Raja had been secretly observing the island's unexpected guests—the Baroque Works villains—who had set a nefarious plan in motion targeting the giants. Unknown to the crew, these villains had tampered with the alcohol intended for the giants, intending to weaken them. Raja, having recently obtained a powerful Devil Fruit, had safely stashed it in his inventory for a better time, focusing instead on how to protect both the Straw Hats and the giants without drawing attention to himself.
As Nami and Usopp kept watch near the Going Merry, their nerves were on edge, twitching at every sound in the dense jungle around them. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, trees snapping as if something enormous was forcing its way toward them. In an instant, both went pale, clutching each other, fearing the worst as the towering figure of a giant emerged from the forest.
"Hey, little ones!" boomed the giant in a surprisingly friendly tone. "Do you have any… alcohol?"
Nami blinked, her fear momentarily replaced by confusion. "Uh… alcohol? Well, the only kind we have is for cooking and… disinfection." She held up a small bottle, which the giant looked at with disappointment.
Raja, hiding nearby, stifled a laugh. He could see that the giant wasn't as terrifying as he'd first appeared, though Nami and Usopp were clearly not convinced.
Just then, a deafening roar pierced the air, followed by the sight of a massive T. rex barreling toward the giant. Before Nami or Usopp could react, the T. rex lunged, clamping its jaws onto the giant's leg.
"Graaah!" the giant bellowed, pain flashing across his face. But with a mighty swing of his weapon, he swiftly sliced the T. rex's head clean off, sending it tumbling to the ground.
As he wiped the sweat off his brow, the giant grinned at Nami and Usopp, introducing himself proudly. "I am Brogy, the strongest warrior of Elbaph!"
Nami and Usopp, still terrified, promptly dropped to the ground, playing dead in hopes of avoiding further interaction. Brogy just chuckled, taking it as an odd form of greeting from his tiny guests.
Elsewhere, Luffy and Vivi were also exploring, delighted by the unusual sights of Little Garden. Luffy had somehow climbed atop a Brachiosaurus, declaring it the best place for a picnic. But the dinosaur, unamused, swung its neck, sending Luffy tumbling down, right into the path of another giant who caught him mid-fall.
The new giant introduced himself as Dorry, Brogy's lifelong rival. Grinning down at the smaller humans, Dorry said, "Welcome, guests! Come, I'll show you my home."
Luffy, in his usual friendly fashion, introduced himself, Vivi, and Karoo, and the group happily followed Dorry deeper into the jungle.
Back at Brogy's side, Nami and Usopp were struggling to figure out a way to escape. Despite Brogy's hospitality, their nerves were frayed; they couldn't shake the feeling that they were just one wrong move away from becoming dinner.
As they attempted a stealthy retreat, Brogy glanced over his shoulder, watching with amusement as they tiptoed through the jungle, only to be chased right back to his feet by various carnivorous beasts lurking in the shadows. The two exhausted crewmates gave up, realizing that Brogy's company might be safer than the island itself.
Meanwhile, as Luffy and Vivi settled in at Dorry's makeshift camp, the giant began to recount his and Brogy's longstanding duel. "For a hundred years, we've fought each other," he said solemnly. "It's a warrior's duty—until one of us claims victory."
Luffy's eyes sparkled with admiration, captivated by Dorry's passion and the endless nature of his challenge. Even Vivi, though concerned by the giants' intense lifestyle, couldn't deny the respect she felt for Dorry's devotion to his ideals.
Unbeknownst to the Straw Hats and the giants, Mr. 5, Miss Valentine, Mr. 3, and Miss Goldenweek were hidden in the shadows, whispering of their plan. They aimed to take advantage of the giants' loyalty to their traditions, hoping to use the bounty on their heads for financial gain. Raja, hidden nearby, overheard their plans and realized he had to step in before things got out of hand.
Back at Brogy's camp, Usopp was watching the giants in awe. The dedication and strength they displayed in their endless duel inspired him deeply. He approached Brogy, his eyes shining with admiration. "Master!" he declared, surprising himself as much as Brogy. "I want to be as strong as you someday!"
