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

"Ji, Lord Jigsheng!?"

"Hey, I'm telling you, don't stutter when you say my name, especially the first syllable!"

When Jin heard the name Gig, he was also taken aback. It seemed to be the real name of the Navy Admiral Black Dragon. But what was with this Saint?

Jin looked down at the Den Den Mushi in his hand and said...

“Mr. Kaido, it seems that the backer Doflamingo mentioned has emerged.”

Doflamingo completely disregarded the fact that King was still on the other side. He held the Den Den Mushi in front of him and hurriedly explained...

"Lord Giger, I was too excited just now, and I'm so sorry for offending you!"

"Don't be so formal, I was just joking. By the way, you're still in Dressrosa, right?"

Doflamingo nodded vigorously, and the Den Den Mushi on Zig's end mimicked his movements perfectly.

"I'm here, Lord Giger. This Den Den Mushi should belong to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, right? Did he give it to you?"

"Yes, I'm dealing with matters concerning your Seven Warlords of the Sea. Before leaving headquarters, Sengoku gave me this Den Den Mushi, saying that Rosinante was being held by you and that I should bring it back on my way."

"Lord Giger Saint, please don't misunderstand. I don't want to oppose the Navy. It's just that Rosinante is my younger brother, I..."

"I know, you don't need to explain. Just stay with your brother. I won't take him away from you."

At that moment, Gigg, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, was in a dimly lit sea. He sat in the cabin of his private speedboat, tapping his legs, with a mocking expression on his face.

After saying that, Giger shook his head, thinking to himself,

Are all younger brothers this troublesome?

After a brief moment of reflection, Giger continued speaking into the Den Den Mushi.

"Dover, don't go out for a while. I'll come to Dressrosa to see you after I've finished dealing with this matter."

Doflamingo's face lit up with elation upon hearing this, but before he could reply, the Den Den Mushi in King's hand suddenly shouted,

"Black Dragon! No wonder Doflamingo is so arrogant, it turns out you're backing him up!"

Giger frowned upon hearing the sound and spoke into the Den Den Mushi.

"Who goes there? Dover, what are you doing?"

Gigg had only seen Kaido once, at God Valley, and hadn't seen him since, so he was relatively unfamiliar with Kaido's voice.

Doflamingo glared at the Den Den Mushi in King's hand, displeased that Kaido had interrupted his conversation with Giger.

He then briefly explained the situation to Giger, who listened and said calmly,

"Dover, switch the Den Den Mushi over here."

Doflamingo immediately did as instructed, turning the Den Den Mushi around to face King, or more precisely, to face the Den Den Mushi in King's hand.

"Kaido, I was so busy dealing with Roger and the others all those years ago that I forgot to deal with you, didn't I?"

"Black Dragon, this is no longer Roger's era! Don't be so arrogant!"

Upon hearing this, Giger narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his golden pupils, and said,

"Okay, it seems you're very confident. I'd really like to see if your abilities match your confidence."

"Hahaha! Black Dragon, are you threatening me?"

Giger didn't respond; he had lost interest in talking to Kaido. He said indifferently,

"Dover, sink Jack into the sea."

Without saying a word, Doflamingo immediately manipulated the water sphere containing Jack to sink into the sea, and then created a wave that carried Jack far away.

Jin's eyes widened suddenly, and he roared angrily.

"Doflamingo!!"

Kaido realized what had happened, and his voice immediately turned icy cold.

"Black Dragon, are you declaring war on my Beasts Pirates on behalf of the Navy?"

"Declare war? You alone are not qualified. The Beasts Pirates have no reason to exist anymore."

Kaido, enraged, laughed coldly and said repeatedly,

"Good good!"

"Jin said anxiously,"

"Boss Kaido, Jack has fallen into the sea! I need to gather men and rescue him right away!"

Kaido still quite liked Jack, that simpleton. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice,

"Go."

After saying that, he added another sentence.

