**Chapter 401: Byrnndi World Becomes Stronger!**
The third day, around two o'clock in the afternoon.
King Harald received news that a Warship had arrived from the air at the Small Island prepared to be used as the Duel Arena.
This made him frown deeply, feeling wary.
"A Warship that can fly, this is definitely the Float-Float Fruit's Ability. It seems they really subdued the 'Golden Lion'. I never thought a man like Shiki would..."
Not only that.
He also realized that since the World Government now controlled Flying Warships, their Control over the Major Seas had increased several times over.
Just like this time.
Even coming from the G-1 Branch, a normal Warship would need at least one or two weeks, but now it only took less than three days?
"Let's go, let's see who has come!"
After speaking, King Harald, along with ten elders including Elder Yarul, walked out of the Castle.
It ultimately took nearly forty minutes by ship to arrive at the Uninhabited Island, located about three Nautical Miles away from Elbaf.
This was a Winter Island, with snowflakes drifting and Cold Wind howling, and the temperature was very low.
But for the thick-skinned and tough-fleshed Giant Tribe, this was the most comfortable Combat Environment. For them, it was like a gym with natural air conditioning.
At this time, this Mumei Winter Island was already being guarded in various places by many Giant Warriors.
The Giant King and the many Giant Elders stepped on the thick snow and walked all the way to the central Zone of the Island.
As expected.
Standing opposite them was a somewhat familiar 'dwarf', about four or five meters tall, wearing a Black Coat.
"I didn't expect it was him..."
The Giants who recognized the person had their expressions turn heavy. The oldest, Elder Yarul, revealed the opponent's Identity.
"The former 'World Destroyer', now the Army General 'Black Rhino', Byrnndi World!"
Byrnndi World's Face, with its full beard, carried a calm and unhurried, confident Smile that showed everything was under Control.
"Hehehe, I suppose This Old Man doesn't need to introduce himself, right? So, who is my Opponent?"
I have to say, ever since he became an Army General, the power and Status that came with being at the highest point of the Army made the Aura around him increasingly powerful and imposing.
Compared to before, the current him not only had stronger Haki, but also mastered the complete set of Six Powers Techniques.
The so-called complete set meant not just the basic Six Powers, but also the various Six Powers Extension Techniques and Secret Techniques created by successive generations of Martial Arts powerhouses over hundreds of years, as well as a large amount of Insights.
Of course, he couldn't learn all of them, but with these Reference Experiences, his understanding of the Six Powers naturally became deeper.
In addition to this.
He also successfully mastered 'Life Return'. Although it didn't help much with the improvement of his Combat Power, it could be considered as having made up for the basics in many aspects.
The current Byrnndi World, including his Paramecia System Momo-Momo Fruit Ability, is already a veritable Admiral Level Combat Power, and a relatively strong Admiral Level Combat Power at that!
It's just that in terms of Observation Haki, he seems to indeed not have much Talent. Up until now, he hasn't reached the standard for 'Future Sight'.
This made him feel very helpless.
"Ward, you actually dare to call yourself 'This Old Man' in front of us?" At this moment, a Giant Elder mocked displeasedly.
"So, you're this daddy's Opponent?"
Byrnndi World looked at the Opponent mockingly, and at the same time changed to an even more arrogant term. This provoked the Anger of all the Giant Tribe and a chorus of curses.
But the former just looked at them with a Face full of cold sneers.
"Silence!"
King Harald raised his hand to stop the elders' curses, then looked at Byrnndi World and asked, "This King would like to ask, who are the other two combatants?"
"What, you want to know if This Old Man is the weakest? And then pick your Opponents based on that? Hahahaha!"
Byrnndi World burst into wild laughter.
That laughter actually turned into a strong Wind, making the surrounding snowflakes swirl up. The Aura on his body also rose up with a Speed visible to the naked eye. Only after he finished laughing did he reply.
