At night, a large ship is quietly docked on the shore of the ruins of the Vodka Kingdom. The big ship was not lit by any lights, and it looked like a giant lurking behind the canopy, but the huge world government logo on the sail did not have the slightest intention of concealing its identity.

It's in the cabin of this ship—

"Congratulations! Rob Lucci! Congratulations on becoming the youngest member in the history of CP9! ”

Congratulations were on his lips, but Spandyne, the CP9 chief, didn't pay any attention to Rob Luci in front of him, and his attention was all focused on Polusalino on the side, who was frowning at the moment.

“…… Thank you, sir. ”

Rob Luci, who still had unwiped blood on his body, replied, He did not feel any discomfort at Spandain's distraction, for his attention was as focused on Polusalino as the other man.

“…… Mr. Polusalino, may I ask you...... Is there anything you're not happy about? ”

Finally, Spandain, tormented by his inner turmoil and doubts, could not hold back and asked Polusalino so. Of course, his voice and gesture were as respectful as ever.

"Huh? Not ......."

Polusalino was not frowning at Rob Luci's mission or Spandain's hospitality, in fact, when Rob Luci was on a mission in the ruins of the Vodka Kingdom, Polusalino also took the opportunity to visit the place where Kaido had been taken in and secretly experimented on - but now there are only ruins left, nothing of value.

Truth be told, if that were the case, Porusalino wouldn't be so frowning—in fact, the real reason he was frowning was because the ruins gave him a very familiar feeling...... He took a closer look at them and found that they resembled the Sorbe Kingdom of the South Seas, which he had seen in the comics, ruled by Bartholomew Bear.

And that Solbe Kingdom, in addition to the fact that the last king was Bartholomew Big Bear, the future king of the Seven Martial Seas, is more special, and there is also an important special point that this kingdom used to be the place where the world government experimented on the giant human body......

Then, it is difficult for Polusalino not to think that the secret experiment that the world government once conducted on Kaido may also be related to the gigantic human body......

"Then you ......"

"I was wondering what reward a good young man like Rob Lucci should give him...... He did a great job today! ”

Polusalino smiled and interrupted Spandain as he tried to ask him further, his gaze naturally moving up and down Rob Lucci's body before landing on his shoulder.

"Why don't I give you a pet pigeon? I always feel like this creature is a good match for your temperament......"

……

"Hahahaha!"

"Oh, hey, hey!"

"It's a banquet!!"

In the small garden of the Ancient Island, a very lively bonfire is being held on the shore where the "Touching Fish" docks. Naturally, the navy side was fully involved, and the giant "Green Ghost" Dongli who lived on the island was also invited by Rosinandi.

"So, until the final victory is decided, Mr. Dongli, you won't leave this island?"

"That's right!"

It was obviously a giant piece of meat more than one person tall made from the dinosaurs hunted today, but in Dongli's hands, it was like an ordinary small skewer. While he stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it in three or two bites, he tapped the shield beside him with his other hand, and said proudly:

"According to our Elbaf customs, a sacred duel must produce a true winner! And the glory of the god of war will favor the victorious side! ”

"In a while, it's my 70,000th duel with that Brockie, and then we might know who is the stronger warrior, me or him! Oh, hey, hey, hey! ”

"Is Brocky the 'Red Ghost'? I think he used to be the captain of the Giant Pirates, just like Mr. Toley, right? ”

"That's right! Our giant pirates in Elbaf have always been captained by two of the strongest warriors! My teacher, Elder Yoruru the Waterfallbeard, and Elder Aruru the Mountainbeard, Brocky's teacher, were the last Captain of the Giant Pirates! ”

"Elder Yoruru's beard grows like a waterfall, and Elder Yaruru's beard is as tall as a mountain, they are not only the oldest warriors in the world, but also the greatest warriors of our Elbaf!"

"I miss the two elders, when we took over as captains of the Giant Pirates, Brocky and I were only 150 years old! Oh, hey, hey, hey! ”

"Huh? Don't you believe what I say? Rosinandi little guy? ”

After laughing, Dongli realized that Luo Nandi not only did not speak for a long time, but also lowered his head and looked pensive.

