Alright..." Nami sighed, then walked over to Ben's side and grabbed his arm. "You must stay with me, understand!""I know, I know." Ben patted her arm, signaling her to calm down. "Even if I have to go out, I'll take you with me."This put Nami's mind at ease. As expected, staying by Ben's side when there was danger provided the greatest sense of security."Um, I..." Usopp popped out from the side, wanting to say something, but was grabbed by Zoro. "Just stay put and be quiet."Why can't he read the room?"Zoro, you'll protect me, right!" Usopp looked at Zoro with a face full of expectation; his expression was as pathetic as it could possibly get."Yes, yes, yes, I'll protect you." Zoro pushed Usopp's face away with a look of disgust. "Stay away from me."You're a man too, for goodness' sake!Please give me data~ Throw all your flowers and tickets at me! Thank you, everyone~.Chapter 47: Sparks of Love~"Alright everyone, I'm going with Luffy." Vivi waved her hand. "I'll be back once I've looked around enough."Watching the backs of the two people walking away, Usopp said with a sigh, "As expected of a woman who could infiltrate an enemy organization..."She really isn't afraid of anything at a time like this.Thinking of this, Usopp pondered for a moment. Should he go out for a stroll too?But the moment he thought of the miserable death of that king of beasts earlier, Usopp shivered. "Forget it, forget it."It wouldn't be good if he happened to be targeted by some terrifying entity."Since I don't have anything to do anyway, I'll go out for a walk too." Zoro twisted his neck and leaped down."A walk?!" Usopp was shocked. Is this guy really going to be okay going out for a walk?This guy is directionally challenged, right... Can he really find his way back?"Hey, Zoro." Sanji immediately rushed to the side of the ship and said, "Since the food on the ship is running low, if you see any edible beasts or something, just grab them on your way back."This shouldn't be a problem at all for this bastard."I got it." Zoro nodded, then revealed a provocative expression. "I'll bring back some prey that you couldn't catch no matter what."With that, he turned and left. Once he caught the prey, he would come back and properly mock this perverted cook."Wait a second, Zoro!" Sanji looked at Zoro with an unhappy expression. "I can't just pretend I didn't hear that.""You're saying you can catch bigger prey than me?!""Of course!" Zoro looked back at Sanji and provoked him. "After all, I'm stronger than you!""What did you say?!" Sanji jumped down and glared fiercely at Zoro. Zoro didn't back down either and glared back.It was as if sparks of love... ah no, angry lightning, were flashing between the two of them."How about you two have a hunting competition?" Ben walked over with his arms crossed. "Compete to see who catches the bigger prey!""Then you just need to compare who brought back more meat."This place is a paradise for ancient creatures; huge prey can be seen everywhere~"Fine!" X2! Zoro and Sanji answered in unison, though the lightning between them flashed even more intensely.Of course, this was just in Ben's imagination."Hmph, Marimo, I will definitely hunt down prey that you can never surpass!""You're overthinking it, perverted cook, the winner will definitely be me!""We'll see about that!""Hmph." Watching the two walk off in opposite directions, Nami covered her face with her hand. "How are they like children..."To think they would compete for such a childish reason? Men are really..."Wait, this isn't right!" Usopp realized. "If Zoroleaves, what am I supposed to do?!"Didn't he promise to protect me? Zoro, you liar!"You can still catch up if you go now." Ben gestured with his chin in the direction Zoro had left. "But you have to pray he doesn't get lost."If he takes a detour when it's supposed to be a straight line, nobody will be able to find him.Usopp, who was just about to chase after him, hesitated upon hearing this. He wondered to himself, what if he couldn't find Zoro and ran into some terrifying monster? Was he a goner?As it happened, a terrifying roar echoed from the distance at that moment, scaring Usopp so much that he jumped up. "What was that?!"Forget it, forget it, I'm not going, I'm not going. It wouldn't be good if I got killed by some monster halfway. At the very least, there's still a strong person on the ship.Thinking of this, Usopp immediately went to hug Ben's leg and said with a mournful face, "Ben, you have to protect me.""I know, I know, let go." Ben looked at Usopp with a look of disgust. "Snot, your snot is getting on my pants!"As he spoke, Ben lifted his leg, shaking Usopp off. If you have something to say, just say it, why do you have to pounce on me? Most importantly, don't rub your snot on me!After shaking Usopp off, Ben said speechlessly, "I'll have to change my pants in a bit." Honestly, you're a man, what the hell are you crying for."Let's just wait here quietly." Nami glanced at the log pose on her wrist and said, "By the time they get back, the magnetic force should be fully stored...""That's not necessarily true." Ben shook his head. "Some islands take a long time to store magnetic force." How long was this island again? He forgot the specifics, but the time was definitely not short."Then what should we do?" "Let nature take its course." Ben smiled. "There will always be a way.""Oh, right, this is for you." Ben took a bracelet out of his pocket and said, "Put this on." "What is this?""A bracelet to repel various insects." After putting it on Nami, Ben said, "As long as you wear this, any insect on this island will instinctively stay away from you."He remembered that Nami got sick because of the ancient insects on this island. So he made preparations in advance."Is that so." Hearing this, Nami revealed a sweet smile. "Thank you, Ben." To be so thoughtful~ Namifelt warm inside.Ben smiled. "It's only right." The two looked at each other silently, sparks of love flashing in their gazes.Just at this moment, Usopp came up and said, "Ben, give me one too.""#" Ben's eyelid twitched. He turned his head and looked at Usopp kindly. "Why would a grown man like you need this?!" "Also, don't you have anything to do, kid!"This guy really can't read the room; didn't he see I was busy? Seeing Ben's expression, Usoppsubconsciously shivered. What's going on? He didn't say anything wrong."Alright, alright." Nami patted Ben and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities later." She knew why Ben was like this. At the same time, she was also a bit emotional; how did someone as dense as Usoppcapture Kaya's heart?"Hmph, fine." Since Nami said so, he wouldn't deal with this kid Usopp.Chapter 48: The Strongest Warrior of Elbaf!"What's that sound?" Usopp, who was sitting on the ground researching something, stood up after hearing a sound and looked into the distance. "Hey, Ben, Nami, it seems like some creature of massive size is approaching us."This heavy sound, it sounds like footsteps. Could it be that monster that killed the tiger? Thinking of this, Usopp immediately became a bit panicked. He only felt a bit more secure after Ben came out of the cabin. "What's wrong?"
