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

Carlos nodded and said,

"Well, it is a bit late. Um, Jona, I didn't mean to ignore you when we were there today. After all, Lord Garin and the young master were there."

“I know, Captain Carlos, I’m just a maid, you didn’t need to pay special attention to me!”

Carlos quickly waved his hand, almost blurting out,

"You can't say that. I've never thought of you as a maid."

Jona blinked twice upon hearing this and asked,

"So what do you think of me?"

Carlos responded, his eyes darting away.

"Uh, I just watched it normally!"

After he said that, the atmosphere immediately became extremely awkward, and even Gigg felt embarrassed for Carlos.

That's right, Giger had been standing next to the two of them for quite some time now, using the invisibility ability of the Vampire Fruit. Although Carlos was quite strong, he still hadn't noticed Giger's presence.

After all, even Garp fell victim to this ability back then.

Chapter 217 A Few Things About the Clan Land

Just as Carlos was embarrassed and wanted to disappear into the ground, a voice rang out beside him.

"Carlos, how can someone like you become the captain of the First Division?"

Carlos was startled and instantly covered his entire body with Armament Haki, giving Jona a demonstration of turning into a black man in an instant.

However, he quickly came to his senses. Wasn't that the young master's voice?

Jona immediately recognized it. At this moment, she acted as if she had been caught doing something wrong, her face full of panic, standing there helplessly.

Giggs emerged from the night like a ghost, tilting his head and teasingly remarking...

"Great, I didn't expect to catch a pair of philandering cats."

Upon Gigg's appearance, Carlos and Jona's expressions changed, and they both knelt down.

"Little Lord!"

A playful smile curled at the corner of his lips as Giger looked down at the two kneeling before him and said,

"What? Are you bowing down to heaven and earth in front of me? I can't accept this."

Carlos swallowed hard, and blurted out something as if by magic.

"Young Master is our heaven and earth!"

Jona looked at Carlos in shock, thinking to herself, "You're usually so eloquent, aren't you? Why couldn't you say a word to me just now?"

Even Gigg was taken aback by Carlos's words.

Gigg had originally intended to scare the couple, but Carlos's sudden remark made him laugh, and he lost that intention.

He raised his hand, gesturing for Carlos and Jona to get up, but neither of them dared to.

Jiger laughed.

"It's just dating, what are you afraid of?"

Carlos responded in a muffled voice.

"Young Master, I have neglected my post and violated the rules."

"You are honest."

"I dare not deceive the young master!"

Carlos's main strength is his sincerity, and Jona next to him also admitted her mistakes, just like Carlos.

Giger stroked his chin and asked,

"Did you tell Garin about what happened between you two?"

Carlos answered truthfully.

"Not yet. I plan to tell Lord Karin Satoshi after we've confirmed our relationship."

His words were tantamount to a direct confession, and Jona blushed instantly upon hearing them, stealing a glance at Carlos.

Giger wasn't one to break up a couple, so seeing the situation, he spoke up directly.

"Alright, Carlos, go and report this to Garin Sei later. Don't forget you're the captain of the First Division."

After saying that, Giger vanished in a flash, leaving Carlos and Jona standing there staring at each other in disbelief.

Upon returning to his palace, Jig flipped his wrist, and a bright red cantaloupe appeared in his hand.

This is the Heat-Heat Fruit that he obtained from Charlotte Owen, which is considered an extremely powerful Devil Fruit even among Paramecia-type Devil Fruits.

He had been thinking of giving the Heat-Heat Fruit to Carlos, since Carlos had always followed Garin and was extremely loyal to the Figarando family.

However, giving it to him so hastily would be too hasty, and Giger wanted to wait and see.

After putting away the Heat-Heat Fruit, Giger walked to the door of his bedroom, but when he opened the door, two screams rang out from inside.

Giger looked closely and found that Monet and Sugar were actually in his room.

Both little ones were barefoot with delicate white feet. Monet stood in front of the wardrobe, which still had a thin layer of frost on it. She was holding a clean white towel, clearly wiping the wardrobe.

Sugar was kneeling on the ground, holding a towel in both hands, with a fine layer of sweat on her fair forehead.

Jig walked silently, and when he opened the door, the two little ones who were busy cleaning the room were startled.

Coming to his senses, Monet quickly bowed to Giger and whispered,

"Young Master, you are back."

The sugar on the ground repeated the same thing, just like its older sister.

Giger nodded in response, then looked around the room and found it was much brighter than before, with some areas even reflecting light.

It's not that the maid who cleaned Gigg's room was lazy; it's simply because the Snow-Snow Fruit's power has such a huge advantage in this aspect.

Having a Logia-type Devil Fruit user servant who is dedicated to cleaning is something only Gigg has in the entire world.

Seeing that Giggs hadn't spoken for a while, Monet assumed that Giggs wasn't satisfied with the speed at which his sisters were working, since they hadn't finished cleaning the room yet.

She bit her lip and murmured,

"Young Master, I'm so sorry, we're still not very skilled, and our speed is a bit slow..."

Actually, they cleaned very quickly. Today it was just because Giger came back early, and his room was really big. The living room of an ordinary house can't even compare to his room in terms of size.

Sugar glanced timidly at Giger, then silently stuck out her little bottom and began to diligently rub the floor again. However, she stepped on an inconspicuous patch of frost, slipped, and crashed straight into the bed leg.

Swish!

Giger instantly appeared in front of Sugar, scooped her up, and gently patted her head, saying,

"Idiot, who told you to come and clean? Don't you know how old you are?"

Sugar pouted and lowered her head with a wronged expression.

Monet quickly said,

"Young Master, Sugar saw that I was too tired from cleaning by myself, so she thought of helping me."

Giger nodded upon hearing this, reached out and gently pinched Sugar's nose, and whispered,

"Oh, I see. It seems I misunderstood Sugar."

As he spoke, Giger magically produced a bunch of grapes in his hand, and Sugar's eyes lit up when he saw it.

Giger smiled slightly, gently placed Sugar on the bed behind him, then tucked the grapes into Sugar's arms, saying,

"This is a reward for good children, eat it."

Then, Giger called Monet over and, like a parent, spoke earnestly to him.

"You two shouldn't do cleaning anymore. You're both still young. I'll arrange for a teacher to come and teach you tomorrow. You can study first."

For the Monet sisters at this stage, this is indeed the most important thing.

Monet stared intently at Giger, his heart pounding, feeling a strange, indescribable sensation.

She suddenly remembered what Jona had said: Giger was a user of the Dark-Dark Fruit. But in her eyes, Giger at this moment was like a sun, radiating light and heat, almost melting her snow-white body.

Giger started to feel sleepy again. He chuckled and said, his eyes lowered,

"Alright, the room has been cleaned very well. You can go back and rest now. Come back early tomorrow to wake me up."

After saying that, Giger lay back on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

Chapter 218 Wake-up Service

The next day, Monet and Sugar arrived at Giger's bedroom early.

When the two entered the room, they found that Giger was still fast asleep and showed no signs of waking up.

Giger had said before going to bed last night that he should be woken up early, so Monet led Sugar to the bedside and gently called out, "Young Master."
