"Kabababa! What a massive frame, Dorry!"
Red Ogre Brogy took several steps forward, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Blue Ogre Dorry.
The two giants raised their heads in unison, sizing up the towering silver-white colossus standing not far away.
Blue Ogre Dorry hefted his giant sword onto his shoulder and laughed heartily in response.
"Yigagaga! Even in Elbaf, it's rare to see a giant this tall, Brogy!"
Whether it was Red Ogre Brogy or Blue Ogre Dorry, both captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates stood over twenty meters tall. To ordinary people, that height would be equivalent to a five- or six-story building...
Yet even these two burly giants seemed stunted and undersized compared to the silver-white behemoth before them.
In terms of sheer height alone, this silver-white giant measured a staggering fifty meters!
Visually, Red Ogre Brogy and Blue Ogre Dorry only reached up to the waist of the silver-white giant!
Just then, the silver-white giant moved.
Under Storm's control, the colossus raised its right hand as clay surged, forming a white greatsword dozens of meters long in its grasp. Then it lifted its left palm, where clay gathered to create a massive white shield—twenty meters tall and ten meters wide—positioned before it.
The Sword-Shield Giant had arrived! Blue Ogre Dorry's eyes gleamed as he stared at the white greatsword, while Red Ogre Brogy drooled over the white shield.
"What a magnificent sword/shield..."
The two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates glanced at their own battered weapons, then exchanged a knowing look.
The same thought flashed through both giants' minds simultaneously—
Let's steal it!
"Gentlemen, I've brought an entire ship's worth of alcohol to Little Garden," the Sword-Shield Giant declared, raising its sword and shield as Storm's voice reached Red Ogre Brogy and Blue Ogre Dorry.
"But whether you get to drink it depends on your performance next!"
The moment the words fell, the Sword-Shield Giant lunged forward on its colossal "super-white legs," charging straight at the two giants.
In just a breath or two, the colossus closed the distance, stopping mere dozens of meters away.
Halting abruptly, it swung its white greatsword high overhead, bringing it down in a devastating vertical slash aimed at the two giants.
The impossibly broad blade carried terrifying momentum, as if it could split the entire island in two.
Even thick-skinned giants like Red Ogre Brogy and Blue Ogre Dorry couldn't afford to take such an attack lightly.
For the first time in over a century, the two stood side by side in battle.
"Brogy/Dorry!"
As if sharing one mind, they raised their circular shields in perfect unison.
"Sun Shield!"
BOOM!!! The Sword-Shield Giant's white greatsword crashed into the red and blue ogres' shields with a thunderous impact.
Where blade met shield, visible shockwaves rippled outward in concentric circles.
The violent shockwave then transformed into a howling gale, sweeping across Little Garden and uprooting nearby trees in its wake.
Sand Crocodile, who had just hurriedly arrived at the island's center from the shore, was immediately struck by the force of the storm, his robes flapping wildly in the wind.
"This power... the strength of the giants!"
Crocodile's eyes gleamed with fervor as he watched the three giants locked in combat on the battlefield.
"If I could harness this kind of power, even Whitebeard—"
Just then, an unexpected change occurred on the battlefield.
Red Ogre Brogy and Blue Ogre Dorry, both wielding round shields, suddenly heard an unusual sound.
Crack, crack—
Brogy and Dorry simultaneously turned toward the source of the noise—their shields, which had fought alongside them for years.
The two giants had been battling each other on Little Garden for a century, and their weapons and equipment were already worn down.
They had just used their round shields to block the Sword-Shield Giant's massive white blade.
The long-neglected shields had finally reached their limit.
Deep, alarming cracks spread rapidly from the center of each shield outward.
It wouldn't be long now.
Brogy and Dorry's round shields were on the verge of complete destruction.
"Dorry/Brogy!"
The two giants spoke in unison once again.
"Let's use that move! Kabababa/Eeegagaga!"
Amid their booming laughter, the muscles in their arms bulged tremendously.
They channeled explosive power into the nearly shattered round shields strapped to their arms.
In the next moment, Brogy and Dorry unleashed their full strength.
The two shields, now on the brink of destruction, erupted with overwhelming force.
"Interception!"
Despite the odd name, the technique's power was astonishing.
Amid the shower of shield fragments, the Sword-Shield Giant's massive white blade was forcefully flung into the air.
Even its enormous body staggered backward several steps under the combined might of the two giants.
Brogy and Dorry were legendary warriors of the giant race, seasoned in countless battles.
They instantly seized this opening and charged forward.
Despite their massive size, the two giants moved with surprising agility.
Before the Sword-Shield Giant could regain its footing, Brogy and Dorry closed the distance, leaping into the air on either side.