"It's not that I don't believe what you say...... Mr. Dongli, you and Mr. Brockie came to this primeval island and began a duel here more than 80 years ago, right? ”

"Yes, I remember very clearly, it was the year 1420 of the Sea Calendar, and Brocky and I were rewarded with 100 million Baileys by your navy!"

"No wonder...... Mr. Dongli, you have been cut off from the outside world for more than 80 years, and you really don't know what happened to Elbaf. ”

"Rosinandi!"

Gion, who hadn't spoken much since the beginning of the feast, frowned and spoke, as if trying to stop Rosinandi from continuing.

Bang!

The naval keg, which Dongli had used as a shot glass, suddenly lost its strength and fell from the sky, and the golden beer not only spilled the giant, but also slammed into the blazing bonfire on the side, and a large amount of white gas suddenly rose.

But Dongli didn't seem to notice it at all, and he stared at Rosinandi in a daze:

"Roxinandi! Bub! You said...... What happened to Elbaf? ”

Roxinandi, who was sitting next to the giant, raised the corners of his eyes and put down the wine glass in his hand.

“…… I'll have to wait until my superior, Lieutenant General Polusalino, returns, and he will tell you, Mr. Donley. ”

"Little one! Just tell me! What the hell is wrong with Elbaf?! ”

Dongli's expression was tense and uneasy.

"Miss Gion......

Rosinandi turned his head to look at Gion, as if trying to ask her permission.

But Gion just poured a glass of wine slowly and said nothing.

“…… Then I'll tell you, Mr. Donley, after all, we are friends, and Elbaf is also a member of the World Government,"

Rosinandi let out a long breath and said slowly, "Do you know why Elbaf, who has always been neutral, later joined the World Government? Mr. Dongli. ”

“…… I don't know. ”

Dongli shook his head, only to feel his mouth dry.

"The reason is simple, it is because the World Government and Elbaf have a common enemy, and Elbaf alone cannot compete with it...... One of the two oldest and most respected elders of the village of Elbaf, and your teacher to whom you have just mentioned, Yoruru 'Waterfall' the Beard, has personally attested to this conclusion. ”

Dongli's voice trembled a little: "...... Yoruru-sama, what's wrong with him? Say it, Rosinandi! ”

"On December 27, 1461, almost 41 years ago, a demonic little girl destroyed the village of Elbaf, and Yoruru 'Waterfall' the Beard, the former supreme leader of the Giant Pirates and one of the Giant's Elders, was killed instantly...... This is the result of a later investigation by the Navy. ”

Rosinandi raised his head and looked directly at Dongli in front of him.

“…… You're not talking about a drinking joke, Rosinandi little one, oh hey hey ......."

Dongli, who was smiling dryly, stopped, because he realized that the originally noisy crowd had fallen into complete silence at this time.

“…… That's not true, right! Rosinandi! This is not true! ”

After a moment of silence, Dongli stood up suddenly, his huge voice as if it was about to pierce people's eardrums, "A demonic little girl? How could a small child be an opponent of Yoruru-sama! ”

"It's true, Mr. Dongli!"

Rosinandi also stood up, his gaze colliding with Dongli's straight face, "That demonic little girl's name is Charlotte Lingling, and she is a powerful Devil Fruit ability!" One of the most formidable enemies of the Navy and even the world government today! ”

"Today, her bounty has exceeded 4 billion Bailey, Mr. Dongli, you are also a pirate, you should know what this means, right?!"

