Omniscient Tree of O'Hara, the Whale Tree of Zou, and now the World Tree of Elbaf.

"It is said that the giant race once participated in a great battle, and many giants died in battle. The sun god helped the remaining giants come here to Elbaf, but at that time Elbaf was entrenched with a huge poisonous snake, Yermungandr."

"The Sun God defeated Jormungandr and threw it into the endless deep sea. Since then, we have been able to recuperate here. However, the Sun God left a prophecy and left soon."

"The huge sea snake that can surround the world keeps biting the roots of the World Tree until one day when it can finally bite off the World Tree, the twilight of the gods will come."

Everyone was attracted by Yalulu's story, and it wasn't until a while after he finished telling that Oden asked, "What is Ragnarok?"

Yalulu shook his head, "I don't know, but I'm sure I won't see it. The roots of the World Tree go deep into the bottom of the sea, and it's impossible to verify whether there are giant snakes inside."

"That's it." Gray thought for a while, "That battle is probably the final chapter of a 100-year blank."

The deeper you go, the more information and clues you get, but everything is still covered in a hazy fog, no matter how you fiddle with it, you can't see the truth inside.

"But I know one thing very well." Yalulu looked at Gray, implying something.

"No matter what you want to do, it should not be now. Before the dawn of dawn, any effort will be sacrificed and wasted in vain in the dark."

He obviously knew more things, but he couldn't speak what he shouldn't say.

Gray took a deep breath and stood up, "Okay, prepare the materials we won, old man, you don't want to renege on your debt, do you?"

"Hmph, it's just food, and Elbaf can't afford to lose!" Yalulu frowned, and Gray obviously didn't listen to his words.

When the food was packed and loaded onto the boat, and about to set off, Gray lay on the side of the boat and shouted to Yalulu, "Maybe there will be no chance to meet next time."

"Yes." Yalulu's time is running out, and he knows it well.

It may take a few years to meet again after this farewell in the sea. By then, he must have become the nourishment of the earth just like Yorulu.

"If you don't work hard in the dark, maybe the dawn won't come."

A gust of sea breeze blew past, bringing the whistling sound of the wind, scraping the sails and flags, and making a rustling noise when the leaves collided. Countless birds flapped their wings and flew to the top of the tree as if they were frightened by something.

Gray's voice was not heard by Yaluru in this noisy environment.

When the wind died away, he heard only Gray's words, "Sail—set sail!"

There is no chance to meet next time, he suddenly felt that perhaps what Gray was referring to was not just him.

-

"Captain, I'm so uncomfortable." San Juan Wolf, known as a huge battleship, was too huge compared to the entire pirate ship because of his huge body. Naturally, he couldn't stand on the deck like everyone else.

He was originally a giant, but because he ate the giant fruit, his height doubled again, and his whole body was as huge as an island.

"There are fish in the sea biting me." He rambled, his whole body wrapped in bubble wrap, holding the ship in both hands, and swimming towards the fishman island.

"Persist a little longer, evil wolf." The pirates smiled gloatingly, "When we get to Murloc Island, we can destroy it as you like."

"You don't need to tell me this, but there are fish biting me now, Captain."

"Stop your complaints, wolf." Lockes couldn't bear to be bothered, and stopped San Juan's chatter in a sharp voice.

The latter is good everywhere, but he has been pushing the city for a long time, and he always likes to complain.

San Juan shut his mouth, and took the ship into the turbulent downcurrent.

Safely crossing the ocean current, you can reach the beautiful Murloc Island, which inevitably made these pirates shout excitedly.

"Rox!"

"Rox!"

"Rox!"

The bottom of the sea seemed to be having a carnival feast, and the pirates held up their weapons, making the name Rocks resound through the deep and dark bottom of the sea.

Occasionally, a few huge Neptunes with companions cast their gazes over.

"The visitor is not good."

"Every pirate who comes here is like this."

"The Fishman Island will be in disaster."

"Do you want to take the Ark away? If it gets involved, it will be terrible."

"There are still decades before our king will be born."
