The New Giant Warrior Pirates

Crocodile was holding the detached head of Buggy by the hair, aiming his golden hook at his neck while the clown's entire body was on the ground under Crocodile's foot.

"Wait a minute! Take anything you want except for my life!" Buggy pleaded for mercy through tears, his face battered and bloodied "Hey, please! I'll do anything, I'll even lick your shoes! Please!!"

"Tsk, stop acting so pathetically, it's no gonna get you out of this situation. You said you're gonna pay me back when you start making some money out of your business, hmm, Buggy? From the look of it, you must be making a shit tone of money from your pirate dispatch organization" Crocodile said while looking at Buggy in disdain "On top of that you attack us out there, you better start thinking of better ways to beg for your life, otherwise you're done for"

"It might seem like that, but I actually barely make any profit because of the number of employees I have to take care of and pay!!" Buggy stated with tears in his eyes "Please Crocodile! I'll do anything just spare my life!"

"Then, should I just kill you and have Kai extract your devil fruit? It might fetch me a few millions if I sell it in the Black-market" Crocodile said with a low and threatening voice.

"KYAAAH!! Stop! Stop!"

Seeing that fighting back is hopeless, Galdino, Alvida, Mohji and Cabaji decided to switch sides and work for Crocodile instead.

"Hey, Boss!" Galdino approached Crocodile nervously "I'm so happy to serve you again after a long time!"

"You bastard! Are you betraying me, Galdino?!"

"Hmph, I don't remember becoming your subordinate, Buggy!"

"You traitor!"

"…"

"Buggy is finished, what should we do now?" Mohji asked.

"I guess I'll serve Crocodile" Cabaji said.

"We're left with no options... Sigh!... Such a cold world we live in" Alvida sighed, gazing at the scene.

"If you have nothing else to add then I'll finish you off" Crocodile said.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! How about this, I have a lot of henchmen working for me who put me in high regards. If you spare my life, I'll work for you for free, what you say?" Buggy proposed.

"I guess that's the only valuable thing you've got out here…I'll get rid of you if you become useless, do you understand?"

"YES!!!"

...

"You are strong indeed, 'Red Demon' Eustass Kai. I'll hear you out first, then I will decide what to do" Hajrudin rose to his feet, brushing off the dust from his clothes. He crossed his arms and listened to Kai with a curious expression.

"It will be worth your time, Hajrudin" Kai said, breaking into a grin before he started speaking "Tell me, do you want to become the King of Giants?"

Hajrudin's attention was piqued when he heard those words. He narrowed his eyes at Kai for a moment before asking "How did you know that?"

"Just a guess, you look like the type of man who has a great ambition" Clearly, Kai was aware of this fact from his past life's experiences. He then turned back to Krieg and asked him "Do you have that thing on you?"

"Yeap..." Krieg reached for his coat's inside pocket and retrieved a grey-colored, orange like fruit that has swirling patterns and tossed it to Kai.

Kai swiftly grabbed it and then turned back to Hajrudin "If you want to become a king you will need a few things...power, reputation and support. And I so happened to have a plan for you to achieve all these conditions"

"That's!!--" Hajrudin and the other giants were amazed when they saw the fruit in Kai's hand.

"A devil fruit?!" Gerd remarked.

"So the devil fruit hunting rumors were true" Road remarked. He is a slender skinned giant with long dark blue hair which covers the entire right side of his face. He wears a dark gray buttoned coat lined with fur, dark gray pants lined with fur at the bottom, a wide brown belt with a big yellow skull buckle, light grey-blue shoulder plates covered with bumps, and a large yellow cape with lighter yellow vertical stripes. He also wears a very long yellow striped scarf around his neck which covers it and his mouth, brown gloves on his hands, and an extremely long katana strapped on his belt.

"I heard you guys can steal abilities from their users just like the Blackbeard Pirates, but I found such a thing hard to believe...but it was true after all" Hajrudin said in amazement.

The fruit that Kai was holding is Silver Axe's Special Paramecia, Silver-Silver Fruit. It allows the user to create, control, and transform into silver.

Unlike Blackbeard, even though Kai acknowledges the advantages of devil fruit powers. However, he believes it's unwise for the whole crew to consume them, considering pirates spend most of their time at sea and losing the ability to swim could be detrimental, especially in certain situations where they would have to fight at sea.

So, Wyper and Saga will refrain from eating one for those reasons. It's also because they are not interest in them as well, Saga is a traditional swordsman who aspire to become stronger with his own strength and Wyper believes that Haki and Dials are enough for him to get stronger.

"This is how you're gonna become stronger. This fruit used to belong to the infamous Silver Axe, I'm sure it will make you stronger" Kai told him.

"You want to give such a rare and valuable thing, why? This is the first time we meet, why are you trying to make us join you?" 

"I want the giants support, and what's better than having the support of the new generation?" Kai said, he then added "that's not all, if you can gain a reputation and the respect of your fellow giants from Elbaf, it will make it easier for you to become a king"

"I'm listening"

"I'm planning to take down the Emperor Big Mom, I know about the history between you. If you join me, you'll have a chance for revenge and restore the pride of Elbaf...the other giants will surely respect you for that and you might even become a champion" Kai smirked as he observed the stunned expressions on Hajrudin and the other giants' faces. They stared at him in disbelief, mouths agape, unable to comprehend that a young pirate would dare challenge an Emperor of the Sea like Big Mom.

