The warship slowly sailed out of the sea, with nearly twenty pirates including Alan, Hamlin, Fernando, Pekin, Lisa, Bafaro, Bepo and Ro, all on the ship.

The warship went to Elbav’s Warrior Village. After arriving, Allen asked someone to offer all the money.

A total of 1.5 billion.

Among them, one billion Baileys are used to pay for the employment costs of the Giant Pirates, and the remaining five hundred million Baileys are purchased for the battleships they once gave to the Giant Pirates.

After coming here, Allen discovered that the Giant Pirates no longer used the warships he gave.

This warship is only 120 meters long and is an absolute behemoth, but for giants, the capacity is extremely limited.

There is only one bedroom for giants to live in, a dining room, and a conference room. After renovation, it can accommodate up to four giants.

Moreover, other cabins are for ordinary people, and it is difficult for giants to use, and the cannons are also very small. Giants cannot even enter ten cannons, which greatly reduces their effectiveness.

At that time, I was afraid of arousing suspicion, so I could only make this look. For the current giant pirate group, it was too small and inconvenient to move, so it has rarely been used in the past year.

So Allen proposed to buy this warship and was willing to provide 500 million Baileys.

However, Dongli and Brokey did not agree, but chose to give it directly.

The warship that was given by the other party and could not be used now was a waste of time even keeping it, but fortunately it was given to Allen directly.

This battleship can be controlled by ordinary people and has enough artillery, which is very beneficial to Allen, who is now missing battleships.

After obtaining this warship, Allen's troops were divided into two groups, allowing some people to control the huge warship, and went to Kaido's chassis, Iron Fortress, with him.

...

“More than a year left.”

The tall figure sat there, showing a happy smile, "In another year, I will get my own weapon. The weapons created by Master Holbrook must be very outstanding."

"Norwood, it's time to eat."

A female dwarf came over not far away, carrying a dining plate with some food on it.

"Thanks."

Norwood looked at the food placed in front of him and couldn't help but say, "The food is getting more and more simple."

"There's no way, who told you to eat so much?"

The female dwarf said angrily: "Build weapons for you to serve as escorts. As a result, the food you eat in four years is more valuable than the weapons you create."

"But I protected the Master."

Norwood said: "With me, no pirate dares to approach. Master Holbrook has not been attacked in the past few years."

"That's because this is Kaido's territory. Who dares to come here?"

The female dwarf said, but suddenly stopped, grew up, and said, "I forgot that there is indeed someone who dares to come here."

"Um?"

Norwood noticed the look of the dwarf, turned around and immediately saw a figure standing there.

"Griffin Allen?"

Norwood looked a little happy when he saw the other party, "Why are you here?"

"Be careful."

The dwarf shouted: "He is not a member of Don Quixote now, Norwood, don't forget your duties."

"right."

Norwood reacted, took a step back, reached out and grabbed an iron rod, stared at Allen cautiously, and said, "I won't let you hurt Master Holbrook."

"Don't worry, I'm not here to find him."

Allen looked at Norwood and said with a smile: "I'm here to find you."

"Look for me?" Norwood asked in confusion: "What are you looking for me?"

Allen smiled and said, "I need manpower, Norwood, come and join the Griffon Pirates."

"Do you want to invite me?" Norwood was very happy. "Hahaha, it's my honor to Allen personally invite me."

"Hey, that's a big fool."

The female dwarf shouted loudly: "Don't forget, you have to work for us for another year."

"right."

Norwood said apologetically: "Sorry, I will have one more year before I can get the weapon."

"Weapon? I've brought you a good thing."

Allen took out a devil fruit from behind and handed it to Norwood and said, "Eat it, and from now on, you will never need weapons."

"Devil Fruit?"

Norwood was a little surprised and took the devil fruit and said, "I have never seen a giant who has eaten the devil fruit."

"But after eating the giant's devil fruit, it became even stronger."

"And this fruit is very suitable for giants," Allen said.

"What fruit?" Norwood asked curiously.

"Shield Fruit."

Allen said: "Eat this fruit and every part of your body can turn into a shield, extremely strong."

This fruit, Allen intends to recruit Norwood as a condition.

Fernando took the melted fruit. This fruit is not as useful as Xavier yet. Leon is very suitable for this fruit, but he just came to the Griffon Pirates and was not easy to give it to him for the time being.

No one was suitable for this fruit except them, so Allen was a little worried until Ellen visited the Giant Pirates and found that the Giant was the best to eat this fruit.

I have never seen a giant who has mastered the domineering nature of the armed colors, so eating the shield fruit will increase my defense.

Especially the development of shield fruits is unlimited, just like the wax liquid of melted fruits can become harder than iron, and it is difficult to break even the four levels of biscuit fruits, so shield fruits can be developed to an extremely high level.

Therefore, Allen used this fruit as the trump card for hiring the Giant Pirates, but after paying one billion Baileys, plus Lola's matter, the Giant Pirates agreed.

After saving this fruit, Allen thought of a person, the giants Norwood, whom he met four years ago.

"Shield?"

Norwood shook his head and said, "I need a weapon, and the shield can't be a weapon."

"Fool."

The female dwarf looked angry and kicked Norwood, saying, "Isn't your fist turned into a shield and used to attack others, isn't it more convenient than a weapon? If your body turns into a shield, isn't the enemy's attack useless?"

"Yeah?"

Norwood looked at the fruit in his hand and his face became happy, "Wouldn't this be very suitable for you?"

“Very good for you.”

The female dwarf said, "You silly guy is really taking advantage."

"Moaila."

Norwood looked at the dwarf and couldn't help but say, "You don't want to give me weapons, so you said that?"

"idiot."

Moaila took out a mace from behind, jumped up, and hit Norwood's knee, "What's the use of not leaving you? How many people can use a weapon like yours."

"Too."

Norwood hesitated for a moment, looked at Allen, and asked, "I want to be your subordinate, can you eat meat every meal?"

"no problem."

Allen said: "I will also build a large room for you, and your exclusive battleship to equip you with subordinates."

"Yeah?"

Norwood was silent instead, and after a while, he asked, "Moaila, should I agree?"

"If I were you, I would agree to you." Moaila said softly.

"Then I agree."

Norwood put the devil fruit into his mouth, bit it and chew it, and waited for a while.

Crazy.

Norwood's body began to change, and the surface of the body turned into shields, knuckles, fingertips, arms, calf, chest, back, thighs, forehead, nose, lips, ears, and even the back of the head and neck all turned into shields.

The body as high as fourteen meters is like steel, standing there gives people an unshakable feeling.

"marvelous."

Alan looked at him, showing an admiration.

Norwood, who has the Shield Fruit, is hard to hurt an enemy who cannot cut iron. Even if he can cut iron and his huge size can only break the surface.

Moreover, the hardness of the shield can be improved. Combined with the power of the giant, his strength will be extremely powerful.
