Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Back to Dreamland

"Huh?"

"Ancient giants?"

"Are there really giants bigger than the regular ones?"

"Unbelievable..."

Three days later, at Dreamland, a group of troubled children from the Dream House were filled with surprise when they saw El, Linlin, Hajrudin, and Streusen return with Little Oars.

They curiously examined Little Oars, who had adjusted his size to match El and the others. His green skin, fierce face, and fangs made him look intimidating, yet his expression held a sense of innocence.

Meanwhile, Little Oars looked around, fascinated by the whimsical Dreamland, a place he had never imagined. His eyes sparkled with excitement when he saw the giant Ferris wheel, and he couldn't help but want to try it out.

"Alright, from today onwards, Oars is one of us. Everyone, get along with him!" El smiled as he introduced Oars to the group.

"Got it, Boss El!"

"Don't worry, I'll look after him!"

"Look after him? One step from Oars would flatten you like a fishcake!"

"He'll need me for that, haha…"

"Hi, Oars..."

The group of troubled children bantered and teased each other in a lively but friendly manner. Despite their playful arguments, they got along well, thanks to Sister Carmel's old teachings. Conflicts never led to hatred or grudges, and El had established rules to ensure fairness. If a dispute couldn't be resolved, they could settle it with an open, honest fight and then train harder to win next time. Of course, El forbade any bullying based on strength.

Sometimes, the kids needed El, their "guardian," to mediate and guide them.

"Alright, everyone line up, and I'll introduce Oars..." Gerd cheerfully stepped forward to introduce everyone to Little Oars. "This is Tain from the Longarm Tribe, Rock from the Longleg Tribe, Moss from the Mink Tribe, Barry from the Snakeneck Tribe, and Jien from the Fish-men Tribe…"

When these different children first met Linlin, the original "problem child," she nearly scared them half to death. Her curiosity led her to "kindly" try to make them look more like regular humans. She wanted to remove the Longarm Tribe's extra joints, shorten the Snakeneck Tribe's long necks, and pluck the Mink Tribe's fur.

Had El not intervened in time, half of them might not have survived her "kindness."

"Hello, everyone... I'm Oars!"

Little Oars grinned happily as he looked down at his new friends, all from different races but welcoming and kind. El and the others hadn't lied—there really were many companions from different species, and they all lived happily together.

"El, it's been a while since I've been out. I need to head back to Elbaf with Hajrudin for a bit..."

Gerd ran up to El, smiling brightly. "Want to come with us?"

Adventuring with El had been far more exciting than staying in Elbaf. Even though the training with El was tough, Gerd knew it was for their benefit.

"You two go ahead. Give my regards to Mountain Beard and Waterfall Beard. Next time, I'll bring some good wine to Elbaf when I visit. Stay safe!" El nodded with a smile. He understood that Gerd and Hajrudin were still children, and it was natural for them to miss their families after being away for a long time.

"Haha, we won't be gone long, Boss El!" Hajrudin said with a laugh.

"Gerd, bring me something tasty!" Linlin's eyes sparkled as she looked at Gerd.

"Something tasty? Sure, Linlin. I'll bring you some Semla!" Gerd winked at her.

"Semla? Thanks so much, Gerd… I can't wait!" Linlin's mouth watered at the thought of Semla, the delicious dish from Elbaf that she couldn't forget.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the group, Gerd and Hajrudin leaped onto Zeus the Thundercloud's back and sped off toward Elbaf.

"Goodbye!!"

...

"Moss, come over here!"

Sitting casually on a swinging chair, El watched the group of children happily bonding with Little Oars, laughing and riding the merry-go-round together.

He took out the Bird-Bird Fruit, Ancient Model: Pelagornis Bird, and called over Moss, the lion-like Mink Tribe boy.

"Boss El..."

The ten-year-old Moss, scratching his head, ran over curiously and asked, "What's up?"

"Do you remember this?"

El tossed the fruit to Moss with a smile.

"Huh? Isn't this the fruit I found?"

