Chapter 716: Preparation for the Decisive Battle
Xia Jieren took two steps forward and greeted politely, "Sorry to bother you all."
"People from the outside sea! What are you doing in Elbaf?" A giant elder with a slightly old face and thick brown beard stepped forward and asked Xia Jieren and others why they came.
Xia Jieren did not hide anything and said bluntly: "We are here to find a giant named Sauro. Do you know where he is?"
"Sauro? What do you want from him?" the giant elder asked.
"Sauro is my wife's benefactor!" Xia Jieren pointed at Robin, then at Kuzan, and said, "He is this person's good friend!"
The giant elder nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Xia Jieren added: "You can inform Sauro first and tell him that Robin and Kuzan are here to see him."
"Sauro would probably want to meet them."
"Okay!" The giant elder had no reason to refuse. "Please wait for a moment. I will send someone to inform Sauro."
So, Xia Jieren and others waited patiently outside the village.
The giants around cast curious glances at Xia Jieren and the others, whispering to them from time to time.
Xia Jieren felt like a monkey in a zoo, feeling uncomfortable all over.
However, he also knew that the giants had no ill intentions and were simply curious, so he did not feel unhappy.
half an hour.
Sauro rushed over excitedly from a distance, "Hey! Robin! Kuzan!"
From a distance, I could hear Sauro's excited voice and unique laughter.
"Sauro!" Robin looked at the familiar figure with tears in his eyes.
Kuzan felt complicated, a mixture of happiness and guilt, especially when he saw the burn marks all over Sauro's body, he couldn't help but sigh.
When he came in front of Xia Jieren and others, Sauro stopped, breathing heavily, with an excited smile on his face.
"Robin, you've grown up!"
Robin hummed softly and choked up, "Sauro, you're okay... That's great!"
"This is all thanks to Kuzan's mercy! I thought I was going to die!" Sauro laughed and said, "I knew you were a good guy, Kuzan!"
Hearing this, Kuzan laughed bitterly: "You are able to survive, thanks to your strong luck!"
"No!" Sauro said sternly, "Thank you for showing mercy, Kuzan! I have wanted to thank you for a long time."
Kuzan nodded slightly, with the corners of his mouth raised.
Kuzan was very happy to see his old friend.
After a few pleasantries, Sauro glanced at Xia Jieren and asked, "Who is this?"
As soon as he saw Xia Jieren, Sauro recognized him.
[Kingdom of the Netherlands] It is hard not to recognize the true ruler.
He was puzzled as to why Xia Jieren came to him with Kuzan and others. Could it be that the [Netherlands Kingdom] was going to take action against [Elbaf]?
Before Sauro could think about it, Robin introduced him with a smile: "Sauro, this is my husband!"
"Husband? You're married!" Sauro opened his mouth in surprise.
"Yeah!" Robin nodded gently, and said happily, "I got married a long time ago! I am living a very happy life now."
Sauro looked at Robin, then at Xia Jieren, smacked his lips and said, "I never thought Robin would get married. Time flies! Olivia will be very happy if she knows."
"Yeah!" Robin felt nostalgic when he heard his mother's name.
Xia Jieren stood up, greeted Sauro politely, and expressed his sincere gratitude to him.
Sauro touched his big head, his mouth corners almost reaching his ears.
Then, as if he had thought of something interesting, Sauro teased, "Kuzan, Robin is now your superior! Well done!"
Kuzan's mouth twitched and he turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to Sauro.
Robin gently covered her red lips to hide the smile on the corner of her mouth.
Kuzan was slightly embarrassed.
Seeing this, Sauro didn't want to continue teasing him, so he changed the subject and said, "Come on, follow me! I'll treat you well."
Xia Jieren and others did not refuse.
Not long after.
A large amount of food appeared in front of Xia Jieren, including fruits bigger than humans and meat as big as a small mountain.
After confirming that Xia Jieren and his party were not enemies, the giants warmly entertained them.
A simple little banquet was held in the huge square in the center of the village.
The giant children came up to Robin and asked him about what they had seen and heard in the open sea.
Robin narrated the stories one by one with a smile, causing the children to exclaim in surprise.
Kuzan and Sauro sat on the ground and clinked their glasses frequently.
Xia Jieren looked at the giants curiously.
Compared to the giants of Elgea, the giants of Elbaf live a more primitive life.
No wonder Sauro called them barbarians.
But now Sauro has become one of them.
After staying in Elbaf for one night, Xia Jieren and others prepared to go back the next day.
After politely declining Sauro's invitation to stay, Xia Jieren set out on his return journey with a large number of books.
These books were rescued from the ruins of O'Hara by Sauro and his men, and they are O'Hara's last legacy.
No wonder Xia Jieren sent people to O'Hara, but didn't find any books. He thought the navy and the World Government had gotten there first, but he didn't expect it to be intercepted by Sauro.
Robin was overjoyed and kept immersing himself in the pile of books, sorting them carefully.
"Oh! I was ignored!" Xia Jieren sighed lightly and did not bother him.
After placing Kuzan in the front-line base of the [Netherlands Kingdom], the [Skyship Bug] set off again.
[Four Emperors] Straw Hat Luffy VS [Four Emperors] Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach!
[Four Emperors] Red-Haired Shanks VS [Four Emperors] Buggy the Senryoku!
Both battles have now come to an end.
The result was almost exactly what Xia Jieren guessed, Luffy and Red Hair won.
[Dark Dark Fruit] has been obtained by Xia Jieren.
Although the [Cross Guild] was defeated, none of Buggy, Crocodile, and Mihawk died.
It seems that Shanks still showed mercy.
In the [New World], the [Straw Hat Pirates] and the [Red Hair Pirates] divide the world into two.
The final winner will be decided soon, and the pirates are extremely excited.
At this time, the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] took action.
The few pirates in the [North Sea] and [East Sea] were forced to the [New World] and the second half of the [Paradise] by various means.
In just a few days, at least 800,000 pirates poured into the Grand Line.
Except for a small number of self-aware pirates, most pirates rushed into the [New World].
[Fishman Island] and [Azur Lane] have been very busy during this period.
These guys are restless. As soon as they arrived in the [New World], they applied to join the [Straw Hat Pirates] and the [Red Hair Pirates].
