Sitting on the top of the sail of his boat, Josh looked at the shadow of a very big island on his way.

Mikita, floating while holding a compass, nodded. "It should be this island."

"How can you be sure."

"Because it's the nearest one to Whiskey Peak, and with this compass, it's assumed we would go here."

"Anyway, don't let your guard down."

"Kyahahaha… they shouldn't let their guards down."

Josh shook his head.

Even though he had been training in the last days, making his physical strength reach almost 8.8 tons, he didn't allow himself to get cocky.

Maybe because he can't do punches that are 15 metric tons heavy. But it was still to have an ally like that next to him.

Very soon, the shadow of the island they reached began to become bigger and bigger.

They landed on the beach and looked in front of them.

The island was really large, covered in trees all around. One can tell that it's not habituated island. Josh and Mikita landed around and started walking.

'This place… so familiar.'

Josh was trying to remember where he had seen this place from the show.

Bam…Bam…

"Josh, be careful," Mikita said, pointing with her hand forward.

All of the sudden, a giant dinosaur, a brown one, with a height of 15 meters, appeared in front of them.

Mikita quickly lightened her weight and jumped up, floating. Meanwhile, Josh quickly activated Shave and vanished from the sight, avoiding the mouth of the giant creature that tried to eat him.

Quickly, Josh appeared above it, couching and making a fist. "Kung Fu. Brick breaking punch." He wanted to try to declare the name of his attack once since he is facing a mindless dinosaur. After punching it, the dinosaur seemed to feel pain.

Although Josh smaller body put him at disadvantage, however, his strength was very concentrated, which caused a lot of damage.

And he had higher agility.

After the creature roared and ran away, Mikita descends from the sky, and she crushed its skull as she fell and generated a good impact that did some damage to its brain, making it fall and losing consciousness.

"Well, it's not as scary as a sea monster," Mikita said.

"Agree."

Josh jumped and held her from the waist before they landed on the ground, away from the creature.

However, soon, they noticed a giant blade heading toward their original spot.

A giant man, 20 meters in height, waved a giant axe, cutting the dinosaur's head, and making its body fall limp.

"Great, we have a dinner for the night."

The giant said as he picked up the body of the dinosaur. The giant didn't seem to notice them.

Meanwhile, Mikita and Josh were opening their mouths widely while looking up.

"These. These are the Giant Pirates previous leaders." Mikita declared.

"You know them."

Josh could know them from the show. But he didn't think Mikita would know them since if memory served him well, they had vanished for 50-100 years.

"Ah… I see the posters from some time, read articles." Mikita said. "These people have been vanishing for 50 years, the two leaders of the pirates were said to be dead after fighting."

Mikita rubbed her throat.

The one they had just seen, a fat giant, has a bounty of 100 million.

A 100 million Berries 50 years ago worth more than 100 million nowadays, that's why Mikita was anxious.

"Well, they are alive," Josh said as he jumped, reaching a high point in the air.

Looking around, he saw another giant, who looked muscular, 20 meters in height, holding a sword and cutting another dinosaur and preparing his dinner.

"Should we hide?" She asked.

"Don't worry. They are gentle guys." Josh said.

Anyone who can tolerate Luffy around them deserves the good citizen's reward.

Someone who is changed by Luffy deserves sympathy.

That's why Josh didn't seem afraid of them.

He pitied them somehow.

"Do you think Crocodile wants us to hunt them down?"

"I don't think so. It's a trap, remember. Probably Mr 5 would notice them and use them to bait us."

"I know. I'm wondering about his scenario if you know."

"Who knows." Josh shrugged his shoulders.

Josh thought of probably asking the giants to join him in Alabasta, however, knowing that these two giants have been fighting for tens of years.

When Mikita and Josh walked in one direction, they stopped in front of two people, sitting.

"Oy, you two took your time to arrive here." Came a strange voice.

Turning, the two saw a tall black man, around 198 cm, wearing sunglasses.

Next to him was an average height woman, around 175 cm. She had straight green hair - shoulder length - hourglass shape, and a huge chest. (A/N: She is an Oc.)

"Gem," Josh called.

"It's Mr. 5 now, Josh." Gem halted his step and looked at Josh and Mikita.

"And who is this cutie next to you." Josh turned to the pretty girl.

"My partner. Ms Liberty."

"That's a new name." Mikita suppressed her laugh, and desire to say that Baroque Works can't find better names.

Gem, Aka Mr Five, looked at Josh.

"So, Mr 7, I see you have been promoted quickly as well."

"Not as quick as you," Josh replied to Gem, who had a smirk on his face.

"Anyway, what do we have here?" Josh asked.

"Hunt these giants down," said Mr. 5.

"Really. For someone as strong as them, Nah." Josh said. "At least. Mr.1 has to be here."

"Don't worry. With my Devil Fruit's ability and your agility, we can do it."

Gem patted his dark sunglasses and looked at the towering figure of a giant eating dinosaur meat.

Josh and Mikita on the other hand were sneering inside.

They both knew it was a trap.

However, their foes don't know that they know.

Josh and Mikita stared at each other.

When Josh nodded at her, Mikita understood what he meant.

They would play along, and then, when Gem and his partner lower their guard, they would attack.

Josh looked at the green-haired girl. 'Now, I wonder what's her ability.'

"Let me explain to you my strategy."

Putting his hands behind his back, Mr Five started walking and explaining what Josh and the rest have to do.
