Chapter 659 - 659: 659: Reunion in Elbaf
The giants battling the Straw Hat crew in the distance froze in shock at what they had just witnessed."Such a powerful opponent… even Berryk was taken down!"
Boom!
A massive black silhouette burst out from the cloud of dust. Berryk, the wild-haired giant who had just been sent flying by Luffy, landed heavily on the ground.
Rumble!
With a furious roar, Berryk flung his hair back, his muscles swelling as he slammed his fists toward Luffy.
"Human brat! This isn't over yet!"
Luffy dropped out of his giant form and returned to normal, rolling up his sleeves with a wide grin.
"Hehe, just as expected of a giant. You can really take a beating. Let's go another round!"
"Wait, Berryk!"
Before the clash could continue, Gerd, the female giant who had been fighting Sanji, stepped in and blocked Berryk's path. Her expression carried both excitement and curiosity.
She turned toward Luffy, then glanced at Sanji, who was spinning with hearts in his eyes, and asked eagerly,
"You two… are you members of the Straw Hat Pirates? Do you know little sister Robin?"
Whoosh!
At the mention of Robin, Luffy immediately lit up.
"Hehehe! You know Robin?"
Without hesitation, he leaped forward, grabbing Gerd's shoulder and climbing onto her chest, staring at her with excitement.
"Robin is part of our crew! She's here? We came to pick her up!"
"Ahhhhh!"
Sanji's face flushed red as he glared at Luffy, flames of jealousy practically bursting from him.
"Hey! Luffy! Where are you standing, you bastard! That's way too enviable!"
"Really… it's really you!"
Gerd's face bloomed with joy. She gently scooped up Luffy and Sanji in her hands, then effortlessly stopped the two giants who were clashing with Brook and Franky, lifting them as well.
"Little Robin is in our village. She's with her benefactor, Saul, at the Owl Library!"
"Ahh… to be held by a beautiful giant like this, I can die happy!"
Sanji rolled around blissfully in her palm.
Brook leaned forward politely.
"May I see your underwear?"
"Sorry, no."
Gerd smiled as she refused.
The surrounding giants finally lowered their weapons, laughter erupting among them.
"So they're Robin's companions?"
"Hahaha! Then we're on the same side!"
"We giants do tend to misunderstand small humans. If you had said earlier that you were the famous Straw Hat Pirates, we wouldn't have attacked!"
"Exactly! I heard your Vice Captain, Shirogai, has a bounty of ten billion Berries! The man who built the Sky Island Alliance!"
"I wonder if he can make a flying ship big enough to carry us giants to the sky!"
"Where is Shirogai? The two captains praised him endlessly, saying he's comparable to the Pirate King himself!"
Amid the excitement, a few giants led by Berryk remained silent, their expressions slightly dark as they watched Luffy and the others.
So it really is them…
The crew of Shirogai, the man the World Government fears the most.
Luffy, standing atop Gerd's palm, laughed cheerfully.
"Are you talking about Uncle Dorry and Uncle Brogy? So they really made it back to Elbaf!"
He stretched his arms wide, excitement written all over his face.
"Shirogai brought us here from Fish-Man Island! He said Robin was on this island, but I didn't expect we'd land in Elbaf! Usopp is going to love this!"
His tone dipped slightly as he added,
"Though… we got separated during the teleportation. No idea where the others landed, but they must have run into your people."
Gerd nodded with a reassuring smile.
"That's fine. Let's head back to the village first. Your friends might already be there."
"Alright!"
Luffy cheered, climbing up to stand on her head as he looked around excitedly.
"A giant village! Where is it?"
"It's just ahead," Gerd replied, her tone turning more serious. "But you arrived at a bad time. Normally, we wouldn't attack humans so easily."
She continued as she walked.
"Not long ago, unknown enemies ambushed Elbaf. They attacked Saul and then disappeared. We were searching for them when we saw you falling from the sky, so we mistook you for those attackers."
Franky struck a pose in her palm like a mechanical figurine.
"So that's what happened! Have you caught them yet?"
Gerd shook her head.
"No. It's as if they vanished. Elbaf is vast, we can't track them easily. For now, bringing you to the village and informing Robin is more important."

Elbaf, West Village
"Shirogai!"
A tall, graceful figure approached, her voice carrying warmth and relief.
Shirogai, seated casually beside Dorry, Brogy, and the elder Arlulu, lifted his gaze.
Robin.
A faint smile curved his lips as he met her eyes.
"Oh, Robin."
His tone was calm, almost teasing, as his gaze lingered just a moment longer than necessary.
"It's been a while. You look… happy. That suits you."
Robin's smile softened, a hint of warmth flickering in her eyes as she stepped closer.
"And you haven't changed at all, Shirogai."
Shirogai chuckled quietly, leaning back with effortless composure.
"Of course not. Someone has to stay reliable."
His eyes glinted slightly as he added,
"Though I must say, seeing you like this… makes the trip worthwhile."
Robin held his gaze for a brief moment, her smile deepening, a subtle tension lingering between them as the reunion settled in.
