Maki stared at the giant man as he laughed loudly. Usopp and Nami were hugging each other desperately sobbing.

"So..." he stared down at Nami and Usopp. "What's the answer?" The giant man asked. Maki decided to walk over to Usopp and Nami.

"Wh-what was that? C-could you repeat that one more time?" Nami asked terrified.

The giant moved even closer with his large smile, "I asked if you had any alcohol."

Maki walked over, as Nami and Usopp backed up. When they noticed him they quickly both clung to him, one on each side sobbing.

"S-save us!" Usopp yelled.

"H-he's gonna eat us!" Nami cried.

Maki just glanced up at the giant. "The alcohol we have isn't for drinking." He said, "but you can have it if you want." Nami and Usopp both nodded terrified.

Suddenly the giant screamed loudly, causing Nami and Usopp to scream.

The giant turned around to see a dinosaur biting him.

"Dino..." Usopp mumbled.

"Dinosaur..." Nami finished his sentence for him.

"Oh? An ancient island huh..." Maki just stared at the giant and dinosaur.

The giant man grabbed an axe from his hip, effortlessly turning around and slicing the dinosaur's head off.

Nami and Usopp screamed while sobbing, they both let go of Maki and were instead hugging each other hiding behind him.

The giant man turned around now facing them, holding the dinosaur's head in one hand. "I'm Broggy, the Elbaf's strongest warrior!" He shouted.

He let out a laugh and showed them the dinosaur head smiling. "Now I've got meat, too. I'll treat you, my guests."

Nami and Usopp fell over, Nami had her eyes closed and Usopp pretended to be dead.

Maki just glanced at the two and then back at the giant, Broggy.

"Sure. We'll come with you. I'm actually pretty hungry right now anyways." He just smiled.

"Why...?" Nami and Usopp both mentally sobbed.

Broggy brought Nami and Usopp to a large dinosaur's skull. Where he had straw for bedding underneath it. Nami and Usopp continued to lay there pretending to be asleep.

Maki sat on a rock as Broggy had the dinosaur meat over a fire. Blowing on it to cool it down.

"It looks yummy." Broggy grinned.

"Yeah." Maki smiled staring at the fire.

"Are you friends going to be okay?" Broggy grinned at Maki.

Maki glanced at them, noticing they were moving. "Yeah, I'm sure you just gave them a little fright is all."

Usopp let out a little scream, causing Broggy to turn around. When neither of them moved he turned back towards the fire.

"Hmm... I thought they woke up, maybe it was just my imagination."

As Maki was watching the fire, Nami and Usopp snuck away, quickly taking off.

He glanced back noticing their running, Broggy did as well.

"Oh... your friends are awake!" He stood going, as he slowly went to go after them.

Maki just watched as he left. "Does he really not realize how terrifying he is?" He said to himself as Broggy walked away.