Look over there." Usopp pointed into the distance, where trees were falling down one by one.Ben narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and said, "Has it arrived?"That Giant Race member, Brogy."What has arrived?" Nami tugged at her clothes and asked, puzzled.She then noticed the changes in the distance and was instantly dumbfounded, "What is that?!"An unimaginably huge person?!"Gababababa!" Brogy laughed happily. How long had it been since anyone came here?It looked like he would be able to drink alcohol again this time."A monster!""Gababababa." Brogy laughed, "Do you have any alcohol?"He was craving it so much.Ben glanced at the two people who had lost the ability to speak and held his forehead. It's just a member of the Giant Race, why are you so scared?"Hey, mister, you're from the Giant Race, right?""Hm?" Brogy glanced at Ben, somewhat surprised. Was this person actually not afraid of him?"That's right, I am from the Giant Race, the strongest warrior of Elbaf!""I haven't seen any human beings here for a long time, I just don't know if you have any alcohol."Just at this moment, Brogy suddenly let out a miserable scream."What happened again?!" Usopp shuddered in fear, then immediately noticed the situation behind Brogy, "D... Dinosaur?!"Why are there dinosaurs here!"I was just worrying about not having a side dish for my alcohol, and you actually delivered yourself to my door?" Brogy looked viciously at the dinosaur biting his body, drew his weapon, and brought down a fierce axe strike, chopping the opponent's head straight off."Alright, now that we have meat, let me properly entertain you, guests~""It just so happens that no humans have been here for decades.""Tell me properly about the situation outside."He was very interested in the adventure stories of these guys!"Decades?" Usopp was dumbfounded. Isn't decades a bit too exaggerated?"The Giant Race has a lifespan of three hundred years." Ben said with an expression of 'don't make such a fuss', "This mister is probably only a little over a hundred years old right now."He then looked at Brogy and said, "We have quite a lot of fine wine on our ship, let's eat and chat in a while.""Gababababa!" Brogy laughed, "Good!"This human was very much to his liking; he liked him.At this time, Luffy had already encountered another member of the Giant Race named Dorry.It was the other party who had severed the dinosaur's neck with one strike, which avoided the fate of Luffy falling into the dinosaur's stomach.Looking at Luffy, who had fallen into his hands, Dorry laughed very happily."I saw it all. You actually dared to fight the long-neck in this forest; you really are a person with spirit!"And the Giant Race likes people with spirit the most!They also like making friends with such people the most!"No guests have come for a long time, let me entertain you.""So big, are you a human?" Luffy looked at Dorrywith a face full of wonder. It was his first time seeing such a big person."You're asking if I'm a human?" Dorry laughed again, "I am the strongest warrior of Elbaf - Dorry!"Looking at the situation in the distance, Vivi's legs went weak."The Giant Race..."She had heard of them before, but this was her first time seeing a real member of the Giant Race.She didn't know if they would eat people..."I am Luffy, a pirate!""A pirate?" A trace of reminiscence flashed in Dorry's eyes, "That is truly nice."He was also a pirate once, after all."How about this, I'll invite you to be guests at my home." Dorry laughed very happily.He hadn't been in contact with people from the outside world for too long, so he didn't know what the outside world was like now.He was really quite curious now."Sure." Luffy agreed, while simultaneously pulling along Vivi and Kuai Pao Ya.Vivi was completely numb.Why did you have to bring me along...If the Giant Race happens to eat people, wouldn't she be done for?On the other side, Ben and the others had followed Brogy back to his dwelling.Brogy skillfully chopped wood and lit a fire, setting up a huge barbecue grill."It will be ready soon." Brogy leaned against a rock to the side and looked at Ben, saying, "You are a Devil Fruit User, right."Just a moment ago, he had watched this guy stuff things into his pocket.This is not something an ordinary human could do; only those who have eaten a Devil Fruit possess such miraculous power."You could say that." Ben nodded, then took out a huge wine cup suitable for the Giant Race from his pocket and placed it on the ground, saying, "Here, this is for you.""You can drink to your heart's content."Seeing the swaying liquid in the wine cup, Brogy's eyes instantly lit up, and he picked it up and took a drink."Refreshing!""You're not bad."To actually be so thoughtful and prepare a wine cup suitable for him, he really is a good person."How come there's such a big wine cup?" Namilooked at Ben with a face full of surprise. When did he get it? How come she didn't know?"Ah, I just made it on the fly just now.""Just now?!!" Nami's voice raised quite a bit, "That fast?""But why didn't I see you..."She didn't even see such a big thing."Ah, this is a foldable one, so it wasn't particularly big when I made it. It's normal that you didn't notice." After Ben explained, he looked at Brogy and said, "I say, mister, aren't you lonely staying here?"Brogy, who had taken a sip of alcohol, looked at Benand laughed, "I have a very important thing to do here, how could I possibly be lonely?"At least before he defeats Dorry, he will not leave here!One of them must fall; that is the rule of Elbaf!Please vote for the little author~.Chapter 49: A Happy FeastAfter listening to Brogy recount the story between him and Dorry, little stars immediately appeared in Usopp's eyes, "So cool!""A duel between true men, and the kind that has lasted for a hundred years!"This is the kind he yearned for!"Hey, Mister Brogy, can I also become as cool a warrior of the sea as you?!""Gabababa~" Brogy laughed and nodded, "As long as you are brave enough, of course you can!"This group of little guys was very much to his liking."Lasted for a hundred years..." Nami's face was full of disbelief; she simply couldn't believe her ears.Are there really people in this world who would fight each other for a hundred years?She really couldn't understand men's way of thinking."Do you have some irreconcilable hatred between you?""Hatred?" Brogy reached out and scratched his face, saying, "I don't think so. We were actually the best of friends back then.""Nami:???"Is this how you treat your best friends?Wanting to hack the other person to death every single day?Thinking of this, Nami felt a bit of regret.Being friends with this Giant Race member is not a good decision..."There must be a reason." Usopp said with a puzzled face, "Or is this your custom?"Upon hearing this, Brogy pondered for a moment, carefully recalling what it was actually because of in the beginning.After a moment, he gave up, because there were no images in his mind."If you put it that way, that counts too." Brogy said while fiddling with the barbecue, "Our Giant Racehas a custom: if two people cannot agree on something, they resolve the problem through a duel.""But I forgot specifically what matter it was."A hundred years is simply too long; he couldn't remember what it was about at all.Now he only remembers one thing, which is that the two of them must determine a winner before they can leave here.Otherwise, it would be blaspheming the great God of Elbaf.
