"I thank you, human, to have free and avenge us of this cowardly attack. I"m Brogy, and the lazy bones laying down if Dorry, gabababababa." Say the giant, nearly shouting for them, before laughing.Say shout seems the last component to wake up the second giant, who appears to already heal from the blast.
"Urg, my head, d.a.m.n those cowardly humans, to dare to trick me like this." Grumble him holding his head with a hand, taking support o the ground with the other. "Brogy, what happens?"
"The little human here had taken care of the honorless duel breaker!" Say him with a grin, tending his hand to his friend, and pulling him for him to seats.
"Good riddance!" nodded him, before looking at their weapon laying on the ground, saddened. They had their handle destroyed from the explosion and the strain of the hard as steel wax, after a century of wears.
Seeing this, Alex advance, attracting the gazes of the two warriors.
"Do you mind if I try something? I may be able to do something about them."
The two were surprised before looking at the other intently. It wasn"t a small matter; a warrior weapon is it live, to let someone meddle with them isn"t something to casually accept.
Before long, the two nods at the same time.
"Very well, you may try, but if you destroy them further, we will kill you!" Say ominously, Dorry.
Not the less intimidated by the penetrating gaze of the giant as he didn"t think of it he nods.
Putting a hand on the large blade laying on the ground, he closes his eyes and focuses. While he could have trans.m.u.ted it back, it wouldn"t be the same as before, because he was ignorant of Elbaf smithing style. By converting a silver of the blade, he would be able to a.n.a.lyse how it.
It had been years since the last time he does it, thank the vast amount of data he already has, he didn"t take long to crack the method. Ingots after ingots of metal and large beams of woods seemingly taken out of nowhere were baffling those who weren"t in the know.
The total amount of weight he had taken out was worth several tons of materials, after all!
Before starting, he turns to the two giants.
"Mind if I take part of the crane of the sea kings you"ve killed?"
"What do you mean, human?" Ask Brogy confused.
"You know, those," said him, pointing at the largely covert in moss cranes on each side. "The reason why you were fighting all those years."
The two of them look at him owlishly, before something seems to click in their mind. They burst in happy laughs, arm on the shoulders of the others, and sending slight quakes from the booming voice.
"Finally, I Remember..!"
"It all started with this little human question!" End the second giant similarly laughing.
"Sure, take as much as you need! Let me fetch some for you!"
"Hmn, I shall do so too!" Exclaim Dorry, raising and starting walk toward his crane, like Brogy.
While the two giants were punching the hard centurial surface, Alex was mixing different wood essences to recreate the badly damaged shield. Instead of creating plank, he made it of a single structure.
Ma.s.sive cracking sound thundered as large chunk of the cranes were cracked open and separated from the structure.
"Girls, could you see if you can found me some st.u.r.dy leather around?" Asked Alex, as he started to work on the handle of the larger giant" axe.
"Fret not, human, I know were to found the best one around!" Boast Brogy, who leave an enormous shard of bone to his side.
"You will not go without me, Brogy! We may not have decided who was the best warrior yet, but I d.a.m.n well sure that you will not beat me this time!" Yell Dorry, hastily following after Brogy who was already starting to swim in the deeper water of the island.

The two giants didn"t vanish for long. After they hear and feel rumbling sound and quake, seeing geyser of water bursting from the sea, the two drags behind them an enormous Sea Kings spanning at least a right half a mile long, not the largest specimen out of the sea, but the largest they all withness none the less.
As Alex made his way to them, still on the beach, bickering again that their catch was the largest, he says.
"Rather than stay like this, why not let me settle this? I can dismantle them and give you the result."
The two giant froze mid-yell, before turning to him. They had seen him take a large amount of material out of nowhere and transform their shape, while they keep their total amount of ma.s.s, he was undoubtedly the best to judge who had won.
"Very well human, you may process and announce the best of us!"
"How do you want to choose? Weight, size, structure?"
"Mhn, let go with the total weight, the heaviest win?" Ask Brogy to his comrade.
"Fair to me." Confirm the giant.
"Ok."
