One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix.

Deep in the New World, to the east of Wano Country, in this untouched area of ​​the vast and boundless sea, there is a pure land far away from the hustle and bustle of human beings.

From a distance, this is an island, but it seems a little inappropriate to call it an island. This island is really too big. Just standing in an extremely remote place and looking along the white waves rolling forward, It's impossible to see its edges.

Not to mention the stunning and magnificent scenery on the island.

The green and ancient giant tree reaching into the sky is still standing on the vibrant earth after having existed for countless years. The old tree trunk that requires five or six adults to hold hands still has new buds pulling out.

Between the branches and leaves that grow chaotically and intertwined with each other, bunches of sunlight as thick as a thumb pass through the gaps between the green leaves, becoming the only source of light in this dark "sea of ​​giant trees".

Roar--!

Among the thick branches of the trees, the orange-and-white-striped tiger put down its prey and roared at the uninvited guest who broke into its territory below.

"It's spectacular, isn't it? The first time I came here was as an intern of the Roger Pirates, and so many years have passed before I knew it." Looking at the miraculous scenery of nature, Shanks was quite puzzled. Said out of nostalgia.

"Let's go, don't keep our old friend waiting!"

The mottled light and shadow hit the bodies of the red-haired pirates and An, and the hazy light seemed to cover them with a thin veil.

The group of people walked towards the end of the giant forest, and An suddenly said: "Shanks, this is the legendary Elbaf, right?"

Through the sailing direction of the Red Voss and the bizarre scenery on this island, it was not difficult for her to guess that this should be the pirate world, which was second only in mystery to the giant kingdom deep in the holy land of Mariejoia.

Shanks nodded and said: "You guessed it right, there is nothing we can do. After all, ordinary people can't raise a giant dragon."

"Besides the dragon, Shanks, there may be other purposes for bringing me here."

Recalling the other party's performance in Devastin, An felt more and more something was wrong the more he thought about it. Beckman, who had a wisdom that was not inferior to that of the Warring States Period, would not fail to understand the consequences of doing so.

If the result has been predicted long ago but still acts in that way, the only reasonable explanation that can be given is that the other party has a deeper purpose.

Hahaha!

With an awkward smile on his face as his plan was exposed, a certain red-haired bastard scratched his head and immediately betrayed his partner and said: "This is not my decision, it was all Beckman's idea!"

"I'm horny!"

Beckman had just lit a cigarette and before he could take a few puffs, he heard the voice of his own captain.

But he has long been accustomed to it, or the entire red-haired pirate group is like this, and they will throw the blame on his head when something goes wrong.

It really corresponds to the saying, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked." The captain will have the same crew.

An glanced at Beckman who was walking in front, and then said angrily: "Now that we're all here, let's stop hiding it. Just tell us what the purpose is."

Hahahahaha!

Shanks laughed dryly again, and said with an unnatural look on his face: "It's a long story."

"Then don't say it!"

After being speechless for a moment, Shanks slowly spoke: "This has something to do with the dead Captain Roger."

"The thing is like this. More than twenty years ago, Captain Roger agreed to the challenge of the King of Giants in order to let the giants help hatch dragon eggs. However, he ran away on the eve of the competition and was publicly executed by the navy a few months later. .”

"The captain's public execution made the proud king of the giants feel extremely humiliated. After that, he refused to allow others to approach the dragon egg."

"So, I thought that since you are the captain's daughter, you might have a chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice came from the distance.

"Little Shanks, didn't I tell you that members of the Roger Pirates should never step into Elbaf again? The Giants always keep their word!!"

Unknowingly, the group of people had walked out of the 'Forest of Giant Trees' and arrived in front of a village.

In the center of the village is a tall stone statue. Through the rough carving style of the giant craftsmen, it can be barely seen that it is a figure holding a giant hammer, wearing pants and black beast boots made of beast fur on the lower body, and a muscular chest on the upper body. A strong giant male who is naked and has a cloak behind him.

His eyes slowly moved down, and unfortunately, in front of the rows of houses made of thick trees in the giant village, there was a middle-aged giant with a vaguely similar appearance to the sculpture blocking the door.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty Odin, I didn't come alone this time. I brought Captain Roger's daughter to fulfill my promise."

"Ann's strength is even much stronger than Captain Roger."

Shanks responded quickly with his mouth like a machine gun, fearing that the other party would force him out like last time.

"Roger's daughter."

The middle-aged giant named His Majesty Odin pondered for a moment and was about to refuse.

The giant young man with short black hair who had been standing next to Odin interrupted: "Father, we are guests from afar. You should let them rest for a while."

The speaker was the prince of the giants, Loki.

"Humph!"

Odin was obviously dissatisfied, but he couldn't refuse his son's request. He could only snort, turn around and walk towards the depths of the village.

Looking at his father who left angrily, Loki said helplessly: "Come up, everyone, a banquet has been set up in the palace."

Climbing onto Loki's shoulders, everyone headed towards the magnificent city in the distance.

On the way, Loki suddenly said: "Don't take it too seriously. My father just resents Roger for breaking the promise. He doesn't really hate you. Besides, my name is Loki and I am the prince of the giants."

He looked up in surprise at the man next to him with black hair, a rugged face and a crown, and felt a huge contrast in his heart.

"It's just a small thing. I don't care. On the contrary, you interest me more. It seems that you are different from other giants who only advocate force."

Hahahahaha!

After hearing An's praise, Loki suddenly laughed proudly, and his thunderous laughter was filled with pride.

"It's an honor to be praised by Monkey D. Ann. You are my idol."

This time it was An's turn to look surprised. .

Loki continued: "As you can see, I know more than other giants, and I understand more. In addition, I have a better relationship with Shanks, so I know everything about you."

"In terms of worshiping power, I am no different from other giants. You are the strongest person in my impression!"

"Although it is a bit hard to ask for mercy from my opponent, I still hope that you will be merciful in the competition later. After all, my father is already 260 years old."

An looked surprised and said: "260 years old is really an exaggerated number."

Loki explained: "Compared with humans, we giants can generally live to be 300 years old, and 260 years old is considered a high-risk group among the giants."
