Harvest, Mini Fruit!

The Marine Admirals have been repelled. Next up are those CP0 agents who kidnapped the children.

"Your Majesty Harald, leave this to me!"

Garumoro stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"I will definitely bring them back safely."

The giants were not yet aware of who had abducted the two giant children. However, upon waking and finding the letter left at their doorstep, Garumoro understood that this operation was not targeting the Giant Tribe or Mongge, but her.

"No!"

But Giant King Harald refused without a second thought.

"Resisting invaders was originally our duty. Asking our friends for help is already a disgrace. Next, we will wash away our shame!"

The Marine Admirals left. Their failure to attack Elbaf until the very end indicated that the Marines' target was not Elbaf.

However, it was a fact that someone took advantage of the Marine Admirals' invasion to abduct their giant children.

In the eyes of the giant warriors of Elbaf, such an act was undoubtedly a provocation.

"If I don't kill those scoundrels, I have no right to thank the sun!"

"This is a disgrace to our Elbaf!"

"It's time to remind those scoundrels of the fear they felt when we giants ruled!"

"..."

The giants were filled with righteous indignation. At this point, even if Garumoro had stepped forward and said that the kidnappers were World Government CP agents, the giants would not have listened.

They didn't know who their enemy was. They only knew that someone had abducted their giant children.

"Those foolish people think they can escape our pursuit, but don't forget, this is Elbaf, the homeland of giants!"

"Batiyan!"

As Giant King Harald's voice rang out, a giant with his head bowed low and a hoarse voice appeared before them.

As soon as he appeared, feathers began to grow on his hands and cheeks. Finally, he leaped from the edge of the Sunny Realm and reappeared as a white eagle with a wingspan exceeding fifty meters, looking benevolent.

"A Zoan Devil Fruit user..."

Rocks muttered to himself. For the past six months, he had not only been training but also diligently studying much of the maritime knowledge he had previously been unaware of.

For example, Devil Fruits.

The white eagle before him must have transformed after eating one of the three great Devil Fruits, a Zoan Fruit. Rocks had initially thought that giants like Lipri couldn't use Devil Fruits.

But now, it seemed his assumption was completely wrong.

"Your Majesty, I've found them."

The giant, transformed into a white eagle, merely circled Elbaf for a short while before locating a small boat that had just sailed a short distance away from the island.

On the small boat, Geruz and Healding, being too large to fit inside the cabin, lay on the deck, making them particularly conspicuous.

"Alright, then we..."

"Harald, how about you listen to a suggestion from me?"

Hearing Mongge's voice, Harald looked up. While the giants were still conversing, Mongge had returned to the Sunny Realm from the Underworld using Geppo.

Despite being covered in wounds, not a single giant present dared to underestimate the old man before them.

"Mongge, this is a matter for our Giant Tribe!"

It was already humiliating enough to have Mongge help repel the Marine Admirals. If they let him help retrieve the children as well, where would their Giant Tribe's pride go?

"Haha, I never said I was going to take action."

Sitting on the ground shirtless, Mongge laughed heartily.

"But you can't deny, Harald, that if you pursue them too fiercely, there's a possibility those 'thieves' might lash out in desperation, right?"

"So you have a solution?"

"Of course, I do."

Mongge smiled and produced a Fruit from behind him. Upon seeing the Fruit, Harald's expression stiffened, and he blurted out.

"A Devil Fruit?"

"That's right, and it's a Paramecia-type Mini Fruit. It can not only make you giants the size of ordinary people, but even smaller. What do you think? It's quite suitable for you giants, isn't it?"

This was a system reward Mongge discovered after his battle with Rona. It wasn't a reward for fighting Rona, but for dealing with CP0.

[Marine Era 1460, December 7th. You, who have been staying in the Giant Kingdom for half a year, have gradually mastered the use of Haki. However, good times do not last. You accidentally discovered several CP organization members who had sneaked into Elbaf and realized they were CP0, the shield of the Celestial Dragons.

As the world's strongest intelligence agency, every member of CP0 has the strength to defeat a thousand, easily defeating an adult giant.

With your recently acquired Haki, you have absolutely no chance of winning.]

[Mission: Awaken the giants and assist them in repelling the CP organization members. (Completed)]

[Mission Reward: Paramecia · Mini Fruit.]

Mongge hadn't expected that he'd only killed one CP0, hadn't participated in the subsequent fighting at all, and the remaining CP0s had still run away.

Yet, after the mission settlement, he was actually counted as having completed it?

And the Marine Admiral, who was clearly more dangerous, not only didn't trigger a mission from the system, but it also taunted him heavily after he repelled Rona.

[On December 7th, Marine Era 1480, you, who are wicked and commit all evils, beat up a retired old lady. The old lady vowed that she would definitely find someone to help her get her revenge.]

Now Mongge understood why the system didn't trigger a mission.

In the system's eyes, Rona wasn't a threat at all.

However, after interacting with the system for over half a year, Mongge had gotten used to its idiotic level. If he could just swap the system reward for repelling a CP0 with one for repelling a Marine Admiral, wouldn't that be more reasonable?

For the Giant Tribe, the Paramecia-type Mini Fruit was definitely one of the most practical fruits. Aside from the drawback of being unable to swim, the Mini Fruit could perfectly leverage the Giant Tribe's advantage of great strength while circumventing their disadvantage of large size.

Seeing the Devil Fruit in Mongge's hand, Harald fell silent for a long time before reaching out.

"Thanks, our Giant Tribe will remember..."

"Wait!"

Seeing Harald reach out, Mongge quickly retracted the hand holding the fruit.

"Who said this fruit was for you?"

"Then you..."

"This fruit, of course, is for my most important crewmate!"

Mongge glared at Harald and then placed the Mini Fruit into Lipri's hand.

"Although Lipri is my crewmate, she is also a part of your Elbaf. Having Lipri help rescue those two little guys shouldn't be a problem, right?"

The three CP0s who infiltrated the Giant Village were not weak, but after continuous pursuit, being chased by the giants, and fleeing for half a day, they had also fought with several giants and sustained serious injuries.

Their strength now couldn't even reach half of their usual level.

If Lipri, who had eaten the Mini Fruit, were to sneak in and catch them off guard, she would have a complete opportunity to deal with the three CP0s without harming the two children.

And this was also an opportunity for Mongge to train Lipri.

Lipri, who had always lived in Elbaf, had received training from the giants, but lacked real combat experience.

What Mongge wanted was a comrade who could fight alongside him, not a hothouse flower that needed him to worry about everything.

"Lipri, can you do it?"

Looking at the fruit in Mongge's hand and feeling his trust in her, Lipri nodded heavily.

"Yes!"

"I will definitely bring Geruz and Healding back safely!"
