Yup... I'll do that...

Luffy and his crew stayed on Little Garden Island for several days longer. Even though their friends were being held captive by the Marines, Miss Valentine and Mister 5 had no intention of rescuing them. Their whereabouts were no longer found on the island. Luffy assumed they had returned to Arabasta, so he concentrated on his main goal here.

He had a difficult time getting to know the two giants, but after he and his crew helped them hunt dinosaurs, their nature softened, and they even had a small party where they drank sake until the evening.

Dorry, a giant with a well-built and very long beard, appears calmer than his friend. Brogy appears the polar opposite. With his fat belly, blond beard shaped like an axe's blade, beady eyes, a wide grin, and pig-like nose, he finds it easier to express what's on his mind.

They are commonly known as Dorry the Blue Ogre and Brogy the Red Ogre, but many people have forgotten their legend and believe the two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates are no longer alive. But who would have guessed they would spend a hundred years in Little Garden because of petty competition?

Luffy wasted no time and immediately expressed his desire to fight with them, even though his crew was opposed. In the end, they could only watch from the sidelines as Luffy began fighting with Dorry first.

To begin, he attempted to withstand the giant's attack, but the results were clear from their body size. Luffy was immediately sent flying to the end of the island, fortunately without serious injury. He then switched tactics, launching the most powerful attack he could muster against the giant.

Dorry was surprised to feel pain in his stomach and a strong push that caused him to fall on his butt, but while leaning on his sword, he got back up, and their fight continued.

Luffy said something crazy in the middle when he challenged Brogy to a fight. The giant, nicknamed the Red Ogre, initially refused because it was against a giant's honor, but provocation after provocation agitated his little heart.

A fight ensued between two giants and one human, and the area around them became a shambles as many plants and dinosaurs became victims.

The soil topography changes dramatically every time the two giant bodies collide. Unlike Dorry, who wields a sword, Brogy is better suited to wielding an axe. They swung their weapons at Luffy's small body with ease. Most of their attacks missed and instead struck each other, causing a commotion between the two giants.

When Luffy casually invites Captain Hina, Uta, Makino, and Nojiko to their fight, things heat up even more. If any pirates came to Little Garden at this time, they would be perplexed as to what was going on, but judging by the smiles and fighting spirit on each of their faces, they seemed to be having a good time.

The fight in Little Garden became a free-for-all when night fell, and after ending their long day with a party, Luffy and his crew returned to the ship and left, leaving the two sleeping giants.

When their ship left the island, a massive creature appeared from the sea's surface. At first, they thought it was a sea monster, but after seeing its shape, which was almost identical to that of a goldfish, they were hesitant to kill it.

Until the creature suddenly opened its massive mouth, which resembled an island. Their ship was sucked into a whirlpool, which slowly dragged them into the monster's mouth. Each of them tried desperately to prevent this by attacking, and another battle ensued. Luffy and his crew are currently battling a Goldfish monster the size of an island.

"They're completely insane! I never thought I'd sail on the same ship as those people," I said as I emerged from the hollow tree trunk, brushing away the leaves and dust that had stained my clothes. When my feet touched the ground, my entire body, which had been sore from hiding for so long, made a soothing cracking sound.

I decided to hide first in this spacious Little Garden after taking advantage of the attack carried out by Baroque Works members, hoping they would leave soon. I wasn't worried they'd lose, so I didn't feel bad about fleeing.

"Why does Nojiko have to be so obstinate?" She decided to stay with Luffy, which surprised me," and I'm still confused about her, which makes me sad because I feel alone. I should have realized it after noticing her strange behavior recently.

"I expected them to be looking for me, but they seemed to be having fun with the two giants," I could see the two giants who inhabited this island fighting in the distance. They had not stopped swinging their weapons despite the oppressive heat of the sun, and their enthusiastic voices could be heard and felt, vibrating the air that spread throughout the island.

"What should I do now that they're all gone?..." To be honest, I didn't have a solid plan, but I didn't want to admit that my fleeing was purely impulsive.

I couldn't just return to Cocoyasi village...

"Sailing the Grand Line is an interesting idea, but I don't have a ship... how am I going to get to the next island?..." I sighed as I moved my gaze to a large bag lying beneath the tree.

I wasn't stupid enough not to bring the necessities for survival, but aside from money and Log Pose, I didn't bring anything else significant. The majority of what caused the bags to expand so much was the money and gold I took from them.

"hmph! I'm not going to give up... now that I'm free of the demon's clutches, I'll do whatever I want... but for now, I'll sit casually on the beach, hoping for a passing ship to bait."

"Yup... I'll do that..."
