From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

When Xia Jieren thinks back to the pain he endured in the past, he still feels a lingering fear.

He put aside his complicated thoughts and looked up at Willy: "There are still 20 tons of refined iron on the airship worm, which is also for you."

"I had a party yesterday and forgot about it." Xia Jieren smiled apologetically.

"Don't worry about it, my friend. I also want to thank you for the gifts." Willy smiled indifferently, not caring about it at all.

"Where should these fine irons be put?" Xia Jieren asked.

Hearing this, Willy brought Xia Jieren and others to a huge blacksmith shop.

This blacksmith shop is far away from the royal capital and is built of stones.

There were large amounts of wood, coal and iron ore piled up on both sides of the blacksmith shop.

From a long distance away, the rhythmic sound of hammering could be heard coming from the blacksmith's shop.

When they reached the blacksmith shop, Willy called out, "Toby, come out to greet the guests."

"Who is it? It's so noisy."

Before the door of the blacksmith shop was opened, a very impatient voice was heard.

"So it's you, kid. Why are you running to my side instead of just being the king?"

"Is the weapon broken?"

A giant named Toby walked out slowly.

Toby was wearing a heavy leather jacket, holding a heavy hammer, with strong arms and deep and determined eyes.

"Toby! This is Xia Jieren, a guest from the Kingdom of the Netherlands." Willy ignored Toby's question, but moved aside and introduced Xia Jieren and others who followed.

Seeing Toby looking over, Xia Jieren greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Toby! Nice to meet you."

Toby nodded slightly and looked at Xia Jieren and others curiously.

He didn't understand why Willy brought Xia Jieren and others to see him.

"This is Toby! He is the most powerful blacksmith in our Kingdom of Elgia. The weapons used by the warriors are all made by him and his apprentices." Willy introduced Toby again.

After both parties had a preliminary understanding, Willy explained his purpose.

"Oh~, fine iron?" Toby looked interested.

Xia Jieren nodded slightly, signaling Gate to put all the refined iron in the location designated by Toby.

clang!clang!clang!

The iron ingots collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

"A devil fruit user, and a precious space-type one at that." Toby's face froze and he murmured.

Before he could react, he was attracted by the luster of the iron ingot.

The blacksmith's instinct drove him to run over.

"This is..." His hands trembled slightly with excitement.

After a while, Toby finally picked up an iron ingot, placed it in the palm of his hand and observed it carefully.

"There's no doubt about it... This is extremely high-quality fine iron." Toby said in surprise.

"How is it?" Seeing Toby's surprised look, Willy interrupted at an inopportune time.

"This is the best iron I have ever seen." Toby looked at the iron ingot in his palm lovingly, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

"Isn't it just iron?" Willy said disapprovingly.

Toby shouted angrily, "Do you know how valuable an iron ingot of this quality is?"

"With him, even an ordinary blacksmith can make a good knife."

"Huh~, is it so precious?" Willy asked in surprise.

He knew the value of a good sword and the difficulty of forging it, and he trusted Toby very much.

"Humph! This is much more precious than you think." Toby replied unhappily.

Then, he said excitedly: "With these iron ores, I can make at least a hundred good sharp sword-level weapons."

Hearing this number, Willy was also shocked, "Really?"

"Of course!" Toby nodded confidently.

"Great!" Willy laughed.

Although the Elgea Kingdom is very powerful, their weapons are very simple.

Iron deficiency!

This is a big problem facing the Kingdom of Elgea.

Due to the deliberate targeting by the World Government and the surrounding kingdoms, iron ore and smelted iron ingots are difficult to enter the Kingdom of Elgea.

Not only that, the biggest problem is that the materials used to make weapons for a giant are hundreds or even thousands of times that of ordinary weapons.

Willy was helpless about this and could only give a small amount of iron tools to stronger warriors.

As for the weapons used by other warriors, they are not simple either. Many of them are made of the precious tree Adam.

It can be said that the twenty tons of refined iron brought by Xia Jieren solved Willy's urgent needs, and at the same time greatly enhanced the strength of the Kingdom of Elgea.

Without suitable weapons, it would be difficult to use the giants' proud fighting skill - domination.

After feeling happy, Willy looked at Xia Jieren with gratitude, "Thank you again, my friend. You helped us a lot."

Xia Jieren waved his hand nonchalantly.

This was just a small matter for him and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Willy thought for a moment and said, "We in the Kingdom of Elkia don't have anything to show for it."

"Well! I will give you some branches of the precious tree Adam. I hope you like them."

Xia Jieren was delighted when he heard this.

But the education he received over a long period of time made it impossible for him to accept it calmly.

Xia Jieren declined, "King Willy, you are so polite. How can we accept your gift when we come to visit you?"

After hearing this, Willy became more convinced of Xia Jieren and others.

He said with a straight face: "This is just a gift between friends. There is no interest involved."

"We giants are a tribe that knows how to repay kindness. You have helped us so much, so we should give you some return gifts."

"Please don't say no."

"Okay." Now that things had come to this, Xia Jieren couldn't refuse.

While Xia Jieren was chatting with Willy, Toby rushed into the blacksmith shop with a few iron ingots.

Seeing this, Willy looked at Xia Jieren with a slightly apologetic look, "Excuse me."

Xia Jieren smiled indifferently and didn't care about it at all.

Since the refined iron had been put away, Willy, Xia Jieren and others did not stay long.

After saying hello to Toby, Xia Jieren and others went back.

In order to express his gratitude, King Willy humbled himself and personally led Xia Jieren and others to visit the royal capital.

"The King! It's His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty Willy is so strong!"

"Mom, I want to become as powerful as His Majesty Willy in the future."

"..."

When facing King Willy, everyone burst into unprecedented enthusiasm.

Willy was not at all arrogant and interacted with the citizens.

The total population of Elgea is just over 100,000.

Since most giants are straightforward by nature, they get along very well with each other.

Even if there are conflicts, they will be resolved after a fight.

There is a big gap between the capital of Elgia and that of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

This is also related to the shortage of supplies in Elgia.

Just as Xia Jieren and the others were strolling around, a giant wearing a horned helmet trotted over and shouted, "Your Majesty Willy, those annoying guys are here again."

"It's so annoying!" Willy frowned, his face full of impatience.
