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

Garin raised an eyebrow, only then remembering that he was still sitting on Vochuli's stomach. He flashed to the side with Gig, still ignoring Vochuli.

Satan slowly walked over, scrutinized Gig's face, and said hesitantly,

"Gig Saint, where did you go just now?"

Giger smiled slightly and said,

“I wanted to banish myself to the dark space forever, because I was no match for the corruption of Grandor.”

"Then how did you...?"

Not only Satan, but everyone present looked at Giger with curiosity. Under everyone's gaze, Giger slowly spoke,

“It was the Holy Ancestor Casillas who saved me.”

"Nani!?"

Those present were all considered absolute big shots in the pirate world, but upon hearing this name, they all showed expressions of shock and lost their composure.

Vochuli shouted,

"Impossible! Saint Casillas has been dead for eight hundred years!"

The other four Elders nodded slowly, and even Satan did not utter a word of rebuttal.

Only Garin showed no sign of doubt. He looked directly into Giger's eyes for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Nothing is impossible. Since Joy Boy was able to leave his will within a Devil Fruit, it's not surprising that Saint Ancestor Kaecilius left some backup plan!"

Giger nodded, summoned the demon sword Muramasa, and said,

"Our ancestor left his will within Muramasa. At that time, he used my body to unleash the power of the awakened Dark-Dark Fruit, which is how he finally killed Grando!"

Giger glanced at Vochuli, but he didn't mention that what was left in Muramasa was the last trace of Casillas's will, just so that this guy who liked to oppose the Figarando family would know his place.

Vochuli's face turned ashen, and a sense of fear crept into his heart.

He knew even more about the terror of Casillas than Garin, the head of the Figarand family.

If Casillas hadn't succumbed to his injuries back then, who knows who would be sitting on the "empty throne" now!

If what Giggs said is true, and Kaecilius's will still remain in the world, and can even use Giggs's body to activate his abilities, then wouldn't he, one of the Five Elders, be in danger of dying at any moment?!

Thinking of this, Vochuli glanced at the Muramasa cursed sword in Giger's hand and subconsciously took two steps back...

Chapter 157 Sichuan Opera Face Changing

Looking at the two bloody tear tracks on Giger's face and his scarlet right arm, Garin said with concern,

"Gig, what happened to your face and this arm?"

Giger raised his right arm and stretched it, then smiled faintly.

"This is a gift from my ancestors, Uncle Galin. I'll tell you about it later. There are still guests here!"

The guests that Gigg was referring to were naturally the Five Elders. Apart from Satan, who intervened midway through the event, the other four were spectators for the entire show.

The Five Elders were now looking at Gigg with a very subtle expression, after all, what Gigg had just said was really too intimidating.

If what Gigg said is true, then wouldn't that mean that Gigg can use Kaecilius's power at any time?

Volchuli couldn't help but probe,

"Saint Gigg, would you allow us to see Saint Casillas?"

Giger glanced at him and said indifferently,

"Then you'll have to wait. I need to ask my ancestors first."

At this moment, Vochuli was no longer arrogant as before. He lowered his posture and said respectfully,

"Yes, yes, please convey our message to Lord Casillas. We greatly respect him and it would be our honor to meet him!"

Jig gave a nonchalant reply, then released his grip, allowing the Muramasa demon sword to float in front of him.

Then, he just stared at Muramasa without saying a word, which intimidated the Five Elders so much that they didn't dare to breathe. Even Garin looked at Giger with a nervous expression and even subconsciously rubbed his hands together.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Giger almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Saint Casillas has completely disappeared and can never reappear, so Gigg's current behavior is simply an act.

After watching for a while, Giger shook his head and said,

"No, our ancestor said he needs to rest and recuperate, and should not reveal himself unless absolutely necessary."

Upon hearing this, Vochuli's lips curled up in a smile. He thought to himself, "This kid is indeed bluffing. He's still too green to fool me!"

Thinking of this, he said with a half-smile,

"Oh, I see..."

