" Lucy-chan, if you ever get tired, don't hesitate to tell me. " Cried Sanji. " I would gladly carry you on my back. "
" I'm fine Sanji. " Lucy assured him, while throwing little glances around her. " In fact, I'm starting to regret having come ! I have the impression that we will be attacked at all times. "
" In the middle of the forest, you will be attacked by this pervert. " Loke told hER as he walked past Lucy.
" Grrr! Are you still here? " Roared the cook. " I've had enough ! Disappear before I kick your face. "
" Try only! I hope at least you hit better than you cook your shit food. "
" You want to fight ? "
" Why ? " Sighed Lucy, noticing that a new fight was about to begin.
Suddenly a drop fell on the top of her head.
" Hum? " Lucy said, looking up.
A huge jaw. A huge jawbone belonging to a T-rex sat directly above her, as the dinosaur salivated at the thought of eating the blonde and her two friends.
" AAAAAAHHHHHH ! " Shouted Lucy. " A DINOSAUR ! "
Opening its jaws wide, the huge carnivore pretended to devour Lucy. However, in an instant, a luminous fist and overpowered kick struck its muzzle so hard that the dinosaur was thrown back, before crashing violently against the ground.
" Don't touch Lucy ! " Both men roared, wrapping an arm around Lucy's waist.
Then, turning to each other, they cried.
" YOU ALSO, ASSHOLE ! "
This time, irritated by their behavior, Lucy ends up striking them on the head, before ordering them.
" Take the dinosaur and return to the boat. "
" Uh ... yes. "
Seeing a huge brachiosaurus in front of him, Luffy cried out.
" Waouh ! A huge lizard with a long neck. "
" It's a dinosaur. " Vivi observed.
" A dinosaur ? " Menma repeated, with bright eyes. " A real ? "
" I understand now. " Vivi said. " This island is strange because we are actually on a prehistoric island. "
" Hum? Prehisto… what ? " Luffy asked.
" Because of the difficulties of navigation between the islands of the Grand Line, each of them remains independent from each other ! They have developed differently from each other, which makes them unique! So there are islands that have acquired an advanced civilization, and, on the contrary, other islands have changed so little that they have kept an identical appearance dating back several million years ! This island really stayed in the dinosaur era. "
" Very cool. " Luffy exclaimed, stretching his arms out towards the dinosaur's head. " I will capture it. "
" LUFFY ! " Vivi immediately shouted, seeing him do it.
His face covered in bumps, Johnny finally fell to the ground, while Gin cracked his neck.
" Come on, let's get motivated. "
However, Johnny remained still.
" I see ! " Said Gin, before looking for another opponent. " Next ! "
Nevertheless, Usopp, Yosaku, and Neni were nowhere to be found.
" Tsss! Bands of cowards! "
Getting ready to go to bed in a corner, Gin finally hears a strange noise coming from the hold.
" Hum? Is that you Usopp? "
Receiving no response, Gin eventually descends to the hold, where the barrels of water and alcohol were. Trying to look around the room, he asked.
" There is someone ? "
Suddenly, before he could react, a white substance fell from the ceiling and began to cover him entirely, preventing him from struggling, in seconds.
" Everybody. " Nami shouted, coming out of her cabin.
However, apart from Johnny's body on the ground, she saw nobody.
" Come here now ! " Nami ordered.
Immediately, three heads were seen at the top of the mast, where Usopp, Yosaku and Neni had hid to escape Gin.
" Gin gone ? We can go out ? "
" Go down. " Nami ordered, while holding a book in her hands.
First inspecting the boat to be sure that Gin was not going to fight them, the trio finally went down and went to see Nami.
" What did you find ? "
" Where's Gin? " Wanted first to know the redhead.
" No idea and it's better for us. " Yosaku taught her, while helping Johnny to get up. " Next time, it's best to let him go. "
Not caring about that, Nami cried out.
" Listen all ! I have information about Little Garden ! In fact … "
Suddenly a roar was heard, before a tyrannosaurus came out of the forest to run towards the Merry.
