One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 105: Movements of the Navy Headquarters

Nami couldn't see anything.

There was no way. Even if she stood on tiptoe, she was less than 1.7 meters tall. She was really too short.

"Hmm... Hmm?" Smoker finally "woke up" and looked around blankly. "Earthquake?"

"It's not an earthquake, it's a volcanic eruption!"

Dongli stood up with a big laugh, put one of the saber-toothed dragons into his mouth, and swallowed it in a few bites. He pushed the other one in front of everyone.

"Everyone eat first, I'll be right back!"

A serious look appeared in his eyes. He put on his helmet and pulled out the giant sword that was more than ten meters long from the side.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

——It turns out that every eruption of the volcano on this island is a signal, meaning that the time has come for Dongli to duel with another giant, as he mentioned in the chat just now.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise as they watched Dongli pick up the huge sword and stride towards the north.

"Brother, let's go and take a look too!"

Nami immediately suggested that compared to her curiosity about the taste of dinosaur meat, the battle between giants attracted her more.

The others also cast longing glances at him.

This level of battle is not something you can see easily.

"Then go." Xia Nuo nodded with a smile.

Everyone followed Dongli's footsteps and passed through the dense primeval jungle. The dinosaurs fled in panic and the trees shook violently in the air waves of the giants running.

After a while, we arrived at the open area on the north side.

In front of the giant bone here, a bearded giant who was as burly as Dongli was already ready for battle.

He looked much fatter than Dongli, with a round face and thick nostrils, wearing a horn helmet, holding a huge axe and a round shield, and his muscular body was covered with scars from battle.

"Brockie!"

Dong Li shouted and raised his greatsword, "Your strength should have recovered by now. We must decide the outcome today!"

"Hahahaha, that's exactly what I want!"

Broki responded with wild laughter, the sound exploding like thunder.

Boom!
The two giants clashed in an instant.

The shock wave generated by the collision between the giant sword and the battle axe uprooted the surrounding trees and caused the ground to tremble continuously. Everyone had to retreat dozens of meters before they could barely stand firm.

"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't right..."

Nami looked up at the two giants fighting like wild beasts, and cold sweat broke out on her face.

Before, when she heard Dong Li laughingly talking about how he would often duel with another giant on the island, she thought it was just a competition between good friends.

I never expected that the fight would be so cruel and violent.

Every move and every style went straight to the vital points, blood was flying everywhere, as if they had a deep hatred for each other and wanted to kill each other.

"Why!"

She couldn't bear to watch any longer and couldn't help but look up and yell, "Uncle, aren't you friends?! Why are you having this kind of duel?! Why would friends hurt each other so mercilessly?"

"friend?"

Dongli grinned and used his sword to block the attack from above. "In the face of the glory of Elbaf..."

"Giving it your all, isn't that the most sincere respect for friendship?"

Brockie also laughed: "As for the cause of the duel——"

"We've forgotten it!"

boom!
The two giants roared and fought each other again.

Except for Nami who was frightened and worried, everyone else gradually widened their eyes and immersed themselves in it.

The two legendary giants of Elbaf, every collision is so violent and powerful, showing amazing fighting skills, while also having a strong visual impact, making people excited and adrenaline soaring.

Xia Nuo also watched very seriously.

However, his vision is higher than that of the crew members, and his focus is different.

He noticed that the destructive power generated by the battle between the two giants was truly astonishing, far beyond the reach of humans. The word "power" was best interpreted in them.

Even with my own physical strength, I can't keep resisting head-on...

Xia Nuo pinched his chin, and a vague idea came to his mind.

……

I do not know how long it has been.

clang--! ! !
Amidst a deafening roar, two giant weapons flew out of their hands at the same time and penetrated deeply into the ground in the distance.

On the battlefield where volcanic ash was drifting, two mountain-like bodies finally collapsed due to exhaustion.

"Hahahaha! So satisfying!"

Dongli half-knelt on the ground, his loud laughter making the leaves fall, completely ignoring the blood spurting out of his chest like a waterfall.

Broki lay sprawled, his horned helmet tilted to one side, laughing heartily as well: "Seventy thousand and sixty-three games! Still a draw!"

"Really..."

"If this continues, when will we be able to return to Elbaf Village?"

Dongli smiled again and said, "Hey, Brockie, these kind human friends brought me some good wine, do you want to try it?"

"Good wine?"

