Chapter 31 - Episode 68
After skipping episode 68's opening, they were greeted with the Going Merry out at sea until it suddenly stopped. Nami commented that the wind had been rushing to Little Garden. Vivi worried that they're running out of time, but Nami attempted to comfort her.
"I mean, trying to save a kingdom is a big deal." Kirishima slightly frowned.
"But it can't be help. It' not like she doesn't want to, and if someone had a teleportation quirk, Vivi would take it." Mina shrugged.
Luffy and Karoo want to fish as Sanji asked about the bait. Luffy said he ate it, causally eating a bug.
"Ew!" Toru cried out as most of the audience looks disgusted.
"It was still moving." Hizashi turned a frightening shade of green, covering his mouth.
"I mean, it's a good source of protein." Aizawa enjoyed the way his friend cringed behind his hand.
Usopp was disgusted as Sanji complained about not being able to fish anymore. Luffy suggested they use a coconut(?), but when Sanji said no, the rubber man offered Karoo instead. Sanji was fine with the idea, but Karoo definitely wasn't. The two chased after the giant bird until they accidentally woke Zoro up.
Nami loudly complained about them not being more worried, much to Luffy's confusion and Sanji's admiration.
Vivi notes that Luffy, while having a 30 million Beri bounty, doesn't seem to be that terrible of a person.
"Despite some shortcomings, Luffy is honestly a great person." Iida nodded.
Nami explained that he've beaten many big names, like Arlong, Krieg, and Kuro, but Zoro named another: Axe-Hand Morgan.
"Wait, is this going to be based on Coby's cover story." Izuku murmured.
Vivi have heard of Morgan before, surprised by that. This caused Luffy to wonder what 'that guy with him' is up to now. Is he still in that navy base?
Nami asked who 'he' is, and Luffy explained his name is Coby and he's his friend.
As some of the students smiled fondly at the rubber man's declaration, Katsuki sighed, "Goddamn it. We could had been watching giants."
On the seaside covered by cherry blossoms, the title card came up; "Try Hard, Coby! Coby-Meppo's Struggles in the Navy."
"It's Coby's episode!" Ochako smiled widely.
"And that Helmet Head's, apparently." Jiro slightly frowned.
As cherry blossoms rained from above, a soldier had told Sub-Lieutenant Coby that the preparations for departure are complete.
"He's a Sub-Lieutenant." Mina cheerfully said.
"Wait, is that a high title?" Denki asked, earning a few shrugs.
"I believe it is." Tsuyu tried to remember her time with Selkie.
"Interesting. They're having a different approach to this." Izuku murmured.
Coby ordered his men to move out.
Looking out at sea, Coby thought about Luffy and the hardships that lead him here... until the ships were stopped by a giant Axe-Hand Morgan.
"...Oh, it was all a dream." Mina blushed, embarrassed that she didn't realize sooner.
Morgan melted, and would had attacked Coby if a giant Luffy haven't appeared and grabbed his axe. He causally greeted Coby, and then thrown Morgan into the sky, where it started to rain sparkles. Coby thought it looked so pretty, falling right into the real world... and Helmeppo.
Coby realized he was dreaming as Helmeppo yelled at him for screwing around. Because of that, random stuff were thrown at them, including a fish bowl.
In the day, as he sweep the floors, Coby'd thoughts revealed that he's now working at the navy base, and that Helmeppo was given chore duty as well.
"Well, he serves it." Ochako pouted, remembering the awful things he've done.
"I don't think he should be in the navy in the first place." Jiro said.
"Seeing how most of the marines are assholes here, it's kind of fitting." Kirishima shrugged.
"Maybe he'll learn some humility." Iida sighed.
One of the soldiers bonked Helmeppo on the head for slacking, and ordered them to wash the windows and clean the ness hall, which Coby happily agreed to, but Helmeppo was more worried about Coby their meal. Since they're obviously not gonna finish before lunch, they can eat after they've finished everything, though Helmeppo was practically starving to death here.
Iida nodded. "While I understand the importance of cleanliness, it's important that they have the nutrient to be able to maintain it."
The soldier remind them that they're both unqualified to join the navy, yet they were given special permission to join as chore boys. While Helmeppo was disgruntled about the whole thing, Coby happily asked for anything he could do, absolutely honored to do more. While the soldiers left, Helmeppo yelled at him for trying to do more work, but Coby reminded him that they're chore boys. As Coby swept away, the blond man shouted that if he wanted to work that badly, then he can do it himself.
"Well, you don't see Coby complaining about it." Ochako continued to pout.
"Yeah, he's just going plus ultra." Kirishima grinned.
"Plus ultra!" Some of his friends cheered.
Outside, as the soldiers do their training, Coby cleans the many, many windows as Helmeppo lays on the roof. He complained about being a core boy, wishing he could go back to the days where he could use his father's name to get anything he wants.
As the students frowned and glared at the blond man for the little fantasy, Aizawa sighed, "Hopefully, you'll be more humble after this."
He will. Izuku thought, now realizing that he've spoiled himself on this mini arc.
Helmeppo realized that this is all that Straw Hat's fault since he've stripped his dad of his position.
"He murdered a person for not listening to him!" Sero yelled at him.
"And right in front of you." Todoroki added.
As Coby climbed up, Helmeppo continued to put the blame on Luffy. Coby attempted to comfort him, but the blond refused his friendship, even if they're both chore boys. He doesn't want to be one, and he still blames it on Luffy. Coby told him to not blame Luffy for everything, it won't solve anything.
The teachers nodded in agreement.
"I'm proud of you of being so mature, Young Coby." Toshinori complimented him.
Coby asked him if that's a sign of weakness. He could see that for a long time, Helmeppo lived his life using his father's power, but from now on, Coby hoped that they can face forward and search for their dreams on their own.
Helmeppo could only stare as Coby declared his dream to be a navy officer who cracks down on bad guys.
Some of the students smiled brightly at this.
For a moment, Helmeppo seems to be dumbfounded, maybe even dazed at Coby's declaration, but he griped onto the front of Coby's shirt, saying a wimp like him can never become a navy officer.
Still, Coby smiled. Seeing how Luffy lives his life, he made up his mind, and decided to be like him, where he would put his life on the line to strive for his ambition.
Izuku can't help but to smile at this, seeing Coby strive forward no matter what, even with a blond trying to deter him from his dream.
Oh god, Kacchan will kill me if he heard me compare him to Helmeppo in any way. Izuku suddenly thought.
