Chapter 218: Take a Strike of My Staff!

As Saru’s words fell.

The atmosphere on the scene became silent instantly.

BOOM!

ROAR!

Inside the entire Little Garden, only the roaring sound of volcano eruption and panicked roars of those huge ancient dinosaurs around due to the eruption remained.

Because now, Straw Hat crew members could realize the meaning of Saru’s words.

He wanted to challenge these two powerful giants alone.

And one must know.

Since arriving at Little Garden, the Straw Hat crew had witnessed the battle of these two giants personally.

To be blunt.

As former captains of the legendary Giant pirate crew ’Giant Warrior Pirates’, the power possessed by either of these two was already at an incomprehensible level for the current Straw Hats.

And they couldn’t imagine.

What kind of person could deal with both of them simultaneously alone.

“Hey hey, you’re joking, right—even The Zodiac…”

Especially Usopp, who admired the two giants most, said somewhat incredulously now.

He naturally heard of The Zodiac’s power and saw their great achievements in newspapers.

But ultimately—hearing and seeing personally were completely different concepts.

“Challenging Master Dorry and Master Brogy simultaneously, how is that possible…”

But he only said half a sentence.

“Usopp!” (x3)

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji’s low voices interrupted him.

“Quiet!” (x3)

Their voices carried rare seriousness.

As the three main forces of the Straw Hat Pirates, they clearly sensed something now.

“Eh!?”

So, Usopp’s words stuck in his throat instantly, looking at partners somewhat puzzledly.

But before he could ask.

Next moment…

VMMM!

He saw Saru’s footsteps move.

He raised his right foot slowly, then took a step.

That was just a seemingly ordinary step.

But at the same time this step landed…

BOOM!

An indescribably huge pressure erupted abruptly at this moment.

Usopp found it hard to describe that feeling—he felt his body and mind instantly become a small boat on the sea, pushed by a huge tsunami.

He could feel that huge ’Tsunami’ seemed to be trying hard to control not to hurt him.

But his consciousness was still almost unable to think at this moment, and his body flew back uncontrollably!

THUD!

Until his body landed, his consciousness seemed to wake up from that brief haze.

At the same time, Usopp scanned around, then found not just him—Luffy, Nami, Brook, Zoro, and Sanji were all blown away by that aura for quite a distance, falling on the ground now.

“Ouch ouch ouch… what is it? Felt like fainting for a moment just now… whoa! What’s with this bug!?”

Nami was rubbing her leg, taking a bug off her smooth leg casually.

“Yohohoho! Let me help you, Miss Nami!”

“Everyone…”

Usopp propped himself up dizzily, before he could speak.

THUMP!

THUMP!

THUMP!

He heard the sound of earth trembling.

He looked in the direction of the vibration instinctively.

Then he saw.

Now, those dinosaurs roaring anxiously due to the volcano eruption on the entire island just now… fell down one after another now.

One, two, ten, hundred—where Usopp could see, those prehistoric behemoths that took them much effort to deal with one, didn’t even have one standing moments later.

“Gulp…”

So, Usopp swallowed instinctively.

“Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, look quickly…”

He instinctively wanted the three best fighters in the group to pay attention to the surrounding scene.

Then he found.

Now, Luffy and the other two actually stood up long ago.

However, none of them paid attention to Usopp.

And Luffy actually put down the roasted dinosaur meat he was still holding, looking solemnly not far away.

“Hey, Sanji, Zoro… that wasn’t an attack just now, right?”

He asked.

“Yeah.”

Sanji smoked silently. “Not an attack, no malice either—goal should be to keep us away from the battlefield… this is a ’Letter of Challenge’.”

He pointed out the meaning represented by the power of that moment.

Not an attack—although the aura of that instant made all dinosaurs on the island fall.

That was just a letter of challenge.

“Achieved this just with aura? Completely incomprehensible.”

Zoro clenched his hilt tightly. “Truly a monster like that Inoshishi (Boar).”

The three said so.

But Usopp saw the same thing from their expressions.

Besides wariness, solemnity, seriousness, and shock.

In their eyes, there was also—excitement.

In this instant, Usopp suddenly realized the gap between himself and his partners.

Like sailors facing monstrous waves.

Weak and timid sailors would cower in fear.

But truly excellent sailors would marvel while controlling the mast.

“Look—even such a scene appears, how vast and interesting the sea is!”

“…”

So, Usopp pursed his lips.

He yearned for powerful sea warriors and went to sea for this.

He admired the two giants’ bravery and courage as warriors, calling them masters.

So now, he didn’t want to be that coward.

He forced his gaze, looking in the direction his three partners looked.

That was the place of the banquet before.

But now… that was a ’Battlefield’.

There, Saru’s thin figure still stood in place, posture not changing much.

Before him stood Dorry and Brogy, towering like mountains.

