Chapter 260: Getting over a giant

When the Strawhats were approaching the mount where the royal castle was located, a giant figure made of rock emerged from it and blocked their pass.

Everyone stared in awe at the imposing figure of Pica looming over the city.

"Ahhh, a giant!"

"He is huge!"

Many people lost the will to keep fighting after seeing this giant made of stone. 

"I'll kill those who dare oppose our family!" Pica shouted.

"What?!, did you guys hear that? His voice is so high-pitched! It doesn't fit him at all, shishishi!" Luffy started to laugh.

"Strawhat stop!" Exclaimed Viola.

"Pica hates that, he gets enraged when someone mocks his voice." She added.

"Strawhat!" Pica looked down with an angry expression.

"I'll kill you!"

Pica placed his left hand on the ground for support and lifted his right fist in the air.

"Everyone, run!"

"He is going to crush us!"

Everyone in the vicinity ran away from Luffy and his companions.

Pica was about to bring his fist down, hoping to get Luffy and at least a few of the Strawhats who were close to him.

But then he felt something looming over him and most of the sunlight was blocked.

Pica decided to look behind him.

"That's…huge…" 

His eyes were wide open as he stared at the two-mile-high figure of Vivi.

The Strawhats, along with the people of Dressrosa notice his odd reaction and look too into the distance.

"What is that?"

"I think there is something there."

From their position, it was impossible to tell what it was. They could only see something immense blocking the sun behind the figure of Pica.

"Let us use this chance to climb on top of him, then we can jump onto the castle." Suggested Sanji.

"Shouldn't you take him to a doctor first?" Rebeca pointed at Usopp, who was being carried by Sanji.

"Ugg…." Usopp groaned.

"He is fine. This one is tougher than he looks." Sanji assured her.

"And our doctor is currently waiting our ship."

"I am a doctor." Said Law before looking briefly at Usopp.

"He is fine, let's go."

Usopp groaned again.

"You guys go ahead…I have, something else to do." Said Buggy.

"Why were you still with us anyway?" asked Zoro.

"Where am I supposed to go?!, the entire city is at war and now we are trapped inside this bird cage or whatever is called." Complained the clown

"And where are you planning on going then?" Asked Robin.

"You were planning on hiding, right?"

"Of course!, why would I want to fight a Shichibukai and his crew for?!. This has nothing to do with me. I just wanted to make some money, buy a ship, and get out of here." said the clown.

"If you don't want to come with us, that's fine. Good luck to you. Let's go!" Luffy jumped onto the stone hand and ran up.

The rest of the group followed him, not wanting to waste more time with that person.

"Tsk!, that's right. The great Buggy doesn't need you or anyone else. I'll take care of myself from now on!" Buggy grumbled.

"Hey look!, is the clown from the Strawhats!" a dangerous-looking man with an axe pointed at Buggy.

"I bet Doflamingo will give us something for his head." Another one said.

"Get him!" A large group of people started to run towards him.

Buggy looked at them with a worried expression. He then moved.his eyes the rocky hand they used to climb.

"Hold on, wait for me! I changed my mind! " Buggy 

tried to get on, but it was too late. 

Pica had noticed the Strawhats climbing over his stone body and started to move again.

"Damn it!" Screamed Buggy with despair. He was going to need another way.

"Get off!" Pica lifted his right palm and brought it down upon the Strawhats, like trying to swat a fly.

"Gomu gomu no….elephant guns!" Luffy's giant fists impacted against the stone palm, destroying it into pieces. 

The giant groaned.

"How does this guy work? is he completely made of rock?" Asked Sanji.

"No. He is not a logia user but a paramecia one. His fruit allows him to merge with anything made of stone. But his real body must be somewhere inside this rock giant. If we can find it, he will be as vulnerable as any normal person." explained Law.

"Leave this one to me. Go to the castle." Said Zoro while unsheating his swords.

"If we reach his head, we can probably jump onto the castle from there!." Said Sanji.

"I won't let you!" shouted Pica, his voice got even more high pitched now, due to the distress of having to reform his arm.

"Shishishi, stop it,!, now isn't the time to make us laugh!" Complained Luffy.

"He is not trying to…he always talks like that." Said Viola.

Pica roared with rage..his broken arm reformed and attacked them once more.

"Luffy , stop pissing him off!" exclaimed Sanji.

Using a single sword, Zoro made a smooth downward motion that cut the arm in half.

"Go already!" 

The Strawhats, along with the Riku royal family got on top of Pica's head and jumped off.

"Fussen!" Luffy turned onto a ballon.

"Grab my legs!"

The King, Rebeca, and Kyros did as told and held on for their lives.

Sanji jumped while carrying Usopp and Viola.

Robin grew a pair of wings and helped Law, who was also injured.

While in the air, they were now able to get a perfect view of the giant figure they couldn't see before.

The image of Vivi, towering over the island became very bright as her attack impacted Kizaru's.

The Strawhats made it just in time to be witness to the last moments of her fight with the light Admiral.

"Ehhh?!, Vivi?!" They all exclaimed together.
