One Piece: Starting with God Valley, intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

"Garp, you've really failed as a father! Didn't you realize that Dragon was planning to defect?"

Garp clenched his fist tightly and said through gritted teeth,

What makes you think the dragon is going to defect?

Giger had lost interest in arguing with Karp, and he said indifferently,

"Just look at my eyes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the flames behind Giger suddenly went out, and his speed increased dramatically. Garp felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and was then blasted into the sea.

Gig floated above the sea, glanced at the calm surface, and was about to turn around and return when the sea below suddenly exploded. Garp burst out of the water with bloodshot eyes, his target Gig in the air.

"Kid! You're getting a bit too arrogant!!!"

Seeing Garp attack again, Giger frowned, and flames reappeared on the back of his neck. He managed to withstand Garp's angry punch with his own body.

Garp's punch was incredibly powerful; even Gigg, who possessed the talents of the Lunaria race and the abilities of the Mythical Zoan type, felt his internal organs tremble after taking such a blow.

However, Garp's face showed a look of horror, because from his perspective, after being punched, Gigg's body only swayed slightly, which was far from what he had expected.

Giger raised his hand to wipe away the trickle of blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth, and laughed.

"That really hurt a bit."

Chapter 143 The battle is over

Capra distanced himself, remained silent for a moment, then looked directly into Gigg's blood-red eyes and spoke.

"Gig, do you really have to kill the dragon?"

Giger slightly shook his neck and said,

"I'll say it one last time, the dragon has committed a capital offense."

At this point, Giggs paused, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Garp opposite him.

"As for you, you are no longer fit to be a navy officer."

Garp paused for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly burst into laughter. After laughing a few times, he clenched his fist and waved it twice, saying,

"Kid, you're not qualified to say that to me!"

Giger stopped responding, grabbed the Muramasa demon sword that was hovering beside him, his blood energy surged, and he disappeared from the spot the next second.

Garp roared and punched to his left, colliding with Muramasa.

As you can see, the space around Muramasa's black blade is in a distorted state. Garp felt as if his punch had been trapped in a vortex, and the speed of his punch decreased accordingly.

Giger flipped his wrist, grabbed Muramasa and lifted him upwards. Garp quickly leaned back to dodge, but was then hit in the abdomen by Giger's knee. Garp's Moon Step faltered, and he almost fell into the sea again.

After this incident, Garp dared not be careless again. He turned around and engaged in combat with Giggs again. This time, Garp's attack was purposeful. He kept raising his position and his punches were mainly smashing blows.

He wanted to smash Gigg, the ability user, into the sea.

It has to be said that Garp's idea is absolutely correct. For Devil Fruit users, no matter how strong they are, once they fall into the sea, they will instantly become powerless to resist.

With no landing spots around, Garp believed this was the best way to quickly take down Giggs.

He was still worried about the dragon left on the ship and wanted to rush back to provide support.

Giggs seemed unaware of this, maintaining a lower profile than Garp. Under Garp's relentless attacks, Giggs' body was getting closer and closer to the sea below.

Garp was secretly delighted upon seeing this, thinking to himself,

"You're still too green, kid!"

Garp punched Gigg a few more times, then seized the opportunity, suddenly extending an arm to encircle Gigg's chest, before hurling him downwards into the sea with all his might, letting out a roar.

"Falling from the Seabed!"

Under this violent force, Giger plummeted downwards like a meteor, accompanied by a loud splash that stirred up a towering wave on the sea surface. Giger's body then completely disappeared into the surging seawater.

Garp stared at the sea for a while, but there was no joy on his face. He sighed and said,

"I'll come back to save you later, if I can still find you."

After saying that, Garp turned and ran towards the ship, his mind solely focused on rescuing the dragon.

Just then, a streak of blood-red light shot out from the sea and immediately merged into the night.

Garp, who was traveling through the air, was completely unaware of what was happening. He muttered to himself as he continued on his way.

"Dragon, wait for me, I'm coming right now..."

puff!

Garp's words came to an abrupt halt. He stared wide-eyed, looking down in disbelief at the black blade tip emerging from his chest, while Gigg's figure appeared behind him like a ghost.

"Vice Admiral Garp, the battle isn't over yet."

Garp slowly turned his head, looking at Giggs, who had a wicked smile on his face, and murmured,

"How could this be... You clearly fell into the sea..."

