Grand Line – Paradise
Little Garden
"Hmmmmm!!!!!", Vivi exclaims in shock at what just happened.
"Whatt????", Nami exclaims, stunned in shock.
"Quaaaack????" "Whaaaaat????", Karoo squeals, completely shocked.
"Woof woof woof!!!!" "The rum exploded!!!!", Chouchou exclaims in shock, processing what just happened.
"Hey Dorry, are you okay?", Luffy asks the giant, who was surrounded by smoke.
"You... it was you guys! Brogy wouldn't do this, we are proud warriors of Elbaph!", Dorry snarls angrily, with some blood dripping from his mouth and his face all scratched and scorched.
"Think properly, Dorry, it wasn't us!", Luffy says calmly, getting up from his spot.
"You are the only suspects!", Dorry snarls, grabbing his sword and patched-up shield.
"...Sigh... step back a little, everyone", Luffy says with a sigh, stretching a bit.
"Are you serious, Luffy? You can't fight him! He's too big!", Vivi screams, worried.
"Sorry, man, but I'm gonna have to calm you down a bit", Luffy comments, adjusting the hat on his head with one hand while cracking the fingers of his other hand.
=Scene Break=
Meanwhile, at Brogy's house, the same thing happens. Bleeding from his mouth and with his face all scratched and scorched, Brogy tosses aside the remains of the exploded rum barrel and then stands up, grabbing his patched-up axe and his shield, snarling with anger, "You little cowardly, despicable creatures, tricking us like this, I thought you guys were cool!"
"What happened?", Kaya asks, frowning.
"Calm down, Brogy, we don't want to fight", Sabo says, getting up and trying to calm the giant.
"Our rum exploded because of what? Sabotage?", Nojiko asks, processing what just happened.
"It wasn't us, Brogy!", Usopp shouts, trying to calm the giant, who seemed about to attack them.
"Guys, step back a little", Sabo says, warning everyone as he just saw Brogy launching an attack with his advanced Observation Haki.
=Scene Break=
Back to Luffy and his group, Dorry charges at him, delivering a powerful vertical sword strike at him.
Easily dodging to the side, Luffy, in his base form, Then charges forward at Dorry using a combination of Soru and Geppo.
Appearing in front of Dorry, who was already raising his shield coated with Armament Haki, Luffy pulls his right arm back and coats it with Haki, in punching stance, he then contracts his forearm like a spring and delivers a powerful 'Gomu Gomu no Kong Gun', hitting Dorry's patched-up shield squarely.
The impact of this blow shatters Dorry's battered shield and sends him flying backward, making him collide with the mountain behind him, raising a huge cloud of dust along with a massive boom echoing across the island.
From within the cloud of dust, Dorry hurls his sword at Luffy like a spear before charging toward him.
Luffy then jumps, dodging the throw, only to find himself facing Dorry's giant fist, coated with advanced Armament Haki, about to hit him.
Spinning on his axis, Luffy coats his right arm and left leg with advanced Armament Haki, then punches Dorry's fist downward, diverting the giant's attack to the ground, and then extends his Haki-covered leg, delivering a powerful axe kick to the giant's head. At the last second, Dorry managed to coat his head with Haki, which didn't help much, as when the kick connected with his head, a bit of blood poured from his mouth and nose before he crashed face-first into the ground.
"Think, Dorry, you have Observation Haki, right? Then use it, there are eleven members in my crew, counting me, nine people, and two animals. If there are more than eleven people on the island, that means it wasn't us who did this", Luffy yells while watching Dorry, with his face bruised and bloody, get up.
Using his Observation Haki, Dorry realizes that, besides him and Brogy, there are thirteen people plus the two animals with Luffy and his group on the island. "There are thirteen people plus these two little animals on the island!"
"That's right, there are nine people plus two animals in my crew, here there are five, with the other giant there are four more just like you said before, there are two more who must be scattered around the island, so you should be sensing four more intruders somewhere on the island", Luffy says, trying to make Dorry stop attacking them.
"There are four people gathered in an isolated spot on the island! You're right, it wasn't you guys", Dorry grumbles, sitting on a giant rock and wiping the blood from his face.
"Phew, finally you calmed down, don't worry, man, we'll beat up those cowards who sabotaged the rum, by the way, are you okay?", Luffy asks, scratching his head.
"Besides the internal damage in my belly after the explosion and the giant headache I'm having from that kick of yours, I'm fine", Dorry says, only to spit a bit of blood from his mouth right after.
And at that moment, while Dorry was catching his breath after the beating Luffy gave him, the largest volcano on the island erupts again with a thunderous boom, "Boommmmm!!!"
"More than once in a day?", Nami asks, confused, as she approaches Luffy and Dorry, accompanied by Vivi, Karoo, and Chouchou.
"Coff... coff... today must be an eventful day", Dorry says after coughing up some blood, getting up and then pulling his sword out of the ground before starting to move toward where Brogy's house was.
"You've got to be kidding me, right? You want to fight in that state? You need to rest, you stubborn giant", Vivi comments indignantly, scolding Dorry.
"It may be that I'm stubborn, little one, but fleeing from a battle you started, even if it has been over a hundred years and it doesn't even make sense anymore, means giving up being a warrior. And if I can't be a warrior anymore, I won't be able to recognize myself again. I'm sorry for doubting you all before", Dorry says, continuing to move toward Brogy's house.
"Someone sabotaged your duel, a sabotaged duel is no longer a duel", Luffy says, stepping in front of Dorry.
"Get out of my way, little one, you're just a child, you haven't even seen a fraction of what I've seen in my life, you still don't understand the wise words of Elbaph", Dorry says, not stopping his movement, even though Luffy had stepped into his path.
"It may be, but the thing is, I'm as stubborn as a rock. If necessary, I'll beat both of you up, that way you'll stay quiet for a while until you can have a real fair fight, without external interference", Luffy says with a serious expression.
=Scene Break=
Meanwhile, back a little in time, with Usopp's group, the same thing happens. Dodging to the side, Sabo avoids a powerful vertical strike from Brogy's axe, coated with advanced Armament Haki, which, upon hitting the ground, opens a huge ravine and sends a giant dust cloud into the air.
Sabo then strikes the handle of Brogy's axe at the point where it was patched up, breaking it again.
Seeing his axe break again, Brogy throws aside the remainder of the handle, after coughing up some blood, and then attempts to attack Sabo with the edge of his shield.
Reacting quickly, Sabo jumps over the attack and lands on top of Brogy's shield. He then runs across the surface of the shield using his own version of Soru and, with a jump, delivers a double-footed dropkick coated with advanced Armament Haki, hitting the giant's nose squarely.
And despite managing to minimally protect his nose with Armament Haki, the impact of the dropkick causes Brogy's nose to gush a good amount of blood, followed by a nauseating crack echoing through the surroundings.
The blow sends Brogy's head flying backward, with his body following the motion shortly after.
Upon colliding with the mountain right behind him, not even a second passes before Brogy, like a blur of speed, shoots out of the cloud of dust that had been raised when he crashed into the mountain, resuming his attack on Sabo, only to halt his advance midway after hearing the sound of the island's largest volcano erupting.
