Thanks to Uncle Gaban's connections in Elbaf, coupled with Osborne's formidable strength and status,
the giants showed no hostility. They even warmly invited Osborne to visit Elbaf again sometime.
Austin naturally agreed without hesitation, saying he would definitely visit again in the future, though certainly not right now.
He still had plenty to do.
Under Dragon and Vegapunk's curious gazes from afar, Osborne quickly hit it off with the giants.
In fact, because Austin possessed such high emotional intelligence and was so good with words, Gerd quickly struck up an enthusiastic conversation with him.
Eventually, the bold and uninhibited female warrior even pulled Osborne into her embrace, his entire head sinking into an abyss and nearly leaving him unable to breathe.
Austin could have resisted,
But why would he?
However, the giants had come with a mission, so Osborne did not keep them any longer.
Before parting, he merely gave them one instruction.
"Tell Saul not to worry about Little Robin. She's doing just fine."
After greeting the giants, Austin turned on his heel and returned to the sides of Dragon and Vegapunk.
Standing beside them was a stern young man carrying a black blade on his back.
"Sorry, Little Hawk... When I teleported over earlier, I forgot to bring you and the ship."
To this, Mihawk merely crossed his arms and closed his eyes in silence, too lazy to bicker with Austin about it.
As they strolled across the land of Ohara, which had now become a barren island, and watched Austin and Mihawk approach with ill intent, Dragon finally couldn't help but ask,
"So... what does someone like you want with us?"
As he spoke, he stared intently at Osborne's expression, looking extremely grave.
"It's just a small matter."
They reached an open patch amid Ohara's ruins.
