The room fell into dead silence for a moment.
The previous joy due to the return of the two giant captains has long since disappeared.
Harald rubbed his temples.
As the king of the giant clan, he cannot be willful.
Had he known that the first ability a king had to learn was compromise, Harald swore that he would never become a king.
"Loki...Prince."
In the end, Broki, who still couldn't stand it, said:
"In fact, there is no need to be so extreme. Maybe we can ask the two bosses of the Beast Pirates to come to Elbaf."
"You can make plans after seeing their character and strength."
"You don't want to go to sea with some weird humans, right?"
Loki looked at Broki in surprise, knowing that the other giants called him--
[The Cursed Prince Loki! 】
No matter how bad it is, it’s still--
∣ [Monster Prince], [The monster that cursed the mother] and the like.
The number of giants like Broki who directly called him Prince Loki can be counted on one hand.
Loki silently put on the white cloth to cover his terrifying eyes.
"I will never admit the path you are taking now, father."
Turn around and leave.
“Brocky, Dongli, I will wait for you in the underworld, if you have the courage to come in.”
“Don’t let me down.”
The glass door leading to the balcony was slammed shut.
"I'm sorry, that child's character has been a little distorted, it's all my fault."
Harald sighed heavily, still rubbing his temples with both hands.
By chance, Broki saw the strange tattoo on Harald’s left arm through the wide sleeves.
Harald looked down and said, "Ah, you are talking about this tattoo."
"This is the symbol of the World Government. I have been trying to get the Kingdom of Woland to join the world government's trading system. They said that this tattoo is the symbol of joining them."
"There are many human kings on the sea who have this tattoo, but I am a bit special."
"Is that so, but that would be really difficult, ba ba ba ba~"
Broki didn't pay much attention.
"If it were me, I would definitely get a headache and die from this kind of thing."
Dongli and Broki got together and raised the barrel.
"That's why we are not suitable to be kings, Broki, Jie Jie Jie~~"
"You two bastards!"
Harald took out the third wine barrel and collided hard with the barrels raised by the two brothers.
"Drink a drink for your return, hahaha~"
------------------
A few days later, the giant's grand banquet ended.
After resting for a whole day, Dongli and Broki traveled together and embarked on the road to the underworld.
【The bottom layer of the World Tree】
Endless ice and snow cover the first level of the Kingdom of Woland.
Heavy rain and strong wind are like best friends for many years. They stay here but have no intention of leaving.
On the coastline of the underworld, the Rainbow Bridge falls from the middle Yang Realm.
A fog boat sails down the rainbow road.
Ding Dong~
"Ah, it's the two captains Dongli and Broki. They are really rare guests."
In the port tavern on the edge of the underworld, Mado, who was wiping his wine glass, raised his head.
Short blond shawl hair with slightly upturned ends.
The fair face is dotted with a few freckles, but these "flaws" do not detract from the charm of the giant girl.
On the contrary, it adds a touch of sunshine and playfulness to it.
"Lippli, the giant captain is back, bring out the good wine~~"
"I know~ Really, I just came to see how you are doing, I am not a waiter in the tavern, Maduo!"
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, who made you my good friend!"
Hima Duo laughed and apologized towards the back room of the bar, and then looked at Dongli.
"Sorry, because this is an external bar founded by Date-sama, it may be noisy. After all, in addition to the giants, the guests here also include nearby human pirates."
Hongli glanced at the human pirates sitting in the lobby bragging, and sneered disdainfully:
"A bunch of trash, compared to the two men of the Beast Pirates, calling them trash is just insulting trash."
"Hey, Giant, what are you talking about!?"
A domineering aura that is very different from Bazel and Kaido rushed out.
"I am a man who has awakened the qualifications of a king. I am the pirate king Adams Belen who is destined to conquer this sea..."
"Ah, ah, I understand, please shut up, please don't show your courage to shame."
Dongli picked his ears with a look of disdain.
"The domineering power I feel in Kaido and Bazel is hundreds of times that of you!"
The pirates smashed their wine glasses and stood up.
"Hey, you giant bastard, what are you talking about? Don't think that since this is Elbaf, we dare not take action!"
"That's right! We are free pirates!!"
"Are you, Elbaf, planning to declare war on us humans?!"
Dongli frowned slightly and held the hilt of the big sword with his right hand. When he was about to take action, Maduo held him back.
hh "You can't do anything here, Captain Dongli."
hh Mado bowed to the humans and apologized, and said that he would serve wine later.
Once they heard that there was better wine, the human pirates sat down.
…Mado, I haven't seen you for many years, when did Elbaf become such a weak place?"
Brocki's face was as gloomy as the sky in the underworld.
"It's been a long time since you two came back."
Lipli brought a large barrel of wine, and first poured the humans a glass of wine that was larger than their height, and then sat down next to the two of them.
"King Harald plans to let Elbaf join the world government's trading system. One of the most important things is to change the character of today's giants."
"You also know the character of the previous giants, but Harald doesn't like it."
"He believes that reasonable force is indeed necessary, but unprovoked violence is something that the giant country should avoid in the future."
A letter was thrown on the table, and Lipli leaned back on the back of the bar chair.
h "I received a letter from the king a few days ago. He wants to open a school specifically to teach giant children, but because there are no teachers and books, this plan can only be shelved temporarily."
h "But there is already a candidate for the selection of teachers."
“Besides me, there are several giants with good character who have obtained this letter.”
hh "How could Harald make such a dizzy policy? Elbaf is the birthplace of war. Even if it needs to be changed, it should not make the descendants of the giants the same as humans."
hh Handing the letter to Broki, Dongli did not drink and turned to look at Lipli.
"You're not really going to teach those brats in school how to hold a pen, are you?"
Lipli shrugged: "Then what else can we do? Do we still want to disobey the king's order?"
Dongli was speechless.
Brocky handed the letter back to Lipley, stood up and picked up the bucket of wine that had just been taken out.
"Let's talk about this later. We left Dongli and it's time to find Prince Loki."
"That's right, we don't intend to abide by those old antique traditions."
Before leaving, Dongli turned his head and smiled at Mado and said:
"We will be a new generation of giants, don't worry, Miss Mado, Harald knows what Brocky and I plan to do."
"If nothing else happens, we will take Loki away, which will be a good thing for both Elbaf and him."
"Leave? Where are you going?" Lipli asked curiously.
「出海，加入百兽海贼团，成为海贼！」
……
数小时后，携带猎物和美酒的东利、布洛基找到靠着世界树树干打瞌睡的洛基。
"You are finally here, I am getting impatient for waiting."
Loki opened his eyes. When a person is sleeping soundly here, he is not in the habit of closing his eyes.
"Wolf, Eagle, you go and play, there are very important things to talk about next."
Bang~~
The plucked and bled prey was smashed into the snow. Dongli skillfully set up a bonfire. After putting down the wine barrel, Broki began to manipulate the fire source.
Loki was not there either. He opened the lid of the big wine barrel and took a deep drink.
“I haven’t had a drink in a long time. It’s the wine from the port bar, right?
That bar was founded when my brother’s mother was still alive. She said it was the giant’s window to the outside world. "
"So, the two captains..."
Wiping away the wine dripping from the corner of his mouth, Loki looked at the two rare guests.
"Can you tell me the story of those two men?"
"Especially the one you mentioned..."
“A man who looks a bit like my idol!”
