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

Jona thought it made sense; people with abilities usually wouldn't bring it up on their own initiative.

She stroked her chin, examined the snowflakes drifting around Monet, and said with interest,

"Snow? That's a beautiful power. Could it be a Logia-type Devil Fruit?"

Monet thought for a moment and said,

"That guy named Disco did say that my Devil Fruit is a Logia-type, called the Snow-Snow Fruit."

Although she had expected it, Jona still exclaimed in surprise after Monet confirmed it.

"It really is a Logia type! Carlos said that Logia-type Devil Fruits are extremely rare, and their abilities are incredibly powerful!"

Monet blinked twice, then extended a finger, with a delicate snowflake swirling around its tip.

To be honest, she didn't think her abilities could be associated with the word "powerful".

Jona said this while helping Sugar take a bath.

"No wonder the young master took a liking to you; he's also a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. It's hardly a secret; it's in the newspapers."

Monet was still a little girl and didn't have the habit of reading newspapers.

She had only heard of the Black Dragon's name, but knew nothing else about him.

So when she heard that Giger was also a Logia-type Devil Fruit user like herself, she felt an even greater sense of kinship with him.

Monet, completely naked, went to a showerhead, turned down the temperature, and began to rinse his body.

In fact, as a user of the Snow-Snow Fruit, she is snow itself, and she will always be clean without needing to take a bath. However, she is, after all, a girl, and she always feels awkward if she doesn't take a bath.

During the rinsing process, Monet casually asked Giger what the fruit was called, and Jona replied that it was the Dark-Dark Fruit.

As for the fact that Giger is also a Vampire Fruit user, very few people know about it. Within the family, only Karin and the deceased Grando know, and outside of them, only Olvia knows.

Unlike snow, a common element, the dark element is a mysterious existence in most people's minds. So even after learning the name of Gigg's fruit, Monet still had no idea about Gigg's abilities.

Even Jona couldn't explain it clearly, only knowing that Giggs' abilities were extremely powerful.

In Monet's mind, when darkness was mentioned, she could only think of the night, and the pitch-black night seemed to have no threat other than scaring her sister Sugar into crying.

Just then, Jona finished washing Sugar, and Monet immediately turned off the shower. The water droplets on her body instantly condensed into frost, which then blended into her skin, making it appear even whiter and more tender.

Jona then used a towel to dry Sugar's body, and then went outside to fetch two brand-new outfits for the two sisters.

This clothing is the uniform worn by servants within the Figarando family. Since many of the servants here are trained from a young age, there are also many smaller sizes available as spares.

The clothes were predominantly white with gold patterns, and the material felt incredibly smooth to the touch. Monet could hardly believe that these were the clothes worn by a servant.

After getting dressed, Monet, holding Sugar, stood in front of a mirror and twirled around. Jona saw this and teased her with a smile.

"Stop being so conceited, I have to take you to see the young master."

Monet blushed, quickly put down the sugar, and walked behind Jona with her head down.

Led by Jona, Monet led Sugar to a magnificent white palace.

Upon arriving here, Jona's expression instantly turned solemn, and she turned to the Monet sisters to remind them,

"This is the palace of the Holy Family Head of the Garin family. The young master will also be here during the day. When you see them later, do not speak without permission, understand?"

The Monet sisters nodded like chicks pecking at rice, their slightly relaxed mood beginning to tense up again.

Especially her older sister, Monet, who swallowed hard; her experience today was truly like a rollercoaster ride.

Although her status remained unchanged—she was still a slave—she now had a master, who was the sole heir to the most powerful family in the world.

She knew very well that the two people her sisters were about to meet were people that ordinary people didn't even have the right or the opportunity to meet!

The two men held such exalted positions that they seemed to stand atop the clouds, unattainable to most.

The thought of meeting such a person soon made her heart race and her palms sweat with nervousness. At the same time, she was filled with anticipation and curiosity, especially about their master, Giger.

It's funny to think about it, but when we were down there, because of the height difference and the fact that her clothes were covering her face, she couldn't see Jig's face clearly at all.

Not only were the Monet sisters nervous, but even Jona, a servant who had been there for many years, couldn't help but feel a little nervous every time she saw the two women in the palace.

This is the oppressive feeling that extreme power brings.

Jona tugged at her clothes, then squatted down and carefully tidied up the Monet sisters.

After tidying up, Jona led the Monet sisters into the bedroom.

Inside the hall, Garin and Giger sat facing each other.

The uncle and nephew, both dressed in matching black robes, were talking.

Jona didn't dare to go forward and disturb them, so she gestured for the Monet sisters behind her to stay with her at the entrance of the hall.