"Unbelievable, you think you can defeat that monster Big Mom?" Gerd asked him.

Hajrudin met Kai's serious and confident gaze with a smile before replying "You're serious aren't you?...I'm guessing that you will support me in becoming the King of Giants after growing strong enough..."

"...such a weird coincidence, red haired people keep connecting with Elbaf and the giants..." Hajrudin closed his eyes, taking a deep breath "If what you say is true, then I'm ready to support you!!" He declared.

"--Are you sure about this, Hajrudin?!" Gerd asked him.

"Yes, I am sure about this. I have seen your strength, Eustass Kai, you were holding back a lot in our earlier clash. I Hajrudin, a proud warrior of the Elbaf Tribe and Captain of the New Giant Warrior Pirates pledge loyalty to you!!!" Hajrudin declared "From now on we will protect your back and support you in your future battles!!"

Kai tossed the Silver-Silver Fruit to Hajrudin, who caught it with ease, giving it a thorough look-over "I owe you now, you have my atmost gratitude for this" he said, before shoving the tiny fruit into his mouth and gulping it.

"Don't worry about it, we're friends now" Kai said.

"Do you feel anything?" Stansen asked, he is a bulky giant with muscular arms, a black beard, a thin mustache, and a crescent scar under his right eye. He wears a hat with flaps on the sides, a leather armband on each arm, and jeans. He also carries a giant hammer as a weapon of choice.

"..." Hajrudin paused briefly, eyes shut tight. When he opened them, a solemn expression crossed his face as he unleashed his devil fruit power for the first time.

He unconsciously knew how to use it as his right fist shot a liquid silver and from it, he shaped a giant silver spear.

"Wow!!"

"Boss! You can manipulate silver now!" Goldberg exclaimed in excitement. He is a very rotund giant with dark orange hair and a wide mouth. He wears green plaid suspenders with dark stripes, a grey cape with a flower buckle, and a viking helmet, and lacks a shirt. He also wears a belt across his chest. He holds a blue and yellow striped shield, with eyes and a mouth with a very large tongue and a mace whose length rivals his height with a very long handle that balloons closer to the end.

"Amazing!!" The giants looked at him in awe.

"This is the first time I see a giant with a fruit power" Krieg remarked.

"With his size and natural strength, he'll gain monstrous power" Wyper noted, observing the scene with interest.

"Is this a Logia?" Hajrudin asked Kai.

"I think it's a Special Paramecia, but it acts similarly to a Logia" Kai himself wasn't sure about that.

For the next few minutes, Hajrudin kept testing his new power. After he finished, he looked very satisfied before he shifted his attention back to Kai and asked him "Can you tell me more about your plan to take down Big Mom?"

"We'll speak about that in details later on, for now let's leave this place" Kai, Wyper, Krieg and the giants proceeded to leave the tent and Buggy Town, making their way back to their ships.

"Oh, yeah! Now I remember you, young man!" Stansen said as he leaned towards Kai with a smile "You were one of the captains who attacked the Human Auction House in Sabaody a year and half ago, right?!"

"Oh! You're the giant that was with Rayleigh back then, I couldn't recognize you at all" Kai responded, pretty surprised at this coincidence.

"Thanks to the chaos you guys created back then I was able to escape! Gyadadadada! I'm grateful that we meet again, seems that fate have brought us here! I'll make sure to pay you back brother!"

Near the island shores, they were a few ships anchored among them, the Victoria Punk, the Sea Scourge and the New Giant Warriors large vessel that made the other ships look like a tiny boat in comparison.

The giants crew's Jolly Roger is a skull with a helmet with two horns, and with two crossed swords underneath. The design is similar to that of the original Giant Warrior Pirates, with the only difference this shows the base of the helmet.

As for their ship, it's called The Naglfar.

It's a Viking ship with a bovinae skull figurehead over a plethora of feathers. It has numerous wooden shields at its outer rail with different designs, with several slim oars beneath them. It has a large a structure that resembles the huts seen on Elbaf, with a matching figurehead on the front of the roof. It has two masts at either end of the ship, each have a sail and a crow's nest. The front sail features an image of a Nordic dragon, and the second has vertical dark and light stripes. It is a very large ship, fitting its crew of giants.

"Cool ship!" Kai looked at it in admiration, he was a fan of the Vikings and their culture back in his previous life.

"Thanks, it's called The Naglfar. Named after the mythical Naglfar, a boat that said to be made entirely from the fingernails and toenails of the dead"

"That's pretty cool"

"What about your ship?"

"That's the Victoria Punk…it's named after a close friend who passed away a long time ago"

"I see"

Aboard the Victoria Punk, a few henchmen were sitting on the deck before they noticed Kai's return along with the giants.

"They're back!"

"How did it go Chief?!"

"As planned!" Kai responded.

"Are we leaving right now?!"

"We'll set sail once Crocodile is done with Buggy!"
