"Alright!" Luffy stretched his arms, his grin wider than ever. "Let's go see those giants!"
Robin, standing beside him, smiled faintly. "You do realize they might not be friendly and don't forget Jack said that they might be sleeping."
"They'll be my friends," Luffy said confidently, clapping his straw hat. "All giants are friendly once you share meat!"
Sabo chuckled. "That logic… somehow makes sense for you."
Koala rolled her eyes. "Only Luffy would think you can befriend someone the size of a mountain with food."
Robin smirked and got an idea. "I just hope the giant doesn't eat us first."
"Hahaha, I really wanted to see Usopp senpai reaction hearing your joke Robin," said Bartolomeo.
Vivi looked worriedly toward the dense jungle ahead. "Are you sure this is safe? We don't even know what's out there."
Don't worry there is two user of Logia fruit here, Bartolomeo and me," said Sabo. "Furthermore all of you got that combat suit, so why are you still afraid."
Everyone become silent, yes strawhat crew had a combat suit so they didn't need to be afraid here.
"Daddy is it dangerous staying here?" asked Bonney suddenly.
Kuma, calm as ever, adjusted his gloves. "Danger is relative, don't worry dad will punch them if they try to harm you Bonney and don't worry our captain is very strong. "
Luffy punched the air. "See? Even Kuma believes in me!"
"Yeah you are very strong ," Kuma replied, expression unreadable.
"Alright, everyone," Sabo said, stretching his newly magma-coated arm, faint steam rising from it. "Let's move out. We'll scout the northwest side. Earlier Jack readings showed something huge sleeping there and I can also feel the presence using Observation Haki."
As they walked deeper into the jungle, the air grew thick and even the plant here is very different compared to the other plant and tree in other island. Ferns as tall as buildings swayed gently, and insects buzzed like miniature helicopters.
Then, the ground trembled.... BOOM… BOOM… BOOM.
Vivi froze. "Was that an earthquake?"
Koala shook her head slowly. "No… that's footsteps."
"Come on giant, shishishi," Luffy are really excited.
The canopy split open. A massive hand brushed aside the trees, and a voice thundered through the forest.
"GUWAAHAHAHAHA! WHO TRESPASSES IN BROGY DOMAIN?!"
The group looked up and saw a giant unlike anything they'd ever imagined. A colossal man wearing a horned helmet, and a massive axe strapped to his back. His laughter was deep and very loud, echoing across the jungle.
"BROGY!!!" Luffy shouted immediately, stars in his eyes. "It's you! You're so cool!!!"
The giant blinked. "Little human, you are not scared?"
"Scared? Why should I be scared, I wanted you to become my crewmate! By the way I'm Monkey D Luffy! Shishishi!" Luffy yelled back without fear, waving wildly.
Brogy tilted his head, confused then burst into laughter. "GUWAHAHAHA! You've got spirit, little man! I like that!"
Sabo stood beside Luffy, awe on his face. "Although I have sailed much earlier than you, most giant are shorter than him. ."
Koala whispered, "He's… gigantic."
Bonney, grinning, looked up. "I bet his punch could flatten a mountain."
"Or you," Koala muttered.
Brogy crouched down, his eyes kind despite his massive size. "You're brave to come here, small pirates. But this land belongs to warriors! What brings you?"
"Adventure!" Luffy said proudly. "And meat!"
Brogy blinked, then roared with laughter. "HAHAHA! A man of simple dreams! I like that!"
Suddenly, the ground shook again this time, from the opposite direction.
The Volcano just erupted again.
Brogy's eyes sharpened. "So… it's time again."
"Time for what?" asked Vivi.
"My daily battle with Dory, my brother-in-arms," Brogy said, standing to his full height. "For a hundred years, we've fought every day to see whose more stronger!"
"Whoa!!! That's awesome!!" Luffy yelled, his excitement reaching new levels.
Brogy grinned. "Stand back, little warriors. The clash of giants is not for the faint of heart!"
He drew his sword, shouting to the horizon.
"DORRYYYY!! READY YOUR SWORD!"

Meanwhile, deeper in another part of the jungle, Zoro led the second group, Nami, Sanji, Nojiko, Robin's clone projection and Dragon himself, who came mostly to observe.
"Oi, Marimo, you sure you know where we're going?" Sanji asked skeptically, hands in his pockets.
"I told you, the suit's got GPS. I won't get lost," Zoro replied flatly.
