274. Giant Dads

Once again, the Straw Hat Pirates are visiting Elbaf. They come to find Dorry & Brogy who have gone from Little Garden without their knowledge. The 2 giants have been waiting on the port and they wave at the incoming Straw Hats.

Jon is waving his hands with a big smile on his face. He has considered them as his parents in this world, so he is very happy to see them again in healthy conditions. The ship finally gets close to the port and Jon who can't wait anymore just jumps toward Dorry & Brogy.

Dorry & Brogy are laughing seeing Jon getting too excited to see them. They just look at him coming to their faces with a big smile. So they never thought that what would land on them wasn't a happy hug.

Jon suddenly makes a skeletal susanoo with 2 hands as he flies toward Dorry & Brogy. Everyone is confused, but the next scene makes their jaws drop. Jon suddenly punches the 2 old giants in the face and sends them flying back.

"DAMN SHITTY OLD MEN! YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE LEAVING THAT ISLAND!"

Everyone's sweats are dropped because they didn't expect the reunion to be like this. They expected it to be a touching reunion, after all.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, LITTLE BRAT?"

"HOW COULD YOU PUNCH YOUR ELDERS IN THE FACE?"

"SHUT UP! DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS WHEN I COULDN'T FIND YOU ON LITTLE GARDEN? YOU COULD LEAVE SOME MESSAGES IN THE CAVE SO I WOULD KNOW WHERE YOU WERE GOING."

"WE PLANNED TO RETURN TO ELBAF BEFORE YOU ARRIVED, BUT WE WERE BEING CONSIDERATE OF YOU!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BEING CONSIDERATE, YOU SHITTY OLD MEN?"

"WE WERE JUST GIVING YOU CHANCES TO SHOW OFF!"

"IF WE WERE THERE, YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SHOW OFF BECAUSE WE WOULD GIVE YOU A LOT OF HELP."

"I COULD STILL SHOW OFF EVEN IF YOU WERE THERE!"

The 3 of them keep arguing over this thing, so the others leave them be and talk about different things. They keep arguing and somehow the talk turns into Dorry & Brogy want to test Jon's power. Jon happily accepts it and they go to an empty coast to fight.

"Get ready, old men! I will whoop your asses!"

"Gegyagyagya! You are still 500 years too early to defeat us, boy!"

"Gabababa! Don't cry like what you usually did in the past after you trained with us."

"Hah! You'll be the ones crying today! Do you know what they call me today? The strongest individual alive."

"That's just because you haven't tasted our punches yet."

"Remember that you never won against us, boy!"

"It was in the past. I have grown much stronger, so today will be different."

Jon is activating his humanoid golden susanoo with only 2 hands that hold swords. Dorry & Brogy never saw this before, so they are quite surprised. The susanoo's height is made to be the same as the 2 giants so they won't complain about it being too big if Jon uses its full size.

With weapons in their hands, the 2 giants and Jon's susanoo rush at each other. Dorry & Brogy swing their sword and axe from each side toward Jon's susanoo. Jon swings his swords too to counter their attacks and the clash creates a very powerful shockwave that pushes everything around them away.

The audience watches from a fairly fat distance, but the shockwave still almost makes the humans fly. It shows how powerful their attacks were. They really didn't hold back and used very serious attacks.

The 3 of them keep sending attacks after attacks without any care to their surroundings that keep getting destroyed from the impacts of their clashes. It's truly a battle of monsters. The Giants really live up to their name as the strongest race.

However, Jon is just too much of a monster. Black lines suddenly appear on his face as he enters Sage Mode. Then he swings his susanoo swords toward the 2 Giants that try to counter them again.

But now, Jon's attacks are much more powerful and actually send the 2 Giants fly back. They crash into a tall rock mountain and destroy a big part of it. Jon chases them and puts his susanoo sword on their necks.

"My victory."

"Cough! Indeed it is."

"We lost."

""GEGYAGYAGYA/GABABABA!""

The battle finally finishes with Jon's victory. He didn't use other jutsu, only susanoo and used his swordsmanship. Other than it's hard to use other jutsu while using susanoo, Jon wanted to prove to his old men that he is truly the strongest now.

After that intense battle, everyone holds a big party to celebrate their reunion. The Giants have caught quite a lot of Seakings for the party so all Giants can participate. These Giants have been hooked by Sanji's cooking, that's why they have been anticipating this party.

While partying, the Straw Hats tell everyone their stories since they left Elbaf some years ago to find One Piece. Well, it's mostly Usopp telling a very exaggerated story about himself as the main character and the others as side characters, but the main plot is still there.

Jon talks with Dorry & Brogy about many things too. They are catching up with each other's life in the years since they've been separated. So many things have happened that they can't say everything they want to tell.

"How many years have it been since you left the island, Jon?"

"Hmm, it has been 11 years. I left when I was 16 and now I am 27. It took a long time to explore the world and there are still places we haven't visited. I'll still explore the world, but there's something I want to do soon."

"What is it? You want to get married? GEGYAGYAGYA!"

"Yeah, I'll get married."

*PFFFFTTTT!*

Dorry & Brogy spit the drink in their mouth because they are very surprised by what Jon has just said. He has told them about Vivi in their talk before. But they never expected he suddenly say he would get married soon.

It's not only Dorry & Brogy. Everyone is surprised by what they've just heard and the merry party suddenly gets silenced. Even the Straw Hats are surprised by this because Jon never told them about it before. Only Jane is not surprised among everyone here.

"N-no way! The demon is getting married?"

"W-who's the unlucky woman?"

"HURRY UP AND SAVE THE PITIFUL PRINCESS!"

The Giants' reactions are pissing Jon off, so he starts beating them up with his susanoo. Dorry and Brogy are just being speechless for a moment, but then they start laughing happily. It's something to be happy about, after all.

However, Jon needs to explain it to his crewmates now because he never said anything about it. Although they won't oppose it, they want to at least know when Jon decides to marry Vivi. After all, they are friends who have gone through thick & thin together.