Before he could finish speaking, his expression froze on his face, and he stared at Giger in horror. Everyone present had the same expression, as if they had witnessed something terrifying.

Giger's black hair moved without wind, and a wisp of black energy shot up from his body. Instantly, the once clear sky darkened, the sun disappeared, and only boundless darkness remained.

Jig's eyes emanated boundless black energy, and he uttered a majestic voice.

"King's Command: Darkness Descends!"

Within the space, countless dark vortexes appeared out of thin air, and the entire Red Earth Continent began to tremble violently.

Not only the Red Earth, but also most of the planet was now shrouded in darkness, with similar scenes appearing everywhere. This was the true end of the world.

Meanwhile, on the Grand Line.

Roger dropped the barrel of wine in his hand with a thud. He looked up at the sky with a solemn expression and drew the long sword from his waist.

All the members of Roger's pirate crew gathered on the deck. Buggy, whose Observation Haki was still lacking, clung tightly to Shanks's clothes and cried out in terror.

"What's going on? Is this the end of the world?"

hum!

Roger unleashed his full Conqueror's Haki, and Rayleigh, Jabba, and Barrett also unleashed theirs, forcefully tearing a gap in the darkness above.

Rayleigh frowned, turned to Roger, and said...

"Roger, do you know what's going on?"

Roger closed his eyes, activating his ability to hear the voice of all things. After a while, he opened his eyes and said with a grim expression,

"No, my Observation Haki has failed. What exactly is this darkness?"

Not only Roger's crew, but also Whitebeard, Big Mom, and other powerful figures felt the terror of this darkness at this moment.

Those ubiquitous dark vortexes could unleash destructive power at any moment, yet they would suddenly begin to close, the darkness receding like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, everything would return to normal.

The whole process lasted less than ten seconds, but it left an indelible shadow in everyone's hearts.

Apart from Garin and the Five Elders, no one knows the source of this anomaly.

At this moment, the Five Elders stood around Gigg like five statues, staring intently at him.

Giger took a deep breath, trying his best not to show any unusual expression on his face.

Even he was startled by the power he had just displayed.

It turns out that he had just used a tiny bit of Casillas's power that he hadn't fully utilized, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying when used in the outside world.

He completely misjudged the situation; this was something that Devil Fruit Awakening could not achieve at all!

Unlike in the dark space earlier, Kaecilius had completely disappeared, and this time Giggs truly experienced the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Although it was just a trial card, it gave Gigg, who had no clue about the awakening of the Dark-Dark Fruit, a glimmer of understanding, and his control over darkness became even stronger.

While Giger was immersed in the feeling of that power, Vochuli and the others finally came to their senses, and they were all covered in a cold sweat from the shock.

Vochuli swallowed hard and said cautiously,

"Saint Giger, was that Lord Casillas just now...?"

Giger responded calmly.

"Well, although our ancestor cannot appear in person, he can demonstrate his power through my body. Otherwise, some people might really think he is dead."

Volchuli gave an awkward laugh and said,

"How could that be? We all witnessed that power just now. Anyone who thinks he's dead, I'll be the first to deal with them!"

Satan Saint behind him cast a disdainful glance at Vochuli, who noticed it but didn't dare utter a sound.

Of course, he had already cursed Satan in his mind again and again.

He now even suspects that Satan knew from the beginning that Casillas had a backup plan, otherwise why would he have been so supportive of the Figarando family all this time?

Now look what's happened! I've really become the clown this time!

That's Casillas! He's from the same era as Im, one of the original twenty shareholders, and the most popular one at that!

This is the kind of person who has been awakened by this brat, Giger!

Vochuli, recalling his past actions against the Figarando family, felt as if he were about to cry but had no tears left.

Nasujuro and his two companions, who had always maintained a neutral stance towards the Figarando family, stepped forward. Nasujuro, leading the group, smiled and said to Giger,

"Saint Giger, thank you for eliminating such a scourge as Gulando for the Holy Land. I'm planning to host a victory celebration banquet for you in the Holy Land tonight. What do you think?"
