"Why?"

Hearing Brogy's stomach growl, Jinbe couldn't help but grin.

"This giant must be hungry, haha!"

Fighting? What's the point of fighting? Let's eat first!

I was completely captivated by the dinosaurs on this island while I was on the boat!

My lord, and gentlemen, please wait a moment.

I'm going to show you my hunting skills!

Just you wait and see, haha!

Before Brogy could react, Jinbe shuffled off in his slippers, his large belly protruding as he crossed the shattered land and rushed into the forest several kilometers away.

Beside Gawain, watching Jinbe Ping's unsteady back, the group of people couldn't help but stare at each other wide-eyed.

This guy is really proactive; he gets to work right away!

Before the group could finish exchanging glances, a strange noise suddenly came from the distant forest.

Jinbe, looking Jinbe dejected, carried a Brachiosaurus over thirty meters tall as he charged towards the group.

Seeing this, Brogy was startled. Despite his usually oblivious nature, he widened his eyes and gave a thumbs-up in Jinbe's direction.

"My God, this warrior is truly amazing! What superb hunting skills he possesses!"

In just a moment, did you see that? He entered the forest and caught a bear... Hey?

At this point, Brogy himself found it strange, and he pondered for a moment in confusion.

After a moment, Brogy blinked.

"Wait, I just remembered, didn't you use Conqueror's Haki in that battle just now?"

So, all the wild animals in this forest are unconscious, including the dinosaurs?

As soon as he finished speaking, Brogy quickly withdrew his thumb; he only gave his praise to the old hunter, not to the one picking up the package...

Hearing Brogy's gruff voice from afar, Jinbe shook his head in frustration.

"Hi!"

He muttered something unpleasantly.

"I had completely forgotten about that. Even I tremble when the adult unleashes his Conqueror's Haki."

Not to mention ordinary little dinosaurs!

After saying that, Jinbe happened to arrive not far from Gawain, carrying the dinosaur. He dejectedly threw the dinosaur down and then regretfully patted his belly.

"It's a real pity I can't demonstrate my hunting skills to you all."

No problem, I have some excellent grilling skills I can show off!

When it comes to barbecuing, the fuel determines half the success. The fruitwood from Mary Geoise on our Dark Bird Ship is the perfect material for setting up the stove and fire!

Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go steal... and get a batch of fruit trees right away!

Just you wait and see!!!

Before long, Jinbe rallied, swiftly crossing the land and then the sea, charging towards the Dark Bird Ship.

Watching Jinbe's figure disappear into the distance Jinbe again, Gawain sighed softly, then gave Kalifa some instructions.

"Kalifa, during your stay in the Little Garden, send people to collect more of the specialty trees from the Little Garden."

As for the quantity... at least we should make up for the forest at the stern that Jinbe plundered..."

After saying that, Gawain smiled and Jinbe his eyes. Now that Jinbe was free from pressure, his personality was becoming more and more cheerful.

When Gawain smiled, he had already finished his work with both hands.

On his left hand, a pink fox fur coat was wrapped around his arm in the shape of a bow.

On his right hand, the hem of his black and pink coat made it look as if Gawain was wearing a black arm guard.

Meanwhile, Gion and Hancock calmly tidied their clothes.

Hancock's collar was gone, and Gion took off her coat.

As for the Kuma...

From the moment Kureha boarded the ship, Kuma could no longer casually swat away Gawain's injuries.

Kureha stipulated that Gawain would not be allowed to leave unless he suffered an exceptionally severe and fatal injury.

Otherwise, Gawain must recover from other minor injuries through normal medical treatment.

We cannot excessively deplete Gawain's core vitality through repeated rapid recoveries.

So, dragging his two arms, each with a different style, Gawain came to Dorry's side and patted the big guy's ankle.

"Come on, come on, don't just stand there like an idiot."

Since Jinbe wants to deal with the fuel, let him do it. We'll help you cut the dinosaur into pieces.

