"Little Titan" Thor has nothing to do on the "Golden Ghost". The ship doesn't seem to need... such a redundant "sailor".
When this guy first got on the ship, he only thought that the "Ghost Pirates" were just a fledgling pirate group with a powerful doctor and nothing worthy of much attention.
He thought that the group leader Raymond, a Sequence 5 swordsman, should be the most powerful master in the group.
He thought that as a giant at the peak of Sequence 4, he should at least have the highest strength on the ship.
Once upon a time, he had a sense of superior combat effectiveness because of this.
But...
After not getting along for long, Sol discovered that none of the guys on this ship had simple combat capabilities.
Needless to say, captain Raymond, the bounty of more than 200 million proves his strength.
Although this guy's rank is only Sequence 5, his combat power is unpredictable, and the sword skills he learned are also based on the "Jokudou-ryu" route, which is extremely murderous.
At least I, a giant who couldn't understand the arcana and "Qi Crystal", couldn't withstand a few blows from that guy's sharp sword.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the ship's mechanic Colin. In the previous battle on the "David Family Ship Island", he has fully proved that he is a super powerful mechanical alchemist.
Thor originally thought that apart from these two, he should be able to barely rank third in combat power on the ship...
The giants are warlike and like to use force to prove their status and use force to make friends.
But after some testing, he discovered that he was not even sure he could beat any of the remaining people!
The seemingly delicate Navigator Miss Anna is actually a super-powerful natural Devil Fruit user. After transforming into an elemental body, she just stood there and couldn't hurt her at all.
And Lulu, a doctor who stays in the laboratory all day doing biological experiments, has seven series of exclusive combat potions. The green potion that Monkey Jiji usually injects is just one of his experimental products... Legend has it that seven potions are one.
Poke, and the combat power instantly reaches the top transcendent!
As for Nicole...she is also a mechanic, so this is a profession...everyone knows it. She can wear a high-end combat uniform and beat any extraordinary person who is not domineering without being able to fight back.
There is also the "Flower Bear" chef who looks honest and honest, and does not leak any breath... He even knows an ancient martial arts fighting technique called "Martial Arts Qigong".
Even though Thor has been studying martial arts for many years, he considers himself to be extremely rich in combat skills.
But if you really want to compete with this flower bear, you will always be so obsessed with his "listening energy" that you can't use half of your strength, and you will be beaten no matter what...
.......
Originally stuck in Sequence 4 for more than 10 years, "Little Titan" Thor himself was a little shaken, wondering whether his persistence was worth it, and whether he really wanted to give up the giants' power talent and advance to ordinary human potions...
But now that he has met the "Ghost Pirates", a ship with extremely theoretical combat capabilities, he has completely made up his mind. He must break through the bloodline restrictions and advance to the advanced level of giant!
Otherwise, you cannot understand the domineering power, and the mysterious giant is simply a waste, no matter how advanced it is, it is still a waste!
With this level of ideological awareness, Thor became more active in his work on the ship. He also became more and more accustomed to the identity of "sailor". He was either a Titan prince, a giant, or an ordinary little sailor.
His daily work is also very simple. In addition to cooperating with Lu Lu in biological experiments, he also goes fishing with Fat Cat and helps beat up the fished Neptune species.
The giants have an extremely strong appetite, and a big eater has been added to the ship. Even a sea king can't eat for a few days. The fat cat's fishing has become more and more frequent and more and more lively.
He also has more opportunities to learn fighting skills from this lazy bear who only eats and sleeps. Even if he gets beaten up, he still laughs and enjoys it...
Raymond didn't think it was inappropriate to have a new crew member on the ship. Everyone gradually got along well with each other and felt that it was not bad to have such a strong sailor.
Of course...the only one I'm not satisfied with is Jiji the monkey!
Originally, biological experiments and fish hunting were its tasks, but now a guy came to "steal the job", which gave Monkey Jiji a very strong sense of crisis.
There are no idle monkeys on board!
The job has been robbed, and the only thing waiting for the "idle monkey" is the kitchen chopping board!
so,
This "stingy" monkey would occasionally provoke Sol with a grin on his face, often causing "fights".
After being injected with the "Titan Potion", Gigi followed the same arrogant line as the Giant, and his fighting style was greatly improved. He was also the only opponent on the ship whose strength made Thor feel "evenly matched", and allowed people to fight happily.
Therefore, this fighting maniac little giant and a giant prince did not care about his face, hanging out with a monkey all day long, and living a life without shame...
One person and one monkey beat up the fish, often fighting with fists and kicks...
Both sides were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and then they went to find Lulu in despair for treatment.
The days passed like this, but it was quite lively.
...
On this day, the "Golden Ghost" finally arrived at the Giant Island "Gaffatron" where the Giant King's Court is located.
The sacred tree with a diameter of several miles in the center of the royal court is already in sight. The huge tree trunk that reaches the end when you look up gives people a humble feeling of standing at the feet of the gods.
