Beside him, Captain John, a pirate holding a golden wine cup with eyes flickering like a profiteer, slowly sipped his wine and said calculatingly:
"Elbaf... we still need to find the legendary 'Great Hammer Warband', right? I've heard those ancient legends, but..."
Shikaku, who was currently in charge of the Rocks Pirates' intelligence, interjected with a hint of helplessness in his voice:
"I've already used every available undercover agent and intelligence network to track down news of the 'Giant Legion', but I've come up with nothing. It's as if they've vanished into thin air."
"Gurararara!" The tall Newgate let out a hearty laugh, but his words struck right at the heart of the matter,
"Even if you find them, what can a bunch of corpses sealed in ice for who knows how many years do? Are you going to hold a resurrection festival for them?"
Officer Kiel Bastar also calmly added: "Indeed, according to existing intelligence, there is simply no method to resurrect them."
Rocks waved his hand impatiently: "Shut up! We're talking about dreams right now! Don't be a killjoy!"
At this moment, the Fishman pirate Babel, who had long catfish-like whiskers, threw another bucket of cold water: "Even in the unlikely event they truly are resurrected, what reason would they have to obey your orders?"
Rocks seemed to have anticipated this question and said in a deep voice: "That's why we need Harald! He is the current King of the Giant Race, possessing the legitimate bloodline and influence of the Giants!"
Kaido, an intern who had joined not long ago and still had tender twin horns on his head, suggested in a muffled voice with the recklessness of a newborn calf that does not fear the tiger:
"Why go through all that trouble! Why don't we just use force to make them submit? The same goes for that Harald!"
"You brat! Don't you dare say such things!" Rocks flew into a rage upon hearing this, violently kicking Kaido in the face and sending him flying, crashing into the rock wall with a dull thud.
"Calm down, Rocks! You stop too, Kaido!" Floating in mid-air, Shiki, who had long golden hair like a lion's mane, blew out a smoke ring and stopped the conflict that might have escalated,
"Do you two want to turn this hard-won base into ruins? This crew will eventually split and collapse due to their respective ambitions, but I believe now is not the time!"
"Ma-hahaha!" Captain John laughed, smoothing things over,
"Shiki is right! Let's wait until we use this power to make a fortune first! Do you understand, horned rookie kid?"
Rocks' anger hadn't faded yet as he pointed at Kaido, who had just scrambled up from the ground, and said fiercely:
"Listen to me, Kaido! Harald is a friend I've acknowledged! If you dare say such nonsense again, I'll tear you to pieces and feed you to the fish!"
He rose abruptly, his powerful aura enveloping the entire hall, his gaze sweeping over every officer like a hawk.
"Listen up, all of you! Elbaf is the key step we'll contribute to the 'Holy Land' to achieve our ultimate goal! Anyone who doesn't believe it can get lost right now!"
