I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 8 Elbaf!

March 1460 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Elbaf.

This is a giant kingdom located in the latter half of the New World.

If it is an adventurer coming from afar.

When I first arrived at the island of giants, the first thing I saw was the towering tree that seemed to support the heaven and earth.

Treasure Tree Adam!

“So, so big!”

Originally thinking it was just an ordinary big tree, it was not until they sailed for a day and a night and approached their destination that Rocks realized that it was not that the Adam tree was not big, but that they were too far away from the Adam tree.

You’ll only know when you get really close.

Why is it said that the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf is a country built on trees?

"Haha, you must be scared. I was also scared when I first came here."

At present, Rocks is still just a fledgling pirate boy. Whether in vision or strength, he is far from what he will be in the future.

Looking at the towering trees, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Monger's eyes.

The last time I came here was ten years ago.

"Let's go. If we're lucky and a rainbow appears, we can head straight to the giants' village. But if you want to have a drink in the tavern on the coast, I don't mind either, haha."

In this world, there are roughly two types of countries.

Government member states.

and non-governmental member states.

Government member states need to abide by the laws issued by the World Government and obtain the protection of the World Government by paying "Heavenly Gold" to the World Government.

Non-governmental member states are countries that do not pay "sky gold" or cannot afford to pay "sky gold".

In this world where more than 90% of the world's land area is covered by oceans, communication between different countries is entirely through sailing ships. The development of prosperous maritime trade naturally attracted a large number of criminals.

Although Monger considers himself more of an adventurer than a pirate, there is always a deviation between subjective facts and objective facts.

In short, he is now considered one of the criminals in people's eyes.

The natural enemy of these criminals is naturally the navy!
The Navy is an organization under the World Government.

Any country that pays "Heavenly Gold" will be protected by the navy.

So the question is, what about those who have not paid?
These countries will become lawless places and paradises for pirates.

of course there are exceptions.

For example, the land of giants, Elbaf!
Elbaf, the country of giants, is a non-governmental member state and naturally has no navy protection, but its powerful national strength makes ordinary pirates dare not approach it at all.

After all, most pirates are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong.

"Hey, is Balder there?"

After mooring the sailboat on the shore, Munger brought Rocks to a tavern on the coast of Elbaf. The door of the tavern alone was twenty meters high. In comparison, Munger and Rocks, two ordinary people of normal height, looked like dwarfs.

"Balder? Do you mean Dad?"

The voice that responded to Monger was not the rough voice in his memory, but a girl's voice. A girl with a round face, orange eyes, light golden hair, and some freckles on her face pushed open the door.

But when she looked outside, she saw no one.

"Hey, here, here!"

It wasn't until she heard Monger's voice and saw the two little figures waving at her feet that the girl suddenly realized, "Are you from outside?"

The so-called girl is only relative to the giants. In the eyes of Monger and Rocks, the girl in front of them is undoubtedly a giant.

His height alone was over fifteen meters, and when he pushed the door open, the airflow created almost blew both of them away.

Suddenly, Monger seemed to remember something.

"Hey, are you Mado? It's me, your Uncle Munger. Have you forgotten me? If that's the case, I'll be very sad!"

If Monger remembered correctly, the girl in front of him was Mado, the daughter of the tavern owner Balder. When he came here ten years ago, he often came to the tavern to drink, and most of the time he was telling stories to the girl in front of him, a little girl who was only twice his height at the time.

Finally, Maduo seemed to remember something and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Are you Uncle Munger? You look so different, I almost didn't recognize you."

"Hahahaha, people age really fast the moment they let their guard down. If a few years pass, I won't even recognize myself, let alone you."

Hearing what Madoo said, Monge laughed out loud.

There is a very strange phenomenon in this world. People who hold on to their dreams and don't give up will not change much even when they get older.

For those who have lost their dreams or gone astray, their mental outlook will change greatly.

This is what is called appearance is determined by the mind.

Without the system and without hope, even if Monger hadn't died at Farrell's hands, he would probably have become a miserable old man in a few years.

But now, although Munger is still old, his spirit and energy are completely different.

"Uncle Monger, come in quickly. I'll make you a cup of our Elbaf specialty, 'Green Goblin'. I bet you haven't had it in a while, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I just got here, little Mado, do you want me to lie on the ground for two days?"

Monger laughed twice, then pulled Rocks over.

"Let me introduce you to a new crew member I just found. He's still a fresh-faced brat. I guess I'll be staying in Elbaf for a while, so please give me your guidance."

"I'm not some brat!"

"If you can't even master Haki, what are you if not a brat?"

