#1073 - Your old friend is here to see you!

"Is that Lingling's boat? Is that Lingling's boat?"

At the Rainbow Bridge Pier of Elbaf, Golts of the New Giant Pirates shouted as he looked out. Although Elbaf has always said that it does not welcome the Big Mom Pirates and Charlotte Linlin for so many years, as the person who had the best relationship with Big Mom when they were children, Golts actually always remembered Big Mom and even thought about going to see her a few times. However, because of what happened back then, he never brought it up.

Now that Elder Yalulu had given in, Gertz came to the dock every day for the past few days to see if Big Mom's fleet had arrived.

"It should be soon. I remember that Cake Island is not far from here, about ten days' journey. I think we'll be there soon. What's wrong, Gertz? Do you still want to play the ghost hunting game with Lingling? Hahahaha!"

Hailding said with a big laugh.

"Stop it. According to human age, Lingling should be in her 60s or 70s now, right? We are no longer the little kids we were back then. We definitely can't play like that anymore."

Gertz said that because of her extraordinary talent and early development, the aunt's height was comparable to that of a giant in childhood. At that time, their favorite game was the ghost hunting game, and the aunt always lost in the rock-paper-scissors game, so she was always the one to catch people. Gertz, who was too big, had difficulty hiding every time and was often chased all over the field.

"Hahahaha! It's just a joke. But regardless of anything else, the weapons made by these people from the Beasts Pirates are really powerful. Look at my new gloves, they can maximize my strength and offset the reaction force. Now I can release my Hero's Spear more easily, hahahahaha!"

As Hailding was talking, he began to show off his new boxing gloves. These magical gloves met his requirements perfectly and were very easy to wear. They were simply amazing.

"Yes, yes, I know your boxing gloves are powerful. You keep repeating it every day, and my ears are about to get calluses from hearing it. Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well learn more about Haki. You still haven't sensed any of your Observation Haki, and Korra is almost pissed off."

Gertz said helplessly that since the day he got the weapon, Helding has been like this. Gertz understood the importance of a good weapon to a giant, but no one could stand Helding repeating it eight hundred times a day. If someone greeted him on the road, he would always reply: How did you know I got a new weapon? How good is this weapon, how great is it, blah blah.

“Hey, isn’t it enough that I know Armament Haki? Rather than dodging, I prefer a head-on attack, hahahaha—oh, wait, is that a cake floating over here?”

Hailding wanted to say something, but suddenly he saw a big cake floating over the sea. The cake could be seen from this position. How big could it be?

"Cake? Where's the cake? Wait! There are so many cakes! They look so delicious!"

Gerz looked in the direction that Helding was looking at, and saw cakes floating on the sea, drifting towards this direction.

"Ohh, ohh! Are you here, Lingling? What a big scene! I thought we were going to have a war. Ohh, ohh!"

Kaido fell from the sky with laughter. He was very familiar with the organization of the Big Mom Pirates and could see at a glance that, except for the leading ship, Anthem Mom Queen, the other ships were ordinary transport ships. Although the ships of the Big Mom Pirates looked like big wobbly cakes, the layers, area and color schemes of these cakes had different meanings. For example, the ones coming this time were obviously used to transport supplies.

"Is this Lingling's fleet? So many!?"

Guerz shouted in surprise, I'm afraid that the entire Elbaf can't gather so many ships? This is just one of the Four Emperors Pirate Group. Now Guerz finally knows the power of the Four Emperors Pirate Group.

"Noob, nothing, these are just some transport ships. It seems that Lingling really values ​​this meeting and brought a lot of things with her."

Kaido knew that Gertz had misunderstood and spoke immediately.

"Transport ships? You mean these ships are used to transport things?"

Kaido explained with a laugh.

"So there's such a saying. Wait, how are they supposed to get on board? A ship this big is huge even for Erubaf. This dock can't accommodate it!"

Hailding suddenly thought of something and spoke immediately.

"Well...wait a minute, I'll go talk to her. This guy is getting anxious again. Forget it, you guys should come down together and talk to her together. Let's go!"

Kaido said this and started to transform directly. Although it was not a fully released form, a giant dragon over a thousand meters long soared into the sky. The originally huge Helding and Gertz seemed extremely small at this moment. They were directly held in Kaido's dragon claws and flew towards the Big Mom Pirates' fleet.

"Wuhu! I'm flying! What an amazing ability! Mr. Kaido!"

Hailding was held in Kaido's hands, but he didn't feel afraid at all. Instead, this novel experience made him very excited.

"Woo-lo-lo-lo-lo! This is nothing. If you want to fly, my pirate group has an animal-type devil fruit that can fly. How about giving it to you when the time comes? It just so happens that one of my twelve hours is an undercover agent from the navy. Let's take this opportunity to send him away. Woo-lo-lo-lo-lo!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Kaido laughed when he heard what Hailding said.

"Forget it, I still hope to be in Erubaf. I can hire you, but I cannot invite you to join me."

Helding still insisted on this point. He could join a team in name but could not really join any team. He was very clear about this. After all, his identity was the son of the king. Although he was not a real prince, he could only be regarded as an illegitimate child. However, if he completely joined a team, it might give people an excuse. In the original world line, although he joined the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, it was an unusually loose and nominal organization. This kind of organization had no effect on his identity, and no one knew about it, so he didn't care. But it was different on Kaido's side. The two sides were allies. He could accept employment, even without commission, but he could not really join it, especially since Loki had caused such a thing.

“Oh la la la la la la, forget it, I was just saying it casually. After all, there is a kid who has already been scheduled for the real twelve hours. That kid is working really hard.”

Kaido was talking about Hawkins, nicknamed the Magician. This expressionless kid is indeed quite suitable for this position. Although Kaido wanted to add Zhizhi to the team at first, after all, Zhizhi's strength is indeed enough, but who can blame Zhizhi for not being able to communicate with people normally? He had to give up.

“We’re here! We’re here!”

While the two were talking, Kaido had already flown above the Big Mom Pirates. Fearing that he might fly too far, Gertz shouted immediately.

"Woo-la-la-la-la-la! I know, right Ling-ling! Stop hiding! Come out quickly! Your old friend is here to see you!"
