Giants Are Really Tough

A blow—a crushingly heavy blow!

The punch struck Kasi in the stomach, making his eyeballs bulge as his body flew backward out of control and slammed heavily into the wall.

"Boom!"

"Kasi!!"

Oimo stared at his fallen companion in disbelief. It was the first time he had seen a human accomplish something like this.

They were warriors of the Former Giant Warrior Pirate Crew!

"Giants really can take a beating," Xi Yan said.

That punch had failed to knock him unconscious outright. The Giant Clan's ability to withstand blows really was extraordinary.

"Cough, cough..."

Blood trickled from the corner of Kasi's mouth, and his expression turned ugly beyond measure.

His opponent's strength was terrifying. That single punch had nearly knocked him unconscious.

For a moment just now, he had thought he was facing the two leaders of the Giant Clan.

"Kararara~"

At that moment, the Great Gate of the Inner Island slowly opened. Several people Xi Yan had ordered to open it had evidently succeeded.

"Wha...?!"

Oimo looked at the gate in disbelief. It had actually opened?

Why?

They had clearly stopped this intruder, and no one else had infiltrated the island. So why had the gate opened?

"Bastard, was it you?!" Oimo roared angrily.

If they failed to guard the gate, their agreement with the World Government would no longer count.

How would they save their two leaders then?

"Hmm, it was me."

"Then die!" Oimo swung his massive club down in fury, intending to kill Xi Yan.

As long as the intruder no longer existed, it would not count as failing to guard the gate, right?

Unfortunately, how could such a sluggish attack possibly hit Xi Yan?

"Alright, you should lie down obediently too!"

Xi Yan punched Oimo in the stomach, sending him flying to land beside Kasi.

"Damn it..." Kasi gritted his teeth as he glared at Xi Yan. If it were not for this bastard, how would the two of them have ended up like this?

At that moment, the roar of Rocket Man came from behind them. Koko Luo Po Po had clearly driven Rocket Man inside.

Xi Yan turned back and saw that Rocket Man had appeared at the main gate.

But at that speed... could it really stop?

Koko Luo Po Po had said that Rocket Man's construction was unusual. Once it started moving, stopping it was no easy matter.

It would be too embarrassing if they lost people because it could not stop.

"Looks like I can't kill you two just yet." Xi Yan glanced back at Kasi and Oimo. "Perfect. You two can be put to use as fighting strength."

"You two, look into my eyes."

Instinctively, Oimo and Kasi looked into Xi Yan's eyes. Their bodies immediately jolted, as though they were struggling against something.

But they soon stopped struggling and instead cried out in disbelief:

"Boss Dorry, is that you?!"

"It's actually Boss Brogy?!"

The two struggled to their feet. They could hardly believe their eyes.

The leaders they had been longing to see were standing alive right before them?

This... what exactly was going on?

Xi Yan was visibly stunned as well. He had clearly not expected the two Giants to react this way.

This gave Xi Yan two pieces of information.

First: the effectiveness of Illusion might be related to the target's willpower. As for whether it had anything to do with them being Giants, further experiments would be needed to confirm it.

The two Giants had clearly struggled just now, but after seeing something, they had immediately given up resisting.

Second: the two Giants before him seemed to know the two Giants from Little Garden.

In that case... these two could be considered one of us?

Had he nearly beaten his own people to death?

"Boss, why are you here?" Kasi asked. "Weren't you locked up in the Underwater Great Prison?!"

The Marines who could still stand below were all dumbfounded.

What was any of this supposed to mean?

Where were Dorry and Brogy?

Had that guy calling himself a Ninja done something?

"Something's wrong. That guy did something," a Marine said. "Is this also a Devil Fruit... no, a Ninja ability?"

Though he had no idea what had happened, he instinctively felt that something's wrong.

"Hey, Oimo!"

"Kasi!"

"What are you two doing? Hurry up and kill him!"

"Hmm?" Kasi shot the people below an icy look. "What did you say?"

"You want us to attack our bosses?!"

"And didn't you say our bosses were imprisoned in the Underwater Great Prison?"

"That's right. To save our two bosses, we, two warriors of the Former Giant Warrior Pirate Crew, agreed to guard this gate for you for one hundred years." Oimo said angrily, "But why are our bosses here?"

"Have you been lying to us from the very beginning?!"

If these bastards had been lying to them from the start, they would not mind showing them what the power of Elbaf truly was!

"H-How could that be..." the Marine said awkwardly. "We would never lie to you. It's that guy over there who deceived you."

"He isn't Dorry or Brogy. He's the enemy from before!"

Oimo blinked, looked at Xi Yan, then brought his club crashing down.

"You're full of shit! That's obviously our boss!"

"Damn Marines, I'll kill you all!" Kasi roared furiously.

The two of them quickly wiped out all the remaining Marines, then looked at Xi Yan. "Two bosses, why are you here?"

"We'll discuss that later." Xi Yan pointed at the approaching Rocket Man behind him. "You two, stop that first."

"Remember, don't damage the Sea Train. There are people on our side inside."

Oimo looked at the approaching Rocket Man and patted his chest. "Leave it to Oimo!"

"Kasi too!"

The two set down their weapons and walked forward step by step. Then they crouched halfway down and made grabbing motions.

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

The two unleashed the Giant Clan's strength and forcibly stopped the rapidly moving Sea Train.

Rocket Man still injured them, leaving many wounds on their hands, but neither paid any attention to such trivial matters.

After setting the Sea Train down, Oimo laughed. "Boss Dorry, I did pretty well, right!"

"Obviously, I used more strength, Oimo!!" Kasi said unhappily.

Then he smiled at Xi Yan. "Boss Brogy, we stopped the train. What should we do next?"

Xi Yan said nothing. Instead, he looked toward the several people walking out of the train cars.

Although Rocket Man had come to a perfect stop thanks to the two Giants, the resulting inertia still left them somewhat dizzy.

"What happened?" Nami asked, holding her head.

"I think I just heard someone call Brogy's name." Usopp adjusted his mask and looked around in confusion.

Then he noticed those two enormous figures.

"G-Giants?!"

At that moment, the figures of the two Giants gradually grew larger in Usopp's eyes.
