“Wow——”
“Such big footprints!”
“They’re really bigger than those of an adult Giant Clan…”
Led by El.
The group landed on the shore and came to a few “big pits.”
Those deep and shallow, somewhat exaggerated giant footprints, left everyone speechless.
“No, there are other human footprints here…”
El quickly noticed something amiss, because there were quite a few denser footprints: “And there’s a good number of them, but it should have been a long time ago!”
He furrowed his brows slightly.
His Observation Haki, which had been strengthened through continuous training, was already extremely powerful.
It was released instantly, engulfing the entire island, and soon perceived a powerful aura.
His brows relaxed slightly, this aura…
It seemed that his efforts hadn’t been in vain.
“Huh?”
“Did someone come here?”
Lingling, Gailz, and Hailin were filled with astonishment.
Even Long Bread was somewhat bewildered, this place was near the edge of the Calm Belt, which could be considered quite remote.
He had initially rejected the recruitment of other pirates, and in order to avoid their pursuit, he had deliberately ventured here to lie low.
“It’s the traces of a battle…”
El led the group forward.
They soon discovered craters, bomb craters…
They even found deformed bullet and cannonball remnants: “Judging by these marks, it should have been two or three years ago!”
“If I’m not mistaken, the World Government probably discovered the ancient Giant Clan living here and dispatched the Navy here!”
“World Government? Navy?”
“What does the World Government want to capture the ancient Giant Clan for?”
Hearing El’s explanation.
Lingling, Gailz, and the others were filled with astonishment and confusion.
Even Long Bread was somewhat bewildered, what did the World Government have nothing better to do than to specially send people to capture the ancient Giant Clan?
The two ancient Giants he had encountered were peacefully living in seclusion, and they didn’t go out to cause trouble, they were nothing like pirates.
“It’s said that the World Government has always coveted the Giants’ combat power, they are secretly conducting human gigantification experiments, attempting to turn human soldiers into Giants and even ancient Giants…”
El wasn’t surprised, he calmly said, “Therefore, they have been continuously capturing these rare and unique races, using them as experimental subjects for secret research!”
“Of course, our Lunaia Clan is also among them!”
“What!?”
“Those bastards of the World Government…”
“It’s so despicable!”
Hearing El say this.
The group couldn’t help but their pupils constrict.
And Gailz and Hailin, the two Giants.
They were both filled with righteous indignation and gnashed their teeth.
“Boom… Boom…”
At that moment, the earth trembled.
An astonishing aura was approaching.
A huge green figure came charging out of the forest.
It swung its thick bone club and slammed it hard at El and the others: “You despicable humans, die!”
“Boom!!”
The huge bone club.
Was pressed down by El, who remained expressionless.
“What?”
With a green face and fangs, and growing horns.
The figure, whose entire body was green and no less than ten meters tall, a normal Giant, stared wide-eyed.
He looked at El in disbelief.
He didn’t expect that this fellow, who was even smaller than him and had wings.
Had such strength that he easily blocked his attack.
You must know that even those ferocious Sea Kings.
He could smash their heads with one club.
“Boom…”
Grasping the bone club, El lightly flicked it.
He instantly sent the opponent flying away in disgrace.
He slammed heavily on the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust.
“Hmm?”
“This is…”
“Is it a young ancient Giant?”
Lingling, Gailz, Long Bread, and the others were all surprised to look at the opponent.
Because, the monstrous humanoid figure in front of them, with green skin and growing horns, was not as huge as they had imagined.
He was even smaller than some adult Giant warriors.
But his fierce appearance seemed very young.
Allowing one to easily discern that he was still just a child.
“Hey hey, you attacked directly as soon as you arrived, without even saying hello, that’s not polite behavior!”
El calmly said.
He came to the opponent’s side.
Looking at the giant figure who was in a sorry state and lying on the ground: “Can you tell me what exactly happened here?”
Speaking.
His right hand directly probed the opponent’s head.
He instantly probed his memories.
As El had guessed.
This young ancient Giant was none other than the future captain of Whitebeard’s Pirate Crew, Little Oars Jr.
Four hundred years ago, he had caused havoc in the North Blue, he loved to move countries or islands that he liked, the “Country-Moving Demon” Oars, the offspring of the Demon Oars.
In Little Oars’ memory.
He had lived here with his parents since he was a child.
About two or three years ago, suddenly a group of government agents wearing suits and carrying guns, along with a large number of Navy soldiers, came here in a warship.
They tried to capture Little Oars’ parents.
After an intense battle, because the Navy used a large number of cannonballs, and a large dosage of tranquilizer guns.
But Little Oars’ parents, who only knew how to use brute force and were not good at fighting, were eventually outnumbered, their strength gave way, and they fell, being captured by the World Government.
And Little Oars was arranged by his parents to hide in a cave.
So he escaped.
“The offspring of Demon Oars?”
El withdrew his right hand, smiling, “Don’t misunderstand, we’re not the Navy, we have no ill intentions…”
According to the World Government’s consistent style.
And their relentless pursuit of human gigantification experiments for hundreds of years.
If I’m not mistaken, Little Oars’ parents have likely become experimental subjects.
And most likely, their fate is sealed.
“Really?”
Little Oars’ eyes widened.
He looked at these figures who were much smaller than him, but much larger than ordinary humans, with some doubt.
“Of course, Hailin and I are Giants…” Gailz stepped forward and crossed his arms, “And you, this ancient Giant, are considered our kin too!”
“Is that so?”
Hearing this.
Little Oars subconsciously believed the other party.
He sat up straight, scratching his head and said in a silly way, “Hello, my name is Little Oars… I’m sorry, I thought you were on the same side as those nasty Navy!”
“My name is Kukulkan El, I am a descendant of the Lunaia Clan and the Giant Clan, just like you, my parents were also killed by the World Government and the Navy…”
El pointed to Lingling, Gailz, and Hailin, smiling, “They’re all my companions!”
“Huh? You were also persecuted by the Navy?”
“That’s right, we’re the same…”
…
