In fact, defeating those Giants was nothing worth praising as far as Adrian was concerned.
Vidar's comparison, on the other hand, was rather interesting.
It was full of... Elbaf's spirit.
Treasure Tree Adam had to be the most sacred and revered thing in Elbaf!
Vidar asked again, "Mighty warrior! May we know your name?"
Adrian rubbed his chin.
"I'm Adrian. Though you might be more familiar with the name White Ghost."
"White Ghost?"
Vidar's eyes widened. He stared at Adrian in disbelief, repeating the name.
"You... you're White Ghost?!"
Vidar's shout carried far across the beach.
The other Giants, who had been lying flat on the sand, scrambled to their feet despite the pain in their chests and bellies and looked over.
Adrian regarded Vidar with mild surprise. Why had the Giant suddenly become so respectful?
It was as though his faction favorability had jumped from [Respect] to [Reverence].
Vidar's next words answered Adrian's question.
"The White Ghost who killed Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin?!"
So that was it!
Adrian understood.
Years ago, Charlotte Linlin had accidentally killed the Giant hero Waterfall Beard Yoruru in Elbaf. Giants the world over had hated Big Mom ever since.
Apparently, killing Big Mom had earned Adrian a good deal of favor with the Giants too!
"One correction: I only killed Charlotte Linlin once."
Adrian nodded lightly.
"You may not know this, but after I left Totto Land, Charlotte Linlin came back to life. Red-Haired Shanks and Katakuri joined forces to kill her again."
"We know about that too! Shanks is a good friend of the Giants! Haha!"
Vidar laughed heartily.
"He made it from Elbaf to Totto Land so quickly with the help of Ada— Ahem!"
The Giant coughed twice, cutting himself off.
A curious look flashed through Adrian's eyes. Judging by that slip,
