One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix.

The Giant Kingdom is located among the mountains. Unlike the villages that mainly use trees to build their homes, this city is made of a large number of polished giant stones, each of which is several meters high.

The city's gate is a towering arched structure, wide enough to accommodate four or five giants passing through at the same time. High on the smooth and flat city wall, a flag with a blue background and gold edges that symbolizes the giants stretches in the wind.

After walking through the gate into the city, there are scattered shops open on both sides of the street that can accommodate dozens of carriages, and occasionally a few female giants walk in and out.

On the contrary, there were noisy sounds coming from the house with the pub sign.

"Although the giants live long lives, their reproductive capabilities are generally not strong, otherwise this place would be more lively." Loki chuckled as he listened to the cheers in the tavern.

Apparently, he's a regular here too.

"Loki, how many adult giants are there in the giant race currently?" An asked curiously.

The giants are different from other races. They advocate force and are born warriors. Even without systematic training, adult giants with natural supernatural powers have a strength that is not inferior to that of ordinary naval lieutenants.

For An, who is about to challenge the world government head-on, every one of them is a walking war machine.

"157 people." Loki said.

Knowing An's character, he has nothing to hide.

"Your Highness Loki, the banquet has been arranged!"

On both sides of the palace gate made of heavy oak, two giant guards armed with weapons saw the visitor and slowly pushed open the brown door.

The moment he stepped through the gate, An could clearly see the magnificent history and magical legends about the giants on the oak gate full of traces of history and time.

In the center area at the top, there is a white figure leaping under the sun.

Sun God Nika, a free liberation fighter, a belief that the giants have not changed for thousands of years.

Passing through the green courtyard of the palace, taking advantage of the shade brought by the lush green leaves of the giant trees, the group stepped into a huge banquet hall that was extremely spacious and bright inside.

The ceiling is so high that it is almost invisible, and the walls are carved with various complicated patterns. Huge stone pillars stand in all directions of the hall. In the center of the pillars carved with the totems of the giants, there are a large amount of food and carvings. seats.

"Everyone, please take a seat!" Loki invited everyone to sit down.

It has to be said that although the giants are rough-looking and seem to have no brains, they are quite thoughtful in doing things.

Not only are normal human-sized seats prepared, but even the food is divided into small pieces to take care of the guests' emotions as much as possible.

An looked around and saw that in addition to the giant king Odin he had seen before, several other giants with strong auras appeared.

At this time, Shanks came to An's side and introduced them one by one: "Do you see the guy over there wearing a horned hat and a scar on his face? He is the great elder of the giant clan, second only to His Majesty Odin. The strong one."

"The guy with a round face and a beard on the left is the second elder of the giant clan and the head of the warrior village Elbaf."

"The guy with sparse hair and a big belly on the right is the third elder of the giant clan. He is responsible for managing food. He is the one who raises the giant dragon."

boom--!

The wooden wine glass was smashed down hard, and the entire table was shaken violently by the blow.

"Shanks kid, take that guy away from me quickly!!"

The third elder, who looked kind-hearted, stared at this side with his eyes wide open, wanting to strangle Shanks to death with both hands.

Over the years, in order to provide food for the dragon, the 180-year-old boy had almost lost all his hair, and he no longer had the energy to go to the female giant at night for in-depth communication.

Looking at the other party who lowered his head to reveal the bright Mediterranean Sea that could reflect the blue sky, Shanks couldn't help but laugh and said: "Elder Moore, you have worked really hard these years!"

"Damn it, you bastard boy, you actually dare to laugh at me. Why am I like this? It's not because of your bastard captain!!"

As he was about to leave his position to fight Shanks hand to hand, Alide grabbed the arm of the second elder who was wearing a horned helmet next to him.

"More, calm down, His Majesty is still here!"

Not to mention that it was okay, but when it came to mentioning the third elder Moore's expression, he was even more resentful. It was obvious that the other party had wanted to take the dragon away for a long time, but his Majesty blocked him at every turn.

"Alright, Moore! Your Majesty will naturally make a decision on everything. Sit down quickly!"

A voice mixed with dissatisfaction and anger came from the front.

"Okay, Brother Alcott!"

An insignificant episode ended, and the banquet finally returned to its theme.

Sitting at the top of the banquet hall, the giant king Odin, whose face had not looked very good since the first meeting, and who had been drinking silently, spoke slowly, with uncontrollable anger in his tone.

"Boy Shanks, and Roger's daughter, please get out of here immediately after drinking this glass of wine, and don't come back again in the future."

"Roger, that guy who broke the promise, I will never forgive him!!"

He turned his head and drank it all in one gulp, throwing the wine glass in his hand towards the ground in front of him. The remaining clear wine mixed with the splintered wood chips flew out, soaking the ground in the middle.

"That bastard with long nose hair, what did he think of me!!"

"I would rather go to the navy and surrender, and die in vain while others watch, than fight me with real swords and guns. Is he looking down on me? Is he looking down on the entire giant race?!"

"Roger, you bastard, idiot, traitor, bullshit Pirate King, you are a complete coward!!"

Odin, who was obviously drunk, kept beating the long stone table and cursed the dead Pirate King wildly, completely ignoring his own image.

"Father!"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty Odin!"

Everyone present expressed their relief. They knew that Roger's breach of contract would have an impact on the King of Giants, but they did not expect it to be so profound.

"Roger, you bastard..." Seeing the overwhelming anger unleashed by His Majesty, the second elder and the third elder also began to scold Roger.

There were only two people who said nothing from the beginning to the end, watching everything happening in front of them.

Sipping the mellow wine in the glass, Beckman, who looked relaxed, suddenly looked at An, and found that the other person also looked indifferent, and even had a faint smile in his eyes.

"Your Majesty Odin, this farce can stop." An said leisurely while leaning on the back of the chair.

"An, what do you mean?" Shanks was a little confused.

Beckman, who had been silent at this time, said: "Shanks, you are really an idiot. What An means is that they are acting for you."

"I'm right, Prince Loki."

He struck a match and lit a cigarette. Beckman's calm face was obscured by the cloud of smoke he swallowed.
