One Piece: Who still has dreams?

"crack" "crack"

Redio took out two Poké Balls and released MooMoo and Laboon. A rumble of water surged, and the Black Shine ship swayed in the waves. Laboon happily raised its head and roared twice, while MooMoo beside it seemed a little frightened.

"Eat something, and don't run around or get eaten." Redio spent 4 points of essence to feed them a hearty meal. Laboon blinked, then dove into the sea, leaving behind a large whirlpool that sucked in even the mooing Moo Moo...

A roar like that of an ancient behemoth echoed from within the island.

A strange cry echoed in the sky.

Ace's Observation Haki was not enough to cover the entire island in front of him, but he could already sense many powerful beasts lurking among them.

Gertz looked around and laughed, "This would be perfect for giants to play hunting games!"

Redio smiled, took out four Poké Balls, and threw them over.

"Let's go hunting."

"Want to have a contest?" Zoro asked Ace, holding up a Poké Ball.

"Compare?"

Ace smiled confidently, facing the jungle ahead, holding a Poké Ball in one hand and starting to ignite the other. "Then you're doomed to lose, 1500 euros." He swung his fire fist, and suddenly a three-section staff came around his neck from behind.

“Waaah…” Ace collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

Nami snarled, "Are you going to burn the whole forest down? You're forbidden from using fire abilities here!"

Ace said weakly, "Damn it, they used that despicable weapon again..."

"Goltz, if you see an animal you like, just tell me, and I'll hold the Poké Ball for you."

Nami put away her Wandering Cloud, released the strange bird with a Poké Ball, jumped onto it, smiled at Gertz, patted its broad back, and soared into the sky.

"Let's go," Redio called out, jumping off the ship, with Gertz following behind carrying his giant axe.

"A Devil Fruit user, huh..." Zoro shook his head as he passed by, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"You want a one-on-one fight?" Ace chased after him, annoyed. "Even if you use Armament Haki, I can burn you through!"

"Mere flames? I'll chop them down for you!"

In his excitement, Ace unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, which swept across the surrounding dense forest, causing the sounds of animals collapsing to the ground to echo continuously.

Zoro, carrying his sword, scoffed, "This kind of Conqueror's Haki is only good for bullying small animals, what's the big deal!"

Ace laughed and said, "You only say that because you don't."

"Hmph! It's a contest of who can find the biggest beast to keep as a pet, not a contest of who's the most domineering."

Zoro turned away with a dark expression, muttering under his breath, "Damn! Yeah, Conqueror's Haki is really cool!"

As he walked, he suddenly looked up and saw a four- or five-meter-tall, striped tiger blocking his path. He smiled slightly and drew his knife.

Ace, hands in his pockets, followed the scents he detected with his Observation Haki, searching one by one along the way. A giant crocodile? No fun, he kicked it away. A strange snail as tall as a man? A bit disgusting, Ace dodged it. A pterosaur? There was already a bald, monstrous bird on the ship, no need. Ace flicked his finger and fired a fireball, blasting it away…

"Huh? A mole?"

Ace stopped and looked at a fat body in the woods, frantically digging a hole. Hearing his voice, the fat figure looked up and was revealed to be a fat woman with an afro.

"boom……"

A huge explosion erupted in the woods below.

Nami, riding the strange bird through the air, sighed upon seeing this, knowing that Ace wouldn't listen to her.

She took out her sketchbook and stood on the back of the strange bird high in the sky.

The heavens and the tyrant endowed her with exceptional senses. As long as she concentrates, her gaze can reach extremely far. The movement of air, changes in air pressure and density, even the magnetic field of the island and the direction of the surrounding ocean currents... all the details appear before her eyes.

Nami recorded the topography of the island she saw, including the marine conditions of the surrounding waters.

In the center of the island are several active volcanoes. Two astonishingly large animal skeletons lie side by side on the island… This arrangement doesn't seem to be naturally formed; could it be man-made?

"Boom!"

Suddenly, while Nami was recording from high above, one of the volcanoes erupted with flames amidst violent tremors, causing the earth to shake violently.

Shall we begin?

Redio stomped a Tyrannosaurus Rex the size of a house under his feet and heard the sound of a volcanic eruption, knowing that the two giants on the island took it as a signal for a duel.

They will fight to the death whenever the volcano erupts.

This happens every time, every day.

They come from Elbaf, and have been dueling on this island for nearly 100 years, risking their warriors' honor.

"I think I heard weapons clashing..."