Even though Raymond is no stranger to this "world's largest tree" in the game, it can be seen that when he saw the real thing with his own eyes, he was still deeply moved by the wonder of the Creator.
The country of giants is known as the "Land of Ze", with open sea routes extending in all directions, and large ships can enter normally. However, the closer you get to the royal court, the channels become shallower and shallower. Except for small canoes with a very shallow draft, steam iron ships cannot pass at all.
.
If ordinary people want to enter "Jaffatron", they need to park a large ship in a deep-water harbor, then transfer to a small boat and paddle dozens of kilometers of winding dense forest rivers. After getting off the ship, they walk through the swamp forest area before finally reaching the cave under the roots of the giant tree.
The Court of Giants.
"Captain Raymond, big guy, we're almost there!"
Thor thought that no one in the ghost group had ever been to the Kingdom of Giants, so he enthusiastically introduced: "That is the royal court of our Kingdom of Giants, 'Jaffatron'. This entire Island of Giants is the root of the sacred tree.
Where they are, these elm forest islands are also branches of the sacred tree... There are many large monsters in the forest, and there are many poisonous miasma swamps, so we have to be careful..."
He added: "Of course, I am familiar with this place. Leave everything to me."
"It's finally here..."
Raymond nodded, looking at the dense forest area that was getting closer and closer, his eyes gradually deepened, and a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.
The islands and rivers are hidden under the towering broad-leaved elm forest. The first thing you see is a patch of green of different shades, full of vitality.
This is the country of jungles and the land of giant trees.
Viewed from a high enough place in the sky, this country of giants looks like an emerald gem set in the blue sea.
Towering giant trees can be seen everywhere here, and broad-leaved elm trees hundreds of meters high block out the sky and the sun. The sailing warships of the giants are made from cutting down these huge elm trees, which are the unique "green treasures" of the giant kingdom.
There are monsters hidden in the jungle and dangers abound.
There are giant anacondas, piranhas, ancient giant crocodiles, and various poisonous frogs in the water... There are many giant dinosaur-type monsters in the forest, including Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Plesiosaurs, Spinosaurus... and many more.
If you are not familiar with safe routes and rush into the forest, even top-level extraordinary people will be in danger.
"Tsk...I don't know if the monster branch here is exactly the same as in the game..."
Raymond raised his eyebrows, remembering the days of being a power leveler vividly in his mind.
He is familiar with almost all the "wild monster distribution areas" here, which monsters have high experience in killing, which monsters have high explosive equipment, and which monsters can sell materials for a good price...
...
The "Ghost Group" did not choose to park the ship in the deep-water harbor, but directly activated the iron toad's land mode and jumped through the jungle.
Raymond was very familiar with this forest, not to mention that Saul was a competent "guide". Together, the two of them planned a "safe route".
Therefore, they will not stray into the territory of some powerful monsters, nor will they stray into some dangerous dense forests.
For their "ghost group", this is a safer and more convenient way to travel deeper than changing boats.
"Anna, Colin, get ready to go! The 'Golden Ghost' switches to land mode and prepares to leap forward..."
"Yes, Captain! Hold on tight, everyone, be careful not to fall off due to jolts..."
"Wow~ Take off!"
"Ahahaha... Our 'Ghost Pirates' must be the only pirate group that can sail a steam ship to Jaffatron."
"..."
"Nicole, did you see...the Iron Toad you laughed at back then, is it very useful?"
"Hmph, no matter how useful it is, it can't hide the fact that it's ugly! In terms of functionality, my 'Eight-Legged Spider' can actually walk on land..."
"One day, I will make the 'Golden Ghost' really fly and soar into the sky like a giant dragon..."
"A toad with wings? It's even uglier!"
"Hahaha..."
Everyone stood on the deck, laughing and playing.
The ship's advance brought with it a howling wind, blowing everyone's cheeks, smoothing their hair, moistening the corners of their eyes... and outlining bright smiles.
The sound of wind chimes blowing in the woods in the evening breeze is like the sound of nature.
The giant city at the end of the field of vision is getting closer and closer, and the sunset is picturesque.
...
"Everyone is so awesome..."
The steam iron ship suddenly turned into an iron toad and started running and jumping on the forest land. The "Little Titan" Thor on the side was also a little surprised.
A steam iron ship that can run on land and fly in the sky?
What a fantastic and genius idea...
At this moment, it seemed that some soft spots in his heart were touched. Thor saw an unexplainable light in the eyes of everyone in the ghost group. It was the persistent pursuit of freedom, dreams, and happiness...
The longer we get along, the more it feels like we have discovered a treasure.
This is an adventure group that can always create "miracles".
...
The "Golden Ghost" made a high-profile leap through the jungle, leaping several kilometers at a time, and was extremely efficient on its way.
The iron toad, which is hundreds of meters long, holds a steam chimney with billowing white smoke in its mouth, like a ruffian toad, running rampant. It leaps quickly among the dense forests of the island, startling a large number of birds.
Because they had a detailed route plan, they avoided those powerful monster gathering areas and had a smooth journey.
