"Well… "
Looking at the Neptune creature that was split into two halves and stopped moving after a few struggles, Haldin wiped the seawater from his face. After being silent for a moment, he looked at Ross floating in the sky and revealed A hint of gratitude.
"Thank you for your assistance."
The other giants also reacted one after another. Instead of climbing onto the boat, they all showed innocent and kind smiles, with unabashed gratitude in their eyes.
If it hadn't been for Ross, they would have lost at least the ship, or even been seriously injured, or died at sea. For the forthright character of the giants, Ross was their benefactor.
"You're welcome."
Ross smiled slightly, but an inexplicable look flashed deep in his eyes.
He knew Haildin, and the other giants must be the five-member group of the new giant pirate group formed by Haildin.
Compared with humans, the lifespan of the giants is much longer, reaching hundreds of years, and their personalities are frank and warlike. Almost everyone is a warrior.
soon.
Haildin and others climbed back on the ship, and Ross, Lafitte and others also came to Haildin's giant pirate ship.
"This is the shipman Statham, he is the idiot navigator Rod, that is our cook Goldbag, and the beautiful ship doctor Geertz."
After Haldin introduced his crew, he performed a giant etiquette towards Ross and said: "My name is Haldin, and I would like to express my gratitude to my benefactor again."
"Just call me Captain Rhodes. It's just a little effort. No need to thank me like this."
Ross smiled. Compared to the intrigues and scheming humans, he still prefers the forthright and brave character of the giants.
The only pity is that the giants are too big. In the eyes of the truly powerful, they are like moving targets... But if they can be changed slightly, it will be completely different!
Goldbag, the chef of the New Giant Soldier Pirates, quickly prepared barbecue and other delicacies, as well as wine brought from his hometown Elbaf to entertain Ross and others.
Although the cutlery is a bit big and the portion is a bit big, the taste is very good.
"Well, you are the pirates who have just entered the new world, the Ghost Hand Pirates... I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."
Rhodes seemed to be a little drunk. After drinking a few bowls of wine, he became a little drunk.
The beautiful ship doctor Geertz looked at Rhodes and couldn't help but said: "Idiot, the Ghost Hand Pirates are a pirate group that is already famous around the world. Didn't I just see that newspaper two days ago?"
Although they are giants, they can still read newspapers and other things with the help of a magnifying glass.
As she spoke, she looked at Rhodes with respect and said, "Captain Rhodes' bounty is already as high as one billion Baileys!"
The two captains they admired, Ao Oni and Red Oni, who were the giant pirates that roamed the world hundreds of years ago, only had a bounty of 100 million Baileys.
The formation of the new Giant Soldier Pirates is precisely to revive the glory of the Giant Soldier Pirates and let the name of the Giant Soldier Pirates spread throughout the world again.
"Pfft! A billion Baileys?!"
Rhodes sprayed a sip of wine on Goldbag's face, and he suddenly sobered up from his slight drunkenness. He was originally full of respect for Rhodes, who defeated the Neptune type with one move, but this time he became even more respectful.
The giants are a race that highly values strength.
When Rhodes, Lafitte and others were on Fish-Man Island, they already knew the news that the bounties on the four of them had skyrocketed, and there were no surprises.
It would be strange if he killed a Celestial Dragon and escaped from the hands of a navy admiral without getting a reward of one billion.
“Captain Rhodes, here’s to you!”
After Rhodes wiped the wine from the face of the angry Goldbag, he picked up the huge wine bowl, spoke solemnly to Rhodes, and drank it in one breath.
Ross did not refuse. He picked up the small wine bowl he brought from his ship and took a sip.
"anyway… "
Haldin picked up the wine bowl and looked at Ross.
His purpose is to revive the reputation of the Giant Soldier Pirates. Ross is not only the benefactor who saved them, but he is also a powerful pirate with a bounty of one billion. If he joins the Ghost Hand Pirates, he will definitely be there soon. There is hope that it can regain its reputation.
As a giant, even if Ross might refuse, he would not hide his thoughts, but just when he was about to speak out, Ross suddenly spoke.
"What are your plans next? If you want to revive the reputation of the Giant Pirates, how about joining us? I will build you into an invincible Giant Pirates."
Rhodes has already seen Haildin's thoughts. The giants are not good at hiding it. They almost always show it on their faces. However, treating the giants is different from treating humans. There is no need to maintain absolute prestige. Let the other party propose to join. He suggested that it would be better.
The giants advocate strength and kindness. Now that they have both kindness and strength, there is no need for too much trouble at all, not even Lafitte's hypnosis.
“…”
Haldin did not expect that Rhodes would take the initiative to send an invitation. This was completely different from his request to join, which completely showed that Rhodes valued them.
Almost without thinking, he immediately held the wine bowl and said:
"I am willing to join! Although there are only five of us now, we are all the bravest warriors in Elbaf, and sooner or later we will become world-famous!"
When Geertz, Rhodes and others saw this, they all looked solemn and raised their wine bowls. Naturally, their attitudes were completely consistent with Captain Hailding's. Rhodes' strength had completely conquered them.
Ross picked up the wine bowl and put it in front of him, smiled slightly, and said with deep eyes:
"Don't worry, that day will come soon, when you will become famous all over the world."
As he spoke, Ross drank the wine. The spicy wine flowed from his throat to his stomach, making his whole body seem to ignite a bit of blood.
Haildin and others also drank wine and officially joined the Ghost Hand Pirates.
"Since you have joined my command, then..."
Ross put down the wine bowl, reached into his pocket and touched it gently, and pulled out a delicate Devil Fruit with patterns on its surface that looked like countless grains of sand.
Natural system is the fruit of rustling!
"This is the Natural Devil Fruit, the Fruit of Shasha. I think you all know the power and value of the Natural Devil Fruit."
Ross held the twig of the Rustling Fruit and put it in front of his eyes, but his eyes bypassed it and looked at Haildin and the other five members of the Giant Soldier Pirates.
"Although there is only one Shasha Fruit now, sooner or later we will find other powerful Devil Fruits. Five Giant Devil Fruit users are enough to make this sea tremble."