"Yeah, well, that thing's probably crying trying to keep up with your sense of direction," Sanji shot back laughing.
"Wanna say that again, eyebrow freak?"
Nojiko sighed. "Boys, please. Don't make me ask Nami to bonk both of you again."
Nami, rubbing her temple, muttered, "I'll do it anyway."
Before their bickering could continue, a deep, rumbling snore shook the jungle floor.
Leaves rained down as a massive figure came into view, the giant figure who are being known as Dory
Dragon's eyes narrowed. "That's Dory the Blue Ogre, the captain of Giant Pirates."
Nami voice trembled. "He's… sleeping."
Zoro squinted. "How can anyone sleep that loud?"
Sanji smirked. "Soundproof lungs, probably."
Nojiko elbowed both of them. "Be quiet! You'll wake him up!"
Too late. The giant's eyes flicked open, glowing faintly in the sunlight. He stretched, and his voice rolled like thunder.
"GRAAAHHH… WHO DISTURBS MY NAP?!"
Everyone froze.
Nojiko calmly stepped forward, hand resting on his swords. "We're just travelers."
Dory blinked, then grinned wide. "Travelers?! GUWAHAHA! Brave enough to stand before a warrior, are you?"
"Captain of Giant Pirates," Dragon stepped forward. "I know you. "
Dory laughed harder. "Hahahaha, eventhough it has been a long time since I caused havoc, the little human still know me!"
"Do you know about them Dragon?" asked Sanji.
"Yes, long time ago there was a Giant Warrior Pirates and he was the captain of that pirates," explained Dragon.
Dory grin become wider, "How long was that?"
"I think more than 50 years ago," replied Dragon.
"Little human, to honor you because you know me, try to block this," said Dory taking out his massive sword and swung it in a wide arc, not at them, but just to test them. The wind pressure alone sent trees flying but Zoro who was fast decided to parry the attack.
Znnnngg!
The Uru metal collided with a normal metal, both of them used haki.
"Your haki is strong, little man," commented Dory. "What is your name?"
"Roronoa Zoro," replied Zoro.
"Wait Dory sama, what kind of test is that!?" asked Nami who had become scared.
Dragon raised a hand calmly, stopping the blast with a thin barrier of wind. "He's not trying to kill us."
Zoro grinned. "Dory how about we spar again?"
He drew his swords, haki coating the blades faintly. "Santoryu… ."
The next second, Dorry swung his sword again but this time, Zoro countered with all of his 3 sword. The collision sent shockwaves rippling through the jungle.
When the dust cleared, Dorry was staring at him with wide eyes, then grinned. "GUWAHAHA! You've got spirit! You remind me of me when I was young!"
Suddenly the Volcano erupted again, Dory looked at the other side.
"I am sorry little man, but our little sparing stop here," said Dory.
***
At that moment, from the other side of the jungle, a massive voice thundered.
"DORY!!"
"BROGY!!"
The two giants roared in unison.
The Straw Hats looked toward two of them and then they saw it.
Two colossal figures running toward each other, weapons raised, laughter booming like thunder.
"ELBAF SPEAR!!!"
"THUNDER SLASH!!!"
The clash of their weapons sent shockwaves that shook the entire island. Trees were uprooted, mountains cracked, and the skies seemed to tremble.
The Straw Hats and Revolutionaries watched in awe as two living legends fought, their battle echoing across time itself.
Luffy's grin widened, pure admiration shining in his eyes.
Jack's voice crackled through their wrist communicators, sounding amused.
"Everyone still alive?"
"Barely!" Nami yelled, ducking behind a rock.
"Good," Jack replied calmly. "Luffy, don't forget to invite both of them into our ship when they finished fighting."
"Okie dokie," said Luffy while mimicking Anya Forger Okie Dokie.
***
Dorry and Brogy walked behind the Straw Hat pirates, their steps shaking and make the earth trembled every time they stepped forward. Trees toppled with every move, animals scattered, and even dinosaurs fled upon hearing of their footsteps.
"GWAHAHAHAHA! That was a fine clash today!" Brogy boomed.
"Aye! Your axe grew stronger, Brogy!" Dory replied, his laughter echoing across the prehistoric jungle. "On the next fight I will claim my victory. !"
"That's what you said before!" Brogy retorted, swinging his axe at the air.
Nami whispered from a distance, "Do they ever… stop fighting?"
Koala shook her head. "I don't think they know how."
