Location: Little Garden
"Gebababa! What a huge guy! Look, Dorry!"
Red Ogre Brogy stepped forward, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with his rival of a hundred years.
"Gegyagyagya! Even in Elbaf, it's rare to see a warrior this tall! Brogy!"
Blue Ogre Dorry hefted his massive sword, grinning.
Both captains were titans, standing over twenty meters tall. To a normal human, they were walking mountains. But compared to the Silver-White Clay Giant standing before them, they looked like children.
Storm's Clay Titan form was fifty meters tall. The giants barely reached its waist.
RUMBLE...
The Titan moved.
Storm raised its right hand. White clay surged, forming a greatsword thirty meters long.
He raised its left hand. Clay gathered into a tower shield as big as a fortress wall.
The Sword and Shield Titan had arrived.
Dorry stared at the sword, eyes gleaming. Brogy stared at the shield, practically drooling.
"What beautiful weapons..."
The two giants looked at their own gear—swords rusted from a century of use, shields chipped and battered. They exchanged a look.
The same thought flashed through their Viking brains: We're robbing him.
"Gentlemen!"
The Titan's voice boomed like thunder.
"I've brought a ship full of wine to this island. Whether you get to drink it depends on your performance!"
BOOM!
The Titan charged. Its massive legs shook the earth. In two strides, it closed the distance.
The white greatsword slashed down, carrying enough force to cleave a mountain.
Dorry and Brogy, who hadn't fought on the same side in a hundred years, moved in perfect sync.
"Brogy!"
"Dorry!"
They raised their round bucklers simultaneously.
"Svalinn (Shield of the Sun)!"
CLANG!!!
The Titan's sword slammed into the combined shields.
A shockwave exploded outward, flattening the surrounding jungle. Trees were uprooted instantly.
On the coast, Crocodile shielded his face from the gale. "This power... the true strength of Elbaf!"
Back in the clearing, the giants gritted their teeth.
CRACK...
Their ancient shields groaned. Spiderweb fractures spread rapidly across the metal. They couldn't hold.
"Dorry!"
"Brogy!"
"Use that move! NOW!"
The giants roared. They abandoned defense. They pushed back against the Titan's sword with a burst of raw power, creating a momentary opening.
Then they charged.
Despite their size, they moved with terrifying agility. They leaped into the air on either side of the Clay Titan.
Brogy swung his axe horizontally.
Dorry swung his sword horizontally.
Their weapons crossed in mid-air.
"Sun-Saw (Solar Saw)!"
Storm tried to block with the Titan's shield.
CRUNCH!
Brogy's axe smashed through the shield's weak point. Dorry's sword followed through.
The two weapons sliced through the Clay Titan's waist like a hot knife through butter.
The fifty-meter giant was bisected.
Its upper body slid off, crashing into the ground with an earth-shattering boom. It dissolved instantly into a puddle of white mud.
THUD! THUD!
Dorry and Brogy landed, panting but triumphant.
"Gebababa! Enemy defeated!"
"Gegyagya! But his weapon melted! What a waste!"
"Wait..." Brogy frowned. He stomped his foot. His boot sank deep into the earth. "Why is the ground so soft?"
Dorry looked around. "Brogy... look."
It wasn't just the mud puddle. The ground, the trees, the rocks... everything within a mile radius had turned into white clay.
[Ability: Clay-Clay Fruit - Awakening]
RUMBLE!
The clay ocean surged. A white wave rose into the sky, carrying a human-sized Storm on its crest.
"That was an Elbaf technique, wasn't it?" Storm clapped. "Impressive coordination. But now, let's see how you handle my true strength."
He snapped his fingers.
The clay ocean erupted.
Four massive pillars of white mud rose from the ground. They twisted, hardened, and took shape.
In seconds, four identical Sword and Shield Titans stood around the giants. Each one fifty meters tall.
"Two against one is unfair," Storm grinned. "So let's even the odds."
"Four against two."
Dorry and Brogy gripped their weapons, their faces grim.
"Wait, I have a question," Storm's voice echoed from all four Titans. "Do these giants summon reinforcements?"
The giants didn't answer.
"Let me answer for you. The answer is—"
"SUMMON!"
ROAR!
The clay surged again.
Four became eight. Eight became sixteen.
Sixteen Sword and Shield Titans now encircled the two Giant Captains. It was an army of golems.
"Don't call me despicable," Storm laughed. "You are the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates. You should be used to fighting armies!"
"ATTACK!"
The sixteen Titans charged.
The roar of battle shook the island to its core.
Minutes Later.
The dust settled. The clay receded.
Dorry and Brogy lay defeated, buried up to their necks in hardened white clay.