Brogy chuckled, patting Usopp on the back so hard it nearly knocked him over. "Strength isn't something you earn easily, little one. But with heart, anyone can become a warrior."
As if on cue, the volcano at the heart of Little Garden erupted, signaling the time for another duel. Brogy and Dorry, invigorated by their ritual, prepared to clash once more. Their mighty weapons swung, and the island trembled with each strike, but once again, their duel ended in a draw. Both giants sat back, panting heavily, though neither seemed disappointed by the lack of a clear victor.
After the duel, Brogy presented Dorry with two barrels of alcohol, generously shared by Nami and Usopp, who wanted to offer a token of friendship. Dorry, deeply touched, eagerly accepted the gift, raising a toast to his friend and rival.
Raja watched closely, knowing that the barrels had been tampered with. Dorry took a hearty swig from one, but within moments, his face contorted in agony. He dropped the barrel, clutching his stomach, and glared at Nami and Usopp with a mixture of betrayal and fury.
"You… you poisoned me?" Dorry roared, raising his massive fist in anger.
Before the crew could react, Luffy leaped in front of his friends, preparing to defend them. "We didn't do anything!" he shouted, his eyes fierce with determination. "If you want to fight, then I'll take you on!"
With Dorry weakened and blinded by anger, he swung wildly at Luffy, who dodged and countered with a powerful punch to Dorry's chin, sending the giant tumbling backward. The battle was brief but intense, ending with Dorry falling unconscious.
Raja stepped forward, deciding it was time to intervene. Using his magic, he nullified the effects of the poison, healing Dorry's injuries. As he worked, he noticed a faint, smoky residue in the alcohol and realized it was indeed tampered by Baroque Works. He set the barrels aflame, ensuring no more poison remained.
12. The Explosive Trap (Unbeknownst to the Crew and Giants)
Though the immediate threat of the poison was dealt with, the explosive trap set by Baroque Works remained. Raja examined the remnants of the alcohol barrels and sensed another layer of danger. One of the barrels had been rigged with a subtle explosive, set to detonate upon impact. He acted quickly, using magic to dismantle the trap and render it harmless.
"Can't have that blowing up in anyone's face," he muttered, wiping his brow.
As the volcano erupted once more, signaling the next duel, Dorry slowly opened his eyes. Although weakened, his spirit remained unbroken. He rose to his feet, ready to continue the fight with Brogy, even though he knew his strength was limited.
Raja observed Dorry's resolve, feeling a sense of respect for the giant's dedication. "I've dealt with their tricks," he murmured to himself, satisfied that he'd neutralized the villains' schemes.
Having neutralized the immediate threat, Raja turned his attention to the Baroque Works agents. Stealthily, he approached their hidden spot in the jungle and, with a flick of his wrist, ensnared each of them in glowing magical binds. Before they could resist, he tightened the bonds, sealing their abilities and rendering them powerless.
"Your plan's over," he said with a smirk, stepping into their view. "You're no match for Elbaph's warriors—or me."
Mr. 3 and his team struggled, their attempts to escape futile against Raja's magic. Satisfied, he secured them in a magical barrier, ensuring they'd stay out of trouble until they could be properly dealt with.
With the villains safely contained, Raja returned to the giants, who were finishing their latest duel with an air of camaraderie, laughing as they nursed their bruises. Dorry approached Luffy and the crew, having recovered from the poison thanks to Raja's intervention." I apologize for my aggression, Thank you for Healing me " Luffy with evergreen smile nodded.
Brogy and Dorry asked what happens to Mr. 3 and his Crew , But Raja smiled evilly this caused shivers on the back of villain group.

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
The Straw Hat crew found themselves in a strange and unprecedented situation as they looked around the makeshift arena Raja had prepared in the heart of Little Garden. Raja had gathered the captured members of Baroque Works, bound and defiant, to put on a show—a fierce tournament to prove the strength and resolve of the crew and settle scores. The jungle setting seemed to revel in the excitement, with colossal trees looming like ancient spectators, and the ground rumbling beneath each step.
