The ship docked.
Everyone disembarked and quickly made their way up the towering volcano.
Two Giants were sitting at the crater, preparing ingredients.
The aroma filled the entire sky.
Kevin couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly; he was hungry.
It was embarrassing to admit.
Kevin, who was famous across the seas and had made the World Government and Marines look bad, hadn't eaten a single delicious meal since setting sail.
There were only a few people on the ship.
None of them were cooks.
Hancock tried very hard to learn cooking for Kevin's sake, but she had no talent and almost burned down the Tomorrow several times.
The food Gyon made was, at best, edible.
Kevin was the same.
Koala was too young.
They just made do with their meals every day.
Suddenly smelling the fragrant aroma from miles away, his appetite greatly increased.
"I heard you, you're very hungry, please enjoy." Panz Fry, the Giant who was grilling ingredients with the volcano, enthusiastically offered them food.
Beside him was his daughter, Lili Enstmark, who possessed the Mini Fruit.
"Dad, they seem to be..." Lili Enstmark said, processing ingredients while looking at Kevin, tilting her head in thought, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
She slapped her forehead, a vegetable leaf sticking to her forehead: "I remember now, the newspapers were full of you guys a while ago."
Her eyes immediately became fervent.
She turned into a fangirl, burning with enthusiasm: "Please sit down quickly, new food will be ready soon."
Kevin didn't stand on ceremony.
He sat down with the women.
They enjoyed the delicious food.
It was delicious.
Not to mention these past few days, even in the Marines, he hadn't eaten such delicious food.
It made Kevin urgently want a cook, a female cook.
While heartily enjoying the meal and chatting with Lili Enstmark, Kevin set his sights on her.
Judging by her skilled handling of ingredients, her cooking skills must be amazing.
Kevin asked, "Where are you going?"
Panz Fry replied, "Just traveling freely on the sea, cooking for hungry travelers, and then looking for our companions who left home."
Kevin thought for a moment: "Do you know the Giant Race's Blue Ogre and Red Ogre?"
Panz Fry was startled, immediately putting down his huge iron pot, and an eager big face leaned in: "Are you talking about 'Blue Ogre' Dorry and 'Red Ogre' Brogy? Have you seen them? Where are they? They've been gone for almost a hundred years."
"I know, they're on Little Garden."
"Can you take us there?"
Kevin nodded, as it was on the way anyway.
Panz Fry became even more enthusiastic, preparing a large amount of food.
Kevin ate his fill.
Soon, the two ships set off, one after the other.
The Tomorrow was in front.
Panz Fry's ship was behind.
He was alone.
Lili Enstmark came to the Tomorrow as a guest, and the straightforward female Giant quickly became close with Koala and the others.
Lili Enstmark boarded the ship in her shrunken form, her height the same as a normal person.
"A female Giant who ate a Devil Fruit, the Mini Fruit?" Gyon even took another look: "The most suitable fruit for a Giant."
Giants are very famous on the high seas.
They are incredibly strong and are known as the strongest race.
Giants who join the Marines almost all become Vice Admirals after adulthood, and figures associated with the Giant Race in various major forces are deeply favored by important people.
However, the Giant Race's shortcomings are obvious.
They possess immense strength but are also clumsy.
Especially when facing strong opponents, they are practically living targets, which leads to the Giant Race's awkward situation: they are invincible against weaker foes, but no top-tier powerhouses have emerged from their ranks.
And Lily Enstmark ate the Mini Fruit.
The Giant Race's weaknesses and flaws were gone.
Her future prospects far exceed those of other Giants.
"Kevin, you want to?"
"Let's wait and see."
Kevin wasn't in a hurry to invite her.
There were still a few days until Little Garden.
Lily Enstmark stayed on the Tomorrow for most of those days.
She got along best with Hancock's two younger sisters, had a lot of fun, and had already become good friends with them.
These past few days.
With Panz Fry around, Kevin ate and drank well every day, feeling very comfortable.
Unbeknownst to them.
Little Garden arrived, and reaching Little Garden meant they would soon leave the Grand Line.
"Lord Dorry, it really is you!" Panz Fry excitedly looked at the two Giants on the island and rushed over to them.
After an excited and laughing conversation.
Kevin, who had brought Panz Fry, also gained the friendship of the two Giants, Dorry and Brogy; that's just how Giants are, straightforward.
After a while.
Panz Fry looked at Kevin with some apology: "Mr. Kevin, I'm sorry, but I can't travel with you anymore, and I can't cook for you. I plan to stay here for a few years to accompany Lord Dorry and the others."
"That's your freedom," Kevin said with a smile.
Then he looked at Lily.
"Ah? A few years?" The female Giant Lily couldn't help but pout.
A few years isn't long for a Giant.
But young Lily couldn't sit still; it would be hard for her to stay on an uninhabited island for several years.
"Lily, why don't you travel with us? Join us."
"Yes, we don't want to be separated from you either," Boa Marigold and her sister said, looking at Lily with reluctance.
Then they looked at Kevin with pleading eyes: "Captain, can she?"
"Can I really?" Lily jumped up excitedly, then looked at Kevin expectantly.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Of course, if you're willing, you're welcome to join."
"Yay!" Lily and Boa Marigold hugged each other excitedly.
Her father was very happy for Lily to join Kevin Pirate Crew: "Go, travel with Mr. Kevin."
A new member joined.
The seventh member.
Official Member: Giant Race Lily Enstmark, Paramecia Type Mini Fruit.
Combat Power: 10236.
Kevin immediately gained ten thousand combat power, and his total combat power was about to break three hundred thousand.
At the same time: [Physique +5, Height +10 cm.]
Two basic attributes increased.
"The Giant Race has amazing physiques, so my physique also increased. With the Mini Fruit's size change, my height increased."
Total Physique: 55.
Height: 241 + 10 = 2.51 meters.
Fortunately, the height increase was gradual over the next month, so it didn't instantly add ten centimeters and didn't attract Gyon's attention.