Coby wants the both of them to work hard together, but Helmeppo punched him instead. He doesn't want to be lectured, especially from someone acting so high and mighty.
"Hey, that was uncalled for!" Ochako shouted at him, which the other students agreed with. Katsuki looked away for a moment.
Helmeppo was angry that Coby could learn anything from Luffy, and Coby fought him for talking bad about him.
The two fighting got the attention of the Marine soldiers. They were going to do something until the chore boys fell off the roof and right into the pile of boxes next to the cannon, which caused the cannon to turn and shoot at the soldiers and destroy the building behind them.
The audience stared in dumbfound silence until Denki asked, "Is there a rank lower than chore boy?"
"I'm pretty sure they would be fired for that instead." Momo said.
"If not jailed." Jiro added.
One transition later, the two are chatting with that pigtailed girl and her mom. Hearing that explosion earlier, the mom asked if they were kicked out of the navy. Surprisingly enough, the two were able to avoid getting kicked out as long as they agreed to work for free for 50 years.
"50 years?!" Toru shouted in surprise.
"I doubt they would be chore boys for that long." Iida said.
"I hope that doesn't transfer when they go into higher positions." Ochako hoped, thinking about the money issues they could have in the future.
Helmeppo wished they've gotten kicked out though, but to cheer them up, the girl and her mom showed them that Luffy has been on the newspaper. Coby got excited, seeing that Luffy's taking a big step towards his dream.
Izuku smiled at how supportive Coby is with Luffy.
After the eyecatches, Coby and Helmeppo were on a marine ship as they were being briefed on their latest mission. A man on ball and chain came in, and much to Helmeppo's horror.
They were told that Morgan is to be sent to Navy Headquarters to face a court martial for the crimes of military exploitation and the tormenting of civilians.
"And murder. I'm pretty sure he murdered a dude." Sero said.
Today's mission is his transfer and delivery to Vice Admiral Garp.
Coby and Helmeppo were scared shitless, remembering what he've done, and later, below the decks, the two were solemnly cleaning up the supplies. Helmeppo acknowledged that Morgan should get what he deserves, but to be honest, he still respected him. In fact, his dad was his idol, but he knows that he did take things too far.
Before Katsuki could spout out about 'taking things too far,' Todoroki mentioned, "I guess he've never really had anyone else to look up to there."
They went silent, pretty familiar with what One Piece usually have done to moms.
Helmeppo started to cry, trying to wipe away his tears. He asked Coby if they're going to execute him.
There was a sharp intake of breath from the audience. A sense of pity came to them, feeling bad for the man.
"I mean, yeah." Katsuki bluntly said. "We know what he've done."
...Most of them felt bad.
"Yeah, but..." Kirishima tried to think of something, but nothing came to mind.
"What are they suppose to do?" Jiro sighed.
"Wait!" Toru suddenly spoken. "They can't execute him if they knew he was hypnotized. Jango hypnotized him, right?"
"He must have been like that for years. I'm pretty sure someone would had noticed something's off, so maybe he's always like that before Jango." Iida theorized.
"And how the hell are you suppose to turn off the hypnotism in the first place?" Sero asked.
Helmeppo knows there's no way around it as he continued to sob. Before Coby could comfort him, they and the other soldiers were on deck, seeing the Vice Admiral himself: Garp the Fist.
From the navy ship with the dog figurehead was an old but strong looking man wearing a dog mask. Coby claimed that he's 'the hero of the seas who travels all over the Grand Line.'
The students perked at the hero title Garp is given, but was cautious at the same time, remembering how most of the marines are like. They can't bring their hopes up now.
Garp boarded the ship as the soldiers delivered Morgan to him. As Coby held a crying Helmeppo back, Garp fell asleep until a soldier yelled at him to wake up, which in turn, made Garp yell back.
Apparently, Garp has been up for 5 days now. The soldier thanked him for his hard work, but in actuality, Garp've been going for a new doughnut eating record.
"...what?" Several people from the audience said, dumbfounded. There were a few who managed a laugh at this.
Garp does admit that the lack of sleep have made him a bit drowsy. Then, in the middle of biting into his donut, Garp fell asleep.
Morgan thought this man is a joke and told him to cut the sleeping act, but Garp continued to sleep where he stood. Morgan took the chance to slice him down, much to everyone's horror.
"Goddamn it, you couldn't take the axe away." Katsuki complained.
"I'm pretty sure the thing's bolted to him." Mineta felt panicked over the new development.
Breaking out of his chains, Morgan held Helmeppo hostage, threatening to kill him. Even when Coby reminded him that Helmeppo's his son, Morgan admits that he doesn't care about his life. All he wants is freedom.
As Todoroki glared at him furiously, some of the students gasped at his words.
"Okay, I don't care if you were hypnotized a long time ago, you deserve to be executed now." Jiro glared.
Helmeppo cried out for help as he and Morgan sailed away on a small boat. Coby screamed in horror when he saw a cannon aimed at the two.
"Jesus, did you want to kill them? Because that's the only outcome from that!" Mineta criticized them.
Coby stood in front of the cannon to make sure they don't fire. Even as he trembled, Coby declared Helmeppo as his friend, refusing to let them shoot.
Izuku can'r stop smiling, seeing Coby recklessly defend his friend, even when that friend pretty much bullied him before. It was oddly... nostalgic, in some way.
Helmeppo sniffled at his words as Morgan thought of Coby as a fool.
The trench coat nam reminded the chore boy that he will pay for this, but Coby refuse to abandon Helmeppo, he'll capture Morgan himself.
Coby turned around and jumped into the ocean, swimming his way to Morgan's boat. One of the soldiers told him to come back since there's no way for him to catch Morgan, but the trench coat man told him to let Coby go. He's either a foot, or...
Most of the students cheered on Coby as the teachers found themselves smiling at the scene.
"Hopefull, he does have a plan." Aizawa said.
"I don't think so." Hizashi shook his head.
"But at least he's doing something." Toshinori said.
The Marines wondered what they should do. That was when Garp casually stood up and stretched out his body, then with his fist only, he smashed the cannon, effectively bending it in half.
"Holy shi, old man." Kirishima gaped with the others, surprised by the man's strength.
He asked what's all the racket about. One of the soldiers thought he was done for, and Garp was shocked by that, seeing that he've must have missed it while he was asleep. When he asked who was wounded and was met with stares, he looked down to see the big cut on his chest, and sheepishly smiled.
As some of the students laughed at the marines' reaction, Todoroki said, "I can't believe he's in the marines."
"He must be powerful if he's a vice admiral." Izuku said.
