Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Luffy said, "As for those giants, they should be somewhere in the New World, but you won't be able to see them."

He was telling the truth; Borsong was a giant from eight hundred years ago and should be long gone by now.

But Harald clearly misunderstood.

"A new world?" he murmured to himself.

If the Great Hammer Chapter really exists and is hiding somewhere in the New World, then he must find them!

"Then I'll be going now."

Luffy grinned, then, without further delay, gripped Tengetsu and turned to rush towards the time wormhole.

"Wait a minute!"

Harald quickly strode after him.

He still had so many questions to ask!

Moreover, that exchange of blows just now, though brief, gave off a feeling of mutual respect.

In this sacred place filled with hostility and misunderstanding, it is extremely rare to encounter someone of equal strength who has no ill intentions!

Harald decided to follow Luffy, at least to get out of this chaotic area first.

As a result, he lost track of them.

.......

Harald's speed was not slow either; after all, he was a giant, and one of his steps was equivalent to dozens of steps for a human.

But Luffy is extremely fast.

The two walked one after the other through the buildings of the holy site, knocking over several squads of guards along the way.

Then Harald disappeared somewhere.

Tenzuki Toki pointed to a building that looked like a warehouse in front of them: "Lord Luffy, it's in there!"

Without hesitation, Luffy punched open the heavy metal door.

A wave of cold air hit me.

The scene behind the door stunned even the well-traveled Luffy.

This is a huge cold storage room with extremely low temperatures; the walls and floor are covered with thick frost.

And within the frost, frozen, were enormous figures.

giant.

Dozens of giants were all frozen here.

They maintained the postures they had before they died; some had their eyes wide open in anger, some reached out as if to grab something, and some curled up in a huddle.

They all have horns on their heads similar to Harald's.

The bloodline of ancient giants.

They were all treated as specimens.

"What... what is this?"

Tenzuki covered his mouth, his eyes filled with shock and fear.

Luffy's face darkened.

He already knew that this was Mary Geoise, the place where the Celestial Dragons lived.

These frozen giants were clearly the work of those guys.

Although I know that the Celestial Dragons are not human and do not regard other races as human, I still felt nauseous when I saw such a scene with my own eyes.

What does life mean to these world's aristocrats?

Collectibles?

Toy?

Or is it just decoration?

Luffy's eyes flickered slightly, and his Observation Haki detected two terrifying, beast-like auras beside him.

"Lord Luffy?"

"Hurry up."

Tianyue immediately hugged his waist tightly.

Luffy didn't try to destroy the frozen giants. He didn't know what would happen after they thawed; perhaps they were already dead, or perhaps thawing would only accelerate their decay.

But he can do something else.

The black blade's demonic intent appeared in his hand, and the blade began to vibrate, emitting a low hum.

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, mixed with Conqueror's Haki, resonated at a special frequency.

Luffy's gaze fell on a wall deep inside the cold storage.

His Observation Haki told him that there was something on the other side of the wall.

"rubber,"

His arm stretched back, his muscles tensed, and the vibrations on the black knife grew more and more intense, even distorting the surrounding air.

"A hegemonic nation!"

A single slash!

The walls were torn apart like paper, cutting into a huge entrance.

Cold air poured out from the broken gap, but a warm feeling came from the other side.

When Luffy was carrying Tengetsu, he stepped into the space behind the wall.

......

In stark contrast to the biting cold of the cold storage, this is a lush green garden.

Exotic flowers and plants stretch their branches and leaves in the warm and humid air, butterflies flutter among the flowers, and sunlight shines through the transparent dome, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground.

In the center of the garden, a person with their back to everyone is reaching out a finger to tease a blue butterfly that has landed on it.

The person was wearing a loose robe, and their figure was blurred in the light and shadow, making it difficult to see clearly.

But that aura...

Danger.

Extremely dangerous!

Two other people were standing on one side of the garden.

A tall man in a black cloak, with an arrogant smile on his face, was looking at the figure whose back was to the crowd.

The other was a woman dressed as a maid, watching everything with a blank expression.

"The lives of a few kings are not enough to threaten Mu."

The figure with his back to the crowd spoke, his voice neutral, indistinguishable between male and female, yet possessing a strange penetrating power, as if resonating directly in the depths of one's mind.

"That's true,"

The man in the black cloak grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "But the Holy Land is in chaos, isn't it? This is an unprecedented event."

Just then, Luffy burst through the wall.

The loud explosion and the chill from the cold storage rushed into the tranquil garden.

The figure, with his back to the crowd, paused.

The blue butterfly struggled for a moment on his fingertip before being gently crushed.

He slowly turned around.

Luffy saw what the other person looked like...

Or rather, it's not clear.

The person's face was shrouded in a hazy light and shadow, and only the outline could be vaguely seen.

But his eyes,

Those empty, seemingly devoid of anything, eyes were fixed intently on Luffy.

"Hey, where is this?" Luffy asked.

Im: "......"

maid:"......."

"Why would there be a man in a place like this... and he even brought a woman in with him?"

Rocks looked at Luffy and Tengetsu with a hint of doubt on his face, and asked, "Do you have the same goal as me?"

"What is your purpose?" Luffy retorted, while simultaneously shielding Toki Amagi behind him.

"I have something to announce!"

Lox opened his arms wide, his smile wild and unrestrained, "The David family has returned!"

The David family?

This name sounds familiar.

Luffy sounds familiar.

At this moment, Im, who had been completely calm just moments before, finally turned around and stared intently at the two people in front of him.

No, or rather, her eyes were fixed on Luffy.

His emotions fluctuated for the first time.

"Nika Fruit?"

"Joey Boy?!"

Upon hearing this,
