Chapter 230: Little Garden

The Going Merry sailed on the ocean for three days, and finally, they saw a new island again.

"This should be the island of Little Garden. It isn't recorded on the Log Pose, but it is marked on the nautical chart."

After looking over the nautical chart, Nami spoke up.

"Little Garden? I remember there should be two Giants on this island!"

Uchiha Feiyu recalled the plot and asked.

"Huh?! How did you know that?"

Princess Vivi was slightly surprised, but she didn't pay much mind to it:

"It is said that the Giants on Little Garden have been fighting here for a hundred years. Generally speaking, everyone avoids this island, and even if they do land, they leave as quickly as possible."

Even in the first half of the Grand Line, Giants are very intimidating powerhouses. Moreover, these two Giants on Little Garden were once captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates; they are considered strong even among Giants, far more impressive than those Marine Vice Admirals.

Two Giants fighting sounds quite fun, but in reality, watching it could scare the wits out of an ordinary person. Even if one knew these two Giants had no malicious intent, ordinary children wouldn't dare to get close—who knows if they might get stepped into a pulp? Not to mention that no one knows if these two Giants are good or bad.

Therefore, although the island of Little Garden is quite famous in this vicinity, it remains relatively mysterious.

"Giants, huh... Let's go, let's head up and take a look!"

Uchiha Feiyu said with bright eyes. The various physiques and races in the One Piece World were also very effective for Uchiha Feiyu to strengthen himself, and he also wanted to see the strength of these two Giants.

"Giants... Hehe, actually, I have a disease where I die if I see a Giant..."

Usopp's legs went soft like noodles, and he spoke tremblingly. Uchiha Feiyu glanced at him speechlessly and said indifferently:

"If you want to stay here, that's fine, but the dangers of this island aren't just those two Giants. Staying on the ship alone might actually increase the possibility of encountering danger."

"No, no, no, no need, I'll be fine on my own!"

Usopp shook his head frantically. Clearly, he didn't take Uchiha Feiyu's words to heart, and Uchiha Feiyu didn't bother with him either. Anyway, Usopp had always been lucky; nothing should happen to him.

Or rather, even if something did happen, with this guy's cowardly nature, it would probably just be a serious injury, and he would still be able to save his life.

After leaving Usopp alone, Uchiha Feiyu brought Princess Vivi, Nami, Richie, and the roll-headed minister to Little Garden.

Although this island is called Little Garden, it is actually not a small island. It is just that the creatures on the island are numerous and enormous in size, which makes the island appear very small, hence it is called Little Garden.

Or rather, to the two Giants, this island is indeed no different from a small garden.

Walking into the island and looking at the towering trees all around, the group was filled with surprise. Suddenly, a terrifying roar echoed from the forest.

Richie was so scared that his legs went soft and he shivered, and the others were also full of panic:

"This sound... what kind of monster is it coming from?"

Nami asked with a trembling voice. Uchiha Feiyu looked up:

"It should be an ancient dinosaur in Little Garden! As expected of the Grand Line, even these ancient creatures from the prehistoric era exist."

"Hehe... Dinosaurs and such, that's a bit too exaggerated..."

Nami gave a dry laugh and said. Uchiha Feiyu raised an eyebrow and slowly pointed a finger.

Nami's body stiffened. She turned her head just in time to see a dinosaur's head poking out from the forest and biting down.

"Ahhh!"

Accompanied by a scream, Nami was bitten directly by the dinosaur and then struggled desperately. Princess Vivi and the roll-headed minister were shocked and hurriedly launched attacks at the dinosaur.

However, the chains and machine guns of these two only hurt the dinosaur a little; it wasn't injured at all. Instead, the pain angered this huge dinosaur.

The dinosaur bit down hard on its prey twice, but felt that the thing in its mouth was slippery and couldn't be bitten at all. Nami was held in the dinosaur's mouth, screaming for two or three minutes before she came to her senses and realized she wasn't in any pain.

"Are you an idiot? As a Slippery-Slippery Fruit user, this dinosaur can't hurt you at all!"

Uchiha Feiyu said speechlessly. Nami, having come to her senses, slipped right out of the dinosaur's mouth.

"So stinky, so stinky! My clothes are so stinky!"

