Giant

"I have to praise you for being able to survive this far against 2 devil fruit users," Miss Valentine had no idea their battle with this little girl would last so long. When she looked sideways, she noticed Mister 5 panting after using a lot of his devil fruit power.

Miss Valentine's attention was drawn away by laughter that sounded as if it wanted to mock them. Uta slowly got up, her body covered in wounds, her bright, stylish clothes now looking very dull due to the dirt mixed with blood dirtying them.

"You monster! how are you still alive?" Mister 5, who was frustrated, then pointed one of his hands at her before something small flickered from it, followed by a powerful explosion that hit Uta's body.

But what surprised the two Baroque Works agents was that Uta was still standing and that one of her raised hands appeared to be covered in thick black ink. She walked slowly through the smoke, her face tired, as if her body could collapse at any moment, but her pride wouldn't let that happen.

-***-

"I've had enough of watching her," I sometimes hate myself for being too indifferent to the people around me, perhaps because I'm not good at expressing my emotions in that way.

I saw Uta fighting with two members of Baroque Works after following her into the forest. I didn't rush out to help her because I was selfishly interested in seeing her grow. But I know I can't stay here much longer because I'm sure other members of Baroque Works are attacking our ship right now.

*thud

Even when I walked behind them, the two members of Baroque Works were unaware of my presence, but when this man named Mister 5 looked back, my fist was ready to hit his face, causing him to bounce several times away.

"Mister 5!... who are you!..."

"How come you remember Uta but not me, Miss Valentine?" Seeing the shock and fear on her face was enough to make me laugh, but I had to help Uta, who looked like she was about to pass out.

"Are you satisfied with expressing all your emotions?" I knew there was something odd about Uta's behavior, which is why I asked the question. Even though she only gave me a cold stare, I didn't hesitate to assist her. I began by supporting her body, but we had only taken a few steps when Mister 5 returned, enraged.

Brat! How dare you attack me from behind!... Bomu Bomu no Mi!" I'm pretty sure I already know how their devil fruit works after watching their fight with Uta.

'What a coincidence, I also wanted to use the true power of my devil fruit at one point.'

I could feel Uta's gaze on me, but I just smiled, which made her relax her body more towards me. The small black object exploded not far from us, surprising Mister 5 and Miss Valentine.

"You are really disgusting, I know that your whole body is a bomb, but can you use other parts besides your boogers to attack?" Yes, that is the attack he employs as a user of the Bomu Bomu no Mi devil fruit. As a result, the thought of his attack hitting me made me frown.

"Impossible! How did you blow it up from that far away!... no, how could you do it without doing anything!" Miss Valentine gritted her teeth and prepared to use her devil fruit while Mister 5 was lost in his confusion, but what I said next stopped her.

"It's useless, if you think your Kiro Kiro no Mi can stop me, you're just wasting your time."

Although the prospect of fighting with them sounded appealing, there was a nagging worry that Captain Hina couldn't keep the ship safe on her own. I'm aware that Makino, Nami, and Nojiko are also present, but they have no prior experience combating devil fruit users.

The deafening sound of a dinosaur echoed as I walked into the forest, carrying Uta without incident. Not just one, but various kinds of dinosaurs that inhabited this forest seemed to be running away in fear of something. Not long after, I felt the earthquake, which was gradually intensifying.

"Luffy, look at that!" I followed Uta's voice and looked up to see a large T-rex charging towards us, but that wasn't what worried me because a much larger creature was chasing behind him. The creature has a humanoid appearance, and its massive hands can be seen catching the poor T-rex.

"Is that a giant? How come this island has giants?" Uta shook her head in disbelief because, according to legend, giants could only be found on the mysterious island of Elbaf, where a kingdom led and inhabited by giants was said to exist.

There are several giants seen outside Elbaf, and they can even be found as marines or pirates, but this is extremely rare, and there are currently two giants that can be easily found on this remote island.

That's right, not one but two, because they appear to be racing to find these dinosaurs, and if they keep running without looking, we'll be crushed to the ground.

"Come on Mister 5, we have to get out of here!" Miss Valentine yelled frantically as she took off into the sky. Meanwhile, before leaving, her partner gave me one last sharp look.

If I wanted to get back to the ship, I'd have to take a detour because the chances of being trampled by them were very high, but all I could do was trust myself and keep moving forward. After seeing my insane decision, Uta struggled away from me, but in the end, we ran between the legs of this giant.

Our presence went completely unnoticed by them, and instead of being offended, I accidentally smiled and said, "Just wait. I will come back to challenge you after I finish solving the problems on the ship."
