Luffy and Shanks were both completely red, with heat surging from their bodies. They were both hunched over and panting heavily!
But their eyes still shone brightly as they looked at each other!
"Not bad, Luffy!!" Shanks said with a slight smile.
"Damn it, Shanks, you're strong too!! But I'll definitely surpass you!"
"Anyone can talk big!!" Red-haired man laughed and slashed with all his might again!
……
"Is this really okay? It's already the third day!" Nami asked with a worried expression!
Is it really worth it for them to waste so much time here?
Especially now that the situation is so complicated!
“There’s nothing wrong with that. Every day, powerful figures from the Giants’ Palace send in intelligence. And the more false information King Groot spreads, and the longer it lasts, the more confusing it will be! When we break through from one place, the abundance of false information will prevent us from attracting the pursuit of all forces at once! However, according to the latest intelligence, the Five Elders’ fleet is about to arrive in Elbaf. We must leave here tonight at the latest! Heading to Laugh Tale!” Robin analyzed…
"Then let's get ready and set off under the cover of night!" Zoro, Nami, and the others nodded.
If they had shown up a few days ago, and if there hadn't been enough false information being spread, all the forces would have swarmed to them the moment they appeared!
Those people are now being misled by a lot of fake news, and they must leave too!
"But they haven't decided who's the winner yet!" Sanji said, pointing at the two players in the arena.
"We can't just sit here and wait to be surrounded!"
"But judging from their expressions, they're not going to give up until a winner is decided! This is really troublesome!" Luo said, scratching his head in frustration.
"If they continue like this, even in another day or two, it's not certain that a winner will be decided!" Crocodile 0.8 also expressed slight dissatisfaction.
But he knew that even with his strength, he couldn't stop the two of them!
"..." Everyone fell silent.
But that's it.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Blackbeard and his men have surrounded the palace, demanding that we hand over the Straw Hat crew. The palace has already fallen!"
"What!?" Everyone present was immediately shocked!
"A mere Blackbeard could breach our Giant Palace? Are you kidding me?!" King Groot's face darkened, utterly astonished!
Even without me in the palace, the kingdom has two top-tier experts! And a thousand-strong giant army! It's not so easy to conquer!
"It's not just Blackbeard, the Fleet Admiral, and other powerful figures have all attacked us, and Lord Zarathustra has betrayed us!" the giant said in a panic.
Zarathustra is the last top-tier warrior in the Kingdom of Giants!!
1. Surrounded by enemies on all sides, with dozens of top-tier experts! The world's strongest are watching! (Please subscribe!)
"Zarathustra betrayed us, why?!"
King Groot looked on incredulously. Zarathustra was the youngest of the three giants of the Giant Kingdom, a top-tier powerhouse!
He's not even seventy years old yet! Although he can be a bit rebellious at times!
Many of his ideas are radical, but to say he would betray the land of giants!
Groot was the first to disbelieve!
"I don't know, but they've already reached an agreement with Blackbeard. He opened the city gates and also led many soldiers to choose not to resist! That's why the palace was so easily breached!"
"Damn bastard, looks like he's planning to overthrow me! Is he trying to use someone else to kill me and become the king of the giants himself? But what good will that do him... Anyway, I have to get back immediately! Farewell, everyone!!" Groot said, clasping his hands in greeting to the crowd.
"I'll go with you!" Becampunk followed Groot. If he could help with this, he definitely would! Even though it was inconvenient, he couldn't just stand by and watch his friend's country be destroyed!
Even 16 of them were taken! After saying that, Vegapunk looked at Luffy and the others: "You guys should take this opportunity to leave here quickly. This is a good opportunity, and I think Blackbeard's attack on the palace for no reason must be related to you!"
“I didn’t tell Zarathustra about this, but I haven’t been to the palace much these past few days. Outsiders might not know, but those on the inside can easily guess that my disappearance is related to what’s happening right now!” Groot said in a deep voice.
After Luffy and Shanks clashed, they did not continue fighting!
They've tied in this match so far!
Previously, it was possible to fight while waiting for false information to spread, causing headaches for the enemies chasing Luffy!
But we can't wait any longer!
We can't even wait until night; we have to leave immediately!
Because the palace is currently in chaos, and a large-scale conflict has likely broken out, leaving is the best option!
"Let's put this battle aside for later, but... you're already qualified to lead this world! Luffy, keep going, and bring true freedom and light to the world!" Shanks turned his back, intending to follow Groot to quell the chaos within the palace!
