The battlefield sizzled under the midday sun as the Straw Hats regrouped. Dorry and Broggy, towering behind them, readied their axes, while Vihaan, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp prepared for round two.
Mr. 3, though bloodied from Usopp's earlier shot, had managed to stagger upright. "You insects don't know when to die!"
He slammed his hands together. "Candle Champion!"
A massive wax mech formed around him — thick, armored, and towering.
"Dibs!" Luffy shouted, launching into the sky with a Gum-Gum Balloon and landing a punch on the wax.
"Useless," Mr. 3 sneered. "Wax is stronger than steel!"
Zoro cut through the first few arms, only for more to grow back.
Then Vihaan stepped forward, calm and focused.
He summoned a glowing, hexagonal mirror wall, then another, and another — five floating in a circular motion.
"Let's see how your wax handles reflective velocity."
He launched one mirror forward—it bounced between the others like a ricocheted bullet before slamming into Mr. 3's shoulder, shattering the wax armor on one side.
Mr. 3 stumbled.
Then Vihaan whispered:"Mirage Bind."
Tiny, shimmering mirror tendrils extended from the ground, wrapping Mr. 3's legs and yanking him face-first into the dirt.
Goldenweek attempted to flee, only to be caught in Usopp's new vine-burst ammo, pinning her to a tree.
"Nailed it!" he cheered.
With the enemies defeated, Vihaan calmly walked back to the Merry. Nami and Vivi were on the deck, discussing charting the next leg of their journey.
Without missing a beat, Vihaan slid his arms around both their waists, lifting them effortlessly with a grin.
"Ladies. Your hero is here. Time for a feast."
Nami gasped. "Put me down!"
Vivi blushed. "W-We're in public!"
From across the ship, Sanji's soul visibly left his body. "WHY IS HE LIFTING BOTH?!"
On the other side of the island, the Straw Hats and the giants gathered for a celebration.
Roasted dinosaur, massive fruit barrels, and meat piled as high as the trees.
Luffy ate like a monster. Zoro drank like a fish. Usopp performed dramatic retellings of his snipe.
Vihaan sat calmly, flanked by Nami and Vivi, drinking coconut juice as the fire crackled.
Suddenly—
Goldenweek broke free from the tree ropes.
She charged silently, hand glowing with strange colours, heading straight for Vivi.
Vihaan saw her a split-second before impact.
"Reflect."
He twisted two fingers.
A thin mirror shimmered to life in front of Vivi. Goldenweek's colour aura hit the mirror — and rebounded directly back on her.
The colours washed over her own body — trapping her in a rainbow trance.
"Sleepy… nap time…" she mumbled, slumping into a tree root.
Vivi stared, stunned. Then, with a grateful smile, she leaned in and kissed Vihaan full on the lips.
Nami blinked. "H-Hey!"
Vihaan blinked. "That was… reward?"
Sanji roared.
"YOU HAREM-FLAUNTING DEVIL!"
He flew forward with a flaming kick aimed at Vihaan's head.
But Vihaan calmly flicked his finger—a marble-sized mirror shard formed mid-air and glowed with heat aiming straight for sanji's chest but in the last second ,sanji jumped to dodge it--
Tink.
It flew directly into Sanji's path and—
PING!
Connected with his nuts.
Sanji froze midair.
Then he fell.
"M-My precious onionssssssss…"
Zoro leaned back and howled. "Guess the cook got scrambled!"
Luffy laughed with meat in his mouth. Usopp cried tears of joy. Even the giants cracked up.
Vihaan just shrugged, arms still around the girls.
"Sanji... you should've known. Mirrors reflect justice."
As the campfire dimmed and the laughter finally faded, Dorry and Broggy leaned back against fallen trees, their bellies full and their weapons resting beside them.
Vihaan, now sitting between Nami and Vivi, looked up at them curiously. "You two… you've been fighting here for a hundred years?"
Zoro raised an eyebrow too. "What for?"
The giants looked at each other and let out hearty laughs, the kind that shook the stars.
"We are warriors of Elbaf!" Dorry boomed."The mightiest of all giants!" Broggy added with pride.
Vihaan tilted his head. "Elbaf?"
Vivi gasped. "That's a legendary land. It's said no nation dares wage war against them."
Dorry nodded solemnly. "We were both captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates. One day, a small argument broke out over who hunted the bigger sea king."
Broggy chuckled. "So, to settle it, we agreed to duel. One-on-one. Until one of us won fair and square."
Luffy blinked. "Wait… so you've been fighting every time the volcano erupts… over a fish?"
Dorry laughed. "It wasn't just the fish! It was pride. Honor. The Elbaf way!"
Broggy nodded. "We warriors never leave a duel unfinished."
Vihaan smiled. "That's… the most hilariously noble thing I've ever heard."
Nami sweat-dropped. "All this time, over something so silly?"
Dorry leaned down, his voice softer. "You might laugh, but to us — it's not about the fish anymore. It's about respect. And proving to Elbaf… that we never break our word."
The fire crackled again. Even the crew, chaotic as they were, fell quiet in that moment of unspoken admiration.
Luffy stood, raising a mug.
"To Dorry and Broggy — the most awesome giants ever!"
The entire crew echoed him.
"TO THE GIANTS OF ELBAF!"
