I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

On the edge of Elbaf Island, far away from the giants' territory, is a human village.

The architectural style here is completely different from that of the giants and Vikings. Every detail reveals the delicacy of human life.

In a tavern in the village, dim lights filled every corner. A man with green algae hair was sitting opposite a middle-aged man with silver hair, drinking.

"Haha, that's refreshing! I've been keeping an eye on the coast these past two days, and no human ships have approached. So, are you the only one who made it to Elbaf?"

The green algae-haired man blurted out: "Well... sort of. Robin, Nami, Tashigi, and Yamato are all still on the ship."

Jabba was stunned, obviously not hearing the person he wanted to meet: "Hmm? Where's the Straw Hat kid?"

"Oh, Luffy and the others should still be sleeping in the giant's castle."

"castle?"

"Well, it seems like it encountered some foggy area, and then was caught by a crow and brought to the island." The green algae head nodded.

"Crow...it should be that kid Rod. Speaking of which, he's the navigator of the New Giant Pirates." Jabba seemed to be thinking about something. Then he looked at the algae-haired guy with a strange expression: "So, why did you abandon your sleeping companions and run off to the giant village by yourself?"

"Hey, everything has been arranged before leaving. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot something important. Do you know where the key to Loki's chain is?" The green algae-headed man suddenly remembered something.

Jabba frowned. "Have you seen that guy?"

"Hey, he asked me to let him go. Come to think of it, I have some relationship with him, so I decided to help him." The green algae-head grinned.

Jabba was stunned. "That's a rascal. If we let him out, he'll turn the whole giant race upside down."

"Huh? How do you get along?" The guy with the green algae hair was also very curious about his brother-in-law.

"I heard that six years ago, he killed his father, the Giant King Harald, for the Devil Fruit that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Giant tribe. He was called the Cursed Prince, and it was all the warriors of the entire Giant tribe who imprisoned him there."

"Eh? Patricide?" The green-haired guy widened his eyes. This shouldn't be the case. How could someone who likes Lola have any bad intentions?

"Well, that's what I heard." Jabba nodded.

The green algae-haired man frowned. "Tsk, Lao Jia, it's not that I don't trust you. I've already promised him. It's not enough to just listen to you. I have to investigate this matter. He doesn't look like a bad guy."

"Haha, kids these days are really getting more and more disrespectful. If you want to check, go ahead and do it yourself. As for the key, I don't know where it is. But I have to remind you that ever since Sister Carmelo left Elbaf 63 years ago, the Giant Village has been very wary of strangers entering. Even Shanks wouldn't easily set foot there without Brocky and the others."

The green algae-head was surprised again: "Huh? This is completely different from what I imagined. I thought the giants would be as hospitable as Dongli and Brocky."

"It was like this. 100 years ago, the Giants were keen on plundering overseas resources, which led to the creation of the then-world-famous Giant Pirates. Later, as you know, Toori and Broly stayed in the small garden to duel. Some members of the Giant Pirates, who had lost their leader, were captured one by one by the navy. When the navy was about to execute them, it was the nun who came forward to save them."

The green algae-head remembered something when he heard this: "I seem to have heard about this matter. This person seems to be a human trafficker."

Jabba was also stunned. "Huh? Where did you hear that? She's been here much longer than us. Rumor has it that she has a mysterious background, and even the navy has to give her face."

"Um...this...I heard it from Big Mom." The green-haired man decisively put the blame on his stupid mother-in-law.

"Lingling?... That might be true. She is Lingling's adoptive mother." Jaba believed it.

"What happened next?" The green algae-headed man was cracking melon seeds.

"Later, a nun moved here with a group of children and made a suggestion to the giants - rather than plundering, it would be better to trade. I heard that the giants were quite friendly to humans during that period, so she also adopted Lingling here."

"Hmm... I know about that. I heard it was the Giants' Winter Festival. To express gratitude to the sun, Elbaf sealed away their food and starved the people for 14 days. So Big Mom's anorexia flared up, destroying the village of Elbaf and injuring the elderly captain of the Giant Pirates. The nun had no choice but to take her and the other children away from Elbaf. That's when Big Mom and the Giants started having a grudge."

Jabba said with a hint of doubt: "Did Lingling tell you this too?"

"Yeah!" The green-haired man said confidently, "Haven't you seen our wanted poster? Our new recruit, Charlotte Garrett, is my wife!"

Jabba was stunned for a while. "You can even kidnap Lingling's daughter. You are really good."

"That's not true. So what you're saying is that after that, the giants started to be hostile to humans? Not really, it was just Big Mom's fault."

"Perhaps it's also because of the nun. Anyway, from then on, they became very wary of strangers who rashly entered the Giant Village. However, when Harald was still alive, he and the old Giant Pirates captain, Alulu, tried their best to mediate the relationship between the two races. In the past six years, more and more Giants have harbored ill will towards humans, and Alulu is old after all."

"Oh? By the way, after the old king passed away, Loki, the prince, was imprisoned. Who is now in charge of the giants?"

"For now, it's the old king's younger brother, Utter. Although Helding is the old king's adopted son, he is still too young and needs experience. Utter thinks he should first meet the blood-stained snake. Once he has the experience to lead the giants, he will return the throne to him."

The green algae-headed man was stunned: "Huh? Hailding is the old king's adopted son?"

"Well, I heard he's a few years older than Loki."

The green algae-haired man seemed to be thinking about something, then he put on a playful smile again: "Old Jia, do you have a piece of red historical text in your hand?"

Jabba said with a hint of smile in his eyes: "Finally, you can't help but ask about the whereabouts of the Final Island? But, sorry, I can't tell you the information on the signpost for now. I still need to meet the Straw Hat Kid to see if he is the one Joyboy is waiting for."

Hearing this, the green-haired man took a sip of his wine and shook his head helplessly. "Although I don't really want to hear what that great secret treasure is from you, didn't Roger gamble his life on it, just to wait for someone in this era to stand out and obtain that great secret treasure and turn his world upside down? How come you're so sure that person must be the one Joy Boy is waiting for? And why does it have to have a D in the name? In the end, it's still about bloodline."

Jabba looked out the window at the distant sky: "D is not inherited by blood. If you inherit his will, you can also be D."

"Huh? What will?" The green algae head looked confused.

"Hey, we're not far from the final island. Don't you want to go see it for yourself?"

"Tsk, I'm just a little curious about why you're so obsessed with this. In my opinion, a person's career and character have nothing to do with their name." The algae-haired man shook his head and stood up. "It's almost time. I should go explore the Giant Tribe again."

……

On the other side, in the Giant's Castle, thick smoke billowed out with a scream.

In a compact yet spacious giant room, a tall and thin giant, emitting the smell of burnt hair, looked miserable, and a giant snake and a crow were lying on the ground.

"You unforgivable living puppets, how dare you attack God! And even hurt my beloved ones... my servants~~!!"

He roared as he chased into the Lego world, chasing the cat with the little people sitting on its back.

On the cat's back, Enel was tied up several times by Luffy's rubber hands, and his face was full of anger: "Hey! Rubber monkey, why are we running away again!?"

Luffy responded as a matter of course: "We ate his rabbit and injured his pet, so of course we had to escape."

"That guy is not strong at all!" Enel was very unhappy.

"Forget it, he didn't hurt us. It's our fault, hehe." Luffy showed his big white teeth: "Fly! Big cat! It's not easy for that guy to build these. Let's try not to let anyone damage them when we escape!"

"According to the design drawing on the table, there is also a mirror behind the big tree. We just need to run straight forward and then smash the mirror." Franky pointed straight ahead.

"Okay! Then just charge straight ahead, big cat!"
