NOVEL NEXT Chapter 74: CH 74
"There." Brogy said after placing a giant hunk of meat in front of Usopp, Nami, Valerie, Gin, Johnny, Yosaku, and Alvida. "It's ready everyone. Dig in!" he said with a smile.
"We're...not hungry." most of them said.
"No need to decline out of modesty." Brogy said. "Eat all you like. Dino meat's truly delicious." "It's fine. I'm not very hungry anyway." most of them said again.
"He's gonna eat us too!" Usopp whispered.
"Only after fattening us up first." Nami whispered back. Avlida looked like her heart stopped at those words and turned a little blue in the face.
"Not good." Johnny and Yosaku said in unison as Valerie stayed quiet.
"Really? More for your friend then." Brogy said. Everyone looked at him before hearing meat being ripped from the giant bone.
"He's right you guys." Gin said with a mouth full of food. "This aint bad."
'HOW CAN HE BE SO CALM?!' they all screamed in their heads.
"GABABABABABA!" Brogy laughed before eating some himself, clearly amused by all of their faces.
"Um...Brogy, was it? Mind if I ask a question?" she said, hoping he'd be in the mood to talk.
"What's that?" he said.
"How long d-does it take for the log pose to finish recording on this island?" she asked.
"Just one year." he said with a smile. Gin's eye shot open as he stopped chewing while everyone else fell off the leg they were resting on. "So relax everyone! GABABABABA!"
"That's not good." Gin said after finishing his food.

-At Dorry's home-
"GYEGYEGYEGYE!" Dorry laughed as Luffy stuffed his face full of dino meat. He had invited Luffy, Vivi, Nojiko, and Carue to his home for a meal.
"This is delicious!" Luffy said.
"And your pirate lunchbox is great too! Small though it may be." he said with a laugh.
"Yeah. My chef made it, so I'm glad you like it. Otherwise, I'd have to kick your ass." Luffy said, causing Dorry to stop laughing.
"Did you just threaten me?" he asked, causing Vivi, Carue, and Nojiko to jump with worry before he started laughing again. "I like you shrimp! You're funny!"
"They're getting along so well." Vivi thought. Even Nojiko was a little surprised at them becoming fast friends.
"Do you live here Dorry?" Luffy asked.
"No." Dorry said. "I come from a village deep in the Grand Line called Elbaf. It's a village for Warriors." he said. "Elbaf huh?" Luffy said with a grin.
"Yes." Dorry said. "But my village has a certain law. If a fight breaks out and can't be settled, then we call on our god Elbaf for judgement. He's blesses those in the right and protects them. I've gotten in one such fight with another giant, and this island is our battleground. The winner will be the one who will win and survive." he said before laughing. "AND WE STILL HAVEN'T SETTLED IT, EVEN AFTER 100 YEARS! GYEGYEGYEGYE!"
"100 years?" Nojiko asked.
"It's nothing. We giants live 3 times longer than you squirts!" Dorry said before laughing.
"Even so, why keep fighting after 100 years?" Vivi asked. "Can't you resolve this another way? Do you want to kill each other that badly?" She looked ready to go on until a large volcano erupted. "Guess it's time." Dorry said as he got up and grabbed his sword and shield.
"What do you mean 'guess it's time'?" Nojiko asked.
"I don't remember when, but the eruption of that middle volcano signals the start of our battle." Dorry said. Vivi started ranting about why they would want to kill each other again before Luffy stopped her.
"It's not about that anymore Vivi." Luffy said.
"Exactly." Dorry said as Brogy came into view, looking ready to fight. "This battle is one of pride." he said before he and Dorry rushed each other. "THE REASON FOR THE FIGHT IS LONG FORGOTTEN!" All four of them were knocked onto their butts after a shockwave from their battle hit them. Vivi and Nojiko stared at them while Luffy had a huge grin on his face.

Back at Brogy's home, Nami and the others were watching the duel as well.
"This is a good time to leave!" Nami said.
"Right behind you." Alvida said. "Come on you guys."
"Wow." Usopp said, staring up at the two giants trying to kill each other.
"What are you doing Usopp?" Nami asked.
'The reason? I forgot a long time ago!' were the words going through Usopp's head at the moment.
"No reason, yet they fight." Usopp said.
"They're just being stupid." Alvida said.
"Fool!" Usopp said. "This is what a man's fight truly looks like!" he said crossing his arms.
"Huh?" Nami said. "Think of it this way." Usopp said as Johnny, Yosaku, and Gin began to join him in watching the battle. "Both of them have raised a metaphorical flag in their hearts. One that they value more than their own lives. They wish to keep those flags raised, no matter what. So they protect that flag by fighting each other, even after 100 years." he said. Gin was smiling while Johnny and Yosaku were on the verge of tears from understanding what he meant. "This fight," Usopp went on. "Is one of pride between these two great warriors!"
"That was beautiful big bro." Johnny said as he and Yosaku wiped their eyes. Gin only smiled while Alvida and Nami just stared at them before trying to leave, saying they weren't interested.
"I'm staying here to watch." Usopp said. "This is what I've always dreamed of becoming one day."
"A giant?" Nami asked as she and Alvida sat back down in defeat. "NO! DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TO ANYTHING JUST NOW?!" he demanded as the others snickered. He calmed down before resuming watching. "Imagine a whole village of warriors like them. I wanna see it one day." he said with a smile.
"Same here!" both Johnny and Yosaku said in agreement.
