“Haha… so good… just amazing!”

  “Jace, slow down! Save some for me!”

  “Alright, alright… It’s been so long since we’ve had anything this delicious!”

  “That’s right! Those sneaky, rotten Navy dogs and those filthy CP agents poisohe wine!”

  “The damned Wover… One day, if we get the ce, we’ll make them pay for it!”

  “Absolutely, they’ll pay! But this space is so cramped. There’s not even enough room to stand fortably!”

  “Hey, Boss El, and you too, Gerd—you both must be giants around here, right? You’ve got to have something bigger for us!”

  In Level 5.5 of Impel Down, two t figures crouched, cramped a over due to the limited space, tearing into roasted meat with raint race. Each stood easily over 20 meters tall—several meters taller than Gerd, who was already imposing in stature.

  El, Gerd, and the others stood before them, watg with faint smiles as the brothers devoured the feast.

  They had already harvested all the souls of the Eternal Hell prisoners, even those who had been frozen in isotion but showed signs of life. Except for a few special prisoners Barry had transported to the Mirror World for safekeeping, all of the ihose gathered over the years, numbering ihousands—had bee behind.

  The only prisoners El and his crew decided to release were these two giant brothers.

  It turned out they were both from the same family: the elder brother, Hajik D. Gace, was a 47-year-old giant, standing over 22 meters tall; the younger brother, Hajik D. Jace, was 44 and a little over 21 meters tall.

  By giant standards, they were still young, around the same age as Bask Witt, aniant El had retly rescued.

  “You two really were careless, weren’t you?” Gerd said, folding her arms as she looked up at them. “You’re pirates, out there adventuring. How could you trust people so easily and end up in a pce like this? Serves yht!”

  In the earlier versation, everyone had exged introdus. The giant brad Jace, came from a giant kingdom in the West Blue. Known as the stro warriors in their vilge despite their young age, they had a fierce admiration for the Giant Warrior Pirates of old, especially the legendary warriors “Mountain Beard” and “Waterfall Beard,” whom they saw as role models.

  Inspired by tales of the legendary Giant Warrior Pirates’ advehe brothers had dreamed of making their own names in the world and being as renowned as their idols. Yet, shortly after they set sail as pirates, the Navy had marked them as targets. To their misfortuhey were betrayed by some human crew members they had saved from other pirates. These crew members, who turned out to be CP spies, poisohe giants’ drinks, leading to their capture by the Navy and impriso in Impel Down.

  At full strength, the two giants likely wouldn’t have been subdued so easily.

  “Gerd, you ’t bme us for that…” Gace muttered, scratg his head sheepishly. “Who would’ve guessed humans could be so deceitful?”

  Jace, gnawing on a bone, nodded in agreement. “Exactly! But don’t worry, ime we’ll know better. No one will fool us again!”

  “There better not be a ‘ime,’” Gerd said, shaking her head, exasperated, as she looked at them with disbelief.

  Knowing how the Wover operated, they likely wouldn’t have kept the giants around for long before transferring them to some secret facility fantification experiments.

  The fact that Gad Jace had only been fined for a few months indicated the likely fate of giant pirates in Wover custody: they would either be ensved by the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise or turned into experimental subjects in gover bs.

  “All right, o be too harsh on them, Gerd.”

  El chuckled, adding, “Giants’ rge size does make it easier for others to take advantage of them if they’re not careful…”

  He leased with the potential of this giant duo. Their abilities could rival Hajrudin’s, maybe even surpass him with time, though luck hadn’t been on their side. They’d barely set sail before the Wover intervened, log them up in Impel Down. Otherwise, these two might have made quite a name for themselves.

  “But moving on,” he said with a smile, “this really has been a huge haul.”

  “The Eternal Hell here definitely held some incredible monsters,” he tinued, gesturing to the array of colorful, oddly-shaped Devil Fruits before him. “A few of these Paramecia Fruits are especially impressive.”

  “And who would have thought!” he added with a smirk. “Not only did we find rare A Zoan types, but also Logia and even Mythical Zoans!”

  “The Logia Gas-Gas Fruit? Not bad at all,” he mused, as Uthan, Moss, Barry, and Ryan watched the treasure trove of fruits, each marveling at the haul.

  With the Devil Fruits gathered from the Wover and Marine Headquarters, the Fallen Angel Pirates’ colle had bee remarkably diverse. El khey now had more than enough to empower new crew members and streheir forces as they recruited.

  “Still, Boss El, you guys are incredible…” Gace, the older of the two giants, said with awe. “You everieve Devil Fruits from others?”

  El had gaihe brothers’ deep respeot only had he freed them from their s—s thiough to bind giants, which they themselves had struggled with—but he’d effortlessly broken them apart and tossed the brothers out of their cells like they were mere pebbles. His strength was overwhelming.

  “Of course,” Gerd replied proudly, hands on her hips. “If El were a true giant, he’d be king of our people and unite all giants across the world!”

  She gnced down instinctively at her stomach. If she bore El’s child someday, that child would surely i El’s monstrous talent and strength—and might one day lead the giants. As for the future Totto Land Kingdom? That could be left to Linlin’s child to i.

  “An A Zoan Dragon Fruit, Pteranodon Model?”

  El picked up one uniquely shaped fruit, smiling. “Iing… Now we’ve got a matg pair.”

  Acc to Sally’s records, this fruit had beloo an A Zoan user captured by Marine Admiral Kong ten years ago, back when he was still a didate for admiral. The fruit’s former user, with a bounty exceeding 300 million, had been imprisoned iernal Hell.

  El tossed the fruit in his hand, then turo Moss. “Moss, bring out the A Zoazalcoatlus Pterosaur we took from that CP0 agent.”

  “Right away!” Moss replied, nodding knowingly. He g the giant brothers, who were just starting to cat.

  Before they left Atntis, El had brought along two fruits in case there were giant prisoners in Impel Down. One was the A Zoan Pterosaur they’d taken from a CP0 agent. The other was a dragon-type Zoan suitable for the giants, in case they found any captives with potential.

  As it turned out, the Eternal Hell held areasure: the A Zoan Pteranodon, which erfect match for the giant brothers. Two flying A Zoan forms in the hands of giant warriors would undoubtedly make formidable additions to their crew.

  “I’m sure you both know what Devil Fruits are, so I won’t waste time expining…”

  With a gnce, Moss presehe fruit, while Uthan, Barry, Layne, and Gerd all exged knowing smiles. El walked over to the giant brothers, each hand holding a Devil Fruit, ahem out, smiling.

  “Both of these Fruits will transform you into a winged dragons with the power of flight—one a Pteranodon and the other a Pterosaur.

  “So, what do you say? Care to try them?”
