"Adam?"
Hearing Kouta's words, Sauro walked forward, looking back at Kouta and chuckled, "Mr. Kouta also knows the Adam Tree."
"No, I don't," Kouta shook his head, pulled down the gourd from his waist, and took a big gulp.
"You don't know, so how do you know it's the Adam Tree?"
Sauro looked at him with suspicion.
"Only two trees in this world can grow to this extent."
Kouta didn't say anything, but Robin, who was beside him, tidied her hair and looked at the giant tree. She said, "One is the Eve Tree on the Red Line Continent. There are no bubbles here like on the Sabaody Archipelago, nor are there such roots, so it cannot be the Eve Tree. Therefore, this one here can only be the legendary Adam Tree."
Speaking of which, Robin tilted her head and smiled faintly at Kouta, "Am I right?"
"Mmm!" Kouta nodded, "That's what I thought too."
Hearing Robin say this, Sauro could only nod, admitting that her guess was correct.
"The tree in the middle of the island is indeed the Adam Tree. This tree has been like this since I was born."
Turning his head, Sauro walked on, looking up at the giant tree and sighed, "Elbaf has experienced wars. Whether from documents or from the ruins left on the island, we know that it was impossible for it to be as peaceful as it is now a long time ago. But no matter how the situation changed, this giant tree has always stood tall and straight."
"By the way, Sauro."
As if remembering something, Kouta's gaze swept past the giant tree and landed on the huge black shadow hidden at the horizon behind Elbaf, which could only be vaguely seen.
"What is it?"
Sauro turned his head to look at Kouta.
"From a distance, that also looks like a giant tree. To be able to see a black shadow from such a far distance means that tree is much larger than the one on the island."
"That one?"
Turning his head, Sauro's gaze followed Kouta's pointing finger.
"Actually, that is indeed a tree, a tree growing in the West Blue. It's also an Adam Tree."
"West Blue??"
Upon hearing Sauro's words, everyone looked at the black shadow hidden in the clouds, connecting the sky and the earth, with some surprise.
They knew that the West Blue was separated from here by the Calm Belt!
At such a distance, they could still see such a massive black shadow.
They couldn't imagine how big this tree actually was.
"Yes!" Sauro nodded, "It's the West Blue."
"Have you ever heard of the Pinnacle of the West Sky?"
"Pinnacle of the West Sky?"
Kouta touched his chin and pondered slightly.
If he remembered correctly, the spring-spring fruit user went to the Skypiea through this Pinnacle of the West Sky, proving that Luffy's dream was not just a dream, but reality.
If the Pinnacle of the West Sky was actually the Adam Tree, it would make sense.
The island of war that Franky mentioned might be this Pinnacle of the West Sky.
Elbaf is the base of the giants, and it would be impossible for wood from the Adam Tree to be transported from here. If it were this war island in the West Blue, it would be much easier.
"I have heard of it, it seems to lead directly to Skypiea!"
Putting down his hand, Kouta nodded.
"Mmm! It does lead directly to Skypiea," Sauro turned his head, looked at the black shadow again, and chuckled, "And the black shadow we are seeing now is the legendary Pinnacle of the West Sky."
Kouta let out an "Oh" and continued to ponder.
At this moment, for some reason, he suddenly thought of Joy Boy.
If he remembered correctly, the giants of Elbaf greatly worshipped the sun.
From the known clues, Kouta could tell that the war 800 years ago was a war between the giants and humans. Kouta was already very sure of this.
And the nun also seemed to have said that if someone killed Elbaf and became a pirate warrior, the giants of Elbaf would surely form an army again and take revenge on humanity.
The revenge here was not a single act of retaliation, but forming an army again.
From this, it could be seen that a war between giants and humans must have occurred.
Coupled with the giant straw hat belonging to Joy Boy, which only giants could wear, in Mary Geoise, and the fact that Elbaf worshipped the sun.
Therefore, he believed that Joy Boy was a giant, perhaps even the god of giants of that era.
Besides ancient Elbaf, another god.
Then the current royal family should be the Elbaf Giant Kingdom, the descendants of Joy Boy.
"God? Sun God?"
Thinking of this, Kouta raised his head and looked at the giant tree in the center of the island, a red light flashing in his eyes.
With his powerful spirit, Observation Haki instantly reached the giant tree.
"Mmm!"
"No aura?"
At this moment, Kouta was somewhat surprised.
Because he didn't feel any aura under the giant tree.
The island was vast, and with his current Observation Haki, he couldn't cover it all.
But no matter how he thought about it, the royal city where the royal family of Elbaf resided should be the closest to the Adam Tree!
Yet, at this moment, he couldn't sense any aura under the giant tree.
This was a bit strange.
"Right, the sun."
Squinting his eyes, Kouta tilted his head up, his gaze following the trunk of the Adam Tree towards the black cross-shaped crown hidden in the clouds.
"In the sky..."
"Yes, it's in the sky."
If the great kingdom of 800 years ago lived on the Red Line Continent, they were actually quite accustomed to living at high altitudes. Even if they were defeated by humans and driven down from the Red Line Continent, they would find a place similar to their original one to live.
"Skypiea, 'God'."
At this moment, Kouta thought a lot. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be a Skypiea above the crown of this Adam Tree, and the royal city of Elbaf would be built on Skypiea.
This was also why the giants on Elbaf were so lax.
Because they were too far from the true center of power of the Giant Kingdom.
Therefore, the giant villages on Elbaf were basically self-governing. Only when large-scale disputes or wars occurred would this race, led by the royal family, unite and unleash astonishing power.
Kouta did not ask Sauro about these speculations.
Sauro was an ordinary giant, and these matters were clearly only known to the royal family. Asking him would be futile.
As for whether his guesses were true, since they were already in Elbaf, he could go up and take a look when he had time.
He believed there would be very interesting discoveries and scenery above.
Skypiea, which he hadn't seen in a long time, was still worth adventuring for.
Thus, Kouta and his group followed Sauro and Morro to their village. Along the way, they saw other giants.
Some of these giants were fierce, while others were very gentle. Kouta could see that they seemed to come from two different villages.
And the place they were going to confirmed his guess.
Another village, different from the warrior village, that was clearly much gentler towards humans.