"It sounds like a powerful title." Ochako said.
"Do we even know what the rankings are?" Denki asked.
Mina pointed at Izuku and said, "You research that."
"Didn't you guys made a point of me not spoiling myself?" Izuku sighed.
"Toru did," Kirishima pointed out, which made the invisible girl let out a huff. "And besides, I don't see how looking at the rankings of the marines would show any important spoilers."
"Well, I guess I don't see the harm in it."
Out at sea, Morgan cackled at his newfound freedom, planning to have to the world kneel down to him once again, as Helmeppo stared at the floor.
Morgan ordered him to set their course to the west, but Helmeppo refused. He doesn't want to have a part in this, and acknowledged that Coby have covered him, even when getting kicked out of the navy would destroy his dream.
"We love some character development here." Jiro smirked.
Helmeopp declared that he will capture Morga, and told him to just give up, but Morgan beat him, demanding if he realizes who he's talking to. He tried to be 'nice' and offered some things in compensation, but Helmeppo told him to shut up, getting another beating. Even when his father told him to know his place, Helmeppl still refused, wanting to decide how he lives.
"Well, I'm glad that he's standing up to his dad." Mina said.
"But how the hell is he going to get out of this?" Katsuki asked.
"Coby." Todoroki pointed out.
"Deku 2 will churn out the same results."
Pining him down, Morgan could only wonder on what he could possibly do, and that's when Coby came in.
Coby told Morgan to give up for he's here to capture him.
From the Marine ship, Garp was looking through some binoculars, eating a donut.
Ochako let out a soft gasp, a big smile on her face. "Is he going to see their potential?"
Back to the small boat, Morgan beaten Helmeppo and Coby down, calling them insects. He plans to chop them up.
Helmeppo apologized to Coby for all of this, but Coby didn't mind because they're friends. Standing up, he've declared that he've made up his mind, deciding to live for his beliefs.
Even when their fighting skills are pretty much amateur, most of the students let out cheers for the two. Seeing their determination to take Morgan down no matter how many times they were beaten, it was just plain encouraging to them.
Even as Morgan tried to murder Coby, the two continued on beating their fists on him... until Morgan threw them out at sea, deciding to not kill some insects.
Just as he was about to sail away, Helmeppo declared that he'll let him go for today, but in the future, he will surpass him and he will capture him.
"I'm so proud of you two!" Ochako said as if she was their mother.
"Still, they might be punished for letting a villain get away." Iida frowned.
Back on the Marine ship, the soldiers bowed, apologizing for their poor supervision while Coby and Helmeppo were bowing all the way to the ground. The man in charge declared that the chore boys will kicked out the marines for life.
"No!" Students let out disappointed shouts as Izuku nervously looked around.
Garp could see that Coby and Helmeppo are just a bunch of lost causes with no one to turn to, so he has to bring them to the Navy Headquarters.
Soft, surprised gasps came from the students, big grins appearing on their faces.
The man can't believe that Garp's taking them to the HQ, but can't disagree with it. Garp asked the chore boys if they're against it, laughing at this odd day.
As Morgan sailed away and the chore boys head for the HQ, Coby, in his head, tell his tale to Luffy and hopes to meet him in the future.
"To Be Continued."
"Well, grandpa, you must be a miracle worker if you believe you can whip those two into shape." Katsuki sighed.
"Don't be like that, Coby's been given another chance at the Marines." Mina said.
"And the anime given us a bit more depth to Helmeppo and his father." Izuku added.
"You got to stop spoiling yourself with that." Toru said with a pout to her tone.
"Don't worry, that was the last of the cover story episodes. I checked."
"What? Really?" Ochako frowned.
"I think there's an animated short inspired by a future cover story, but I'm sure that's it."
As Toru shouted at Izuku about maybe spoiling himself, Aizawa let out a sigh, hoping they would survive for tomorrow.
Chapter 32 - Episode 69
"As you can see, Coby held them up at gun point." Izuku said on that Tuesday afternoon, showing them the cover story on his phone.
"So, it went a bit differently." Denki said, looking over his shoulder.
"I kind of like the anime's version a bit better." Iida said. "It really shows how far Coby would go."
"Well, so does the manga version." Ochako nodded.
"The fact that Metal Jaw just let them go is kind of... anticlimactic if you ask me." Jiro sighed.
Izuku let out a small hum, interested in how they would react to the next episode.
Skipping episode 69's ("Nice.") opening, they were greeted with the title card, "Coby-Meppo's Resolve! Vice-Admiral Garp's Parental Affection."
On the Going Merry, Usopp was looking through the telescope, pretending that a million Little Garden residents are out to greet Captain Usopp.
"What a great start." Katsuki sarcastically said.
Eating an apple, Zoro called him stupid, making Usopp angry, which in turn caused Nami to get angry at them.
Turning back to Vivi, Nami calmed down as the two discuss about avoiding coral reefs. Sanji served them some 'tarte aux poies.'
"Oh, that looks delicious." Sato said as the girls were in awe of the dessert.
"Tarte aux poires, or 'pear tear.'" Aoyama translated for them.
"Man, everything sounds fancier in french." Denki commented on.
Vivi, Nami, and Usopp thought it looked delicious, and then they noticed the sniper was there. Annoyed, Sanji pointed him to his own dessert, but soon, he asked where Luffy is. Nami told him the rubber man is drawing water since she wants to take a shower.
"There was a machine like that during the old pirate days?" Mina wondered.
"Does it look like we would know that?" Katsuki sighed.
"Highly doubt it thought." Todoroki said.
There was a loud crash as it turns out Luffy broke the machine when he tried to make it draw water faster. Luffy wondered how it happened. Nami punched him and said it was from his monstrous strength.
Iida nodded. "You should be more careful with such equipment."
"It's probably the most advance thing on the ship." Todoroki said.
"I thought that would be the oven." Denki commented on.
"But they have Sanji."
"Okay, yeah, you're right."
Vivi asked if it can't be fixed, and Usopp claimed they would need to get material from somewhere else. Nami noted that she shouldn't ask Luffy to do anything now, and asked Usopp to get water from the other water-drawing machine for her.
"Oh good, they have another machine." Momo sighed.
I can't tell if this is better than the Deku 2 shit. Katsuki thought in frustration.
At first, Usopp agreed, but soon realized what she've said, telling her to do that herself.
Luffy suddenly looked up, smelling food from the kitchen as Usopp complained about not getting a little remorse. Vivi looked up to see the newspaper courier, getting Nami's attention.
