The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The day before, the Red Hair Pirates arrived at Elbaf, the country of giants. The giants already knew some inside information about Shanks being a Celestial Dragon.

Shanks has helped the Giant Kingdom both internally and externally, and has been able to maintain friendship with the Giants.

This time, he brought his adopted daughter to the Land of Giants to let Utado see the scenery outside, experience more culture, and let her continue to be a cheerful girl.

Shanks came to the Yang World of Elbaf, where the giant village was located. Here were the giants he was familiar with, as well as his former seniors.

Soon, a group of male animals were soaking naked in the hot spring, enjoying the fine wine provided by the giants and chatting about recent major events.

"Ace is really stubborn. I have advised him before, but given the boy's stubborn temper, I am not surprised that he has come to this point today." Shanks leaned against the warm stone wall, feeling the hot spring water moistening his skin, making him feel very relaxed.

Sitting opposite Shanks, with his gray beard braided into a long braid and exposed muscular lines that are no less than those of a young man, he is none other than Jabba, the left arm of Pirate King Roger.

"If you and I join forces, can we save Ace?"

Jabba had a serious expression on his face. He was thinking about this issue seriously. He had never met Roger's son and had only seen Ace's picture in the newspaper.

Jabba has lived a happy life in seclusion in Elbaf with his wife for many years. The powerful giant kingdom has no foreign enemies and has been peaceful for decades.

Some giants left for adventure at sea, some returned to their hometown, and Jabba is now almost becoming a native of Elbaf.

The giants living in the giant village call Jabba Ashanshi, and not many people call him by his real name Jabba.

"It's easy to get involved in the war on the top. With your and my strength, it's not 100% certain that we can rescue Ace. The navy now is completely different from the navy in the past."

Shanks has his own intelligence channels, and the successive additions of admirals have greatly expanded the navy's strength.

Admiral Rabbit Hunter did not have a brilliant performance in the exposure scene. Admiral Green Bull and Admiral Kaitora can only be described as monsters, and the strength they displayed is not easy to deal with.

Admiral Kaitora is a fish-man who is good at naval battles. Admiral Green Bull is the fourth natural-type Devil Fruit user in the Navy and has a special ability to control plants.

Whitebeard and Golden Lion work together to attack Marineford. According to Shanks' prediction, the navy has a greater chance of winning.

Sengoku and Garp can also be transformed into combat power when necessary, and when the two pillars of the navy join the battle, they can add fuel to the flames and bring the war at the top to its climax.

"Will that old guy Garp watch the navy execute Ace? It's really difficult for him." Jabba could understand Garp's dilemma. If he were in Garp's position, he might not be able to do better than Garp.

"Luffy is a variable. I guess he will definitely join the war. For the sake of his two grandsons, Garp may turn against the navy," Shanks expressed his guess.

In the timeline where Tianmu is located, Ace was killed and Luffy was almost killed, which led to Garp making a big mistake in the battle and being imprisoned by the female marshal who later took over.

Now that things haven't happened yet, Luffy and Ace will only be in greater danger in Marineford. Garp can't control Akainu, and Sakaski will kill them as long as he finds an opportunity!

"I've lived too long. I always see things I don't want to see. Ace hopes he can survive."

Jabba turned around and looked at his good son, Cologne, who had the blood of half human and half giant. He did not worship his biological father, but worshipped his biological father's younger brother.

Cologne is a fanboy of Shanks and once begged Shanks to let him board the ship and go on adventures with the Red Hair Pirates, but was rejected by Shanks.

Cologne is a giant child. He is too young in age and mentally. Perhaps when he grows up, Shanks may take his own son on an adventure at sea for Jabba's sake.

"Luffy, whom you often mention, is he very powerful? I want to fight with him"!

Cologne was a little jealous of Luffy's position in Shanks' heart. Luffy was also a minor when he went to sea, but he was invited by Shanks, but Luffy refused.

If such a good thing happened to Cologne, he would definitely not refuse it. He would happily follow Shanks and fight for his idol.

Luffy was just a rookie pirate with a worth of just over 100 million, and not yet the emperor of the sea that he would later become. Cologne felt that with his size advantage, he might be able to defeat Luffy and gain Shanks' favor.

Jabba had never seen Luffy, and didn't know what kind of magic the kid who got Captain Roger's straw hat had that would make Shanks willingly put the straw hat on the head of Garp's grandson.

"Luffy has been training hard under Buggy's arrangement. Cologne is a fruit ability user. I think he can defeat you," Shanks has confidence in Luffy.

The lost arm was partly to establish a connection with Luffy, and partly to break Im's control over him. Shanks didn't want to become a Knight of God.

After hearing his idol's answer, Cologne had an aggrieved expression on his face, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was so hit that he was about to cry.

Jabba encouraged his son not to lose heart. Starting from next year, he could double his efforts in training Cologne, believing that he would be able to stand on his own one day.

Jabba can first teach Cologne how to use his domineering power. Giants who can use his domineering power will be more destructive and will no longer be sitting ducks.

The men's bath was discussing Ace and Luffy, and the women's bath was also discussing the brothers. The topic was started by Uta.

"Luffy doesn't know what this idiot is doing now. Is he sad because of Ace's matter?"

Uta and a group of female giants were soaking in the same hot spring. She was the smallest and could only sit on the shore.

In order to accommodate the little girl, the female giant did not dare to make any big movements in the hot spring. Once a large amount of water splashed, it would not affect the female giant, and Uta might be swept into the deep of the hot spring.

"Uta, do you like Luffy? While we were soaking in the hot spring, you kept talking about Luffy, but you are not old enough to get married yet"!

The female giant with brown twin ponytails is named Diane. She is not yet an adult and is a giant girl who is no more than ten meters tall.

Diane is from a giant tribe outside Elbaf. Some time ago, a giant girl took a ship to the strongest giant country and settled down here.

Diane maintains the innocence of a girl and gets along very well with Uta after getting to know her. Every girl has her own lovesickness. Diane wants to find a good husband to spend the rest of her life with her.

Uta's face immediately turned red. She didn't expect Diane to say it so bluntly. "Don't talk nonsense. Luffy and I are just friends... just friends..."

The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, attracting the laughter of the giant women around her.

Women mature earlier than men. Luffy has no love in his mind. If you want him to open up, you have to force him.
