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

He answered calmly.

"I wouldn't say I know him, but I just had a fight with him a few days ago."

Tiger Light is drifting on the high seas, and the news birds have never encountered him, so they haven't received any news of Roger and Whitebeard's battle with the Navy.

But from Giger's attitude just now, he could tell that Giger and Roger were clearly on opposing sides.

And the one who opposes pirates is naturally the Navy.

Thinking of this, Tiger tentatively asked,

"Brother Giger, are you perhaps a navy officer?"

Giger yawned and suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him.

This puzzled Giger. Lately, he had been thinking about this all the time, wanting to sleep every now and then, and sleeping very soundly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bumped into the slave ship that Tiger was on.

For someone with energy far exceeding that of ordinary people, this was definitely an extraordinary thing.

He rubbed his temples and casually hummed in agreement.

Upon confirmation, Tiger couldn't help but recall Jebt's behavior before his death; that guy must have known Gigg's identity.

Even a cruel and vicious human trafficker like Jebt showed such fear, and was so terrified that he couldn't finish his sentence and only managed to say the word "black".

The color black is associated with the navy, and a name instantly popped into Tiger's mind.

Admiral Black Dragon!

Most people do not know the real names of the admirals, only their code names.

The codename "Black Dragon" is already world-renowned.

He is the youngest and also the most powerful admiral.

Based on Gigg's characteristics, Tiger was almost 100% certain that the young man standing in front of him, Gigg, was none other than Admiral Black Dragon!

Thinking of this, Tiger's gaze toward Giger immediately changed.

However, Giger had no energy left to pay attention to Tiger. He lay down on his own, took out the black-covered Bible again, and pressed it against his face, muttering in a low voice,

"I'm really sleepy, you can stay here by yourself for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, to Tiger's astonishment, a ball of flame shot out from the back of Giger's neck and surged into the engine compartment.

Before Tiger could even react, the speedboat beneath him shot off like an arrow.

Chapter 185 Departure for Fishman Island

After the speedboat had been speeding across the sea for half a day, Tiger, who had regained some strength, sat up straight and looked at Gigg, who was lying opposite him in a deep sleep.

Suddenly, strange phenomena appeared on Giger's body.

A plume of white smoke rose from his right arm, and his sleeve was quickly melted by the intense heat, revealing the arm below that was shimmering with a scarlet light.

Spiral black lines seemed to have a life of their own, slowly wriggling on the arm.

Tiger stared wide-eyed, barely daring to breathe, until signs of melting began to appear in the cabin below Giger's right arm, at which point he had no choice but to try calling out to Giger.

However, Giger was sleeping so soundly that even when Tiger finally yelled out, he showed no sign of waking up.

Left with no other choice, he reached out to touch Giger, but as soon as he touched Giger's body, he felt a strong burning sensation on his hand, and a sizzling sound came from it.

He endured the pain and pushed Giger away forcefully, then quickly pulled his hand back. His palm was now covered in blisters from the burn, looking quite gruesome.

Fortunately, Giger woke up because of his push, and when he opened his eyes and removed the Bible from his face, his right arm returned to normal.

Upon waking, Giger raised a hand to his forehead, then slowly lowered it, looked up at Tiger, and asked with a frown,

"You just pushed me, didn't you? What's wrong?"

Tiger pointed at Giggs' face and exclaimed in surprise,

"You, your eyes..."

Giger paused for a moment, then, without asking Tiger, took out a mirror from the Dark Bible and looked at his face.

In the mirror, he saw that the pupil of his right eye had turned into a dazzling gold.

This sudden change left Giger himself somewhat bewildered.

Tiger then came over and told Giger what had just happened to him. After listening, Giger raised his scarlet right arm and looked at it, his expression becoming slightly serious.

It seems that all these changes began after he used the power of his right arm during his fight with Whitebeard.

Perhaps I should go see Vegapunk for a checkup.