" What … ? " Nami wondered.
" A MOOOOONNNNNSSSSSTTTTTEEEERRRRRR ! "
However, in an instant, as the T-Rex opened its jaws wide, its head was suddenly sliced off at his neck again. And as the body collapsed to the ground, the head flew through the air, before being grabbed by a huge hand. Drawing aside the trees from its path, a huge silhouette, three times the size of the dead dinosaur, could be seen in front of the Merry.
Seeing him, the five occupants of the boat found themselves frozen with fear, as a laugh was heard.
" HAHAHAHA ! There you go, I have my dinner tonight. "
Falling to the ground, Usopp pretended to play dead, while he was afraid of the giant in front of the boat.
" A… A giant ? " Yosaku wondered.
" Umh ? " Johnny said, regaining consciousness.
Nevertheless, seeing the huge silhouette of the giant, before him, he uttered a cry of fear, before losing consciousness.
" A giant … " Cried Neni. " A giant of Elbaf ! "
" Elbaf ? "
Looking down at the Merry, the giant crouched down before asking.
" You know my island, is it true ? "
" Uh ... I ... " Stammered Neni. " I have heard of stories of great warriors coming from this island. "
" HHAHAHAHA! " Laughed the giant. " Indeed, Elbaf is known to contain mighty warriors ! I am happy to know, despite my absence, that this is still the case. "
Looking next at the crew, he wanted to know.
" More important, do you have any ? "
" What ? "
" Do you have alcohol ? "
" Alcohol ? " Nami repeated. " Um, yes ! A few barrels. "
" Awesome. " The giant rejoices. "It's been months that I haven't had a drop ! Can I have some? "
" You can take everything. " Assured him the crew. " Take them all. "
" What ? It is true ? Thank you so much ! In this case, to thank you ! I invite you to dinner. "
" WHAT ? "
" GIIIIIIINNNNNN! " Usopp immediately shouted.
However, he got no answer. The man seemed to be nowhere to be found.
" The motherfucker ! He left. "
" A problem ? " Asked the giant, while picking up the huge body of the dinosaur he had just killed. " By the way, my name is Brogy ! The mightiest warrior in Elbaf. "
Walking through the jungle, Raynare seemed thoughtful about Virgo's strange behavior.
"What did she have ? She behaved really strangely today. "
Suddenly, not paying attention, she bumped into someone, going around a huge tree trunk.
" Ouch. " Said the fallen angel, stepping back.
" You ? " Zoro wondered.
" What are you doing here ? " Raynare asked him.
" I'm bringing this back to the boat. " Zoro taught her, while shooting a huge triceratops. " I would be surprised if Sanji did better. "
Then, resuming to pull the dinosaur, he finally stops before screaming.
" What are you doing ? "
" Hum ? " Said the fallen angel, while she was installed on the head of the dinosaur. " I'm tired ! "
" Get down from there ! I have to get it back to the boat as soon as possible. "
" You will never get there before Sanji. " Raynare retorted.
" Why ? "
Pointing in the opposite direction, Raynare asserted.
" The boat is over there, you moron. "
" What ? "
" VIVI ! MENMA ! Come ! " Luffy shouted, still on the brachiosaurus head. "The view is incredible. "
" Get down from there. " Vivi ordered him, while Menma looked at Luffy with admiration.
" Why ? " Luffy asked, patting the dinosaur's head. " It is super docile. "
" It's a dinosaur ! We don't know what he could do! Get down there before he gets mad. "
However, wanting to play stubborn, Luffy leaned over to face the dinosaur's eye, before asking it.
" Can you take me somewhere? "
Too busy eating, the dinosaur seemed to ignore him.
" Over there. " Luffy cried, pointing in one direction.
No reaction from the dinosaur.
" Over there ! " Luffy repeated, slapping its head.
Immediately, under the panicked gazes of Vivi and Carue, the dinosaur gave a cry of pain. Then footsteps were heard.