Raja stood at the center of the clearing, hands raised. "Welcome, Straw Hats and captives alike! Today, we have a test of strength, skill, and spirit. A tournament! The winner is decided by victory or surrender—no killing."
The crew exchanged glances, a mix of excitement and readiness gleaming in their eyes. Raja continued, "Each of you will face off against one of the Baroque Works agents. The battles will test your limits and help you awaken hidden abilities. Are you ready?"
A loud cheer erupted from Luffy, who grinned eagerly. "Let's do this! I'm fired up!"
Zoro, calm but intrigued, eyed the bound prisoners, sizing up his first opponent: Mr. 3, the wax-manipulating devil fruit user.
Round One: Zoro vs. Mr. 3
The crowd of spectators was small, but the tension was immense as Zoro stepped forward to face Mr. 3, who sneered, his eyes glinting with malice.
"Roronoa Zoro… You think you can cut through my wax? It's harder than steel," Mr. 3 taunted, forming a wax sculpture with a flick of his hand. The structure gleamed in the sunlight, hard and unyielding.
Zoro's gaze hardened, his hands steady as he gripped his swords. "Let's see if your wax is as tough as you say."
With a quick movement, Zoro lunged forward, slashing at Mr. 3's wax barrier, but his swords bounced off, unable to pierce through. Mr. 3 laughed mockingly, forming more wax structures to corner Zoro, creating a maze of solid, steel-like wax walls that Zoro struggled to navigate.
"You can't cut it, can you?" Mr. 3 taunted from behind one of his sculptures, creating towering walls that loomed over Zoro, nearly blocking out the sky.
Frustration built in Zoro's chest, but he steadied himself, remembering his training. Breathe, he told himself. He closed his eyes, focusing on the environment around him, listening to the heartbeat of the jungle, feeling the movement of air around him. It was then he heard it—a faint, almost imperceptible sound within the wax. It was as if the wax itself had a rhythm, a life force.
Zoro's eyes snapped open, and he could suddenly sense everything around him in sharp clarity. It was as if the world had slowed down, and he could see the flow of energy through the wax. He could feel the Breath of All Things.
With newfound focus, Zoro raised his swords and moved forward, his strike almost graceful. His blade passed through the wax as if it were mere air, slicing it cleanly in two. Mr. 3's expression shifted from confidence to shock as Zoro advanced, cutting down each of his wax barriers with ease.
"Time to end this," Zoro declared, his eyes blazing as he closed in on Mr. 3, his swords ready to strike.
But before he could land the final blow, Raja stepped forward with a grin. "That's enough, Zoro. Victory is yours."
Zoro grunted, sheathing his swords with a satisfied smirk as Mr. 3 collapsed to his knees, trembling.
Round Two: Sanji vs. Mr. 5
Sanji rolled up his sleeves, eyes on Mr. 5, the explosive devil fruit user who stood smugly, already prepping his explosive attacks. The air crackled with tension as the two combatants sized each other up.
"Let's dance, Mr. Bomb," Sanji taunted, lighting a cigarette and exhaling a puff of smoke.
Mr. 5 launched an explosive punch, his fist erupting in flames. Sanji dodged swiftly, retaliating with a fierce kick that narrowly missed Mr. 5's head. The battle turned into a fast-paced blur, Sanji ducking and weaving around explosions, each one coming closer than the last.
As he fought, Sanji found his body moving faster than he expected, his feet nearly gliding over the ground. He pushed off, feeling a surge of speed he hadn't experienced before, a rapid burst that allowed him to close the gap in an instant. Without realizing it, he was moving with the speed of a technique called "Shave," a high-speed movement used by advanced fighters.
In one swift motion, Sanji appeared behind Mr. 5 and delivered a powerful kick to his back, sending him sprawling to the ground, unable to keep up with the cook's newfound agility.
Mr. 5 groaned, defeated, as Sanji took a triumphant drag from his cigarette, barely breaking a sweat. "That's what happens when you mess with the Straw Hats."
