The Pirate's Substitute Messenger

"Is... is... the red-haired devil?"

The military giant shook his head: "Prince Rocky is the red-haired Shanks. He was also the best friend of the king before his death, and also an ally of our Albaf. The devil must never be mentioned once."

But the words of the military giant seemed to have the opposite effect. Loki shrank into a ball and curled up on the throne of bones.

Many giants below showed disdain and disgust. For the giants of Elbaf, the two words timidity and fear do not exist in their dictionary.

And now sitting on the throne is the son of their late king, Prince Loki of their giant clan. He was so frightened that he cowered up just by hearing a name.

What kind of decency is this?

However, due to bloodline factors and Lokina's unfinished giant clan's traditional test, they could only endure it for the time being.

But after all, a giant couldn't help it anymore. He pulled out the huge mace behind him and smashed it on the floor. He shouted to Prince Loki on the throne: "I, Bagu, am here to greet you." Challenge, Prince Loki"

Loki, who was curled up on the throne of bones, stretched his body slightly, and looked at Bagu through the gaps in his arms, this giant who dared to challenge him.

However, with Bagu's figure close to 30 meters tall, he challenged Rocky, a 10-meter giant, and there was no need to guess anything.

Rocky said timidly, "I'm not yet an adult, you can't challenge me."

The giant military adviser on the side also stood up: "Bagu back down, what are you talking about, Prince Rocky cannot be challenged if he is not yet an adult."

But Bagu grinned: "I know, so all I want is to participate in the trial of our dear Prince Loki. I don't think this is against the rules."

"you"

Loki didn't expect Bagu to be waiting for him here. It is true that his own status as a minor did help him avoid the normal challenge, but don't forget that Loki is a prince and the man who will inherit Elbaf .

In addition to the bloodline, if you want to inherit Elbaf, you must also defeat three warriors from the clan who volunteer, and this rule can never be changed in any form.

Looking at the simple and honest Bagu's face, there was a hint of insidious success: "My dear prince, this is the family rule of our giant family. You don't even obey the family rules, do you?"

铛

The gate of the palace opened directly, and a thin and relatively short figure appeared at the door. Although his body looked much smaller than all the giants sitting there, it gave people the feeling that he was the most majestic, The domineering one.

"Red red red hair... devil..."

Prince Loki trembled again when he saw the figure at the door, as if he had seen the most terrifying demon in the world, as can be seen from the three consecutive red letters.

The person who came was none other than the red-haired Shanks. He had a well-proportioned body and extremely conspicuous red hair. His left eye was injured by Marshall D. Teach, leaving three scars. He had short stubble on his mouth. His left arm was damaged due to saving Luffy. And was bitten off by the King of the Offshore.

A white shirt, only half-buttoned, a long black cape, white cropped trousers with patterns, flip-flops on the feet, and the famous sword "Griffin" on the waist and hips.

Xia Tian on the beam frowned deeply. He never thought that he would meet Shanks in Elbaf. Combined with the words of the military adviser giant before, then everything makes sense.

"No wonder."

In fact, there have been speculations about the relationship between Shanks and Elbaf in the previous life.

First, the Five Old Stars brushed off Big Mom and Kaido during the discussion, and did not care much about them at all.But only when mentioning Shanks, the blond star once said: "If you anger that man..."

The second is how Shanks managed to fight Kaido in the New World one day during the Summit War, and then arrive at the Navy Headquarters in the first half of the Grand Line the next day.

Some people speculate that he came to Malinvando through the World Government and then the Red Earth Continent, but will the Five Old Stars really allow a complete Yonko-level pirate group to pass through Mariejoia?

Then the only thing that can be explained is the sky-high bean sprout that Elbaf saw in the summer before.

Now Xia Tian fully understands why Elbaf is called the world's most powerful country, why the single red-haired pirate group can be called the Four Emperors, everything is clear at this moment.

And just when Xia Tian was thinking about this, Shanks walked up to Loki with a smile, ignoring Bagu who was staring at him, and said, "Loki, haven't seen you for so many years, don't you say hello to me?"

"Red, red, red... hair..."

Loki spoke timidly, but he just said the word "red hair" and said no more. The military advisor giant on the side hurriedly received: "Master Shanks, you are finally back. What's going on here... "

The red-haired reached out to stop the words of the giant strategist and turned to look at Bagu: "Bagu, what do you think, why are you challenging Loki?"

Xia Tian originally thought that the red-haired Face Fruit would be of no use given the violent character of the giants, but what he never expected was that Bagu actually knelt down directly: "Master Shanks, I...I...I really They can’t see that our future king is such a cowardly and incompetent person..."

Shanks said gently: "Bagu, Loki is still young, he still has room to grow, give him some time."

"Yes"

Bagu immediately agreed, and then stood obediently beside Shanks without saying a word, while the rest of the giants also stared at Shanks enthusiastically.

Xia Tian has no doubts that if Shanks has giant blood, he probably doesn't even need to speak, as long as he gestures, these giants will automatically support Shanks on the throne of bones.

The red hair looked at Loki on the throne without any expression: "Loki, I have something important to see you this time."

But Loki didn't react at all. Fortunately, he also had a loyal dog-headed strategist. The strategist giant poked Loki, and then Loki said: "Red...Red...Shanks, just say it." .”

The strategist giant added in time: "Lord Shanks, do you need to reject the rest of the people?"

The red-haired shook his head: "No, this matter is a major event concerning the entire Elbaf. Bagu and Seth, the fighters, will know about it sooner or later."

"Is this a major event affecting the entire Elbaf?"

The giant strategist seemed to have thought of something, and his whole body trembled a little.

"Ah, you are right, war is coming."
