A land where the giant world tree 'Yggdrasil' rises, tearing through the clouds. Elbaph, the sacred land of the giants that had only been told of in legends, finally revealed its majestic form before the Straw Hat Pirates. As the Thousand Sunny, having finished the desperate struggle at Egghead, pierced through the fog and reached the shore, an overwhelming energy enveloping the entire island sent shivers down their spines. "We're finally here, at the island of the giants." Standing at the bow of the Thousand Sunny, Captain Luffy's eyes shone sharper than ever. Behind him, Zoro and Sanji held their weapons, wearing heavy smiles. The welcome was rough from the start. Beasts of unimaginable size and giant creatures roared as if rejecting the intruders, lunging at the crew. But to the crew who had braved the seas of the New World, it was merely a prelude. Zoro's blades sliced through the air and Sanji's flames erupted, subduing the island's massive ecosystem in an instant. As the crew advanced, treading upon the grand earth, the sound of massive footsteps shaking the ground echoed through the air. "Gahahaha! I've been waiting for you, Straw Hat Luffy!" "Gegyagyagya! Welcome to the home of warriors!" The moment of peace was brief. The sound of someone's footsteps could be heard from behind. The owner of those footsteps was Guest.
