A familiar voice rang out, and everyone's faces lit up with joy as they all looked in the direction from which the voice came.
As everyone expected, Xia Chen had already appeared there at some point, looking at them with a faint smile in his eyes.
Xia Chen! You're here!!
A hint of joy appeared in Luffy's eyes. He opened his arms and ran towards Xia Chen, seemingly preparing to give Xia Chen a big hug.
However, Xia Chen was not too keen on hugging him and dodged his movement with a quick movement.
What kind of behavior is it for two grown men to hug each other in broad daylight?
Luffy also pouted when he failed to hug Xia Chen. He was so enthusiastic, but Xia Chen reciprocated his enthusiasm in this way.
But Luffy quickly put all that aside, put on a happy expression again, and enthusiastically told Xia Chen about all the interesting things they had seen and heard in Elbaf.
Xia Chen listened quietly, occasionally chiming in with a few words, his emotional responses were perfectly timed.
After a while, Xia Chen looked at everyone and asked curiously:
Where's Robin? Where did she go?
"Oh, her! She's still basking in the excitement that Saul isn't dead, chatting with Saul in the Owl Library!"
Usopp answered.
Oh, I see!
Xia Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.
But the thought of Saul living in Elbaf now makes him chuckle.
After all, Saul, who was born in the South Sea, initially described the giants of Elbaf as a barbaric race.
Now he himself has become a member of a barbaric people.
Wouldn't you call this a classic case of being slapped in the face?
Suddenly, after talking for a while longer, Dorry stood up, his massive body rising to his feet. Looking at everyone, he smiled and said:
"Let's go! I'll show you around Elbaf!"
"Let's not talk about Xia Chen yet; he's just arrived and hasn't even seen anything!"
"Actually, even Luffy and the others have seen before is only a small part of Elbaf! There are many interesting things you haven't seen yet!"
"Oh ho!"
"Really? There are even more interesting places?!"
(☆▽☆)!!
Upon hearing this, the three inexperienced individuals immediately showed excitement, their eyes turning into stars.
Then the three of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and started dancing on the spot.
"Interesting place! Interesting place!..."
Seeing this familiar scene, Xia Chen couldn't help but chuckle, as it reminded him of when he first met Luffy and his crew.
Back then, they...
That's really interesting!
"Hello!"
" Xia Chen! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and move!"
Suddenly, Luffy and his crew's voices interrupted Xia Chen's reminiscence, pulling him back to reality.
Looking at the crowd that had already walked more than ten meters away, Xia Chen smiled and said:
"Okay! Here it comes!"
Having said that, he walked towards the crowd.
Soon, the group arrived at their first destination: the Warrior's Spring!
Gazing at the magnificent sight before them, everyone couldn't help but gape slightly.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Dorry also revealed a hint of pride, pointing to the Warrior's Spring and introducing it:
" Warrior's Spring is a sandy beach formed by the fossilization and weathering of part of the Treasure Tree Adam. The waterfall at its source creates waves, and it is also a playground for the giant children!"
Looking around, one could indeed see many giant children playing everywhere, each with an innocent smile on their face.
However, although these giant children are called children, they are probably older than Xia Chen and the others.
After all, giants live much longer than ordinary humans, and their childhood and other age stages are naturally different from those of ordinary humans.
Xia Chen looked up and saw the enormous trunk of the Treasure Tree Adam behind him, so huge it blotted out the sky!
To be fair, this is one of the largest trees Xia Chen has ever seen.
It's comparable to the Sun Tree on Fish-Man Island!
Suddenly, Luffy seemed to see something, his eyes lighting up with excitement. He quickly pointed to that spot and asked Dorry:
"Uncle Dorry! What's that place with all those swings and houses hanging from the trees?"
"This looks like so much fun!"
Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but turn their gazes in that direction.
Sure enough, a large building was constructed around some of Adam's torso, and various houses were hanging from the trees around the large building.
In addition, there are many huge swings also hanging on the trees.
"Oh~"
"That's Walrus School!"
"It's a school that Saul founded twenty years ago at the king's request!"
Dorry explained to everyone.
"Um?!"
"This was actually founded by Saul? Looks like he's doing pretty well since escaping from Ohara!"
Sanji said, somewhat surprised.
Suddenly, he seemed to see something; his eyes froze instantly, his gaze fixed in that direction, unable to look away even a fraction!