"Now!" Neither Brogy nor Dorry cared about their shattered shields.
The former swung his massive axe from left to right, while the latter slashed his greatsword from right to left.
Their weapons moved almost simultaneously.
The colossal axe and sword of the Red and Blue Ogres struck the Sword-Shield Giant in a cross-shaped assault.
"Sun Saw!"
The Sword-Shield Giant barely managed to raise its white shield to block Dorry's descending blade.
Clang!!! The collision between the ceramic shield and the metal sword resonated like the tolling of a massive bell.
Blue Ogre Dorry's massive sword strike came to an abrupt halt.
But Red Ogre Brogy's giant axe met no resistance.
Swinging from left to right, the axe struck the defenseless lower back of the Sword-Shield Giant.
With the immense strength of the Giant race, the axe cleaved through the Sword-Shield Giant's Clay body effortlessly.
Red Ogre Brogy's colossal battle-axe continued forward until it struck the back of the white giant shield that had just blocked Blue Ogre Dorry's sword.
Under the combined assault from both giants, even the white giant shield couldn't withstand the force and split cleanly down the middle.
Blue Ogre Dorry's sword pressed onward.
Red Ogre Brogy's axe swung back in the opposite direction.
The two giant weapons acted like a saw, cutting through the Sword-Shield Giant's massive body at the waist.
From a distance,
it looked as though the Sword-Shield Giant had been cleanly bisected by Red Ogre Brogy and Blue Ogre Dorry's "Sun Saw"! Without support from below, the upper half of the Sword-Shield Giant plummeted toward the ground.
With a thunderous "BOOM,"
the upper half of the Sword-Shield Giant crashed heavily onto the land of Little Garden, shaking the entire ground.
The soft, ordinary Clay couldn't endure such an impact and simply dissolved—
literally turning into a puddle of Clay.
White Clay spread across the ground like a carpet, completely erasing any trace of the Sword-Shield Giant's upper half.
BOOM! BOOM! Two more deafening impacts.
Red Ogre Brogy and Blue Ogre Dorry, who had just leaped into the air to execute their flawless combo, landed back on the ground.
"KABABABA! The enemy is defeated!"
"Indeed! YIGAGAGA! Though his weapons are gone..."
Before Blue Ogre Dorry could finish, he suddenly noticed an odd sensation beneath his feet.
"Huh? What's wrong with the ground? Why is it so soft?"
"Is it?"
Red Ogre Brogy lifted his right leg and stomped down, sinking nearly half his calf into the earth.
"It's true! The ground feels like mud now..."
Red Ogre Brogy and Blue Ogre Dorry looked up, realizing with shock that not just the ground beneath them had turned to Clay.
The earth, the grass, the rocks, the trees...
Every natural feature within their sight had transformed into white Clay! [Clay-Clay Fruit Awakening]! The Clayified earth surged like an ocean.
A towering wave of white Clay rose into the sky.
Storm stood atop the crest, gazing levelly at the two giants before him.
"That was a battle technique of the Elbaf Giants, wasn't it? Stronger than I expected. Guess I'll have to get serious now."
Under Storm's will, massive globs of Clay gathered from the surrounding earth.
In the blink of an eye, four enormous Clay spheres formed on the ground.
Each stood fifty meters tall.
"Two against one? Sounds like a fair game..."
As Storm's words faded, the four Clay spheres morphed in shape.
Four identical Sword-Shield Giants now stood before Red Ogre Brogy and Blue Ogre Dorry.
"But this is what I call two against one."
Facing the four colossal Sword-Shield Giants that had appeared instantly before them, Red Ogre Brogy and Blue Ogre Dorry's expressions darkened in an instant.
At that moment, Storm's voice, cold as a demon's, rang out once more.
"Now, I'll ask you a question—do these Sword-Shield Giants summon reinforcements or not?"
Both Brogy and Dorry fell into silence.
They merely tightened their grips on their weapons.
"No answer?"
Storm glanced at the four Sword-Shield Giants and spoke softly.
"Then I'll answer for you. The answer is—"
"Summon!"
The moment Storm's words faded, towering waves of Clay surged once more beside each Sword-Shield Giant.
One became two, two became four, four became eight...
By the time the Giant Wave Clay settled back onto the ground, a full sixteen Sword-Shield Giants stood towering over the land of Little Garden.
Sixteen in total! "Don't call me underhanded—you are the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, after all."
Amid Storm's indifferent words, the sixteen Sword-Shield Giants surged forward as one, burying Brogy and Dorry beneath an endless tide of Clay.
The thunderous roar of battle raged on.
Time passed indeterminably.
Before Storm's eyes, two six-star Grand Prize Trophies materialized.