You two have enough patience to have been fighting for a whole hundred years." Ben looked at Brogy with a strange expression; even with a long lifespan, one shouldn't squander it like this.There are so many interesting things to do in life, yet you waste a hundred years here...To be honest, he couldn't understand the thought process of these two people.Or rather, he couldn't understand the thought process of the entire Elbaf race."I won't give up until I've hacked that bastard Dorryinto the ground!" Brogy snorted a rough breath through his nostrils and said with a very serious face, "I bet it on the glory of the gods of Elbaf!"Nami's mouth twitched. Fine, that made even less sense."Then, Uncle Brogy, how long does it take for the log pose to be fully charged with magnetic force here?" Nami raised her arm to indicate the log poseon her wrist and said, "Once the log pose is full, we'll be leaving.""Oh, is that so?" Brogy laughed out loud upon hearing this. "In that case, you'll need to stay here and keep me company for a year."Nami:???"A year?!""Yes, a year." Brogy smiled and held up one finger. "This island is quite special; it takes a year to fully charge with magnetic force.""But don't you worry, there's no need to worry about food.""There are too many things to eat on this island."Otherwise, he and Dorry would have eaten all the animals on the island long ago during their hundred years here.At the same time, Brogy sighed with emotion; these animals really knew how to reproduce.However, they basically only ate large animals; they didn't care for the small ones.They weren't even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth."What should we do..." Nami looked at Ben for help. "You should have a way, right?"In Nami's eyes, Ben was omnipotent. The kind of person for whom nothing was impossible.Ben rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and nodded. "This is a minor problem, not hard to solve.""But we aren't in a rush to leave right now, so let's just stay and chat with Uncle Brogy for a while."It was just that the speed of charging the magnetic force was a bit slow; all he had to do was speed up the process, right?What? You say that's impossible? Who do you think I am!"Fine..." Nami leaned on Ben's shoulder as if she had lost all her energy. "Then let's wait."That's true, Luffy and the others probably don't want to leave right now either.Let's just wait.Oh, right, that Marimo who loves getting lost will also need some time to get back to the ship."Achoo." That lost user of the Three-Sword Stylesuddenly sneezed, looking around in confusion. "What's going on?""Forget it, let's just chop this dragon down first."Glancing at the triceratops in front of him, Zororushed forward and delivered a single strike, killing it instantly!"Hmph, let's see how that perverted cook compares to me now."He couldn't catch such a large prey even if he worked himself to death!Thinking of this, Zoro happily grabbed the dragon's tail and walked in the direction he remembered coming from. Little did he know, he was heading in exactly the wrong direction...On the other side, Brogy looked at the barbecue on the fire rack and smiled. "It's ready.""Come on, don't be polite, eat." Brogy first placed a huge leaf on the ground, then placed an incredibly massive piece of roasted meat in front of the three of them.Then he ate the roasted meat in his hand, drank his wine, and was as happy as could be.Ben saw this and felt a bit helpless; how were they supposed to eat something so big? He then flicked his finger, cutting a portion of the meat into a size they could handle, and said, "Alright, eat up.""Meat from this kind of ancient species isn't common."Furthermore, Ben suspected that this type of meat would have beneficial effects on the human body. Much like the meat of the Sea Kings in the ocean.Nami and Usopp nodded upon hearing this; that made sense.This was their first time seeing such a creature.Watching the three of them eating happily, Brogylaughed joyfully. "How is it? Tastes good, right?""This is my specialty roasted meat!"Hmm, gotta thank this Tyrannosaurus for contributing the ingredients. Otherwise, he would have had to go hunting elsewhere, which would have been a waste of time~Usopp's mouth was covered in grease, and he had no room to speak; he could only raise his hand and give a thumbs up to show it was great.Brogy laughed even more happily when he saw this. "Cheers to our meeting!""Cheers!"...Asking for data~Dear readers, don't be shy, come on, hit me with flowers and tickets~.Chapter 50: Boots of Agility"Boom!" The volcano in the distance suddenly erupted, interrupting their conversation.Ben looked at the volcano, then glanced at Brogy; he reckoned he was about to go find Dorry."Sorry about that." Brogy picked up his weapons and equipment from the ground and stood up. "I have to leave for a little while.""Uncle, are you going to a duel?""Yes." Brogy looked into the distance, as if he were staring right at Dorry. "You guys just eat here first; once I've taken down Dorry, I'll come back and continue eating and drinking with you!"After saying that, he walked into the distance with heavy footsteps. Soon, Brogy saw Dorry, who was also walking over, and immediately roared as he charged forward."Dorry!""Brogy!""Boom!" The two weapons crashed heavily into each other, creating a terrifying sound of impact. It was like thunder!In the distance, Usopp watched the two fighting, completely stunned."Is... is this the battle between the Giant Race?""Every move is aimed directly at the vitals; they're all killing blows!"This was a battle meant to kill. A special emotion sprouted in Usopp's heart; he also wanted to become a man like that!"Envious, aren't you?" Ben walked up to Usopp and laughed. "As long as you are willing to work hard, one day in the future, you can also become a brave man like them.""Really?!" Usopp looked at Ben with expectation."Yeah." Ben nodded affirmatively. Not to mention anything else, Usopp's performance along this journey was truly beyond reproach.The desperate sniping at Enies Lobby that prevented the Marine from taking Nico Robin away—that was a powerful shot that spanned several kilometers!The ultra-long-range sniping at Dressrosa was no longer just a matter of distance; it was a sniping mission that no other sniper could possibly accomplish!But Usopp did it! This is Usopp, the man known as the God of Snipers.Nami glanced at the happy Usopp, and couldn't help but imagine what Usopp would look like as a giant, and her mouth twitched.A slinger from the Giant Race?The two of them ignored Nami's reaction behind them and silently watched the battle between the two giants."So there's actually a village where such great warriors live." Usopp said with anticipation. "I really want to go and see that place."An island where the great warriors of the Giant Race live."That will have to wait until we reach the New World.""That's true."Ben, who was observing the battle, suddenly sensed a prying gaze and immediately turned his head to look into the distance."They're here?" Ben narrowed his eyes. Although that woman had used her ability to descend the moment he turned his head, his glasses had precisely recorded her appearance. Hmm, including her skirt fluttering in the wind."Who's here?""It's nothing." Ben waved his hand. "Let's watch the fight first."If he remembered correctly, that Mr. 5 was planning to put explosives in the wine here. Thinking of this, Ben slowly turned around and walked towards the back. There were some things he needed to take care of~"What's wrong?" Nami looked at Ben, who had walked to her side, with some confusion."It's nothing, you just stay here and wait." Benlooked into the distance and grinned. "I'm going to catch two little mice."
