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

Gig was startled and looked up at Im, who continued speaking.

"After all, he has not yet reached Joy Boy's level. His will cannot last forever. Awakening means that he will soon dissipate."

After speaking, Im slowly rose from his throne and took a few steps forward.

As Im detached from the throne, his figure flickered almost imperceptibly, but it was so subtle that even someone staring intently at him would hardly notice it.

However, Giger's perception was beyond that of ordinary people, and he was able to capture this fleeting moment.

His face remained calm and composed, but his heart seemed to be churning with turbulent waves.

Just now, Giger only got a general look. Although Im's specific face was still somewhat blurry, Giger was 100% certain that Im was a woman!

This suddenly brought to Giger's mind a song from Earth: God is a girl.

But he clearly remembered that whether it was the Five Elders or Garin, they would always add "Saint" after Im's title.

It is common knowledge among the Celestial Dragons that male names are followed by the character "圣" (Saint), while female names should be followed by the character "宫" (Palace).

Galin may not have seen Im's true face, but surely Satan has seen it, right?

Im slowly descended two steps, where twenty swords were stuck in the ground in front of her.

She gazed at the twenty greatswords, a hint of emotion flashing in her red eyes. Then, she raised her hand and pulled out one of them.

Giger looked closely and discovered that the sword in Im's hand was exactly the same as his own cursed sword, Muramasa.

Im gripped the "Demon Sword Muramasa" and shook it, then slowly said,

"Now that the real Muramasa has appeared, this fake one has no reason to exist."

After saying that, the knife in Im's hand trembled slightly and then shattered.

Then she looked down at Gigg, her gaze lingering on the knife-shaped mark on the back of Gigg's right hand, and said,

"Let me see the real Muramasa sword again. Don't worry, now that it has recognized its master, no one in this world can take it away from you."

Giger narrowed his eyes and summoned the demon sword Muramasa. Instead of manipulating Muramasa to fly up, he flicked his wrist and threw Muramasa directly up.

Im caught it, examined it closely, and then released it, letting Muramasa fly back into Giger's hand.

As Muramasa transformed into black light and merged into the back of Giger's right hand, Im spoke.

"Gig, now that you've gained the approval of the Muramasa demon sword, you should know what your mission is, right?"

Giger raised an eyebrow. A mission? When did he start carrying such a mission?

Shouldn't this be something a protagonist like Luffy should be thinking about?

Im wasn't expecting a response from Gigg and continued speaking on his own.

"Your mission is to kill Joy Boy and end everything he represents."

Giger immediately understood; this meant he was to be used as a tool.

Thinking of this, Giger asked,

"Lord Im Saint, is Joy Boy about to appear again?"

Im slowly sat back on the throne of the sky, a symbol of supreme power and majesty. She leaned back slightly, her eyes fixed on the distance, and spoke calmly and profoundly, without the slightest fluctuation.

"He has always been there. Whether it's the Nika fruit or something else, his will is on it, guiding some people to follow his trail until the real him appears."

Giger narrowed his eyes slightly and said,

"Like Roger?"

"That's right. Over the past eight hundred years, people like him have always appeared at some point."

"Then what is the point of them doing this?"

"The point is to let the world know that Joy Boy is still alive, so that when he truly recovers, people will respond to his call."

Im answered Gigg's questions mechanically. This was not a privilege that just anyone could receive. Even when the Five Elders came to see her, they mostly just lay on the ground listening to her give orders.

"What a persistent fellow! So, does Lord Im mean we should just ignore people like Roger?"

"Of course we have to manage them. Anyone who opposes us must be executed, especially the D clan."

A murderous glint flashed in Im's red eyes. Then, she looked down at Gig and slowly said,

“Gig, the D clan members are guided by Joy Boy’s will and protected by him. They are difficult to kill before completing some kind of mission, just like Garp’s son, Dragon.”

After Long escaped from Gigg, he had also thought about this issue, and his thoughts were similar to what Im is saying now: that the D clan seemed to be protected by some kind of power.

