The clown is actually me?

"Cheating, you're cheating!"

Because Magnus's reminder caused Haierdin to lose the match, the old giant Yoruru was so angry his face turned red and his neck swelled, nearly stepping forward to duel Magnus himself.

"Hahahaha, I just told Rocks not to hold back. Isn't going all out the greatest respect for an opponent?"

Magnus 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.

Magnus had no doubt about that.

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

The young giant pouted, gritted his teeth, and looked on the verge of tears.

"Don't be discouraged, Haierdin."

Yoruru patted Haierdin's shoulder and comforted him, "You're still very young. When you grow up, you'll become countless times stronger than you are now."

"Yeah!"

Haierdin nodded heavily.

"How about it?"

Rocks walked up to Magnus. "Are you going to teach me the Six Powers now?"

Over two months of interaction, Rocks had learned a lot from Magnus.

This included knowledge about the "Six Powers."

The rapid "Moonwalk" achieved by continuously stomping on the ground in a short period.

The "Iron Body" that accelerates blood flow, making the body as hard as steel.

The "Paper Arts" that allow for free control of the body.

The "Moonwalk" that allows one to walk on air.

And the kicking technique "Tempest Kick" that compresses air to form slashing attacks, and the "Finger Pistol" that concentrates power into the fingers to attack enemies like bullets.

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

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

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

In fact, most giants couldn't learn Haki.

Their massive size granted them immense strength, but it also increased the difficulty of developing their potential. For one thing, 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 Haierdin, Yoruru stroked his bushy beard and walked over.

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

However, if Ripley were to join, the Black Pearl's size would be somewhat inadequate.

Ripley alone was twenty meters tall. On a regular pirate ship, if she lay down on the deck, there wouldn't be any space left.

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

Magnus thought of the cargo ships he had seen in his past life.

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

The current problem was.

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

His pirate crew was still too small.

Magnus glanced at Charlotte Linlin. Although she was a future Four Emperor, she was currently just a five-year-old girl who couldn't resist 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 happy smile.

"Grandpa Magnus, do you want some?"

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

"Then I won't be polite."

Magnus chuckled. Charlotte Linlin was in her most innocent and pure age now, a world away from the cruel and ruthless pirate emperor she would become.

[Charlotte Linlin favorability -10.]

[Current favorability: 30 (Friendly)

Charlotte Linlin: Even though the old man ate my cake, he's probably a good person, right?]

The smile on Magnus's face froze instantly.

I just ate one piece of your cake, and you were only being polite?

"The clown is me after all?"

Magnus sighed. Although Charlotte Linlin wasn't as cruel as she would become later, hoarding food was unacceptable.

"Linlin, do you know about ice cream?"

"Ice cream?"

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

Magnus crushed a biscuit into a cylindrical shape. The power of his Mythical Zoan granted him the ability to quickly condense a large mass of crushed ice onto the cylinder.

Combining cake and crushed ice, a simple ice cream was made.

Elbaf's June was scorching hot.

This era was not like the one in Magnus's memory, where every household had air conditioning.

Under these circumstances, the appeal of ice cream became immense.

"Linlin, do you want some?"

"Yes!"

The chubby little girl nodded vigorously.

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

Magnus replicated the process, making a large quantity of ice cream.

Conveniently, the Giants had finished dinner and could have some dessert.

"So cold!"

A young Giant girl took a portion of ice cream from Linlin. After cautiously taking a 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."

Magnus said with a smile.

This was because he saw Charlotte Linlin's face also showing a happy expression after eating the ice cream.

"This is delicious!"

"Grandpa Magnus, 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, Magnus knew that spoiling a child was harming them.

Magnus didn't want Charlotte Linlin to repeat the mistakes of her past life in another world.

He would refuse when necessary.

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

One night passed quickly.

Since his cellular activity had increased, Magnus's sleep had become even more stable.

He woke up feeling refreshed and energized.

At the same time, the old Giant Yaruru brought him some news.

"Kid Magnus, come with me to Orsto Castle."

"His Majesty wants to see you."
