One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger

After the World Government completely wiped out the rebellious pirates, the entire world indeed entered a rare period of peace.

Even Elbaf, which was very turbulent before, showed a kind of silence suppressed by powerful forces in this quietness.

The Five Elders used this time to quietly bring the giant kingdom of Elbaf under their control.

This country, famous for its fighting power, now bows under the banner of the World Government, and the fearless spirit that the giants are proud of is gradually fading under the approaching dark clouds.

In the core area of ​​Elbaf, a huge laboratory was quietly built.

The towering steel buildings stand coldly and rigidly like the skeleton of a giant among the magnificent mountains, seeming out of tune with the natural scenery of the Land of Giants.

Layers of fortifications, heavily guarded sentries, and constant patrols by pacifists make this laboratory like a cold cage, locking all the secrets inside.

The lights inside the laboratory are bright, but the cold light source makes people feel a chill in their hearts.

The scientists and experimenters here shuttled back and forth, silently and busy.

They were not silent out of fear, but because the research here was so rigorous that it was suffocating. They had to concentrate fully and not dare to make any mistakes.

The giants' body structure, combat effectiveness, recovery ability, and even unique genetic fragments were all broken down one by one and recorded into countless cold numbers and data.

Every experiment and every data analysis is aimed at tapping into the incredible power of the giants and transforming it into weapons for the world government to use.

And deep in the laboratory, pacifist research was also quietly going on.

The new pacifist model stood on the platform, a faint red light flashing in its cold eyes, like a wild beast waiting for its master's orders.

Experimenters tweaked their laser cannons and the thickness of their armor, applying the genes and strength of the titans to these ruthless machines.

Today's pacifists are more powerful and swift than any previous generation, as if they possess some kind of unstoppable destructive force.

The Five Elders would occasionally come to the laboratory for inspection, their calm gazes wandering among the various experimental devices as they listened to scientists report on the latest developments.

They attach great importance to the power of the giants, as if this is their real focus.

As the Five Elders walked deep into the laboratory, they seemed to whisper in their hearts: "With this power, any rebellion or resistance in the future will vanish into thin air."

With the completion of this laboratory, the World Government not only locked Elbaf firmly under its power, but also reduced the legend and pride of the Giants to cold data, which became a secret weapon in their hands.

In this oppressive silence, the land of Elbaf is filled with a vague sense of uneasiness, but the pace of the Five Elder Stars has never stopped. They are planning for more far-reaching hegemony, pointing directly at the entire world.

Compared to the peace and prosperity of the World Government...

"Dangdangdang..."

The sound coming from deep within the laboratory echoed for a long time in this cold building.

A large number of giants were locked in steel cages, with chains piercing their wrists and ankles, firmly imprisoning their huge bodies.

Each cage is large enough to hold a giant, but for these giants who have been accustomed to the boundless world since childhood, such confinement is undoubtedly hell.

"Let me go! You despicable people!"

A giant roared, and the sound shook the surrounding walls like thunder.

He struggled to break free from the chains, veins on his arms showing from the excessive force, and his muscles tensed in resistance.

However, the chains embedded in the wall did not move at all. Instead, his skin was rubbed and bleeding. The blood dripped down the chains and dyed the cold floor red.

"Stop screaming, it's too noisy."

The scientist next to him looked at him coldly, his face expressionless, as if he was just observing a trapped animal.

The pen in his hand moved across the notebook, recording the data and physiological reactions of the giant's struggle.

"Subject A-7, resistance is above 70, and strength limit performance is in line with expectations."

His tone was calm and rational, as if all this was just an ordinary daily record.

"You damned devils!"

The other giant cursed angrily, his eyes filled with desperate hatred, and the corners of his mouth and face were covered in blood from the struggle.

His fingers scratched the chains desperately, even digging into his flesh and blood, and he let out muffled groans.

Once upon a time, these giants were Elbaf's bravest warriors, standing proudly on the land of the most powerful country in the world.

Now they have been deprived of their freedom and dignity, and even their bodies have been broken down into pieces of data, becoming material for cold-blooded research.

"Life is worse than death...it has come to this..." muttered an old giant, with powerless despair in his eyes.

They had fought so hard to protect the freedom of Elbaf, but now they had been stripped of their dignity and could no longer tell the story of freedom to their children and grandchildren.

But the experimenters turned a blind eye to it. To them, the wailing and cursing were just "noise" in their work.

A supervisor walked through the giant's cage area, calmly reviewing the data of each experimental individual.

Faced with the giants' anger and struggle, he smiled coldly, with a hint of cold satisfaction in his eyes.

He lowered his head slightly and taunted in a cold voice: "Resist, the more you struggle, the more real our data will be... This is your only use."

Then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the instruments behind him started to work. The sedatives injected into the giants' bodies gradually calmed the struggling giants, and their expressions changed from anger to dullness.

But the hatred in those eyes still burned, like the only unextinguished fire in this cold hell.

The entire laboratory fell silent again, except for an occasional faint sigh. The air was filled with the smell of cold metal and blood.

Under this iron-like oppression, the giants hung their heads helplessly, but in a certain corner their eyes rekindled a glimmer of revenge, waiting for that day to come, waiting for their freedom.

The giant's voice was low and hoarse, like the growl of a trapped beast at the last moment: "You'd better not let us walk out of this place alive, otherwise..."

But before he finished his threat, the experimenter raised his eyes contemptuously and interrupted him coldly: "Don't worry, that day will never come."

Just as he finished speaking, he pressed a set of buttons on the control panel in his hand. With the sound of cold machinery operating, the chains tightened, and the giant's wrists and ankles were embedded deeper into the chains.

The giant's face was tense, his eyes were wide open, and his struggling movements gradually slowed down under the pull of the chains, but the anger in his eyes became more and more intense, as if he wanted to devour the indifferent experimenter opposite him.

But his threat seemed to fall on deaf ears. To the experimenters, threats like his were nothing more than a few lines of insignificant experimental data.

‘Boom! ! ! ’

With a loud bang, the heavy door of the laboratory slowly closed under the unwilling gaze of the giant.

The closed iron door was like the mouth of a huge cage, blocking out all the light outside.

In an instant, the light in the laboratory was cut off, and it sank into a dead darkness.

In the silence, the only sounds left were the giants' heavy breathing and the occasional sound of iron chains rubbing against each other, as if silently telling of the lingering anger and despair in their hearts.

In the darkness, the giants still opened their bloodshot eyes, staring in the direction of the chains, as if they saw some hope that had not yet arrived through the dead silence.

"That day will come,"

Someone among the giants murmured to himself in a weak voice, but with a firm echo.

They could not see the expressions of the people around them, nor could they hold each other's hands, but every giant silently made the same vow in their hearts: they would never let their power be imprisoned in this darkness forever.
