The setting sun dyed the volcanoes of Small Garden a dark red, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur.
Not long after, Brogy's mountain-like colossal figure reappeared in everyone's sight.
With every step he took, the ground trembled slightly, raising clouds of dust.
"Thud!" With a dull thud, Brogy casually tossed a figure aside.
Daz Bones's body hit the ground heavily, his clothes were tattered, blood constantly overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was on the verge of death.
Brogy, carrying his battle-axe, laughed heartily: "Gahahahaha, this kid is really tough, he took an axe from me and still isn't dead."
Yun Lie looked at Daz Bones, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He knew very well that Brogy's axe strike must have been imbued with the Giant Race's unique Haki technique.
Not to mention Daz, who possessed the Quick-Cut Fruit and a body as hard as steel, even a Zoan Mythical Beast ability user would be severely injured by such an axe strike.
Yun Lie silently mourned for Daz for two seconds in his heart; it was indeed a miracle that this person could survive.
"Brogy, they have something I need on them, can you let me handle it?"
Yun Lie pointed to the unconscious members of Baroque Works, a smile on his face.
Brogy scratched his head, his beard trembling along with it, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then I want three more barrels of sake!"
In his opinion, the lives of these people were far less important than fine wine, and the wine he got in return could even be shared with his good friend Dorry on the island.
Thinking of Dorry, who had also been on this island for a hundred years, Brogy seemed to already see the scene of the two of them sitting around a bonfire, drinking to their heart's content, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously stretched into a wider grin.
"No problem!"
Yun Lie agreed without thinking. For him, trading three barrels of fine wine for a few Devil Fruits was a sure-fire profitable deal, no matter how you looked at it.
With a wave of his hand, five large barrels of fine wine with exquisite labels appeared on the beach, and the mouths of the wine jars were tied with bright red ribbons, looking particularly festive.
Not only that, he also gave two extra barrels. Seeing this, Brogy was as excited as a child, jumping and hopping with the wine barrels, the air currents he created almost overturning the nearby bushes, and in his mind, he already imagined Dorry's surprised expression when he saw the fine wine.
After Brogy sat down with the wine barrels, Yun Lie asked, "By the way, Brogy, I want to learn the Three Types of Haki, can you teach me?"
During the previous battle, he clearly sensed that Brogy had used Armament Haki.
And considering that Brogy had been able to sense his home being destroyed before, it was highly likely that he had also used Observation Haki.
"Haki? Does one need to learn that?"
Brogy tilted his head, looking confused: "In our Giant Race, everyone fights from a young age. As they fight, Armament Haki and Observation Haki naturally develop."
As he spoke, Brogy began to recall his childhood memories in the Giant Race.
As Yun Lie listened, he felt helpless. Fortunately, Brogy had been in Small Garden for a hundred years, and his memory was already blurry, otherwise, he really didn't know when he would finish talking.
"Then can you show me Armament Haki?" Yun Lie quickly interrupted.
"Of course, no problem. Armament Haki is very simple, look at my arm."
Brogy grinned and extended his massive arm. In an instant, a powerful force erupted from his body, and a deep purple aura wrapped around his entire right arm as if it were solid.
Yun Lie stood very close and truly felt that immense power, as if this arm could easily destroy a small mountain.
Coupled with the Giant Race's naturally powerful vitality, Brogy's Haki reserves were unfathomable, like an abyss with no bottom in sight.
Yun Lie secretly pondered in his heart that the essence of Armament Haki was the control of the body's life energy. The stronger the life energy, the higher the density and content of the Haki.
The Iron Body of the Naval Six Styles had a similar effect, but compared to true Armament Haki, it was simply a simplified, low-spec version.
"Thank you, Brogy." Yun Lie withdrew his perception and thanked him sincerely.
Although Brogy didn't teach specific cultivation methods, this close-range experience gave him a brand new understanding of Armament Haki.
Thanks to the powerful sensory abilities granted by the Space Fruit, he achieved a cognitive breakthrough from nothing to something.
Subsequently, Yun Lie also asked Brogy about his understanding of the use of Observation Haki. Although the process was a bit convoluted, some useful experiences were still gained.
As the sky grew darker, Brogy hoisted the wine barrels onto his shoulder and loudly declared, "Gahahahaha, it's time to go back and rebuild our home!"
With that, he took large strides and ran off, his speed astonishingly fast.
Yun Lie looked at his retreating figure, unable to help but wonder if this Giant was in a hurry to go back and drink with Dorry.
It was a pity that the volcanoes of Small Garden showed no signs of erupting, otherwise, he would have been able to witness the spectacular battle between the two Giants, Brogy and Dorry.
Night had completely fallen, but the Infinite Space was brightly lit.
Yun Lie held the Log Pose he had found on Mr.3, which pointed in the direction of Alabasta.
This meant that they no longer had to wait for the Log Pose to fully charge, and could depart earlier.
On the table in the ship's cabin, four Devil Fruits of different shapes were displayed: the sharp-edged, metallic-lustered Paramecia Quick-Cut Fruit; the Paramecia Wax-Wax Fruit with a waxy surface; the Zoan Mole-Mole Fruit: Mole Form, carved with a mole pattern; and the Zoan Dog-Dog Fruit: Dachshund Form, carved with a dachshund shape. Each fruit exuded a mysterious aura, as if telling of its unique power.
"What do you think, do you have any ideas?" Yun Lie asked Nami and Nojiko.
"I'm not a swordsman, so the Quick-Cut Fruit is useless to me. The Wax-Wax Fruit is sticky, and these two Zoan fruits are too ugly in shape, I don't want them!"
Nami quickly shook her head, her face full of disdain, and she even exaggeratedly pouted.
Karina also nodded: "I'm not good at fighting, so eating the Quick-Cut Fruit would be a waste. Let's forget about it."
Actually, she had another thought in her mind, which was that the Wax-Wax Fruit always made her think of some inappropriate things, sticky and gooey, and she expressed that she only accepted Yun Lie's.
And these two Zoan Devil Fruits were even more impossible, after all, it's a woman's nature to love beauty. A dachshund and a mole, too ugly!
Yun Lie smiled helplessly and with a wave of his hand, put the Devil Fruits into his pocket: "Alright, when I find suitable ones, I'll give them to you."
