"DEDE..."

The ground trembled violently.

A massive, towering figure approached, carrying a gust of wind that swept through the area.

"Quack quack quack quack! Master Wilhelm, it's about time..." Blue Ogre lowered his gigantic head, glancing curiously at the anthropomorphic Somersault Cloud floating mid-air.

Without asking any questions, he turned to Wilhelm, Smoothie, and the others. Laughing heartily, he said, "Looks like it's time for you all to leave!"

"Yes, it's about time," Wilhelm agreed with a nod.

Over the past two weeks, Wilhelm had fully mastered the Titans' unique skill—the Spear of Elbaph. Both the technique's power and speed had significantly improved, far surpassing the initial attempts when he could barely wield it.

Thanks to the Human-Human Fruit powers that gave Blue Ogre his exceptional learning ability and sharp understanding, his progress under Wilhelm's training had been astounding. Blue Ogre's strength had grown at an unbelievable pace, exceeding all expectations.

"Dorry, it's up to you now," Wilhelm said with satisfaction, looking at the towering, muscular Blue Ogre, whose presence radiated power. "I'll be waiting for you in the New World!"

Over the past days of observation and practice, Wilhelm had grown confident in Blue Ogre's potential. Despite his cheerful, honest demeanor and simple appearance, Blue Ogre possessed a sharp mind and impressive wisdom.

As he adapted to his new body and integrated the memories of the original Blue Ogre, Dorry, his combat skills and muscle memory—shaped by centuries of Titan training—quickly resurfaced. With Wilhelm's guidance, this "newborn" Blue Ogre rapidly developed his skills.

In just two weeks, Blue Ogre had demonstrated incredible talent in mastering Observation Haki and Armament Haki, surpassing the rigid and outdated methods of older Titans.

Unlike the original Titans, who relied on brute strength and endless repetition to build muscle memory, Blue Ogre's adaptability and intelligence allowed him to achieve results much faster.

Although his battle experience and awareness weren't yet on the level of Brogy, his improving Haki compensated for these gaps. Even in a duel against Brogy, he now stood a chance of winning.

"Quack quack quack! Don't worry, Master Wilhelm!" Blue Ogre pounded his massive fist against his chest. His deep, booming voice echoed as he declared, "In three years, I might even master Moonwalk!"

Wilhelm's expectations for Blue Ogre only grew after seeing his remarkable progress.

He had already taught Blue Ogre the Six Powers techniques. For most Titans, mastering such a physically demanding skill set would be nearly impossible due to their enormous size and often clumsy nature. However, Blue Ogre's natural talent and sharp understanding set him apart.

Wilhelm couldn't help but believe that one day, Blue Ogre might truly master advanced techniques like Moonwalk to address his mobility limitations.

After all, this Blue Ogre was no longer the same as the original Dorry, who thrived in the sea and could hunt Sea Kings effortlessly. This new Blue Ogre had the potential to reach heights far beyond that.

Blue Ogre, often looked down upon at sea for his enormous size as a user of the Human-Human Fruit, faced a unique challenge. In battles near the sea, enemies could exploit his bulk, targeting the ground beneath him to increase the risk of him falling into the water.

"Cloud~~~Cloud~~~"

The Somersault Cloud sang joyfully in its cheerful, anthropomorphic voice, "I am a cloud~~~"

The cloud steadily grew larger, expanding until it was big enough to carry Wilhelm and the three Smoothie sisters with ease.

The enormous Somersault Cloud floated gracefully, carrying Wilhelm and his companions toward the pirate ship waiting by the coast.

Meanwhile, on the pirate ship, the crew became uneasy. They had noticed all the Homiz soldiers on the island had suddenly vanished.

When they saw the massive, cloud-shaped Homiz flying towards them, their eyes widened in shock.

"Is that..."

"Eh?! Could that be Thundercloud Zeus from Big Mom?"

"How did it end up here?"

The pirates hurried to Wilhelm and Smoothie as they landed.

"My Lord Wilhelm! My Lady Smoothie!"

"All the Homiz soldiers on the island suddenly disappeared! We were just about to report this to you!"

Wilhelm lightly stepped off the Somersault Cloud and landed on the deck. He patted Finger, the snow mastiff, as he approached and spoke calmly, "Don't worry. I absorbed the soul power of the Homiz soldiers and used it to create a more powerful Homiz."

"Eh?!"

The pirates were stunned by his response.

Homiz creation was thought to be an ability exclusive to Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin. That Wilhelm could also create Homiz left them utterly astonished.

Wilhelm turned to Poseidon Jayne, the ship's captain. "Jayne, are we ready? It's time to set sail."

Smoothie and her sisters descended from the Somersault Cloud one by one. Smoothie, full of confidence, addressed Jayne.

"Yes, Lady Smoothie," Jayne replied. "We're fully prepared and ready to depart at any moment!"

"If anything comes up, you can use this to contact me," Wilhelm said as he handed a Den Den Mushi to Blue Ogre, who stood by the shore.

"Quack quack quack! Farewell, my friends!" Blue Ogre waved, his tone cheerful but respectful.

As the pirates finalized their preparations, the ground began to tremble again.

Loud footsteps echoed, accompanied by the frantic cries of fleeing birds and beasts.

A towering, 20-meter-tall figure emerged—the bloated yet imposing Red Ogre, Brogy. With a wide grin, he approached the group, waving.

"KAHAHAHAHAHA~ Wilhelm, my friend, farewell!"

"Thank you for your hospitality during our stay!" Wilhelm responded with a polite nod.

"Dorry, Brogy... I look forward to seeing you both in the New World someday," he added with a meaningful tone, glancing at Blue Ogre.

"Quack quack quack~ We'll meet again, but first, Brogy and I need to settle things between us," Blue Ogre said confidently.

"Kahaha~ True, but the winner will undoubtedly be me!" Brogy countered, his laugh echoing across the island as Wilhelm and his crew set sail.
