Chapter eleven – of feuding giants
With Nami and Usopp
'Do you have any rum?' the huge shadow beckoned down while lowering itself, no longer just a shadow, but a giant, over 100 foot tall, wearing a large blue cape, had a large blonde beard and a two spiked helmet.
'Y-yes we… we do have some' Nami managed to stutter back.
'AAARGH!' the giant roared right in front of Nami and Usopp's face scaring them and bringing tears cascading down their faces before they realised that the reason that the giant had yelled out was that there was a dinosaur trying to take a healthy portion out of his backside.
Spinning round, the giant pulled a previously un-noticed giant axe out and with one fell swoop decapitated the huge rex.
'I AM THE STRONGEST FIGHTER OF ELBAF! BROGY THE GREAT! HAHA HAHA!'
'I have some meat now, I will treat you to a meal as my guests' the giant now identified as Brogy called down to Nami and Usopp, who were currently pretending to be dead so that they would be left alone.
With Luffy, Vivi and Carue
'Wow what a view, you should come up here Vivi!' Luffy called down.
'No thanks! You should get down too! We don't know anything about these dinosaurs!'
'Don't worry Vivi! This guy only eats vegetables…. I think' just as he was finishing his sentence the dinosaur flicked his head up, sending Luffy flying into the air and just as the dinosaur was about to swallow Luffy, its head separated from its neck in a perfectly straight and clean cut.
As Luffy was plummeting to the ground (laughing all the way) a giant hand reached out and caught him.
'HAHA HAHA WHAT A CHEERFUL HUMAN YOU ARE! I HAVEN'T MET A PERSON LIKE YOU FOR A WHILE! HAHA I AM DORRY! THE GREATEST FIGHTER OF ELBAF!' boomed the newly appointed Dorry while bringing Luffy up to eye level giving him the opportunity to take in his appearance.
Like all fully grown giants he was over 100 foot tall, had a brown beard that went down to his waist, a large purple cape and a golden helmet that also partially wrapped around his eyes. A large shield was strapped to the arm he was holding Luffy with while the other held a blade that had to be at least 80 foot long.
'Wow a giant! It's my first time seeing one! You're huge! Ha-ha' Luffy called out in childish glee.
'I would like to ask you to come to my house he called down to Vivi showing that he had seen her to.
With Nami, Usopp at Brogy's 'house'
'The meat is cooked! Please eat' Brogy called down cheerfully.
'ummm… we-we're not hungry…thank you' Nami cautiously answered 'oh my god, there's a pile of skulls over there' Nami thought to herself as she got Usopp's attention and indicated what she had seen, making Usopp's face pale.
'Mr Brogy, can I ask you something?' Nami tentatively asked.
'What is it?'
'How long does it take to memorize the frequency of this island?'
'ONE YEAR!' he called back causing Nami and Usopp to fall backwards off the log they had been sitting on 'please make yourselves at home!'
With Luffy, Vivi and Carue at Dorry's 'house'
'This meat is really good Mr Giant' called out Luffy while munching on a piece of meat that would feed a normal person for a month.
'Ha-Ha your lunch box is pretty good as well! But way too small for me!'
'By the way, why are you alone? Don't you have a home village to go to?' Luffy asked.
'I have a village, its called Elbaf!' the giant answered, voice full of pride. 'its somewhere in the grand line, but we have a rule in our village, if a fight occurs in our village and no one apologises, we listen to the god of Elbaf, because Elbaf is always right he will give the life for the righteous person, I am awaiting for the result, on this island I am fighting another giant by the name of Brogy, we fight in a fight to the death where the winner gets to live, and gets the eternal post that points to Elbaf so that they can return home… its been 100 years now!'
'YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR 100 YEARS?!' Luffy yelled out.
'Don't worry about it. Ha-ha. A giants life span is three times greater than a humans, I'm still in my prime!'
As the Volcano in the centre of the island erupted Dorry pulled himself up and picked up his giant blade.
'I have to go now. The volcano erupting is the sign to start the fight' Dorry explained.
'WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS FIGHT ANYWAY!' Vivi yelled out before Luffy clamped his hand over her mouth.
'The purpose is PRIDE!' Dorry yelled out as another giant charged through the trees. 'We've both already forgotten what started this fight' he finished with a smile.
----------
'I long for our old home Dorry' called out Brogy as he swung his mighty axe.
'So do I Brogy! And after I beat you I will return there in glory!'
----------
As Brogy and Dorry continued their fight Nami and Usopp watched on.
'Come on Usopp lets get out of here while we have the chance'
'No, I'm going to stay and watch' Usopp called back shocking Nami 'This is it! These are the great warriors of the sea that ive been looking for, this is the kind of proud warrior I want to become! If these warriors have a village I would love to see it someday'
----------
With two mighty swings of their respective weapons a resounding boom erupted as their weapons were sent flying from their hands, instead of picking them up they carried on the fight, using their massive shields to punch with as the volcano stopped its eruption signalling the end of the fight.
'73,466 fights' Brogy called out while falling on his back.
'73,466 ties' Dorry finished.
'Dorry! Guess what! I got some rum from my guests!'
'Very nice! I haven't had a drink in a long time! Give me some!!'
---------
After the fight was over the straw hats went back with their respective giants to their homes.
'By the way, Dorry, when you mentioned that the log pose takes a year to set… is that true?' Vivi asked.
'Yes that's true, you see all of these human bones around here? Most of them end up dying before the log sets, some from the dinosaurs, some from the heat and others from starvation, and some are stupid enough to try and attack us!.... I guess one year on this island is just too long for most humans… but who knows? Maybe you will make it!'
As Dorry drank from the barrel of rum that Brogy had given him it suddenly exploded within him, sending him crashing to the ground and causing massive damage.
'It exploded from inside his stomach! How horrible… did that other giant put gunpowder in the rum he gave him?' Vivi questioned, immediately regretting it as Luffy jumped in front of her yelling.
'WOULD TWO GUYS FIGHTING FOR 100 YEARS STOOP TO USING SUCH A DIRTY TRICK?!'
'NO' a voice boomed out from behind them 'Brogy would never have done that! It must have been…. YOU!'
Just as Luffy was getting ready to fight the volcano erupted again signalling the next fight, and even with his massive internal injuries he dragged himself off to the fight area. Despite Vivi and Luffy's protests.
---------
As Nami and Usopp were running through the forest, Nami was drawn to Luffy who was next to a tree, but when she got within a few metres of him she realised it was just a statue and then everything went black.
---------
As Zoro was dragging a several tonne triceratops through the forest trying to find his way back to the ship he ran into Nami who was leaning against a tree.
'Ah good Nami! I was lost, can you lead me back to the ship? Nami?' Zoro asked before everything went dark.
---------
'Dorry, how was the rum I gave you? You really enjoyed it right'
'That's right! It was very tasty!'

I am posting this chapter like this, in its incomplete form to show just how I reached my conclusion to stop this story, if you compare this to the manga you would find so few changes, it makes me quite disappointed.
