Capítulo 3: Chapter 3: The Village of the Giant Warriors — Elbaf!
The sea breeze gently blew, rustling the leaves, the soft sound of rustling filling the air, while the snow accumulated on the trees fell to the ground.
Roy led Linlin towards the island.
The island where Elbaf is located is situated in the New World.
The New World lies in the second half of the Grand Line, where magnetic forces are chaotic and unpredictable, and the weather is even more volatile than the first half, creating an environment of immense danger.
Just yesterday, it was snowing heavily, but today the sky was clear and the weather had warmed up.
Thus, yesterday's snowstorm couldn't be used to determine the current season.
Weird?
But this is quite normal in the New World~
"Rustle~"
The two of them continued on, entering a dense forest. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from some thick grass ahead.
"Whoosh!"
Roy swiftly lifted his large coat, revealing a dagger hanging from his waist. He grabbed it, quickly unsheathing it.
Living alone, it's always necessary to have some self-defense weapons prepared.
"Rustle~"
A snow-white rabbit's head emerged from the grass, holding some grass in its mouth, chewing it quickly.
Its shiny black eyes locked onto the blade in Roy's hand, which gleamed with a cold, menacing light.
The rabbit's ears drooped, and it suddenly lost its appetite for the grass in its mouth.
"Whoosh!"
With lightning speed, Roy threw the dagger, aiming directly at the rabbit.
"Thud!"
The cold gleam of the blade flashed as it flew, piercing through the rabbit's fur, impaling its snow-white body and pinning it to the ground.
Linlin's eyes widened as she watched Roy, looking impressed. Then she turned her gaze to the distance where the rabbit's legs twitched, blood spilling out.
"Wow, so amazing!"
Linlin couldn't help but praise him.
"Rustle!"
In the distance, within the shadows of the forest, a large wild boar charged through the grass, smashing through all obstacles and letting out a sharp roar as it rushed towards them.
"Boom!"
The boar, nearly as large as Linlin, barreled through a tree, knocking it down with brutal force. Its fierce gaze was fixed on Roy as it charged forward!
"Be careful!" Linlin shouted, rushing in front of Roy, "No one's allowed to hurt Roy's friend!"
She raised her hand lightly and slapped.
"Boom!"
With a single slap, the wild boar was sent flying, its massive body lifting off the ground. Its sharp tusks shattered, and the body was sent tumbling in different directions.
The boar collided with a large tree, which cracked and splintered under the impact. The boar then crashed into another tree.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
After smashing through several trees, the wild boar finally came to a stop, its massive body lying on its back, blood oozing from its head, and its skull cracked open. It was dead beyond saving.
"Linlin." Roy's heart raced when he saw the aftermath of the slap.
With just a gentle slap, she had killed a giant wild boar. And she was still a child! Soon, this same Linlin would defeat a giant warrior. Such talent...
I want that!
But honestly, Charlotte Linlin, you're amazing!
"Ah, I didn't control my strength well." Linlin turned around with a sheepish smile.
Hmm, several trees had fallen in the forest, and as Linlin turned, she quickly blocked out the sunlight.
"Nice job, Linlin!" Roy gave her a thumbs up, praising her.
At this stage, Charlotte Linlin was still very innocent. The only time she would act out was when she couldn't satisfy her hunger.
She wasn't yet the notorious Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors!
So, at this age, Linlin was still quite easy to please. A simple compliment or a tasty treat, and she'd be friends with Roy.
"Hehehe." Linlin cupped her round face with her hands, grinning happily.
"Linlin, come on, let's handle the boar and rabbit. We're going to have a big meal!" Roy said to her, pointing at the large wild boar.
"Okay!" Linlin nodded excitedly.
Not long after.
By the side of a small river.
With Linlin's help, Roy had the boar all processed, dividing the meat into several large pieces, which he placed on sticks to roast over a fire.
The little rabbit was also cleaned and roasting.
The animals in the world of One Piece can be pretty massive.
Linlin, now about the size of a young giant, had the same size as the wild boar, which was only slightly smaller than her.
Clearly, this boar was the dominant creature in this forest.
"Sizzle, sizzle~"
As the boar meat turned on the spit, the oil dripped off, falling into the fire with a soft crackle, and the delicious aroma spread instantly.
Roy pulled some seasoning from his pocket and sprinkled it on the roasting meat.
It was normal to carry some seasoning when living alone and traveling.
"Linlin, you can start eating." Roy handed a piece of the delicious roasted meat to Linlin.
"Thank you!" Linlin excitedly took the meat, nodding happily.
Ah, the young Linlin is so cute... so easy to please~
In a few decades, when she's a feared pirate empress, who would believe she'd say "thank you" with such a sweet smile?
[Intimacy with Charlotte Linlin +5!]
Roy looked at the intimacy score with Linlin, which had now reached 55. Just 5 more points, and he would unlock Linlin's full profile!
"Eat slowly, there's plenty more for you." Roy teased while eating the roasted rabbit.
"Mm-mm, Roy is the best!" Linlin nodded eagerly.
After they were full and rested, they continued on their journey.
That afternoon, with the sun shining brightly and the weather calm, Roy and Linlin walked for a long while. Though they hadn't encountered anyone from the island or asked for directions,
they were fortunate and soon spotted the outline of a village in the distance.
It wasn't that Roy had particularly sharp eyesight—it was just that this village was huge!
This was the village of the Giant Warriors—Elbaf!
On the village's outskirts, giant figures could be seen walking. The adult giants were towering, their bodies taller than trees, standing at least ten meters tall.
One giant, wearing a massive helmet, goggles, and a gray fur coat, with a giant sword placed beside him, was leisurely drinking by the village edge.
When he lifted his gaze, he immediately spotted a little girl in distinctive pink clothes and pink hair.
"Ah~ whose child is this? She seems so unfamiliar?" Redin looked at the little girl, puzzled.
Elbaf was the village of the giants.
The little girl appeared to be about the same size as the young giants, but oddly enough, he didn't recognize her.
"Hello, excuse me, could you tell me where the Lamb's House is?" A crisp, youthful voice rang out. Redin turned his gaze from the little girl to see, beside her, a normal-sized human boy.
"Oh~" Redin stood up and pointed to a spot not far from the village, "You mean the Lamb's House in Galmero? I'll take you there."
