Huh?
Hearing his own boss talk about a new boss, Galdino couldn't process it for a moment.
The others looked even more bewildered.
"A word of advice, stay far away."
After saying this, Crocodile cut off the connection.
Galdino and his men around him looked at each other.
"What in the world is...?"
"The Boss said it, do you dare to disobey? Who on earth is this person?"
Galdino looked at the three individuals in a standoff in the distance, wondering what had happened in Alabasta.
...
Cyrus looked from one giant to the other.
Although he had seen people of extraordinary size since coming to this world, like Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru, and even larger creatures like the island whale Laboon, he was still filled with curiosity now that he was seeing two giants over twenty meters tall.
Meanwhile, Dorry and Brogy stared grimly at the suddenly-appeared Cyrus, their expressions grave.
Just a moment ago, this person who had appeared out of nowhere had forcefully separated them while they were locked in a contest of strength, as if he were a giant with even greater power than them.
"Who are you, little man?"
Brogy looked down at Cyrus and asked.
"Cyrus!"
"Why did you stop our fight?"
This was Dorry asking.
Compared to Brogy's somewhat rounder body, Dorry's overall body proportions were similar to a normal human's, just magnified many times over.
"I just wanted to witness the strength of the giant race."
Cyrus didn't hide his intentions upon hearing the question.
Looking for trouble?
Dorry and Brogy exchanged a glance.
"I've heard that the giant race can use a powerful move that unleashes a terrifying shockwave, capable of destroying anything in its path. I want to see if I can take that blow."
As Cyrus spoke, flames erupted from his body, and he floated up to the same height as the two giants.
"Are you looking to die, you little punk?" Brogy was taken aback.
Many people knew of their combined attack; the Giant Pirate Crew had been quite famous back in the day.
But this little guy in front of them actually wanted to test that move?
"No one has ever survived that attack," Dorry said with a serious expression.
"Is that so!"
Cyrus frowned slightly and looked at the two giants.
Despite their massive size, most giants had rather simple and honest personalities, and these two seemed to be of the same nature.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent a hundred years fighting just to settle a dispute over whose prey was bigger.
No one else could understand why they would do such a thing.
Cyrus couldn't understand it either.
However, he had no intention of explaining further to the two giants.
Cyrus's body flashed, and he appeared next to Brogy's head.
Noticing Cyrus's figure suddenly appear before his eyes, Brogy retreated abruptly with a speed that defied his size.
However, Cyrus's fist, wreathed in Armament Haki, had already struck the side of his face.
Boom!
A shockwave erupted between the fist and Brogy's thick cheek.
Then, Brogy, a giant over twenty meters tall, was sent flying by Cyrus's punch toward one side of the island.
Galdino and his men's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Cold sweat instantly drenched their bodies.
Because the flying Brogy was heading right for them.
Without a moment's hesitation, the group turned and ran.
The other giant, Dorry, had attacked the instant Cyrus made his move, clearly possessing excellent combat instincts.
A massive sword blade came slashing down at Cyrus.
With a flash of fire, Cyrus appeared in front of Dorry.
This time, however, a huge shield came smashing down toward Cyrus.
"Nice one!"
A smile appeared on Cyrus's face.
He pulled his right fist back, and Armament Haki flowed into it.
The extremely condensed Armament Haki shimmered with a dark red light.
Then, Cyrus threw a sudden punch, smashing it heavily against the incoming shield.
A cracking sound rang out.
A hundred years of fighting had already left the sturdy shield somewhat damaged.
Under Cyrus's punch, the shield shattered and exploded.
The immense force caused Dorry to slide backward before falling onto his back.
Galdino and his men huddled together.
The falling Brogy had almost crushed them.
Bloodshot veins appeared in Brogy's eyes as he fell.
He glanced at the group of men huddled together near his head, then abruptly sat up, his eyes fixed on Cyrus, who was floating in the air wreathed in flames.
On the other side, Dorry also shot to his feet, tossing away the tattered shield straps in his left hand and watching Cyrus warily.
This guy was strong!
"Can we try it now?"
Cyrus looked at the two giants who had gotten back up and asked again.
"Don't you underestimate us, you punk!"
Dorry roared, swinging his giant sword and slashing at Cyrus once more.
The earth trembled. Brogy, who had been thrown into the distance, came sprinting back, then leaped high into the air, his giant axe also chopping down at Cyrus.
Flame was unsheathed.
Cyrus raised his hand and drew his sword.
Seeing the two massive weapons descending upon him, he swung his blade in an upward slash.
A ferocious slash soared into the sky, knocking away the two descending giant blades and continuing straight up into the clouds.
The two giants staggered back again, looking at Cyrus in horror.
On the other side, Issho and Robin had reached the shore of Little Garden.
The ship, under the influence of the gravity controlled by Issho, floated directly into mid-air, just in time to see the sky-piercing slash send the two giants flying.
"Is the plan to have a fight first?" Robin asked curiously, looking at the situation on the far side of the island.
"I am not sure either," Issho replied.
In truth, Issho was also interested in the giant race's technique that Cyrus had mentioned.
He had never heard of it before, but for Cyrus to want to test it, the move must be extraordinary.
"There are people over there!"
Robin turned her head and saw several figures running frantically toward the sea.
"They should be Crocodile's subordinates," Robin said after a moment's thought.
Issho nodded.
His Observation Haki had also detected the men, but right now, his Haki was focused on the fight between Cyrus and the two giants.
The two giants weren't actually weak, in Issho's opinion.
Their defense and strength were astonishing, fitting the perception of giants.
However, in front of Cyrus, it was clearly not enough.
"A direct contest of strength with giants... Cyrus's power has reached such a level!"
His Observation Haki perceived that every one of Cyrus's slashes forced the two giants to struggle to defend, and it was obvious Cyrus wasn't even being very serious.
The difference in their strength was clear.
"But what about that move Cyrus mentioned?"
Hearing Issho's words, Robin was also a little puzzled.
...
Under Cyrus's relentless slashes, the two giants struggled to hold on, retreating continuously.
Their heavy stomps made the entire Little Garden lively.
This island was teeming with life.
All sorts of strange and exotic animals fled from the commotion of the three-way battle, desperately trying to get away from them.
"Are you really not going to use your combined attack? I'm really fine!"
