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

This shocked him greatly, and he looked incredulous. In the battle for the shadow, or rather, his own shadow, he had actually lost to Gigg!

As Giger looked at his jet-black right hand, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up. He was now increasingly certain that the Shadow-Shadow Fruit was the fruit he was looking for.

As the master of darkness, shadows should also fall under his control. He tried to manipulate shadows when he was developing the Dark-Dark Fruit, but he made no progress and could not establish a "connection" with them.

Until this time, after Moria materialized his own shadow, Giger suddenly sensed this "connection" and was able to forcibly seize Moria's shadow.

Thinking of this, Giger raised his head, a dazzling golden light flashing in his eyes.

Moriah's internal alarm bells rang, and he shouted,

"Absalom!"

Absalom immediately understood Moria's meaning, and promptly placed his hand on Moria's body, activating the power of the Clear-Clear Fruit to conceal himself and Moria's figures.

With their disappearance, only Giggs and Hogback remained in the hall.

Hogback wanted to escape, but his body was as stiff as lead on the sofa. Giger didn't even glance at the guy, and casually unleashed a bolt of lightning, blasting the necrophile Hogback into ashes.

Immediately afterward, Giger flashed and appeared at the main entrance in an instant, causing the air in front of him to visibly ripple.

puff!

The sound of flesh tearing apart rang out, and Moria and Absalom revealed themselves. Absalom stared wide-eyed, and a large amount of blood foam gushed from his mouth.

Jig abruptly pulled his arm away from Absalom's heart, and the latter's eyes rolled back as he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Moriah, seeing Absalom who had fallen silent, roared in anger.

"Black Dragon! You..."

Before Moria could finish shouting, Giggs had already placed his hand on Moria's large belly, and a dark vortex appeared, directly turning his internal organs into minced meat.

Moria rolled his eyes and his massive body crashed to the ground.

Giger stood calmly before Moria's corpse. Several streams of black energy gathered in his palm, transforming into a Bible with a black cover. When the Bible disappeared, it was replaced by a black fruit wrapped in leaves—the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

Chapter 282 Target Kaido

"Pfft!"

Giger took a bite of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, and black juice slid down the corner of his mouth.

Suppressing the nauseating taste that made him want to vomit, Giger finished off the Shadow-Shadow Fruit in three bites, then casually tossed the remaining stem to the ground.

Giger slowly closed his eyes, raised his hand, and darkness surged from his arm as usual, but in the next second it solidified and transformed into various shapes, eventually forming a huge black cone that blasted through the top of the castle.

After obtaining the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, the invisible darkness also gained the ability to materialize.

Just as Gigg had predicted, shadow and shadow were one, and the interaction between the Shadow-Shadow Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit was a combination of illusion and reality. He finally completed a step that his ancestor Kaecilius had not achieved, and completely replenished the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

The most compelling proof is that he can achieve true elementalization, that is, shadowization.

With a thought, Gigg's body transformed into scattered black bats and disappeared from the spot.

Incidentally, Moria also demonstrated this ability to transform into bats, but he could only split his shadow into bats; his main body couldn't do it.

High in the sky, a large number of black bats coalesced into Gigg's body. He looked down at the terrifying three-masted ship below and snapped his fingers.

A massive, jet-black cube instantly enveloped the enormous ship, and when the cube dissipated, the ship vanished as well.

Upon closer inspection, one can see some dust particles floating in the air, indicating a level of destructive power far exceeding that before.

From that moment on, Moria and his Thriller Bark pirate crew vanished from the world.

However, what puzzled Giger was that Perona, one of Moria's three oddballs, seemed to be absent from the ship.

Giger didn't dwell on this much; in his eyes, Perona was just a brat, and it didn't matter whether he killed her or not.

Glancing down at the empty sea below, Gigg's body once again transformed into countless black bats and flew into the distance.

......

Dressrosa,

Doflamingo was standing on the balcony gazing into the distance when Rosinante stood behind him, looking at his back with a puzzled expression.

Ever since that battle with King, Doflamingo has been standing on the balcony every day for half a day, as if waiting for something.