Although Nami was confused, she didn't continue to ask.Since Ben had said so, she would just wait here.Looking at the battle in the distance, it would probably be decided soon.They were already panting from the fight now...."We must be careful." Mr. 5 said with a vigilant look. "That Ben might have already discovered us."Speaking of this, Mr. 5 glanced at Ms. Valentine with some resentment. He had told her earlier not to fly into the sky, as the target was too big.But she wouldn't listen, and he didn't know if that man had discovered them."Don't worry, I would have landed before he turned his head." Ms. Valentine said with some annoyance. "He couldn't possibly have discovered me."Besides, so what if he did discover us?Could he beat both of them?Don't look at that guy as having a 30 million Berriesbounty; in Ms. Valentine's eyes, he was just trash.He was far inferior to those two guys on the ship.Ms. Valentine even suspected that there was a problem with the bounty.That 30 million Berries bounty should belong to that Three-Sword Style swordsman, not this so-called Scientist.After all, he was someone who could fight to a draw with the Captain, Straw Hat."I hope so." Mr. 5 sighed. If they were discovered, the Giant Race might also discover their presence.At that point, the assassination would not be successful.It was even possible that they would be hunted down by these guys.Mr. 5 knew his own limits well; dealing with the Straw Hat Pirates was already difficult and required schemes, let alone dealing with two guys with 100 million Berries bounties...How could he possibly fight them?"Don't worry, we are just secretly putting explosives into their drinks; there won't be any problems." Ms. Valentine pushed aside the leaves in front of her and looked into the distance. "They are watching the battle in front; they won't pay attention to the back~"All three of them were like that.Three...Hm?Ms. Valentine was suddenly stunned. "Where did that Scientist, Ben, go?"Wasn't he just standing next to that long-nosed guy a moment ago?How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?A bad premonition arose in Mr. 5's heart. Could it be that the man had discovered them after all?"Yo, are you looking for me?" Standing on the tree, Ben looked down at the two with a playful expression. "Are you feeling pleasantly surprised?"Surprised?This is a damn scare, alright!"When did you appear above our heads?" Mr. 5's face was very ugly. "Why didn't I notice it at all?""If you could notice it, wouldn't that make me look very low?" Ben touched his chin and said. "It seems the Boots of Swiftness were made quite successfully."Completely eliminating footsteps, increasing movement speed and jumping ability.Hm, he was indeed a Genius.Chapter 51: Friendship!"Kill him!" Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Mr. 5 decided to get rid of this person first. "Before the Giant Race comes over, kill them all."This way, even if they tampered with the drinks, the Giant Race wouldn't know.He didn't believe that the Giant Race wouldn't drink if these people were dead.He had observed earlier that the two fierce guys from the Straw Hat Pirates were not here."Alright!" Upon hearing this, Ms. Valentine leaped into the air and laughed very wildly. "I am now 1 kilogram, and I can float lightly in the air!""Here I come, 10,000 kilograms!"Ben watched Ms. Valentine falling from high above and didn't rush to dodge, but instead commented lightly, "Hm, I didn't expect you to have such a hobby.""And it even has lemons printed on it?"Ms. Valentine was stunned for a moment, then realized what this guy was talking about, and her face immediately turned red. "Where are you looking, you bastard?!""Go to hell!"Unfortunately, with her Dao Heart in chaos, how could she possibly hit Ben?Ben just moved his feet slightly and dodged Ms. Valentine's attack."Since you're afraid of others looking, don't fly so high~" Ben picked his ear and said helplessly. "But since you like to give it away for free, don't blame me."Well~ A man's gaze will always be attracted by specific things. This is something that cannot be helped, isn't it?Then, ignoring Ms. Valentine who was kneeling on the ground with a flushed face, Ben looked at Mr. 5 and said, "Come on, it's your turn."This woman was already useless; there was no need to pay attention to her.Looking at Ben's contemptuous appearance, Mr. 5 shouted coldly, "Don't think you can defeat me.""Booger Bomb!"Ben:?!!! Looking at the booger getting closer and closer, Ben instantly bristled.Does it have to be this disgusting?To have such a powerful ability as the Bomb Fruit and use it in such a disgusting way, it's truly a waste of a gift!There was no time to think; he quickly used force in his legs and dodged this booger bomb.The next moment~ "Boom!" A huge explosion sounded, directly blowing down a towering tree!This also attracted the attention of the two Giants lying on the ground in the distance. "What's going on?"Brogy, who had just finished the battle, glanced at the direction of the explosion. It looked like it wasn't far from his residence. Could an enemy have appeared?Thinking of this, Brogy immediately crawled up. "Dorry, there might be an enemy dealing with my friend. I have to go back and check.""Let's go together." Dorry also stood up and said. "Didn't you say you had wine to share with me?"He hadn't had a drink in decades, and he had almost forgotten what it tasted like.Now that there was this good opportunity, he couldn't let it go.Brogy nodded and took Dorry back to his residence."What's going on, where is your other partner?" Brogy looked at the two people on the ground, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes."He said some little mice had sneaked in." Namipointed in the direction of the explosion just now and said. "He might be there right now.""Is that so." Brogy glanced in the direction Namipointed and let out a rough breath. "How embarrassing, to actually have a guest take action.""Dorry, let's go.""Oh!"The two huge Giants walked into the distance with heavy steps and soon arrived at the place where Ben and Mr. 5 were fighting.The sound of explosions came out from here from time to time, but it hadn't hit Ben even once!This made Mr. 5 extremely angry. "Damn it, if you have the ability, stop dodging everywhere!"He was confident that he could blow him up, but this person's speed was simply too fast; he couldn't hit him at all!"Tsk, I just like the way you want to kill me but are helpless." Adjusting his glasses, Ben showed a provocative expression. "Your bombs are so trash, do your family members know?""I'm so pissed off!" Mr. 5 gritted his teeth and took out a revolver. "It seems I have to use my trump card.""What kind of trump card are you going to use?""Of course, I'm going to blow him up with Air Bullets!" Mr. 5 said viciously, but then he noticed something wrong.Whose voice was that just now? It wasn't Ben's or Ms. Valentine's voice.Also, why did the sky get dark?Thinking of this, Mr. 5 looked up at his head, and cold sweat immediately flowed down. "You... how are you here?""Aren't you two dueling?!"Just a moment ago, these two guys were still having a life-or-death struggle in the distance; how did they walk over to him in the blink of an eye?"Hmph, you dare to lay a hand on my guest, do you want to die?" Brogy looked at Mr. 5 fiercely. "Since you want to die so much, I'll send you on your way."After speaking, he slowly stood up, raised the weapon in his hand, and roared, "Go to hell!""Boom!" The huge axe slashed fiercely toward the ground, directly shattering the earth!Ben also jumped to the distance at the right time, avoiding the shockwave of Brogy's attack.Looking at the huge pit that had been smashed out, Ben smacked his lips. "I wonder if they were killed."He looked carefully and found no trace of the two people, which made Ben a bit confused. "They let them escape like this?"Forget it, anyway, all he had to do this time was to stop them from tampering with the drinks."Ka-ba-ba-ba." Brogy laughed up at the sky. "This is the price for provoking our guests!""By the way, Ben." Brogy lowered his head and looked at Ben. "Do you still have that giant wine cup?""Give one to Dorry."
