Chapter 258 My elder brother once said that people's dreams have no end!
After leaving behind a string of gloating laughter, Shiki climbed out the window and left.
He didn't say goodbye to Bazel before leaving, nor did he mention what he planned to do.
But Bazell knew.
This guy is definitely trying to take advantage of the situation.
Taking advantage of the time when the water gods descended, they stole the branches of Adam's precious tree.
But----
Bazel sat by the window, watching the hurried crowd below.
Why would Adam's branch from the Treasure Tree appear here at this particular time?
Could it be another change caused by myself?
Just as Bazel was pondering this, the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) in the inner pocket rang.
Snap—
"Bazaar!!"
The Den Den Mushi, its expression turning anxious, mimicked Lipri's voice.
"Something's happened! A group of human slaves has escaped into Elbaf! They've kidnapped some giant brats and taken a branch of the World Tree!!"
The giant imp has been kidnapped?
Bazel frowned slightly: "Isn't Harald supposed to be in Elbaf? Was his king raised on shit?"
"How could a king allow his people to be kidnapped by humans?"
"Harald isn't in Elbaf; he's gone to interact with other human kingdoms!"
The Den Den Mushi's already anxious expression now turned somewhat panicked.
"Bazaar, I know this is difficult for you, but please, please save them. Those kids are innocent."
"They were kidnapped without knowing anything. King Harald is on his way back after learning about this. He asked me to contact you first to see if we can find any trace of those brats."
"I roughly knew where they were, but I didn't expect to run into this."
Bazel sighed and looked toward the end of the street.
A Celestial Dragon wearing a resin bubble head sat on the captain's slave, followed by a string of slaves bound by collars and chains.
The three at the very back were none other than the tall and muscular giant brat.
"This is troublesome. Those kids have been captured by the Celestial Dragons."
The Den Den Mushi froze: "A Celestial Dragon!? How can this be—wait, Bazel, how did you know?"
"I met Shiki in Water Seven. He told me that a branch of the Treasure Tree Adam suddenly appeared on the island some time ago. I was wondering how a branch of the World Tree could appear in Paradise."
Bazel lowered his voice: "So that material was just a decoration; the giant slaves are the real rare commodity."
"I'll handle this. Lipriy, contact your fellow giants and tell them to calm down and not let this reignite the Age of War."
"I'll just send the giant brat back then."
After leaving those words, Bazel hung up the Den Den Mushi and moved Hikari back inside from outside the window.
He looked at the World Government agents who had gone up to the second floor.
"If you don't want to die, disappear within three seconds. My patience with you hounds only lasts this long."
"The Great Pirate Bazel,"
The person in the lead was wearing a distinctive patterned suit.
"I belong to the World Government CIPHERPOL—No. 9, and now—"
"Didn't you hear me tell you to get out?"
Bazel held up three fingers.
"Listen up, I'm going to start counting down now. If you're still here when I count to 1, you're leaving your lives behind."
"You—" The man in the floral suit had just taken out a document.
The countdown from Bazel began simultaneously.
"1~!"
Swish-!
A black cloak was thrown onto the chair, and a white-haired man was suddenly added to the team of agents.
Fireflow Martial Body activated instantly.
The moment the scalding heat appeared, the agents' expressions changed drastically.
"Wait a minute, didn't you say we were counting down from three?! And I'm not an enemy, I'm here to—"
"Fingergun - Fireball".
Unwilling to listen to the agent's sophistry, Bazel's body was covered in flame-like markings.
As the markings disappeared, the agents didn't even have time to react before burn holes appeared on the back of their heads or between their eyebrows.
"A man only needs to remember one thing to survive."
Bazel lowered his blood-stained right hand and looked at the only surviving agent.
"Wait a minute, I'm here on behalf of the World Government to invite you to join!!"
The man in the floral suit ignored the wound on his shoulder and hurriedly took out a letter.
World Government?
Barzel took it curiously.
Invitation to the Seven Warlords of the Sea
After reading the contents, flames ignited on his fingers.
The flames quickly engulfed the paper.
It's less of an invitation to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and more of a recruitment drive.
The letter essentially stated that the Seven Warlords of the Sea plan was about to be rolled out, and invited him to become the first Warlord of the Sea to "eat crabs" (a metaphor for being the first to try something new).
Bazel chuckled and looked at the last person who was dragging his left arm and trying to climb out the window to leave.
"Who are you looking down on? I thought you were planning to invite me to join the Knights of God."
"Flying Finger Gun".
puff-!
The agent in the floral suit screamed as he fell towards the outside, causing a burst of gasps and screams.
Sensing that the enemy's presence had completely vanished, Bazel went downstairs and tossed the wallets he had looted from the agents into the bar.
"This is for the drinks; anything extra can be considered cleaning expenses."
"Don't go around saying that I, Bazel, don't pay for my drinks. Even in the world of One Piece, you still have to pay with Beli."
Leaving the tavern, Bazel glanced at the CP9 agent who died with his eyes wide open, then took out a Den Den Mushi and walked into the fleeing crowd.

Snap—
"Harald, it's me."
"—I've received Lipriy's report. Thank you for your help."
Despite the Den Den Mushi's earnest thanks, Bazel remained unmoved: "Even if that giant brat has been captured, do you still trust the World Government?"
The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) remained silent.
Bazel shook his head: "Your weakness terrifies me, Harald."
