Sengoku did not have the ability to remove the powers of the Saxon Kingdom's nobles.
Powerful Armament Haki could only dispel abilities cast upon oneself, but not those cast upon others.
Similarly, Sengoku did not send anyone to douse these nobles with seawater.
It wasn't that he couldn't think of it, but that he didn't want to do it.
On one hand,
like Hitler before him, he had witnessed the suffering of the common people in this country upon arriving on the island.
Although he was a loyal dog of the World Government, a trace of conscience still existed within him.
On the other hand,
the King and the nobles, afflicted by the ability, still maintained their lucidity.
If he were to use seawater to break their current state, would they be grateful to him, or would they resent him?
Sengoku was not like Garp, who had no ambition for his position whatsoever.
He wanted to become an Admiral, and even a Fleet Admiral, and then achieve his ambitions through that.
To achieve this goal, he could not offend the nobles of various countries, at least not the royal families of various countries.
Thus, under Sengoku's indifference, the King and the nobles of the Saxon Kingdom, in their blissful satiety, reached their physiological limit.
At this moment, the ability Hitler had cast upon them dissipated, and the true sensation of hunger returned, transforming the happy smiles that had always been on the nobles' faces into ugly and ferocious wails.
"So hungry... hungry..."
They desperately wanted food, but their bodies, having reached their limit, prevented them from even crawling.
Finally, all of them experienced the feelings of the starving common people and, at the same time, starved to death on their way to the granary or kitchen.
Days later, fresh newspapers were released.
The Saxon Kingdom completely collapsed due to an attack by the Rocks Pirates.
Hitler 's bounty also soared directly to 770 million Berries as a result... Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
The time arrived 40 years before Luffy set sail, which was the year 1480 of the Sea Calendar.
A major piece of news occurred this year.
Harald, the King of the Giant Race country Elbaf, who had consistently declared his intention to join the World Government, suddenly dropped his pretense and inexplicably sank an "innocent" warship.
Newspapers heavily publicized this event, insisting that Harald's alliance with the World Government was a sham.
After reading the newspaper, Rocks waved his hand.
"Guys! To Elbaf!!"
...The journey to Elbaf is omitted...
Elbaf.
The lowest level of the Treasure Tree Adam.
The Underworld, Ida's Tavern.
Rocks' Pirate Crew ship docked on the shore next to the tavern, and Harald, the King of the Giant Race country, who had received news in advance, personally came to greet him.
This was a man at least 40 meters tall, with a burly physique and strong muscles.
He wore a fish-scale armor vest on his upper body, a black cape on his shoulders, and a pair of large, black curved horns on his forehead.
Hitler had seen Harald's photo in the newspaper before; he was originally a man with thick black hair, but for some reason, he was now completely bald.
Rocks, however, was not surprised. Upon seeing Harald, he immediately greeted him: "Long time no see, Harald! Let's go! Let's go to the castle for a drink!"
However, Harald did not give Rocks a good look.
"Don't be foolish, I will never let a person as unprincipled as you enter the country!"
After an exchange of pleasantries that wasn't particularly harmonious, Harald welcomed the entire Rocks Pirates into the tavern run by his concubine.
Harald's concubine was named Ida, an ordinary-looking Giant Race woman.
She and Rocks were old acquaintances who had met many times. Seeing Harald bring Rocks and his group in, He quickly prepared food and drinks for them.
Hitler , Whitebeard, and the others sat down at a table in the tavern, enjoying Elbaf's unique giant fruits, delicious food, and fine wine.
Rocks, meanwhile, sat directly at the bar counter, drinking with Harald.
The two first chatted about the truth behind Harald's attack on the World Government's ship.
It was a Marine warship that the World Government had attacked a non-affiliated country. Because this non-affiliated country had once helped Elbaf, Harald went to stop it.
As a result, this warship openly threatened Harald with Elbaf joining the World Government and publicly declared that people from non-affiliated countries were not human.
Thus, an enraged Harald directly sank the warship.
Finally, the World Government placed all the blame on Harald in the newspapers.
"Wahahaha! I knew the World Government was like this!"
Rocks burst into laughter, but after he finished laughing, his expression became serious.
"Let the whole country join us, Harald! I can't stand you kowtowing to the World Government anymore!"
However, Harald rejected Rocks with a firm attitude.
"One day, I will make Elbaf join the World Government!!"
Because only he knew the proverb, "Your body, hair, and skin are received from your parents; you dare not damage them."
Similarly, only he could understand how heavy the sincerity represented by Harald shaving off all his hair was.
After laughing at Harald, Rocks once again became serious.
"Why don't you just be a Pirate Crew?"
"Most large organizations have scoundrels, but the Marine is ultimately an excellent army that helps people every day!"
Harald still insisted on his point of view.
"Elbaf, starting with John Giant, has also produced several Marine soldiers. If more of our country's exceptionally strong warriors could join the Marine, it would help even more people!"
"That's incredible!"
Rocks first praised him, then turned his head to look at Ida, who was busy behind the bar.
"Ida, help me persuade Harald, the World Government really isn't a good thing!"
However, Harald's current state was precisely Ida's doing.
She gave Rocks a mischievous smile in response to his request.
"Indeed~ If Harald were my child, I would definitely tell him this—be careful who you befriend!"
"Hey!! Stop joking around!!"
Rocks angrily slammed his wine glass onto the bar counter, turning his head left and right, finally locking his gaze on Hitler .
"Hey! Hitler !"
"You're different from the others!"
"You help me persuade Harald!"