" What is happening ? " Wanted to know Menma.
In response, a herd of brachiosaurus appeared and each member surrounded the dinosaur Luffy had just hit.
" Hum? " The pirate wondered. " What do you want ? "
Then, noting that most of the dinosaurs were larger than his, Luffy rejoices.
" Awesome ! I would have a much better view from up there. "
Immediately he stretched his arm towards the larger dinosaur and collapsed onto its head.
" Perfect !" Assured the pirate, looking at the whole island.
However, he didn't understand that the dinosaur he was on was unhappy that Luffy was on his head. In an instant, it shook his head and threw Luffy into the air.
" What … ? " Did nothing but say the captain, before ending up in the mouth of the dinosaur.
" Fool ! " Roared Vivi.
" He ... He got swallowed. " Menma frightened.
Preparing to savor its meal, the dinosaur opened its eyes, seeing a silhouette running in its direction. And before he could react, a sword cut off its neck.
" What ? " The two girls were surprised, seeing a giant appear.
Finding himself free, a hand grabbed Luffy and he was surprised to see the giant in front of him.
" You are really a funny little human. " Affirmed the huge man. " I have never seen a human dare to climb on the head of one of these animals ! You have guts, and I like it. "
" WOW! You are… You are gigantic. " Luffy remarked.
" Normally ! I am the warrior of Elbaf, Dorry ! The mightiest warrior in this world. "
" Hu… huge. " Said Menma, her eyes wide. " Is ... is he human ? "
" No, a giant. " Vivi replied. "It is the first time that I see one ! I thought it was a legend. "
Seeing Carue fall to the ground, because of fear, Vivi crouched near it, before shaking it.
" Carue, wake up! We must leave before he sees us. "
" Why ? " Menma asked him.
" From what I've heard, giants are man-eaters. "
" What ? "
" Hey, Vivi ! Menma ! " Called them Luffy. "Come to see ! "
" Fool ! " Roared Vivi.
" Great, you are my guests. " Announced Dorry. " Come, I'll show you where I live. "
" I promise you will have a blast. " Brogy announced. " I don't know anything tastier than dinosaur meat. "
And while he was lighting a big fire to cook large pieces of meat, his five "guests" were crying in fear.
" He plans to eat us. " Nami asserted.
" Why doesn't he cook us, then ? " Neni asked him.
" Classical technique, it fats us, then eats us. " Johnny suggested.
" All of this is Gin's fault. " Affirmed Yosaku. " Where did he go ? "
The ground shook when Brogy placed a large piece of meat in front of them.
" And there you go ! Enjoy your meal ! "
" I'm not hungry ! " Retorted five voices.
" You are wrong. " Brogy asserted, starting to eat. " You will enjoy ! Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce my new roommate to you. "
" Hey ? "
" Oi, Bruno. " Cried Brogy. " It's time to eat. "
" I know. " A voice affirmed.
At that moment, emerging from a huge cave, a man could be seen. Sporting a handsome face as well as a bowl hairstyle, the newcomer appeared to be human like pirates. Having slightly dirty clothes and messy hair, Bruno ends up sitting in front of the pirates before taking a piece of meat. Eating it, he finally said.
" I just hoped I could learn more about these pirates before showing up. "
" What ... Who are you? " Usopp asked him.
" Bruno Bucciarati. " The man replied, without bothering to lie to him.
" It's my roommate. " Announced Brogy. " Since he's been here, he hasn't stopped telling me strange stories ! It seems that he is dead and that he comes from another dimension. "
" What ? " The five people in front of him did, while staring at Bruno.
" It was not worth saying. " Retorted the man, while continuing to eat quietly.
" Do you care about us? " Asked Yosaku.
Fixing him immediately, with a hard look, Bruno questioned him.
" Do you think I'm lying ? "
" Uh ... I ... no ... no. " Yosaku assured, preferring not to look for trouble.
However, continuing to stare at him, Bruno warns him.
