Chapter 48: Little Garden

"Wow, Sanji-Kun, you are so fast." Vivi who was watching over the sparring match couldn't help but feel amazed at his results.

"Don't worry, Vivi-Chan! I will always be there to help you." Sanji started fawning over her while she felt like she made a mistake saying that.

"I was also fast, ya know." Liam pouted when nobody praised him but suddenly, he felt a cold glare from the side.

"You want some admiration, Liam?" Nami asked with a gentle expression but Liam could feel the threat coming out of that tone.

"No, no, I was just feeling about after losing." Liam shook his head frantically. He wasn't going to be an idiot to accept it so easily.

"You have already improved so much in the span of a month and you still aren't satisfied. Do you want us to live in the stone?" Sanji lit up his cigarette and asked.

"I don't understand that metaphor." Liam shook his head.

"I just said whatever came to my mind. You have already improved so much. If I hadn't trained my legs, I would've lost against you with ease." Sanji replied.

"You are right. Well, we are already inside the forest. Shouldn't we explore?" Liam asked.

"Liam, look out!" Nami shouted as she pointed her fingers at the sky.

Liam instantly jumped and swing his body. His feet kicked the neck of that bird and smashed it to the ground.

"Is that a lizard?" Luffy asked.

"Maybe a bird?"

"That looks like a dinosaur though."

"Maybe a bird dinosaur."

"You mean dragon?"

"But, no matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like a dragon."

At this moment, Luffy and Liam were constantly staring at the bird and drool was running down their mouth.

"Sanji, Barbecue!"

Both of them roared at the same time and looked at each other.

"Hahahahaha!" "Shishishishi!"

"Jeez! Why are you so hungry when you just eat something?" Nami looked at Liam with a sigh and asked.

"But, I fought against Zoro and you. I am tired." Liam exhaustedly spoke.

Bam!

"Don't make a fake expression!" Nami smacked his face and shouted.

Liam who was thrashed into the ground stood up and said "But, don't you get hungry when you see the food? Isn't that right, Luffy?"

Luffy made a serious expression and nodded his head.

"Yes, you must get hungry when you see the food."

"And, that's now how the biology works." Nami screamed at them.

"Nami-San, don't waste your breath! Those two won't stop drooling." Sanji jumped into the land and walked near the bird.

'Jeez! I am worried about the future. How am I going to sustain the family with his hunger.'

When this thought ran into her mind, she suddenly turned red.

'Oh my god! How come I am thinking so far into the future? We haven't even gotten together.'

Nami put her hands around her face and sneaked a peak at Liam but Liam was simply staring at the bird while Sanji had already started cooking. Seeing this, she sighed.

'Do I lack so much even against the dead bird?'

'No, no, no, it's just that bird is going to be food. That's all...… That doesn't make me feel good. Why am I comparing myself to food?'

Nami screamed inside her mind but didn't let it out.

"Liam-kun, if you are that hungry, you can keep some snacks so that you can eat it whenever you want to eat them." Vivi walked closer to Liam and spoke.

"Hmm….. You aren't wrong. I should keep some food as a snack. But, I am afraid my captain will eat it before even I could open it." Liam shook his head and sighed.

"That's correct! Luffy-Kun is just like you." Vivi smiled as she replied.

"The difference is that he won't be satisfied no matter how much he eats. On other hand, I only eat to sustain my calorie loss." Liam sighed.

Seeing their conversation, Nami felt a bit dangerous but she quickly shook her head.

'If I act conspicuous, it will only make barriers between crewmates. Besides, Liam likes me. He will eventually tell his feelings to me.'

"Liam, you should start drinking wine. It's full of calories." Zoro walked out of the room while holding weights as he spoke.

"Do you have some?" Liam asked.

Zoro shook his head.

"Then, why did you even mention it?" Liam speechlessly asked.

"Didn't you say those people will be here to take our head? How about we go and ask for wine from them?" Zoro smirked as he asked.