Swordsmen should be more self-aware; they can't just let Sister Shakky tear an empty neck apart with her bare hands.

As for you two giants, tell me about the Brachiosaurus meat. You've probably eaten a lot of that stuff. What parts are the easiest to eat?

"Haha, you've come to the right person!"

Faced with Gawain's question, Dorry dragged his tired body and patted the Brachiosaurus's still trembling buttocks.

"Don't say anything more, just eat at the place I photographed!"

Your appetites are certainly not as great as ours, and besides, you are guests, and you were the ones who caught the prey.

The tenderest and firmest part of the dragon's buttocks is yours, and the meat on the dragon's neck is also quite good, so that's yours too.

"Brogy and I can just use the two dragon's front legs, haha!"

Amidst the laughter, Dorry simply drew his longsword and plunged it into the end of the Brachiosaurus's forelimb.

As the Brachiosaurus suddenly awoke and began to struggle violently, Dorry's longsword plunged deep into its heart.

After the Brachiosaurus stopped struggling, Dorry wiped the blood off his body and chuckled.

"This blood is a good thing, does any of you eat spicy blood curd?"

If I have any, I'll save some in a wooden basin and get a makeshift wooden pot for you to stew."

"What? You guys know this trick too?"

Zephyr was stunned by Dorry's words.

"Your Elbaf also has Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish), wow! Show me what you can do, haha!"

While laughing, Zephyr habitually shook his right hand. Ever since his hand was severed, even now that Kureha had healed it, he still felt pain in his right hand from time to time.

According to Dr. Kureha, this is called phantom limb syndrome, which is a condition in which patients imagine injuries to their limbs and thus experience phantom pain.

Kureha is currently undergoing further treatment for Zephyr.

Leaving those aside, Zephyr arrived in front of the dinosaur.

Compared to dinosaurs, his height of about three meters is still incredibly small.

But he easily lifted the Brachiosaurus's rear end with just one hand.

Without even moving his arm, Zephyr lifted the back half of Brachiosaurus with his wrist and patted the Brachiosaurus's rear end with his Armament Haki Haki-covered hand.

"This thing's butt is indeed quite pink and tender."

I remember hearing my teacher say that a long time ago.

Back in the ancient days, before our navy had warships like they are today.

Many people in the navy like to keep dinosaurs as pets and mounts.

Excellent dinosaurs were exceptionally good swimmers; they could swim much faster than many basic sailboats.

Speaking of which, haha, I remember my teacher, Kong, once said something like that.

More than two hundred years ago, a lazy marine accidentally ate the Ancient Zoan Zoan Spinosaurus Fruit. Since he didn't want to fight, he disguised himself as a real Spinosaurus in the forest of the Marine Headquarters.

As a result, it seems that he was tamed into a pet by the former Marine Admiral, and that guy refused to go to sea, secretly maintaining a pet-like life for five or six years.

Then one day, more than two hundred years ago, Admiral general decided to take this pet to the battlefield. As a result, the pet was knocked unconscious by a pirate who was then a pillar of the Happo Navy and revealed its true form on the spot.

Because of this, even the Admiral resigned, because the whole ocean was buzzing with rumors that he liked to keep men as pets, haha!

Amidst the laughter, Zephyr gently slid his right hand along the Brachiosaurus's rear end a few times.

A moment later, with a flick of Zephyr's wrist, the Brachiosaurus's rear end was split into hundreds of pieces.

Beside him, Yixiao pointed his Staff Sword at the ground, and the pieces of Brachiosaurus flesh that had split apart in the distance immediately floated up.

A moment later, a fully dissected Brachiosaurus left hind leg floated gently in front of Gawain.

"Sir, I have specially spared you a leg, but if I may be so bold, you'd better hand it over to our chef to handle."

Speaking of this, Yixiao listened intently towards the Dark Bird Ship; Jinbe was currently embroiled in a chaotic struggle with the Black Ice Terrace members over a tree...