Thinking of this, Gigg subconsciously got up to use Kamui, but instead saw Tiger staring at him expectantly.

Giggs raised an eyebrow, temporarily abandoning the idea of ​​using Kamui, and instead asked Tiger,

Where are you going next? Will you continue your travels?

Tiger shook his head honestly and said,

"No, I want to go back to my hometown, Fishman Island, to rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Giger thought to himself that it was perfect, since Fishman Island was located just below the Red Line, making it convenient for him to travel.

He didn't want his trip to end so abruptly. Apart from his right pupil turning gold and occasional drowsiness, he didn't feel anything else unusual.

Why not take this opportunity to visit Fishman Island, and then use Kamui to go directly to Vegapunk?

So Giger spoke up.

"Yes, I can take you back; it's on my way anyway."

Tiger was overjoyed upon hearing this. Although he had regained some strength, he really didn't dare to swim back alone in this state after his previous experience.

However, he didn't dare to hope that Admiral Giger would send him back, after all, Giger had just saved his life, and he was already extremely grateful.

So when Tiger heard Giggs say they would take him back, he immediately knelt down and shouted,

"Thank you so much!"

Jiger waved his hand and said,

"No need for that. As the saying goes, if you're going to help someone, help them to the end. ... Never mind, sit tight, I'm going to speed up."

That being said, Giger gave Tiger no chance to prepare. The flames behind his neck suddenly intensified, the speedboat abruptly turned around, and a huge and thick pillar of fire spewed from its stern, containing terrifyingly high temperatures. Wherever it passed, large amounts of seawater were instantly evaporated into water vapor.

Immediately afterwards, a series of deafening sonic booms resounded all around. Propelled by the powerful engine, the speedboat shot forward at an astonishing speed like a burning meteor, leaving only a long trail behind it.

With his hands in his pockets and one foot on the bow of the boat, Giggs looked incredibly cool, but Tiger, who was lying behind him, was in a much worse situation.

He lay sprawled on the ground in a U-shape, his already wide mouth now stretched to its limit, almost reaching his ears. A strong stream of air poured into his open mouth, rendering him unable to utter a sound.

Fortunately, his physical condition was quite good. After adapting to this speed, apart from feeling a little uncomfortable, it did not have any negative impact on his body.

This speedboat was specially built for Giger by the Navy Headquarters, so the materials are naturally extremely sturdy, and the power is needless to say. Giger just needs to step on... no, just start the fire.

In less than half a day, Gigg arrived at the edge of the Red Earth.

Giger stretched his limbs slightly, then turned to Tiger, who was pressed against the ground, and said...

"Alright, to..."

"Wow!"

Before Giger could finish speaking, Tiger suddenly stood up, leaned over the edge of the speedboat, stuck his head out, and vomited until he vomited bile before finally calming down.

After vomiting, Tiger remained lying down, looking like a dehydrated salted fish.

Giger shrugged and said,

"The speed is a bit fast, but you should be more comfortable in the seawater."

Tiger nodded weakly and said feebly,

"Yes, I'll go down right away..."

"No need, I'll go with you, you'll have to give me directions."

After saying that, Giger pressed down slightly on the bow of the boat, shoving it directly into the seawater. Then he released flames again, and the speedboat slid down into the water.

After entering the sea, Tiger immediately felt more alert, but he still felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly, he realized—wasn't Gigg a Devil Fruit user? This speedboat didn't have any coating!

He turned his head sharply and saw that Giger was still standing steadily at the bow of the ship as if nothing had happened.

Because of being in the sea, Giger's hair was all flowing upwards.

Then, to Tiger's astonishment, Gigg actually opened his mouth in the seawater and made a clear sound.

"Don't just stand there, point me in the right direction."

Tiger was starting to doubt his existence. It was already outrageous enough that a Devil Fruit user could move freely in the sea, but there was something even more outrageous: Giger could breathe underwater and even talk!

Also, won't the flame behind him go out?

Has humanity evolved to this extent?