"That's not a bad idea but….." Liam's eyes fell at the food that was almost barbecued and shook his head.

"I will go there later."

"Well, I will go and ask for some wine then." Zoro said as he jumped from the ship.

"Zoro, wait!" Sanji suddenly shouted.

Zoro turned back as he looked at Sanji who continued "Our food stock will become empty soon. Can you go and bring some meat that is edible."

"Alright! I will bring back something that you can't catch." Zoro responded and walked ahead but Sanji shouted.

"Do you dare to repeat what you said?"

"I said I will bring back something that you can't catch." Zoro responded.

"Are you saying that I won't be able to catch something that you can catch?" Sanji's eyebrows twitched with anger as he asked.

"Did you get hit on your head?" Zoro asked.

"That's it! It's on. Whoever brings the most meat is the winner." Sanji snorted as he walked away from the barbecue.

Sniff! Sniff!

Liam's nose twitched when he smelled something burning.

"Shit! That meat is going to burn." Liam rushed down from the ship and instantly took out the meats from the flames.

Luffy also rushed toward the barbecue but instead of worrying about burnt, he was worried that Liam will finish everything on his own.

If Liam could hear his thoughts, he would've smacked Luffy on the head. Although he was slowly turning into gluttony, he will never eat everything by himself.

While they were having the barbecue party, they heard loud footsteps. Slowly, they all turned their heads at a certain distance at the same time. Except for Liam, everyone was shocked.

Their jaws were dropping to the ground when they saw the person in front of them. They couldn't even call him a person. He was a giant. He was so enormous that they look like baby monkeys in front of him.

"Gababababa! Are you guys having some sort of party? Do you have some wine?" The Giant looked at them and asked while laughing out loud.

"We don't have it. But, shouldn't you introduce yourself?" Liam shook his head and asked.

"Bagagagaga! My name is Brogy. I am the strongest warrior of Elbaf." Brogy laughed out loud as he introduced himself.

"Nuaaaa!"

Brogy suddenly screamed and everyone noticed a t-rex trying to bite his butt. Naturally, Brogy turned around and sliced the head of that t-rex. He put the T-rex body in front of Luffy and others while saying.

"Can you guys cook this as well?"

"Alright but let's not do it here. Do you have a place where you live?" Liam asked.

"Yes, I do." Brogy nodded his head and turned around.

Only after he turned around, did Nami clutch Liam's collars and shout.

"Why did you agree to go with him? That giant will eat us. We will be his food soon."

"Don't worry, he won't eat us. Besides, if we stay here, we won't able to explore this island." Liam calmed her down as he spoke.

"Ahh! That's right. I haven't gone for adventure." Luffy realized only after hearing Liam. He quickly packed his food and waved his hands at Liam.

"Liam, I will go for some adventure. I will meet you later."

"Luffy,-San wait!" Vivi shouted and packed some food for herself. She turned at Nami and said, "Nami-San, I will go with Luffy-San and explore this island."

Nami turned her head at Liam and almost moved to tears.

"Liam, let's leave with them. I don't want to be his meal.'

Liam sighed. He patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, he won't eat you. Don't you trust me!"

Hearing his words, Nami bit her lips and sighed.

"Alright, I will trust you."

Nami and Liam finally followed Brogy. At this moment, Usopp realized that he was the only one who hasn't gone anywhere.

"Hey guys, wait for me!" Usopp shouted as he rushed toward Liam. It was better to be with Liam even if they were following a giant. He didn't want to get eaten by t-rex.

Unlike Brogy, t-rex will bite his entire body, not his butt. After a few minutes of walking, Liam, Nami, and Usopp finally reached Brogy's place. It was a huge cave.

He took the t-rex in front of the cave and lit up the firewood. Then, he started roasting the t-rex, while looking at Liam.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, you guys have introduced yourself. Who are you?"