"Black Dragon, I'm waiting for your navy to come!"

Giger had already hung up the Den Den Mushi. He slowly rose from the cabin, and in front of him, a huge pirate ship was gradually emerging from the thick fog.

Chapter 281 Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Shadow Power

Giggs arrived at the territory of Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, on Thriller Bark.

Moria is now a disgrace to the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Losing to Luffy and continuing to serve as a Warlord would only lower the prestige of the Seven Warlords.

Giger came to clean house. In the original story, it was Bear who came to help Moria clean up his mess, but Giger came to completely eliminate Moria.

Of course, Moria wasn't so important that Gigg would personally intervene; Gigg's real goal was Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

The original power of the Blood-Blood Fruit in his right arm has been completely fused and absorbed by the Vampire Fruit, which means that he can obtain a new Devil Fruit again.

The reason why Giggs took a liking to Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit was because, in Giggs's view, shadow and darkness have great similarities, and shadow and darkness are inseparable. The Shadow-Shadow Fruit may contain the part of the original power that the Dark-Dark Fruit lacked.

After storing the speedboat in the Dark Bible, Gigg leaped into the pirate ship known as the Thriller Bark.

Although it's called a pirate ship, it's actually more like an island, a rather eerie island, shrouded in thick fog and perpetually shrouded in darkness.

Thanks to the Straw Hat crew's earlier antics, the number of zombies here was already quite small, and Giggs simply strolled around until he arrived at Moria's castle.

Inside the castle, Moria was lying on the sofa, his thick neck wrapped in bandages. On the sofa to his side sat two of his men, Absalom and Hogback, both of whom were also wrapped in bandages.

When Gigg broke down the door, Moria and the other two jumped up from the sofa in shock.

Moriah shouted,

"who!?"

ta ta ta ......

A series of light but gradually growing louder footsteps approached, and a figure wearing a cloak came into view of Moria and his companions.

Upon recognizing the newcomer's face, Moria's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Admiral Black Dragon!?"

Giger looked up at Moria and said calmly,

"Gecko Moria, you have lost your right to be a Shichibukai. I'm here to take your life."

"What?! Are you kidding me?!"

Moria stumbled back a few steps, nearly tripping over the sofa behind him, while Giggs took a step toward him, each step accompanied by a dull thud, like the tolling of a giant death knell.

The voice echoed in the hall, carrying an indescribable pressure that made Moria's heart tremble.

A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He swallowed hard and gritted his teeth, saying...

"Black Dragon, don't go too far!"

Moriah is quite stubborn; at least in the original story, he never begged for mercy.

Absalom slowly retreated to Moria's side and whispered...

"Lord Moria, let's run away..."

Hogback was so frightened that he collapsed onto the sofa, his body trembling uncontrollably. In his view, Gigg, who was walking towards them, looked like a grim reaper.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze. Under this extremely oppressive atmosphere, Moria could no longer hold back. His shadow suddenly lengthened, transforming into a shadow blade with a gecko-like tip, which stabbed straight at Gigg.

"Horned Blade Shadow!!!"

Clang!

Giger made no attempt to dodge, letting the blade pierce his body, producing a sound like metal clashing.

Upon seeing this, Moria's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise,

"How is that possible? Did he use his domineering aura?"

However, in reality, Giger did not activate even a single bit of Armament Haki for defense.

For someone with the abilities of a Mythical Zoan and the bloodline of the Lunaria race, even if he stood still, this attack could not break through his defenses at all.

Giger glanced down at the black blade tip pressed against his chest, then raised his right hand, which was emanating black energy, and pressed it down.

The next second, the steel-like "horned blade shadow" that Moria had conjured softened and was instantly half absorbed by Giggs. Moria had to exert all his strength to regain a little bit of it, and it's worth noting that this was his own shadow.

Moria, having lost most of his shadow, immediately wilted. This was the first time he, a user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, had experienced the feeling of losing his shadow.