" If you keep lying to me, you will regret it. "
Only able to swallow, Yosaku preferred to remain silent. Finishing his piece of meat, Bruno wiped his lips with the top of his thumb, before declaring.
" Brogy may be scary, he's a straight and honest warrior ! He would never attack people weaker than him ! Besides, why would he try to eat you when there are much bigger prey on this island ? "
" Eating humans ? " Astonished Brogy. " What a strange idea ! On our island, we consider it cannibalism ! I hope you don't eat giants. "
" Before eating a giant, you would have to be crazy enough to attack it. " Neni remarked.
" But… but if you don't want to eat us, why did you bring us here ? " Wanted to know Nami.
" To thank you for giving me your alcohol, of course. " Brogy assured her, while taking a barrel.
Destroying the top of the object by crushing it with his thumb, he then drank all of the alcohol inside, in one sip.
" AHHHHHHH ! Rum and sake! It feels good to drink it. "
" I feel that Zoro and Gin are not going to appreciate the fact that they don't have enough to drink when they get home. " Usopp asserted.
" We are going to be killed. " Johnny understood.
" You won't have wine, by any chance? " Bruno asked them.
" No ! " Simply retorted Nami. " In fact, can you tell us who you are exactly ? "
" Bruno Bucciarati ! I'm the former leader of the Neapolitan gang: Passione ! I enforced the law in a part of Italy. "
" Passione ? Italy ? "
" Don't try to understand. " Replied the man. " All you need to know is that during a fight, I lost my life ! And during my moment of being judged in the Hereafter, the Creator wanted to give me a chance to redeem all my sins! He brought me here, on a prehistoric island where giants live! And from what Brogy and Dorry have taught me, this island is not in my world! Until now, I had never heard of Grand Line! And even less to have seen a dinosaur or a giant alive. "
" What… what is this story ? " Neni asked. " It has any sense. "
" I tell you not to try to understand. " Said Bruno, taking another piece of meat. " If you yourself, you would have told me these kinds of stories, I admit that I would have had a lot of trouble believing you ! But OK … "
Biting his meat, he finally asserts.
" This place is not too bad, for a man like me ! This is not where someone will die because of me. "
" By your fault? " Nami repeated. " Wait, you said the 'creator' sent you here because of your sins ! What are you talking about ? "
" It was because of my ideals that most of the men in my gang died ! I couldn't protect them and that's why I refuse to be considered a righteous man! In addition, during my lifetime, I took the lives of various people! No matter how much I acted to save as many lives as possible, the fact remains that I have become a murderer. "
Hearing this, Johnny and Yosaku swallowed in fear.
" So ... So you don't want to fight. " Understood Nami.
In response, Bruno positioned himself in a flash before the young woman before placing his hand on her cheek.
" That … ? "
" It's not my goal to want to attack anyone ! However, I have heard that you are pirates ! In this case, should I understand that you appreciate the murders and the looting ? Is that the case ? "
" N ... No. " Nami assured, struggling to keep calm, while Bruno's gaze fixed her eyes. " We ... we are only looking to realize our dreams. "
" Realize your dreams ? "
" Our captain's dream is to find a legendary treasure so that he can be named '' pirate king '' ! But that doesn't make him a bad man ! If I followed him, it was to be able to realize my dream of being able to draw a world map. "
Listening to her without saying anything, Bruno then ends up telling her.
" By looking at her, listening to her heartbeat or even licking her sweat, I am able to tell if someone is lying to me. "
" What … ? "
Suddenly, Bruno withdrew his hand from Nami's cheek, before returning to his seat.
" You look honest to me ! However, I find it hard to believe that people like you are pirates ! You don't have the head of the job. "
" Hahaha! " Giggles Brogy. " He's not wrong ! To me, in any case, you do not scare me ! HAHAHA. "
" Uh ... Mr. Brogy ... you live here, don't you ? " Nami asked him.
" Hum ? Yes, why ? "
" Do you know how long it takes for a log-pose to recharge on this island ? "
" Log-Pose? " Repeated Brogy. " From what I know, you have to wait a whole year. "
" What ? " Five voices were surprised.
