Over the next period of time, Gaban led Lin Yuan and his group around the Sun World, and he was particularly proactive after obtaining the Devil Fruit Giant Axe.
After Gaban's explanation, they learned that Elbaf is divided into three realms: the Heaven World, the Sun World, and the Underworld. The Heaven World are the top of the Treasure Tree Adam, while the Sun World consists of Island Cloud, Sea Cloud, and branches of the Treasure Tree Adam.
As for the Underworld, it is located at the lowest level of Elbaf, composed of countless snow-capped mountains and frozen soil. It is where some criminal giants are imprisoned, as well as many giant beasts known as "mountain lords".
"Heh, I didn't expect you to have flown here, arriving directly in the Sun World. The Grand Elder even sent someone to guide you in the Underworld. Those explorers and pirates all believe that the Underworld is Elbaf."
Lin Yuan made a special trip to visit the " Owl Library " and the " Walrus School," where he met the former Giant Vice Admiral, Saul.
They had both heard of each other back in Ohara, but when Saul learned that the brother Robin had once spoken of had become the world's strongest, he was utterly shocked.
To repay Saul for taking care of Robin, Lin Yuan left behind a considerable amount of Beli and a Devil Fruit, thus settling this karmic debt.
Saul wanted to refuse, but Lin Yuan insisted, so he accepted the huge sum of money.
After saying goodbye to Saul, Lin Yuan found Lot Linlin, who was sitting in the Sheep's House with a look of reminiscence on her face.
Lin Yuan had read many people's speculations about Lot Linlin in his previous life, believing that she also had two souls in her body, one of which was the former Sister Carmel.
Lin Yuan asked Redfield if he could probe Lot Linlin's soul, but he found nothing.
Seeing Charlotte Linlin in this state, Lin Yuan simply asked what he was thinking.
" Lot Linlin, what is your true identity? Lot Linlin, or Sister Carmel?"
At this moment, a glint flashed in Redfield's eyes as he stood beside Lin Yuan. As for Lin Yuan, although he was curious, if the other party was Carmel, he would kill him immediately.
This was not only because the other party had been a human trafficker, but also a spy for the World Government. Lin Yuan hadn't thought about this issue before, but he realized it after arriving here.
Upon hearing Sister Carmel's name again, Lot Linlin's face suddenly froze, and her eyes turned red.
"Mamamama, I never expected to hear the nun's name again, but I'm not her!"
A hint of doubt appeared on Lin Yuan's face as he prepared to listen further.
"Mamamama, you might not believe it, but I killed the nun with my own hands, smashing her into a pulp with my own fists."
"Over the years, she's the only person who's ever been kind to me, and she almost killed me. She actually wanted to devour my soul. Isn't that ridiculous?"
A look of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes; they hadn't expected her to have this experience.
"Mamamama, she was just too old and underestimated my strength, so she died. The funny thing is, her Devil Fruit has been reborn in front of me."
"And all along, I've been living in my own dream, thinking only the nun is good, but nobody knows that she has no conscience at all, and she betrayed all my friends."
Seeing that Lot Linlin was somewhat agitated, Lin Yuan looked at Redfield beside him.
Redfield's Observation Haki allows him to see into people's hearts and easily discern whether someone is lying.
Redfield smiled and nodded, which put Lin Yuan at ease. Thinking about it, it made sense; if Lot Linlin were the nun's soul, then Lin Yuan's strength would have been exposed long ago.
"Hehe, let's go. You should also control your emotions, otherwise your Hunger Pangs might flare up."
"Hmph, I will. Those old bastards really know how to hit hard!"
Lot Linlin suppressed her emotions. She still remembered how those old men had used their fists to bring her back to her senses after her Hunger Pangs flared up.
In other words, she has skin of copper and bones of iron, with amazing defensive capabilities; anyone else would have been killed long ago.
"Lord Lin Yuan, how about we go to the tavern? The proprietress Mado, is a friend of mine; her food and drinks are quite good."
Gaban, carrying a large axe, cheerfully extended the invitation.
Lin Yuan didn't refuse; they could continue exploring for the next few days.
The others naturally had no objections. After wandering around for most of the day, they were also eager to continue drinking. As for resting, with their strength, going two or three days without sleep was a piece of cake.
Soon, led by Gaban, the group arrived at a tavern on the beach of Elbaf, where a female Titan saw Gaban and immediately greeted him warmly.
" Gaban, where's Ripley? Oh, are these all your friends?"
"Haha, Mado, these are all my friends. I'm going to have a banquet with them, so I'll prepare some specialty dishes."
Mado nodded gently, said nothing, and went about her business.
This wasn't as formal as the banquets hosted by the Grand Elder, so everyone was much more relaxed.
Gaban looked at these powerful figures who had dominated their respective regions gathered together, and couldn't help but stroke his giant axe, still feeling a sense of disbelief.
Whitebeard Newgate and Zephyr had their arms around each other's shoulders, Golden Lion Shiki and Lot Linlin chatted and laughed, Gaban smiled, and then pulled Bullet to join in a drinking contest.
Just as everyone was enjoying their drinks, a violent explosion suddenly rang out. Although it was far away, it could still be felt.
"Hmm, what happened?"
Everyone snapped back to reality and immediately activated their Observation Haki to investigate.
As for Mado, who had been gentle just moments before, his expression had turned serious, and he had drawn a greatsword.
Lin Yuan frowned. He was surprised to discover that many giants had joined forces with some pirates to attack the Sun World, and were already engaged in battle with the giants.
What surprised him even more was that the Giant Kingdom did not have a dedicated army or guard; almost everyone was a warrior, and a rather strong one at that.
Didn't you see that the seemingly gentle landlady Mado, is now armed with a sword and ready to fight?
" Gaban, can you get in touch with Ripley and ask what happened?"
Meanwhile, Gaban had already taken out his Den Den Mushi and made a call; the place was far too far from where Ripley was.
Lin Yuan glanced around and found that Ripley was alright, but he didn't say anything.
"Honey, where are you now? Loki somehow escaped from prison and is attacking the Sun World. Be careful, almost the entire Underworld is in chaos."
"Yeah, don't worry, Ripley. Don't you know how strong I am? You be careful too. Send that kid Colon home, and I'll be there right away."
"Oh, I almost forgot, and your friends too. The Grand Elder asked me to tell them that we were not very hospitable this time, and he must have been embarrassed by our behavior."
The two chatted for a couple more minutes before hanging up, but Lin Yuan noticed that Gaban didn't seem too anxious.
" Gaban, why don't you go back and take a look first? We'll go see the giants' war too."
Lin Yuan offered a reminder, but Gaban responded with a smile.
"It's alright, Ripley is no pushover. If we don't use weapons, I doubt we'd be a match for her."
The proprietress, Mado, standing nearby, also smiled and said, "That's right, Sister Ripley is the strongest female Giant Race."
Lin Yuan and the others were not surprised. With their strength, they could naturally sense Ripley's power, and the reason they were accompanying Lin Yuan was not because of her identity.
"Alright, let's go watch the battle between the giants together. What a coincidence!"
