Chapter 120 Hero's Cloak (Bonus Chapter Complete!)
"Branches of the World Tree, I know the kingdom has some in stock, but how many do you need?"
[At Yaru's house in Nishimura]
"You ask me how much—"
Bazel scratched his head and grinned sheepishly.
"Let me ask Tom; he's a professional in shipbuilding."
Brubrubrukacha--
After listening to Bazel's question, Tom did some calculations and replied:
"...Keel? You mean the Beast Victory? If we're considering that giants will also be using it in the future, it would be best to build a large three-masted sailing ship."
"The length should ideally be around 150 to 200 meters, and the height of the tallest comb pole is estimated to exceed 300 meters."
"The keel should at least be the length of the hull—"
Upon hearing that it was data again, Barzel quickly interrupted.
"Come to Elder Yaru's house. You can discuss the specific amount with Elder Yaru."
"Okay, I'm coming right now."
The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) hangs up.
Yaruru gestured to Bazel not to rush:
"If it's only a few hundred meters, it's not a problem."
A mere few hundred meters?
Bazel clicked his tongue in amazement.
In the original story, Franky spent 2 million on just a few branches.
Several hundred meters.
Even if you cleaned up all the kidneys of the Beast Pirates, you probably couldn't afford it.
But for the giants who have lived on the World Tree for centuries, the fallen branches they have collected over hundreds or thousands of years would probably be thousands of meters long.
As for the exact amount of wood that could be used as ship keels, Bazel couldn't say for sure.
Thinking about it that way, a few hundred meters might not seem like much?
"The other day, Lord Bazel showed me the sincerity of the Beasts Pirates, so I will naturally reciprocate with my own sincerity."
Yaruru smiled and stroked his beard.
"I'll arrange the shipbuilding for you as well."
"It's in the southeastern part of the Yang Realm, in the territory of the artisan village of the Kingdom of Woland. The giants in that village are a group of skilled builders."
"Please rest assured, as the eldest of the giants, I still have some influence."
"Mwah mwah mwah~~!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
With another important matter settled, Bazel felt much more relaxed and immediately began chatting with Aruru about some interesting things from the past.
Half an hour later, Tom knocked on the door.
"Mr. Tom,"
Upon meeting, Aruru displayed the rich and bold side of the giant race.
"Just name as many branches as you want, and I'll move any tree branches from below a thousand meters down to give to you."
"Consider this a gift from our alliance between the giants and humans. Please don't stand on ceremony with me."
Adam Wood, a precious tree found at depths of over 1,000 meters!?
Tom swallowed hard, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.
The name used by outsiders seems to differ from that used by the giants; the giants prefer to call it the World Tree.
The outside world is the precious tree Adam.
But that didn't stop Tom from reaching out his trembling hand.
"Let's start with 500 meters, is that too much?"
After saying that, Tom looked at Aruru cautiously, afraid that the other party would blame the fishman for his greed.
"Is 500 meters enough?"
"Enough! Enough is enough!"
Seeing that Aruru didn't blame him, Tom felt relieved and immediately grinned and patted his belly.
"Hahaha~~"
"With such abundant materials, I'm sure I'll be able to build a ship that surpasses even the Roger Pirates!!"
"Oh, right, Bazel."
Tom stopped Bazel, who was about to leave.
"You told me before that you wanted to equip the ship with a special backup power system, right?"
"Backup energy?"
Yaru stopped stroking his beard and asked in surprise:
"Are you planning to build a special vessel similar to a fog ship?"
Then, Aruru explained to the two of them how the fog boat traveled and its advantages and disadvantages.
"Although those fog ships use the buoyancy of the island clouds as their energy source, they have decent speed, but their endurance is a problem."
"No, I intend to reserve that position for the new energy source manufactured by Asiye."
As he stood up to leave, Bazel grinned:
"I believe in Asiye; he will definitely be able to unravel the mysteries of the sunstone."
"Then create a super machine that converts sunlight into a power source."
"If it really works, please be sure to share it with us. Maybe we can use that technology to upgrade our fire department."
Aruru laughed heartily, his strange laughter, "Pop~ Zha Zha Zha~", echoing in the giant's room.
"After all, fire and lightning are the World Tree's enemies. If you can reach the fire faster, those giant firefighters will definitely thank you for your kindness!"
"It's a small matter. Shouldn't allies help each other?"
