We have never doubted that ultimate victory will belong to destruction, perhaps not now, but someday in the future...

We will eventually reap the rewards we deserve by destroying the faction.

but……

Who ultimately emerged victorious in this battle?

Is everything we've done truly meaningful?

What does the future hold for our destroyer faction?

Where did our queen go in the end?

My days are numbered. I have heard that the thirty kingdoms that have survived are planning to relocate to the top of the Red Earth Continent. We are willing to use our broken bodies to intercept them and cut off as much as possible the possibility of them making a comeback in the future.

Of all these questions, which one do I most want answered...?

Our God...

Is he okay?

]

As he looked at the lines of text before him, Kazan recalled the soldiers who had fought alongside him and felt the confusion and pain in the hearts of the Moon Clan who had recorded this ending eight hundred years ago.

There seemed to be moisture welling up in her eyes, but it didn't condense into tears in the end.

As Monet watched Kazan's retreating figure, he felt as if his beloved brother had suddenly aged. Filled with worry, he walked to Kazan's side, gently took Kazan's hand, and secretly looked up at him.

"Robin, why don't you tell everyone about it? I want to follow Dorry and Brogy to learn about the history of Elbaf."

Kazan composed himself, took a deep breath, and smiled at Robin.

"Nisan, I want to follow you."

Monet stretched out his arms and pulled Kazan's arms into his chest, pressing them tightly against him.

"it is good."

Kazan raised his hand and gently stroked Monet's hair twice, then nodded.

"Then come with us. The history of Elbaf is not very long, only eight hundred years."

"Speaking of which, after we returned to Elbaf and reread the history, we discovered that our ancestors may have known Kazan as early as eight hundred years ago."

Dorry and Brogy looked down at Kazan's red eyes, then nodded in affirmation.

"Really? Hahaha, maybe they're brothers and comrades-in-arms."

Kazan looked at the two giants' silly appearance and couldn't help but laugh out loud twice, which slightly relieved his depressed mood.

Kazan and Monet followed the two towering giants to a library-like building in the village, where the scrolls recording the history of the founding of Elbaf were kept.

Walking along this somewhat familiar road, Kazan suddenly remembered.

It turns out that this kingdom called Elbaf was an island that he conquered together with two former giant commanders of the Eighth Legion.

"The road can be traveled again, but people can never come back."

Kazan looked at the scenery around him and murmured something silently.

……

After Kazan, Monet, and the others left, Robin began to slowly recount the contents of the Poneglyph to the rest of the Monster Family.

After hearing this, everyone fell into the same silence as Kazan.

"This must be very painful for Nissan."

Reiju couldn't empathize with Kazan because she was too far removed from his perspective.

"..."

Ajin's face was ashen, his arms crossed over his chest, and his fists clenched tightly.

For them, Tiga's death alone had already brought them immense suffering.

As for Kazan, the pain he endured was unimaginable to them.

"When too many companions die, a person becomes numb to the point that they forget how to shed tears."

Moonlight Moria stroked the greatsword in his hand. Perhaps among these people, he was the only one who could truly understand Kazan. "Fortunately, Kazan didn't witness their deaths before his very eyes."

He had witnessed hundreds of his companions being slaughtered by the Beasts Pirates right before his eyes, right beside him.

"Guagua has a hard time being alone. These are the people who keep him company when we're not around."

Sugar leaned against a huge wall, raised one hand, and lowered his head to gaze quietly at the cocoons on it.

"We will always be there for him from now on."

Hancock's words made everyone else nod in agreement.

If Kazan were to lose these people, it's hard to imagine what he would become.

"You all have to fight to survive."

Feng Kelei quietly uttered a sentence.

……

"According to the decree of the first king of Elbaf, if you encounter a female mermaid with red hair and a red tail, or a man with red eyes and demonic hands, you must lead the entire giant race to help them accomplish what they are meant to do."

"Whatever this matter may be."

"Although there are no accurate historical records, there are folk tales that have been passed down for hundreds of years, saying that the father of the first king seemed to have stepped onto countless battlefields with such two people."

"Although I didn't meet that female mermaid, you are probably the only man in the whole world with the red eyes and the demon hand, Kazan."