Of course there is." Ben nodded. "I happened to make two when I came out.""Let's go, let's head back first."After returning to the residence, Ben first explained what those two people were planning to do, then handed the giant wine cup to Dorry.Upon learning the truth, Brogy and Dorry roared in anger, "How dare they interfere with our duel?!"Regardless of which one of them drank the explosive wine, it would be an insult to the other.Because that kind of victory was not what they wanted!After expressing his thanks, Dorry left with the items.In his own words, "I also have guests waiting for me at my place, so I cannot stay here too long."However, the friendship between the two groups had become even more solid!"He must be talking about Luffy." Usopp said with a smile as he watched Dorry's giant back fade away.As for guests, it could only be the people on their ship.Oh, and now there were enemies too.Chapter 52: Eternal Glory!"Damn it, we actually failed." Mr. 5 said through gritted teeth. "It will be even harder to succeed next time."Mr. 5 even felt that as long as that man named Benwas still there, they would have no chance of succeeding."Then what should we do?" Ms. Valentine said with a panicked expression. "If we can't complete the mission..."The Boss would definitely kill them!He would absolutely show no mercy to employees who failed their missions.After all, among the missions they had carried out, there were quite a few that involved taking out their own colleagues.Mr. 5 fell silent upon hearing this. To be honest, he didn't know what to do either.Should they attack head-on?But at the thought of that terrifying scene earlier, Mr. 5 felt his legs go weak.If it weren't for good luck, the two of them would already be dead."Hmph, what useless trash." Mr. 3's voice appeared by their ears, causing their expressions to change.Was this Mr. 3 planning to attack them?After all, their mission had failed again...Seeing the slight look of vigilance in their eyes, Mr. 3 said disdainfully, "Rest assured, I have no intention of attacking you.""You aren't worth the effort either."Doing so would only be a waste of energy, and in a sense, Mr. 5's Devil Fruit ability actually countered his own.Therefore, unless it was a last resort, Mr. 3 would not make a move against them.Mr. 3's words made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief, but they were also somewhat puzzled.Why would Mr. 3 let them go?"I can choose not to attack you, but you must assist me in taking them down."Mr. 3 adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "As long as we take them down, I can choose not to report your mission status to the Boss."There might be orders from above, but they could have countermeasures below.There was no need to be so rigid.The two looked at each other upon hearing this and nodded.This was already the best possible outcome."How do you want us to assist you?""Don't be in such a hurry~" Mr. 3 narrowed his eyes and said, "When the time comes, I will naturally tell you."Mr. 3 did not expect these two pieces of trash to be of much use; as long as they could distract the people from the Straw Hat Pirates when the time came, that would be enough.As for whether they lived or died?Mr. 3 didn't care.Anyway, countless colleagues died every year, so there was no need to care."Alright, we understand."Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine nodded resignedly.As long as they didn't die, anything was negotiable.However, Ms. Valentine's expression turned a bit strange; she unconsciously recalled the words of that bastard man from earlier.Damn it, she had to kill him.She would use his life to wash away this humiliation!...Watching Brogy, who was squatting on the ground maintaining his weapon, Usopp said to Brogy with a look of admiration, "Hey, old man.""You guys are just so cool. One day, I will definitely become a brave warrior of the sea!"There was no helping it; these two old men were just too cool.At least, that was how it appeared in Usopp's eyes."Brave warrior of the sea?" Brogy looked at Usoppin confusion upon hearing this."What kind of thing is that?"How come he had never heard of this term before?"It means you guys!""I also want to become like you one day!"Usopp looked at Brogy with longing, anticipating the future when he would become like them.Ben had just said that he could become a brave man, so it must be possible, right?A question mark appeared over Brogy's head upon hearing this, and then he realized what he meant."Ah, you mean becoming a Giant?""That is probably not very likely."Him being of the Giant Race was something decided from birth; he had never heard of anyone growing from the Human Race into the Giant Race.Unless they ate a special Devil Fruit.But then they wouldn't be a pure Giant.Hearing Brogy's words, Usopp almost choked; what on earth was he talking about?"That's not what I meant!""I mean I want to live like a warrior of Elbaf, carrying noble glory with me."That was the kind of life a man should lead!Brogy was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then burst into hearty laughter.He hadn't expected that the lifestyle his tribe was accustomed to could actually earn the admiration of others."Is that so." Brogy looked at Usopp and smiled."For us, because our lifespans are longer than yours, we think more about how to die.""In the end, wealth and life are things that will disappear one day.""However, if you die with the glory of an Elbafwarrior, that is a glorious death!""This glory will then be passed down in Elbaf; this is an eternal Treasure Trove!"After saying this, Brogy laughed heartily again.Ben nodded thoughtfully.He felt that these words made a lot of sense.A person's death is not a physiological death, but being completely forgotten by others!This is just like why people in history all want to leave a name for eternity; because people can remember them forever!Money and life will always disappear, but glory will not.Similarly, the achievements they made will not disappear either; as long as human civilization continues to exist, they will always live in people's hearts!Thinking of this, Ben couldn't help but think of those legendary immortals.Was the reason they always wanted others to worship them simply because they were afraid of being forgotten?Listening to Brogy's words, Usopp's eyes were filled with little stars."So glory is a Treasure Trove...""That's so great!""I've decided, from now on, please let me call you Master!"Being able to take such an existence as his master, Usopp felt incredibly honored!"Huh?" Brogy was a bit dumbfounded.Master or whatever... How did he suddenly take on an apprentice?Forget it, it didn't matter.Brogy didn't pay too much attention to this matter; anyway, this group of little guys would leave here after staying for a year.Thinking of this, Brogy laughed again."Suit yourself, Gaba-baba."...Please give me flowers and votes~ Please give me all kinds of support~.Chapter 53: A Real Man!On the other side, Luffy was eating roasted meat and chatting with Dorry, feeling very happy.