Bazel picked up the cloak he had just received from Gertz and put it on.
The cloak was black, with a raised collar that covered half of her face, and round shoulder pads and golden wheat ears on both sides of her shoulders.
The button on the right side is a striking white.
The hem trails down to the ankles, the sleeves are wide and long, and the cuffs at the end are a reddish-gold color, just like when Bazel transforms into Gear 3.
Tom's eyes lit up when he saw this:
"It's a very nice cape, but why does the style look so familiar?"
"I had Miss Gertz make it for me. The design is based on the Navy's Justice Cloak. It's really cool, isn't it?"
Bazel turned around, showing Tom his back.
The words "Hero" were prominently displayed on the cape and vest.
"The last time I fought Rayleigh, he said I might look good in this style of clothing."
"Hahaha~~~"
After seeing those two words clearly, Tom patted his belly and laughed.
"So you're a hero? I didn't know you were a fan of that North Sea comic, Bazel."
"I really like the anime where the hero Sora fights against the evil Germa organization; it's so exciting to watch!"
Bazel did not argue, and after saying goodbye to the two people in the room, he stepped out of the room.
The moment they stepped into the sunlight, Aruru and Tom instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes.
The two characters for "hero" drawn in gold thread seemed to come alive.
Dazzled by the golden light, Tom rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"That's strange, is it just my imagination? But boss Aruru, the cooking skills of you giant girls are really good."
Aruru suppressed the word "hero" that was etched into his mind.
"Of course! It's a pity you're not a giant, Tom, otherwise I could introduce you to a few enthusiastic giant girls!"
"Boo hoo hoo~~"
Not long after, outside West Village.
Bazel, standing on the boulder, was gazing idly at the distant scenery.
To be precise, it should be that idiot Hanafza is teaching those giant brats in the manner of pirates.
"He barely knows any characters, yet he became a teacher."
"That Hanafza guy really loves a good show."
"Hey, big brother~"
Suddenly, a figure leaped out from the forest to the side—it was Loki, the one with the cursed name.
"Are we about to leave?"
Just as Bazel was about to answer yes, his eyes were suddenly drawn to the familiar style of cloak that Loki was holding.
"Hey, Loki, you're not copying me, are you!?"
"I specifically asked Miss Gertz to sew this cape for me."
"Hahaha~ Imitation and what, that's a really harsh way of putting it, bro."
With a shake of his hands gripping the shoulders of the cloak, Loki immediately took off his black down cloak and put on the same Justice Cloak as Bazel.
The only difference is that the word behind it changed from "hero" to "king".
"King? Is that your dream?" Bazel asked curiously, without dwelling on it too much.
"That's right."
Loki gave a thumbs-up to his chest.
"Once I become stronger, I will return to this land and become the new King of Giants!"
"I will lead Elbaf to a brighter future in my own way!!"
"But before that, brother, I'd appreciate your guidance!"
"As for giving advice, we're all family, it would be too formal to say anything like that."
"We're leaving. We said goodbye to Ah Shi and set sail immediately."
Bazel jumped off the boulder and walked towards the port.
"Hey, Hanafza, don't corrupt those giant brats!"
"Be careful, Harald might come after you. The knowledge you taught them isn't anything good."
Hanavza looked over, wearing glasses and a doctoral cap.
Just then, I saw two black cloaks fluttering in the wind.
"Heroes, and—a king? What are those two lunatics trying to be cool for?"
Hanafza first made a few complaints, then his eyes darted around.
"Wait a minute, that cape looks pretty good, Costa!"
"Are you dead yet? If not, come over here! This captain has important business to attend to!"
"Boss?"
"Did you see those two capes?"
Hanafza pointed to Rocky and Bazell, who were walking away, and Costa nodded in agreement.
"Great, go to the west village and ask around, see which tailor made it, and have him make a set for me and Jin too."
"This is the uniform of a high-ranking official; you guys can forget about it."
Costa agreed at first, then reached out his hand.
Hanafza: ?
"I don't have any Pele, boss! Last time you went on a spending spree at the Fishman Island bar, we all pulled out our own savings to cover for you!"
He got angry at the mere mention of Belicata and jumped up to hang on Hanafza's collar.
"You've turned our Lizard Pirates' assets into a negative balance!"
"And now you're still making that face? You poor, vain, idiotic captain, get your ass to work and earn some money, you bastard!!"
