Chapter 41 Elbaf: The Tale of Giants, Precious Tree Adam, and Endless Conflict

[Stussy: What? Do you have any questions? I don't know why your Dragon Kingdom is number one again on the resource list, but if there is a list that discusses the overall combat power of a country, Elbaf is definitely number one]

Stussy is naturally jealous of this blond girl who is more beautiful than her.

She is both powerful and beautiful, and Stussy feels like she is being overshadowed by her.

[Morgans: Elbaf is recognized as the most powerful country in the world.]

[Loan Shark King: Dragon Kingdom was strong before, but it's still far behind Elbaf. I don't know about their grassroots combat strength, but their top-level fighters are comparable to Marine Admirals, and now there are two of them! There are no weaklings in the giant race. Even the weakest giants can fight 100 people at once.]

[Big Mom: There's no comparison between the two.]

She has always wanted to be as strong as the giants of Elbaf, but she has never been able to achieve it.

She is impressed by the strength of the Three Swordsmen of the Dragon Kingdom, but she does not feel the same desire to be as strong as them.

[Stussy: After hearing what the loan shark king said, you should now realize the difference in strength between countries. You shouldn't have any doubts, right?]

Stussy was hoping that the beautiful and dignified girl would get angry and argue with her.

She thought that this would show her ugliness and ignorance.

But instead, Artoria calmly and simply expressed her opinion.

[Artoria: I disagree. ]

She expressed her opinion very directly, without any sophistry or comparison.

This surprised everyone else, who were used to more indirect and nuanced communication.

[Stussy: This is a fact, you don't need to agree with it.]

[Artoria: I don't agree with this fact.]

[Boss Bai: Are Marine Admirals strong?]

[Loan Shark King: They are definitely stronger than Umit! And in the video of the battle between Kaido and Oden in Wanokuni, you can see that they are not weaker than them!]

[Boss Bai: Oh...]

[Artoria: Oh...]

[Ulquiorra:...]

The Thirteen Guards are very powerful.

Even Umit, one of the strongest captains, would have to retreat if Megumi used his super-explosive magic.

The battle between Oden and Kaido was very powerful, but many captains should be able to deal with it.

Marine Admirals are about as strong as captains.

It would be very difficult for vice-captains to face them.

[Stussy: You don't know a lot about Elbaf, as you come from a remote kingdom.]

[Capone Bege: Elbaf is a strategic resource that many forces in the world are after.]

[Law: It's a shame that Elbaf is such a powerful country, but it can't unite.]

.......

Video No. 2 is still going on.

Many of the Four Emperors were in Elbaf because it was a convenient and safe place to keep their estates.

During a war within Elbaf, big pirates, underground giants, and the World Government supported different giant tribes.

Only the giant royal family and another giant family with top powerhouses were able to remain independent.

They are the ones who guard the treasure tree and try to maintain Elbaf's prestige and civilization.

Some of the support attempts failed.

For example, when Big Mom Four Emperors was a child, she destroyed the village of one of the giant tribes and wounded giants

This is why the giants hate her

However, after many years of hard work by Big Mom, some connections have been established between the two.

The prince of the giant family even took a fancy to Lola.

But Lola escaped from marriage, which caused the relationship between the two to return to the frozen period.

.......

[Hawkins: The most powerful country in the world has been divided into so many tribes because of outsiders.]

[Law: It's because they are the most powerful country in the world that they have so many forces targeting them.]

[Kid: No matter how strong a country is, it can't stop so many forces from intervening.]

[Apoo: I always feel like what happened to Elbaf is happening in a certain country.]

Apoo words are clear to most people. The only country on the cusp right now is the Dragon Kingdom.

The Dragon Kingdom is very wealthy, but it doesn't have many powerful warriors.

If it is infiltrated by other forces, it could become the next Elbaf.

The Dragon Kingdom is not as strong as Elbaf, so its fate could be even worse.

Other forces are not moving now because they underestimated the Dragon Kingdom's strength.

But if they adjust their assessment of the Dragon Kingdom's strength and then intervene, the Dragon Kingdom will not be able to resist.

[Arturia: I will never let Dragon Kingdom become like Elbaf! ]

[Aunt: Mama-hahaha]

[ Kaido: Worororo! ]

One of the 5 Elders: Our World Government can give you shelter!

One of the 5 Elders spoke right on cue.

He really didn't expect to watch a video about Elbaf!

........

The video of Elbaf continued at a certain historical event.

A long time ago, a giant was hunted by terrifying beasts.

He stumbled and fell into an underground pit, where he accidentally found a white lead stone.

This lead stone was found throughout the underground pits, and it was discovered to be very valuable.

It could be used as fuel, to produce tableware, to be used as paint, to make cosmetics, to be ground into seasoning, and even to be used as a weapon

The news of this discovery spread, and soon, businessmen, the World Government, and other forces flocked to Elbaf to research and resell the resource.

As a result, Elbaf gained huge wealth.

Many people believe that their wealth may have exceeded Dragon Kingdom previous 350 billion Baileys.

Of course, with such huge interests at stake, conflict was inevitable in Elbaf.

This chaos has continued from generation to generation, and even the present day is still chaotic.

The only people who have benefited from this chaos are the ones who got rich in the first place, the people who started the war.

The World Government has not changed, but Elbaf has changed generations.

Other forces have also become involved, including the Four Emperors and the underground giants.

[Brogy: I haven't been back to Elbaf for a hundred years, and it's still the same!]

[Dorry: That's because we're all warriors at heart! White lead just made the fighting more frequent]

Law eyes widened when he saw the familiar scene.

His expression became distorted and crazy.