" Why does the log-pose take so long to reload ? " Wanted to know Johnny.
" A whole year ? " Yosaku repeated. " With these dinosaurs on the island, we risk dying. "
"So is that what Miss All-Sunday wanted to tell us ?" Neni wondered.
" Since you are going to stay here for a while, can you tell me more about this world ? " Bruno asked them.
" This dinosaur meat is too good. " Luffy assured, while having a bite to eat.
" And there are plenty. " Menma rejoices, while eating her own piece. " Thank you, mister giant. "
" It's nothing. " Assured Dorry. " With what's left, I have food for at least three days ! Don't be afraid to help yourself. "
Then eating a small sandwich with lots of meat, he asserted.
" Your bentos are small but surprisingly delicious. "
" Of course they are good. " My cook made them ! If you had said they were bad, I would have kicked your ass. "
Immediately, Vivi and Carue got scared, thinking of Dorry's reaction.
" HAHAHA! Do you want to kick my ass ? You really are a funny little guy! HAHAHA! "
" You laugh a lot, Mr. Dorry. " Menma noticed.
" You must always know how to appreciate life. " Dorry replied. " No one knows what the future holds for them, so you have to know how to appreciate every day of your life."
" By the way, are you living alone here, Giant ? " Luffy asked. " Don't you live in a village ? "
Stopping laughing, Dorry looked at Luffy, before looking away. Finally, he declared.
" Yes, I have a village ! Elbaf, the village of warriors ! It is somewhere on the Grand Line! However, my village has laws. "
" Laws ? "
" Yes, during an argument which leads to a fight, the adversaries must leave the village and fight on an island which serves as a ring! They then fight to death and accept the judgment of our god Elbaf ! It is it who decides who should or who should win! He thus gives his strength to the warrior who deserves it. "
" You mean you're here to fight ? " Vivi wondered.
" Yes ! For a while now, we have been fighting and we are still waiting to know who will be the legitimate winner of our fight. "
" So, you wait for one of you to die. " Luffy understood.
" In short, yes. "
" I don't understand. " Menma confessed.
" Hum ? It's easy to understand, isn't it ? We fight among ourselves. "
'' But ... do you hate yourself ? "
" No, why ? "
'' So, why do you have to kill someone you like ? "
Scratching his head, Dorry finally said.
" Listen… it may be difficult to understand for a child like you ! But, it's the way we have always lived ! We can't change that ! As proof, we have been fighting for 100 years. "
" You have been fighting for a hundred years ? " Luffy repeated. " It means you got here long before I was born ! Even long before Roger became a pirate. "
" Roger ? Who's that person ? "
Tearing off a piece of meat, he added.
" For you humans, a hundred years seems a lot, but we giants can live up to 300 years. "
'' Even if you live longer than us, aren't you tired of fighting for so long? " Vivi asked her. " And what is your reason for fighting ? "
" My reason ? " Dorry repeated.
Suddenly, to the trio's surprise, he laughed again.
" I wonder me. " Loke confessed, as he helped Sanji drag the huge tyrannosaurus to the boat. " Is this lizard edible ? There is no question that I let Lucy eat anything. "
" Foo l! My talent is so great that I could make a toxic dish a gastronomic wonder. "
" It's all the same incredible to have met such an animal here. " Lucy remarked. " A prehistoric island ? Grand Line never ceases to impress me. "
Suddenly, Saji and Loke stopped, when their path crossed that of Zoro and Raynare.
" Hum ? " Said the swordsman.
" Oh, beautiful prey that you have there. " Rayanre asserted, while still lying on Zoro's triceratops.
" Ray-chan ? " Astonished Lucy. " Where's Virgo ? "
" She left me company. " Raynare told her, leaving her perch. " So… getting back to the contest, who wins? "
" It's me. " Zoro and Sanji said at the same time.
And to prove it, they lined up their prey, side by side, in order to see the result. And hands down, Sanji's dinosaur was the longest.
