Double Giants! The Showdown Between the Old and New Eras

Boom boom boom!

The volcano on the island is erupting violently.

The molten lava, accompanied by thick black smoke, shot into the sky.

The entire island was trembling slightly.

As if it were some kind of signal, the monsters that originally lived on the island—those dinosaurs from the ancient era—scattered in panic and fled in all directions, frantically trying to get away from the center of the island.

Because the real monster is about to appear.

With heavy footsteps, the dense forest was parted by a giant hand, the force of which even snapped the lush tree in half.

A round, mountain-sized monster strode toward the center of the island.

"Crack! Crack! Dorry! Are you ready?!"

"Hehehehehe! Brogy! This time, we must settle this once and for all!"

From the forest opposite, another enormous creature, equally large but appearing taller and thinner, also made its appearance, laughing loudly.

The moment their eyes meet is the moment the battle begins!

Clenching the round shield in his left hand, raising the weapon in his right, the clash occurred—

Whoosh!!

A sudden whistling sound came from the sky.

"What?"

The two enormous creatures simultaneously raised their heads in surprise.

In the sky, a monster much larger than the two of them was falling.

It was a giant goldfish, its body covered in wounds, as if it had been slashed by enormous swords.

"Island Eater?"

How could the two not recognize this monster that lurked outside the island?

For more than half a century, they have witnessed countless ships being swallowed up by this behemoth.

But how did this thing end up flying over here?

"Crackling sounds! Dorry! It seems like some very important guest has arrived!"

"Hehehehehe! I hope they brought some fine wine!"

"Before that, Dorry!"

"Understood, Brogy!"

The two enormous creatures simultaneously raised their shields and charged towards the colossal object that was falling from the sky like a meteorite.

"Barrier!" x2!

The two giants laughed loudly as their two small round shields simultaneously slammed into the head of a gigantic monster that was many times their size.

Despite the enormous difference in size, it was the giant sea monster that was knocked away.

The giant goldfish, hundreds of meters long, flew high like a ball, tracing a long trajectory over the island before crashing down on one side of the island with a thud. The residual force of the crash crushed an entire forest into fragments.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Before the guests arrive! Dorry! Buy it all!"

"Hehehehehe! This is what I wanted to say!!"

Without feeling any joy at having sent the giant sea monster flying with a single blow, the two warriors, fighting for honor, collided heavily in the next instant.

The massive longsword clashed with the massive battle axe, creating a thunderous roar that echoed across the sea.

On the coast.

"Oh! They've already started fighting?"

Standing on the snail's head, even without using Observation Haki to investigate, Roa could already hear the sounds of the monsters fighting on the island just by listening.

"What are we waiting for! Speed up! It's a rare sight to see a battle between strong individuals! Don't miss it!"

And so, the Giant Snail rumbled ashore, mercilessly crushing the forest.

"Roar!!"

The imposing snail terrified the dinosaurs living in the forest. These monsters, as they were seen by ordinary people, screamed in panic and fled in all directions.

"It's a dinosaur?"

Behind Roa, Bege exclaimed, "It's much bigger than those small-time dinosaurs in Wano Country! Is this an Ancient Island?"

Dinosaur?

Ancient Island?

Enel was completely confused.

He neither recognized the creature nor understood what Ancient Island was.

The nine-year-old boy, from a remote, impoverished area, simply looked around curiously.

Everything on the Blue Sea was so new and exciting to him.

"Boss! Someone's fighting!"

Standing behind Roa, Bullet gazed intently into the depths of the island. "I sense two powerful auras!"

Dylan was slightly taken aback.

If even the current Bullet considers it powerful, what other extraordinary entity might be hiding on this island, which isn't far from the entrance to the Grand Line?

"It's not just about being powerful!"

Roa raised the corners of his mouth, "Let's go, let's pay a visit to the old masters of the sea!"

Senior?

Dylan was somewhat surprised.

On this vast sea, pirates are always replaced at a very fast pace.

