Jayr POV - Blue Star, Grand Line, Little Garden - 20 GAP

  I'm watg Koby from the distand 't help but smile seeing how he just vinced both Darry and Brogi to stop their endless duel, something that not everaw Hats were able to do, then my smile bees a wry one while I think, 'Not that they wao do it in the first pce... if I remember well, both Luffy and Usopp quite admired the Giants' dedication to their belief and honorable value as warriors too much to see that there was another solution to their fight that allows them to keep their honor and life...'

  Thinking that, I let out a sigh while thinking, 'Well, I admit that I'm also kinda biased, as I personally think that honor isn't a reason good enough reason to die for, I feel that there are way better reasons for example to proteeone you care, save many lives, or even guarantee your kids future happiness and safety...'

  Then I focus ba Koby and a proud smile once again forms on my face, 'Ahing that I'm pleased with is just how much Koby has grown in these 3 days of stantly fag the dangers of this isnd. He is now a lot more fident than before, as the old Koby would have never spoken out like that. And that isn't the only ge he went through, now he is a lot more aware of his surroundings...'

  After that, I focus on his physical state, and I once again sigh, 'But as expected he went through quite a lot to reach this state... his clothes are ripped in many pces, they are more like rags than proper clothes, but strangely his gsses are still perfectly fine. His body isly healthy either, there are scratches, bite marks, and even some cracked bones all over his body... Luckily he always made sure to take care of his wounds as fast as possible, so they weren't ied, and he was also careful with the water he drank, making sure to always boil it first, so he didn't i any deadly bacteria... but he was bit by quite a few is, and among them there is also the bite mark of the tick Kestia which carries the Five Day Disease, but luckily I already made sure that Koby's immune system is strong enough to easily deal with such things.'

  At this point, the Giants are happily ughing feeliatic about the sudden end of their tennial duel, and thanking Koby for helping them realize God Elbaf's will, so I quickly teleport beside Koby and put my hand on his shoulder, I pliment him, "Good job, Koby. You were able to survive 3 days on this deadly isnd while receiving minimal help from Dorry and Brogi."

  While saying that, I also take advantage of this moment to fully heal Koby's body from all his wounds and afflis.

  My sudden appearance obviously surprises everyone present, as Koby shouts, "Jayr-san!?" while Dorry and Brogi quickly raise their guard clearly wary of me.

  But I quickly tried to calm them down by introdug myself, "o meet you two. My name is Jayr and I'm Koby's teacher." I slightly lower my head and thank them, "Let me express my gratitude for allowing Koby to rest safely in your camp these 3 days."

  This seems to work as both the Giants' tense bodies start to rex, and quickly after Dhs out loud as he says, "Gegyagyagya! You don't o thank us for that! It was o have some pleasant pany after all this time." Brogi quickly follows after him as he says, "Moreover, little Koby also helped us figure out something really important! Without him, it is really possible that we would have tinued our duel for another 100 years! Gababababa!"

  Suddenly the biggest volo once agais, and on instinct both Dorry and Brogi rush toward their ons and then rush against each other to start to fight onaking Koby scream in panic, "Dorry-san! Brogi-san! Stop! Stop!!".

  Seeing that, I 't help but whistle and say, "*Pwee* Wow, that is for sure some ditioned response... They fought so mud for so many years that as soon as they heard the sound of that volo erupting they quickly started to fight each other disregarding everything else..."

  Just as they are about to csh, I fre my Spiral o, geing a wave of spiritual pressure that acts just like the Haoshoku Haki (queror's Haki), only this time, I don't aim at knog them out cold, but simply snap them out of their freate.

  Gdly, it works like a charm as the Giants stop just as they are about to hit each other with their ons, then they both look at me and mutter in synch, ""That was Haoshoku Haki (queror's Haki)...""

  At this point, Koby once again yells, "Brogi-san! Dorry-san! We just talked about how there isn't a need for you two to fight anymore! How could you start again so quickly!?"

  Both Dorry and Brogi appear to be embarrassed as they scratch the back of their head staring at the ground, then Dorry apologizes and expins, "Sorry, sorry, little Koby. You see we did this so many times and for so long, that when we heard the sound of the volo our first instinct was to fight each egyagyagya!"

  Brogi nods and with a ugh, he adds, "Gababababa! That's right, we just aren't used to this new sudden situatio. I think that in these 100 years, we just got too used to fighting against oher, it will likely take some years to get used to it."

  I smile wryly and say, "Well, a simple solution would be leaving this isnd aurning to Elbaf. You know without that volo signal you won't be pelled to fight by the instinct that you have honed in these 100 years..."

  Koby nods and adds, "And it isn't like you guys 't fight anymore either, you tio do so as much as you like, just do it without the io kill, as you guys aren't fighting for your honor anymore, but just to keep yhting skill sharp."