Goltz looked into the depths of the island and exclaimed in surprise, "A weapon that can make such a loud noise, could it be from the giants?"

“Let’s go, let’s go take a look.” Redio leaped into the air, and Gertz caught him with his outstretched hand. Smiling, he strode forward, rushing towards the source of the loud clang of clashing weapons.

when!

when!

boom!

Two towering giants, each twenty meters tall, one with a beard several meters long, wielding a greatsword in one hand and a round shield in the other, the other with a full beard, also wielding a round shield in one hand and a single-edged giant axe in the other, charged at each other like bulls, repeatedly unleashing attacks aimed at vital points.

Thump! Both of them raised their shields in time to block the other's attack, and exchanged a knowing smile with gleaming eyes.

Redio's Observation Haki allowed him to determine that these two were truly aiming to kill each other; their life-or-death duel was no joke.

The two giants collided, creating a fierce wind and shockwaves that bent the surrounding low-lying trees like wheat fields.

When Gertz saw them, he was taken aback: "The leader of the Eastli, the leader of the Brogy?!"

"Ok?"

The two giants dressed as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei turned their heads and were also surprised. "A little girl from the giant race? Gaa baa baa/hehehehehe, are you from Elbaf?"

"I..." Before Gertz could answer, the two giants opposite her roared and attacked her together: "No need to hesitate! You'll know once you try! Come on, little girl—the Spear of Elbaf!"

Without hesitation, Gertz drew his double-bladed great axe from his back, his arm muscles bulging, and swung it with all his might, unleashing the same combat technique: "€€€€威国!!"

state!!!!

The three shockwaves collided at close range, creating a deafening roar like thunder exploding in the low sky... leaving Redd's head buzzing.

He shook his head, then suddenly looked back and saw a wave of orange-red fire burst through the woods, blasting out two charred figures.

Snap, snap... The mole-like fat woman and the tall fat man carrying a huge cannon barrel rolled steaming in front of Redio.

Redio laughed and nudged them: "Speak up, you all have at least two things to say."

People in the One Piece world are indeed incredibly resilient. After being blasted here by Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit, these two were able to catch their breath and get back up.

They looked up and saw three towering giants.

They looked in front of them at a super rookie with a bounty of 1 million Berries... who was also the person their boss had assigned them to challenge.

"..."

Mr. 4 and Miss. Merry Christmas exchanged glances, just as they were about to steel themselves and make things clear, when Redio suddenly looked up...

A streak of seven-colored oil paint swept across the sky, as if an invisible hand had drawn a rainbow bridge in the air.

"Oh?" Donley saw that his good brother Brogy had two horns on his head, was completely black, and had huge wings spread out on his back... Was this a Thunder Dragon?

"Hmm?" In Brogy's eyes, Dorry had transformed into... Nika, the sun god, who was entirely white with a snow-white beard.

"Huh?" Gertz was surprised to see that his muscles were bulging even more, and that his body was wrapped in a gray-white reverse domineering aura like air currents.

"Huh?" Redio felt his hair turn white, his eyes turn blue, new arms grow under his armpits, and it seemed like he had an extra mouth on his stomach. Not only that, he also felt like he could control the blood in his body...

"what?"

Ace and Zoro emerged from opposite sides of the woods. Ace wore a pirate captain's coat similar to Roger's, with a long, curved mustache and a long sword at his waist; while Zoro rode a huge, striped tiger, wearing a monastic robe similar to Koushirou's, his eyes now sharp as an eagle's, and all three of his swords had turned black...

On the other side of the woods, one after another emerged: Mr. 1, wearing a mask and a cloak; Miss Twofinger, dressed casually and carrying a coffee pot; Mr. 2, whose swan-shaped ballet shoes remained unchanged; and the "Demon Child," now sporting long white hair and bearing an even stronger resemblance to Olvia...

"Boom!!!"

A gigantic 20-meter-tall "robot" made of candlelight descended from the sky. Mr. 3, with a "3" on his head, laughed heartily, pointed at Redio, and shouted, "Accept the challenge! 'The Cursed One'! Now it's €€€€!"

Just then, a strange bird swooped down from the sky, heading straight for him. Nami leaped high into the sunlight and delivered a flying kick, sending this 20-meter-tall candle-armored giant flying...

……

"A 'small garden'?"

On a warship, Colonel Tina, dressed in a burgundy suit and wearing a white coat of justice, was puzzled when her adjutant reported on the new developments.

She held a cigarette in her mouth, peering out at the sea through binoculars. "What are they doing on that island?"
