Chapter 30 - Mr. 3

"Why are there dinosaurs here?! It's charging at us!" Usopp trembled as he raised his slingshot, trying to protect the Going Merry from being destroyed.

"This might be a prehistoric island."

Because the Grand Line's climate is so unpredictable, islands rarely interact with each other. Some develop advanced civilizations, while others remain in a primitive state. With no exchange between them, it explains why so many ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruits exist in this world.

Igaram pulled out a gun from within his curled hair and fired at the charging Tyrannosaurus.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The result was practically negligible. The dinosaur only suffered minor injuries, which instead enraged it further. It opened its jaws, intent on devouring the moving prey before it.

Just as Eren was about to act, a massive figure appeared behind the Tyrannosaurus. A true giant swung down a huge battle axe—instantly reversing the roles of hunter and prey. The dinosaur was split cleanly in two.

The giant, wearing a helmet and sporting a golden beard, dragged the dinosaur's corpse to the side of the Going Merry. He bent down, his enormous face larger than any human's, and looked at the crew.

"Do you have any alcohol on your ship?"

Nami and Usopp hurriedly agreed, handing over all the alcohol on board. The giant was delighted and invited them to share roasted dinosaur meat.

During the meal, he introduced himself—Brogy, one of the strongest warriors from Elbaf, the land of giants. He had remained on Little Garden for a hundred years.

The crew's barrels of alcohol looked tiny in his hands—barely the size of his fingers. Accepting his invitation, they followed him to his camp to enjoy the feast.

At that moment, a volcano on Little Garden suddenly erupted.

Brogy had an agreement with another giant—Dorry. As soon as the volcano erupted, the two would duel. Both giants picked up their weapons and began fighting immediately, completely ignoring everyone around them.

They fought fiercely for over ten minutes without a clear winner. In the end, they slammed their shields into each other's faces, bringing the duel to a close. Both collapsed onto the ground laughing.

This level of battle had continued for over a hundred years. Their 73,406th duel ended in yet another draw.

Brogy tossed a few barrels of alcohol to Dorry. The other giant happily caught them—he hadn't had a drink in a long time and intended to enjoy it thoroughly.

Meanwhile, Luffy found Dorry, and the two prepared to enjoy the feast together. Sanji and Zoro's hunting competition also ended in a tie. The two headed deeper into the island, searching for even larger prey.

Just as both sides were enjoying food and drink, troublemakers arrived—the persistent agents of Baroque Works.

Since Mr. 5 had only just been brought to the island by Robin, Mr. 3's original plan to lace the alcohol with explosives failed. Still, he was confident—he didn't need tricks to defeat a group of rookie pirates.

As a future high-ranking officer, Mr. 3 planned to take everything in one go—eliminate the Straw Hats and Vivi's group, and even claim the bounties on the two giants, each worth 100 million from a century ago.

"With the three of us here, just accept your fate!"

Facing a Straw Hat crew missing three of its strongest fighters, Mr. 3—user of the Wax-Wax Fruit—was confident he could end things instantly.

At his side was his partner, Miss Goldenweek. Though not a Devil Fruit user, she could apply different colors of paint to inflict psychological debuffs on enemies.

Nearby, Nico Robin observed the group with curiosity. She noticed an unfamiliar black-haired young man among them—someone not recorded in Baroque Works' intelligence.

"Are these your enemies?" Brogy asked, clearly annoyed at his feast being interrupted.

"These Baroque Works agents have been chasing us all this way," Nami said coldly. "Bounty hunters working for pirates—what a joke."

"If they're bounty hunters, I'll help you deal with them. Then we can go back to drinking," Brogy said as he stood up, raising his massive axe.

As the giant charged forward, Mr. 3's hair ignited with a small flame. His arms transformed into flowing white wax. As a Devil Fruit user, he had no fear of giants.

"Wax Candle Lock!"

The wax flowed onto Brogy's legs, instantly hardening and binding them. The giant crashed to the ground right in front of him.

"It's not over yet—Wax Sculpting: Giant Sword!"

Mr. 3 flung wax into the air, instantly forming massive white wax blades that pierced Brogy's limbs, pinning the giant to the ground. Blood flowed from the wounds, staining the wax red.

"The giant is dealt with. Now it's your turn."

Usopp tried to seize the moment, firing several shots—but they were completely blocked by a wax wall.

"That's all you've got? No need for Miss Robin to even step in."

Mr. 3, covered in wax, advanced toward them, intending to turn them into wax sculptures—Vivi being h jiis prized "art piece."

At this moment, all hope fell on Eren. The weaker members stepped back, making space for him. Even the giant had been defeated—could another giant turn the tide?

"A kid who hasn't even grown up yet? You're putting your hopes on him? Take this—Wax Flood!"

A massive amount of wax poured from Mr. 3's body, forming a two-meter-high wave of molten wax, aiming to completely engulf the black-haired youth. No matter how skilled he was, once touched by the wax, he would be immobilized.

Everyone watched as Eren was completely submerged. The spot where he stood was replaced entirely by solid white wax.

Then—

A bolt of golden lightning split the sky.

The hardened wax began to melt from within, vaporized by intense heat. Flesh, bone, and nerves rapidly reformed before everyone's eyes.

A twenty-meter-tall giant appeared.

Eren… had transformed once again.