  At this point, both Brogi and Dree and nod their heads in sync, then Dorry says, "That's true, and since our duel finally came to an ued end. It is finally time for us to use the Eternal Pose aurn back to Elbaf, only..."

  But then Dorry stops as he realizes something, and Brogi standing beside him cludes, "... Only we just realized a little problem. At the moment we don't have either a ship or a boat capable ing us back to Elbaf... we have to build a new one from scratch... And I don't know how much time it will take especially since we will very likely stop w and start fighting again each time the volo erupts."

  Hearing that, I simply smile and say, "That won't be a problem for much longer...I'll take care of that."

  After saying that, I take a deep breath and focus as what I'm about to do needs very delicate trol and pinpoint precision, at the same time, I also briefly release my self-imposed limits on my awareo clearly feel and sehe full situation of this isnd and everything else in the surroundings.

  Just as Brogi, Dorry, and Koby were about to ask what I nning to do to resolve this problem, I rexed my body and threowerful and precise punch bashing the ground with my fist, but for an instant nothing happened, in fact, I didn't even damage the ground.

  But, the moment, the whole isnd starts to fiercely shake, so much that Koby, Brogi, and Dotty almost fall on the ground uo maintain their bance, while all kinds of creatures are randomly esg in panic.

  But after a few seds, everything stops shaking aurns calm, and finally uo tain his curiosity a slightly panicked Koby asks, "What was that? What did you do, Jayr-san!?"

  After firming that everything is fine, I quickly restore my self-imposed limits, then look at everyone and expin, "Well, I'll try to expin it as simply as possible. Basically, I just shifted some moving masses of rock that exist very deep underground in such a way that they shut off the volos from the magma chamber beh them, and so making it very difficult for the magma pressure as pressure to naturally reach the level o cause aion. To make it even more simple I just put those volos over there to sleep, they wo again for a little over 100 years."

  This seems to shock Koby as he once again asks, "Wait! Wait! Jayr-san! Are you telling us that you just put 5 voloes to sleep with a simple punch!?"

  In response, I simply nod and say, "Yes, but it wasn't a simple punch, you know? I had to be very careful and precise, I o use the perfect amount of power to just shift the masses underground just enough to shut off the manga chamber without causing any other unwanted damage. Too little power and I could have caused all the volos to erupt at the same time with such force that they could have very well destroyed the whole isnd. Too mud... well the results would have been very ugly."

  While saying that I 't help but think, 'Too much power and in the best case I could have seriously damaged this world's crust and uppermost mantle causing tless natural disasters all over this world. In the worst, I would damage this world's core, causing a good old world-ending explosion... then bye-bye p Blue Star. Well, not that I'll allow something like that to happen, even in the rare case that I made a mistake, I could always use Restoration Magic t everything back to its pristiate.'

  Suddenly both Brogi and Dorry start to ugh out loud, ""Gegyagyagya!/ Gababababa!""

  Then Dorry says, "Little Koby your teacher is for sure a powerful individual! I have never heard of someone able to stop a volo from erupting with a single punch."

  Brogi nods and adds, "That's right! I have heard and seen people destroying mountains, cities, or even whole isnds with the power of their bodies. But stopping a force of nature like a volo is a first even for me. How lucky you are!"

  At this point, I look between Koby and the Giants, then I smile and say, "Well, since Koby pleted his Survival Training, you guys resolved the issue with your tennial duel, and I temporarily fixed your problem with the volo that triggered your ditioned response. I think it is finally time to celebrate with a well-deserved hearty meal. You are obviously invited. What do you think?"

  Once again both the Giants ugh at the same time in perfect sync as they reply, ""That's right. At this point, a feast is a must!""

  I nod then I say, "Well, I will go and prepare everything needed. You guys find our ship on the river that flows through this ishe exit of the western side of the isnd, you know whie, right?" seeing both of them nod, I tinue, "You e when the sun is at its highest, and don't worry, I'll make sure to make some Giant-sized portions of both meat and mead!"

  Hearing that the Giants smile widely as Dorry says, "Oh! It's been quite a long time since I had some mead! I 't wait for it! Gegyagyagya!" followed by Brogi who says, "It's a feast!!"

  After that, Dorry and Brogi start to hack dowrees in the surroundings mostly to make use of them to build their boat to leave Little Garden, meanwhile, I and Koby start to walk back toward the Athena's God Bidoof, hunting all the big-sized dinosaurs we meet on our way to use them as main ingredients for the feast I'm going to prepare.