" I won. " Proudly affirmed the blond.
" Foo l! We talked about bringing in as many tonnes of meat as possible. " Zoro remarked. " And my dinosaur is heavier than yours! I won ! "
" Don't say stupid things ! There are only bones in your dinosaur ! We could barely extract five grams of meat. "
" Really ? And your dinosaur, then ? There is only muscle and tendons ! There is no quality meat. "
" It's crazy how these two can be bad times when it comes to winning. " Lucy remarked.
" Lets see the positive side, at least we have meat. " Raynare noticed.
Thinking back to earlier, the fallen angel wanted to know.
" Lucy, haven't you had any problems with Virgo lately ? "
" Hum ? No why ? "
" No nothing ! I just had a strange feeling. "
" A strange impression? "
Suddenly, the explosion of a volcano was heard. Seeing it spitting smoke, Loke asserted.
" See the prey's size, this volcano would be a perfect barbecue. "
" No, it's a perfect countdown. " Zoro retorted. "We're back to hunting and we have to bring back the biggest animal possible before an explosion occurs again. "
" It works. " Sanji announced. " I'll ridicule you once and for all. "
So leaving, the two men left their prey, much to Lucy's dismay.
" I dream or they don't care about me? "
" Don't worry ! As soon as we tell Luffy about these two big dinosaurs, they'll rush here to pick them up and bring them back to the boat. "
Eventually following Zoro, Raynare stretched, before asking.
" Zoro, I'm exhausted ! Can you still carry me ? "
" In your dreams, stupid crow ! "
" Lucy-chan, let's go back to the forest. " Sanji invited her.
" Yeeeeeesss … " Said Lucy, heaving a sigh. " In the end I should have stayed on the boat. "
Seeing the explosion of the volcano on his side, Luffy could only be amazed.
" Waouh! It's a big explosion. "
" It's both beautiful and scary. " Menma noticed.
" That's the signal. " Dorry noticed.
" The signal ? "
" Excuse my rudeness, but I have an urgent matter to settle. " Dorry asserted, while picking up his sword.
At that moment, seeing him stand up, Luffy was surprised to see his gaze change.
Also hearing the sound of the volcano, Usopp was frightened to be so close to it.
" On the boat, the explosion was much less impressive. "
" How can we live with this volcano which keeps erupting every hour ? " Wanted to know Neni.
For his part, lying on the ground, Bruno ends up opening his eyes, before asking.
" Are you going, Brogy-san? "
" Of course. " Assured the giant immediately, grabbing his ax.
Ceasing to behave like a perfect host, the giant then utters a huge battle cry.
" Let's go. "
" Hey, what's wrong with you? " Nami asked, scared.
" I have to go. " Simply says the giant.
" Go ? " Johnny repeated.
" Where do you want to go ? " Asked Yosaku.
" On the battlefield. " Brogy said. " The volcano has been our signal for the past hundred years! Each time it erupts, Dorry and I go off against each other, to show our god Elbaf who is the most powerful of us ! And it is by winning that one of us can return home. "
" You ... Have you been fighting for a hundred years ? " Usopp wondered. " But why ? "
" Why ? " Repeated Brogy. " I have forgotten the reason for our fight for years. "
" What ? "
Not lingering any longer, the giant left his place to run towards the center of the island.
" DORRRYYYY. "
" BRROOOGGGYYYYY. " Cried Dorry, imitating him.
And soon, Brogy's ax and Dorry's sword clashed together, creating a powerful shock wave spreading throughout the island.
" What power. " Usopp remarked, feeling a gust of wind sweep over his face.
Continuing the fight, the giants used their weapons in an attempt to kill his opponent. With each hit, the island shook because of their powers.
" They are strong both. " Yosaku noticed.
" What they say about giants is therefore true. " Understood Johnny. " It is the race which deserves the nickname of "warrior". "
Seeing them fight, Nami shrugged, retorting.
" To fight when they have forgotten the reason ? This is completely silly. "
" It's you who's stupid. " Retorted a voice.
