The Clowns encounter a Giant who lays unconsciously on a gigantic raft before they split. They all look at the Giant and some of them are afraid because they have never seen a Giant before. They get closer to the Giant after Buggy ordered them to.

The Giant is a male with long dark blue hair tied in a Viking braid ponytail. He has a pretty long dark blue beard that is also braided in Viking style with red Ornaments. The Clowns are sure that they can hide inside the Giant's beard & hair because of their length.

For clothes, the Giant wears a blue vest with yellow & gold accents. He wears black pants with a hole on his left knee and a pair of leather boots. There's also a pair of 2-handed Axe on his back and he lays on them.

"Hey, Giant, are you sleeping?" asks Buggy after getting closer to the Giant.

The Giant doesn't respond and just stays still on his raft. Buggy jumps on the raft and calls the Giant many times near his ears. But the Giant doesn't wake up at all and just lay there. He is also looking very pale, like a sick person.

"Is he dead?" asks Ruff.

"No, I can hear his heartbeat, although it's weak, so he is still alive. Maybe I need to shock him so he'll wake up," says Enel.

"DON'T!" shouts the others.

"You will just make him angry and he will attack us after that. Besides, we never attack someone that doesn't attack is first," says Cricket.

"Then what should we do?" asks Enel.

The others don't know how to answer that question because they also don't know what to do.

Ruff suddenly says, "Maybe we just need to leave him he-"

*RUMBLE*

Suddenly a loud thundering sound is heard and it surprises everyone.

"GYAH! I'M SORRY, I WON'T LEAVE HIM HERE," shouts Ruff panicky because he thinks it's his fault.

"Strange, there's no dark cloud, so where's that sound come from? Is it you?" asks Palu to Enel.

"No, why should I do something useless like that?" asks Enel back.

Palu knows that Enel doesn't lie, so he ponders, "So what is-"

*RUMBLE*

It is heard again and now they all realize the source of it. They look at the Giant's stomach and then the sound is heard again as the Giant's stomach vibrates. It is the sound of this Giant's stomach because he is hungry and it makes them sweatdrops.

"What a loud stomach," says Jude.

"Mantis, cook something for him. He must be very hungry that he can't stay conscious," orders Buggy.

Mantis nods and goes to their kitchen to cook something. Buggy then orders Manba to check on the Giant's condition too. The others are also inspecting the Giant as it is the first time they see someone this big.

"Why'd you bother to help someone you don't know? We are pirates, not a group of saints," asks Enel confusedly.

"Of course, we are no saints. But we all still have feelings & sympathy. I never felt the hunger that made me unconscious in my life. But I know how it feels to be alone and almost dead without being able to do anything. It is the worst feeling and I can't see someone with that condition. So I'll help them even if I can only give them food," says Buggy.

Buggy just said about his past life as Bob. He was alone and doesn't have anyone in his life at that time. That's why having his crew & friends is the best thing in this life for him and he always tried to protect them by making them strong.