  Of course, I'm very careful to not kill too many of them, just enough to satisfy the appetite of 2 Giants and everyone else ohena's God Bidoof and mostly those dinosaurs that are already wounded from a failed or successful, after all, I don't want to harm this ecosystem too much, this is also the reason why I just put those volos in a dormant state only for hundreds of year instead of simply destroying them of turn them iinct volos.

  After some time, we are finally back to the Athena's God Bidoof with several dinosaur corpses floating right behind us and everyone is standing on the deck waiting for us to return, or more precisely to greet Koby's bad gratute him for his successful Survival Training.

  And indeed, as soon as we jump ohena's God Bidoof's deck, everyoarts to cp their hands and cheer while yelling, ""You did it! gratutions, Koby!!""

  Koby looks very moved by everyone's g for him, so much that he starts to choke a little as his eyes get watery and says, "T-Thank you very much, everyone!"

  At this point, Seika es forward and says, "You did very well. You rest now, take a bath, ge into some clothes, and enjoy the feast that we will prepare for you." Koby nods and says, "Y-Yes! Thank you, Seika-san."

  Oer the other, all came close to Koby and gratuted him for his successful endeavor, probably this is the first time that Koby received this much attention and goodwill, as he became a shy mess, and after that, he rushed ihe Athena's God Bidoof's living quarters to finally take a hot, rexing bath and after that, put on some proper clothes.

  Meanwhile, Seika and I started to prepare the dinosaur's meat and side dishes for the upi while Eri, Tio, Vivi, and Igaram prepared the table on the shore of the river, of course, they also made sure to create two giant-sized pces for Dorry and Brogi, so that everyone enjoy the meal together.

  At the same time, while I'm fog on roasting the dinosaur's meat, I also carefully brewing my own mead using a little bit of Telekinesis as ara arm aoration Magic to speed up the process.

  Luckily brewing mead is a lot simpler than it seems, first, the main ingredients of mead are only water, honey, yeast, and the Nymphs' Fruits for added fvor, then one needs some simple tools that I easily create using my Spiral o, then it es the various steps to brew mead.

  The first step, sanitize all the equipment, this is the most important as even the smallest amount of bacteria derail your entire mead-making operation, luckily for me, this is quite easy.

  Sed step, boil your water in a rge pot, and o boiling point, pull it off the stove and mix in the honey and the juice of the Nymphs' Fruit thhly.

  Third step, add cool water to your mixture in order t the temperature down and form an acceptable climate for the yeast, if it's too hot or too cold, the yeast won't properly activate.

  Fourth step, measure the temperature of your water, honey, and juice mixture, when it's between 80 and 100 degrees Fahre, transfer your liquid over to the wooden barrels to ferment it in, then add yeast, a nutrients, and vigorously stir as the more oxygeter at the start of fermentation, measure the starting gravity via Hydrometer or sense ahe top.

  Usually, one will want an airlock of some sort filled with sanitizer or clear liquor that allows air to escape during the fermentation process while deterring bacteria oside but a simple use of my Spiral akes for an easier and faster solution.

  The fifth step, allow the mixture to ferment for about a month, of course, the lohe better, in a cool, dry area, and once agaioration Magic is for the win in this case as it allows me to speed up the process to just a few seds.

  There is also a sixth and st step, which is to bottle the fermented mead, usually, this is doh a piece of siphoning equipment, but I simply teleport it into an already closed bottle a doh, and of course, these small bottles are in the end for our use, because for Dorry and Brogi, the wooden barrel will work as their gsses just fine.

  (AN: The process is really mostly like this, only I have left behind some nuances aails that while useless for the story are important for the produ, like if you add too much honey or some fruit or anything with sugar, it is possible to start a sed fermentation when you siphon the mead in a bottle causing it to explode, so if you are curious, want to do it, and is your first time doing something like this, do not use this as a guide or recipe.)

  In the end, I end up brewing more than 2 dozen of bottles, and almost as many barrels of mead, which should be enough to eain the Giants without them ending up dead drunk, or at least I hope so.

  After some time, it is finally time for lunch, and both uests, Brogi and Dorry, arrive on the shore of the river, quickly after introdug everyoo the Giants, we gather around the prepared table and start to merrily eat, drink, and have a lot of fun celebrating both the end of the Giant's duel and the successful pletion of Koby's Survival Training.

  At one point, Dhs out loud as he yells, "Gegyagyagya! This is one of the best meats I have ever had in my life, I never khat dinosaur meat could taste so good!!" followed by Brogi, who adds, "Gababababa! That's right, Dorry! And this mead is exceptional too!! I usually prefer rum as it is much stronger, but this one is just too delicious to drink!!"

  Needless to say, both of them are having a good time, just like everyone else, and even Vivi and Igaram who were at first very intimidated by the Giants' impressive size are now having fun with them too.