Hearing this, Yi Xiao shook his head helplessly and continued.

"After all, whether it's Jinbe or the rest of us, no matter how much we like barbecue, it's just a hobby."

Why should we challenge chefs' professions with our hobbies?

Hearing this, Gawain couldn't help but chuckle. He patted Yi Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Ichisho, why don't you just say Jinbe's grilling skills are terrible? Why say so much? Haha."

"Jinbe We already know about Jinbe's cooking skills, don't we?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain smiled and looked at the Brachiosaurus's thigh in front of him.

"Don't worry, everyone."

We've reached Little Garden now. Beyond here is Whiskey Peak, and then Reverse Mountain.

After we pass through Reverse Mountain, we'll finally see the famous Baratie, in the East Blue!

At this point, even Gawain couldn't help but feel excited.

"Baratie, has emerged as one of the most delicious restaurants in the East Blue in recent years."

According to every diner, 80% of the food on that ship conveyed genuine emotion!

Guys, isn't this the kind of chef our Dark Bird Ship is missing?

"Jinbe's days of grilling are almost over."

While laughing, Gawain controlled the lightning to sweep away the dust that had gathered around the many pieces of meat, as well as the mud and leaves that had originally stuck to the dinosaur's body.

Rinsing with a high-current charge is much cleaner Koby rinsing with water.

Even sand is swept away by that electric current into dust that is completely invisible to the naked eye.

Watching Gawain clean up the dust, Dorry frowned slightly.

"Hey, buddy!"

He stood there and asked.

Are you sure you'll do this again?

Celestial Dragon?

Aren't you all... people who don't have to lift a finger?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Gawain smiled and shook his head, then asked.

Have you ever seen any Celestial Dragon other than me?

"Never seen it before!"

Dorry let out a long sigh of relief.

"That's right, guest. We have indeed never seen any other Celestial Dragon."

Sure enough, the rumors were true; this thing was completely unreliable.

Who said you do nothing but wait for slaves to work for you?

"So you ended up grilling the meat yourself?"

Dorry said with a smile, while he picked up the dinosaur's front leg, sat on the ground, and began to tidy up.

Giants have their own requirements for food; they require the sharp teeth and skin of their prey.

They would only eat the remaining meat after determining whether the teeth and skin were suitable for preservation.

Of course, they didn't capture the dinosaur in front of them, so they only pulled out a tooth and didn't intend to keep it.

Meanwhile, the crew of the Dark Bird Ship, relieved, joined Gawain in packing up.

Just as Gawain said, the swordsmen found their purpose at this moment, and within a few seconds, the entire dinosaur was broken down into appropriately sized pieces of meat.

Taking advantage of a lull in everyone's work, Gawain looked at Brogy and asked softly.

"Hey, Dorry, and Brogy too."

It'll be a while before we can eat, so why don't you tell us your stories?

Fine wine and barbecue always need a good story to go with them to truly enjoy the meal.

"Haha, no problem!"

Brogy laughed heartily, then sat down next to Dorry and began to tell his story.

And the first thing he said was...

"Before we set sail, we were already the strongest warriors of the younger generation in the Giant Kingdom."

No one can defeat giants under one hundred years old.

Of course, if it were a giant over two hundred years old, at the peak of his strength, we would still be far behind.

But at least in our generation, the two of us are invincible!

As Brogy finished speaking, Dorry subtly pursed his lips.

"Besides each other, buddy!"

Brogy frowned unhappily upon hearing Dorry's words.

"Yes, except for each other!"

As he spoke, Brogy peeled the skin off the foreleg in his hand, and then he continued.

"Because we can't find any rivals in our age group, and because of our age, we are far too different from the giant heroes between 190 and 220 years old."

So, at that time, we made a decision: we would leave Elbaf and go to the legendary seas to find a worthy opponent for us!

After speaking, Brogy shook his head regretfully, then let out a long sigh.

