A few days ago.
New World, a certain small island.
The town, enclosed by high walls, was as peaceful and tranquil as ever.
People lived freely within it, seemingly carefree.
But on this day... "Boom!"
A deafening explosion came from outside the towering city wall.
The sudden loud noise startled the residents, who had been living peacefully in the town, and they all looked towards the source of the sound.
Then, in the next moment.
The originally sturdy city gate was suddenly smashed by an enormous force, tearing away from the towering city wall and whistling into the town, shattering a series of houses and sending countless broken stones and bricks flying everywhere.
People watched in horror.
At the top of the towering city wall, a giant, grinning face slowly emerged.
"Humans! If you don't want to die! Hand over all your valuables immediately! Otherwise... I will destroy this country!!"
Looking at that suddenly appearing ferocious giant face.
All the residents in the town felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies chilling.
On this day, people finally remembered the terror of being dominated by giants.
"Oh no! It's the Giant Pirate! Everyone, run!"
"Boom!"
Another even louder roar.
The city wall, built over a hundred years ago precisely for these Giant Pirates who frequently came to plunder, burst open under the Giant Pirate's huge hammer.
A twenty-meter-tall giant, carrying a large hammer, strode into the town with a strange laugh.
Wherever he went, he didn't even need to swing his weapon.
With just his two huge legs, he could easily crush the houses underfoot, which averaged less than six meters in height, into pieces.
"Ga ha ha ha ha! Humans! What a weak race! Even with just my strength alone, I can easily destroy this entire kingdom of yours! Yet, you weaklings, like ants, occupy most of the world's territory; no matter which corner of the sea you go to, you can find you weaklings."
"This world should belong to our Giant Race!"
"Now, all I want are your treasures and food! If you know what's good for you and don't want to be crushed by me, hurry up and hand over your things!"
The Giant Pirate laughed wildly, casually swinging a club downwards.
The fleeing crowd only heard a thunderous crash.
The tallest building in the town, the ancient clock tower that had existed for hundreds of years, was smashed by his club and broke in half. More than half of its roof flew far away, crashing onto the street and causing a chorus of screams.
Wherever the giant went, chaos ensued in the town.
The terrified crowd was unable to organize any decent resistance, scattering like birds.
Perhaps out of his own malicious amusement.
Perhaps annoyed by the screams of the humans before him.
The Giant Pirate suddenly bent down, bringing a greasy giant face close to the street, and in front of a small boy, extended his large hand and grabbed a woman next to him.
The little boy watched, his eyes splitting with rage, screaming in terror.
"Mama!! No!! Let her go!"
"Ga ha ha ha ha! Let go? No, no, no, this is my food, and I'm about to enjoy this breakfast now."
The Giant Pirate chuckled strangely, holding the woman, who was terrified to the point of collapse, and slowly moving her towards his wide-open mouth.
Watching that increasingly close, gaping maw, larger than the woman herself.
The woman in his hand struggled desperately, screaming incessantly, trying to break free.
But the strength of ordinary humans, compared to an adult Giant Race member, was more than a thousand times weaker.
The woman's struggle was as ridiculous as an ant held in a human's hand.
"Mama!!" On the street, the little boy's eyes were wide open to their limit, watching helplessly as his Mama was about to be thrown into the giant's mouth.
In his young heart, there was only one thought at this moment.
That was... "One day, I will drive out every single giant! I will destroy Elbaf! I will kill all of the Giant Race!"
Seeing the monstrous hatred in the little boy's eyes, the Giant Pirate stopped his actions and burst into wild laughter.
"Ga ha ha ha! Just kidding! I'm a giant, not a beast; I'm not so desperate for food that I'd eat humans. Ga ga ga, you Little Brat humans, you're really easy to fool..."
Before the Giant Pirate finished speaking.
An even larger demonic shadow suddenly crossed the collapsed city wall and appeared behind him.
Its mountain-like massive body obscured the sky above the Giant Pirate's head, casting a shadow like a horned demon god.
In an instant.
A chilling terror that made his heart tremble ran down the Giant Pirate's spine from his head.
The crowds below him, who had originally been scattered and fleeing in fear.
Now, they stopped fleeing.
Everyone turned around, their eyes wide with shock and bewilderment.
Those pairs of eyes were filled with despair as they looked behind him.
Feeling the icy killing intent behind him, the Giant Pirate stiffly turned his head.
"Who...?"
No sooner had his question left his lips than a giant fist slammed into his face, hitting him squarely.
With a crunch.
The Giant Pirate let out a miserable howl, his nasal bone instantly collapsing.
His entire face was covered by a giant fist, his neck twisted from the blow, and his whole body flew backward.
Just as his massive body was about to be thrown through the air, crushing a section of houses below.
At this moment.
The fist pressing against his face pulled downwards.
The seemingly enormous arm, with perfectly controlled force, yanked the Giant Pirate, who was about to fly out, back down, pressing his large face with the fist and smashing him onto the open ground beside the city wall.
The Giant Pirate's back slammed heavily onto the ground with a loud thud, shaking the entire town.
The woman clutched by the giant was also thrown away.
Her fragile body was about to fall from a height of over ten meters and hit the ground.
Another immensely broad hand suddenly reached out, then quickly stopped, transitioning from extreme motion to extreme stillness, stopping instantly beneath the woman and steadily catching her as she fell, gently placing her on the ground.
The terrified woman and her screaming son rushed into each other's arms, crying bitterly.
That large hand retracted under the fearful gaze of the mother and son, clenching into a fist, and along with another enormous fist, repeatedly smashed down onto the Giant Pirate's body.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A series of teeth-grinding, muffled explosions erupted under the two giant fists.
Accompanied by streaks of blood and earth-shattering screams and pleas for mercy, they echoed throughout the entire town.
"Stop! Please stop, Your Majesty Harald! You're going to kill me!"
"Why do you still not understand? Why do you repeatedly do such things?! When will you trash finally understand!"
