Chapter 254 The Power of the Giants and the Mystery of Shanks' Severed Arm
Great Hammer Chapter!
really!
Both the World Government and Rocks share the goal of harnessing the power of the Ancient Titans!
Long ago, Bazel and Kaido accidentally arrived at that island and saw the ancient giants frozen in ice.
After that, he led his men to Elbaf.
I specifically obtained information related to the Great Hammer Chapter from Elder Aruru.
The information is limited, but it contains one extremely important piece of intelligence!
The Great Hammer Chapter is a real entity; those ancient giants possessed extensive shipbuilding experience, but they suddenly disappeared a long time ago.
Only a letter confirming his capture was sent back to Elbaf.
After gathering all the clues, Bazel kept thinking about one question.
Before time travel, when watching anime, I saw Caesar's failed giantification experiment, Big Mom's lack of giants in Whole Cake Island, and Im's collection of giant straw hats.
It's still the corpse of the demon controlled by Moria, and the drama orchestrated by the human trafficker Yamaba and the World Government decades ago —
All of this subtly points the finger at giants, or rather, gigantism.
Did Vegapunk's experiment to transform into a giant really fail back then?
After experiencing certain things firsthand, Bazel began to have doubts about it.
The technology by which Caesar could grow to gigantic size was probably something he stole from Vegapunk.
But they only learned the basics; as for the essence—
Perhaps only Vegapunk himself knows the answer.
Perhaps it was because Vegapunk had discerned some truth that he was unwilling to continue exploring the giantification experiment in greater depth.
And he completely delegated the experiment to Caesar Courland, whose skills were not particularly refined.
Otherwise, if Vegapunk could create such an outrageous soldier as Seraph, there's no reason why something as simple as gigantification could stump him.
Furthermore, considering that the World Government has consistently attempted to gain influence over Elbaf, but has been hesitant to fully provoke it—
Or perhaps the giant World Tree of Elbaf, also known as the Adam Tree, has some special function.
Or perhaps the giants' hidden power has some wonderful uses that he is unaware of.
Otherwise, the World Government would not have so easily let go of the giants who fought alongside Joy Boy eight hundred years ago, following the example of the Bakania.
Giants, immense strength, enormous bodies —
Bazel felt he had grasped something, but the path forward was blocked by an impenetrable fog.
"Monkey, the experiment to make you gigantic is unlikely to go smoothly."

"The reason why the World Government is so eager to obtain the power of the Titans is probably related to some key thing."
"When I was adventuring in Elbaf, I heard from Aruru that the Giant King Harald had a very special tattoo."
He paused briefly, considering his next words.
"I remember Dragon visited God Valley eleven years ago, right? Do you remember how he described some details of the Knights of God?"
Details of the Knights of God?
The Den Den Mushi looked thoughtful.
"I vaguely remember. You're referring to their tattoos, right? I think the design looks a lot like the World Government's flag."
"Yes, that's the tattoo!"
Bazel lowered his voice.
"Drag told me some of the details of the God Valley incident eleven years ago."
He said the world government possesses unique modes of transportation that we are not yet aware of!
"And this mode of movement is very likely related to that special tattoo!"
Harald said that the tattoo was the most special one, representing the friendship of the World Government.
"But—forgive my bluntness, Elbaf still has not become a member state of the World Government."
"If, I mean if."
"If that tattoo is something like a target, and a certain ability user can sense the target and deploy a teleportation field near it—!!"
Bazel suddenly froze.
He suddenly realized something!
He finally understood why Shanks' arm was so easily bitten off by the mere Lord of the Coast!
Before he traveled through time, he remembered a scene in the anime depicting Shanks when his left arm was still intact.
That was a very small part of the story about him taking a bath with Jabba.
At that time, Shanks still had a left arm, and there was a clear target tattoo on his left upper arm.
This unique tattoo has also appeared on characters from other divine groups.
It was on that very day that Harald died in his own castle.
The Devil Fruit passed down through generations in Elbaf was also stolen.
Not long after that incident, Shanks "suddenly had good luck" and encountered CP9 agent Who's Foz F. who was transporting the Nika Fruit!
And they stole the then-unremarkable "Paramecia-type Gum-Gum Fruit" from him.
Shortly after that, he unexpectedly appeared in Windmill Village.
Luffy accidentally ate the fruit, and then the Lord of the Coast "accidentally" bit off his left arm, which had a special tattoo!
When Bazel saw this scene, he thought it was just a typical opening sequence from One Piece.
But now it seems—
This is a plot hole that the original author set right from the beginning!
In the future, when facing Kid's ultimate move, Shanks sensed something was wrong in advance using his Observation Haki.
He then used a divine dodge to instantly kill Kidd.
Even Kidd, who was quite powerful at the time, was defeated in one move. Could the Lord of the Coast possibly be stronger than Kidd?
Even if Shanks wasn't as strong as he is now when his arm was bitten off, he wouldn't be so weak that the Lord of the Coast could easily bite off his dominant hand.
He wanted to use the Lord of the Near Seas to completely break free from Im's control!
That is to say-
In the period following Roger's death, Shanks returned to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!
And during that time, he was a member of the Knights of God!
However, due to ideological differences, he went to sea again, but the special tattoos on his body could not be removed.
