Watching Sauron, who had received the news, hurry out of the wooden house.
Moro pursed his lips.
"What's the matter! You look just like me, don't you?"
Of course, he only dared to mutter these words in his heart and did not dare to say them in front of Sauron.
After all, although Sauron had a gentle personality and was very good to him, he was also his only relative in this world, his maternal uncle.
This was another giant kingdom village not far from the warrior village.
If the giants among the giant race were more inclined to be free and unrestrained pirates, the giants in this village were much gentler.
And this was also a major village for the Navy to recruit soldiers.
Moro still remembered the scene about twenty years ago when his uncle, with severe burns and frostbite, returned to Elbaf.
He didn't know what happened twenty years ago, what made his powerful uncle so badly injured, and what made his uncle, regardless of his injuries, insist on leading the villagers to sea to bring these books back to Elbaf.
He knew none of this, and he had asked many times, but his uncle always replied that he would naturally know when the time came.
"And now..."
Looking at Sauron's receding back, a hint of ferocity flashed in the depths of Moro's eyes, a ferocity that was hard for others to detect.
His uncle was his only relative in this world, and it was his uncle who brought him here and raised him after his mother and father died.
Therefore, he would not allow anyone to harm his uncle.
He didn't know before, but he should know now!
There was one thing he hadn't told Sauron: he had awakened his ancestors' bloodline, and he was no longer the person who used to fight with the warrior village and often lost.
"What are you doing? Aren't you coming along?"
Sauron turned his head and urged Moro, who was standing stupidly in place, "Don't you want to know about my experiences when I was in the Navy? Don't you want to know how I got injured? Hurry up and follow me."
Moro said, "Oh."
He lowered his head, hid the ferocity in his eyes, then raised his head, his expression returning to its usual peace, and quickly walked towards Sauron.
As he walked, he said loudly, "Of course I want to know. I've been asking you for so many years, and you haven't said a word. Now that you can see the person you want to see, you should be able to tell me!"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you," Sauron turned around and strode outwards.
It was evident that Robin's arrival had made him very happy.
...
By the sea.
"Is this the Giant Kingdom?"
Alo touched his hair with his right hand and held the handle of the冥狗 (Ming Gou - Underworld Dog) with his left, looking up at the island. "It doesn't look any different!"
Indeed, there was nothing special about it. Apart from the long coastline, it looked similar to any other island.
It was all rocky beaches and trees.
But there were differences.
That is, the trees and rocks here were very large.
And in the center of the island, there was a towering giant tree that pierced the clouds.
The black dot that Kouta first saw in the distance was this giant tree.
Upon arriving at Elbaf, Kouta realized that this giant tree was not the largest. Behind Elbaf, there was another giant tree hidden in the clouds, of which only a silhouette could be seen.
"Treasure Tree Adam!"
The only thing he could think of was the Treasure Tree Adam.
The Sun Tree Eve was on the Red Line. Kouta had never seen it, but judging by its roots that reached ten thousand meters deep into the sea, he could tell how massive the Sun Tree Eve was.
And the Treasure Tree Adam had always been a legend.
It was said that there were only a few of them in the entire world. Since there were a few, it was normal for Elbaf, the end of the Grand Line, to have one.
But what was the one behind Elbaf?
"To the west..."
Standing on the ship, gazing at the black silhouette behind Elbaf, Kouta's eyes were filled with doubt.
"Mhm!"
Just then, Kouta seemed to have discovered something. He withdrew his gaze from the black silhouette and turned his attention to the island.
"I didn't expect friends to come to greet us as soon as we arrived."
Kouta had never seen Sauron, so he didn't recognize the giant who was coming. However, he didn't feel any malice from the approaching figure, so he called them friends.
He didn't know that this was the result of Vegapunk notifying Sauron via a secret Den Den Mushi after they left Egghead Island.
Vegapunk had stayed in Elbaf for a considerable time to study Ohara's books, and Sauron had not stopped him. Over time, the two had become friends.
It couldn't be said that they contacted each other frequently, but they did occasionally.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The loud sound, accompanied by a slight tremor of the ground, attracted everyone's attention.
As time passed, the low footsteps became louder, like a giant beast running.
"Here they come."
As the crowd looked on with curiosity, a huge head surrounded by orange beard appeared first.
And the moment the head appeared, Robin, who was standing next to Kuina,'s pupils suddenly contracted. She then froze for a moment, and her body trembled slightly.
Even though she knew beforehand that Sauron was alive, when she actually saw him, Robin couldn't help but be overcome with emotion.
"Sauron."
With trembling lips, Robin whispered, then bit her lower lip, her eyes misting over.
"Hee hee hee hee hee!!"
Ignoring Kouta and the others, Sauron's gaze fell on Robin the moment he appeared. Now, he had calmed down. Although there was still a blush of excitement on his face, he was no longer flustered.
He climbed over the rocks, his entire body appearing on the beach.
Compared to Sauron's height of over twenty meters, Kouta and the others standing by the Going Merry were like a group of slightly larger ants in front of a giant. Therefore, as soon as Sauron appeared, he instantly blocked everyone's view and also blocked the setting sun that was shining on everyone behind him.
"Long time no see... Little Robin."
Sauron stood beside the Going Merry, looking at Robin with a gentle smile on his face, just like the first time they met.
"Yes! Long time no see, Sauron."
Looking up at Sauron's familiar face and listening to his familiar laughter, Robin loosened her teeth, opened her mouth, and also burst into laughter.
"Hee hee hee hee hee!!"
It was by imitating the laughter of the giant before her that she learned to laugh heartily.
Therefore, Sauron was not only her friend but also a beam of light that shone into her heart, a ray of hope that opened her heart.
Without Sauron, Robin, who had experienced great changes in her life, would never have been able to maintain the light in her heart in the darkness.
Mist gathered and gradually filled her eyes. Although she was laughing, the tears in her eyes broke through the dam of her eye sockets at this moment and dripped down silently.
These were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy, excitement, and the happiness of seeing someone she thought was dead now standing alive before her.