Putting his hand on the yellow-skinned, dinosaur-like creature, he starts to trans.m.u.te the skin out of the meat, bones and fat, obtaining a perfectly skinned animal, and an enormous amount of leather. Doing the same for the muscles, he targets the joints and end of each tissue, keeping them wrapped around the bones structure. The organ was the easiest to separate, and he didn"t need to touch the bones.
"I emptied their stomach and intestines of everything, and drain the blood out, fair to you two?" Asked Alex.
"You are a fair judge, human! Taking unto consideration such a tiny amount of detail, I"m proud to have accepted your judgment!" Say Dorry impressed, with Brogy nodding on the side.
"Alright, her the second."
He did the same thing with the second Sea King, before he takes out a large block of steel, and trans.m.u.te symbol on it, before creating and putting a sizeable wooden plate on it. Storing the first Sea King, he made everything reappear on the large wooden platter, before injecting energy in the matrice.
The runes lighten under the awed gaze of the entire group that had to rejoin them and the two giant. A few seconds later, a significant "12,536" flicker in thin air, before a "568" follow.
"Brogy" Sea King, 12,536 ton, 568 kilos!"
Storing it back, he does the same from Dorry one.
"Dorry" Sea King 12,684 ton, 865 kilos! Sorry Brogy, but Dorry had beat you with 148 ton and 297 kilos."
"Gegyagyagyagya! Finally! After 100 years..."
"73,467 fight..."
"73,467 draws..."
"We finally know the mightiest warrior!" FInish Brogy, grinning happily, even after he lost. Their centurial fight had taken an end thank to a little human willing to settle their feud; they could finally return to Elbaf, among their kind to share their stories!
##################################
"Alright, let"s do it!" Grin Alex, happy that to be able to help the two giants.
Returning to the clearing, he starts to trans.m.u.te the enormous chunk of over-heated metal, shaping it in the form used by the warrior nation.
Under the sharp gaze of the two giants, he turns the bone shard to dust, adding it to the blade in constant trans.m.u.tation.
It was the first time he tried something like this. Because of the humongous size of the sword, he was creating; he couldn"t merely pound it and shape it like any other he done before. It was them then the idea struck him. If he were able to keep the metal into an unstable form, he would be able to mix other parts in, as they would follow the chaotic state and spread to the entire chunk.
It was by far the most demanding tasks he had ever undertaken. While he was letting the structure wild, he had to keep on it a constant, hold to turn the entire block into an even construct.
With the addition of the powdered bone of the Sea King, the blade would gain a ridiculous st.u.r.diness. Sinking deeper into his focused state, he slowly opens his mouth and lightly breath out, as he gradually separates a chunk of it.
##################################
They were all looking at Alex in complete silence since the start. The moment they see his focused gazes, they all understand that he wouldn"t tolerate a single disruption.
They had watched with awe as he baths the large ingot of trans.m.u.ted metal in flames, turning it into a glowing yellow colour in second. They all immediately start to sweat under the smouldering temperature exuded by him; even his girls were affected as they didn"t that degree of control over their flames.
The sight of the metal moving the length of the ingot chaotically, without even losing a silver of the metal was mindblowing. They know that they were a.s.sisting at a never seen before work and the birth of masterpieces.
They understand why he asked for shards of the bones when he turns them in powder and mixes them in. Sea King bones was one of the st.u.r.diest material in the sea; those hundred years old bones used have been temperate for a century and were undoubtedly a priceless material.
The two giants, while being utterly ignorant of the way of the smiths, know that he was pouring his soul into the creation. Its intent wasn"t any less than there, a proud warrior giving everything to his art, and the giant of Elbaf respect warriors.
When he opens his mouth and breath out, they immediately feel the temperature fall to an alarming rate. The thin thread of mist white substance condensing was giving them chills. When it strikes the hot metal softly, it completely froze the two-piece of matter solid.
Because of the sudden atmospheric change, they all jump in fright at the sudden rain of lightning falling on the conducting metal. The flash heated metal was against frozen by the still continuous tread.
