Chapter 41 Bane: Dorry, please write me a letter of introduction to Elbaf.
Robin left. Before she went, she and Bane told the other bounty hunters that Bane would soon go to Alabasta, join Baroque Works, and become a member of the club.
This announcement helped to unite the team, which had shown some divisions before. Now everyone is part of the same organization, so there is nothing to worry about.
After Robin left, Bane and the others stayed in little garden.
Zoro was practicing his sword skills, Nami was learning some navigation for the Grand Line, and Bane was just eating every day. On this island, apart from his crew and the two giants, he would eat anyone who was alive.
In the first few days after they arrived, the dinosaurs on the island would attack Bane and his group when they saw them, wanting to hunt them.
But after Bane ate a lot on the island for a while, the dinosaurs started running away when they saw the group of two-legged beasts and did not dare to be bold anymore.
On the east side of the island, near a huge cave, the giant Dorry was adding lots of spices to his barbecue grill. The spices were clearly brought to him by someone not long ago.
As the smell of the roasted dinosaur meat filled the air, a noise came from the woods nearby. Then Bane appeared, pulling a huge wooden cart full of barrels of wine.
"You're finally here! " Dorry said happily when he saw Bane.
When Bane and the others climbed up to the small garden, Dorry and Brogy noticed them, but they were too lazy to care. On the third day, while they rested after a fight, Bane came in front of them.
At first, Dorry and Brogy did not want to talk to Bane at all, but the wine he brought smelled too good.
It's been a long time since the two of them had a good drink after fighting here for a hundred years. However, the two giants felt awkward with each other. After fighting for so long, they didn't want to drink with Bane together, so they agreed that Bane would drink with one of them each day, taking turns.
Even though Bane knew the situation before coming, he brought a lot of alcohol on the ship. But it seemed that it still wasn't enough, so in the past few days, he arranged for his subordinates to go back to Whiskey Peak and keep transporting wine.
It is also because of this wine that he now has a very good relationship with the two giants.
"It must be thanks to your amazing skills. I can smell the food from the camp," Bane laughed.
"I have used my best cooking skills to entertain you. You are really impressive, little guy. This is the first time I've seen a human who can eat more than me! " Dorry said with a smile.
During their first dinner together, Bane amazed him. No matter how much wine he drank or how much meat he ate, it seemed like Bane would never be full. He could eat more than a giant like Dorry.
Because of this generosity, Dorry respected Bane even more.
While Dorry was cooking here, Bane unloaded barrels of wine and drinks from the car and stacked them next to their huge dining table, piling them up like a mountain.
"Have you made any progress in the past two days? " Dorry asked while placing the roasted dinosaur on the table.
"Yesterday, Brogy had a slight advantage over me in a wrestling match. According to him, he won't be able to beat me in the next three to five days," Bane said with a bit of pride.
The giants are undoubtedly very powerful. Dorry and Brogy are not ordinary giants; they are heroic figures among the giants, and their strength is even greater.
Yet, even in this situation, Bane is almost surpassing both of them in basic strength, showing how quickly and impressively he has grown in little garden during this time.
"Is that true? " Dorry looked at Bane with suspicion.
"Why don't you try it? " Bane said, showing his arm.
Dorry grabbed Bane's arm and held it in his hand. Then they both exerted force at the same time. With a loud bang, the ground cracked and both of them let out deep roars.
In that moment, Dorry could clearly feel that even while trying his hardest to pull Bane toward him, Bane stood firm like a root in the ground, not moving at all.
After this wrestling stalemate lasted for six or seven minutes, Bane's face turned red, and his body shook a little, as if he couldn't hold on any longer.
Dorry felt the same way. His veins bulged on his muscular arms, muscles shifted back and forth, and he trembled uncontrollably. His expression became much more fierce, but in the end, he managed to pull Bane and stepped forward, meaning he won.
But even though he won, Dorry was not excited at all. Instead, he said in shock, "You...Brogy is right. In a few days, I'm afraid we won't be able to beat you! You are growing too fast, it's too scary! "
Bane held onto the table, breathing heavily. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and said, "I am meant to be the strongest man in this sea. You should be proud that you can beat me now, hahahaha. "
"Hahahaha, brat, you're so arrogant! " Dorry also said with a big laugh.
Then, the two of them began to eat meat, drink wine, and chat about all sorts of things.
After chatting for a while, Bane said, "If I win in a few days, you two must remember our agreement. "
Hearing this, Dorry was stunned for a moment. Then he said with emotion, "At first, I just wanted to get some drinks from you, but I didn't expect you to actually do it."
Dorry gulped down a bucket of wine. Then he said proudly, "But the warriors of Elbaf never break their promises. Don't worry, when you beat me in strength, I will teach you the Spear of Elbaf! "
The Spear of Elbaf is the unique skill of the Giants, and it is extremely powerful. However, to learn this skill, you must first have very strong physical fitness and great strength.
In the original story, apart from the members of the giant tribe, only Big Mom and Kaido can use this combat skill from the giant tribe.
The others either can't do it or do not qualify.
The power that Bane is showing now is actually up to the standard. Dorry feels that this guy's basic strength is already much greater than that of most giants, but according to the agreement, he has to defeat him.
The same goes for Brogy. He will also teach Bane the Spear of Elbaf.
There are many variants, such as Hakoku Sovereignty, Gungnir, etc.
This is a complete set of advanced combat skills, but according to Dorry and Brogy, there are many combat skills in it that Bane cannot master because of his size and can only use them as a reference at best.
Bane didn't care about this. He was in a time of strong growth, but he didn't have many hidden skills. So, he came to little garden to master some powerful moves, from these giants. If nothing else, he would be happy if he could learn Elbaf's spear.
After dropping this subject, Ben said while drinking, "You two old guys have been fighting here for a hundred years. Isn't it time to stop? "
"How can it end like this when the winner hasn't been decided yet? " Dorry replied without hesitation.
"But the Giant Pirates fell apart because of this, and some of your people were tricked by the World Government. They are now guarding the gate on Judicial Island," Bane said again.
He had mentioned this before to these two. After hearing this, Dorry looked a bit unsure.
"I should go to Elbaf in two years. Should I have your people pick you up then? There's no point in continuing. Why don't you guys head back to Elbaf and fight again? " Bane asked casually as he noticed Dong Li's hesitation.
Dorry finally sighed and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
"It's not a problem. Please write me a letter of introduction to Elbaf later, so I can help you get in touch with your contacts there. Then give me a log pose." Bane said casually.
Dorry didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement, "Okay. "
