"Giant Gun!!!"
Two identical shouts rang out one after the other, followed immediately by a sight that blotted out the sky.
"What is that?!"
"Giant Tribe??!!"
"No… even if it's the Giant Tribe, that kind of fist is way too exaggerated!!"
"You've got to be kidding!!! We're dead for sure!!!"
If the rubber giant fist that Luffy blew up was large enough to rival that of the Giant Tribe, then the "giant fist" blown up by Sadgeo, this "pseudo–Joy Boy," was truly the size of a small island.
When he raised that enormous fist, the shadow it cast completely engulfed Area 46 of the Sabaody Archipelago.
The pirates who had been gathered by the fake Luffy—at first, when they saw Luffy's real self, their faces twitched and their bodies trembled, but now, upon seeing Sadgeo's gigantic fist, their eyes bulged out, tears and snot spraying everywhere!!!
"We're going to die!!!!"
Not to mention that in the very next second, after Luffy coated his giant fist with Armament Haki, Sadgeo also bared his teeth in a grin.
"Hey!!! Armament Haki isn't something only you knockoff know how to use!!!"
In the next instant, a massive surge of pitch-black Armament Haki erupted outward, completely wrapping the fist as large as a small island.
The civilians and pirates below panicked even more!!!
"This is bad…"
Facing an attack that looked like it could end the world, the three main fighters were extremely wary. Dragging his Armament Haki Giant Gun, Luffy charged straight toward that colossal fist.
"Hey!!! Luffy!!!"
Seeing this, Zoro's one remaining pupil shrank sharply. In an instant, his eyes filled with ferocity as the power of Haki poured outward.
All three swords were drawn at once. Zoro bent his knees into a crouch, and the ground around him exploded apart.
"Curly-brow, looks like we've got no choice but to go all out!!!"
"Tch… why do we have to fight a monster like this?!"
Even though he didn't understand why they had to fight, it was obvious that not fighting wasn't an option—otherwise, they'd be buried along with Area 46 of the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Diable Jambe—!!!"
With a light tap of his toes, flames instantly wrapped around Sanji's lower leg as he used Geppo to dash into the sky.
And Zoro?
He slightly lowered himself into a crouch, then thick Haki wrapped around all three blades as he continued to charge power, using recoil to shoot rapidly into the air.
The three black blades spun continuously.
"Three-Sword Style Secret Technique…"
"That's enough."
Just as the few of them were about to collide head-on, when everyone in Area 46 of the Sabaody Archipelago—and even those in the surrounding areas—had already fallen into despair, a voice suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
A figure appeared in an instant beneath the rubber giant fist.
It was a man wearing a black trench coat, standing there in midair with his hands behind his back.
With one hand loosely clenched, the world seemed to fall into a standstill.
"W-We're… saved?!"
"That figure—could it be the owner of the Sabaody Archipelago?!"
"That legendary person…"
Black hair danced in the wind as Orin gently waved his hand.
The four imposing figures vanished from midair in an instant, then reappeared on the ground, rolling several times before finally scrambling to their feet in embarrassment.
"Orin-san…"
"Orin…"
"Father…"
The three main fighters reacted instantly. The moment they saw Orin, their scalps tingled as they assumed combat stances.
Only Sadgeo calmly picked up his straw hat, somewhat helplessly dusted off the dirt on it, then looked at the three tiny figures with an expression as if staring at idiots.
"Are you all morons?"
"No matter how arrogant someone is, no one would be naive enough to think they could be a match for Dad, right?"
At this moment, Orin took a light step and instantly appeared in front of them.
In his hand, he held a black spear.
When Sadgeo saw that black spear, his face stiffened as if he were looking at something terrifying.
"Hey, you brats—no matter the reason you want to fight, I won't interfere, but don't sink the Sabaody Archipelago."
"Go where you're supposed to go. Head to the New World."
Orin waved his hand at them.
Luffy and the other two vanished in an instant, reappearing aboard the Thousand Sunny.
As for Sadgeo, he held down his straw hat and bared his teeth in a grin.
"Hehehe… got it. I was planning to set sail today anyway. Didn't expect to run into the Navy."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be heading out first."
"Later, Dad!!!"
The old Keek, who had rushed over after hearing the news, happened to hear this shout.
In an instant, his entire body jolted with energy!!!
"Dad?"
"Orin's kid, that brat's son?!"
However, the short, small old man looked at the departing giant, his pupils trembling slightly.
It wasn't that he was afraid of the Giant Tribe or anything like that.
The main issue was…
Although Orin was tall, he was only a little over three meters.
His son's height was even more exaggerated than that of the Giant Tribe—didn't that mean the boy's mother had to be at least a giant?
This made him recall a topic they had chatted about casually while training with Rayleigh some time ago.
...
"Roger's Pirate Crew has already disbanded. Keek, your resentment should have eased up a bit by now, right?"
Because Keek was often unfriendly toward him, Rayleigh said helplessly.
"Hmph…"
In truth, over these years, the resentment in old Keek's heart had mostly faded. After all, Orin really had received quite a bit of care from them.
"Roger is already dead. You're often at the Sabaody Archipelago—what about Gaban? I remember he was one of the three strongest men in your pirate crew…"
"Gaban, huh~"
A look of nostalgia appeared on Rayleigh's face as well.
"He's in the Land of Giants, Elbaf now. I heard Orin mention it before—he married a female giant and even had a Giant Tribe child~ hahahahahaha!!!"
"What?!"
"A giant?!"
Back then, Keek had been shocked for many days.
After all, back when he was in the Rocks Pirates, he knew that the trio all liked Shakky. He himself also thought she looked good, but not to the point of obsession.
And now? Rayleigh was together with Shakky, and Gaban had found a female giant…
The people of Roger's Pirate Crew were truly impressive… in a certain sense, the Rocks Pirates had lost once again.
But what caught his attention even more now was Orin's lifelong matter.
Could it be that Orin had gone to find Gaban before, and learned something over in Elbaf?
"Uh…"
Old Keek swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Brat… did you really have a child with a giant? Is that Sadgeo my great-grandson?"
"…No."
...
Happy New Year! Wishing you health, happiness, and new opportunities ahead
