Swamped

You've been trying to win with only your own strength, but you've concluded that will take too long. You need more force.

You could use magic, but any spell potent enough to threaten a Giant is bound to damage this airship. And you can't think of anything a weaker spell could accomplish that the confiscated slicer can't do without squandering ether.

That suggests your best weapon is the ship itself. It's the one thing around here larger than the Giant, after all.

Unfortunately, the rigging isn't as elaborate as a sailing ship; it's mostly just the ropes tied to the balloon. No mast or crow's nest, either. Maybe you could trick the beast into hitting its head against the cabin, but the cabin might get the worst of that exchange.

The figurehead! That useless thing might be able to deal some damage, and it wouldn't affect the ship adversely at all to be rid of the Master's stupid face. If you can distract the Giant for a while, you may be able to pry it loose.

Well. That's a plan. So how are you to go about it?