"You got to love these slice of life moments sometimes." Aoyama happily sighed.
"Isn't it suppose to be about Coby and Helmeppo though?" Ochako asked.
"It's not the first time it took a while for the title's subject matter to appear." Iida reminded her.
As Ussop grumbly draw water for Nami, the navigator can't believe they would deliver the morning newspaper at snack time, reading the newspaper at the table. Vivi claimed it's because they're traveling in the Grand Line and they should feel lucky to still get the news, which Nami agrees to.
Looking through the paper, one piece of news caught her eye, but when Vivi noticed, Nami tried to brush it off.
Some of the students' faces hardened.
"Something happened to Vivi's kingdom." Izuku predicted. "That's why Nami's trying to act causal."
"She wouldn't hide i if it wasn't sever in some way." Todoroki frowned.
Luffy suddenly surprised Nami, looking at the newspaper. In the paper was a picture of the Navy, which included the cowering duo: Coby and Helmeppo.
"Not the most flattering picture of them." Aoyama sadly sighed, shaking his head.
Luffy asked what it was about, and Nami read the article, saying how it's about Vice Admiral Garp's warship arriving at the Navy Headquarters, mentioning the reaction to crossing over Reverse Mountain.
"Wait, it that how they entered the Grand Line?" Izuku murmured to himself, trying to remember the cover stories.
Luffy was glad that Coby made it to the Grand Line as Zoro was impressed it's at the Navy Headquarters. Luffy's confident that Coby will be a Navy mayor- er, Navy officer.
The newspaper coo flied all the way tot he Navy Headquarters. There, Coby and Helmeppo watched in disbelief, seeing the soldiers do 2000 push ups, 100 round trips of rope crossing, 200 laps (and those who can't finish within 1 hour will be penalized with another 100 laps), and finally, ending it off with practice matches since Helmeppo got hit by a stray wooden sword.
A couple of students let out impressed whistles at this.
"That's quite the work regiment." Kirishima said, impressed.
"We can do that easily." Katsuki rolled his eyes.
"Still, we shouldn't downplay what they're doing." Iida said.
Hiding at a warehouse by the docks, Helmeppo believes they might be here too early. With the way they are right now, he believes they won't make it, convincing himself that they shouldn't try again they've trained themselves more.
"I mean, it does look rather intimidating." Aoyama agreed.
"But this is the chance of a lifetime for you!" Mina shouted at the chore boy.
Helmeppo was about to walk out until Coby pinned him to the wall, reminding him that he wants to surpass his father. Helmeppo does, but he feels like if he do all those things, he'll die.
Coby was reminded of Luffy's words, telling the blond man that he should be happy to die for it.
The students smiled brightly at this, seeing how determined Coby became.
Helmeppo thought that might be a bit too far, but Coby doesn't want him to run away.
At the mention of 'running away,' Garp suddenly appeared, hoping the two aren't going to bring disgrace on him. Then he punched them.
"Oh geez, they haven't even done anything!" Mineta held his hands up.
"Didn't realize the man was quite... violent." Iida said, a little disturbed.
"Hm... Maybe he's actually Nami's grandpa." Todoroki theorized, causing Izuku to facepalm.
"They only share one trait." Izuku groaned. "That would be like saying Luffy and Garp are related because they smile and punch things."
"That might be the better theory actually."
Once again, Izuku has to facepalm.
Garp told them they can be easily replaced, and if they want to run away, then they should hurry up and do it. Picking himself up, Coby declared that they won't run away. They've come this far fully prepared to die if necessary, and he've asked for orders. He's certain they'll carry them out.
Helmeppo himself was uncertain as Garp turned around. The Vice Admiral scared them out of their wits, telling them to get back to work.
Once the chore boys ran away, Garp passed by the fedora man from the last episode, and told him to continue to watch over them.
"Why would you want to watch over them?" Katsuki complained.
"Because they have potential." Ochako proclaimed.
"And they have a tendency to be reckless." Aizawa added.
After the eyecatches, the pigtailed girl can't believe Coby and Helmeppo were transferred to the Navy Headquarters. Though that means they seem promising to the Vice Admiral, the girl repeatedly hit the messenger on the head, crying about them not saying anything.
She wanted to play with them more...She wanted to talk to them more... and and she was learning how to cook so she could make them a tasty lunch. She didn't even had the chance to say goodbye.
The girls let out sad "aw..."s towards Rita's heartfelt feelings as Denki whispered, "Wait, is this the first time we got her name?"
Back with the chore boys, as they sweep the floors, Helmeppo asked if this is really going to make them marines, and wondered if this is just the old man's hobby of tormenting youths. Garp seems crafty and eccentric enough to do so.
"Sometimes, it seems that way." Toshinori and Izuku said at the same time. Though Toshinori did shivered a bit, remembering how Gran Torino treated him back in the day.
Helmeppo yelled at the birds to shut up, but the duo quickly went back to work when they saw Garp, covered in birds, was right there. Even with Garp away from them, they could still feel his glinting eyes, making them work even harder.
"Oh my god!" Hizashi can't help but to laugh, seeing how terrified the two are, as the students looked rather horrified for them.
Later, the chore boys were shown washing the uniforms with bumps on their heads.
Now, later at night, in their beds, Helmeppo was walking about how quick that old geezer is to resort to violence and how he's feared by everyone. Coby commented on how Garp's fists was heavier than Alvida's until he realized they need to stop the pointless chatter, especially when they are working. Helmeppo pointed out that they're friends, and Coby thought he's only saying that for convenience's sake, and asked him to work more seriously, which Helmeppo agreed on...
Iida nodded in approval.
...at first. A few seconds later, he decided to quit and go back to how he used to live.
Iida let out a sigh, shaking his head as Jiro said, "It's a little too late for that."
Coby told him that it's no use saying that now since it'll be a different story if they became a Navy officer, but for Helmeppo, it would mean they can't run away nor can they slack off.
"I mean, no one said that marine/hero stuff was going to be easy." Kirishima shrugged.
Helmeppo recognized there's only one way back to how he used to live, and that would be to become important quickly.
Aizawa let out a sigh himself, shaking his head as Hizashi said, "I'm pretty sure you would had to work for that, buddy."
Coby knows there's no easy way to do that. He believes they have to work hard and steadily with patience.
He noticed Helmeppo walking off, and asked what he's doing.
Helmeppo doesn't want to do chores and wait around, so he'll strength his body.
A couple of students let out delighted gasps, a sense of pride filling them.
"You're going to work hard?" Kirishima grinned.