Brockie was overjoyed: "Where is it? Where is it? Give it to me now! My mouth is watering when you say that."

"Here, go on!" The two giants sat together again, arm in arm, toasting lively and inviting everyone to join in. It was completely different from the way they had just been fighting for their lives.

Nami opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing, holding her forehead helplessly.

——She was afraid that she would never be able to understand the thought processes of these giants.

"Mr. Dongli."

Shanuo suddenly spoke, his voice particularly clear in the silent battlefield, "I would like to ask you and Mr. Brockie for a favor, is that okay?"

The giants stopped their noise. Dongli tilted his head, and his bronze helmet made a creaking sound. "Oh?"

"Is such that."

Shanuo grinned. The best way to get along with the giants is to be honest and get straight to the point.

"You still remember the technique of Observation Haki, right? Of all the Haki I have not yet mastered, this is the only one. So I would like to ask you to spare some time to help me learn this Haki."

"Is the sight of sex domineering?"

Dong Li's eyes lit up. "No problem, Broki and I mastered it a long time ago. We also learned Armament Haki together a long time ago, but..."

The voice stopped abruptly, the giant scratched his head, his expression became embarrassed:

"Um...Brockie, how exactly do you use it?"

"I think I learned it when I was fighting a fat marine who could transform into a Flashman..."

Brockie was also bewildered. "We were quite skilled at it then, but we haven't used it in the past hundred years. How did we learn it?"

The giants of Elbaf are most proud of their terrifying physiques and innate fighting skills.

This is especially true for these two legendary warriors.

Haki is needed to deal with those strange devil fruit ability users. Normally, people simply disdain to use this power.

Now it’s more than a hundred years later.

They could use Haki instinctively, but remembering how they mastered it would be difficult...

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

The two giants looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads in frustration.

——My friend sent me some fine wine, but I couldn’t even help with this little favor. The Elbaf warriors are so embarrassed!
"You have misunderstood."

Xia Nuo shook his head. "I'm not asking you to teach me the theory and techniques of Observation Haki. I have a rough idea of that. What I lack is an opportunity."

"It's like being pushed to the limit of life and death, feeling the oppression of death even in your very hairs, forcing you to develop stronger evasive abilities. Do you understand?"

"Since I left the sea until now, no one has ever been able to push me to this point, causing me to be unable to awaken my observation Haki."

Xia Nuo stared at the two giants and said seriously, "And you, I see hope for this opportunity to appear."

"understood."

Dong Li grinned, "Hehehe, Brother Xia Nuo, do you want us to attack you with all our strength like we did in the duel just now?"

"What arrogant words!" Brockie's eyes lit up. "But I have to say, you have the qualifications!"

The warriors' keen intuition allowed them to see that Shanuo was not bragging.

This young-looking human boy exudes the spirit of a strong man in every move and even in his breathing.

——He is a very powerful guy who is very confident in his own abilities.

"Gahahahaha!"

Brocki laughed out loud. "We can still do this kind of request, and we're happy to do it. But, Dongli, it seems we'll have to take a break for the next few days."

"No problem, this price is worth it to repay my friend!"

Dong Li looked up at the sky. "But it's getting dark soon. Brockie and I are almost exhausted. We can't perform any decent moves right now. Sorry, I guess we need to get a good night's rest and wait until tomorrow morning to start this special training."

"Of course, that's as it should be."

Xia Nuo nodded, laughed, and turned around and said:

"Uncle Zhepu, bring all the wine on the boat over here. We'll have a great party tonight and we won't stop until everyone is drunk!"

"Yeah, party!!!"

There was a sudden and cheerful response from the crowd.

It was not only to celebrate the acquaintance with the two giants, but also to be happy that their captain finally had a way to solve the problem in his heart.

……

As night fell, a towering bonfire soon lit in the open space surrounded by giant bones.

While the bonfire party was being held in full swing.

Thousands of miles away.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

The lights in the marshal's office were still bright late at night.

The waning moon outside the window was half-hidden by dark clouds, casting mottled shadows on the white walls of the main fortress.

Inside the house, Zhan Guo took off his glasses and rubbed his temples tiredly.

The pile of documents on the desk looked particularly heavy under the light.

At the very top, the white report labeled "War Situation of the Kingdom of Solby in the South China Sea" had been frayed by his reading.

"Forget it, let's discuss this matter later."

Sengoku shook his head. "What about the Fallen Pirates? Still no news?"
