Looking at the food, which was bigger than Milim's entire body, Milim's eyes shone with a golden light. She sat on the table, tore off a large piece of meat, and savored it bite by bite.
Without much seasoning, it was mostly the original flavor of the food. While not exactly delicious, it could be said to have a certain unique taste.
Kashii and Oimo devoured the food in their hands in just a few bites. Food that would be enough for a normal person for five or six days was merely a small dessert in a giant's mouth, not even enough to fill them up.
After finishing the small amount of food in their hands, Kashii and Oimo didn't order any more. For the rest of the time, they just kept pouring wine into their mouths.
Charlotte Linlin finished the food in her hands, then looked at the two giants and asked very bluntly: "It seems your food supply isn't exactly plentiful right now."
"Sigh!" The two giants sighed, their eyes filled with worry. "Our giant appetites are countless times larger than a normal human's. We've already hunted the Sea Kings in the nearby waters to near extinction."
"Even so, we still can't get enough food and have to go hungry every day."
Kashii then added: "If our Giant Warrior Pirates' captains were still around like in the old days, we could also go out to sea to find food."
"But ever since our two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Dorry and Brogy, disappeared decades ago, we've searched for a long time but found nothing."
"So that's how it is, no wonder all the giants look so gloomy!" Milim, who had already finished the meat on her plate and was lying on the smooth dish, immediately sat up and responded loudly upon hearing the two giants' explanation.
"If Vegapunk were here, you wouldn't be starving."
"Eh?" The two giants looked at Milim in great surprise. "Who is Vegapunk? Why wouldn't we be starving if he were here?"
Milim proudly raised her hands and explained to the two wide-eyed giants: "Vegapunk is the chief scientist of our Totto Land. Not only can he create inventions that change the weather, but he has also improved food seeds. The food grown now yields dozens of times more than before!"
"Amazing!"
"That guy is too incredible!!"
The two giants immediately believed what Milim said without a hint of doubt; their simple nature would never imagine someone would lie to them about such a thing.
Just as they never expected to be tricked by the Marines into guarding a gate for 50 years.
Thinking about seeds that could produce dozens of times more food, the two giants' eyes sparkled, and their stomachs let out a loud rumbling sound.
This huge noise was naturally heard by Milim, Charlotte Linlin, and the others.
The two giants scratched their heads in embarrassment. "Good grief, just thinking about it made our stomachs growl. How embarrassing."
"Hahaha! It's tough being hungry!" Milim laughed nonchalantly. "Just like Linlin, whenever she gets hungry, she's like she's going crazy."
"I told you, don't talk about things from when I was a child anymore." Charlotte Linlin flicked Milim on the forehead again with her finger.
"Hee hee!" Milim giggled, holding her head, then said loudly to the two giants: "Aren't you very hungry? Then I'll give you all those seeds. After all, I can't stand the thought of anyone starving to death!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire tavern instantly fell silent. All the giants looked over in astonishment. They hadn't been speaking quietly, and with a giant's hearing, everyone in the tavern had naturally heard their conversation.
Charlotte Linlin didn't have any particular reaction. Although she had thought about using these high-yield crops to gain greater benefits, if Milim wanted to give them away, she had no objection. Even Vegapunk would only be happier.
"Milim, you're not joking, are you? Those are high-yield crops that can produce dozens of times more food." The two giants waved their hands, at a loss for what to do, finding the reality hard to believe.
"Vegapunk created the high-yield crops precisely so that everyone could have enough to eat. And aren't you hungry right now?" Milim said with an innocent smile, speaking words that everyone found incredible as if they were the most natural thing in the world.
From what Milim was saying, it seemed she was giving away these high-yield crops without asking for anything in return.
The two giants' eyes instantly welled up with tears. They knew the pain of hunger all too well. At that time, Elbaf was plagued by all sorts of natural and man-made disasters, and edible food became scarcer and scarcer.
In the end, great wars broke out between all the villages. If it weren't for the aid extended by surrounding nations, Elbaf would have likely suffered severe casualties.
They were extremely grateful to the nations that helped them; Giant King Harald even openly opposed the World Government for their sake.
To think that now, someone was willing to help them, the people of Elbaf, and with such a permanent solution.
At this, the two giants could no longer hold back. Wiping away their tears, they dropped to their knees. "We can never repay such a great kindness. I will ask for leave from the Giant King and join Totto Land."
"I also truly want to see it for myself—the dream nation of Totto Land that my compatriots spoke of, a place that can accommodate all races!"
The smile on Milim's face faded, replaced by an exceptionally serious expression. "Even if you are not from the same country, as long as you have goodwill in your hearts and long for peace, we in Totto Land will consider you our brethren."
"Totto Land is the nation of our dreams, and it will definitely be even more wonderful than we dreamed."
"That's what we're fighting for, right, Linlin!"
"That's right! We are walking on the path of our dreams!" A faint smile appeared on Charlotte Linlin's lips. For some reason, her Conqueror's Haki grew stronger, and though it wasn't released, it could shake everyone's very soul.
"How dazzling." This thought flashed through the minds of the surrounding giants simultaneously. After coming to their senses, they immediately performed the giants' most respectful salute to Milim.
In the time that followed, Milim and Charlotte Linlin played around continuously, accompanied by the two giants.
And the conversation between them and the two giants was spread by the other giants in the tavern at an incredible speed, reaching all of Elbaf.
Giants who had never known of Totto Land came to learn of its existence through this process—a nation that accommodates all races, where all races can eat their fill and laugh freely.
Upon hearing these ideals, some giants' eyes widened, and a name suddenly surfaced in their minds.
"Joy Boy!!"
