“Roar——”
Elbaf.
A beastly roar echoed through the sky.
It startled many of the Giant Warriors and the children of the Lambs' Home.
A gargantuan creature, a hundred meters long, flew towards them, its presence a terrifying sight: “Don’t be afraid, I’m El- ”
“Eh? El?”
“Is this the legendary Feathered Serpent God?”
“Is this El’s power? This is the first time I’ve seen it!”
Hearing El’s familiar voice.
The Giant Warriors, who had been on high alert, holding their weapons, couldn’t help but widen their eyes, but also relaxed.
They gazed at the majestic, colossal creature with awe.
“Clang clang… bang!” One by one, huge iron cages were gently deposited onto the ground.
Inside, were the children who had been sold by the nun, still unconscious after being knocked out by the Haki of Conquering, their faces pale.
“They are… ”
“Moss? Utan? Locke? Tyne?”
“What’s going on? Didn’t Carmel just send them to be raised by others?”
The alerted Giant Warriors gathered around.
Looking at the children of various races confined in the cages, they quickly recognized them— all children of the Lambs’ Home.
These mischievous, trouble-making children, they were frequently seen in the village, always causing a ruckus.
But as long as they didn’t cause too much trouble, the Giant Warriors would turn a blind eye, for the sake of Nun Carmel, the “Holy Mother.”
“El… what is this?”
The two elders of the Giant Warriors, Mountain Beard and Waterfall Beard, were also alarmed.
They looked up at the giant Feathered Serpent God in the sky, with apprehension.
Their faces turned solemn.
“It’s like this, two elders… ”
The Feathered Serpent God’s massive body, a hundred meters long, contracted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
El, transformed back into his human form, flapped his wings and descended.
He landed in front of Mountain Beard and Waterfall Beard.
“I heard Gailz mention that this morning, Nun Carmel was going to send these children to be raised by others, and I felt something was amiss…”
El’s face was serious as he looked at the two Giant Warrior elders, and said in a deep voice: “I rushed over to the nearby islands and investigated!”
“I discovered she wasn’t sending them to good families to be raised, but selling these children with good potential to the World Government!”
“What!?”
“Impossible—”
“You’re joking, right?”
“That’s not funny at all!”
“El, do you know what you’re talking about?”
“Nun Carmel, she’s the ‘Holy Mother’!”
“Yes, how could a nun, for the sake of money, collude with the World Government?”
…
Upon hearing this—
The Giant Warriors present.
All turned pale with shock, unable to believe what they were hearing.
Some even looked at El angrily, and loudly rebuked him.
“Everyone, be quiet!!”
Mountain Beard Yalluru, the leader, waved his hand, motioning for everyone to quiet down.
He glanced at the children locked in the cages, who, though unconscious, had expressions of fear, and pale faces, obviously traumatized.
He couldn’t help but frown, his eyes fixed on El in front of him: “I believe you’re not a child who makes jokes easily, but this is too big, it’s hard for us to believe you!”
Waterfall Beard Yorrulu stroked his beard, his face was a mix of emotions, and he asked in a deep voice: “Do you have any evidence? El… where’s Carmel?”
El spoke frankly: “I’m very sorry, she’s a user of the Soul Soul Fruit, so it might be troublesome to keep her around!”
“To prevent any accidents, I directly killed her!”
“What!?”
“Damn it—”
“Unforgivable, what did you do to the nun?”
Hearing El say he had killed Nun Carmel.
The Giant Warriors present were all shocked, looking at El in disbelief, both surprised and angry.
Especially the members of the Giant Soldier Pirate Crew who had been publicly executed but were rescued, felt immense gratitude towards Carmel.
They were enraged, instinctively wanting to charge at El.
“Stop—”
“All of you, calm down!”
Mountain Beard Yalluru and Waterfall Beard Yorrulu roared out.
Their faces were more solemn than ever before as they stopped the enraged Giant Warriors.
“Mountain Beard sir! Waterfall Beard sir!”
“Two sirs, this is no longer a child’s prank!”
“The nun saved our lives!!”
“She’s the ‘Holy Mother’ recognized by the whole world, she’s saved countless children, how could she possibly sell these kids to the World Government?”
The Giant Soldier Pirate Crew members who had been saved by Carmel were filled with emotion.
But they didn’t dare disobey the orders of Mountain Beard and Waterfall Beard, the two elders of the Giant Warriors, and they clenched their fists, their anger bubbling up, as they glared at El.
The nun was a “Holy Mother” respected by the whole world.
Her whole life was spent practicing good deeds, saving and sheltering countless homeless children, teaching them well, and then sending them to be raised by well-off families.
El claimed that the nun was trading with the World Government.
Like a human trafficker, buying and selling children, and even directly killing her.
This was no longer a childish prank, it couldn’t be easily forgiven.
“El, I believe you wouldn’t lie…”
Mountain Beard looked at El helplessly, and said in a low voice: “But you’ve gone too far!”
“We’ve known Carmel for many years, and have been observing her, we’ve never seen anything abnormal about her behavior…” Waterfall Beard Yorrulu said solemnly: “There might be a misunderstanding here!”
They were experienced, and compared to the other Giant Warriors, they wouldn’t be easily swayed by emotions.
After all, El was also a born warrior with half Giant Warrior blood, and usually didn’t have any special conflicts with Carmel, so they thought there might be a misunderstanding.
It was just that this little guy was too decisive, he had actually directly killed Carmel, who was also regarded as a “Holy Mother” by the Giant Warriors.
This was obviously not something that could be easily explained with a few words.
“Two sirs, you know me, if I had no evidence, I wouldn’t act rashly…”
Facing the doubts.
El was prepared.
He directly took a large stack of documents from the sack on his back.
He handed it to the two highly respected Giant Warrior elders, and introduced: “This is the information I collected from the World Government ship!”
“Inside, there’s not only Carmel’s personal information, but also the records of this “Holy Mother”’s previous transactions with them, as well as the list of children who were to be sold this time!”
“Also, after these children wake up, you can interrogate them, they should have seen the true face of this ‘Holy Mother’!”
“Furthermore, I checked under Carmel’s bed, and found a hidden compartment, which contained her transaction records with the World Government over the years, and information on all the children who were sold before!”
“I think this evidence combined, is enough to prove the truth!”
“What!?”