Coby thought he had to be kidding. It can't be possible since they work so hard during the day that they're physically a wreak.
Izuku nodded, remembering his training for One for All, but he did managed through… though not easily either.
Just as Coby was about to go to bed, Helmeppo already decided on his plan: to become important and go back to how he used to live. He'll surpass his dad too! That's what he decided on now.
"Glad the character development train is still chugging along." Jiro smiled just a bit, feeling a little proud of the blonde.
Coby doesn't believe his body could possibly last. In fact, it has to be impossible! If Helmeppo goes through with it, he'll die.
But Helmeppo reminded him that if you die fighting for it, you should be happy, right?
In that moment, Coby was reminded of Luffy.
"I guess he did inspired him." Toshinori smiled at the scene.
Just as Helmeppo was about to leave, Coby stopped him, and he realized that he was saying wimpy things like before. Helmeppo's right. The issue isn't if they can do it or not, but it's if they have the will to do it. Coby decided that he'll go along with him, even if his motive is a little impure.
"I'm so proud of you, Deku 2!" Ochako cheered as the rest of the class were happy with Coby's willpower.
As the two went on their training, it was revealed that the fedora marine was listening to them.
With the sun barely up, Coby and Helmeppo were seen training, as they were being watched over by Garp and the fedora man. Even with their chores, the two chore boys ran, did push ups, pull ups, and sword training, working as hard as they could.
The students watching over them felt proud for the two, even the teachers can't help but to smile.
As the two were pulling out weeds, they overheard the marine officers talk about Luffy's bounty and how they'll execute dirty pirates like him. Once they left, Coby thought something is wrong with that while Helmeppo reminded him that a pirate is a pirate. Coby knows that, but he can't accept it.
"I know, right?" Toru spoke out.
"He saved a village from a decade long tyranny, and he's the one with the bounty." Jiro bitterly said.
Coby said that he and Luffy are friends, which made Helmeppo cover his mouth and shush him. He has to remind him that a marine can't have a pirate friend. If he says that again, he'll get fired for sure. Coby knows that and the fact that Helmeppo is the only one here... until it was revealed that Garp is there.
There were surprised squeaks and squeals from the audience.
"Where the hell did you come from?!" Katsuki shouted.
"Please don't tell me you've heard anything from Coby." Kirishima hoped.
The duo jumped away from the vice admiral, shocked that he's here. Garp mentioned they were talking about something interesting, and he asked who's his friend.
"No one! Absolutely no one!" Mina tried to answer for them.
Though the two didn't say anything, Garp took them to the beach and asked them if they're friends with Luffy.
Coby acknowledged he isn't sure Helmeppo is, but he admits to being Luffy's friend even when they're apart.
"Deku 2..." Ochako softly said. She's proud of him, but at the same time, she's worried for his dream.
Garp knows he can't keep people like him in the Navy, but fortunately, he's the only one who knows it.
"Wait, what about fedora dude over there?" Denki pointed out.
Garp asked if Coby want to be a marine. Coby tried to say that Helmeppo shouldn't be involved, but the blond held a hand and answered for him, that they both want to be marines and that's why they're here. This is their joint responsibility.
Still, Garp asked for Coby's answer. Of course, Coby does, so that means they have to fight.
"Well, they're dead." Katsuki casually said.
The duo strip off their shirts and ties, showing off the bodies they've trained. They sprinted on ahead, but Garp sucker punched them, causing them to collapse.
Still, they won't give up.
At first, the students were glad for the duo's determination, but Garp's offscreen punches gave them some pauses, seeing the two are now on the sandy shore.
Even beaten tot he ground, the two refused to give up, picking themselves up.
"I'm a man who will become a Navy officer!"
Students cheered for the two to go on.
The fedora man looked puzzled as Garp laughed long enough for the two to punch him in the gut, cutting him off.
"...D-Did they win?" Toru asked, reluctant in the moment.
Among the open seas and the garden's trees, Garp does admit that people have been calling him eccentric and other things for quite a while. He wanted to test the duo to see what they're really like, and though they've strengthened their bodies, Garp thought they might be mentally weak.
Helmeppo asked for the verdict. To Garp, he'll acknowledge their determination, but... they still got a long way to go.
Some of the students winced at the aftermath of the beating, but Izuku managed to twitch a smile. "At least they're still in the Navy."
From now on, the two will have an intense special training everyday, and Garp will overlook the friend situation as long as they don't tell anyone, cherish that feeling.
As Garp walked away, Coby and Helmeppo were able to stand up and salute to him, thanking him.
As they trained, on the Going Merry, Nami sit up from her bed to look at Vivi, then pulled out the newspaper from under her pillow. She crept over to a drawer and hid it, giving one last look at the princess.
The students became worried, wondering what happened to Vivi's kingdom.
Before "To Be Continued" came out, Luffy happily cheered for Little Garden in his sleep.
"Okay, fucking finally." Katsuki sighed as they went onto the next episode.
Chapter 33 - Episode 70 & 71
Skipping episode 70's opening, they were greeted with the title card: "An Ancient Island! The Shadow Hiding in Little Garden!"
"Ancient island? Like how old?" Denki asked.
"Mayan? Victorian? Prehistoric?" Mina guessed.
"Victorian?" Ojiro raised an eyebrow.
Out at the blue sea, Luffy wondered if it's not going to snow anymore, which Zoro thought it would be impossible. Luffy reminded him that he slept through the first one. He asked Vivi about it.
Vivi said it could, but the sea they were first in is special since the seven magnetic forces from Reverse Mountain mess everything up, but they can't relax their attention though. It's honestly rare for this sea to be wild like the first journey, but it's true that it's more difficult than ordinary ones. Never underestimate this sea.
"You don't need to tell us twice." Mineta sighed, remembering how wild the weather got for the crew.
"Hopefully, Nami would be able to help them on that." Ochako said.
Sanji came out with his special drinks. The boys surrounded him, getting a glass.
Vivi watched as the boys were casually making conversation about fishing. Sanji was showing Karoo how to drink through a straw. They watched as Karoo went through drink after drink.
Vivi wanted to get angry until Nami hands her a drink and told her they'll work hard when it storms. While it's true, the princess feels like she's worked up over nothing, which Nami chalked up to being the ship's atmosphere.
"Don't worry. We know you want to go back to Alabasta quickly." Iida reassured.
As Karoo gotten dizzy from the drinks, Vivi felt like she could relax for now.
Soon, they saw a cute dolphin swimming in the sea, jumping in the air... A giant dolphin, in fact.
