The clown is actually me?

"Cheating, you're cheating!"

Because of Mongge's reminder, Healding lost the match, which made the old Giant Yoruru so angry his face turned red and his neck thick, almost challenging Mongge to a duel himself.

"Pfft hahaha, I just told Rocks not to hold back. Isn't it respecting your opponent to go all out?"

Mongge laughed uncontrollably. He admitted that without his reminder, it would have been much harder for Rocks to win this fight.

But this was Rocks' own ability, and it was only a matter of time before he discovered it.

Mongge had no doubt about this.

"I'm sorry, Lord Yoruru, I lost!"

The young Giant pouted and gritted his teeth, looking like he was about to cry.

"Don't be discouraged, Healding."

Aruru patted Healding's shoulder and comforted him, "You're still young. Once you're an adult, you'll definitely become countless times stronger than you are now."

"Yeah!"

Healding nodded heavily.

"How about it?"

Rocks walked up to Mongge. "Can you teach me the Six Powers now?"

After two months together, Rocks had learned a lot from Mongge.

This included knowledge about the "Six Powers."

The rapid "Soru" achieved by continuously stomping the ground for a short period.

"Tekkai," which accelerates blood flow, making the body as hard as steel.

"Kami-e," which allows for free control of the body.

"Geppo," which allows one to walk on air.

And the kicking technique "Rankyaku," which compresses air into a blade, and "Shigan," which concentrates power into the fingers to attack enemies like bullets.

Even Mongge had to admit that the person who developed the Six Powers was a genius. Learning the Six Powers meant that one's physical potential had been developed to its limit, signifying the qualification to master Haki.

"I keep my promises. Lipri, you should come too. Although it's very difficult for Giants to learn the complete Six Powers, further developing your body will easily help you master Haki."

That's right, although her strength was much greater than Rocks', Lipri, who had only recently become an adult, had not yet mastered Haki.

In fact, most Giants couldn't learn Haki.

Their massive size gave them immense power, but it also made it difficult for them to develop their own potential. For starters, the amount of Haki required to cover just one arm was astonishing.

"A bet is a bet. Since your little crewmate won, we will keep our promise. As long as His Majesty Harald agrees, we will use the Adam Wood stored in our warehouse to build you a large ship."

After comforting Healding, Aruru stroked his fluffy beard and walked over.

Mongge's original pirate ship, the Black Pearl, was a large vessel nearly sixty meters long and forty meters wide, more than enough to house dozens of people.

However, if Lipri were to join, the Black Pearl would seem rather small.

Lipri alone was twenty meters tall, and on most pirate ships, she would take up all the deck space just by lying down.

Therefore, a new ship would need to be at least over a hundred meters long.

Mongge thought of the cargo ships he had seen in his previous life.

They were often hundreds of meters long, with a carrying capacity easily exceeding hundreds of thousands of tons.

The current problem was...

The Giant Tribe could help him build a ship over a hundred meters long, but whether he could sail it was another matter. Controlling the sails alone wasn't as simple as just turning a rudder.

His pirate crew was still too small.

Mongge glanced at Charlotte Linlin. Although she was a future Four Emperor, she was currently just a five-year-old girl who couldn't walk past delicious food.

The bonfire party lasted for several hours, from sunset to moonrise. Charlotte Linlin ate desserts for hours straight.

"Delicious!"

Charlotte Linlin's face showed a blissful smile.

"Grandpa Mongge, do you want some?"

Seeing Mongge looking over, Charlotte Linlin offered him a piece of cake with her dirty hands.

"Then I won't be polite."

Mongge chuckled. Charlotte Linlin was still at her most innocent and pure age now, a stark contrast to the cruel and heartless Empress of the Sea she would become.

[Charlotte Linlin's Affection: -10.]

[Current Affection: 30 (Friendly)]

[Charlotte Linlin: Even though Grandpa ate my cake, he's probably a good person, right?]

The smile on Mongge's face froze instantly.

I just ate one piece of your cake. You were just being polite?

Am I the clown here?

Mongge sighed. Although Charlotte Linlin wasn't as brutal as she would become later, she was still possessive of her food.

"Linlin, do you know what ice cream is?"

"Ice cream?"

"Yes, it's like cake, a cake you only eat in the summer."

Mongge crushed a biscuit into a cylindrical shape. The power of his Mythical Zoan fruit quickly caused a large mass of crushed ice to condense on the cylinder.

Cake and crushed ice combined, and a simple ice cream was made.

Elbaf's June was scorching hot.

In this era, unlike in Mongge's memories, not every household had air conditioning.

Under these circumstances.

The allure of ice cream became immense.

"Linlin, do you want some?"

"Yes!"

The chubby little girl nodded vigorously.

"I have a lot more here. You need to share it with everyone and eat it together."

Mongge made a large batch of ice cream in the same way.

The giants had just finished dinner and could have some dessert.

"So cold!"

A giant girl took a portion of ice cream from Linlin and took a careful lick. Her face immediately lit up with happiness.

"It's like 'Samura' in the summer!"

"Haha, I just made it casually. If you like it, I can make more next time."

Mongge said with a smile.

He saw that Charlotte Linlin's face also showed a happy expression after eating the ice cream.

"It's delicious!"

"Grandpa Mongge, I want more!"

"No, eating too much ice cream in a short period will give you a headache."

Although agreeing to Charlotte Linlin's request might have earned him more favor, Mongge knew that spoiling a child was harming them.

Mongge didn't want Charlotte Linlin to repeat the path she took in his previous world.

He would refuse when necessary.

With Mongge's strength, suppressing a five-year-old Charlotte Linlin was easy.

One night passed quickly.

Ever since his cells' activity increased, Mongge's sleep had become more stable.

He woke up feeling refreshed.

At the same time, the old giant Aruru brought news.

"Kid Mongge, come with me to Orlst Castle."

"His Majesty wants to see you."
