"Gegyagyagya! You're so fun little human, to think that you can even withstand that attack without you get unharmed!"
Rob smiled as he listened to Giant Dorry's praise.
When Rob came to Little Garden for the first time, he stayed hidden in the sky near the Battlefield of the Giants.
He was really impressed by the intensity of their fight, a slash full of swordsman's strength eventually flew out and Rob noticed it too late, its size was too big to be unavoidable, so he had to defend himself and reveal himself in the process.
The blue slash struck the Suragiri sword and sparks flew everywhere.
This incident on the side of their battlefield attracted the attention of Dory and Brogy, who stopped fighting and watched intently as the little human sliced Dory's powerful attack in two half.
They were so startled by this incident that they started to applaud the little friend's skill.
Rob then has got to know Brogy and Dorry and becomes their friend, as he is currently taking part in a feast of eating the roasted dinosaur meat Dorry had picked up.
Rob bought tons of vodka from the system shop which made the happy mood for both Brogy and Dorry and become happier.
This was the best kind of wine they had ever drunk.
Of course, it will be the best, as it is a modern wine treated with the latest technologies in the field of winemaking, unlike the backward wine of the world of One Piece.
Rob quickly devoured the delicious dinosaur meat before getting up and entering the savvy investor mode again.
"You guys, today I came to this island to set up my art store…"
Rob explained everything he needed to explain to these giants simply so that they could understand him.
He told them that they would be his customers from now on, as he would sell them the entertainment manga for a nominal price, but before that, he gave them a detailed explanation of the manga.
As for the source of the money, after all, Brogy and Dorry had a lot of hidden treasures on this island left by pirates and people who have been stuck here for 73 years since they came here so they won't have a problem with the lack of money.
He also told them that what he would sell them would be entertainment and much better than their usual fight.
The more Brogy and Dorry listen, the more excited they become, who doesn't want to be the size of a normal human and enjoy a new kind of entertainment?
They are tired of their monotonous lives for the seven decades they have lived here.
Although 7 decades does not mean much to the giants, it is still a long period.
After telling them everything they needed to know, Rob set up his new art store on a flat grassy plain between the two houses of the giants.
After he finished making minor adjustments to the store, Rob summoned Dorry and Brogy to enter.
As soon as Brogy and Dorry approached the perimeter of the art store, their bodies began to shrink to the size of a normal human.
Everything was surreal to the giants, after all, they were so used to their gigantic size and suddenly even the trees that were like grass to them before seemed even bigger than them.
"Gababababa! This feeling is amazing! I never thought that there would come a day when I could transform into a little human!"
Brogy laughed happily while trying to regain his balance as he nearly fell due to his mind not yet being accustomed to the shrinkage process.
"Gegyagyagya! I also hadn't thought of this before... What do you think, Brogy, that we fight in this case, such a small size? I think I'll still be the best! Gegyagya!"
When Rob saw that the two were really going to get into a fight, he quickly intervened to stop them, after all, he didn't have all the time to see another endless fight.
"You guys can fight later, your strength is still the same, only your size has shrunk, the effect of your fight will be devastating to the store, do you want to destroy your dream store?!"
Rob lied about destroying the store until he managed to convince them not to fight and as expected when they heard it they stopped right away.
...
Rob spent the rest of the day enjoying Dorry and Brogy's changing expressions and reactions while reading the One Piece manga volumes.
The Giants' enthusiasm for the story far outstripped even humans, they were a freedom-loving race after all.
At the end of the day, Rob became a close friend of the Giants and promised to visit them from time to time before using the art store's teleportation room to return to East Blue.
Exactly the Cocoyasi village art store.
After all, the volume he published was the Arlong Park Ark, most of which took place in Cocoyasi village!
Rob was sure that the people of Cocoyasi village didn't think of the One Piece story as a fantasy anymore.
Just like the residents of Foosha village, Orange town, and Syrup village.
The people who had seen themselves so far in the manga One Piece had a subconscious warning in their subconscious that what they saw in this book was what it would actually be like.
Just like the unnatural feeling of deja vu.
They all had the same feeling without exception, even the side characters who represented the villagers and mobs that appeared once had the same feeling.
The feeling was telling them that this is what they will be in the future!
I went through a lot of examples where the manga book predicted something and it did.
For example in Foosha village, the news of the birth of the beautiful innkeeper Makino had spread like wildfire throughout Dawn Island, even the people of Goa kingdom knew that Makino had already been born.
Baby Makino became like a treasure to the villagers of Foosha village, and this greatly eased the father's grief at the separation of his wife and made a little desire to live for the sake of his daughter to return to him.
The story of little Makino which she's showered with love by the villagers will keep waiting for another day!
...
The main reason Rob was sure that the people of Cocoyasi village would no longer consider the One Piece story as a fairy tale is that the art points given to him by those people who came to believe in the realism of the One Piece manga were much more than the points they provided before they believed in it.
For example, the art points that came from Bell-mère were over 500!
Previously, it had barely reached the 100 mark.
The same goes for all the residents of Cocoyasi village and some of the neighboring villages in the Conomi archipelago who are mentioned in the arc.
