Dory and Broggy

After a little more steps they had reached the place where the giants were seated along with the crew. These giants were really big when one came close to them. Their sizes were really out of the world which was still a mystery to Ken. Both Dory and Broggy seemed to get together and were having fun drinking the ale that Sanji and Zoro had brought back from the ship. Surprisingly even Robin had come with them to enjoy this festive mood.

It was probably the words of Zoro of the giants being very old that sparked her 'history' bug in her brain.

"Ah, Ken, you are here. See we made new friends. Giants ossan this is my brother. Ken, these are the two giants that had been fighting her for more than a century. It's amazing isn't it?"

"Hai, it is amazing."

Usopp seemed to be very much inspired by the story of the giants and talked with them more than the rest. They talked about the problem about leaving the island and the problem they had been facing. The giants of course decided to help them since they had consumed their food and ale.

But the problem was that their weapons were on the verge of breaking and they didn't know how to get rid of the giant goldfish.

"Nami, you can restore their weapons." Ken said as she reminded her that her magic could restore the weapons that it once was.

"Ah yes.. Dory-san.. Broggy -san.. Can you show me your weapons? I will restore them for you." Nami said. The giants were a little confused but they still brought it out. Nami waved her wand and soon miraculously the broken parts that was scattered all over the island, the small bits came flying over and attached themselves to the their weapons and even amending the cracks

The giants were dumbfounded by this and asked.

"What kind of Devil Fruit did you eat?"

"It's not a Devil Fruit. It's magic." Nami replied with pride. The giants got interested and asked Nami more about it and she explained. The giants then gave them a Log Pose which was already set for the next island.

They were happy about this and soon returned to the ship with the rations that they had collected on the island. Their route would go through almost the middle of the island which had a river and the giants had pledged to help them get rid of the island eater.

The ship had already started sailing and the two giants were standing at the edge of the shores with their weapons unsheathed.

"I want to see the island eater. Can we eat it?" Luffy asked as he was interested in this huge animal that supposedly ate ships and could even eat islands.

"We don't have space to keep the parts." Ken replied.

"We can keep them in the magical pouch."

"It's already full of food. We don't have that much space." Nami shouted.

The ship soon crossed the island and then they were welcomed by a huge wave, succeeding with huge fish emerging from the depths of the ocean. The fish rose up high and its size was bigger than the giants by at least 2 times.

The fish was of the goldfish species. Ken couldn't understand how a goldfish type fish became so big. But it didn't matter. He had already brought out his Mjolnir and was ready to have a go with this, though he probably wouldn't require it since the giants had decided to help them.

Usopp was trembling a bit but he trusted his giant friends. Everyone had a little surprised face seeing the massive size. They had expected it to be big but they just didn't know how 'big' this could be.

After the island eater emerged, it opened its big mouth to take a bite at their ship, but it couldn't even come close to the ship before the giants used their strongest moves to deliver a hit at the huge body.

This single move of both the giants which was in perfect synchronization hit the mouth of the island eater. It created a hole that was almost double the size of the ship on the mouth of the island eater.

"Hahahah.. These giants are really powerful." Usopp said as he felt relief.

"Of course they are. They had huge bounties on their heads once upon a time."

Luffy was excited a bit and almost wanted to get a piece of the island eater meat but was punched down by Nami. After shouting their goodbye to the two giants the ship again had started sailing. And this time to the next island.

"You see Robin, we didn't need your help after all." Ken said.

"I never doubted that. I just hoped that you could reach Alabasta faster."

"We will. But it is the Captain who decides." Ken just shrugged his shoulders. The ship had sailed for one more day before a small tragedy had struck their crew mate Nami.

She got sick.

"I told you to cover your body, didn't I?" Ken was a bit angry seeing this happen. It was true that the next island would be Chopper's island but that didn't mean that she could get sick.

"Umm.. Nami-san had covered her whole body." Vivi said as she tended to the body of Nami. Ken took a close look on her face and found that she had a small red mark on her cheek.

Murphy's law was in full swing. He brought out the page that he had taken from Crocus and compared the symptoms of Nami to the diseases written on the page. After much comparison, Ken was sure that it was Kestia and started providing her medicines that Crocus had lent him.

Kestia was a disease that would take time for her to recover. And they would have to do without her. Even after giving her medicine she had high fever so he asked the help of Vivi and Robin to see that the ship was navigated properly.