Standing to the side, Dorry continued, expressing his regret.

"We never imagined that this sea would utterly disappoint us, and also our fellow giants who left Elbaf with us!"

As he spoke, Dorry looked at Gawain, then patted his chest.

"Just like I told you before, battle should be a romance between warriors!"

The warriors picked up the same swords, hammers, and axes of equal weight, and relied on their own strength and skill to determine the victor.

In the sacred battle, every victor is a chosen one, watched over by the giant god; this is the true meaning of the fight!

However, after we left Elbaf, the enemies we encountered were nothing but despicable fellows who flaunted their firearms.

They used ships and cannons to surround and intercept us at sea, making it impossible for us to have any peace!

Many of our giant brothers died on our ships, killed by our despicable gunfire and bombs.

Their dishonorable deaths filled Brogy and me with deep regret!

"That's right, watching one clansman after another die dishonorably, Dorry and I regretted it!"

Brogy shook his head sadly to the side.

"Gawain, those guys were all sent by you Celestial Dragon. I hated you so much back then because of those things!"

However, it seems that you are not purely despicable; you are also quite powerful.

I reckon those people who attacked us back then were probably just sycophants trying to please you. A guy like you wouldn't resort to such underhanded methods to deal with us!

As soon as he finished speaking, Brogy began to knead the massive brachiosaurus foreleg in his hand. While he was kneading the flesh, Dorry continued speaking to Gawain.

"Don't listen to Brogy, let's not talk about that anymore."

In short, we fought our way through the blockades and arrived at an island where it was snowing all the time.

We were exhausted by then, having dragged countless members of our tribe to their deaths on the dishonorable battlefield. We regretted our journey.

This sea is no longer as pure as it once was; its sacredness and glory have long been forgotten by too many people!

As it happened, there was a little girl on that snowy island who asked us whose prey was bigger.

Haha, taking this opportunity, we disbanded our Grand Fleet, and then Dorry and I swam to this island in front of us and had a great time for over ninety years!

Dorry laughed and patted Brogy on the shoulder.

"Before you, many other guests who came to the island had mentioned our legend."

Many people still know that two giants fought in the Little Garden for decades without a clear victor.

There are some things I'll only talk about with you, a descendant of the Celestial Dragon, haha.

How could a true battlefield, a truly sacred battle, remain undecided for decades?

To date, the two of us have played 72,320 matches.

How could we have fought to a draw in so many battles? It's impossible that we both fought to exhaustion at the same time over 70,000 consecutive battles!

What do you think?

While asking the question, Dorry gave Brogy a hard pat on the shoulder.

"The reason it turned out that way, haha, I already told you when I thought I was going to die, Gawain."

We're brothers for life. Even if we have disagreements, even if we have to win or lose, we don't want to lose each other as good brothers.

I told you before, in those years, I dared not win, and I dared not lose!

Only in that way can my brother and I fight forever and ever until the end of time!!!

As he spoke, Dorry's smile grew even brighter, and seeing his smile, Brogy grinned and laughed along with him.

As he laughed, Brogy patted Dorry on the shoulder.

"Me too, I don't want to win, and I'm even more afraid to lose, haha!"

Without you by my side, it would be as if I had won the holy war...

Then I'm not going to be happy for the rest of my life either!!!

After shouting, Brogy put his arm around Dorry's shoulder and said seriously.

"However, Dorry, we'll settle our score sooner or later!"

How old are we this year? Over 150, right?

At most, it will be another 150 years before we truly determine the winner!

I'll definitely outlive you by two days, haha!

"You're talking nonsense!!!"

Upon hearing Brogy's words, Dorry's face turned red with anger. He grabbed Brogy's head and delivered a brutal guillotine strike.

"Brogy, I'll definitely outlive you!"

I've always been a little better than you, so how could I bear to let you see me off alone!

"That kind of pain is better experienced by me, buddy!!!"

Tickets, please!