Lying on the ground, Bruno was the one who had openly insulted Nami.
" Sorry ? " Roared the redhead.
"As long as you are not a warrior, you will not be able to understand. "
" Understand what ? "
" Look at them! These two are not impressive because of their power or their size ! No, what makes me want to admire them is their honor. "
" Honor ? " Usopp repeated.
" It's been two weeks since I landed on this island. " Bruno taught them. " And there has not been a single day when these two did not fight ! Sometimes, they chain three or four fights a day ! And despite their injuries from the previous combat, they take up their weapons and return to combat, without having the slightest fear. "
Hearing another shock, Usopp turned to look at the giants, while Bruno continued.
" Look at them ! They don't pretend to fight! Each of their shots is directed towards a vital point! Each of their attacks is meant to kill! And it has been so for a hundred years! For a hundred years, they wanted to show who is the most powerful! And they don't care about the reason for the origin of this fight! The proof, they forgot it and they still keep fighting! They do it for the honor. "
Smiling as he stared at the giants, he finished.
" No matter who wins, these two guys both deserve the title of warrior. "
" Awesome. " Usopp whispered.
At that moment, Brogy closed his fist and managed to hit Dorry squarely in the jaw. Taking a step back, the second giant spat a tooth out of his mouth, before directing his fist at Brogy's stomach.
" Unbelievable ! " Cried Usopp. " So the power of a giant looks like this? Is that what it means to be a warrior ? Impressive! I too want to have this courag e! I would do anything to look like them. "
" Do you want to become a giant ? " His comrades were surprised.
" Not at all ! Bruno is right. The courage of these giants deserves to be applauded ! How many people can claim to be putting their lives on the line every day? How many people dare to fight an opponent as strong as they are? How many people have such great courage ? "
Raising his fists, he cried.
" I don't want to have their size ! I want to have their courage. "
Listening to him, Bruno remained silent. Then, finally, he smiled somewhat.
" Say what you want, I'm going. " Nami announced.
Nevertheless, like a snake, Bruno's body snuggled against her back, while his arms surrounded her body, immobilizing him completely.
" What ? " Nami wondered.
Fixing Nami in the eyes, Bruno gave a scary look as he asserted.
" Do you want to die? "
" What ? "
" If you go, you will die. "
At that moment, unable to look away from Bruno's eyes, Nami felt a wave of fear, while the redhead felt that something was wrong with Bruno. In fact, she felt like she was in the company of a man who was strong enough to kill her in an instant.
" Gather. " Bruno advised her, forcing her to sit on the floor.
At that moment, the two giants struck at the same time, with titanic force.
" 73466 matches. " Began Brogy, feeling his legs tremble.
" 73466 draws. " Dorry continued, feeling his body fall backwards.
" And zero wins. " Cried the two giants, crashing to the ground.
Waiting a few seconds, until the island stops shaking, Neni finally asks.
" Are they dead? "
In response, he heard two laughs, before the two giants stood up. Then, helping each other, they managed to get up.
" I don't understand. " Said Yosaku. " Are they friends or enemy ? "
" Beating someone doesn't always mean hating them. " Bruno taught him. "Respecting your opponent is a great value in warriors. "
Eventually turning to him, Usopp questioned him.
" Who are you ? "
" Who knows ? " Bruno asked him, simply shrugging his shoulders.
Suddenly coming back to them, Brogy bent down a little, to take two barrels of alcohol.
" I'll be right back ! Give me time to give this to Dorry ! He also has guests ! It seems that your captain is with him. "
" Luffy? " The quartet wondered.
" Princess Wednesday is also with this giant? " Neni wondered.
"Their captain ? " Bruno wondered.
Being curious and having time to spare, the man stood up, before jumping up to grab Brogy's hand. Then climbing on his arm, Bruno then sat on the giant's shoulder, before affirming.
" I'm going to visit Dorry. "
" As you wish. "His friend announced, before leading him to the second giant.
