"This alcohol, isn't it from your ship?"
Brogy clutched his chest, blood dripping down his arm, his expression a mix of anger and doubt. He slowly sat down like a collapsing mountain, his eyes fixed on the small figure of Luffy, scrutinizing him with disbelief.
Luffy watched Brogy fall, stunned and somewhat at a loss.
"How could I have known this alcohol would explode! It was just ordinary alcohol!" His voice was filled with confusion and anger, his gaze darting between Brogy and the lingering smoke from the explosion.
"Still trying to argue!" Brogy roared, his voice shaking the branches of the surrounding trees. His gaze turned even colder, unwilling to tolerate any more excuses from this outsider.
Luffy always chose to directly resolve any doubts. He grinned, revealing his characteristic smile, "Since you don't believe me, let's fight!"
Seeing Luffy's foolish expression, Brogy became even more convinced that this brat was behind it. He roared, "You bastard! How dare you ambush me!" With that, he swung his giant fist at Luffy.
Although Luffy's mind wasn't the sharpest, his combat instincts were incredibly keen. He nimbly dodged Brogy's attack, then countered with a punch to Brogy's stomach, but it felt like hitting steel, making his own fist ache.
"What a hard stomach!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Ow ow ow! You brat, you've got quite some strength!" Brogy was enraged by Luffy and attacked even more fiercely.
Not far away, the roar of a volcanic eruption suddenly echoed, like the angry cry of the earth. Brogy abruptly stopped his movements, his deep voice tinged with weariness and a hint of hesitation, "Time's up, the duel cannot be delayed!"
Before Luffy could respond, Brogy bent down and grabbed a small boulder nearby, effortlessly lifting it, then slammed it hard onto Luffy's head.
Luffy cried out, instantly slammed into the ground, only his mumbling protests audible, "It's so heavy… Let me out!"
"Once I deal with Dorry, I'll come back for you!"
Ignoring the grumbling Luffy, Brogy staggered towards the battlefield where Dorry was.
Injured all over, his steps were unusually slow, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
His fighting spirit and his principles regarding duels seemed to have never changed due to his injuries.
But Cheng Xiaoyu saw clearly that within those heavy steps, the decline could no longer be hidden.
Dorry had been waiting for a long time, and seeing Brogy's injured state, he couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Brogy, what's wrong with you today? Have you gotten old, can't even walk steadily anymore?"
Brogy endured the pain and roared, "Enough talk! Dorry, let's fight to the death!"
However, due to his injuries, Brogy was in extremely poor condition, barely able to defend against Dorry's attacks.
Just then, Cheng Xiaoyu saw MR.3 appear at the edge of the battlefield.
He was hidden in the bushes, silently manipulating his Wax-Wax Fruit ability. Pale candle chains suddenly extended from the ground, like the talons of a raptor hunting a giant beast, accurately coiling around Brogy's feet.
"Thud!" Brogy, losing his balance, crashed to the ground. He coughed up blood from his mouth, trying to break free from the chains, but the wax substance was incredibly tough, making him even weaker.
Dorry saw his opponent fall but didn't realize it was human intervention.
Despite dueling for a century, he had never suspected Brogy's habits, simply assuming this was a normal occurrence in their countless clashes.
He raised his giant battle-axe and brought it down with a crash!
Blood gushed, and Brogy let out a suppressed groan.
He was severely wounded, almost losing all ability to resist, his massive body creating a deep crater in the earth.
"Hahahahaha! Brogy, you lost!" Dorry roared excitedly.
Seeing this, MR.3 immediately used wax to control Dorry as well, preventing him from causing any more trouble.
"Now, let me end this boring duel!" MR.3 said with a triumphant laugh.
A sharp glint flashed in Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes; he knew the best moment had arrived.
"Bang!"
A bullet imbued with Armament Haki whistled out of the barrel, tracing a path of death through the night.
The bullet pierced Dorry's forehead at an incredibly fast speed. His pupils instantly dilated, and his massive body became completely silent in an instant, after a hundred years.
Before those around could react, Cheng Xiaoyu pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!"
This shot was aimed at Brogy. The giant didn't have time to notice, only felt a chill on his forehead, and then lost consciousness. His massive body crashed down, stirring up an even larger wave of dust.
MR.3's eyes widened, and he looked around in terror.
His hands were trembling, his lips quivering, unable to utter a complete sentence, "Th-this… How is this possible!"
MR.3 was completely dumbfounded. He looked in terror towards the direction of the gunshot, only to see a figure slowly emerge from the shadows.
"Who… who are you?" MR.3 asked, trembling.
Cheng Xiaoyu's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold smile: "I'm here to send you on your way."
Silence fell over the scene, with only the dim glow of the still-lingering candle ability.
However, the next second, Cheng Xiaoyu's gun was already aimed at him.
"Bang!" Without any hesitation, the bullet pierced through MR.3's brow.
Then came Goldenweek, MR.5, and those minor characters who bothered Cheng Xiaoyu. His movements were fluid and ruthless, without a hint of mercy.
The domineering gunshots echoed repeatedly through the jungle, and figures continuously fell, staining the ground red.
"Stand up! Elbaf's Giant Shadows."
Cheng Xiaoyu whispered to the corpses on the ground, "Once you become shadows, you can fight to your heart's content!"
As he finished speaking, two massive shadows rose from the corpses, blotting out the sky and resembling two ancient demon gods.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaoyu immediately absorbed them into his own shadow, then quickly left Small Garden, as if he had never appeared.
When Luffy struggled out from under the mountain and reached the duel site, he only saw a ground littered with corpses and the pervasive smell of blood in the air.
"Brogy!!!" Luffy screamed in terror, but no one responded.
He had no idea what had happened, only feeling a chill run from his feet to the top of his head.
"Who did this?!" Luffy clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger and confusion.
Luffy's mournful cries echoed in the empty Small Garden, but received no response.
Cheng Xiaoyu's figure had long vanished into the vast sea, leaving behind only the corpses and the suffocating smell of blood.