"Giant dolphins!" Toru excitedly shouted.
Once the dolphin landed back into the sea, it was like a switch has been flipped as the Straw Hats went back to work to ride the waves and try to shake the dolphin off their path.
Like that, they were able to ride the waves out of there.
"That's a surprisingly good strategy from him." Izuku said, quite impressed.
When they follow the direction of the Log Pose, they were able to see an island up ahead; one that's covered with fog. Their second island in the Grand Line.
"There seems to be some volcanoes." Iida said, a little worried.
On a completely different island, a man, Mr. 3, and a little girl were having a conversation. The braided girl was bored, but Mr. 3 told her to take advantage of the free time they have, and also, she should be saying his code name out in the public like that.
"...But your hair..." Denki started out.
"That's the joke." Jiro flatly said.
Mr. 3 asked about the paper she have been looking at for the past few days, and she claimed it's an order from the boss. Of course, he got angry about it.
With a look through the paper, Mr. 3 learned that Mr. 5 has been taken down, and he wished that it was Mr. 2 instead, which the girl claimed he would get a promotion. Mr. 3 just thought it wasn't that big of deal since Mr. 5 is just an 'idiot with devil fruit power' who got overconfident of his position. He believes that no matter how amazing the devil fruit power one gains, if he can't fully utilize it, his existence is a total waste.
He drank his entire cup of tea, then claimed that "superb criminals execute their crimes using their superb brains," so he wants to teach whoever beat Mr. 5 a lesson.
"You're not as terrifying as you think, dude." Denki said.
Back with the Straw Hats, they've entered the jungle of Little Garden, though Zoro is confused on the 'little' part. Nami felt like the place doesn't fit its cute name.
"I guess it would be little to that giant." Kirishima said.
Usopp was scared of the place while Vivi is more worried about what Miss All Sunday was saying about Little Garden. The sniper was fearful that a monster might appear.
He hoped that they can go to their next destination without going ashore on this one, but Nami reminded him that the Log can't be stored so quickly, and also they have to stock up on food soon too since they didn't get anything in the last town they were in.
Zoro pointed out a river mouth. Going down that path, the boys were talking about food and BBQ restaurants until Nami noticed something off about the plants; she've never seen anything like them, even in encyclopedias.
"Huh, I thought they looked kind of like typical tropical plants." Mina tilted her head in confusion.
Nami was frightened by a chaw, which Sanji thought was cute... which Usopp thought that was for him.
Nami wondered what was that. Sanji thought that was just a bird since this is a jungle, but a gigantic bird was approaching them. Nami and Usopp ran, leaving Sanji confused until he nearly dodged the creature.
"Wait, was that one of those... dinosaur birds?" Denki pointed out.
"I believe you mean 'archaeopteryx.'" Momo corrected him.
"Yeah, that! This island has dinosaurs!"
As some of the students became excited at the idea of seeing dinosaurs, Iida gaped, "But that can't be! They've died millions of years ago."
"Anime." Jiro answered as if that would be a satisfying answer to that.
As the bird fly away, Luffy wondered if that lizard tastes good, but soon, they heard an explosion from up ahead. Usopp thought a volcano erupted.
"That sounds like a bomb exploding to me." Sero said, which made Katsuki let out a low growl. He does not want to see Mr. 5 again.
After the eyecatches, a tiger appeared from the darkness, staring down the Going Merry, much to Nami and Usopp's fright.
"Holy shit, I'm pretty sure tigers aren't suppose to be that big!" Sato exclaimed.
Suddenly, the tiger spits out blood, collapsing to the ground, much to everyone's confusion. Why does a tiger, king of the jungle, fall covered in blood?
"I'm pretty sure it's the lion that's king of the jungle." Tokoyami corrected her on.
"Who cares? A tiger literally spit out blood!" Denki panicked in the moment.
Usopp nodded in agreement, saying that they're not going to stop on this island. Nami is certain they can quietly wait on the ship until the Log is stored and leave this island as soon as possible.
"I'm not sure if the whole crew can be as quiet as you want." Momo warily smiled.
They stopped by the shore, and Luffy ordered Sanji to make them a 'pirate lunch' with lots of meat and no veggies. He can smell adventure in the air.
"Luffy, you need to have a more balanced meal than that." Iida scolded him.
"How many times do we have to say this?" Ochako sighed, placing a hand on his shoulder.
When Nami asked where he is going, Luffy happily answered with 'adventure.' With that dopey grin on his face, Nami could tell she can't stop him as Usopp thought he was crazy.
Surprisingly enough, Vivi wants to join in, much to the cowardly duo's shock. Vivi believes that if she just sit around here, she may start thinking about all sorts of things, so it's probably best if she goes out until the Log is stored. Nami warned her it would be too dangerous for her.
"I mean, there's a giant and dinosaurs on this island." Izuku said.
"Never thought I would hear such a combination." Tokoyami commented on.
Vivi thought she'll be fine since Karoo will be there with her, which the bird is absolutely surprised by.
Before Sanji couls make a lunch of love for Viv, the princess asked if he could prepare something to drink for Karoo, which he agreed to.
Later, Sanji helped Luffy and Karoo pack up their things, allowing the three to adventure into the jungle. Nami and Usopp were surprised how brave Miss Wednesday is, though she did infiltrated an enemy organization.
Well, now Zoro's bored, so he'll go on a walk.
"If this doesn't spell out disaster, I don't know what will." Shoji said.
Before Zoro could leave, Sanji stopped to ask if he could bring back any edible animals. Zoro agreed, saying he'll get one the cook can't possibly capture. At that, so they'll make this a hunting match.
"Oh no, they're going to have a rivalry now?" Ochako said.
"Funny how this is the second rivalry between green hair and blond I've seen." Jiro lightly laughed.
"Who's the first?" Izuku and Katsuki asked at the same time.
They'll compete over how many kilos of meat they'll get, though Zoro believes he'll get tons.
As the two leave their separate ways, Usopp and Nami could only cry at the fact they're like this. Then they realized they're just sitting ducks, but Nami realized something.
She went inside to look through the books. Dodging some of the books, Usopp asked what she's doing, which is when Nami claimed that a book she've read before was about Little Garden.
In the jungle, Luffy, Karoo, and Vivi ran around until Luffy found something that looks like a shellfish that's like a squid. To Vivi, it looks like an ammonite.
"It is an ammonite!" Momo exclaimed, hand to her mouth. "But they should had died out 66 million years ago."
The three felt the area shake. Meanwhile, Sanji walked around until he could feel like someone's been following him for a while, though it could be his imagination.
