In Elbaf's Orsto Castle.
"Harald, are you ready to see the truth of this world clearly!"
Fang Huo floated before this massive Giant King, his expression very solemn.
"Are you really going to take Loki, Ida, and the others there?"
"Won't it be too dangerous?"
Hearing Fang Huo's certain tone, Harald now somewhat believed that the Native Purge Competition might truly exist.
If the World Government has been covering for the Celestial Dragons to hold such a cruel competition,
Then Elbaf could never join such an inhumane World Government.
He would also have to recall all the giants who had joined the Marineford,
Forbidding giants from serving the World Government.
"Without witnessing the truth of the world with their own eyes, how would they know how cruel this world is!"
"Loki's talent is very high. To be honest, he is more suited to be a king than you are!"
"There's nothing wrong with letting Loki see the world; it will be beneficial for his growth."
"Perhaps he might even see the high-and-mighty Gorosei, and even the King of the World who has lived for nearly a thousand years."
Fang Huo spoke indifferently. Among this family of four, only Hajrudin could stay behind; Loki and Ida both had to go.
If Fang Huo didn't know that Ida was truly just purely kind,
Fang Huo would have suspected that Ida was an undercover agent sent by the World Government specifically to change Harald.
After all, Fang Huo had even suspected whether the little girl who caused the century-long duel between Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy was a spy for the World Government.
And perhaps some kind of ability user with special powers.
Or a special talent like Miss Goldenweek Marianne, who could guide various emotions through colors or words to cause division and duels.
Unfortunately, that little girl who caused the duel between Dorry and Brogy had long since disappeared.
Otherwise, Fang Huo would have investigated the truth to some extent.
If there was nothing wrong with the little girl, then it could only mean that these giants' brains were truly made of muscle.

"I want to go!!"
Loki, wearing Aizen-style black-rimmed glasses, spoke with great determination, like a young dragon, full of a king's aura.
"I want to go too!"
Hajrudin longed to keep up with Loki's pace; he didn't want to miss any opportunity to become stronger.
Going to the Outer Seas this time to witness the pinnacle battle of the world
Might have a huge impact on his entire life.
Ida's eyes were full of confusion. She knew the reputation of the Celestial Dragons was very bad, but she truly didn't know there was such a cruel competition as the Native Purge Competition.
"Can I go?"
At this moment, the white-haired Elder Yaruru spoke slowly.
To be honest, he also wanted to see the brutal actions of those Celestial Dragons.
"Lord Yaruru, your body..."
Harald looked at the elderly Yaruru, clearly not wanting this old man to step into a dangerous war.
At 358 years old this year, Yaruru was already roughly equivalent to a 120-year-old human, a living fossil of Elbaf.
"What's there to fear? I've lived to this age; if I die, I die."
"If I don't go and see the pinnacle battle of you monsters, dying of old age in Elbaf would be a huge loss."
"It's a pity that those two fellows, Dorry and Brogy, haven't returned yet! They're missing a true world war."
Yaruru waved his hand fearlessly, only finding it a bit of a pity that those two idiots, Dorry and Brogy, were still wasting time dueling in the Outer Seas.
"..."
Harald was somewhat speechless. What reason did he have to refuse a warrior's pursuit of a pinnacle war?
"But Fang Huo, Elbaf might already be under surveillance by the World Government now."
"My giant warship, the 'king of war', will be noticed by the World Government as soon as it sets sail."
"If we go to the West Blue like this, will we be discovered, causing those Celestial Dragons to..."
Harald no longer refused the requests of Loki, Hajrudin, and Yaruru.
He was just a bit worried that their movements would cause an accident in Fang Huo's plan.
"Don't worry! I will take you to the West Blue silently!"
"You only need to stay for half a day, and you'll be able to appear on the battlefield!"
Fang Huo showed a faint smile and told these giants the secret of his Alternate Space.
"So during that Winter Festival, you all went to that Alternate Space?"
Loki remembered the strange incident during that Winter Festival where the Rocks Pirates suddenly disappeared for twelve days.
He hadn't expected Fang Huo to actually possess such an Alternate Space with a massive time difference.
Fang Huo was truly becoming more and more mysterious.
"That's right!"
"Harald, just bring a group of guards to protect Loki, Ida, Hajrudin, and the others. We'll leave quietly at night."
"Remember, you need to instruct the guards staying behind at Orsto Castle not to let word of your departure spread."
"Just let Elbaf continue to operate normally."
As the Underworld Tavern became more and more popular, more and more pirates and tourists arrived at Elbaf, among whom there might be intelligence personnel from the World Government and the underground dark world.
"Understood!"
From among his hundred guards, Harald selected the forty most elite warriors to go to the West Blue to participate in the war and be responsible for protecting Loki and the others.
The remaining sixty guards were responsible for maintaining order in Orsto Castle.
As Fang Huo opened the massive seven-colored gate, Harald's family and the group of giant warriors entered Fang Huo's Lost World.
Another powerful hidden card of Fang Huo's, the Advancing Giants, was ready.
That night, Fang Huo's 'great love immortal venerable' quietly disappeared from Elbaf.
---
A few days later, atop the Skull Castle on Hachinosu.
The Rocks Pirates' main ship, 'Gibeck's Sword', floated in the air.
The Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates held their first war mobilization on this Flying Battleship.
To prevent intelligence leaks, Redfield even used a white anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi and a horned jamming Den Den Mushi to ensure the absolute security of this mobilization.
"We're going to take on the Celestial Dragons??"
Following Rocks' words, Gabban directly cried out in shock.
He never expected that this exciting West Blue adventure would actually be to take on the world nobles, the Celestial Dragons.
This is just too dangerous!
Redfield spoke expressionlessly about the intelligence regarding Red Soil Island and the Native Purge Competition, as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Red Soil Island is Redfield's hometown."
Newgate and Bolo spoke coldly to Roger, Rayleigh, and the others.
The Roger Pirates, who were originally a bit wary and worried, instantly fell silent.
"Jiehahaha! Roger, didn't you say you wanted to turn the world upside down!"
"Isn't this a great opportunity!"
"If you're scared, just shout 'I am a coward' and I'll have Rocks allow you to stay behind on Hachinosu!"
Golden Lion Shiki grinned and laughed while biting his cigar, his tone filled with a fated kind of annoyance.
After Silver Axe Fierce, Roger had become Golden Lion Shiki's new rival.
In these few months, Roger's growth speed was terrifying.
Under Rocks' brutal training, this member of the D Clan displayed exaggerated potential and growth speed.
Rocks even felt as if he were looking at another version of himself.
Roger was indeed a genius of the D Clan, just like him.