Giger abruptly pulled out the Muramasa, grabbed Garp by the neck with a scarlet hand, and laughed.

"What does it matter to me, Giger, if people with superpowers are afraid of the sea?"

As he spoke, a bright red light shone from Gigg's hand, and Garp felt his body growing weaker and weaker. His hair was turning gray, whereas before he only had gray hair at his temples.

Garp could feel something rapidly draining from his body, and he deduced that it must be some kind of ability of Giggs. So he struggled to use his Haki to resist and barely managed to stop it.

What he didn't know was that in just a short while, Gigg had extracted nearly twenty-five years of his lifespan, making Garp older than he was in the original timeline.

With his body age increasing so drastically and having just suffered a severe injury, Garp had lost all ability to resist, and his hands hung limply at his sides.

Compared to Garp, Gigg, who had also just gone through a major battle, looked radiant and full of joy.

Giger glanced at Garp, whose eyes were cloudy. He could have easily killed Garp, but considering Garp's influence in the Navy, he gave up the idea.

After all, he was completely in the right this time. After all, it was Garp and his son who committed the crime first, so his actions were entirely reasonable.

As long as he doesn't kill Garp, then his actions can be considered perfectly acceptable.

Looking at Garp, who was now motionless in his hand, Giger smiled slightly.

He had already seen through Garp's plan to knock him into the sea, and the flaw was deliberately revealed by him.

He also wanted to defeat Garp as soon as possible, but his strength was roughly equal to Garp's, and it was unknown when a decisive battle would take place.

So he took advantage of the information gap to make Garp completely relax, and then used the Vampire Fruit's ability to become invisible in the dark to launch a crucial attack on Garp, thus securing his victory.

It just goes to show that empiricism is a killer!

Gigg grabbed Garp by the collar, flapped his wings, and sped off toward the ship.

On the ship, Garp's personal guards had been mostly dealt with by Ginny and the others, and Dragon's situation was not optimistic either. Since his left shoulder blade had been pierced by Gigg, he could only fight Lucia with his right hand.

By now, the dragon's body was covered in knife wounds, and his clothes were stained red with blood, making him look terrifying.

Dragon had no desire to fight and only wanted to find a chance to escape. However, as a user of the Fallen Angel Fruit, speed was Lucia's forte. It was almost impossible for the injured Dragon to escape from her clutches.

If this continues, Lucia will be able to take care of the dragon herself, without even waiting for Ginny's situation to end.

Although the situation had become extremely dire for Long, he still held onto hope because he still had his father!

If we can stall until Garp returns, all the problems will be solved!

As for the possibility that Garp would lose to Giggs, Dragon never even considered it.

Just kidding, his father is Garp, the legendary Marine who killed Rocks and chased Roger all over the sea. How could Gigg, a newly appointed Marine Admiral, possibly be a match for his father?

Chapter 144 Return

The dragon, with only one arm still functional, darted around the deck, avoiding Lucia's attacks whenever possible and only trying to buy time.

Lucia, on the other hand, aimed every strike at the dragon's vital points, having no intention of capturing it alive.

Lucia quickly seized the opportunity and slashed the dragon's back, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. The dragon groaned, rolled on the ground, and left a large pool of bright red blood.

He struggled to his feet and saw Lucia charging toward him again, so he quickly conjured a small tornado and unleashed it.

Lucia immediately unleashed a sword aura that dispersed the tornado. Purple flames surged around her, and her speed increased dramatically as she charged directly in front of the dragon.

She raised the pendant and brought it down on the dragon's head, letting out a low shout.

"die!"

With nowhere to hide, the dragon mustered all his strength and channeled his Haki into his right hand, unleashing a Dragon Claw attack that clashed with Lucia's sword.

However, his current condition was really bad. Although he barely managed to block the fatal blow, it almost exhausted his domineering aura.

He had no choice but to use his abilities to erect a wind barrier. Lucia snorted coldly, about to continue her attack, when at that moment, the dragon seemed to see something, its face filled with wild joy, and it roared.

"Father!"

In the dim sky, a dark shadow was rapidly approaching the ship. The people on board couldn't help but look up. Soon, the shadow's face became clearer; it was Giggs returning with Garp.

Upon seeing this, Garp's few remaining personal guards immediately showed despair, and their weapons clattered to the ground.

Long stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. He even wondered if he was hallucinating because he was so badly injured.

It wasn't until Gigg landed and casually tossed Garp to the ground that the dragon came to its senses.