"I'm increasingly convinced that Loki is more suited to be the king of the giants than you. He's already changing; he's learning to think and he's also learning how to control his desire for war."
"And you, Harald."
"It seems that all you've learned, besides compromise, is to swallow your anger."
"Not long ago, we found Ida's hometown."
The Den Den Mushi's eyes widened: "Wait! You guys went to the South China Sea?!"
Bazel did not answer Harald's question and continued, "All the male Titans in that place have been captured by the World Government, either to be enslaved or to be used as subjects for human enlargement experiments."
"Loki and I rescued the remaining old, weak, sick, and disabled, but—"
"The Samvana giants are a thing of the past; their race is no longer worthy of the name Samvana."
Bazell, walking slowly through the crowd, seemed like an oddity.
The surrounding screams and urging seemed irrelevant to him; at that moment, the world seemed to be divided into two colors.
A gray-clad escape team.
And, the colorful Bazel.
"Harald, if your attitude remains so intriguing, then I will seriously consider whether the alliance between Beasts and Elbaf still needs to continue."
"I can't imagine what the future would be like to cooperate with a king who doesn't even dare to warn the world when his own people are kidnapped."
"If the World Government were our future enemy, would you still pretend to be deaf and dumb like you are today?"
Seeing the Den Den Mushi fall silent again, Bazel didn't say anything more.
"This time, Lipriy begged me to help, and although I won't stand idly by as an ally, there won't be a next time."
"As their king, if even you regard their lives as cheap as grass, then I, as an outsider, will naturally not meddle in their affairs."
After saying this, Bazel did not wait for Harald's reply and hung up the Den Den Mushi directly.
He then dialed the Den Den Mushi on Loki's body.
Snap—
"Loki, do something."
"I know you're a Celestial Dragon, right? I saw the giant slaves they captured."
Bazel nodded in agreement: "Don't rush to make a move. Wait until I stop this tsunami before you act."
"Stop the tsunami!?"
The Den Den Mushi was taken aback at first, then its eyes widened: "Hey, bro, you're kidding me!!"
"Even your power can't stop the raging sea, can it!?"
""
"It's difficult, but it's all possible with human effort."
Standing at the foot of the tallest building, Bazel glanced at the crowd fighting in the shelter above.
As if he had confirmed something, the man suddenly turned around and walked against the flow of people.
"No matter what, this is Tom's home."
"I cannot allow my friend's home to be destroyed in the wrath of the water gods."
"I did my best, and I won't feel guilty even if I face Tom afterwards. At least I did my best for my friend's hometown."
That's enough.
Den Den Mushi's expression returned to normal, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth: "As expected, this is more like you, Big Brother. The loyalty between men is never just empty words."
"I'll be ready to welcome your victory!"
Snap—
The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) hangs up.
Slowly exhale.
"Fighting the sea? What a crazy idea!"
Bazel looked up at the golden eyes in the sky.
"Well, you have to give it a try. Isn't life all about daring to try new things?"
Several snake spirits detached from the golden eyes and flew straight into Bazel's body.
Perhaps because it was only supported by one snake spirit, the light in the golden eyes dimmed.
"The Time of Twilight —"
Bazel's figure vanished like a bubble.
"dusk."
The gloomy sky was suddenly tinged with a reddish-yellow hue.
The setting sun and the flock of crows that flew in attracted the attention of the fighters.
Soon after, eight enormous elemental demons appeared in different locations on the outskirts of Water City.
The next moment, a tsunami struck!
The towering waves unleashed a world-ending gloom!
In the towering waves, hundreds of meters high, many fish and sea snakes writhe in agony, yet they are unable to escape the clutches of fate.
"The world is turned upside down, Orochi has descended!"
The elemental demon's angry roar carried far and wide.
Only then did the refugees standing at the highest point realize, to their astonishment, the existence of the Yamata no Orochi.
Gazing at the monsters battling the waves of leaf-spraying elementals and the sea.
The refugees uttered cries of surprise that were difficult to decipher.
"Stop doing pointless things, you idiot!!"
"What if we anger the ocean? Which idiot is causing this trouble?!"
"This form—it's the power of the great pirate Bazel!! Only he can control so many elements in battle!"
"Get out of Bazel, Water Seven doesn't need you!!"

Inside Water Seven, Loki also heard these shouts, but he neither refuted them nor showed any anger.
His expression remained calm.
Amato, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Loki, aren't you angry? Bazel was clearly saving them, wasn't he?"
"But they are cursing Bazel for angering the sea."
"Amato, my brother is a hero."
Loki plopped down on the roof, his voice completely flat.
"What the eldest brother wants to do is his own decision, not something he should do for those ungrateful bastards."
"Only those who are misunderstood can be called heroes, fighting against the sea, ha!"
"This is something I don't even dare to think about, because I don't know how I can overcome nature."
"But my eldest brother is different."
He believes that while human power has its limits, imagination and dreams do not!
"My older brother told me that although he is not a member of the D clan, he doesn't believe that the D refers to a smiling face."
"It's a dream!"
Loki's smile stunned Amato, who had been watching him.
My older brother said, "People's dreams have no end!!"
"It is precisely because Dream is infinite that people can laugh freely!"
"I only just suddenly realized that too—"
"What my brother wants to do is not to give freedom back to the world!"
"It's about giving dreams back to the world!!!"
He wants everyone on this vast ocean to have their own dreams!
"Everyone can strive and fight for their dreams!"
"This is what heroes should do!"