Bonney was munching on a fruit while walking, while watching both Giant argued.
Vivi nervously laughed. "They're… very passionate about winning. "
Luffy walked ahead, hands clasped behind his head, humming with excitement. "Just wait, you two! Sanji's cooking! You're gonna love it!"
Brogy leaned down, curious at the blonde man. "This Sanji… is he a warrior?"
"No," Luffy replied without hesitation, "He's the cook!"
Dorry's eyes sparkled. "A warrior… who cooks!?"
Usopp puffed his chest. "That's right! Our cook kicks monsters into meat, then grills them like a master!"
Sanji smirked and lit his cigarette. "That's the closest compliment I've heard from you today, Usopp."
The giants roared with laughter.
"GUWAHAHAHA! THEN WE WILL HONOR HIM WITH A FEAST!"
The party continued forward, occasionally stopping so the giants could push aside massive trees blocking the path. Even Dragon, usually composed, found himself glancing back with mild amusement.
"Elbaf warriors lived by pride—victory was irrelevant to their legacy. They simply lived each day as if it were their last."
Jack's voice followed from behind, calm and thoughtful. "Technically, they're the strongest known race in physical combat. Giant DNA is terrifying. Imagine them at full size in the New World, let alone with haki…"
Koala elbowed him. "Don't give Luffy ideas."
"It's already too late!" Luffy shouted. "Jack please make me big like Giant too."
"No," rejected Jack.
They laughed, and soon the party approached a shore where Going merry was located.
The Going Merry stood anchored in shallow water, its familiar cheerful lamb head waiting for them.
"Ahhh! Home!" Usopp said dramatically. "Sweet… non-dinosaur infested HOME!"
But as soon as the group crossed within one hundred meters of the ship—
Something happened.
First it was subtle: a ripple of distortion in the air, like heat shimmering off desert sand.
Then it hit the giants. Their bodies glowed faintly... golden outlines tracing their limbs.
"Eh?" Brogy blinked. "What is...."
Their forms compressed, shrinking rapidly like shadows under the noon sun.
Everyone stopped in shock.
THUD — THUD
Two figures fell to their knees on the grass.
Where two 20-meter mountain-sized warriors once stood...
Dorry and Brogy were now barely two meters tall.
Exactly the size of an average tall human.
Their weapons and armor, once massive, were reduced along with them, resting beside them like normal blades and shields.
A silence so deep filled the air that even the jungle seemed confused.
"........"
Bonney dropped her fruit.
Bartolomeo's jaw hit the dirt.
Usopp fainted with a soft plop.
Koala slapped her own cheek. "You're seeing this too, right? I didn't hallucinate?"
Sabo stared, eyes huge. "No. That definitely happened."
Nami grabbed Jack's collar. "JACK! IS THIS YOUR DOING!?"
Jack raised both hands defensively. "Hey—hey—hey—! Didn't I explain earlier that Merry had a function reduce someone bigger?!"
Brogy stared at his smaller hands, flexing them like a child discovering fingers.
"I… I… am small?" he murmured.
"Aye…" Dorry whispered in disbelief. "We… shrank."
Sanji looked at both of them disbelief. "Okay, this might actually be useful. I can cook you two food without burning through all our ingredients."
"SANJI!" Nami screeched. "FOOD IS NOT THE ISSUE!"
Luffy, on the other hand?
His eyes shone like he discovered the ONE PIECE.
"YOU'RE SMALL GIANTS! YOU'RE LIKE… GIANT MINI GIANTS!!!"
He burst out laughing, rolling around on the ground like a toddler.
Brogy blinked again. "Your ship… curses us?"
Dorry looked around, eyes narrowing. "We are not cursed warriors! Our honor remains untarnished!"
Robin stepped forward, calm as always. "It's not a curse. The effect activates when you approach the Merry. It's a dimensional compression."
Jack sighed and rubbed the back of his head.
"Spatial anchor field. It's designed to force any oversized beings into a stable two-meter form so they don't break the ship."
The crew collectively screamed.
Even Dragon pinched his nose.
Koala stared at the two former titans. "…This ship is terrifying."
Dorry looked down at his smaller body again.
"…Can I still swing my axe?"
Brogy flexed. "Can I still punch?"
Jack smirked. "Oh, absolutely."
Luffy grin widened.
"THEN COME ON! LET'S EAT!!!"
Brogy and Dorry roared in joy—
"GUWAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"GUWAHAHAHAHA!!!"
