"Hm?"
On the Golden Merry, Roman also noticed the two figures in the jungle through the paper crane in the sky. But then:
Rumble!
As a volcano at the center of the island erupted with lava, it was like the tolling of a bell for a duel! On Little Garden, two towering figures, one on the left and one on the right, strode toward each other with swords, shields, and axes in hand.
The many beasts living on the island, even the dinosaurs, scattered in all directions! Before these two giant warriors, even the ancient rulers of the land were merely food, while the towering jungle was nothing more than weeds at their feet! As the two giants swiftly closed in, they took up their stances. Their eyes met, filled with nothing but burning battle lust!
"Ah!!"
"Ha—!"
Clang!!!
The huge yet battered sword and axe smashed fiercely together. Amid the sky-piercing clash of metal, a savage shockwave swept across the battlefield like a gale! Centered on the two giants, countless trees and plants bent low and snapped with cracking sounds, then exploded into splinters that shot in every direction!
Yet this was merely the unconscious aftershock of their battle.
"Puhahaha, is your sword so limp because you've started missing home?"
Faced with the bearded giant's taunt, the long-bearded giant answered with booming laughter.
"Gahahaha, that's why I'll defeat you and return to Elbaf!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every collision of the two giants' weapons was like heaven and earth collapsing! Forget a mere human body of flesh and blood—even an iron warship would only last a few seconds before them!

They had fought for a hundred years. They were too familiar with each other's attacks, defenses, techniques, and personalities. It was as if they could clearly picture one another
