Chapter 237 Entering the Kingdom of Elgia

The precious tree Adam stands tall on the earth, connecting the sky and the earth.

The trunk grows straight upward, as if it is about to pierce the sky.

The tree canopy is lush and green, like a huge green umbrella.

However, the umbrella cover is full of holes, and sunlight and rain can still reach the island below through the gaps between the leaves.

"Land!" Xia Jieren gave the latest order to the airship bug.

The airship worm slowly descended, and after a moment, it broke through the clouds.

"It's so thick!" Xia Jieren stared at the tree trunk that seemed to penetrate the sky and the earth, and marveled at it.

Amid Xia Jieren's exclamation, the airship worm slowly landed next to the port of Elgia.

It is called a port, but in fact it is a dock built with wooden frames.

Xia Jieren looked at the simple dock, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It’s not that Xia Jieren looked down on them, the docks used by the fishermen in the Kingdom of the Netherlands were better than theirs.

The alert giant had already discovered the airship bug falling from the sky.

It was just that because the airship bugs didn't show any aggressive behavior, they just became more vigilant and didn't rush forward rashly.

As Xia Jieren scanned the dock, the ground shook slightly.

He turned his head and saw a giant more than ten meters tall walking towards the airship worm.

"What a thick beard." Xia Jieren carefully observed the approaching giant and felt slightly excited.

When he came closer, Xia Jieren took the lead in introducing himself: "I am the special envoy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands - Xia Jieren. It is an honor to meet you, Your Excellency."

Just as Xia Jieren was greeting, Taili and Gate slightly turned sideways and stood in front of him to prevent the giant from suddenly attacking and hurting people.

"My name is Cole, and I'm a warrior of the Kingdom of Elgea. You are now in the territory of the Kingdom of Elgea, please leave as soon as possible, otherwise I will use force to expel you." The giant named Cole warned indifferently.

After saying that, he did not forget to strike a fighting stance, trying to intimidate Xia Jieren and others.

When Cole got serious, a sense of oppression came over him.

At this time, Taili and Gate stepped forward with serious eyes. They looked directly at Cole, as if they were ready to fight if they disagreed with him.

The thirty insect people following Xia Jieren also raised their guns and aimed at Cole's head.

Seeing this situation, Cole felt a sense of crisis.

His muscles tensed instantly and he was ready to take action.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Xia Jieren gently pushed aside the two bodyguards, Taili and Gate, and put on a kind smile on his face, "Hello, Lord Cole. I am here to visit the Kingdom of Eljia on behalf of the Kingdom of the Netherlands."

In order to show that he and his companions had no ill intentions, Xia Jieren waved his hand and signaled the insect man behind him to put down his gun.

Seeing this scene, Cole also relaxed.

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands? I seem to have heard of this name somewhere before." Cole muttered, "Forget it! I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's leave this matter to His Majesty King Willy."

After learning the purpose of Xia Jieren's men's visit, Cole's expression eased a little. He asked in a muffled voice, "How do you prove your identity?"

"Uh~" Xia Jieren was speechless for a moment.

Well, that's a good question.

How should Xia Jieren prove his identity?

After thinking for a moment, Xia Jieren asked someone to take out the flag representing the Dutch royal family - the golden ear of wheat.

Seeing that they so calmly took out the flag representing their country's royal family, Cole did not have too many doubts.

People in this world have a special belief in flags.

For example, most pirates attach great importance to their own pirate flag.

For example, nobles used flags or coats of arms as symbols or honors of their families.

"Okay! Wait a moment. I'll contact His Majesty the King right away." Cole carefully pinched out a Den Den Mushi from somewhere and placed it in his hand.

"Huh~, you believe it now." Xia Jieren looked surprised.

He was prepared to be rejected or even deported.

After being surprised, he thought about it and understood.

Cole didn't really trust Xia Jieren and the others, he was just confident in himself and the strength of the Kingdom of Elgea.

He believed that with himself and the Kingdom of Elgea behind him, Xia Jieren would not be able to cause any trouble.

Xia Jieren had no complaints about this.

The strength of the Giant Kingdom of Elgea is there.

Even though the Kingdom of Elgea only has 102,351 people now, their strength is definitely enough to sweep all the West Sea countries except the West Empire.

Moreover, all the giants are soldiers, and even the children of the giants have fighting power that crushes ordinary adults.

Cole talked to Den Den Mushi for a while, then said, "Let's go! His Majesty King Willy asked me to take you to the capital."

He didn't take two steps before turning his head and adding, "By the way, you can't bring too many people."

"Okay!" Xia Jieren agreed repeatedly, "I will only bring ten people."

Cole nodded slightly and said nothing more.

He remained silent throughout the trip.

However, from time to time, he looked curiously at the worker bees riding on Xia Jieren and others.

Xia Jieren was worried that he had no chance to get closer to the giant, so he introduced enthusiastically: "This is a worker bee, a creation of my devil fruit ability."

Seeing Xia Jieren revealing the ability of his devil fruit without any hesitation, Cole's eyes flashed with surprise.

"So he's a devil fruit user." Cole understood.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and blurted out: "You are the devil fruit user who controls insect beasts in the Netherlands Kingdom."

"Yes! It's me." Xia Jieren was surprised for a moment, then admitted it directly.

Although the Kingdom of Elgea is relatively closed, that is only true for ordinary people and pirates.

The News Bird visits the Kingdom of Elgea every day, bringing information from the outside world to the giants.

"Why did you come to our Kingdom of Elgia?" Cole asked puzzledly.

He was really confused, as the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Elgia were at the two ends of the West Sea, far apart from each other.

He didn't understand why Xia Jieren came all the way here.

"I came here mainly to establish friendship with your country and to take a look at the precious Adam tree." Xia Jieren did not hide the purpose of his visit at all.

Hearing this, Cole grinned and said, "Haha~, kid. Not everyone is qualified to be friends with our Elkia Kingdom."

"If you don't suit the taste of our giants, you won't gain our friendship no matter how strong you are."

When he said this, his words were full of pride.

"Of course." Xia Jieren replied with a smile.

After chatting for a while, the atmosphere became silent again.

Cole led Xia Jieren and others northward.

During this period, we encountered three or two villages.

The houses where the giants live in the village are very monotonous, and most of them are made of wood.

Moreover, there are very few giants in a village, only about two to three hundred at most.