Monet could only suppress his curiosity about Giggs' appearance and, like Jona, lowered his head to wait.

While waiting, she could hear Garin and Giger talking.

“Roswald… Hmph, although he didn’t know your identity beforehand, he should be punished for saying those things.”

"Are you going to kill him?"

“His crime doesn’t warrant death, but it’s necessary to make him bleed.”

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. So, Uncle Garin, how do you want him to bleed?"

“After he comes to confess, punish him with three years of heavenly gold.”

“Sure, it would be a waste to give gold from the sky to a guy like him.”

"He's just a good-for-nothing, let's not talk about him anymore. That guy over there is the slave you bought, right? And that older one is the Logia-type Devil Fruit user you mentioned?"

"Yeah, including her sister, it cost a total of 300 million Berries, it's like getting it for free."

Hearing Giger's voice, Sugar, who was at the door, reached out and tugged at Monet's sleeve, asking softly,

"Sister, were we adopted?"

Chapter 215 Cute Sugar

As soon as Sugar finished speaking, Jona's expression changed drastically. She turned around abruptly and gave Monet a wink. Monet quickly reached out and covered Sugar's mouth.

However, even though Sugar was speaking very softly, both Garin and Giger had hearing far beyond that of ordinary people. Upon hearing Sugar's voice, they both turned their gazes in that direction.

Monet finally saw Giger's face clearly for the first time. He was even more handsome than she had imagined, and he had a unique noble air about him. This air did not come from his appearance, but rather flowed naturally from within.

It should be noted that the Figarando family already possessed excellent genes, and with Gigg having undergone various genetic experiments and being a Vampire Fruit user, his appearance was already close to perfect.

Even a thousand or ten thousand years later, when Monet recalled her feelings when she first met Giguet, she could only describe it with one word: breathtaking!

While Monet was lost in thought, Jona's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. In her opinion, Sugar's behavior just now was a great disrespect.

The servants of the Figarando family all knew that the patriarch, Garin Saint, was a man who valued rules extremely highly. If any servant dared to interrupt him while he was speaking, he would be executed on the spot.

That was indeed the case, but what they didn't know was that with Giger around, Garin would become much gentler.

Garin glanced at the Monet sisters briefly before looking away, while Giger chuckled and waved.

Jona quickly stepped behind the Monet sisters and gave Monet a push.

Monet then snapped out of his daze and quickly led Sugar to Giger.

The aura of Garin and Giger, this uncle and nephew pair, was really too strong. This feeling became even more obvious when the distance closed. Monet subconsciously held his breath, while Sugar hid behind Monet, her little hands tightly clutching the hem of Monet's clothes.

Giger smiled slightly, picked up a bunch of grapes from the fruit plate on the table, and bent down to hand it over.

Needless to say, the quality of the fruit served to people like them is exceptional. Each grape is almost the same size, and each one shines with a captivating luster like a purple pearl, making it incredibly tempting just to look at.

Sugar, who already loved grapes, couldn't help but swallow hard upon seeing them, making a cute gurgling sound, her big, grape-like eyes sparkling with longing.

She resisted the urge to reach out, glanced at Monet, but before Monet could respond, Giger had already placed the grapes in Sugar's arms and whispered,

"Eat."

Sugar couldn't resist any longer. But no matter how eager she was to eat grapes, she still had to pick one and stick it on her finger before putting it in her mouth.

The sweet grape pulp exploded in his mouth. Sugar had never eaten such delicious grapes before, and his eyes squinted with happiness.

This adorable appearance brought a smile to Jig's face, making his already handsome features even more charming and warm.

Monet rubbed her eyes, a strong sense of unreality washing over her. She couldn't reconcile the current Giger with the cold and ruthless one who had been in front of Roswald.

Watching Sugar swallow the grapes in his mouth, Giger shifted his gaze to Monet beside him. Under Giger's gaze, Monet didn't dare to meet Giger's heterochromatic eyes and instinctively lowered her head.

Giger extended a finger and hooked it around Monet's fair chin, making her face him.

Just as Monet felt he was about to faint, Giger finally removed his hand, and Garin, standing nearby, teased him.

"Gig, did you really buy her because she's a Logia-type?"

Giger responded with a smile.

"After all, this is the first person I've ever bought with my own money, so I should take a good look at it."

Monet felt a sudden surge of joy upon hearing this, while Sugar, looking completely bewildered, asked,

"Young Master, where is Lady Lucia?"

These words startled Monet, and Giger also paused for a moment before chuckling.

"You also know Lucia?"