However, Giger was not afraid of such things. He believed in the supremacy of strength and emphasized the power of a brick flying through the air.

As long as you are strong enough, you don't need to fear any so-called willpower.

Im placed his hands on the golden armrests of the Throne of the Sky, stroking them slowly, and said in a low voice,

“This Roger is indeed quite capable. Now that you're serving in the Navy, if you have the chance, you must take him out.”

Giger nodded, but in his heart he thought that Roger seemed to be terminally ill, and even if he didn't take action, Roger wouldn't live much longer.

Of course, he wouldn't mind personally executing Roger, but it would be best to wait until Roger returned from Laugh Tale and was crowned the Pirate King.

Think about Garp. He only had a few years of bromance with Roger at sea, yet he was immediately hailed as a legendary Marine who "forced the Pirate King into a corner."

Just as Giger was thinking, Im's voice rang out again, this time with an undisguised weariness in it.

"Alright, you can go back now. Remember your mission. The position of leader of the Knights of God will still belong to your Figarando family in the future."

Giger didn't take this empty promise to heart, he just smiled and bowed slightly before turning and leaving.

As Giger stepped out of the palace, the gate behind him closed. He paused to admire the sea of ​​flowers around him for a while, his figure gradually twisting until he completely disappeared from the spot.

He went straight back to the clan's territory and told Garin about his meeting with Im. Garin listened for a moment, then said...

"As expected, Im Saint has never stopped being wary of Joy Boy. He will never be able to sit on that throne in peace until he completely removes this thorn in his side."

Giger picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, then casually placed the rest of the large bunch into the Dark Bible, saying as he ate.

"I understand. If I were in that situation, I would also feel like the throne is burning my bottom."

"Gig, what are you planning to do next?"

"How do I do it?"

Giger lit a small flame on his fingertip, drying the remaining grape juice.

Watching the flame flickering between his fingertips, Giger said calmly,

“Kill Roger.”

After saying that, Giger smiled slightly and continued,

"Don't worry, Uncle Garin, I won't hurt that red-haired kid. But after Roger dies, do you need me to bring him back?"

This time, a hint of interest finally appeared on Garin's face, and he no longer rejected her outright as before.

Seeing this, Giger thought he had a chance and immediately pressed on with the ironwork.

“Uncle Garin, no matter what, he is a member of our Figarando family. At least we should let him know his identity.”

Garin frowned slightly, about to speak, when Carlos, the messenger, appeared again at the door and said...

"Lord Garin, Saint Rozwald is at the door requesting an audience!"

Garin swallowed back what he was about to say and said in a deep voice,

"I know, let him in."

Giger shrugged helplessly, thinking to himself, "Go ahead and be awkward. I'll definitely bring Shanks back to see you later."

After a while, Rozward walked in with a group of men in suits carrying boxes.

Upon seeing Garin and Giger, Roswald swallowed hard, then a fawning smile appeared on his face. However, he rarely made such an expression, and it looked quite ugly.

Garin and Giger remained silent, and Roswald, seeing this, felt somewhat embarrassed, but still mustered his courage and spoke up.

"Lord Garin, Lord Gig, I have come to apologize!"

As he spoke, he turned and sternly ordered the man in the suit to put the boxes on the ground. Then he opened them all, and in an instant, the entire reception room was filled with dazzling golden light.

The box was filled with gold and jewels, the value of which could not be measured in peso figures.

Even for Roswald, a Celestial Dragon, such a large amount of gold and jewels was a huge expense, a significant expenditure. After all, gold is a hard currency everywhere.

However, both Garin and Giger only glanced at it before looking away. Garin slowly spoke,

"Roswald, are you insulting the Figarando family by bringing these things here?"

As he spoke, Garin placed his hand on the sword at his waist and flicked his finger.

Only a small part of the sword was visible, but the icy chill almost suffocated Roswald.

Garin's slight movement was enough to make Roswald's legs go weak, and he collapsed to the ground. Giger frowned, worried that the guy might urinate and soil the floor.

If Roswald actually dares to urinate, Giger wouldn't mind casting him out.