The two strongest warriors of the Giant race, under the pressure sweeping the entire Little Garden just now, although their bodies still rooted firmly in place like rocks!

Unprecedented solemnity appeared on their huge faces.

“GABABABA… truly didn’t expect, haven’t felt this level of Conqueror’s Haki for over a hundred years.”

“GEGYAGYAGYA… looks like we can’t treat your words just now as casual nonsense.”

The two giants’ voices were low like thunder.

But the fighting spirit within burned like fire.

As mentioned before.

They were captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates.

And the Giant Warrior Pirates were legends of Giants and symbols of warriors.

Being captains was proof enough of their strength.

As powerful warriors, although seemingly rough—they were naturally proud inside.

So regarding Saru’s challenge, they originally didn’t plan to accept.

But now the situation was different.

The spirit Saru displayed was enough to prove his power—he wasn’t a fool challenging rashly out of ignorance, but…

“The Zodiac, Saru—a rare powerhouse.”

“We received your challenge letter.”

Brogy gripped the huge axe tightly; veins popped up.

“According to tradition, I will ask.”

“Under the witness of the God of Elbaf, the winner of this battle will win glory.”

Dorry held the huge sword, knuckles slightly white.

Yes.

No need for extra words, nor discussion.

The two giants accepted Saru’s challenge.

This was inevitable—because so-called ’Warriors’ were ’People who welcome all challenges’.

Before them…

Crack.

Saru cracked his knuckles, twisted his neck. “Of course.”

He smiled.

“Come.”

Voice not yet fallen.

BOOM! (x2)

The shriek tearing the air rang out.

Now, Dorry and Brogy’s figures burst with terrifying speed completely unsuited to their size.

“Bruiser Axe · Mountain Crusher!”

“Terry Sword · Star Splitter!”

One left and one right, holding huge axe and huge sword carrying majestic power, smashing brazenly toward the tiny figure below.

BOOM!

The ground cracked instantly under that violent power; huge airflow ground surrounding residual boulders and trees into powder instantly.

“Here it comes!”

Amidst the howling gale, Usopp barely extended his hand to block the gale, clenching his fist instinctively.

This is it.

“Master Brogy and Master Dorry’s attack!”

The power possessed by those two Giant powerhouses, seemingly enough to split mountains and seas with a casual blow, was exactly what he admired.

But just the next moment, Usopp’s expression froze.

Because now, he clearly saw an incredible scene that almost made his jaw drop to the ground.

In the center of that battlefield.

The figure wearing a monkey mask didn’t dodge at this moment.

Precisely, he didn’t even move.

He just raised both hands at the center of the two giants’ combined attack.

Click! Click!

Crisp sounds came—that was the sound of palms colliding with sword edge and axe edge.

Yes.

Saru didn’t dodge, but grabbed the huge sword edge and axe edge with his hands.

His posture was completely different from the casual appearance before.

“Big guys, strength is indeed not small.”

He grinned—that extremely intense fighting spirit, seemingly burning, wasn’t hidden.

“Try my strength too!”

As words fell, Saru didn’t wait for the two giants to recover from astonishment.

His hands exerted force abruptly.

“Hm!?” (x2)

So, the giants only felt incomprehensible terrifying power coming from the other end of their weapons at this moment.

The next instant.

That extremely tiny figure pulled the two towering giants directly off the ground, and amidst Straw Hats’ exclamations, threw the two… away!

RUMBLE!

Accompanying huge sonic booms, the earth was plowed into two bottomless gullies by the two giants; trees and boulders along the way collapsed completely.

Amidst huge dust, the two giants struggled seeming to stand up.

But…

Whoosh!

Now, Saru’s figure leaped up.

“Kintoun (Somersault Cloud)!”

He shouted low.

Next moment, that golden cloud flew down from the sky abruptly.

Saru landed on the cloud but didn’t pursue.

He just looked at the distant two giants from afar, then…

VMMM!

He raised his hand lightly, making a grasping motion at his ear.

Next moment, an iron staff with two golden ends and a pitch-black body appeared in his hand instantly.

“Fighting with strong men today, you come in handy.”

He laughed loudly raising the staff, saying so.

VMMM!

Straw Hats below saw clearly—that staff trembled distinctly at this moment, as if responding to his words.

“Good! Relieve your craving then!”

So, Saru raised the long staff high.

“Grow! Grow! Grow!”

“Big! Big! Big!”

His words fell.

Then…

VMMM!

The iron rod grew with the wind.

VMMM! VMMM! VMMM!

In an instant, one end of that iron staff transformed into a giant staff almost shielding the entire sky, huge as a mountain like the Giants.

And on that staff body, wrapped pitch-black Haki and black-red lightning tore the clouds in the sky directly in an instant.

Then…

“Take a strike of my staff!”

Accompanying Saru’s loud laughter, that giant staff carrying terrifying might smashed down brazenly toward the direction where the two giants fell!