As fast as it came, the cloud vanishes under the weather of Grand Line.
When all looked at the metal, they could see the erratic pattern created by the strike of lightning and the chilling tread.
##################################
In a final trans.m.u.tation, Alex turns the lumps of metal into a blade and an Axe head. Both of them made in an unknown shape for them, but for anyone of Alex prime world, they would recognize a Skeggox type of battle axe head. It"s bit forming a wide arc, nearly straight, with the cheek engraved in a stylish Nordic pattern, hiding the concealed runes added.
Taking the pre-made handle, he trans.m.u.tes it into the slot, fusing the part in a single ensemble, while curving the end of the handle, forming an enormous battle-axe.
As for Dorry blade, it was nearly similar to his old one, a long, straight edge with a fuller running roughly all the sword. The crossguard had kept straight, barely thicker than the blade itself. Like for Brogy axe, Alex had added nordic pattern in the pommel.
Taking the leather of their respective Sea King, he creates large strap, before wrapping them around the weapon"s handle and grip. Fusing the ends of the belt, he gives the last stroke by pumping an enormous amount of energy through the metal, activating the runes for the first time.
They all could hear the hum of power they give off.
With only a nod of Alex, both warrior carefully takes the created weapon. The moment they handle them, they could feel a deep hum vibrating from the deepest part of their soul, looking in awe at the marvellous arms, they nod at each other before giving a power strike in the sea.
The water immediately breaks apart, riped by the sheer pressure of the blast produced. As the sea retake it right on its waters, the gulf created recede, but a large shadow made its way to the surface.
All look dumbfounded a the two large gashes bleeding profusely on the most significant goldfish that ever existed.
While they all were completely unaware of its ident.i.ty, three know it well.
"The Lord of the sea, to think that a single common strike at full power was able to kill it, without recurring to our/their Hakoku!" They thoughts.
Looking at the blade, they couldn"t see even the slightest chip on them. Both giants broke into a broad grin, taking with pride the gift they receive.
While the two giants were marvelling at their weapons, Alex runs and jump in the sea to swim until the corpse of the island sized Goldfish. Near enough, he stores the entire thing, a.s.suring them years of food with the two Sea King and the gigantic monster. He was also interested in the giant shield size scales of it.
All those were priceless material for him to experiment on, and with the frozen s.p.a.ce, he wouldn"t fear the meat to rot. Returning to the sh.o.r.e, he faces two decided giants.
"Human, what your name?" Asked solemnly, Dorry.
"Alexander D. Evans, but my friend call me Alex." Say him.
"Alex, you are proven yourself being a fierce warrior in defending our honour when we were cowardly attacked. More so, you have gifted us weapons like never before wielded by giants hands. Our weapons are yours, shall you ever need a hand, the giant"s crew shall come to your support! Take this with you."
Say Brogy, taking out a large folded sheet of paper. Recognizing the Vive-card, he tore a quarter-sized chunk, before trans.m.u.ting a crystal bubble around it, traping the paper pointing toward the giant.
"Thank you. I will be sure to call if I need it." Saying this, he trans.m.u.tes yet another device. "I trust that your island possesses Denden mushi to your size?" Asked him, and them nodding in response. "Good, it should be at the right size then."
What he had created was the actual device used on the creature to converse.
"The number and mine are inside the box; you would just have to put it on the sh.e.l.l of a wild Denden mushi and communication would be possible." Say him, leaving one of them to take the enormous box containing the device. Turning to the sea, he retakes wood beams after wood beams. Those particular blocks came from the leftover armada of Kreig. It has given him quite the haul, that serve to create a basic Drakkar for the two giants, with a cabin inside.
"In not perfect, but it should be enough for you to sail for a while, with enough chance you would be able to found Water Seven and contract them to build you a ship. I had left 400,000,000B inside; it should be enough for them to construct you something to use and return on your island."
The two giants were surprised by Alex generosity; it would have taken them long to construct something to rejoin the next island. Even without Log Pose they wouldn"t be too much hindered, as they could feed on the sea and roam from a few years if need.