Until the incident involving the King of the Near Seas occurred.
As for the "Gum-Gum Fruit" that Luffy accidentally ate, Shanks's initial target was probably not Luffy.
They are Roger's children!
Eleven years ago, Shanks was picked up by Roger's pirate crew, thus beginning his life as a pirate.
As Roger's most valued prodigy, Shanks might know things that others don't.
For example, Roger has a family, but Shanks doesn't know what his family members are called or where they are.
The only option is to return to Roger's hometown, the East Blue, after obtaining the Nika Fruit, in an attempt to find Roger's child and give him this Devil Fruit that represents the New World.
But by a twist of fate, the Devil Fruit was eaten by Garp's grandson.
Roger's real son, however, unexpectedly ate the Flame-Flame Fruit in the future.
This also explains why the Red-Haired Pirates stayed in the East Blue for so long.
It's all because Shanks is searching for Roger's son!
He knew that what he had stolen was not the Gum-Gum Fruit at all, but the legendary Nika Fruit!
He firmly believed that as a descendant of Captain Roger, that guy would definitely be able to follow in his father's footsteps and shoulder the responsibility of this fruit!
Ushering in a new era!
"Bazel, Bazel, what happened?"
After waiting for a long time without the man continuing, Borsalino's puzzled shout came through the Den Den Mushi.
"No, I just figured some things out. Some mysteries that had puzzled me for a long time have finally been solved."
Bazel felt his mind was in complete disarray. He put down the Den Den Mushi and rubbed his face vigorously with both hands.
"Monkey, don't make any rash moves recently, and you absolutely must not contact me in Punk Hazard."
"It's better to be safe than sorry; it's never a bad thing to be cautious."
Before picking up the Den Den Mushi again, a guess flashed through Bazel's mind.
Could the legendary Devil Fruit passed down through generations in Elbaf be the Mythical Zoan type, Nika?
But what kind of Devil Fruit did Loki eat in the original story?
Suppressing the two newly arising doubts in his heart, Bazel picked up the Den Den Mushi.
"Vegapunk will not allow the giantification experiment to succeed. Just let things take their course, monkey."
"Don't interfere, that man is traveling with us."
"He is also searching for the truth."
"The technology mastered by Satan Saint is a legacy of knowledge left by the Lunaria tribe eight hundred years ago."
"The World Government recruited Navegapunk largely because of the Brain-Brain Fruit he ate."
"They want to use the power of this fruit to restore the divine technology from 800 years ago."
"Dr. Vegapunk needs this strength; he will find his direction in it."
"Just like us, monkeys."
"Everyone is feeling their way across the river."
The Den Den Mushi let out a long sigh: "I don't know what you've figured out, but hopefully it's not a bad thing."
"I will return to headquarters immediately, pack my things, and move into the New World. I hope I will have enough time before that great war begins."
After chatting for a few more minutes, the Den Den Mushi hung up.
Bazel sat under the night sky, looking up at the starry sky that seemed so close.
They sat there until the first rays of red light appeared on the horizon, and Loki's shouts echoed from the distant forest.
"Big brother, I found it! The giant snake!!!"
"This guy was hiding motionless in the burrow; it took me a lot of effort to lure it out!"
"Hey Loki, you didn't even put in that much effort!"
A bear's annoyed grumbling voice came through.
"You just tied a rope around my waist and then used me as bait to throw in the fish!"
"I was almost swallowed whole by that giant snake!"
Loki's laughter brought the distracted Bazel back to reality.
Turning his head to look behind him, his gaze was fixed on the purple-scaled serpent that Loki had packaged into a circular structure.
"That's the guy!"
Loki plopped down.
"How should we prepare it? Skin it and make soup, or grill it directly?"
!
Seeing the giant snake, its head and tail joined together, begin to struggle wildly, Bazel glared at Loki.
"Get lost! Is food all you think about?!"
"I plan to keep it as a pet and put it in Takamagahara. Maybe it can even be transformed into an amusement park that children will love."
Amusement park?
Loki tilted his head, deep in thought, as he looked at the giant python.
An image floated into my mind: a slide made from the skeleton of Nora, the Lord of the Sky.
"Brother, isn't this a bit inappropriate? A slide made of bones? Are you sure the kids won't be scared and cry?"
! !
The giant snake's struggles grew louder and louder.
Bazel kept trying to understand what Loki was seeing, but he thought it should be pretty good.
When the time comes, just throw it into the water, and its back can be used as a water slide, while its front can be used for bungee jumping.
And there's no need to pay employee salaries.
This is simply the innate divine body of a bull or horse that bosses love most.
Whether she sensed that the man meant no harm or was simply naturally intelligent, Nora gradually calmed down.
When Bazel untied the vines binding it, the giant python neither struggled nor tried to escape.
Instead, it moved closer to Bazel and licked him a few times with its forked tongue, as if tasting the flavor.
He then pressed his nostrils against Bazell and sucked hard.
Bazel had no idea what the snake was smelling, but he watched as the snake rubbed its body vigorously.
Like a cat obsessed with catnip.
He tentatively reached out and touched the cold snake scales.
"So addictive, so addictive~~"
This snake-addictive scent is amazing!