“……”

After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Dongli, whose eyes were red, sat down again, but his hands were still trembling uncontrollably, "Go on, Roxinandi!" Tell me everything! ”

"Actually, it was difficult for the government to accept this at first, because the strength of Elbaf's giant warriors is something that the whole world knows, and Yoruru 'Waterfall' is one of Elbaf's most powerful elders...... But both the corpse of Elder Yoruru and the near-complete destruction of the village of Elbaf speak for themselves. ”

"But that's not the real reason why that kid Charlotte Lingling is called a 'demon' and an 'evil god'...... Mr. Dongli, do you remember the fast of the winter solstice in Elbaf? ”

"Of course I do! It was the most sacred sacrifice in all of Elbaf! To thank the God of War for his blessing on us giants! ”

"That's not what I'm talking about,"

Rosinandi shook his head, "Before the winter solstice festival in Elbaf, everyone couldn't eat food, they could only drink water, and then it lasted for twelve days, right?" ”

“…… That's right. ”

"That child, Charlotte Lingling, was invited by the villagers of Elbaf to participate in the Winter Solstice Festival. But because she was suffering from a very severe food sickness, she went completely mad on the seventh day, and she not only destroyed the village of Elbaf, but also killed the giant elder Yoruru, who had come to stop her......"

"According to Yaruru the Mountainbeard, Elder Yoruru tried to stop her when he saw her madness and thought she was an evil god disguised as a child, but was defeated in one fell swoop...... Before he died, he also instructed Elbaf's warriors to get rid of Charlotte Lingling, otherwise it would bring bad luck......"

Sure enough, Elder Yoruru's words came true. Just a year after the destruction of Elbaf, six-year-old Charlotte Lingling became a pirate after killing her nun, Carmelite, who had been caring for her, and the children who were also in the orphanage...... Now she can conquer a country for sweets, and even kill her own children......"

Sister Carmelite, this woman is very familiar even with the giant Dongli, who has been cut off from the outside world for more than 80 years - she was at the execution site and persuaded the world government not to attack the members of the giant pirates who were captured in the first place, so as not to cause irreconcilable hatred between humans and giants, so she was known as the "Holy Mother". Her famous saying, "If you kill the giants, the deep hatred between the giants and the human race can no longer be resolved, keep the people under the knife, and let God let us create a beautiful world of harmony!" "It's made her famous all over the world.

Of course, only a very small number of high-ranking officials within the world government and Polusalino know that it was actually a play performed by Carmelite and the world government back then, in order to expand Carmelite's reputation, so as to be more conducive to selling homeless children for the world government as agents and spies to be cultivated in the future.

And the so-called "Lamb's House" that she established, which "does not ask about race, does not ask about identity, just to shelter homeless children", is actually an institution for trafficking children, and she herself has 50 years of experience in human trafficking.

However, Polusalino did not tell Rosinandi the truth before, but only told him the superficial truth first, so even if he was telling Dongli, Rosinandi himself gritted his teeth and looked resentful.

"For such a ridiculous reason, did you kill Elder Yoruru and Sister Carmelite, and destroy Elbaf? What a terrible demon this is!! ”

Dongli's fists were clenched tightly, and he couldn't wait to appear next to Charlotte Lingling's side in the next second, and then slash it.

Rosinandi continued: "That's why Elbaf joined the World Government, and so many Giant warriors became Navy, not only to uphold justice, but also to avenge Elder Yoruru and get rid of that demonic Charlotte Lingling! ”

"Roxinandi! Will your navy ships take me with them when they leave here? ”

Dongli suddenly asked without a clue.

"You're trying to avenge Elder Yoruru, right?"

Rosinandi shook his head, "This kind of thing, after you meet Lieutenant General Polusalino, you will know that it is unrealistic......"

"What do you mean by that, little Rosinandi?"

"Lieutenant General Polusalino is also a giant, and a much stronger giant than Mr. Donley, but even he doesn't think he can be sure to outperform that Charlotte Lingling......"

"I'm the 'Red Oni' Dongli! Rosinandi little one! I was ...... What is that?! ”

Dongli's words paused, and he, like everyone present, couldn't help but look up at the sky - it was obviously night at this time, but the whole world seemed to be lit up, and a round of "sun" appeared out of thin air in the sky!

“…… That's the sun? So how can it be the sun? ”

Dongli muttered.

And Rosinandi hooked the corners of his mouth: "No, that's Lieutenant General Polusalino, the giant of light!" ”