The land of giants is Shanks' best ally! He can't stand by and watch the land of giants perish!
"Gentlemen! See you again sometime!" Brogy and the others grinned.
"Luffy, when we meet again, you should be the Pirate King! Now, let us clear the way for you!" Beckman said with a smile!
"Everyone!!" Luffy stared at them in a daze!
"Luffy, now is not the time to be sentimental. If it really is Zarathustra's betrayal, he knows many secrets of the Giant Kingdom, and he will probably come here to search for you. You don't have much time left!" Shanks said again.
"I know! I will definitely become the Pirate King!!" Luffy said, adjusting his hat. He knew that Shanks and the others were doing this for their giant friends and to draw the fire from above!
Create better opportunities for them to escape!
"I'll be waiting for you to return to the land of giants!" Saul and Robin exclaimed.
Usopp bids farewell to his father!
Happy times are always too short!
"Goodbye, everyone!!" They parted ways here!
"Finally, we're going to Laugh Tale!!" Most people were saddened by the thought of parting, but Crocodile wore a knowing smile!
He's been quite restless these past few days! He's just waiting for Straw Hat Boy to set sail!!
The sound made Zoro, Luffy, Shanks, and the others instinctively look over!
Upon being stared at by so many powerful figures, the Sand Crocodile immediately fell silent!
Luffy and his crew then followed the map to a slightly less crowded secret passage and moved away step by step!
Red-haired Shanks, Groot, Vegapunk, and the others soon arrived at the Giants' Palace!
Upon emerging from the underground city, they saw giants fighting and powerful figures from various factions everywhere!
Blackbeard, Akainu, Silver Axe, the old hag, underground bosses, Kid, CP0, and even the commanders of the Revolutionary Army are there!
Some people didn't take any action; they just watched quietly!
The main force behind the operation is the Marines led by Akainu, the Blackbeard Pirates, and including Aokiji! Their aim is to defeat several other top-tier, lone-wolf powerhouses!
The one in charge of resisting these invaders is Pegel, a top-tier giant over 240 years old!
And a giant king's army of about a thousand men!!
The scene was incredibly spectacular, with a thousand giants launching a fierce attack! It was like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down!
Faced with these intruders who shouldn't even be the size of their feet!
It should have been a one-sided situation! But the opposite happened!
One giant after another was surrounded and defeated by countless pirates!
Some giants were even defeated by top-tier pirates with a single blow!
Countless powerful pirates have already gathered here! Until the pirates of the entire New World find Laugh Tale!
They mostly gather at Water Star Island and Elbaf!
And because the recent case of the burned man in Elbaf has been confirmed, everyone flocked to the country!
Regardless of other strong individuals, there are more than a dozen top-tier pirates alone!
This naturally includes Luffy, Shanks, Beckman, Blackbeard, Aokiji, Mihawk...
As for the strong figures in the Navy, we don't know much about them yet. Garp, Sengoku, Akainu... we don't know if they are secretly involved!
But everyone knew that the Five Elders' large fleet and powerful warriors were about to arrive.
The power of the Giant 327 People's Kingdom should not be underestimated, as there are also some underground giants who have connections in both the legal and illegal worlds!
Most of the world's strongest individuals have gathered here!
"To force the Straw Hat crew and the burned man out, Akainu actually went to such lengths with Blackbeard! Attacking the Giant's Palace! Did they receive some accurate intelligence proving that the Straw Hat crew has some connection to the palace?!" Sengoku frowned!
“It must be related to the traitor Zarathustra! He may have provided them with some important clues! Otherwise, they wouldn’t have attacked the Giants’ Court so rashly!” Smoker said in a deep voice!
"Look!! The ground has cracked open! It's Groot, the king of the giants, and Shanks, the red-haired one!" Although Vegapunk intended to help, it wasn't appropriate for him to appear openly!
Otherwise, it won't be helping, but rather making the problem even more complicated!
"Who's causing trouble in my country?!" Groot roared, his massive body erupting with terrifying Conqueror's Haki!
The situation changed drastically; some people fell, but many more remained standing!
Most of the people who can come here are seasoned veterans or experts!
"King Groot!! Hand over the Straw Hat crew and the burned man! Otherwise, we'll raze your Giant Kingdom to the ground today! We've searched the entire kingdom, but they're nowhere to be found! The only possibility is in your palace!" Blackbeard said with a sinister grin.