Domley held a huge dossier in his hand and carefully read it to Kazan and Monet, then analyzed it himself, "Furthermore, to be able to fight alongside the ancestors of the giants, one must have been an exceptionally powerful man, and his descendants should not be weak either."

“Cabababa, that’s right, no matter how you look at it, you are that man’s descendant, Kazan.”

Brogy patted his stomach. He couldn't read, so Dorry had to explain it to Kazan and the others.

"The current king of Elbaf is getting old, and the affairs of state are basically handled by Prince Loki. Prince Loki himself intends to do as his grandfather said, but he is unable to get away, so he has handed the matter over to Cassie and Oimo, who happen to be coming to see you."

“That’s right. Prince Loki takes this matter very seriously. He has incorporated many of his elite giant warriors into the Giant Warrior Pirates and instructed Cassie and Oimo to become your subordinates.”

Dorry and Brogy took turns explaining the general situation.

“We won’t stay here for long; we’ll head to Raftru in three to five days at most.”

Kazan looked at Dorry and Brogy and said seriously, "What we are doing is something that has no turning back. If the giants get involved, Elbaf may suffer a devastating blow and disaster as a result."

"Gabababa, Elbaf is the world's number one superpower! Unless Kazan personally intervenes, no one in this world can destroy Elbaf."

"GiaGiaGia, whatever you want to do, go for it with confidence. Don't underestimate the two of us."

Brogy and Dorry patted their chests confidently and grinned at Kazan.

"Do you guys really understand what I'm trying to do?"

Kazan looked at the two big, dumb guys with a troubled expression and rubbed his head.

"What is it?" x2

"Destroy the World Government and the Celestial Dragons."

"Eh?!"

Seeing the two giants with their mouths agape in shock, snot dripping from their nostrils, Kazan shook his head helplessly.

The giants seem to have been rather unintelligent ever since he brought them into the Perus Empire thousands of years ago.

"Well... it's alright."

“That’s right. If anyone else were to do this, I might laugh at them for overestimating themselves. But if it’s Kazan who’s going to do this… well, this is more in line with your status as the ‘strongest in the world’ and the ‘Pirate King’.”

Dorry and Brogy paused for a moment, but quickly realized it wasn't a big deal.

After all, it's Kazan who's in charge of this.

"I haven't become the Pirate King yet."

Kazan smiled and shook his head.

"It won't be long, just a few days until you arrive in Laugh Tale."

"Now, who can stop your monster family from advancing across this vast ocean?"

Dorry and Brogy had no doubt that Kazan would become the Pirate King.

"That's right, that's right, Nii-san will definitely become the Pirate King."

Monet chimed in, nuzzling Kazan's arm with his cheek.

"I'll be bothering you here for the next few days."

"Kabababa, you're too kind, Kazan. Please stay here."

Brogy really wanted to pat Kazan's arm, but unfortunately the size difference was too great; his slap would have covered Kazan's entire body.

The monster family then stayed in the village for three days, and the hospitable giants made everyone in the monster family feel very friendly.

Meanwhile, in this village that produces many giant warriors, almost every giant possesses considerable physical skills, which has benefited family members like Bon Clay and Bellamy who rely on physical combat.

On the third day, Cassie and Oimo, who had rushed back upon hearing the news, met with the members of the monster family again.

The first thing the two did upon seeing Kazan was to thank him again for freeing them from Enies Lobby.

He then expressed his desire to become the eighth division under the Monster Pirates.

Kazan reiterated to the two what he had told Dorry and Brogy two days earlier, but the two giants were not even surprised; instead, they were excited.

They have always harbored resentment towards the World Government for deceiving them into guarding the gate.

The idea of ​​joining the monster family to destroy the World Government was exactly what they wanted.

Ultimately, as expected, Kashi and Oimo led their Giant Warrior Pirates to become the eighth division under the Monster Family.

The Giant Warrior Pirates' strength exceeded Kazan's expectations. In terms of overall strength, the Giant Warrior Pirates are undoubtedly the number one among the squads under the Monster Family.

Even the 'small fry' in the Giant Warrior Pirates are battle-hardened giant warriors, and earning tens of millions in bounties is a piece of cake for them.

According to Kazan's recollection, there should be two more pirate crews becoming squads under their monster family, returning to the legion configuration from eight hundred years ago.

Kazan probably already had a guess as to who the Ninth Division was; perhaps they were already on their way.
