"Wow! So this is the legendary nd of the giants... Elbaf?"

  Above the surging waves, Toki couldn’t help but widen her eyes as she was carried toward Elbaf by El.

  In the distance, an enormous, aree stretched toward the heavens, its upper reaches shrouded in clouds. Two massive yers of opy loomed overhead, with gigantic waterfalls casg down from the treetops.

  On the sed opy, an expansive "nd" came into view. T mountains dotted the area, alongside numere-scale buildings.

  Outward-fag colossal oended from various points, and an unimaginably enormous sword pierced through the middle of the opy, extending downward.

  The sheer scale of it all left one in awe, sending chills down their spine.

  The se was majestic, a feast for the eyes, and almost overwhelming in its grandeur.

  "Mm, no matter how many times I see it, it’s still as breathtaking."

  El nodded, gazing at the magnifit and a World Tree with a sense of wonder.

  Although he had visited before, the sight of the World Tree never failed to astonish him.

  "Heh heh..."

  Ign the enormous fish in the sea beler than even most ships, El fpped his wings and headed toward Elbaf.

  Desding to the first yer of the vilge, they nded amidst the lively settlement.

  "El!"

  "You’re here again!"

  "We heard your Fallen Angel Pirates had a fight with the Wover?"

  "Hajrudin’s bounty has reached two hundred million berries now!"

  "Well done!"

  The arriving El was met with surprise ahusiasm by the giants.

  In particur, the warriors of the Giant Warrior Pirates, including Oimo, Kashii, and others, approached him eagerly.

  "So these are giants? They’re enormous..."

  Toki, cradled in El’s arms, stared wide-eyed, brimming with shod curiosity.

  It was her first time seeing giants, let alone so many of them at once.

  "El, thank you fing news of Chief Dorry and Chief Brogy..."

  Kashii crouched down to El’s height, his expression warm as he addressed him.

  "Without you, we’d have been worried sick, and some of us were even preparing to set sail to look for them!"

  "To think they’re still dueling... It’s truly incredible," Oimo added with a wry smile. "It’s been decades, ahere’s still no victor!"

  Of course, regardless of who won, none of them wanted anything bad to happen to the two chiefs.

  While the honor of Elbaf warriors demahat no oerfere with their duel, knowing that both the "Blue Ogre" and "Red Ogre" were safe was a relief to all.

  "It was nothing. In fact, I should be thanking them for training table subordinates for me."

  El gently set Toki down and responded with a smile.

  Then, under her incredulous gaze—

  "Whoosh—"

  He released his Life Return teique, his body swelling dramatically as he returo his er height, nearly matg the crouched Kashii and the iants.

  "Whoa!"

  At that moment—

  A tall figure ran over and scooped El up with excitement, exg, “Isn’t this El-?”

  “Heh, Tethys, take it easy... hey...” El’s words were cut off as he was overwhelmed by the giant womahusiastic embrace, engulfed in her immense softness.

  She was a t giantess, around 18 meters tall, with a full, voluptuous figure and strikiy. Her overwhelming curves left onlookers i that moment, El was thhly “weled” by her warm hospitality.

  “El-, yetting more and more handsome... Is the Fallen Angel Pirates still recruiting?”

  The blonde giantess wore a wide green robe over denim shorts, her fiery figure both captivating and intimidating.

  Uoki’s wide-eyed, stunned gaze, Tethys hugged El tightly and gave him a hearty kiss, grinning. “Ahahaha, I’d like to join... You don’t mind, do you?”

  “Tethys, you’re too enthusiastic...”

  Oimo ughed heartily. “Don’t scare El off!”

  Tethys squinted mischievously and replied, “What’s wrong with beihusiastic? Especially sihat jealous Gerd-, who keeps guard over him all day, isn’t here!”

  “Hmph, I heard about it, El. You got Gerd pregnant!”

  She teased with a sly smile. “You better watch out for King Harald ing after you!”

  Two t figures strolled over unhurriedly, their impossibly long beards dragging behind them.

  They were her than Mountain Beard Jarul and Waterfall Beard Jorul, two of the elder giants of Elbaf, their presence imposing and venerable.

  Even Toki couldn’t quite believe her eyes.

  “Elders, you’re both looking as healthy as ever,” El greeted with a warm smile.

  Uurbed by their remarks, he responded casually, “Even if King Harald were angry, it wouldn’t matter. He ’t beat me anyway.”

  “Tsk tsk~ There aren’t many who could take you on, you monster by birth!”

  Mountain Beard Jarul stroked his beard, ughing as he looked at El, who was still cradled like a child ihys’s embrace. “That said, young Loki seems determio surpass you someday.”

  El grinned fidently, his voice brimming with certainty. “Let that little rascal train for a few more decades. I’ll be waiting for him ohrone of the world’s stro.”

  “Besides, by the time he gets close, my kids with Gerd will probably be enough to handle him.”

  “Hahaha! fident as ever, aren’t you?”

  Waterfall Beard Jorul chuckled, stroking his beard thoughtfully. “But you’re probably right. With parents like you two, your children are bound to be exceptional.”

  “I think so too, Elders...”

  Tethys chimed in, her boldness unabated.

  Even in the presence of the two elder giants, she showed no signs of restraint. Holding El close, she smiled slyly. “El-, why don’t you let me have a giant baby too?”

  “I’m not worse than that Gerd-!”

  “Quit joking, Tethys...”

  Fpping his wings, El broke free from her embrad nded on the ground.

  “That said, if you’re serious about joining the Fallen Angel Pirates, you’d be more than wele.”

  El’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the mature and stunning giantess. “I was just thinking about recruiting a female giant.”

  pared to Gerd, who was in her early twenties and still somewhat young, Tethys, at 56 years old, was in her prime. Fiantess with a lifespan three times that of a human, she was in her most radiant years.

  Additionally, Tethys was renowned in Elbaf for her unparalleled beekeeping skills. She raised swarms e bees and could and them effortlessly. Even the fierce warriors of Elbaf steered clear of her, having been stung into submission by her bee ies more than once.

  Her abilities made her a perfect didate for the Ripe-Ripe Fruit El had retly acquired.

  “Really? That’s fantastic!”

  Tethys’s face lit up with joy.

  The st time El visited Elbaf to recruit, she had been away on a honey-gathering trip with her bees to nearby isnds. She’d missed the ce to join and had been disappointed ever since.

  Now, her opportunity had finally e.