Those who can rise to the level of veterans are generally formidable figures with a name and a reputation.

But Dylan couldn't recall anyone else on the high seas who deserved to be called a senior by the Boss, someone he didn't even know.

Aside from Roger and Redfield, shouldn't all the well-known pirates on the seas now come from the Rocks Pirates?

However, as the Snail Fleet continued to move forward, Dylan's doubts were soon answered.

It's already clearly visible.

"That--that is!"

Moria's eyes widened. "A giant?"

Deep within the forest lies a flat area that has been cleared by human hands.

Meanwhile, on this flat ground that is far too wide for ordinary people, two behemoths, each over twenty meters tall, are passionately hacking at each other.

One man wielded a longsword, the other a giant axe; the two enormous weapons clashed repeatedly, sparks flying and thunderous roars echoing incessantly.

Giants?

He had seen many Moria with bizarre and towering physiques that didn't resemble humans, such as Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, and even himself. But this was the first time he had ever seen a true giant like Moria!

So big!

"Giant?"

Enel was the most shocked.

Before this, he didn't even know that such a large race existed in the world.

"No! This isn't an ordinary giant!"

After seeing their faces clearly, Dylan couldn't help but exclaim, "They are the two captains of the Giant Soldier Pirates were famous throughout the world seventy years ago, Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy!"

"Giant Soldier Pirates?"

Teach was equally astonished. "So, they disappeared for seventy years, but they were actually on this island all along?"

The Giant Soldier Pirates are no ordinary pirate group.

Seventy years ago, in that distant era, the giants of Elbaf profoundly demonstrated to the world the power they wielded.

At that time, the Giant Soldier Pirates roamed the seas, and Harald, who had ascended to the throne at a young age, also rampaged across the oceans.

No one could stop their advance.

Their overwhelming power aweed the world with these charging giants.

Not long after that, Harald's personality changed drastically; the mischievous boy who used to cause trouble everywhere transformed into a benevolent king.

The two captains of the Giant Soldier Pirates also disappeared without a trace, and the pirate crew that once shook an era disbanded.

So, these two guys are still alive and well?

"The captain of the Giant Soldier Pirates?"

Bullet's gaze was intense. "These two guys seem pretty good!"

"So,"

Doflamingo asked with some curiosity, "Why are they fighting here?"

Although I don't know much about the Giant Soldier Pirates, it's not hard to tell from Dylan's words that these two guys were originally comrades.

Who knows?

Roa, feigning ignorance, simply said leisurely, "Watch closely; such a powerful battle between giants is quite rare."

Even among the giants of Elbaf, Dorry and Brogy were considered very powerful.

In the Egghead Island arc, she helped Luffy fight against the Five Elders without being at a disadvantage.

So everyone calmed down and watched intently as these two behemoths clashed.

Dorry and Brogy, of course, also noticed the arrival of Roa and the others.

After all, the rumbling of the Snail Fleet made a greater commotion than their actual confrontation.

Anyone who isn't blind or deaf would notice.

However, the two fighters, caught up in the fierce battle, showed no intention of greeting the guests, completely absorbed in their fight.

Both men possessed astonishing strength; each clash of their swords and axes unleashed a whirlwind that swept across the entire island.

Enel was so unsteady in the wind that he almost got blown away.

"What astonishing power!"

Dylan couldn't help but exclaim, "Even among giants, this is incredibly exaggerated!"

"Snort,"

Bullet scoffed. "His only advantage is his strength."

Roa chuckled upon hearing this.

The power of these two giants is indeed overwhelming; otherwise, they would not have been able to stand up to the Five Elders in the future.

However, while enjoying the benefits of a good physique, one must also bear the drawbacks that come with it.

Too slow.

For truly top-tier experts, their movements appear somewhat sluggish.

Although it's only "slight," it's a fatal flaw in the eyes of a true master.

However, the match between Dorry and Brogy was truly even.