In response to Rocks's rebuttal, Monger slapped Rocks on the head without mercy, which was obviously a symbol of good relationship in Madoo's eyes.

"Haha, if Dad knew, he would be very happy."

Maduo smiled sweetly and then looked over.

"By the way, where are Sister Lily and the others?"

"They."

Monger smiled helplessly: "Some time ago, I disbanded my pirate group. Now everyone has gone their separate ways."

"After all, compared to the lifespan of you giants, our lifespan is far too short, and the time we can fight is also much shorter." "As you can see, I am also an old man."

Monger raised his arms. His once strong muscles had now become shriveled, and he had become much thinner than before.

Hearing Monge's words, Mado couldn't help but lower his head.

"Feel sorry."

"Haha, don't worry about such trivial matters. Look, I'm setting sail again now, aren't I?"

Monger smiled. His muscles were certainly not as strong as they were in his heyday, but they were much stronger than they were more than a month ago.

Perhaps this is the benefit of increased cell activity.

"correct."

Looking around and seeing no one in the tavern, Monger asked Mado to lower his head and asked stealthily, "Little Mado, have you cut down any branches from the Adam tree recently?"

In Elbaf, the Adam Tree is also known as a sacred tree and cannot be cut down easily.

There are exceptions to everything.

For example, when it rains and thunders, the lightning may ignite the Adam tree. In order to prevent the fire from spreading to other branches, the burning part will be cut off.

If you're lucky, there might be some left.

"this one"

When Madou heard Monger's question, a distressed expression appeared on his face.

"Should I tell you?"

This posture is exactly the same as that of Mado's father Balder.

"Maduo, you've learned bad things."

Seeing Maduo's appearance, Monger showed a heartbroken expression.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Hehe, when you're free, Uncle Munger, just tell me what happened after you left."

Hearing what Madoo said, Monger pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"make a deal!"

Then Monger learned from Maddo that Elbaf had indeed received a batch of Adam tree branches rescued from the fire recently.

Although they are just branches, as long as you know that the entire Elbaf is built on the Adam Tree, you will understand that the so-called branches are much thicker than the diameter of an ordinary century-old tree.

However, knowing that there is such a batch of Adam wood and how to get it are completely different in difficulty.

After all, the giants never sell branches of the Adam tree. Even those branches of the Adam tree that were rescued from the fire are mostly used in the most important sacrificial activities every year.

Robbing is definitely impossible unless Monger wants to make enemies with all the giants in Elbaf.

If the giants had no desires, even Mung would be powerless.

But Monger knew what the giants wanted now.

And coincidentally, he has a way to help the giants achieve this wish.

"Haha, since I finally made it to Elbaf, I'm going to have a good drink. Little Madoo, if the rainbow goes up, remember to remind me."

The entire Elbaf is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower.

The uppermost layer is the heaven, the middle layer is the yang world, and the lowermost layer is the underworld.

Munger and the others are now at the bottom level.

Because the crown of the Adam tree is too dense and blocks the sunlight, there are few plants growing in the underworld where they are now, making it unsuitable for living.

Therefore, giants generally live in the treetops where sunlight can reach, that is, in the Yang realm.

To travel from the underworld to the world of the living, one needs to take a special rainbow bridge.

But, as Munger said.

Since we finally made it to Elbaf, of course we had to have a nice drink.

More haste less speed.

We've been through so many years, a few days won't make a difference.

"correct."

Thinking of another thing, Monger hurriedly asked, "Little Mador, is Carmelo still in Elbaf?"

The proof that the future Four Emperors are still on this island is Our Lady of Mount Carmel, a woman who is quite prestigious even among the Titans.

However, compared to the giants, Munger had known Carmelo for much longer, and he was very clear about the other side of this woman.

"Are you talking about Sister Carmelite? She's still here."

Maddo was halfway through answering when the door of the tavern was opened again.

A heroic and wild girl walked in.

"Mado, give me a Green Goblin!"

"Ok."

Maddo nodded quickly, then gestured to Monger and Rocks.

"Sister Lipri, be careful. There are two younger guests here. Also, don't smash things when you're drunk, or you'll get scolded."

Maduo kept talking and didn't notice the sister Lipri she was talking about. She was stunned when she saw the little man on the table beside her.

Monger, who was sitting at the table, saw the girl who broke in and greeted her: "Hey, Lipri, long time no see!"

"Monger?"

When Lipri saw Monger, she was stunned for a moment, and then the next second, she clenched her fists.

"You stinky old man."

"Long time no see!"

"You said you'd let me join the ship when I grew up, and it's been ten years!!!"