Chapter 41"A giant whale?" Dorry laughed happily. "That's about the same size as that fellow outside this island."That goldfish that seemed capable of swallowing a massive island.Come to think of it, most of the pirate ships leaving from here have probably been eaten by it.Thinking of this, Dorry pondered whether he should help them out when the time came."The fellow outside?" Vivi asked, somewhat puzzled. What was this fellow outside?Could there be another sea beast as big as Laboonblocking the way ahead?At this thought, Vivi's face turned pale.This was certainly not good news."You'll find out when the time comes." Dorry waved his hand dismissively, then lifted his mug and took a large gulp.He would just deal with that fellow for them when the time came.After all, they were quite to his liking.Suddenly, he glanced into the distance. Why did he feel like he was being watched?In the distance, hiding behind a tree, the lemon girl was panting tremblingly; she had almost been discovered again.Seriously, why did they have to send her to keep an eye on this man?Her strength was the weakest, right? One wrong move and she'd be killed!Thinking of this, Ms. Valentine shed tears of pain; she was so scared."Do you have any enemies?" Dorry glanced at Luffyand asked curiously."Enemies?" Luffy tilted his head, thought for a moment, and shook his head. "No."It seemed he didn't have any enemies; the bad guys he'd encountered along the way had all been sent flying by him."I see." Dorry nodded. "Then it's nothing.""Mr. Dorry, did you discover something?" Vivi asked curiously."No, it must have been an illusion." Dorry shook his head.Since they had no enemies, there shouldn't be anyone there; it was most likely his imagination.Vivi frowned slightly. Although they didn't have any enemies, but...They were currently being hunted by Baroque Works.Could those people have caught up?Vivi looked around but didn't see anyone, and Mr. Dorry had also said he didn't notice anything.She was probably just being too sensitive.Just as Vivi was about to ask something else, the volcano in the distance erupted again.And this was the signal for the two giants to fight!..."Gah-bah-bah-bah, today is really lively~" Brogy, sitting on the ground, laughed as he watched the distant volcano erupt, then picked up his weapon, stood up, and said, "Alright, I'm off to fight.""You all wait here for me."After all, regardless of which of them won, they would treat these guests well.Therefore, Brogy didn't care whether he would die or not.Fight to the last moment, until death!"But you're still covered in injuries right now..." Usopp looked at Brogy, his face full of worry. "Won't you rest for a bit first?""Gah-bah-bah." Brogy pounded his chest and said, "What of it? The conditions are the same for both sides!""In a ruthless and cruel fight to the death, any excuse is shameful!"If he were to shrink back because of such a trivial matter, Brogy would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.No situation could stop his heart from fighting!Ben looked at Brogy with admiration; he had to say, people like them were truly real men."Is that so!" Hearing this, Usopp looked at Brogywith stars in his eyes. "Then good luck, Master Brogy!"Brogy laughed as he listened to Usopp's words; this feeling wasn't half bad."Alright, Usopp." Brogy shouldered his giant axe and said, "This time, I'll definitely take him down!""Alright, good luck, greatest warrior of Elbaf!"Watching Brogy's departing back, Nami said with some lack of understanding, "It's amazing they can keep fighting such a boring battle for so long."Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately bristled. "Don't you dare call this a boring fight, you idiot!""Didn't I tell you that Brogy is the brave warrior of the sea I admire!""Are you even listening to me, you jerk!" Watching Nami stand up and walk toward Ben, Usopp was so angry.He felt like going up and having a scrap with her.But when he thought of Nami's terrifying combat power, Usopp hesitated.Would he get beaten up if he went up there?"Well, Ben, Luffy and the others should be with the other giant." Nami walked up to Ben and said, "Why don't we go find Luffy and the others first?""After that, we'll return to the pirate ship. Didn't you say you wanted to solve the one-year storage issue? Let's head back to the ship first.""Huh?" Ben, who was lost in thought, had his train of thought interrupted and looked at Nami with a puzzled expression. "What did you say?"Nami's mouth twitched, then she repeated what she had just said."There's no rush for that kind of thing." Ben looked at the battle in the distance and said, "It wouldn't be a problem to go and regroup with Luffy and the others."It's a good opportunity to go to the other side and check the situation; hopefully, those few troublemakers haven't run over there to stir up trouble again.If Luffy were to get pinned down again, he might actually get killed.Thinking of this, Ben immediately walked toward the distance. "Let's go, let's hurry over and check the situation.""Hey, hey, hey, you don't have to be in such a rush." Usopp looked at their backs and said, "At least wait until their fight is over!""Hey~""If you don't follow us, we're going to leave you behind~""Ahem, coming, coming." Upon hearing this, Usoppimmediately chased after them. If Ben weren't there, he wouldn't be able to defeat the large animals in the forest at all.He might get caught and eaten.He didn't want to die here.So it was better to stick with Ben."By the way, those two people from before weren't finished off. Could they be hiding in the shadows preparing to ambush us?" Usopp, having walked up to Ben, looked around nervously, ready to deal with any sudden enemies at any moment."Don't worry, not for now." Ben waved his hand. "As long as they are smart enough, they won't come here seeking death."If it weren't for Uncle Brogy stepping in last time, he would have taken those two out.Ben was not the type of person who would lose his intent to kill just because the enemy was a woman.Anyone who dared to stand in his way, no matter who they were, would be taken out without exception!Chapter 54: The Treacherous Scheme SucceedsWatching the two behemoths fighting in the distance, Luffy said with a smile, "That's really great.""What's great about it?" Vivi was somewhat speechless. "They're fighting for their lives."And for a reason like that, too. Are all men so boring?Luffy ignored Vivi; anyway, she wouldn't understand it regardless."Hey~""Luffy!" Usopp came running from not far away, waving his hand and shouting, "You're here!""Usopp, Ben, Nami!" Luffy waved his hand in surprise and said, "You're here!""Let me tell you, I met a very impressive giant uncle!"He said, pointing into the distance, "It's that one."It's so cool!Looking at Luffy, who was acting like he was showing off a treasure, Ben smiled. "You're talking about Uncle Dorry, right? We just came from the other giant—Uncle Brogy.""They are both good people, hahaha."Fortunately, they had stopped Mr. 3's conspiracy; otherwise, Uncle Dorry would probably have been slashed.Well~Though it wouldn't have been fatal.He then sat to the side, silently appreciating the battle between the two great warriors in the distance; such opportunities were rare."Oh, right." Nami suddenly remembered something and said, "The enemies from Baroque Works have caught up.""We just had a fight with them, but unfortunately, we didn't manage to take them out.""So fast?!" Vivi was a bit dumbfounded. How much time had even passed?Could it be that woman who tipped them off again?Thinking of Nico Robin's appearance, Vivi gritted her teeth. What on earth did she want to do?Helping them while simultaneously betraying them?Was this fun?"We'll just send them flying when they come out." Luffy said nonchalantly.So what if they caught up? What could they possibly do?
