"Blue Ogre" Dorry and "Red Ogre" Brogy had bounties of 100 million berries a century ago. There were not many Pirates back then, so being worth 100 million berries showed just how strong the two were.
Judging from their performance in the original story, they did not seem all that powerful. This was partly because the weapons Elbaf warriors depended on had become badly corroded and lost their sharpness, and partly because Elbaf warriors were famed primarily for their physical strength, which was not as visually overwhelming.
Though Elbaf warriors were strong, most of them shared the same weakness: they were too slow. Only the very strongest experts of the Giant Kingdom possessed strength, speed, and Haki in equal measure, making them national pillars of the Giant Kingdom!
"Wow, giants!" Kelly, Susanna, Sholmer, and the others cried out in excitement. This was their first time seeing living, breathing giants with their own eyes. What a sight!
"So these are the Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy, who have supposedly been dueling for over a century for the sake of some so-called warrior's honor. I've heard of them." Shiryu said with obvious disdain.
Shiryu had been born and raised in the first half of the Grand Line, and he had heard plenty of stories. He utterly disdained the idea of dueling for over a century for the sake of warrior's honor. It was a waste of time, a waste of life, and a pointless waste of the giants' lifespans, which were several times longer than those of ordinary humans.
Shiryu believed that the victor was king and the loser was scum; Carlos agreed. Hearing Shiryu's words, Carlos smiled. "Giants' minds are different from ordinary people's. Perhaps that is why the Giant Kingdom can stand at the pinnacle of the world..."
