"Are all the Giant Warrior Pirates so belligerent?", Rosse chuckled softly. Facing the incoming howling giant axe, he actually showed no intention of dodging. The Trident of the Sea God in his hand simply went up to meet it.
A mere Giant Race, not qualified to make him retreat.
In the world of pirates, size does not equal strength.
BOOM!
The giant axe and the Trident of the Sea God collided, and the sweeping shockwave was like a hurricane passing through. The land within a one-kilometer radius looked like it had been plowed. Trees were bent, and birds and beasts fell unconscious to the ground.
"Nice strength!", Brogy shouted in praise, the huge eyes flashing with excitement.
Just one exchange was enough for him to know that Rosse was a powerful opponent.
'To fight such a strong person, this is the true destiny of a warrior.'
"You're not bad either," Rosse chuckled lightly, now roughly aware of his own physique.
The Giants were clumsy in figure but best at strength. They were undoubtedly the pinnacle of power in the pirate world. Even Admirals, facing them head-on, would have to play to their own strengths and avoid direct confrontation.
With his current physique like a monster, Rosse was already about on par with Brogy.
BUZZ!
Rosse swung the Trident of the Sea God again and charged toward Brogy.
He had no intention of using his Devil Fruit ability, he just wanted a pure clash of strength against Brogy.
This time, the Trident of the Sea God was coated in Armament Haki.
"Good one!", Brogy shouted, raising his shield to block the path of the Trident of the Sea God's strike. A thick layer of Armament Haki also coated the shield.
At the same time, his axe swung toward Rosse.
BANG!
The Trident of the Sea God collided with the shield, letting out a thunderous boom. Brogy didn't move an inch, and the axe continued its downward swing.
Right now, Brogy was still at his peak. Not the exhausted state he would be in after twenty years of fighting Dorry to a standstill.
BANG!
Rosse's expression was emotionless. He withdrew the trident and turned around, knocking aside the incoming giant axe again and resumed the entanglement with Brogy.
He rarely had this kind of direct clash with an enemy. This time, not only could he enjoy it, but it might even bring some improvement to his strength.
Though the system gave rewards, Rosse had never given up on training and fighting.
What the system gave was always external power. If the mindset wasn't right, one couldn't bring out full strength in battle.
Rosse liked to enjoy himself and wanted to enjoy things, but he still needed enough strength as a foundation.
To defeat ten with one force, maybe there would be a chance in the future, but at least he hadn't reached it yet.
As Rosse and Brogy engaged in a large-scale, open battle, the surrounding terrain constantly clashed and shifted. The once silent volcano even showed signs of erupting.
To avoid disturbing the battle between the two, Dorry and Gion consciously moved to the other side of the island.
"Your companion is very strong," Dorry said in a low voice. He had partnered with Brogy for hundreds of years and knew this old companion's strength extremely well.
Humans who could match Brogy in brute strength to this degree were extremely rare.
Someone as young as Rosse, they had never seen one before.
"He's not my companion, but my husband, Mr. Dorry," Gion stood gracefully, the golden Konpira sword in hand forming a sword flower. She elegantly bowed to Dorry.
After the salute, sharp sword intent burst from Gion's body.
This was the aura unique to a great swordmaster. Pouring emotion into the sword, one could awaken Conqueror's Haki through this alternative path.
Gion chose this path, though she was still only on the way.
Thanks to Rosse's help, she had continuously fought against all sorts of strong opponents, nourishing her sword over time.
This time, facing a strong warrior of the Giant Race, she would take another step forward.
"Hahaha, I see. No matter why you came, FIGHT! Death is the best destination for a warrior," Dorry felt the sharp aura emanating from Gion, and a trace of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.
Giant warriors never feared challenges, especially him.
To fight such a powerful swordmaster was a desire from the bottom of his heart.
CLANG!
Dorry's giant sword collided with the slender Konpira. Sharp sword aura slashed everything around. Surprisingly, they were evenly matched.
Fierce battles erupted in two places within the small island. Strong auras and techniques flew wildly, causing the birds and beasts everywhere to scatter in chaos.
"This battle is really insane. Admiral Zephyr, are all strong people on the sea this strong?", Sora held a syringe, concentrating as she extracted samples from a giant beast over ten meters long.
Though she was fully focused on her work, the constant tremors from the ground were like alarm bells, constantly reminding her that not far away, two intense and breathtaking battles were taking place.
"Lady Sora, just call me Zephyr. I'm no longer an Admiral. There are indeed many strong people on the sea, but ones this strong are uncommon," Zephyr hadn't spent much time with Sora, only maintaining the necessary interaction. His Observation Haki had been watching the battles, with a trace of heaviness in his eyes.
With the strength of Dorry and Brogy, the two together could already pose a real threat to him.
Though he would certainly be the final victor, he wouldn't have an easy time.
Among the Admirals, his strength was not particularly outstanding. He barely reached Admiral level at age 38, which already said a lot.
Now Rosse wasn't even 20, and his strength had already nearly surpassed his.
"So that's how it is? I heard that once strength reaches a certain level, the difference can become astronomical. Is that really the case?", Sora asked curiously.
She hadn't encountered many strong people from the sea before. The first one she met was Rosse, so she had no clear understanding of the various strong figures on the sea.
"That's not necessarily true. There are many monsters on the sea, you don't have to reach that stage to have strength to compete. But for the mediocre, yes, one strike would take them down," Zephyr shook his head, thinking of himself.
He was the hardworking kind of genius. Only through efforts far beyond ordinary people's did he barely reach Admiral level.
In comparison, Garp and Sengoku put in less effort in training, but were far stronger than him. That's the gap of talent.
Talent is also the most unreasonable thing.
"Can you tell me about the classification of the strong?", Sora asked with great interest. After learning scientific thinking from Rosse, she now loved quantifying everything.
As she spoke, Sora sealed the sample collected from the giant beast beneath her, then smoothly switched to another flying bird.
This bird looked like a pterosaur. It had just fled to their side and was a poor creature that got swatted down by Zephyr.
Multitasking, she had already recorded the data on this unlucky bird.
"Actually, the classification of strong people's strength used to be quite vague, mostly based on Marine military ranks. But Saint Rosse proposed a new power level system, which I quite agree with. I can tell you about it."
Zephyr agreed. Anyway, it was Rosse's stuff, even if he didn't say it, Rosse would.
Even he knew that it was never a bad thing to establish good relations with the research personnel in the team.