Chapter 42Just blow them away.Listening to Luffy, Vivi felt a bit more secure.That's true. Escaping is meaningless; it's better to face it head-on...."Are we just going to wait here?" Miss Goldenweek looked up at the battle between the two behemoths in the distance, taking a sip of black tea as she spoke."Excellent hunters are always patient." Mr. 3 looked into the distance with a sinister grin. "Their stamina is still high right now. We'll make our move once they've exhausted themselves."When the time comes, we'll create an opening for one of them, which will create the illusion of a victory for the other.That way, we can easily take them both down!"Fine." Miss Goldenweek nodded. Whatever, she had food and drink, so she wasn't in a rush.Mr. 3 adjusted his glasses and looked into the distance. "I hope Mr. 5 and the others don't disappoint me."He was giving them one more chance to defeat Straw Hat. If they failed again, he wouldn't be so polite.Baroque Works had no need for useless trash.Not far away, the battle between Dorry and Brogywas still ongoing."This time, I will definitely defeat you, Dorry!" Brogyroared, brandishing his giant axe and swinging it down fiercely.Dorry grinned, raised his shield to block Brogy's strike, and said, "That's what I was going to say, Brogy!""The one favored by the great gods of Elbaf is me!" X2!"Boom!"The battle continued for an hour before both of them appeared to be exhausted."Hoo..." Brogy panted heavily. "This... this time I will definitely defeat you."His apprentice was watching from behind; he absolutely could not fail!"That's what I was going to say!" Dorry roared, refusing to be outdone, and immediately stepped back to brace himself for the final strike."Now!" Mr. 3, who was not far away, quickly activated his Devil Fruit ability. In the blink of an eye, a large amount of white candle liquid rushed under Dorry's feet, causing him to slip and lose his footing!Brogy, unaware of the situation, seized the opportunity. Although he didn't understand why Dorry had made such a simple mistake, he knew he couldn't let the chance slip by!He raised his giant axe and swung it down fiercely!Dorry, who had been near exhaustion for a long time, was unable to defend himself and was struck directly in the chest."Puchi!"Blood sprayed out, clearly visible even from a distance!Watching Dorry fall, Brogy dropped his giant axe, his expression extremely complex."The 73,467th battle.""73,466 draws.""One victory!" At this point, Brogy was already streaming with tears and dropped his weapon.He had waited for this day for far too long.But... watching his friend collapse completely, Brogyfelt an incomparable heartache. Today, he had completely lost a dear friend!Watching the tear-streaked Brogy, Mr. 3 let out a laugh of triumphant malice. "Hahahaha, are you crying tears of joy because of your victory?""Simple-minded single-celled organisms are just great~""Alright, anyway, I should say this first: good work~"Hearing Mr. 3's mocking voice, Brogy turned his head to look at him. "Tears of joy?""What do you know, you guy!"He was grieving the loss of a dear friend!"You wouldn't happen to be an accomplice of those two, would you?" Brogy recalled Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine; he wasn't sure if he had killed them."Well~" "Although it's a bit embarrassing, they are indeed with me." Mr. 3 first made a look of disgust, but he still admitted it."Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Brogy bared a ferocious grin and crouched down, preparing to pick up his weapon and hack this guy to death.But when he lowered his head, he froze. "What is this?"When had his feet been covered by this white stuff?Damn it, was he too exhausted, causing his senses to malfunction?He tried to lift his leg, but Brogy found that he couldn't break free at all. "Damn it, if it wasn't for the fact that I've been fighting for so long..."If he were in his prime, how could he possibly be unable to break free from this damn thing!But now, he had no way to break free.Seeing this, Mr. 3 laughed even more happily.Mission accomplished~.Chapter 55: Gentle Fire Incendiary Bomb!Looking at the situation in the distance, Beninstinctively felt that something was wrong."It seems like there's a problem." Ben looked at Brogy in the distance and said, "I'll go check it out. You three stay with Luffy."Maybe that Mr. 3 made a move. Could he actually dare to act in this situation?But it didn't matter. Among his inventions was something that could create fire, a natural counter to Mr. 3.Watching Ben's disappearing back, Nami reached out and said, "Take me with you too...""I guess there's some danger over there." Usoppfrowned. Was Master Brogy okay?Actually, he wanted to follow as well, but Ben's speed was simply too fast.The moment he finished speaking, the person was already gone.Come to think of it, when did he get so fast?On the other side, Mr. 3 was proudly explaining his plan."Originally, I planned to put explosives in one of your drinks.""Unfortunately, it was stopped by that kid named Ben.""But it doesn't matter; the situation is the same now.""What do you mean?" Brogy glared fiercely at Mr. 3. "Put explosives?""Are you really a single-celled organism?" Mr. 3 revealed a sinister smile. "After one of you drank the drink with explosives, your internal organs would have been injured.""Then you would have been hacked to death by the other one~""Of course, the one who survived would have thanked me, hahahahaha."After all, I helped you achieve victory~"Damn you!!!" Brogy roared and struggled. "You dare to desecrate the honor of the great warriors of Elbaf!"Was this the kind of victory they needed? They didn't need it at all!"Damn it, why can't I break free?""Don't waste your energy." Mr. 3 glanced at Brogy, who was completely immobilized on the ground, and said disdainfully, "You think you can break free from my restraints in your current state?"His candle, once solidified, was harder than steel!Knowing that he couldn't break free, Brogy cried out in pain. "Damn it, damn it!"Why couldn't he have realized it sooner? Why! If he had, his dear friend wouldn't have been killed by him. It's too infuriating!"You really are sinister, Mr. 3." Ben leaned against a nearby tree trunk, looking at Mr. 3 with a face full of disgust.And this motherf***er is worthy of being a Yonko commander? How did Buggy even pick him?"Hehe, this is called strategy~" Mr. 3 adjusted his glasses and looked at Ben. "As fellow talents who fight with wisdom, you should be able to understand what I mean."Ben didn't speak, but he had to admit that Mr. 3's method was indeed optimal. This allowed for taking down these two of the Giant Race without sustaining any injuries.But~ He wasn't on their side!"Old man, do you still want to get up and fight?" Ben looked at Brogy and said. "Avenge your dear friend with your own hands.""Of course!" Brogy stared at Mr. 3 with bloodshot eyes. "Ben, help me."He wanted to hack this bastard to death.That terrifying gaze made Mr. 3's heart tremble. This was a terrifying existence who had reached a bounty of 100 million a hundred years ago; if he were released..."Don't you dare!" Mr. 3 immediately urged his Devil Fruit ability to launch an attack at Ben!But unfortunately, how could such a slow attack possibly hit him?In the blink of an eye, he arrived above Brogy. Benslowly took a small ball out of his pocket. "Uncle Brogy, it might hurt a little in a moment, just bear with it."This was his invention—the Gentle Fire Incendiary Bomb.The temperature was within a bearable range; it wouldn't roast anyone to death, but it could soften the candle!"Bring it on!" Brogy gritted his teeth and said. "A mere bit of pain—how could it possibly compare to the pain of losing a dear friend!"