  Like that, we tio celebrate, eat, drink, and py games, basically, we simply had fun for the rest of the day, until the sun started to set.

  In the end, even if the mead wasn't to, Brogi and Dorry drank so much of it, that they ended up drunk, and fell asleep soon after with a big grin on their faces, while both the kids and the girls were showing signs of fatigue.

  Seeing that, I smile and decide that it is time for everyoo go to bed as tomorroill say goodbye to Little Garden aoward the isnd on our route, the winter isnd Drum Isnd.

  The day, we are all standing on the deck of the Athena's God Bidoof which is ready to move out from the river that leads to the wester of Little Garden, and standing on both of the shores, I see the figures i and Dorry as they face the endless sea it is obvious that they came to see us off.

  Seeing them, Koby rushes forward and waving his hand, he yells, "Brogi-san! Dorry-san! Farewell! We are going now! Be careful on your way home and please do not fight to kill each other anymore!"

  Both the Giants wave back, then Dorry once again says, "Little Koby, I oold you some of the reasons why you little humans who e to Little Garde able to reach the isnd but..."

  At this point, Brogi cludes, "... The most important reason why all the little ones who e here do not reach the isnd lies straight ahead..."

  Hearing that, I with little Kharna in my arms step forward and with a smile, I ask, "You guys are talking about the Iser, right?"

  Seeing both of them nod, I reassure them, "We already know about its presen these waters. Don't worry about it, we deal with it."

  They both smile, then Brogi says, "Of course, someone as strong as you easily deal with it. We already knew about that." then Dorry adds, "That's why we are here only to say our farewell as you guys set sail to the isnd, as well, thank you guys for both helping us and for all the deliead you have left us!"

  After that, they raise their ons point straight ahead, and yell at the same time, ""Now, go!! May we meet again iure my friends!!""

  At the same time, I smile and and, "Bidi, straight ahead to the isnd at cruise speed!"

  Soon, Athena's God Bidoof starts to move forward, but as soon as we leave the borders of Little Garden, the water ahead of us starts to rise as a humongous creature starts to appears in front of us.

  It is an enormous fish, rivaling the size of even the most massive of Sea Kings. He resembled a typical white-red coldfish, with protruding eye sockets and a wide mouth that had a set e teeth, this is the famous Iser.

  (Image Here - Iser)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Its appearance shocks Koby, Vivi, and Igaram very much despite them already knowing about its existence, I even hear Dorry in the distance as he calmly ents, "Oh! Well, well, well. Hasn't he grown quite a bit sihe st time we have seen him, Brogi?"

  Brogi then replies, "The most surprising thing isn't the size of this goldfish... but rather the size of the feces it craps out, after swallowing whole isnds!" Dorry just as quickly replies, "Yes certainly... feces enormous enough to be called the Nanimonai Isnd."

  At this point, Brogi ughs and says, "Gegyagyagyagya... I still remember the time we nded on it, mistaking it for dry nd...!" once again making Dree with him, "Aye, those fond days of adventure... the memories e flooding back when I look at them...!" and both once again start to loudly ugh.

  At the same time, I hear Vivi behind me excim, "This is way too big!! Are you sure it is safe?" and Igaram quickly tries to reassure her, "Don't worry Princess Vivi. Remember the strength that Jayr-san showed us when fag the Stro Swordsman in the World! Such a monster should be easy to deal for him!" but it is clear that he also is slightly worried about the imposing size of the Iser.

  Seeing that, I step forward to deal with that, but then I remember that I still have Kharna in my arms, and worried I look at her ahat she is calmly looking at the Iser with a small frown on her face which makes me internally sigh in relief while thinking, 'Ah... Luckily that thing didn't scare my brave aiful Kharna so I don't have to erase all the goldfish from the Omniverse... Oh well, let's just quickly deal with it...'

  But just as I'm about to make my move, I hear Kharna in my arms mutter, "Ugvly..."

  Then I suddenly feel her Spiral , and quickly after that, our bodies are enveloped by the phantasmal image of a mid-size beautiful dragon, which looks like an older and bigger version of Kharna's Dragon Form, with two big horns ing out from the sides of her head, the big and powerful wings, her sharp cws, and a long sinuous tail.

  Then the phantom image of Kharna's Dragon Form lets out a silent roar and soon after that, Kharna's Spiral es even more and the phanton releases a Dragoh ht light green spiral fmes that quickly heads toward the Iser splitting the sea in half on its way to its target.

  Kharna's Dragoh soundlessly hits the Iser and a bright light blinds everyone for an instant, soon after that, it fades away, enabling us to see the result of her attack, and I 't help but smile brightly seeing that Kharna's Dragoh totally erased the Iser leaving nothing behind but the still parted waters, and with joy I pliment, "That's my girl!"

  Odyin