Gradually,
The islands became more and more dense, and finally formed a large landmass.
In order to attract less attention, Raymond and the others lurked the Iron Toad in an unnamed small lake a hundred miles away from the royal court "Gaffatron".
The "Ghost Group", a group of eight people and one monkey, walked towards the huge city on foot.
...
The "Land of Giants" is a magical and ancient country, and their legends are spread in myths and stories.
The King's Court of Giants, Jaffatron, is a very spectacular super city, which can be called the magical "City of Giant Trees".
The "Treasure Tree" is several miles in diameter. From a distance, it looks like a thin brown line connecting heaven and earth.
But when you walk to the foot of this "world's first sacred tree", you will find that it is like a mountain range that cannot be seen from the top. The brown bark has been petrified, like a mountain stone, blocking the sky and the sun.
The giant tree gradually widens from the heel to the foot, like a steep hillside gradually becoming gentle. The widest point near the ground is dozens of kilometers in diameter. The city also spreads out, becoming more and more open.
Most of the buildings of the giants are based on red and white walls, with black roofs, made of stone and wood. Those rows of houses are built according to the "mountain", built layer by layer at the heels of the giant trees.
It's not even high, and looks extremely majestic.
Looking up, the canopy is towering, and there are waterfalls sloping down from the canopy of unknown heights. There is a cloud of white air, the sun shines, and there are colorful waterfalls hanging in the sky all year round, just like a fairyland.
Green leaves, white clouds, waterfalls, rainbows...
From time to time, huge white cranes and pterosaurs would fly through the sky, leaving a black shadow on the ground for a moment.
Everyone in the "Ghost Haize Group" finally walked outside the gray-white wall at the foot of the city.
They looked up at the colorful city "built on the mountain" not far away, and were all shocked.
"Little Titan" Thor proudly introduced this majestic city and said: "This is the holy land of our giants, the largest city in the world. There are more than one million giants permanently living in the city, and there are also people from all over the world.
Adventurers from all seas...Here are the strongest warrior heritage, the oldest civilization relics, and the freest trading market in the world..."
"Wow, it's so beautiful! Is this the Royal Court of Giants..."
Anna's dream is to be a great adventurer traveling around the world. Now she has finally set foot on this magnificent fairyland-like city for the first time and probably the only time in her life.
It's like turning over a new page of civilization. Every time you look at it, there are brand new things.
The world's only "Sacred Tree that reaches the sky", ancient giants, mythical totems, and a colorful tree city built on the mountain...
Everything was extremely new to her.
In the city, countless tall giants were shuttled back and forth, and various large tamed monsters were also strolling along the streets with their owners...
Everything is "big".
The hundred-meter-tall boulder city wall, the golden copper nails on the city gate are as big as a person... The tall stone steps are one or two meters high... Shops, restaurants, streets... are all magnified from ordinary human cities.
Ten times the size.
Anna's beautiful eyes are full of novelty, and she always feels dizzy.
She said excitedly: "I must record everything about this city in detail in our logbook! This will definitely be a highlight in the adventure of our 'ghost group'..."
"Wow...it's such a big tree!"
Colin on the side looked at the "sacred tree" in front of him, his eyes shining brightly.
He said: "I only heard that there is such an endlessly tall sacred tree in the country of giants. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I find it even more unbelievable. It is so amazing. Why can it grow so tall, even if it is the limit of matter?
It's not enough to support the weight of such a huge tree trunk..."
He couldn't wait to say, "Captain, Nicole and I really want to see how it grows..."
Lulu, on the other hand, kept staring at the giants walking on the city streets with shining eyes.
"Wow...there are so many giants here!"
He was like a crazy man who saw the naked girl and said excitedly: "Captain, can I collect their biological samples?"
The fat cat also smacked his lips, and the corners of his lips were moist with saliva, and he muttered: "I heard that the giants have many 'giant recipes' for increasing strength. I want to go to their restaurant to have a try and communicate with the giant chef.
Learn..."
"OK!"
Seeing that everyone was eager to get a taste of this magical country, Raymond also smiled and nodded, saying: "Everyone can move around freely first, and use the phone to contact us if you need anything. We will stay here for a while.
time..."
"Okay, Captain! Let's go first..."
Everyone responded with a smile, and immediately ran happily like a foal out of the stalls to the giant city not far away.
The greedy Gigi followed Fat Cat, Sol Pianpian followed Lulu, and Colin and Nicole walked together affectionately.
In a blink of an eye, only Raymond and Anna were left.
"Oh...it's just the two of us."
Anna turned to look at Raymond, smiled, and asked: "Oh, my captain, do you want to invite your beautiful navigator to go shopping?"
"It's my pleasure."
Raymond nodded happily.
"Then let's go~"
Anna didn't hesitate and took Raymond's arm in her arms intimately. With an excited smile on her face, she pulled him and strode towards the city.
It's fun.
Of course, [God Assassin] Arno, who is lurking in the dark, is indispensable and will accompany you all the way.