Rosinandi finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked,

"Doflamingo, what are you waiting for? Are you afraid of retaliation from the Beasts Pirates?"

Doflamingo didn't even turn his head, simply saying...

"With him around, the Beasts Pirates have nothing to fear."

"who is he?"

Doflamingo smiled and said,

"You'll know when he gets here."

These words made Rosinante even more eager to ask more questions, when suddenly, a large number of black bats swept in from the balcony and Doflamingo rushed in.

Doflamingo frowned; the appearance of these bats reminded him of Moria. He turned around to see what was going on, but instead heard Rosinante's joyful shout.

"General Black Dragon!?"

Doflamingo's expression changed, and he turned around abruptly, only to be met with Zig's face, a face he would never forget.

Giger glanced at the dazed Doflamingo and chuckled.

"Dover, it's been a long time."

Twenty-two years later, Doflamingo finally saw Zig again. He moved his lips and said...

"Lord Giger Saint, it's been a long time!"

"Nani? Lord Jigsheng!?"

Rosinante initially thought that Giggs had come to take him back to the Navy, but he was dumbfounded when he heard Doflamingo address Giggs.

After all, he was a Celestial Dragon who had lived in Mary Geoise for only a few years, but he was particularly sensitive to the title of "Saint," and Doflamingo was even more so.

Rosinante doesn't believe that Doflamingo was just making a slip of the tongue.

Under Rosinante's incredulous gaze, Doflamingo slowly walked up to Giggs, his expression utterly unfamiliar to Giggs.

Giger raised his hand and patted Doflamingo on the shoulder, saying,

"Dover, you've really grown a lot over the years."

Having gained Giger's approval, Doflamingo felt as if his throat was blocked, and he couldn't utter a single word in front of Giger for a long time.

He glanced at Rosinandi, who was still standing there in a daze, and called out.

"Rosinandi! Lord Giggs is your superior, what are you standing there for? This is extremely rude!"

Rosinante, looking completely bewildered, jogged over and stood beside Doflamingo. Then, after a moment's hesitation, he raised his hand and gave Zig a military salute, saying...

"Admiral Black Dragon! I am Navy Captain Rosinandi!"

Rosinante's identity was already an open secret to Doflamingo, so he had nothing to hide.

Giger nodded and smiled.

"Rossinandi, we've known each other for a long time, why are you introducing yourself?"

Rosinandi looked at the face so close to his own, hesitated for a moment, and then asked,

"Black Dragon Admiral, what is your relationship with Doflamingo?"

Giger had anticipated Rosinandi's question, and without hesitation, he replied...

"Doflamingo is my family."

Upon hearing this, Rosinante's eyes widened in shock, while Doflamingo trembled violently as he stared blankly at Giggs' profile.

Giggs turned to face Doflamingo and said with a smile,

"Doflamingo, after I deal with Kaido, your Darkseid family can be renamed. By the way, would you like to come with me to Onigashima?"

Doflamingo stiffened his neck; he was so excited that he couldn't even nod.

Giggs didn't care. In front of Doflamingo and Rosinante, he took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and made a call. Lucia's voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Little Lord!"

"Lucia, tell Sakazuki and the others that we're going to Ghost Island."

"Onigashima? Is that Kaido's territory?"

“That’s right, I’m going to wipe out the Beasts Pirates. There’s no need for Sakazuki and the others to mobilize troops. Just seven people will come to Dressrosa on my warship and meet here.”

"Yes, young master, I understand."

Rosinante listened intently, blinking repeatedly, wondering if Fleet Admiral Sengoku knew about this? To start a war against the Four Emperors based on just one phone call?

Marineford

After Giger hung up the phone, Lucia immediately got up and left her admiral's office. She wanted to convey Giger's message to Akainu and the others in person.

The first person she found was Akainu, who, after learning about it, only paused for a moment before decisively leaving with Lucia.

In the marshal's office, Sengoku was dealing with the pile of documents on his desk when Tsuru suddenly pushed the door open and said in a deep voice,
