Chapter 14: I accidentally stumbled upon the transaction scene between Carmel and Cp0

Leaving Impel Down, After a Month

Elbaf has arrived!

The mysterious kingdom of giants is about to be revealed!

...

...

When Vice Admiral Karl's warship arrived on the shores of Elbaf, the welcoming team of giants was already formed.

There are two teams. One team comes from the warrior village of Elbaf, whose members have rough appearances and shapes, exuding an aura of rebellion and heroism.

The other team comes from the royal capital of Elbaf and represents the royal family. Relatively speaking, they have a kind personality.

The clothing of the members is much cleaner and more elegant than that of the people from the warrior village.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha."

"Merley, Ka, Pu, Lu!"

"Welcome home!"

A familiar laugh was heard. Two familiar giants that Ryuu recognized approached, laughing enthusiastically.

Kashi and Oimo!

They are the two giants who were deceived by the world government in later generations and guarded the gate of Enies Lobby for fifty years.

"Kashi, Oimo."

"Great! You're safe too!"

"Speaking of which, where is the captain? Haven't Captain Dorry and Captain Brogy returned yet?"

The three giants stepped on the land of their hometown, cheering and shouting enthusiastically.

"Leave those two idiots Dorry and Brogy alone!"

A majestic old man roared. He was one of the oldest giants of the time, being over 300 years old, with a long white beard that reached the ground, and the old giant advanced with great strides along with another winged giant.

Duang!

Duang!

Duang!

A huge cane struck the returning giants on the head one by one, and the two oldest giants made their appearance, known as the former captains of the Giant Pirates and two heroes of the giant race.

"To be captured by the marines, you're so useless!"

"We've lost the face of our giant pirate group!"

Jarul and Jorul scolded them.

"We're very sorry!"

The rough giants were like children who had done something wrong and bowed their heads to be punished. Naturally, the warriors from Warrior Village, whose members are mostly pirates, had no topic of conversation with the Marines.

What Vice Admiral Karl really wants to negotiate during this trip is with the gigantic royal family of Elbaf.

Mori and the other four followed Jorul and Jarul to the warrior village, while Rayuu and the marines were taken to the royal capital by the royal family's envoys.

Along the way, because of everything he saw, Ryuu felt the same as the sailors.

All in one word!

That's huge!

The Kingdom of Giants, Elbaf, is not just a gathering of people. Even the trees, rocks, and mountains are much larger than in other places.

 .....

||Half a day later||

A great city appeared before the eyes of Ryuu and the marines. Just the city wall is over a hundred meters high, causing the sailors to be so surprised that their eyes opened wide.

"This city is almost worth ten naval bases!"

Rear Admiral Tia grabbed Ryuu's arm and whispered in shock.

"Yes, yes, Rear Admiral Tia, please let go. I won't run away!"

said Ryuu.

"Yes ~"

Tia, realizing she had been holding Ryuu's forearm in shock, let out a cry.

A few moving red clouds flew over her pretty face.

"You, you, you... don't misunderstand, I, I, I..."

Rear Admiral Tia was like a shy girl who couldn't even speak clearly, and Ryuu looked at her briefly and immediately, his gaze returned to the Giant Capital.

The mysterious giant country is just that, except bigger, it's not very different from other places.

As for the subsequent meeting with the gigantic royal family, he wasn't too interested either.

A difference from now is that he wants to know more about the movements of the trafficker nun.

Under the arrangement of the royal envoy, Ryuu, Karl, and their group stayed in the capital of the Giant King.

To meet with the royal family and discuss the details of cooperation, understanding is necessary. According to Vice Admiral Karl, this process will probably take between a week and half a month.

In this way, it couldn't be better for Ryuu, as he has a lot of free time.

Following Vice Admiral Karl's thoughts, Ryuu, who has nothing to do, should go shopping and play with Rear Admiral Tia.

Unfortunately, Ryuu never follows the rules.

On the third day in the Giant Capital, it seemed that, is Roger lost???

Three days of intelligence gathering, Ryuu learned this from a giant, that Our Lady of Carmel once appeared and was active near the west blue coast of Elbaf.

...

...

The night is quiet, the cool moonlight shines on the sea, and the reflected sea surface sparkled.

Beneath a cliff on the west blue coast of Elbaf, in the Kingdom of Giants.

A merchant ship with the logo of Uranus docked silently in the dark. In the dark cabin, a dim oil lamp flickered and illuminated the four people at the table.

A middle-aged woman who looked to be in her thirties but was actually over forty.

She had put on a good show with the World Government a few months ago to save the Giant Pirates. She was Sister Carmel, who indirectly contributed to the cooperation between the Navy and the giants.

At this moment, Carmel counted the gold coins in front of her with bright eyes, and upon counting to the end, her smile slightly faded from her face.

Holding a cigarette between the index and middle fingers of her right hand, Carmelita looked indifferently at the three masked men in front of her, wrapped in wide white robes.

"Not enough!"

Carmelita said.

"Too much!"

said the man with the evil ghost mask.

"I say less means less!"

Carmelita emphasized her tone a bit.

"Sister Carmel, the quality of this batch of children is average. You should know better and not be too greedy!"

said the masked man.

"What?"

"Did you say the quality of my products is average? Are you blind?"

Carmelita stood up with anger on her face and slammed her hands on the table, causing the two tied-up children in a corner of the cabin to tremble in fear.

"Who do you think helped you negotiate the partnership with the giants? Now you're trying to take advantage of me? Don't even think about it!"

"Carmel, you can't say that!"

"Let's go back to the same code one by one. The matter with the giants is over!"

"Besides, we've already paid you enough!"

said the three men in white robes and masks.

"Hmph."

Sister Carmel sneered twice. She just wanted to continue negotiating.

Suddenly, both she and the three masked men felt something in their hearts. They turned their heads and looked towards the dark corner of the room, their pupils narrowing to the size of pinheads.

I don't know when, but there was an uninvited guest in the corner of the cabin.

"Who are you!"

"When did you come?"

"What is that in your hand?"

"Did you hear our previous conversation?"

The nun Carmelita and the men in white robes and masks shouted in unison, causing Ryuu, in a dark corner of the cabin, to deactivate the Paramecia hidden ability he had acquired six years ago.

He presented himself openly and generously before the four of them. In his palm was a small "body camera" type microphone.

"On April 27 of the Sea Circle Calendar 1429, a group of human traffickers was discovered. You are now under arrest!"
