  The m, bright and early, El led Linlin and the promising children from the Sheep’s House, who came from various parts of the world and different races, to board a rge ship provided by the giants.

  They said their goodbyes to the two giant elders, Mountain Beard Jarul and Waterfall Beard Jorul, before departing from Elbaf. Their destination was the isnd where El had killed Carmel the day before—a pce with fertile nd aiful sery, ideal for establishing a future base.

  As for the bodies of the Wover agents, El had long disposed of them by anding pnts to toss the corpses into the sea, where they were devoured by sea beasts and Sea Kings. Thus, the se wasn’t particurly gruesome, certainly not enough to scare the children from the Sheep’s House, who were still anxious and uain about their future.

  “Tsk, tsk...”

  “El, is this mess all from your battle with those Wover dogs? The aftermath is truly chaotic...”

  Despite the -up, the disorderly and rown trees and vines left the giants who apahem—like Kashii, Raideen, and Oimo—slightly surprised.

  “Big Brother El, are we going to live here now?” Linlin tugged on El’s sleeve, curiously surveying the surroundings.

  In fact, she had slowly realized that she might have been abandoned by her parents. But, being naturally carefree and opeed, she didn’t stay on Elbaf’s coast foolishly waiting for them to return. Instead, feeling a little lost, she g to El even more.

  “Yes, this will be where our dreams begin,” El said fidently as he patted her head. “From today onward, we’ll live here and build our own home from nothing.”

  As for the future Totto Land, it wasn’t yet known by that name. But there was no rush—they would use this pce as a base for the time being. Ohey gained enough strength and mahey could occupy it formally.

  “The pce where dreams begin?”

  “Our own home?”

  The children from the Sheep’s House, eyes teary, looked up i El, eared as tall and grand as a small giant. Their once lost and fused expressions began thten.

  “That’s right! We will build our own dreamnd here!” El spread his arms wide, smiling as he decred loudly.

  “Yay!”

  “That’s amazing!”

  “Big Brother El, we’ll follow you!”

  “Building a dreamnd... is that real?”

  The children from the Sheep’s House, being just kids, couldn’t hide their excitement. They waved their hahusiastically, their faces lighting up with smiles as they echoed El’s words. The gloom that had weighed on them began to lift, and they started returning to their usual lively selves.

  “El, you definitely do it!” Gerd and Hajrudin, two of the giant children who had e along, smiled as they spoke in support.

  Seeing the children from the Sheep’s House st, the giant warriors smiled as well.

  “Alright, everyone, let’s get to work. Before dark, we’ll help El and the others build some houses!”

  “Okay!”

  After arriving on the isnd, Kashii and Oimo started giving orders to gather tools and begin cutting wood for stru.

  “There’s no need for that,” El waved them off, stopping them before they could get started. “Leave it all to me.”

  “Roar—”

  To everyone’s astonishment, El let out a low roar, and his body rapidly expanded before their eyes, transf into a majestic, t Quetzalcoatl, covered in gleaming scales and radiahers. He hovered in the air, imposing and awe-inspiring.

  “Crack crack~ Is this the legendary Mythical Zoan-type ability, rarer thahe Logia-types?”

  “Even though I’ve seen it before, every time El transforms, it’s still breathtaking!”

  “Indeed...”

  The sight of the enormous and powerful Quetzalcoatl left Kashii, Oimo, and the iant warriors in awe.

  “Wow! So cool!” Linlin’s eyes sparkled with admiration. “Big Brother El has transformed!”

  Through her own practice the previous day, Linlin had begun to grasp the powers of her Vampire form, allowio transform into a giant bat and fly freely. But pared to El’s majestic Quetzalcoatl form, her abilities seemed insignifit.

  “How did Big Brother El turn into a giant bird?” one of the children from the Sheep’s House asked, wide-eyed.

  “Don’t be stupid! That’s clearly a giant snake!” Hajrudied, correg him.

  “But snakes don’t have wings or feathers!” another child pointed out ily.

  “Uh...” Hajrudin was stumped.

  Well, he had never seen a snake like this either. Not only did it have feathers, but it also had two pairs of wings pletely different from each other.

  “Idiot, Hajrudin! This is the mythical Quetzalcoatl,” Gerd knocked on Hajrudin’s head, putting her hands on her hips as she scolded him. “It’s the legendary sky god, the god of agriculture, and the sun god!”

  Actually, Hajrudin was twice El's age, already eighteen, but outwardly he looked like a boy no older than ten because giants developed more slowly due to their long lifespans.

  “Huh? Sun god?”

  “Big Brother El is the sun god?”

  Hajrudin and the other children from the Sheep’s House were filled with disbelief.

  “Crack crack crack, Hajrudin, don’t be so surprised. This is a different sun god from the one we worship in Elbaf!” Raideen, a member of the Giant Pirate Warriors and Hajrudin’s menthed as he expined.

  “Ah, I see!” Hajrudin scratched his head, suddenly uanding.

  Just then, under everyone’s shocked eyes, the massive Quetzalcoatl’s fearsome eyes gleamed with a red light as El shouted, “Rise! Dreamnd!!”

  “Boom... boom...”

  The earth rumbled, and tless pnts began to move as if they had a life of their own.

  “Whoosh... whoosh...”

  Massive trees and vines shot up from the ground, weaving and iwining. Flowers of every color bloomed, and before their eyes, multi-level wooden houses rapidly took shape, firmly rooted in the ground.

  Around the trunk of an enormous tree, which had grown to a height of hundreds of meters—se that even six giants couldn’t their arms around it—spiral staircases made of viwisted upward. At the top stood a rge observation tower, plete with a giant windmill spinning in the breeze.

  There were even pygrounds with slides, see-saws, pirate ships, Ferris wheels, swings, and merry-go-rounds—all designed fiants, incredibly rge and intricate.

  In the blink of an eye, a rge part of the isnd, which was about ten kilometers in diameter, had been transformed into a dreamlike children’s amusement park.

  The rest of the isnd, aside from necessary living and activity spaces, was reserved frowing crops or medial herbs. Both food and medial herbs were highly profitable industries, and the Quetzalcoatl was associated with rain, sowing, harvest, and abundant crops. With his power to trol the growth of pnts, El po use this ability to its fullest potential.

  Iure, El inteo monopolize the export of food and preedial herbs in the New World. After establishing rge-scale cultivation and obtaining numerous seeds, he po occupy and develop uninhabited isnds in the Calm Belt, pnting valuable crops and gradually expanding his influence, reag even the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Blues.

  After all, pilging was a oime business, but this would be an endless source of wealth.
