General Lanlin of One Piece

"Shanks, Prince Loki is going to challenge King Odin and attack the throne today. Everyone is going to watch. Don't you want to go and see?"

At the entrance of Elbaf village, in a tavern on the coast, a five-meter-tall, snot-nosed giant child stood in front of the eight-meter-high bar. He looked at the red-haired man sitting on a seven-meter-high stool, pouring wine into his mouth, and asked curiously.

The red-haired man had many white bandages wrapped around his body. He held the wine glass in front of him and poured one glass after another into his mouth. The turbid wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, wetting the clothes and bandages on his chest.

He said nothing, did not answer the giant child's question, nor did he turn around to look, but just drank silently.

Shanks had a hollow look in his eyes, a scruffy beard, messy hair, and a pungent smell of alcohol. His sword Griffin was thrown carelessly on the ground in front of the bar, and the scabbard was covered with disgusting vomit.

"Are you really not going? I heard that Prince Loki can release the heroic spirits of Elbaf, and he's a giant magician." The giant child was not giving up, and wanted to drag Shanks to watch Prince Loki's battle to become king.

The adults said that the battle between the old and new thrones would be very intense, and they were worried that the onlookers would be affected and suffer unnecessary casualties, so underage giants under the age of sixty were not allowed to watch the battle. This made the giant children very excited.

That's why this little giant, who is not even twenty years old, would set his sights on Shanks.

Because Shanks is an honored guest of Elbaf, he is one of the few humans who can directly gain the friendship of the entire giant race. Even the giant king will give him face when he sees him and often invite him to the palace as a guest.

Previously, Chief Donli and Chief Broki had invited Shanks to attend the ceremony, but Shanks refused.

He had been drinking in this bar for several days and nights. He drank when he was awake, slept when he was drunk, drank until he was blackouts, and vomited everywhere.

If he wasn't Red-Haired Shanks, he would have been thrown out by the giant owner of the tavern long ago.

Seeing that Shanks ignored him no matter what he said, the giant child immediately walked out of the tavern dejectedly.

But after a while, he came back yelling and ran to Shanks, who was already drunk and sleeping on the bar, and shouted excitedly: "Shanks, Shanks! There are strangers coming to our village again. Are they people you know? Their boat is similar to yours, and there is a dragon head on the bow."

Seeing that Shanks still ignored him, the excitement on the giant child's face faded a lot, and he walked out muttering.

"Forget it if you don't want to go. I'll go and see for myself. I saw giants on their ship, giants I've never seen before. Are there giants in other places? I also saw a bear, a talking bear. I heard Sister Kaili say, it's some navy..."

"Navy?" Shanks, who was in a coma, suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes, and his observation domineering suddenly spread, sweeping across Elbaf in an instant.

Then, he gritted his teeth, his whole face was distorted, and the whole person disappeared on the high stool in an instant, and the Griffin long knife on the ground also disappeared.

"You're such a jerk G5! How dare you show up in front of me? You're courting death!"

At the port of Elbaf Island, the Kirin was approaching from a distance, slowly slowing down.

“No matter who you are, stop immediately and turn around and get away! Otherwise, don’t blame us for taking action.”

At the port, even during the grand succession of the throne, more than a dozen giant warriors still held on. They raised their swords, held several huge artillery batteries that were comparable to the coastal defense guns of the naval base, and aimed them at the Qilin from a distance.

On the Kirin, Palmer looked at Elbaf, whom he had always dreamed of visiting. He took a deep breath, walked out, stood at the bow, and shouted loudly: "Don't be nervous, Elbaf's giant brothers, we are not bad people. We are the navy of the G5 branch. You should know Oimo and Cassi, right? They are both serving in our G5 and are serving as major generals in the headquarters."

"I don't care what kind of navy you are, leave immediately!"

The guarding giants roared with impatience.

If it were normal times, they might consider letting the Kirin enter the port to report for them. But right now, the village was in the midst of a battle for the succession of the throne. At this critical moment, not to mention the navy that they had never been very interested in, even the vassal pirate groups of the Red Hair Pirates would have to undergo strict inspection if they wanted to come.

Seeing that a dozen giants in the port had already started loading shells, Palmer became a little anxious, but he didn't know how to explain in order to be allowed to land on the island.

"No need, Palmer, turn around, I'll go and take a look by myself." Yun Que had expected this to happen, so he was not surprised.

The giants are xenophobic and have no good feelings towards the navy. Moreover, the navy has long known from intelligence in the New World that the Red Hair Pirates are very close to the giants in Elbaf.

So Yun Que came here, actually taking a big risk. If Red-Haired Shanks and Blind Swordsman Yixiao were on this island, then they would be in danger.

However, Yun Que had to come because she truly felt an extremely familiar sense of intimacy here, which was the breath of Rorschach.

This feeling was not perceived through the observation Haki, but was indescribable, very much like the kind of telepathy that Bepo had talked about before.

As Yun Que spoke, his body quickly faded and disappeared from the sight of Pammel and Bepo, as if he had merged into the air.

She activated the reflective camouflage ability of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, turning herself into a transparent cloud. She took off from the Kirin, which was slowly turning around, and flew from high in the sky towards the depths of Elbaf Island, in the direction where the familiar feeling came from.

"Not good! There's murderous intent!"

Suddenly, sensing the skylark flying away, Bepo's white hair exploded and he screamed in shock.

At the same time, a shock wave exploded under the feet of Qilin who was standing beside him, blasting a big hole in the deck of Qilin. The small body jumped out like a cannonball and rushed towards Yunlark.

"Mom! Be careful!"

Qilin screamed, holding the Eagle Eyes' Black Blade Night, and slashed at the void above Yun Que's head.

"You damned fellows, you are so brave! How dare you run up to me? Go to hell!"

"God avoids!"

Shanks' figure appeared in the air above Hibari as if by teleportation. The terrifying domineering lightning was wrapped around Griffin's long sword, and he slashed it down with one blow.

With a "puff", a scarlet blood light burst out from the body of the Qilin that soared into the sky. The small body was cut in half by the domineering sword light, and the blood flowed like a waterfall into the lower air. In an instant, it was unknown whether it was life or death!

"Qilin!" Hibari's eyes were bloodshot, his body expanded rapidly, transformed into the form of a fire goddess, and shot a raging flame at Shanks.

However, she was facing Shanks.

With just one strike, the flames that were rushing towards Shanks like a tsunami were cut in half, and the terrifying blade light pointed directly at Hibari's face.

"Hot breath!"

"Olympus Impact!"

At the critical moment, a pillar of red fire and a violent impact came out of nowhere and hit Shanks's slash together.
