Rojen's mouth twitched, unsure of how to respond. He scanned the basement a few times, but all he found was a small pile of treasure. 

Based on his experience from these recent "borrowings" from pirate crews, this meager stash was worth at least 10 Million berries! 

"Madness, over 10 Million, and this guy is still so poor!" Rojen scoffed. Even 10 Million felt heavy to carry. 

Striding forward, he addressed the system directly. 

"System, deposit this treasure into my balance." 

"A total of 11 Million berries has been deposited. Host's current balance is 231 Million berries." 

Hearing that amount, Rojen's expression brightened a bit. 

Forget it; even a mosquito is meat, so he wouldn't quibble over it. 

Taking another look at the giant sitting cross-legged on the ground, shackled hand and foot, with his head bowed, Rojen pursed his lips and prepared to leave. 

This guy was truly massive, standing at least 2.5 meters tall, with thick limbs. Sitting alone in the basement, he occupied nearly two-thirds of the space, like a living tower. 

Just sitting there, this giant was already up to Rojen's waist. His bare arms and upper body were solid muscle, resembling granite— visually striking, to say the least. 

"What kind of hormones did he consume to grow so strong?" 

With a hint of envy, Rojen glanced at the giant before turning to leave. 

At that moment, the giant raised his head, and the chains clinked noisily. Rojen noticed that the giant was bound by numerous chains, tangled and wrapped around his body, covering about three-fifths of him, leaving only the area above his chest unbound. 

"Did... did you save me?" 

"Save you?" 

Rojen was completely baffled. He was just here to take the treasure, not to rescue anyone. 

"Thank you! Could you help me untie these chains?" 

The giant's voice was weak. Rojen noticed the giant's pale face and dry lips, as if he hadn't had food or water for a long time. 

However, Rojen didn't refuse; it was a simple task. 

With a swift motion, he unsheathed Rainbow Abyss, and in a flash, sparks flew as the chains around the giant's body shattered into pieces. 

"Alright, you can get up now." 

Rojen pursed his lips, ready to leave. The giant's muscles were too enviable. 

"Please wait! Could you help me cut this seastone-infused rope on my hands?" 

"Just aim for the part that's not seastone; it's easy to break." 

The giant extended his hands, revealing thick wrists bound by a rope at least five centimeters in diameter. 

Seeing this, Rojen's mouth twitched. 

"Damn it, such a thick rope! Who is this guy to be treated so seriously by those weaklings?" 

A hint of gravity appeared in his eyes. This hulking figure was bound with seastone. While it wasn't pure seastone handcuffs, the layers of iron ropes around his body, along with the ones on his wrists, indicated that this giant was no ordinary person. 

This guy was also a Devil Fruit User!

With a wave of his hand, the sword flashed again, accurately severing the rope. The giant's hands were freed, and the seastone rope broke instantly. 

Slowly pulling off the chains from his body, the giant attempted to stand, but he was too weak and swayed, sitting back down again. 

"Boom!" 

The basement shook. Rojen's eyes widened. How heavy was this guy? Just the force of him sitting down could rattle the entire ship. 

"Sorry, I haven't eaten or drunk water for a month. I really have no strength." 

"A month!?" 

"Miē miē miē?" 

"Are you kidding me?!" 

Rojen stared at the giant in shock, utterly unable to believe it. 

How could someone survive for a month without food or water? 

"Could you carry me out? I need to replenish my food and water." 

The giant was very polite. Rojen couldn't bring himself to refuse and finally bent down, signaling for the giant to climb on. 

"Get on." 

The giant grinned, his smile somewhat awkward but genuine. As he lay on Rojen's shoulder, Rojen suddenly felt his body sink. 

"You're really heavy! How much do you weigh?" 

Rojen couldn't help but complain. 

"Probably around 400 to 500 pounds." The giant replied sheepishly. 

"You should lose some weight." Rojen rolled his eyes, speechless. 

The giant looked embarrassed. His body was impressive, just with a large frame. 

Carrying the hefty giant out of the basement, they emerged onto the deck, where the scattered corpses of pirates lay. The giant's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Rojen with surprise. 

"I'll go find you some food." 

After saying that, Rojen headed into the kitchen. 

After a while, Rojen returned with food in hand. 

The giant's mouth was clearly watering; he had been hungry for far too long. 

"Is there any water?" Stuffing food into his mouth, the giant asked without looking up. 

"Thud!" 

Rojen placed two jars of wine on the deck, gesturing. 

"No water, but there are still two jars of wine." 

The giant was taken aback, then grinned. 

"Wine can also quench thirst!" 

He grabbed a jar of wine with one hand, lifted it, and poured it into his mouth. 

Rojen's eyes twitched. Damn, this guy really drank wine like water. 

And most importantly, Rojen's pupils contracted. This guy's recovery speed was astonishing!

Just moments ago, he was too weak to move, but after a few bites, he could already lift a jar of wine that was half his height. 

After eating for a full hour, the giant finally let out a satisfied sigh, calling it a day and stopping his endless feasting. 

"I am full! That was fantastic!" 

"Hā hā hā!" 

Laughing heartily, the giant stood up, looking down at Rojen, and extended his large hand. 

"Thank you, kid. My name is Jason Statham. Thank you for saving me!" 

"Uh, Rojen." 

Rojen shook Jason's hand, but inside, he was rolling his eyes. 

Jason Statham?! 

If he remembered correctly, there was a famous actor with that name in his previous life, right? 

"I have nowhere to go. Since you saved me, let me protect you from now on!" Jason grinned again, beaming at Rojen. 

"Protect me?" Rojen raised an eyebrow, skeptical. 

"Don't worry, I'm very strong. Protecting you is no problem." 

Flexing his fist, which was the size of a sandbag, Jason grinned again. 

Then, as if to prove his strength, he glanced at the pirate corpses on the ground, disdain evident in his expression. 

"I can take on ten thousand of guys like them!" 

He then sheepishly added to Rojen, "You just need to feed me." 

As a reminder, he added, "I can eat a lot!"
