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

The Five Elders, who originally had a numerical advantage on the battlefield, were suddenly at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers.

They were facing off against a race of giants, theoretically numbering over a hundred and flowing with ancient blood, at the same time. This spectacular confrontation was only of great joy to the pirates.

Luffy, laughing and joking, leaped lightly onto the broad shoulder of the nearest giant.

He curiously approached and carefully examined the Titans that Eren had created. Each one had a completely different facial profile, with some being resolute young men and others being elderly men with white hair and beards.

"So these created giants aren't alive?"

Luffy muttered to himself, a hint of regret in his voice, "That really seems a bit of a shame..."

He reached out and gently touched the giant's cold cheek beneath his feet; the touch was like that of hard rock, devoid of any warmth.

Every giant had a nearly identical deathly pale complexion, devoid of any color in their skin, with no heartbeat in their chest and no sensation of blood flowing beneath their skin.

It is unknown what fills these enormous bodies; they do not seem to be purely lifeless puppets.

Feeling Luffy's touch, the giant slowly and stiffly turned his head. His empty whites filled most of his eyeballs, and he looked terrifying, no different from a dead man.

It didn't hurt Luffy. On the contrary, it slowly but gently raised its free left hand and gently pressed Luffy's head with the rough back of its fingers, as if it were comforting a naughty child.

Luffy didn't dodge. He found the interaction with these giants strange and interesting. These giants, created by the Founding Titan, were most likely modeled after the living Titans.

"Wow, there are flying giants too, and more than one!" Luffy exclaimed as he looked up at the sky after the giant withdrew his hand.

Some giants could be seen with no visible thick arms, only enormous wings covered in feathers, like the legendary griffins, circling in the night sky.

With this ability to fly, there were probably more than ten giants soaring through the sky.

Just then, the destructive rain of fire that Itsumade poured down descended!

Without hesitation, the flying giants charged straight into the scorching rain of fire.

Their bodies were quickly covered with a layer of hard, translucent white crystals, the hardening that had appeared in the sky before.

They actually used their massive flying bodies as shields to forcefully block the falling fire rain.

The inextinguishable fire, powerful enough to melt gold and iron, struck the hardened giant's body but could not penetrate it, only scattering countless sparks.

The flying giants used their bodies as walls to extinguish the flames falling from the sky in the most direct and brutal way.

This scene was truly breathtaking!

Itsumade encountered an unprecedented situation: it was surrounded by a group of flying, hardened giants.

Although these giants did not attack it for the time being, but simply hovered in the air expressionlessly, the oppressive feeling of silently awaiting some kind of command was suffocating.

These created giants, after being freed from the direct control of the Founding Titan line, surprisingly possessed a high degree of autonomy.

Itsumade used to do whatever he wanted because he could fly, but now he has met an opponent who can also fly, and it's time to test his aerial combat skills.

Luffy really picked a good target; the giant he jumped onto his shoulder was clearly different from other giants.

Aside from his thick, coarse beard, this giant also had a pair of ferocious, demonic black horns on the top of his head.

This characteristic is extremely obvious; none of the other giants that have borne this trait have it.

Of course, the younger generation no longer recognizes the face of this giant, after all, he is an old man who has been dead for many years.

In the interplay of moonlight and shadow, only a blurry outline could be seen, leading the Five Elders to feel that the figure was somewhat familiar.

The first to charge forward, Nasujuro Sei, drew a chilling, eerie light with the first generation Kitetsu in his hand, moving at a terrifying speed.

His target was Luffy, who was standing on the shoulders of a giant, completely ignoring the lifeless giant at Luffy's feet.

The first generation Kitetsu, carrying a chilling aura, approached Luffy. It was too late for Luffy to dodge. The eerie and unpredictable blade, imbued with a dark and domineering aura, slashed fiercely down at his head.

At this critical moment——

The giant with two horns on its head that Luffy was standing on moved!

Its movements displayed astonishing agility far exceeding that of ordinary giants; the heavy greatsword it wielded with one hand was already longer than that of an ordinary giant.

With an agility disproportionate to his size, he moved sideways to parry without any fancy moves, meeting the first generation Kitetsu's slash head-on.

Clang-! !

An ear-piercing metallic clang, accompanied by a surge of energy, erupted with a deafening roar.

Nasujuro Sei's slash was also imbued with a ferocious Conqueror's Haki, while the giant's greatsword, in the instant of parrying, also unleashed a powerful Conqueror's Haki aura, full of ancient fighting spirit.

Two equally powerful Conqueror's Haki colors clashed violently at such close range.

Dark lightning, as if alive, burst forth wildly from the point where swords clashed, tearing and distorting the surrounding space, crackling and popping!

The clash of Conqueror's Haki was evenly matched for a time, but in terms of pure power, the Giants were the clear winner!

That is an absolute power difference that originates from bloodline, physique, and the essence of life!

Nasujiro Sei felt a terrifying force, like a mountain collapsing, surge through his arm and then down his body along the first generation Kitetsu.

His attack was not only completely blocked, but he was also thrown off the ground by the brute force.

In that brief moment of close combat where swords clashed, by the light of the pale moonlight and the clash of domineering auras, Nasujiro Sei clearly saw the face of the giant he was fighting.

That rugged face, covered with a thick beard and topped with devilish horns, though its skin was lifeless and its eyes were empty and dead gray, was a face he would never mistake.

"No...impossible!"

Nasujiro Sei, who was violently flung into the air, showed extreme shock for the first time on his wrinkled old face.

A look of doubt, and even a hint of fear, crossed his face.

Nasujiro Sei retreated to his ribs to regain his footing. His lips trembled as he stood with his bald head trembling, his gaze fixed on the two-horned giant who stood holding a sword, as if he were seeing the most unbelievable ghost in the world.

"You...you can't possibly still be alive!" His voice was distorted with extreme shock.