"Unfortunately, This Old Man also doesn't know who the other two are. I heard they are still on their way."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Quickly send the Opponent forward. This Old Man really hasn't fought against the Giant powerhouses of Elbaf before!"
The Giant Elders looked at each other, not expecting this kind of Situation.
They didn't think Byrnndi World would lie about this kind of Matter, because there was simply no need.
"His Majesty, I request to participate in Combat!"
At this moment, a relatively young voice sounded from behind King Harald. The latter didn't even need to look back to know who it was. After considering for a moment, he nodded his head.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Elder Surtr!"
A dark-skinned, bald Giant Elder, wearing a set of fiery red bull-head Armor and holding a Giant Sword in his hand, walked out.
"I shall surely bring Victory back to Elbaf!"
They saw him first kneel on one knee and make a vow to King Harald, then immediately stand up with a stern Face. Under the Gaze of many expectant people, he walked over with heavy steps.
Opposite.
Byrnndi World saw this and grinned, instantly disappearing from his original Position, then appearing a step ahead at the central Position.
Behind him, the Black Coat representing the Army General swayed and fluttered in the wind and snow.
"Surtr, I've heard of you. The 'Fire Giant' of Elbaf, right? I heard your Haki is crimson and violent like Flames. I Hope you won't disappoint This Old Man!"
"I am two hundred and eleven years old this year. What about you, Byrnndi World?"
Surtr looked down at the opponent and sneered coldly.
"Tsk—"
Byrnndi World clicked his tongue. Seeing the Opponent adopt a condescending Posture, relying on his Height, he felt increasingly displeased in his Heart. No longer talking nonsense, he directly activated the power of the Devil Fruit inside his body.
"Slow-Slow: Seventy Times!"
The next moment.
They saw this 'Twilight Rhino' Admiral's Body Size rapidly swell up like an inflated Balloon, and then stop at thirty meters.
This was very strange.
Logically speaking, if it was seventy times, it should be over three hundred meters.
It turned out.
After this period of Strength improvement, Byrnndi World's training of the Momo-Momo Fruit Ability had also become stronger. The Effect was that he could now freely Control the size of his Body Size, and it wouldn't affect the Speed of the multiplier increase.
An extremely large Body Size, although it looked terrifying, actually wasn't that useful.
In this World with Haki, Body Size isn't very useful in Combat between those with Highest Combat Power.
Not only did it increase his own strike area, but it also increased the consumption Speed of his Haki. After all, in Combat of this Rank, not using Armament Haki to protect one's body is definitely not okay.
On the other side.
Surtr also began to gather his Aura. A misty red Aura like Flames appeared on his body, and his Giant Sword was even coated with a layer of pitch-black color emitting a few wisps of red Aura.
Above, countless snowflakes and Cold Wind could no longer approach within a hundred-meter radius around the two people, as if an invisible layer of Qi Wall blocked them.
"Combat! Has begun!"
The thirty-meter-tall Byrnndi World shouted loudly. With a Loud Noise of 'Roar', he disappeared from his original Position.
He pushed through the vast Air Current and deafening Sonic Boom, rushing with a Speed difficult for the naked eye to capture to stand before Surtr, who was only about twenty meters tall.
Then, a straightforward straight punch exploded open the Air Current in front of him with a Roar, surging forward like boiling Hot Water, carrying unmatched Strength.
"Bring it on!!"
Elder Surtr, not showing weakness, gritted his teeth and swung his Blade in a vertical slash.
On the Giant Sword, a fiery red Sword Aura over ten meters long instantly bloomed, heavily colliding with Byrnndi World's Black Fist.
[CRASH—]
Fist and sword collided. Under the extreme Energy/Force Pressure, the Ice and Snow Ground under their feet became unusually soft.
In an instant, it turned into a vast Earth Flow like Rivers, pushing out horizontally in all directions.
That mountain-toppling, sea-overturning Strength turned into a Gale like a Tsunami, sweeping across the entire Island.
The violently trembling Ground even made the Giant Warriors standing guard in the distance unable to stand firm.