Nami threw her somewhat tattered top to the side. That thing was covered in dinosaur saliva and had become incredibly foul-smelling. As for her own body, because of the Slippery-Slippery Fruit's ability, there were no injuries and no saliva.

"So Nami is also a Devil Fruit user?"

Princess Vivi said with some surprise. Uchiha Feiyu nodded, then added:

"This dinosaur is yours! Nami, you handle it yourself!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Nami was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face couldn't hold up:

"Let me deal with such a big dinosaur?"

"It's just a mere dinosaur. As long as you utilize your fruit ability well, you can deal with it easily."

"Anyway, to develop a Devil Fruit to its highest level, actual combat is definitely indispensable. Now is your best opportunity."

Nami really wanted to say that it was easy for him to talk, but looking at Uchiha Feiyu's expression, she knew she couldn't change his mind.

"Isn't it just a dinosaur? Watch me take it down easily!"

Nami gritted her teeth. In fact, she wasn't lacking in courage; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the ability to be a Pirate thief. She just naturally disliked head-on combat.

Now pushed to the limit, she took out the Clima-Tact that Usopp had made for her. At the same time, she pushed the ability of the Slippery-Slippery Fruit to the limit, and the whole person rushed toward the largest dinosaur as if skating.

In fact, although the dinosaurs on this island were large, their Power Level was just so-so. Once Nami completely calmed down, it was not difficult to deal with them.

The Slippery-Slippery Fruit could achieve a certain degree of immunity to physical attacks, almost ignoring the dinosaur's threat. Coupled with her fast speed, controlling the flowing air through her skin, and the ability of the Clima-Tact, it was enough for the current Nami to possess the power to manipulate thunderclouds.

Sure enough, the calmed-down Nami relied on adjusting her skin's friction to quickly create a small thundercloud. After a burst of thunder and lightning, the unlucky dinosaur collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again.

"Phew... It doesn't feel that hard after all..."

Nami put away the Clima-Tact, a smile appearing on her face. What's this, she was still quite capable of fighting!

"Alright, don't get cocky there. With your Devil Fruit ability, knocking down a dinosaur is a matter of course."

Uchiha Feiyu said, drawing the Sandai Kitetsu and stabbing it into the dinosaur's head. In an instant, he drained the entire dinosaur into a Dried Corpse.

The Dharma Power brought by the massive blood energy, although it only existed for a short time, strengthened his physical body by another notch.

Before the Dharma Power could dissipate, Uchiha Feiyu fused it simply with Haki and injected it into the Sandai Kitetsu again. This famous blade, which had already been tempered by baleful energy, flashed with a hint of dark red light once more.

Uchiha Feiyu narrowed his eyes, a vague realization forming in his heart. If he could kill a few hundred more people to reach a thousand-man kill, the essence of the Sandai Kitetsu might have an even greater improvement, and he might even be able to forge it into a Black Blade.

After all, his Armament Haki was slightly different from ordinary people's, vaguely possessing a trace of the characteristics of Dharma Power. Combined with that trace of divine Dharma Power from killing and absorbing blood, even if his Haki and time were far from enough, he could still forge a Black Blade.

Furthermore, with the feeding of more Dharma Power, fresh blood, killing intent, and Haki, this Sandai Kitetsu could exceed the limits of so-called Supreme Grade Swords, becoming an even more terrifying and sinister peerless demonic weapon.

Watching the dinosaur corpse that had turned directly into dried meat, Nami twitched the corner of her mouth:

"I just feel like the sword in your hand is becoming more and more dangerous... or rather, you are the one becoming more and more dangerous."

"Stop with the glib talk, get ready, and come with me to the volcano; I fear there are some unexpected enemies there."

Unexpected enemies? Nami was slightly stunned. Having stayed with Uchiha Feiyu for such a long time, she had some understanding of Uchiha Feiyu's Observation Haki and knew that Uchiha Feiyu had likely truly discovered something.

On the other side of Little Garden, on a white vessel, two Agents of Baroque Works had already come ashore.