"Holy shit, it's a T-Rex!" Denki shouted out of both excitement and fear for Sanji.
Sanji noticed the dinosaur when its drool landed on his head, though he didn't run away at the sight of it. Instead, he kicked it right in the neck.
"Oh my god, they're going to fight dinosaurs!" Kirishima happily exclaimed at the realization, eyes sparkling.
For Zoro, he was face to face with some three horned creature-
"Triceratops. It's a triceratops." Iida said with his hand up.
-and he wonders if it's edible.
Back with the cowardly duo, Nami found a book as Luffy, Karoo, and Vivi wondered why there's a Sea King on land, which Vivi horrifyingly claimed was a dinosaur.
"An apatosaurus!" Izuku grinned.
Vivi figured out that this is an ancient island, a land where it's stuck in the time of dinosaurs.
"...But shouldn't they be dead from the meteoroid?" Mina tilted her head in confusion.
Since there were no exchanges among islands in the Grand Line due to difficulties with sea travels, each one established its unique culture. There are islands that have an extremely sophisticated cultures and others that remain the same without progressing for several years. The random climate in the Grand Line makes it possible.
"I guess they do have an explanation." Jiro said.
"You know what? I'm just here for the dinosaurs now." Denki said.
Luffy suddenly slingshotted himself to the apatosaurus's neck, which made Vivi scold him.
"Oh, come on, it's not like the dinosaur could eat him." Toru said. "I'm pretty sure it can only eat greens."
"I mean, there are some herbivores that would eat meat." Iida said.
"I think I saw a video of a cow eating a chicken once." Tokoyami commented on, then he shivered.
As Nami was about to show Usopp the book she've found, Sanji was fighting with the T-Rex while Zoro was going to fight with the triceratops because they both used Santoryu.
There was a couple of surprised chuckles from the audience.
"Oh, Sanji's fighting the T-Rex because it doesn't use its arms!" Denki grinned as he've discovered something amazing.
Once Zoro slide Wado into its sheath, the triceratops fell.
Now, somewhere else in the jungle, a giant figure stomped through, a red aura surrounding him.
"Oh, we finally meet the giant." Katsuki said.
"Hm, he doesn't look like a caveman." Toru observed.
"What? Did you think humans back then were giants?" Jiro asked.
"I mean, maybe?"
"We have scientific evidence against that." Iida sighed.
"But is from the One Piece world?" Denki said.
Just as Nami and Usopp were about to discuss the book, the giant shadow appeared before them, much to their horror.
"It's a lot bigger than I thought." Momo said, frightened.
Before Mineta could say a word, he could feel Tsuyu's glare on him.
Nami dropped the book, which the author of the book have called this land "Little Garden" because that's what it is to its residents.
"To Be Continued."
"Residents." Izuku repeated. "That means there's more than one giant there."
"Well, this is going to be fun." Hizashi grinned.
After skipping episode 71's opening and recap, they were greeted with Nami and Usopp crying now that they're face to face with the giant shadow who has the strange laugh of "Gababababababababa!"
Jiro let out a surprised snort. "What was that?"
The title card came up, "Huge Duel! The Giants Dorry and Broggy!"
"Yes! Two giants!" Katsuki exclaimed.
The two were absolutely terrified as the giant asked for the answer. When Nami asked him to repeat the question, the giant claimed he asked if they have any alcohol. Usopp frantically nodded as Nami said that they do, or at least alcohol for cooking and disinfection. Still, she's willing to give all to him.
Suddenly, the giant screamed, which made the duo scream in terror. Turning around, it was revealed that a T-Rex was biting his back.
With a single swing of his ax, the giant decapitated the dinosaur.
With Koda letting out a frightened squeak, Kirishima let out a low, impressed whistle. "He's so strong."
Presenting the dinosaur head to the cowering duo, the giant introduced himself as Broggy, Elbaf's strongest warrior. Since he's got meat, he'll treat his guests, who were pretending to be dead.
As Kirishima wondered what would dinosaur meat taste like, Momo said, "This Broggy doesn't seem to be a bad person."
"Yeah, he's offering food." Denki said.
"Don't use Straw Hat's logic." Katsuki sighed.
From on top of the apatosaurus, Luffy had a great view of the place, seeing volcanoes and a mountain with huge holes in it. Vivi told him to get down from the dinosaur, but Luffy ignored her warning in favor of asking the apatosaurus for a ride. It just ignored him of course, eating some leaves.
"I don't think dinosaurs would be able to understand human speech, Luffy." Iida said.
"I think that's 99 percent of animals." Izuku sweatdropped.
Luffy sharply turned the dinosaur's neck, causing it to roar in pain. The noise caused the land to shake and summoned more dinosaurs, much larger ones.
"Oh no, did Luffy bullied the baby?" Toru said.
"Seeing how big they are, I think he did." Denki worried.
Though Luffy happily exclaimed at the dinosaurs around him, Vivi told him to get down already, but seeing how much taller they are, Luffy didn't listen and stretched to one of them.
As Luffy admired the view, the other dinosaurs tried to attack, but Luffy treated it more like some carnival ride, hopping around til he slide down the neck of one of the apatosaurus.
"It does look like fun." Kirishima's eyes sparkled.
"No." Iida firmly said.
"Oh come on, where are we going to get a bunch of dinosaurs?" Sero said.
Luffy's fun slide ride was over as he was sent flying in the air and stretched himself to a particularly scarred apatosaurus with the others try to take a bite out of him.
While Luffy does have a great view, Vivi could only stare as the scarred dinosaur flung into the air and into its mouth.
"Luffy!" Students were just as shock as Vivi.
In the apatosaurus's mouth, Luffy was confuse, then he was flung down the neck by the tongue.
Suddenly, a giant appeared, slicing off the dinosaur's neck and letting Luffy fly right into his hand.
As some of the other students gawk, Momo said, "I'm guessing that's Dorry."
The dinosaurs ran off as the giant let out a great laugh of "Geyayayaya!"
Jiro let out another surprised snort. "Another funny laugh?"
"I mean, there were others." Izuku said.
"Yeah, Arlong's went like… Shahahahaha!" Denki mimicked the fishman's laugh.
The giant claimed that he was watching him. Luffy's the first guest in a long time. Luffy could see he's so huge, asking if he's human.
The giant laughed, introducing himself as Dorry, Elbaf's strongest warrior.
"Wait, I thought that was Broggy's title." Mina said.
"I can smell another rivalry from here." Jiro said.
