Summary

While searching for food across Little Garden, Sanji runs into a tyrannosaurus and Zoro squares off against a triceratops, the island clearly teeming with dinosaurs. Aboard the ship, Nami and Usopp freeze in terror when a towering figure named Brogy looms over them asking for rum. He beheads a dinosaur that bit him and boasts of being Elbaph's mightiest fighter, then welcomes the pair as guests, though both are too petrified to do anything but feign death.

Luffy, perched atop a brontosaurus to survey the land, gets swallowed whole, only for a second giant, Dorry, to decapitate the beast and catch him. Dorry also calls himself Elbaph's strongest and invites Luffy and Vivi over. At Brogy's place, the crew learns their Log Pose will need a full year to chart this island. At Dorry's, the giant explains his homeland's custom: disputes that cannot be settled are decided by combat blessed by the gods. He and Brogy have clashed for more than a century, long past remembering what started it.

Key Events

Zoro and Sanji each encounter dinosaurs during their hunt, establishing the island as a living relic of the prehistoric age. Dorry and Brogy step into the story as the franchise's first giants, and their distant home of Elbaph is named for the very first time.

The two warriors are revealed to have battled for a hundred years over a quarrel they have both forgotten, continuing now purely for pride. When the central volcano erupts, the pair resume their duel, and the sheer scale of the giants overwhelms Luffy, who collapses after spending time near them.