From the small white boat, a seemingly quite calm young girl stepped off first. The young girl wore her dark red hair in long twin tails, had a pair of calm, large eyes, and had a blush on both cheeks. She wore a pink wide-brimmed hat decorated with a green ribbon, had many accessories on her hands, carried a small backpack, and held a drawing board in her hand.

Then, the entire small white boat began to slowly melt, and finally, a strangely dressed man jumped down from the melting boat.

He had a "3"-shaped topknot on his head, wore glasses, had a cold expression, and walked onto the beach against the backdrop of the melting boat.

"The ship sank..."

The young girl looked at the white ship and spoke in a flat tone. That bespectacled Mr. 3 waved his hand:

"It doesn't matter, it was just a ship I created using my Devil Fruit Ability; I can build as many as I want, so there is no need to care at all."

"The Zhirue Tennenmaru also sank..."

"Uh... it's fine, after the mission is completed and we get the bounty, we can buy a bigger ship!"

Zhirue Tennenmaru was precisely the ship of this young girl. The two of them were Agents belonging to Baroque Works, Mr. 3 and Miss Golden Week.

Mr. 3 was a Wax-Wax Fruit user. Although Miss Golden Week had absolutely no physical prowess, Haki, or Devil Fruit Ability, she possessed a masterful painting suggestion ability. The two of them were already among the top ten most elite Agents in the entire Baroque Works.

As for their mission, it was also very simple: to hunt down Princess Vivi. All the Bounty Hunters at Whiskey Peak had been killed to the last man, so the news naturally could not be covered up and was quickly discovered by the Unlucky Lovers.

Afterwards, based on the aerial investigation by that pair, they also discovered the Going Merry of Uchiha Feiyu and his group, finding the culprits.

At the same time, based on the internal investigation of Baroque Works, Princess Vivi's identity was also unearthed, and naturally, Baroque Works immediately dispatched assassins.

In the original work, the ones initially sent out by Baroque Works were Mr. 5, who possessed the Bomb-Bomb Fruit ability, and his partner Miss Valentine. However, this time Uchiha Feiyu had directly killed hundreds of Bounty Hunters, and his level of brutality was far greater than that of the Straw Hat Pirates, so Baroque Works dispatched the stronger Mr. 3 and Miss Golden Week combination.

However, their luck was clearly not great. The climate of the Grand Line was unpredictable, and although these two each possessed unique skills, their navigation skills were just so-so. Added to that, their luck this time was very bad, and the Zhirue Tennenmaru they were riding sank halfway due to a storm.

Fortunately, Mr. 3, as a Wax-Wax Fruit user, could directly create a candle ship; otherwise, the two of them would likely have drowned in the sea.

Therefore, the two of them coming to Little Garden was also an accident; they were supposed to have intercepted Princess Vivi's group on the sailing route.

"Can the mission really be completed? We don't have a ship now."

"Have a little confidence, Miss Golden Week! If I'm not mistaken, this island should be the legendary prehistoric island. I heard there are two powerful Giants here..."

"When the time comes, as long as you control those two Giants, we should have a way to leave!"

Miss Golden Week's expression was indifferent as she spoke leisurely:

"The Giants you speak of, are they those two guys?"

Mr. 3 was slightly stunned. He looked up and discovered that a tall figure was slowly walking out from the forest.

Gulp. Mr. 3 swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Looking at the Giant over 20 meters tall, who looked like a small hill, he felt his legs go a bit weak, and his pants were even a little wet.

"Mi-mi-mi... Miss Golden Week, your painting ability..."

Miss Golden Week took out her paintbrush, looked at the Giant for two seconds, and then silently put it back:

"It won't work, he's too big, not enough paint..."

"Some little people have actually come to the island, how rare! Hello there, little human."

The one who spoke was precisely the Giant Dorry. He looked at the two people before him with some curiosity. Mr. 3 took a long breath and managed to calm himself down.

In the original work, although Mr. 3 had a record of defeating a Giant, that was by first using schemes and tricks, then taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, which was how he barely managed to take down one Giant.

If they were to truly fight head-on, any random Giant could hammer Mr. 3 into a small pancake. Even his Candle Seal technique would likely be easily broken free from when these Giants were full of stamina.

"He-he-hello, Mr. Giant,"

Mr. 3 swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a smile that was uglier than crying appearing on his face.
