Two Against One
Dorry and Brogy fought from dusk till night, until both were exhausted and panting, but the battle remained evenly matched.
Finally, after both of them were exhausted and unable to fight, they had no choice but to give up again.
"Another draw, as expected."
Yamato, who had witnessed the entire battle, shook his head Yamato said.
"Of course it will only be a draw."
Jack gave a soft snort.
They've been fighting for a hundred years; if a winner could be decided, it would have been decided long ago.
The two giants were too evenly matched; neither of them had the ability to determine a winner.
Therefore, some external intervention is needed at this time.
Sirius walked up casually, chuckling as he said, "If things continue like this, no matter how many more battles we have, we'll never be able to determine a winner."
"We know about this kind of thing too,"
Brogy struggled to sit up, and said with a hint of helplessness, "But a battle that has lasted for a hundred years has to come to an end."
"Perhaps when we get old and frail, someone will be the first to show their weakness," Dorry added.
"The maximum lifespan of the Giant Tribe is probably around three hundred and fifty years."
Sirius couldn't help but shake his head. "Are you planning to fight here for another two hundred years?"
These two guys should still be considered young and middle-aged among the Giant Tribe, maybe around 150 or 160 years old.
If we want to wait until we are truly old and frail and our weaknesses are exposed, we will have to wait at least another 150 or 160 years.
"To be born in battle, and to die in battle—isn't that wonderful?"
Brogy said with a smile.
Dorry nodded in agreement.
They didn't seem to feel any pain or helplessness because of this kind of life.
Giant Tribe are inherently driven by a thirst for battle.
"I have a suggestion. Since your strengths are so evenly matched, and a simple duel is no longer enough to determine a winner, let's change the form of the duel."
That's what Sirius said.
"Kindness?"
Brogy paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Duel is sacred. Only the clash of strength and weapons can demonstrate the glory of us Giant Tribe!"
Dorry replied earnestly, "Thank you for your concern, my friend, but as Brogy said, duels are sacred and inviolable, and we cannot transform a solemn duel into anything else."
They believed that Sirius intended to use some strange game to determine a winner.
"You've misunderstood. Ultimately, a duel is just a way to determine who's stronger."
Sirius laughed and said, "Then even if we change the method, as long as we can identify the stronger one among you, won't the final result be the same?"
The two giants paused for a moment, then exchanged a confused glance.
"Is that so?" Dorry scratched his head.
"Something seems off, but then again, what he said makes a lot of sense."
Brogy blinked, looking confused.
The current situation is indeed such that no matter how persistently they continue their battle, it's impossible to determine who is stronger or weaker.
Sirius,
Dorry couldn't help but ask, "How do you intend to determine who is stronger?"
"It's very simple," Sirius replied. "Come and fight me. Whoever performs better will naturally be the stronger one."
"Fight you?"
The two giants were both startled at the same time.
They couldn't help but glance at Sirius.
He certainly looked like an ordinary human being, nothing special except for his handsome appearance.
"My friend, are you serious?" Brogy couldn't help but ask. "You say you want to fight us? We're Giant Tribe, you know!"
Giant Tribe are naturally stronger than humans, a strength that far surpasses that of Fish-Man Race.
The average strength of the Fish-Man Race is only ten times that of humans, while the Giant Tribe may be hundreds or thousands of times greater.
"You don't need to worry about that,"
Sirius chuckled and said, "I'm quite confident in my strength."
He acted very modestly, because it would be a bit awkward to praise himself.
"Sirius is very strong."
Yamato said, "He's one of the Pirate Emperor, you know."
"Pirate Emperor?"
Dorry blinked, indicating that he had never heard of the term before.
Yamato didn't know how to explain it either, so he could only say, "Anyway, it's really amazing."
"I see." Brogy nodded, seemingly understanding.
"Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well give it a try."
Sirius said, "Even if you're not satisfied, you can still continue fighting."
The two giants exchanged a glance, then turned their heads simultaneously. Dorry smiled and said...
"Our friends have gone to such lengths for us, so what reason is there to refuse?"
Brogy said, "Then let us see your power, my friend!"
"Excellent!"
Sirius nodded with pleasure.
"However, it's too late now, and you're all exhausted from the battle. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
The giants agreed.
Then the next day arrived quickly.
After a quick and easy breakfast, Sirius's battle with the two giants was about to begin.
"So, Sirius, how do you plan to fight?"
Dorry, carrying his greatsword, asked earnestly.
Brogy stood beside him, his giant axe already in his hand.
Now that a battle has been involved, it can no longer be treated like a banquet; both giants are clearly taking this seriously.
"How about the two of you come together?"
Sirius laughed and said, "That way, it will be immediately clear who performs better and who performs worse in battle."
"Hey, Dorry, are we being looked down upon by our friends?"
Brogy scratched his head, still somewhat troubled.
"No matter what, it's like one against two --"
That's incredibly disrespectful.
"That's really going too far."
On the other side, Luo, who was watching the battle, shook his head helplessly.
But it wasn't the two giants who were bullying him, but his captain.
They had clearly seen the strength of these two giants; they were indeed very powerful, but that was only in comparison to ordinary pirates.
"Since Sirius said so, he must be confident!"
Dorry took a deep breath and said seriously, "Let's give it a try!"
"Then let's go!"
Brogy roared, his massive body charging forward, his enormous axe already cleaving down towards Sirius.
It's clear they take this battle very seriously.
Then Sirius raised his right hand.
When!
With a dull thud, the giant axe was sent flying, Brogy stumbled backward before finally regaining his footing.
"What?"
His eyes widened.