Following the throwing of the incendiary bomb, flames erupted on Brogy's body.Soon, the wax fixed on him began to change; it was no longer as hard as it had been just moments ago!Brogy let out a roar and broke free in an instant.He immediately picked up his giant axe from the ground and, looking at Mr. 3 on the ground with a terrifying expression, said, "You were pretty arrogant just now, weren't you?""Th-that... well..." Mr. 3 put on an awkward smile and said, "If I said I was just joking earlier, would you believe me?"Brogy grinned upon hearing this. "Guess whether I believe you or not.""Run!" Mr. 3 yelled to Miss Goldenweek, who was to the side. "Don't look back!""You can't escape! Die!" Brogy roared as he brought down his giant axe; he was going to kill this bastard to avenge his best friend!"I won't die here so easily!" Mr. 3 said with a ferocious expression, activating his Devil FruitAbility. "Candle Wall!""Boom!"The heavy axe slammed into the wax, slicing through it instantly!"What?!" Mr. 3's pupils constricted, his Face filled with disbelief.His wax had actually been sliced open?"Surprised?" Brogy looked at Mr. 3 with a fierce gaze. "A frog in a well like you probably wouldn't know about Haki."Forget it, why bother explaining so much to him.After glancing at the little girl running in the distance, Brogy withdrew his gaze.Just killing this guy is enough; there's no need to worry about the little one."One last strike to send you on your way." Brogyslowly raised his giant axe, gathering the strength in his body. "Die!"He swung his axe down fiercely at Mr. 3!Looking at the axe drawing closer and closer, Mr. 3 had only one thought in his mind: he couldn't dodge it, and if he couldn't block it, he would die!Thinking of this, Mr. 3 created a protective shield in front of him with the fastest speed of his life.The next moment~"Boom!"The heavy attack slammed into the protective shield, shattering it instantly!But the force wasn't enough to kill Mr. 3; it only sent him flying into the horizon.Watching Mr. 3, who was now just a small black dot, Ben touched his chin and said, "Well~""It would be fitting if he shouted 'I'll be back!' right about now.""Ah!""My best friend!" Having avenged his friend, Brogysat beside Dorry and wept, his tears flowing like a fountain.It was as miserable as it could get.Chapter 56: Unparalleled Power - Conquest!Just as Ben was about to tell Brogy about Dorry's physical condition, Dorry sat up by himself. "Hmm?""I'm still alive?"Hearing Dorry's words, Brogy stopped crying and looked at him in shock, his eyes bulging out.How was he still alive?"It seems it's because of your weapons." Benglanced at Brogy's axe and said, "After all, it's been a hundred years; your weapons have long since deteriorated."The two nodded; no matter how good a weapon is, a hundred years without maintenance is enough for it to decay.Just then, the sound of several explosions came from the distance, catching Ben's attention. "It's Luffy's side.""I'll go take a look; there's trouble on my crew's side."Without waiting for the two giants to respond, he vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye."Let's go, we can't let our friend fall into danger, Dorry.""Alright, Brogy!"...By the time Ben arrived, Luffy had been smashed into the ground by Ms. Valentine, his head buried in the dirt.Ben:???"Luffy, what the hell are you playing at!" Ben kicked Luffy in frustration, knocking his head out of the ground. "How did you get beaten like this by these two pieces of trash?""Ah~""Saved." Pulling his head out, Luffy scratched his head. "I didn't know her ability was so weird."He had been chatting with Nami and the others at the time; who knew these two would suddenly attack.This caused a flash of doubt in Ben's eyes. Why was Luffy's combat intuition so poor at this moment?Could it be because he didn't consider them opponents, so he didn't pay attention?The key was, hadn't they already seen that woman last time? Or was it that Luffy hadn't noticed her?"Where are Nami and Usopp?""I'm here." A disheveled Nami appeared not far away. "I used Mirage Tempo to hide myself.""As for Usopp..."She hadn't been able to look after Usopp just now."Tch." Ben spat and turned to head into the forest to look for Usopp.Just then, Brogy let out a roar in the distance. "You two again?""Die!"Immediately following was an earth-shaking attack, as if trying to shatter the very ground.The two giants continued attacking for over ten seconds before stopping.They were really afraid they wouldn't die."Hmm?""How did I end up here?" Carrying his prey, Zorowalked to where Ben and the others were, his Facefull of confusion."Zoro?" Ben looked at Zoro and hesitated before saying, "Did you get lost again?""Huh?""I didn't get lost!" Zoro insisted stubbornly. "I just heard some commotion here and came to check it out."Ben's mouth twitched. If I hadn't heard your first sentence just now, I might have believed you.Forget it, let's give this Marimo a little Face."I don't think so." Sanji, appearing from another direction, didn't hold back against Zoro. "You definitely got lost.""Looking for a fight, shitty cook?!""Like I'm scared of you, Marimo!"Watching the two start fighting over such a trivial matter again, Ben put a hand to his forehead. "Nami, I leave it to you.""Okay." Nami nodded, and then, under Vivi's astonished gaze, she used her fists to force them to calm down with two solid thumps."We've already finished the fight, and you two idiots just get here now." Nami said unhappily. "If it weren't for Ben being reliable, we might have been finished here.""Did something happen?" Hearing this, Zoro gave up resisting and looked at Ben with confusion.Did something happen while he was away?"It was the pursuers from Baroque Works." Sanji, sporting a large bump on his head, lit a cigarette and said, "I encountered the wax house they made in the forest earlier.""But it looks like they've already been dealt with.""Yeah." Ben nodded and pointed into the distance. "I reckon so."As for that Miss Goldenweek~Who cares."Let's have a banquet, a banquet!" Luffy clapped his hands and shouted.Ben's mouth twitched. Watching the two behemoths walking over from the distance, he asked Sanji with concern, "Two of the Giant Race, can you handle it...""Hmph, you're underestimating me." Sanji rolled up his sleeves and said with a serious expression. "So what if they're from the Giant Race?"He didn't believe it today; he had to make this banquet happen!"Alright, then I'll go collect some things to make a poultice for Uncle Dorry." After saying this, Benvanished from the spot.If you leave a wound unattended, it will get infected~He couldn't do anything about other illnesses, but he could handle external wounds caused by blades....All good things must come to an end; after spending a day together, everyone finally faced their departure.During this time, Ben had also fashioned a magnetic collector and placed it inside Nami's log pose.From now on, no matter which island they were on, they could finish collecting the magnetic force in half a day!Seeing this invention, the two giants almost had their eyes pop out; this was the first time they had seen such a magical thing.But once they thought about the fact that Ben was a Devil Fruit User, they felt relieved.Well~Anything on the sea that you don't understand, just attribute it to a Devil Fruit and you're good.Before leaving, Ben walked up to the two members of the Giant Race and said, "Well~""Could you two listen to me for a moment?"Watching the two lower their heads, Ben smiled and said, "Don't you both believe in the God of Elbaf?"
