For the proud and warlike warriors of Elbaf,
no amount of words could compare to a true display of skill.
If Roland had told them to come at him together from the start,
there would have been a lot of unnecessary bickering between the two sides.
Therefore...
Roland chose to directly attack both of them.
He used absolute strength to silence them.
After that, saying 'you two come at me together' would have significantly more persuasive power.
And that was exactly the case.
At this moment,
listening to Roland's arrogant challenge of one against two,
neither Dorry the Blue Ogre nor Red Ogre Brogy mocked or refuted him.
The two giant soldier captains exchanged glances, and both saw shock in the other's eyes.
A master's move reveals their skill.
Roland's previous move, which took both of them down, was enough for them to understand his capabilities.
"Gababababa, that really startled me. Kid, are you the giant soldier captain of this era? Have you come to establish your authority with us two old guys this time?"
Red Ogre Brogy stood up, his fighting spirit gradually rising.
"No, I'm just a passing traveler!"
Roland replied with a smile.
"Gugajajaja, I understand, I understand. You want us to defeat you before you say anything, right? Alright, then as you wish, old ghost, how many years has it been since we fought side by side!"
Dorry the Blue Ogre looked at his old friend Brogy.
"I can't remember!"
Red Ogre Brogy put down his Bruiser Battle Axe and was about to remove his round shield.
"Wait."
Roland spoke to stop him.
"What's wrong? Kid, have you changed your mind?"
Red Ogre Brogy asked.
"No, no, no."
Roland shook his head, turned, picked up Qing Gui's sword and shield, and threw them in front of Dongli.
"Hm?"
The two giant soldier captains both looked puzzled.
"I want to fight you in your complete state. Without your weapons, many of your techniques can't be used, right?"
Roland grinned.
"Besides, you don't have to worry about me not having weapons, because my fists are the strongest weapons!"
As Roland's words fell, the vast battlefield fell silent.
A moment later,
"Gugajajaja."
"Gababababa."
The two giant soldier captains laughed in unison.
"Good, good, good, what ambition! Truly worthy of being a warrior of our Elbaf!"
Red Ogre Brogy picked up his battle axe again.
"We have felt your resolve, so we will not hold back and will respond to you with our full strength!"
Dorry the Blue Ogre also re-equipped his greatsword and round shield.
"Then let's begin!"
Roland strode forward.
"This time, it's your turn to try my shield bash!"
Red Ogre Brogy charged forward, leaping up, and slammed his left-hand round shield towards Roland.
Roland did not dodge, raising his right arm, his forearm colliding with the round shield.
The next second,
the sound of rushing wind exploded.
Red Ogre Brogy swung the Bruiser Battle Axe in his right hand, striking with the flat of the axe.
Due to Roland having no weapon, Brogy was somewhat holding back, not using the axe blade to chop.
In response, Roland only needed to speak with his strength.
Clang!
Roland's left hand formed a fist, and a powerful strike collided with the flat of Brogy's battle axe.
Immediately following, his body moved with his will, and a knee strike sent Brogy flying backward.
"Well done!"
Dorry the Blue Ogre, who was 'observing' from the side, strode forward and launched an attack on Roland.
Roland was fearless, meeting him head-on, and before long, Dorry the Blue Ogre was also forced to retreat repeatedly.
Red Ogre Brogy returned, then retreated, then it was Dorry the Blue Ogre...
After several such exchanges, the two giant soldier captains exchanged glances and finally decided to team up.
"Kid, watch closely, this is Elbaf's combined combat technique!"
"Sun Saw!!!"
The two giant soldier captains attacked together.
This time, there was no holding back whatsoever.
The battle axe and greatsword intertwined, slashing towards Roland.
In the Egghead Island battle, they used this move to cut Mercury, one of the Five Elders, into three pieces, saving Luffy.
"Excellent!"
Roland was not surprised but rather delighted, having waited for their combined attack.
In an instant, Roland changed from the fierce Baji Fist to the balanced Beast Strike.
His hands seemed to create afterimages, controlling and guiding their power before Dongli and Brogy's combined attack could even fully form.
The technique of leveraging force against force from Beast Strike was fully utilized by Roland at this moment, causing the greatsword and battle axe to collide.
Crack!
Slam!
Dorry the Blue Ogre's greatsword broke.
Red Ogre Brogy's battle axe also shattered.
"Old ghost, what are you doing? After so many years without working together, you're already messing up!"
Dorry the Blue Ogre scolded him, dissatisfied.
"Don't talk nonsense, this isn't because of either of us, but because of that man. It seems he's even more formidable than we imagined!"
Red Ogre Brogy took a deep breath, speaking solemnly.
"If your attacks are finished, then it's my turn next!"
Roland smiled slightly.
"Come on!"
The two giant soldier captains simultaneously raised their round shields, entering a defensive stance.
Sun Shield!!!
Iron Mountain Lean!!!
Roland charged, using his body to collide with the shields of the two giant soldier captains.
Against a single giant soldier captain, Roland's Iron Mountain Lean could easily send him flying.
However, the Sun Shield, a combined effort of the two giant soldier captains, actually forced Roland to fly backward.
"Gababababa, don't underestimate Elbaf's combat techniques!"
"Gugajajaja, our Sun Shield won't be easily broken!"
The two giant soldier captains, having gained an advantage for the first time, immediately became a bit smug.
And they certainly had the right to be smug.
In the future Egghead Island battle, they used this move to block Mercury's strongest fanged charge among the Five Elders.
"This is what makes it even more interesting!"
Roland's fighting spirit and aura around him did not diminish but rather increased.
Invisibly, it was as if 'qi' was flowing around him.