It's not 5.0001:4.9999, but rather, a complete 50/50 split with absolutely no difference.

The two were evenly matched in strength, and after seventy years of continuous clashes, their understanding of each other had become deeply ingrained.

It means that the move cannot be countered.

Despite their seemingly fierce fight, they can't actually hurt each other in the slightest.

It was just a lot of noise and excitement.

So.

"Crackling sounds! That's enough for today, Dorry!"

After another collision, Brogy, carrying his battle axe, burst into laughter.

Hehehehehe!

Dorry laughed along, "You're right!"

He turned his head and looked at the Giant Snail beside him, "We need to treat our guests well!"

On the snail's head, Roa looked at the long-bearded Dorry, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

No, are there really people in this world who laugh like that?

Are you an elder of the Soul Hall?

The two giants simultaneously stepped closer to Roa and the others.

"Clap clap clap clap! Welcome! Guests who have come from afar!"

Brogy licked his lips. "It's a little embarrassing to say, but buddy, do you have any alcohol with you?"

"Hehehehe! I can't even remember the last time I drank with someone!"

Dorry echoed, "The battle itself is exhilarating enough, but without some fine wine to accompany it afterward, it's just too boring!"

"Fine wine?"

Roa raised the corners of his mouth. "As for wine, of course, there's as much as you want."

"Oh!"

The two giants' eyes lit up instantly, and their Adam's apples bobbed involuntarily.

"That young man--"

You can drink as much as you want.

Roa smiled and said, "But Dorry, Brogy, I hope you can grant me one request."

"You say!"

Dorry readily agreed, "Anything we can help with, is no problem!"

"That's great!"

Roa clapped his hands happily, "In that case, you can come back to the New World with us, to Elbaf."

"What?"

The two giants were both taken aback.

You mean, Elbaf?

Dorry looked at Roa, his tone finally showing a hint of hesitation, "You're going to Elbaf?"

"It wasn't me, it was us."

Roa smiled and said, "Next, I'm going to Elbaf to discuss a very important deal with Harald, but I'm worried he won't accept it, so I thought I'd bring some gifts with me."

"The two captains of the Giant Soldier Pirates, who haven't returned to Elbaf in seventy years, Harald's childhood friends—who could be more suitable than the two of you?"

The smiles on the two giants' faces finally vanished in that instant.

They exchanged a glance, then instinctively gripped their weapons, their eyes filled with extreme wariness as they looked at Roa.

"Hey buddy, who exactly are you?"

"Roa, my name is Roa."

Roa answered very frankly, "You probably don't know yet, but the New World has changed a little. The sea area where Elbaf is now belongs to me."

"What did you say?"

Brogy's tone was blank.

What do you mean by saying that the sea area where Elbaf is located belongs to him?

"As you all know, your homeland Elbaf, is an incredibly powerful nation. If I can't deal with you giants, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace."

"Dorry, Brogy, you two, I need your help!" Roa exclaimed with deep emotion.

"So,"

Brogy's eyes had turned completely cold as he looked down at Roa. "Young man, are you planning to make a move against Elbaf?"

Roa thought for a moment, "If we can't reach an agreement, then there's nothing we can do."

"That's why I said I need your help. Go and have a good talk with Harald for me."

"Sunsaw!"

Amidst the furious roars of the two giants, the enormous longsword and the equally massive battle axe crashed down upon Roa.

"Oh, really, I've been very sincere."

Roa looked up and said with a touch of emotion.

They really don't know what's good for them.

In that case, let me take a look at the power of the old-timers who roamed the seas in the era before last.

"Forehead!"

Dorry and Brogy froze instantly.

Two hands, two enormous, jet-black arms, appeared out of thin air and grabbed Dorry and Brogy's sword and axe.

"What?"

The giants' expressions changed abruptly.

Such power! The weapon is completely immobilized!

"Let me show you why you're helping me."

Roa said with a smile.

However, that's an exaggerated amount of power; he was already seriously unleashing Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.
