Blue Ogre and Red Ogre of Little Garden!
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
Clusters of crimson mushroom clouds rose into the sky, then turned gray, then black, transforming into billowing smoke mixed with sparks that shot straight into the heavens.
The entire earth was shaking violently around the erupting volcano, and surging lava flowed wildly from the crater, swallowing up all the rocks and trees along its path.
The birds and beasts in the forest cried out in terror and fled desperately to farther places.
It felt like the end of the world.
However, these birds and beasts were not the animals commonly seen outside.
Instead, Quetzalcoatlus of over ten meters, and giant Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Spinosaurus, and Ankylosaurus.
These dinosaurs, from different periods and of varying sizes, were all gathered on this large, wild island.
It is known as the Ancient Island outside, but here it is called the Little Garden.
Yes.
Little Garden, a name that sounds very cute.
Just then, heavy footsteps, like the sound of drums, grew louder and closer from the east and west sides. It turned out to be two armored Titans, estimated to be over twenty meters tall, approaching.
It's worth noting that even the largest dinosaur, the Brachiosaurus, was only between twelve and sixteen meters tall.
Perhaps.
To these two Titans wielding Claymore and giant axes, the island was truly just Little Garden.
They were the two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates were famous Four Seas eighty years ago.
The Titans with Claymore in his right hand, a round shield in his left, wearing a conical helmet and a blue cloak, and sporting a long beard, is 'Blue Ogre' Dorry!
The Titans, holding a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right, wearing a horned helmet and a blue cloak, with a full brown and yellow beard, is none other than 'Red Ogre' Brogy!
Seventy-seven years ago, the Giant Warrior Pirates arrived at this Ancient Island, and two of them each captured a Sea King was thousands of meters long.
The argument began when a little girl asked a question, and they have been dueling on the island ever since.
They also said that only the living could return to their homeland, and agreed to fight whenever the volcano in the center of the island erupted.
That volcano erupts twice a day.
In other words, Dorry and Brogy have fought here more than 56,000 times, but so far they have not been able to determine a winner, and each time they have ended in a draw.
Strangely, even though the volcano had erupted, the two didn't start fighting as usual; instead, they huddled together and started chatting.
"Can you feel it?"
"Of course, this increasingly intense sense of oppression is palpable even before we see them!"
They stood shoulder to shoulder, their expressions solemn, facing eastward toward the still-unseen blue sky.
Dorry asked in a deep voice, "What do you think it could be?"
Brogy pursed his lips and replied, "Perhaps the King of Elbaf has come looking for us?"
The truth is, the two of them have lived in this Little Garden for nearly eighty years. According to lifespan, even if the human powerhouses who fought alongside them at sea back then are still alive, they could not possibly possess the kind of aura that could bring them tension even when they are out of sight!
That's all.
Against the backdrop of billowing smoke and flowing lava from the volcanic eruption, they waited quietly for about half an hour before finally spotting a dark figure slowly approaching.
"They're here!"
Dorry and Brogy silently agreed in their hearts.
[Wung------]
Suddenly, a buzzing, ancient yet soaring melody, like the sound of a tolling bell, descended from the distant sky onto the entire Ancient Island with a vast and majestic momentum.
After the music came a chanting song that sounded like a religious hymn. The lyrics were unclear, or perhaps there were no lyrics at all, but it was so magnificent, solemn, and awe-inspiring.
Dorry and Brogy sensed a strong sense of sacredness in it!
Meanwhile, the giant dinosaurs on the island, and even the erupting volcano, seemed to quiet down, until a vast shadow rolled in from the sea, instantly covering most of the 'Little Garden'.
"."
The two former captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates stared in disbelief at the enormous White Ship overhead, which blotted out the sun and seemed unbelievable.
"World Government!"
The two of them could certainly recognize the 'Celestial Dragon Hoofprint' on the bow of Noah and the golden World Government emblems on both sides.
"Watch out, someone's coming down from up there!"
Dorry quickly reminded Brogy, but he didn't need to say anything; Brogy had already noticed the three figures flying down from the giant ship immediately.
It's just that due to the height, it's a little hard to see with the naked eye.
But as the enemy descended at an extremely fast speed, the two suddenly realized that they were three Giants wearing golden armor, wielding Giant Soldier, and with white cloaks fluttering behind them.
However, the presence of the Visor prevented them from seeing the faces of these three members of their race, and the blood-red patterns on the armor and weapons gave them an eerie and unsettling appearance.
Not long after, with three deafening bangs, the three Golden Giants finally landed on the ground of the 'Little Garden', causing widespread cracks in the ground and raising a large amount of surging dust.
Such a fierce entrance alerted Dorry and Brogy, who began to prepare their Claymore and axes.
In their memory, there was no such thing as Giants joining the World Government.
"Captain Dorry!"
"Captain Brogy!"
But when two familiar calls reached their ears, their wary expressions froze instantly.
Immediately afterwards, two of the three Golden Giants lifted the Golden Visor attached to their helmets and ran towards them excitedly, calling out their own names.
This directly disrupted the tension that had just been established.
"Kashi! Oimo!"
Dorry and Brogy recognized each other almost simultaneously, appearing quite surprised and delighted, after all, they were old subordinates they hadn't seen for so many years.
"Waaaah, we've finally met you, Captain!"
"Yes, that's great, you're still alive!"
Kashi hugged Dorry, Oimo hugged Brogy, their eyes brimming with tears of emotion, which even escalated into wailing. This left Dorry and Brogy looking at each other in bewilderment.
Although it has been more than eighty years since we last met, even for the Giants, that is a considerable amount of time.
But is it really necessary to cry like this?
It took a good ten minutes before Kashi and Oimo stopped crying and sobbing, and finally began to tell the two captains about everything that had happened over the years.
Dorry and Brogy were initially Wrath at being deceived, but were then shocked by their joining the World Government.
"You."
"Captain Brogy, actually, before us, Jango, Rakewell, and Lonz had already joined the Giant Unit of the Marine Headquarters!"
Fearing reprimand from the captains, Kashi quickly recounted what she knew about Mother Carmel and the Giant Unit.
After listening, Dorry and Brogy exchanged a speechless glance.
What could they say? The whole thing started because they deserted the One Piece crew without permission for a duel, which led to the remaining crew members being captured by the Navy and caused Kashi and Oimo to be deceived by Enies Lobby.
"And what about him?"
Dorry didn't say anything more, and pointed to the third Golden Giants was still standing in the distance. When the latter saw that he had mentioned himself, he also lifted his Visor and walked over.
"My name is Hagwaru D. Saul, but I am not Titans from Elbaf. I am currently the commander of the Giant God Soldier. Nice to meet you!"
