"My name is Liam. She is Nami. He is Usopp. And, she is Valentine. Brogy-san, do you live alone on this island? I don't mean to count those dinosaurs." Liam asked after introducing everyone.
"Oh yeah! There is another giant living here. We are currently fighting for nearly one hundred years to determine who is the strongest." Brogy responded while chewing the meat.
"Fighting for a hundred years. Why?" Nami couldn't help but feel speechless. She raised her voice high as she asked.
"Why?"
Boom!
Suddenly, a giant volcano on the side exploded and Brogy stood up. He looked at them and said "Hundreds of years have passed. Reason? I have forgotten. Bagagagaga!"
Brogy walked toward the side where another giant was coming toward him.
"No reason? Why are they fighting if they can't even remember the reason?" Nami asked. She really didn't understand these giants' passion for battle.
Just when Liam wanted to explain, Usopp spoke first.
"It's no longer the reason that they want to fight. I believe they used to have some kind of rules where if you quarrel with someone, you must settle it with battle. Look! There aren't any other giants here."
"So, they must have come here from somewhere else to fight. But, since they seemed to be equally strong at the battle, they have been fighting for years now. And, slowly, they forget the reason."
"No, it's not that they forget. Now, it is a battle of pride."
Bang!
Suddenly, the ground beneath them shook and Usopp almost fell. He looked at their battles awestruck and said.
"What a battle! It's like they are fighting to kill each other in a single blow."
"Anyway Liam, let's get out of here. If we get involved in this battle, we will be crushed." Nami said as she turned around but when she turned back, she saw Liam and Usopp staring at the giants without even moving an inch.
"Hey, what are you waiting for?" Nami shouted.
"I can't move. This is the battle between men." Usopp shouted at her.
"Nami, there is a reason why we can't move. We are pirates. Our Jolly Roger means more than our lives. The same goes for them. Their pride is like a flat. They don't want that flag to be broken or torn apart."
"So, to protect it, they have been fighting for hundred years now." Liam spoke as he tried to explain it to Nami.
"You should give up. When it comes to pride, the boys are just like that." Valentine sneered as she sat down. Nami also sighed and sat down.
"This is the true battle between warriors. I am going to stay here longer and watch. I went out to the sea to become the Brave Warrior. I want to be just like them." Usopp had a strange charm on his face as he proudly states his dream.
"Huh! You want to be giants like them?" Nami asked.
"Oi, Oi, that's not what I meant." Usopp couldn't help but get angry at her tone.
"Aren't you going to watch it? Look, you will miss." Nami pointed her finger at the battle and spoke.
Usopp turned around and looked at the battle, muttering.
"If there is a village filled with people like them, I would love to visit it."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Brogy and Dorry collided a few times and eventually, both of them smirk at the same time.
"73466 fights and 73466 draws"
"Bagagagaga! Dorry, I should go. I have some guests who look a lot better than any other people we have met."
"Gegyaygyagyagya! I also have some guests unfortunately they don't have any wine."
Both of them stood up and went their separate ways.
"Huh! Liam, where are you going?" Usopp looked at Liam who was leaving and asked.
"You guys stay here. You would be safe since there are a lot of those monsters around. I want to stroll around the island." Liam said as he left while waving his hand.
"Jeez! Why is he always like this?" Nami sighed with exhaustion.
"Bagagagaga! I just found out that some of your friends are with Dorry. There was one human boy, one human girl, and a duck." Brogy spoke as he walked to his seat.
"Oh! It must be Luffy and Vivi." Nami instantly realized who they are and responded.
"By the way, why did your friend go?" Brogy didn't find Liam and get surprised.
"He has gone to stroll around the island. Anyway Brogy-San, do you know long will it take for Log Pose to get reset?" Nami asked while pointing at her Log Pose.
"Oh, that thing! Bagagagaga! It takes a whole year." Brogy laughed as he answered but his answer made three of them stunned and desperate.
.......
"Hmm ….. If I am not wrong, Mr.3 and Miss Golden Week should be here. I am pretty sure they are planning against us. Well, I would love to take care of them but I am more excited about their headquarters."
"I wonder if I can find Sanji there." Liam walked toward the middle of the island. He correctly doesn't remember the path but he was sure that place was somewhere in the middle.
After walking for a few minutes, he eventually heard a loud impact. He turned around and shook his head.
"My crew is far stronger than in the original. They should be able to fight against those clowns without any problem."
......…
On another side of the forest,
"If that's the case, then I would need to shut you down." Luffy stared at the giant who was injured from inside and spoke. There was visible anger coming from his eyes.
The giant swung his sword toward Luffy but Luffy easily dodged it. He stretched his leg and swing it around the giant's neck. He stretched out his hands and caught a mountain nearby.
Bang!
He pulled the giant to the ground. But, the giant quickly stood up and managed to smash Luffy with his forearm. He directly implanted Luffy into the ground but Luffy quickly got up.
He looked at the giant and said "I know this is a matter of pride but you got injured because of someone else. I won't let you fight. This might hurt you a bit but it will knock you down for sure."
Luffy raised his hand and infused a bit of air into his arm. His arm expanded but the next moment, he used Tekkai to contract his muscles. It got a bit smaller but it still looks big enough.
Suddenly, Luffy's leg contracted. Before his contracted leg could touch the ground, it stretched out once again and his body simply moved like spring.
It was a new move he created from Soru. Instead of kicking the ground ten times, he thought of contracting the leg and then kicking it once at his full power in less than a second.
Bang!
His body flew toward the giant and before he could make a move, Luffy pulled his punch as he reached in front of the Giant. He released the contraction and at this moment, the force generated at his fist simply soared.
"Gomu-Gomu No- Kong Fist!"
Bang!
The punch simply forced Dorry to fly for a few seconds before falling to the ground unconscious.
"Luffy!" When Luffy landed on the ground, Vivi rushed toward him with an anxious expression.
"Who did this?" Luffy's expression was filled with anger.
Vivi was shocked to see this.
'They just met so why? Why does he worry about the giant so much?'
At this moment, Luffy and Vivi rushed toward Brogy but suddenly, they found Dorry slowly standing up. Luffy was shocked to see this. He turned back but he didn't expect Dorry to suddenly use a giant wood to press Luffy.
"I think I rushed into a conclusion. You aren't the one who did that but I still have to fight. I am a proud warrior of Elbaf. My carelessness won't get into my way of battle."
Dorry dragged his injured body toward Brogy. At this moment, Luffy used all of his power to lift the giant tree but it was still heavy for him. Until he succeeds, Dorry had already started fighting against Brogy.
"WHO DID THIS? SHOW YOURSELF!"
Luffy roared.
Hearing this roar, Liam who was still searching for Mr.3's hideout felt strange.
"Wait, if he hasn't gone there yet that means I can still find him, right? Well, I really wanted to smash that scumbag anyway." Liam muttered and ran around.
He wanted to find them faster.
At the same time, Usopp eventually found Luffy and Vivi while Valentine was approached by a certain person.
"Miss Valentine, it seems like you are enjoying your time with those guys." The person who visited her was none other than Mr.3. Next to him, there was a small child and Mr.5.
"Took you long enough! Did Boss send you?" Valentine spoke with an indifferent expression as she asked.
"Yes, but not to save you." Mr.3 let out a big grin and said.
"But, to kill you."