Catching the fruit with its strange patterns, Moss looked closely and widened his eyes in surprise. "Sister said it was poisonous and threw it away!"

Indeed, El had learned from Sister Carmel's memories that this Devil Fruit had been found by Moss and his friends while playing in the forest. Carmel had tricked him into giving it to her.

"That was a lie Carmel told you!"

El explained bluntly, "This is a Devil Fruit, a treasure of the sea. It's the Bird-Bird Fruit, Ancient Model: Pelagornis Bird. If you sold it, it would be worth at least a billion beli!"

"What!?"

"This is a Devil Fruit?"

The kids from Dream House were all shocked, staring at the strange fruit in amazement. They never expected it to be the legendary Devil Fruit that granted mystical powers.

El, Linlin, Gerd, Hajrudin, and Streusen were all Devil Fruit users.

"Damn that Sister!"

"That rotten kidnapper…"

Realizing they had been deceived, Moss, Jien, Rock, and the others gritted their teeth in anger and cursed Sister Carmel.

"Since you found it, it chose you...."

El smiled at Moss and said, "So it's yours to eat!"

As a member of the Mink Tribe with beastly strength, Moss already had impressive combat potential. Among all the children, he excelled the most in training the Six Powers, showing great talent and progress. At just ten years old, Moss had already mastered 'Shave,' the fastest move of the Six Powers.

El could only imagine how powerful Moss would become once he mastered the Mink Tribe's electro techniques and the Moon Lion transformation, combined with the Bird-Bird Fruit, Ancient Model: Pelagornis Bird. He would essentially be a low-level version of a Mythical Zoan Griffin, and not far behind other Mythical Zoan users like those with the Tengu or Pegasus forms. In terms of flight, the Pelagornis Bird's capabilities were among the best.

"Huh? You're giving it to me?"

Moss was stunned, not expecting El to hand him the fruit. The other children looked a bit envious, but none objected. After all, if Carmel hadn't tricked Moss, he would have eaten the fruit long ago.

"Didn't you say you envied me and Linlin for being able to fly?"

El patted Moss's head and smiled. "Eat it, and you'll be able to transform into a giant Pelagornis Bird and fly freely in the sky!"

"But once you become a Devil Fruit user, you'll have to train even harder to live up to your new powers."

"Yes, Boss El..."

Grasping the Devil Fruit, Moss's face flushed with excitement. Determined, he said, "I'll work hard!"

Without hesitation, he took a big bite.

"Ugh—" His face turned green as he gagged. "It tastes horrible!"

"Haha…"

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: El's Teaching Little Oars Jr. the Six Power

"Shriek—"

A piercing cry rang out.

Before the astonished onlookers at Dream House, Moss, a member of the lion Mink Tribe, began to grow rapidly in size. His arms transformed into wings, and his body morphed into an enormous Pelagornis bird, resembling a seagull but with sharp teeth and an imposing form.

"Woohoo…"

With a powerful flap of his massive wings, Moss, now a Pelagornis, took flight, creating gusts of wind as he soared into the sky.

"This is amazing! I'm really flying!" Moss exclaimed joyfully, speeding higher into the air. Instinctively, he spread his wings wide, effortlessly gliding, circling, and diving.

"Not bad..." El nodded in approval. If his crew could eventually develop something like a Rumble Ball, which altered the transformation forms of Zoan Devil Fruits, that would make everything even better.

Having wings in place of arms was still not as practical as having wings grow directly from the back. Wings on the back would allow one to retain the ability to fight with both hands while flying, making it far more versatile in combat.

El mused about the future. Perhaps they could persuade Vegapunk, the world's greatest scientist, to develop a drug that could alter Zoan transformations. If not, El wouldn't hesitate to use force. He certainly had no intention of allowing a talent like Vegapunk to remain in the hands of the World Government. Once Vegapunk advanced the bloodline factor and artificial Devil Fruit technology, El intended to extract every bit of value from him. And if Vegapunk couldn't be controlled, El wouldn't hesitate to eliminate him.

