Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

"..."

Seeing the other person's lewd expression again, Ms. Golden Week Mariano looked down at the little feet expressionlessly, rolling her eyes once more.

……

……

The Grand Line.

small garden.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The deafening roar of the collision still lingered.

Li Fu Fu Fu Fu!

The giant axe slammed down on the shield, and Brogy the Red Demon grinned maliciously, "Looking at your powerless state, are you starting to miss your long-lost homeland, Dorry?"

Boom boom!

The greatsword slashed diagonally with a heavy force.

Dongli grinned and pressed down on the sword.

"So! I'm going to defeat you, and then return to Elbaf as the victor! Brogy! Hahahahahahaha..."

Bang! Boom! Bang bang!

As if emboldened by the provocative words, the battle between the two giants intensified.

Every attack was aimed at the opponent's vital points, a life-or-death struggle with absolutely no scruples.

far away.

"What... what kind of battle is this...?"

While comforting the trembling Karu, Vivi stared in disbelief at the extremely brutal battle unfolding before her.

"They were all focusing their attacks on each other's vital points, hoping to kill each other with a single blow!"

"This kind of fighting has lasted for a hundred years..."

"This is their honor, something we can't possibly understand."

Looking at the two who were gradually becoming breathless and exhausted, Hai narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Let me give you an analogy... those two have both planted a flag called 'Warrior' in their hearts..."

Neither of them wanted the flag to be broken by the other... so they fought each other for a hundred years to protect it!

"This belongs to pure warriors, but it's not a 'battle for honor' that we can understand!"

"If Elbaf is full of warriors like these... I'd really like to have the chance to visit them..."

The voice just fell.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the weapons of the two men collided violently and flew backward uncontrollably. Then, as if by unspoken agreement formed over a century, their free right hands clenched into fists and simultaneously slammed into each other's heads and cheeks.

bang bang—

Both of them had their eyes roll back, and they collapsed backward as if they could no longer bear the strain.

The 73466th battle in a hundred years...

It became the 73466th draw!

"Li Fu Fu Fu Fu! Dongli, I just got some wine from a guest..."

"Great! It's been so long since I've had a drink! Share some with me, hahaha..."

The two exhausted men, having fought with all their might, burst into hearty laughter.

blah blah blah!

"It seems you've encountered our ship, Brogy..."

Hai walked up to the two of them and patted Brogi with a smile.

[Talent Acquisition: Giant's Grip (Golden)]

[Note: By absorbing the golden talent 'Giant's Grip,' explosive power is amplified to 53 times that of an ordinary person...]

[Note: Merging warning!]

[Fusion Reminder: The gold-tier talent 'Giant's Grip' and the silver-tier talent 'Monstrous Strength' are both strength-type talents. Should we fuse and absorb them...?]

……

As expected of a giant!

His explosive power alone surpasses that of ordinary people by 53 times...

If we merge, how strong will our power become?

With this in mind, Hai multitasked, chatting casually with Brogy while fusing [Giant's Grip] with [Super Strength].

Instantly, the warm current formed by the [Giant's Grip] flowed into his muscles, internal organs, and bones like boiling water, rapidly merging with his superhuman strength.

Subtly and gradually, the integration will come to an end.

The talent 【Giant's Might X65】 appeared on the attribute panel.

I felt a surge of power, like that of a giant, erupting within my body.

A glint of light flashed in Hai's slightly narrowed eyes.

Although his body hadn't grown to the size of a giant, the immense power and explosive force emanating from it, far exceeding anything he'd experienced before, seemed to be telling him...

What terrifying power is contained within this body that is less than two meters tall?

"I wonder how much my current strength compares to Charlotte Linlin's when she was young..."

"After all, that guy has been an anomaly and a monster among the giants since he was a child..."

Fortunately, acquiring these strength-type talents also strengthens one's physique, and I also have a bouncy physique.

Otherwise, with such a small body possessing strength comparable to that of a giant, it would probably burst open, right?

Thinking of this, Hai chuckled inwardly, his eyes revealing deep thought.

There's something I don't understand. If talent can enhance one's physique, does that mean that the original talents, such as strength, that belong to this body will also be included?

Or perhaps it's a set of hidden talents left behind by Luffy?

Unfortunately, no special values ​​are displayed in the attribute panel.

'Presumably, one's own talents are already included in the star rating system for abilities...'

With this in mind, Hai focused his attention on the [ability attribute] of the double pupils.

[Attribute-based Abilities]

Devil Fruit Ability: ★★★★★

Swordsmanship: ★★★★★☆

[Physical Constitution: ★★★★★★?☆]

Armament Haki: ★★★★☆

Spear skills: ★★★☆

[Note: Talent can be consumed to convert into specific Divine Essence values, fundamentally enhancing abilities...]

.......

Chapter 144 Despicable!

Six and a half stars...

It only increased by half a star...

Hai looked thoughtful.

The previous [Domination] talent has been enhanced by a full star.

The fused [Giant Power] has only increased [Constitution] by half a star.

Is it because the enhancements overlap, or because the difficulty increases as you progress?

Li Fu Fu Fu Fu!

"Really? Are those guests over there also your companions?"

Supporting his massive body, Brogy the Red Demon burst into laughter.

"That's really a nice ship, especially that little guy with the long nose. The first shot he fired really hurt, ouch ouch ouch ouch..."

"That's about it! Donri, if you want some sake, I'll bring it to you for the next duel..."

Before he finished speaking, he picked up the giant axe not far away and walked wearily back the way he came without looking back.

"This guy……"

Dongli shook his head and laughed, "This impatient personality really won't change in a hundred years, hahahahahahahahahahaha..."
