In a sun-scorched clearing deep within Little Garden, the jungle held its breath.
Two giants stood across from each other:One wore a blue horned helmet, his braided beard reaching his waist — Dorry the Blue Ogre.The other, bald with a thick red mustache, held a jagged axe gleaming in the sunlight — Broggy the Red Ogre.
The air trembled.
BOOOOM!!!
Their weapons clashed in a thunderous shockwave, cracking trees and sending birds flying in terror.
Zoro, Luffy, and Vihaan stood on the hilltop nearby, jaws slack.
"So THIS is why it's called Little Garden…" Vihaan muttered.
Luffy's eyes sparkled. "GIANTS FIGHTING! AWESOME!"
Zoro crossed his arms. "Wouldn't want to take one of those hits."
Vihaan smirked and created a floating mirror lens, zooming in on the fight. "Their movements… predictable, but powerful. It's not just brute strength — it's honor."
Suddenly, as the two giants roared and charged at each other—
A waxy beam blasted across the battlefield.
Dorry's axe froze mid-air. Broggy's foot locked to the ground. In seconds, a thick layer of shimmering white wax engulfed both titans.
"WHAT?!" Luffy shouted.
Zoro reached for his swords—but he too was struck by sticky waxy rings, freezing him in place.
Vihaan attempted to leap, but a trap on the ground ignited, locking his ankles to a fast-hardening wax slab.
"Clever," Vihaan growled. "He hid the setup."
Above the battlefield stood Mr. 3, standing proudly atop a wax pedestal with Miss Goldenweek painting symbols beside him.
He lifted a wax pistol, aiming at Vihaan's chest.
"I'll call this piece: 'The Fall of Rebellion.'"
CRACK!
A bullet whistled from the treetops, slamming into the side of Mr. 3's neck. He spun with a yelp and collapsed off his platform.
"WHAT THE—?!"
All heads turned to see a tall figure high in a tree near the ship, slingshot still smoking.
"The Great Captain Usopp never misses when his crew is in trouble!"
Nami, from the deck, stared in disbelief. "Usopp?!"
Sanji dropped his cigarette. "He actually… hit him?!"
Vihaan smirked. "Good job, sniper."
With Mr. 3 momentarily down and Goldenweek scrambling to defend him, Vihaan shifted his fingers, summoning shimmering glass-like shards from his cuffs.
"Mirror Shard Release."
The shards buzzed through the air like tiny blades, slicing the wax holding Zoro, Luffy, and himself. The material cracked and fell away with clean precision.
Luffy stretched with a growl. "That guy tried to turn me into a statue!"
Zoro cracked his neck. "He's lucky I'm not warmed up yet."
Vihaan turned, aiming his shards toward the frozen giants.
"Better be careful here…"
He pointed and shaved the wax around the joints — precise, surgical cuts.
With a great groan and snap, the wax crumbled.
BOOM. The two giants moved again, shaking the island.
Dorry stared at his restored arm. "We're free…"
Broggy turned toward the Straw Hats. "You freed us… despite being small."
Zoro tilted his head. "You're welcome, I guess?"
Vihaan nodded, hand on his sword. "We're not enemies."
The two giants let out a thunderous laugh.
"THEN YOU SHALL FEAST WITH US!" Dorry roared.
"YOU'VE EARNED A PLACE AT THE FIRE!"
Luffy beamed. "YESSSS! FOOD WITH GIANTS!"
As the chaos of the wax battlefield settled and the giants celebrated their freedom, Sanji stood near the Merry, watching the scene unfold from afar.
Usopp was nervously reloading his slingshot. "You think we should go help them?"
Sanji lit his cigarette. "Nah. You stay here and guard the ladies. Especially Nami-swan and Vivi-chan."
"W-What about you?"
Sanji smirked. "I've got a bad feeling. I'm gonna scout."
Without waiting for a reply, he disappeared into the jungle.
After ten minutes of weaving through thick brush, Sanji stumbled upon an odd clearing — quiet, still… and at the center, a wax dome camouflaged into the foliage.
The scent of cigar smoke hit his nose before he stepped inside.
"Took you long enough."
The voice echoed through the hollow wax structure.
Inside stood a snail transponder, its eyes mimicking the face of a man shrouded in shadow — Crocodile.
Sanji clenched his jaw, instinctively stepping forward. "So you're the boss, huh?"
The snail grinned. "And you're the one who defeated Mr. 5's team… impressive for a cook."
"I like my steaks cooked. And traitors roasted."
"Charming," Crocodile replied coolly. "But remember, Little Garden is just the beginning. You and your pirate friends are walking into a storm bigger than you understand."
Before Sanji could speak, two small Baroque Works carrier animals—a duck and a vulture—snatched up a briefcase and a sealed letter from the wax desk and flew off through the skylight of the igloo.
"No!" Sanji yelled and rushed out, lighting a flare instantly.
Back at the ship, Usopp was nervously pacing until he saw the green signal flare burst in the sky.
"That's Sanji's sign…"
He turned and spotted two silhouettes flying through the sky, headed straight toward the ocean.
"NOPE! NOT ON MY WATCH!"
He pulled out his long-range slingshot — Kabuto Mark 1 — set it on the railing, adjusted his sights, took a deep breath…
"Wind: northeast, 17 knots… angle: 37 degrees…"
"Great Captain Usopp — SNIPE!"
TWO PERFECT SHOTS.
CRACK.THUMP.
The briefcase fell, and the letter fluttered down like a leaf, both landing in the bushes just a few feet from Sanji.
Sanji smirked. "Not bad, long-nose."
Back inside the wax dome, Crocodile's snail narrowed its eyes.
"So they have a sniper too."
Sanji lit another cigarette. "You're damn right we do."
Then he kicked the snail clean across the dome.
"Transmission ended."
Forgive me for a few minor changes but I made some as I saw fit.