Round Three: Usopp and Nami vs. Miss Goldenweek and Miss Valentine
Next, Usopp and Nami faced off against Miss Goldenweek and Miss Valentine in a two-on-two match. Miss Goldenweek painted with her special colors, creating psychological traps, while Miss Valentine floated above, dropping down with bone-crushing force.
"Usopp, we have to be smart!" Nami shouted, dodging one of Miss Valentine's crushing attacks. The ground cracked beneath her feet as Miss Valentine landed, sending debris flying.
Usopp loaded his slingshot, firing a pepper star at Miss Goldenweek, causing her to cough and wipe her eyes. "We've got this, Nami! We just need to keep moving!"
With a quick plan, the two Straw Hats coordinated their attacks. Nami used her Clima-Tact to create mirages and lightning clouds, disorienting their opponents, while Usopp sniped from a distance. After a chaotic and intense fight, they managed to knock out both Miss Goldenweek and Miss Valentine, leaving them lying in defeat.
Raja's Mercy and Departure
With the tournament complete and the Baroque Works agents thoroughly defeated, Raja stepped forward, using his powers to partially heal their injuries. He looked down at the beaten agents and handed them a log pose, allowing them a swift escape from Little Garden.
"You're free to go," Raja said sternly. "Use this log pose and leave the island. Consider it a second chance."
The defeated agents looked at each other, unsure but grateful, and hurried away with the log pose in hand, eager to escape Little Garden and the wrath of the Straw Hats.
Luffy's Challenge with the Giants
As the rest of the crew watched the villains flee, Luffy's eyes lit up with excitement. He turned to the two giants, Dorry and Brogy, a huge grin on his face. "Hey! Can you two show me how to be stronger? I wanna learn!"
The giants exchanged a glance and laughed, Dorry booming, "All right, little one! Let's see if you can withstand our strength!"
The giants began to demonstrate their immense power, swinging their colossal weapons, each swing sending tremors through the ground. Luffy, grinning from ear to ear, leapt forward, dodging and weaving between their attacks. Each movement was a test, each strike a lesson in strength and resilience.
After a grueling bout, the giants patted Luffy on the back, impressed with his determination. "You've got spirit, little warrior," Brogy said with a grin.
Luffy laughed, barely able to stand, but beaming with pride. "Thanks, you guys! I'll remember this!"
Farewell Gifts and Preparations
Before they departed, Raja gathered a large cache of gifts for Dorry and Brogy. Barrels of wine, fresh weapons, and a note awaited the giants, urging them to return to Elbaf, where their kin awaited them. The giants, touched by the kindness, nodded in gratitude.
"Thank you, friends," Dorry said, his voice thick with emotion. "We will never forget you."
With one last look at the giants, the crew made their way to the Going Merry. Raja handed Vivi the Eternal Pose, a direct route to Arabasta. Vivi clutched it tightly, a gleam of hope in her eyes as she looked out to the horizon.
Dorry and Brogy's Final Goodbye
As the crew boarded, a dark shadow loomed in the water. The Island Eater, a massive sea creature with jaws wide enough to swallow a ship whole, surfaced, preparing to feast on the Going Merry.
Dorry and Brogy shared a look, determination hardening their faces. With a fierce roar, they lifted their axes, battered but mighty. "For our friends!" they shouted in unison, charging toward the Island Eater.
Their axes gleamed as they swung, each strike fueled by decades of rivalry, friendship, and the promise to protect those they cared about. With one final, mighty swing, the giants brought down their axes, slicing through the beast's massive form. The creature let out a final cry before sinking back into the depths.
The crew cheered, their voices echoing across the waves as Dorry and Brogy raised their axes high, their faces filled with pride and triumph.
Setting Sail for Arabasta
With the Island Eater defeated, the crew set their sights on the open sea. The Going Merry's sails billowed as they prepared to set sail with the Eternal Pose in hand, guiding them toward their next adventure.
Dorry and Brogy waved from the shore, their massive forms growing smaller as the crew sailed off. Their voices echoed in farewell, a final promise to meet again someday.
As Little Garden faded into the distance, the Straw Hats stood on the deck, each of them a little stronger, a little wiser, and more united than ever, ready for the journey to Arabasta and whatever challenges lay ahead.