Karoo fainted from the sight of the giant as Vivi collapsed to her knees. She've heard of giants, but never seen them before.
Luffy introduced himself as a pirate, and before Vivi could leave with Karoo, Luffy soon introduced the two to Dorry.
Dorry was happy to invite them to his home.
"Well, at least the giants don't seem malicious." Iida said.
"Yet." Jiro said.
"I highly doubt they're the villains of the arc when we have the secret agents." Denki rolled his eyes.
After the eyecatches, Broggy was starting the fire to cook the meat as Nami and Usopp thought it was a bad idea to continue playing dead. Then Usopp saw the human skulls.
"Okay, I can see the reason why they don't trust him." Denki reconsidered.
Usopp was frightened at the idea of being eaten, so Nami decided they can't wait here any longer.
As Broggy happily sing about grilling dinosaur meat, the two sneaked away and then ran off into the jungle. They were glad they're not going to be in a giant's belly, then they saw a saber tooth tiger.
The two were being chased by the tiger until later when the three were being chased after by a T-Rex.
"You're just changing the stomach you'll be in." Katsuki heckled, earning a few chuckles.
The chase was stopped by Broggy, who licked his lips at the dinosaur.
The animals ran off as Nami and Usopp were frozen with fear, accepting their fate. Broggy was glad they're awake, so they can have meat and alcohol.
Now at Broggy's home, the two didn't want to eat the meat in fear that he's just going to fatten them up and then eat them.
"I'm pretty sure he's just going to eat the dinosaur meat." Toru said as Katsuki grumbled about saying a similar thing to Long Nose.
Nami wondered how long until the Log is stored so they could fast until then. She decided to ask that question to the giant, and he claimed it's one year.
"One year!?" The audience shouted.
"While this has been fun, I don't think I want them to stay here for a year." Izuku said. "There's so much you would get out of dinosaurs."
With Luffy, he and Dorry were having a great time, talking about food as Vivi and Karoo just watch. The two were terrified when the giant seemed to have a different tune about Luffy beating him up, but in actuality, Dorry thought he was funny.
Luffy asked why he's living here alone, is there a village around here?
Dorry claimed there's a warriors' village called Elbaf, though that's somewhere else in the Grand Line. In Elbaf, there are rules, like if they start a fight and both sides can't back off, they are judged by Elaf's god, and their god always give divine protection to the righteous one and lets the righteous one survive.
"Oh, we're going more into their religion." Iida said with a bit of interest.
The giant had caused a disturbance, and this island is currently the site for a duel between a certain man and himself, so the righteous one will win the duel, but they haven't been able to settle that for about 100 years.
"100 years?!" A couple of students shouted in surprise.
Luffy was shocked by a such a thing, and Dorry explained that a giant's life span is three times as long as a human's.
Vivi asked if there's any point in continuing to fight, especially one to the death, but the giant just laughed.
"To be fair, it does sound tiresome, especially after that long." Momo agreed with the princess.
In the jungle, Sanji was confident in his win, dragging around his dead dinosaur, with Zoro going the same. Then they met at the middle.
Seeing each other, they claimed their win and declared the other the loser.
"Oh no..." Jiro sighed, bowing her head.
The two put their dinosaur side by side. Sanji claimed his is longer, but Zoro was quick to remind him that it's about how much meat they could get since his is obviously bigger than Sanji's.
"Oh my..." Mina covered her mouth as her cheeks turned a bit more rosy in color.
"What?" Kirishima raised an eyebrow at this.
Sanji is certain Zoro's dinosaur is full of bones, and Zoro is certain Sanji's is filled with sinews. They decided to try to capture even bigger prey, and by the next volcano's eruption, their competition is over.
With Luffy and the others, they saw the eruption, and Dorry saw this as the time to go. With Nami, Usopp, and Broggy, they also saw the eruption, and Broggy abandoned his meat to the flames. Usopp could see how tensed the giant got.
"What's going on?" Toru asked the question hanging in their minds.
Broggy apologized for his leave. When Nami asked why, the giant explained that was a signal for the duel he've been in for 100 years, and when he asked for the reason, he doesn't remember.
"Then, why keep doing it?" Jiro asked in confusion.
It honestly became their routine before they realized it. To Vivi, she thought it was fueled bu hatred, wondering what caused it, but Luffy stopped her. To him, it's not 'hatred.'
To Dorry, it's because of their pride.
"Pride?" Ochako repeated as Kirishima's eyes seemed to sparkle.
The two giants clashed, sending shockwaves throughout the island; one that sent Luffy onto his back. He's amazed by such a huge duel.
Kirishima eagerly nodded in agreement.
Somewhere in the jungle, a T-Rex came across a cube house that was so hard it broke its teeth on it. A man told it that it's in their way.
"They're here too?!" Ochako shouted in surprise as Katsuki let out an annoyed groan at the sight of the duo. "I thought it was going yo be just Mr. 3 and that girl."
"I would prefer it to be that way." Katsuki narrowed his eyes as Izuku quietly wondered what that house is made of.
Just as the T-Rex ran after them, Miss Valentine used her 10, 000 Kilogram Press to beat the dinosaur, and the two entered the strange house.
In there, they were greeted by Mr. 3. Mr. 5 reminded him that this mission is their's. Miss Valentine is certain they'll never goof up again.
"Since you're faced up with the Straw Hats, I bet you will." Katsuki said.
"I'm sure they would be prepared for that." Izuku said. "Besides, they also have Mr. 3 and that girl, so it might change the playing field, especially with whatever substance Mr. 3 creates."
Mr. 3 casually called them weak, but he did showed them the bounty posters of the giants, thanking them for the opportunity to come to this island.
The two giants were known as Dorry the Blue Oni and Broggy the Red Oni of the Giant Warrior Pirates.
"They were pirates." Iida can't help but to frown at what the agents are planning for the giants.
Miss Valentine had heard of them in an old tale. In fact, this wanted poster is from 100 years ago. While that's true, Mr. 3 also mentions that they also live on this island, and their bounty back then was 100 million per head; 200 million for the two of them.
"That's more than twice Crocodile's!" Ochako's eyes widen.
"What did they do for that?" Tsuyu wondered.
Mr. 3 wants them to follow his instructions.
"To Be Continued."
"It's over already?" Denki sighed as Aizawa ejected the disk.
As the students picked themselves up, ready to spent the rest of the day on other things, Kirishima said, "I think I'm going to like this arc."
"Really?" Mina raised an eyebrow.
"I just like the giants, I guess." The redhead tried to think of an explanation. "They're just so... manly."