But for now, Vegapunk was still just a child, likely even younger than Charlotte Linlin. El decided he would deal with him once the scientist grew up and returned to his home, Karakuri Island, in the future.

"Alright, everyone…"

El clapped his hands to gather attention, addressing the children who had gathered to watch Moss. "Stop crowding around! Get back to training!"

"Streusen, you'll be supervising. If anyone slacks off, you'll be training through the night with no dinner!"

"Yes, El-sama!" Streusen responded firmly.

The children, including Linlin, quickly ran to the training grounds by the coast and began their exercises in earnest.

"Huh?" Little Oars scratched his head. "What about me, El?"

"Didn't I teach you the basics of the Six Powers over the past three days?"

El, preparing to practice his own Six Powers, smiled and said, "Just follow those instructions and keep training."

With his natural gifts, incredible strength, and the knowledge El had gained from reading the memories of a high-ranking CP0 agent, El had quickly mastered most of the Six Powers. Over the past few days, while returning to Dreamland, he had spent time each day teaching Little Oars how to train in the Six Powers.

Thanks to the Mini Mini Fruit's shrinking ability, Little Oars, an Ancient Giant, had drastically reduced his size, making his compressed body even more durable. Despite his smaller frame, he retained immense strength and speed. Through El's patient demonstrations, Little Oars had managed to roughly grasp 'Shave,' though his immense power nearly tore the ship apart in the process.

"Is this how it works?"

Little Oars stomped the ground.

"Boom..." The earth shattered beneath his feet as his shrunken two-meter frame vanished in a blur, reappearing several meters away.

"Finger Pistol!" At the same time, he extended his green index finger like a bullet, striking the trunk of a tree.

"Boom..."

The entire tree exploded and snapped in two, causing Linlin, Rock, Jien, and the others to turn their heads in surprise. Although they were familiar with the incredible strength displayed by El and Linlin, Little Oars' demonstration still left them in awe.

"..."

El's mouth twitched slightly. That wasn't 'Finger Pistol'—it was just brute force that shattered the tree.

"Watch carefully. You need to control your strength and avoid breaking the ground. That way, you won't waste energy, and you'll be able to move faster."

El personally demonstrated, vanishing in a blur as he stomped the ground, reappearing in front of Little Oars. "When you can do it this smoothly, you'll have mastered 'Shave' perfectly!"

"And as for 'Finger Pistol,' this is how it's done!"

With a quick step, El stood in front of the broken tree. His right hand flashed, and his index finger pierced the air like a bullet.

"Zing... zing..."

Under Little Oars' amazed gaze, the tree's massive trunk was riddled with small, black holes, each perfectly precise without damaging the rest of the tree.

The goal wasn't always about holding back power. While penetrating a target's weak point could kill an enemy, overwhelming them with sheer force could do the same. Physical techniques and martial arts were meant for swift, efficient combat. Each person had their own style, and there was no definitive "right way." However, mastering one's strength and control would undoubtedly make a fighter stronger, allowing them to conserve energy and maintain an advantage in battle.

That was why El had spent time learning the Six Powers. His goal wasn't to become a martial arts master but to fully understand and control every muscle in his body. This mastery would help him unlock the secrets of Life Return.

"Moonwalk!"

With a tap of his foot, El launched himself into the air, smoke trailing from his feet as he soared without using his wings.

Everyone watched in awe.

"You're already a Devil Fruit user, so aside from 'Shave' and 'Moonwalk,' the rest of the Six Powers are optional. You can focus on the techniques that suit you, or I can teach you swordsmanship."

El landed smoothly on the ground, smiling. "But I think your Devil Fruit power is better suited for a different approach to 'Finger Pistol.'"

"In battle, you could shrink your body to its smallest size and launch yourself at the enemy like a bullet, piercing them with your speed."

"Or, you could enter their body, revert to your giant form, and expand until you burst them from the inside."

Although Ancient Giants weren't known for their intelligence, Little Oars had a natural racial advantage and was obedient, never slacking off. Hard work could make up for a lack of intelligence, and with dedication, Little Oars had great potential for the future.
