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

Even though her hand gripping the knife was covered in blood, Ginny didn't even flinch. A smile even appeared on her face as she softly said...

"What is this little injury compared to the pain I've endured before?"

In Gion's dilated pupils, Ginny punched Gion in the stomach, the powerful force sending her flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.

Ginny forcefully shook the blood off her hands and muttered to herself,

"You dared to talk about my brother Jige like that? You'll have to pay the price!"

Gion, clutching her stomach with one hand and using her Kinpira to support herself as she stood up, coughed violently a few times before quickly recovering.

A black wisp slowly faded from her abdomen. The watching squirrels and others noticed this and their expressions darkened. Fire Mountain, looking grim, said…

"Damn it! She's awakened Armament Haki! Ginny's attack was neutralized by her Haki!"

Fire Mountain's feelings were even more complicated at this moment, because it meant that he, a grown man, had failed to even force Gion to use her Armament Haki, which was tantamount to slapping him hard in the face again.

Gion didn't even glance at him. She patted the dust off her clothes, her expression growing increasingly cold.

She had awakened Armament Haki, but its strength was only average. Ginny's attack just now wasn't neutralized as Fire Mountain said; at least she could still feel a strong pain in her abdomen.

This punch ignited Gion's anger, and she once again assumed a sword-drawing stance, clearly intending to end the match.

Having witnessed Gion's sword aura, Ginny knew she couldn't dodge it, but she still fearlessly raised her pistol and pointed it at Gion.

Chapter 34 Giger Returns

hum!

In her rage, Gion unleashed a pink sword aura far more powerful than before. Almost simultaneously, Ginny pulled the trigger, and a jet-black bullet shot out from the muzzle.

After firing that bullet, Ginny suddenly seemed to lose all her strength, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

The bullet that Kinpira had easily severed earlier was now locked in a stalemate with the sword energy unleashed by Gion. Gion stared at the bullet spinning in the air and said in a deep voice,

"Bullets wrapped in domineering aura? I didn't expect you to have awakened Armament Haki as well."

She glanced again at Ginny, who was slumped on the ground, shook her head, and said,

"It seems you haven't been awakened for very long. It's quite impressive that you can use it at a time like this. However, with this level of domineering aura, it's far from enough to block my attack."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ginny's bullet reached its limit and exploded into fragments after a violent tremor. Without the bullet's obstruction, the sword energy once again whistled towards Ginny.

The flying squirrels and the others could no longer contain themselves and wanted to rush up to help. If Ginny were hit by that sword energy, she would definitely be seriously injured, and they would be too ashamed to face Gigg.

But at their speed, it would be difficult to catch up. Ginny raised her pistol with trembling hands. Even if she could only fire one ordinary bullet, she would never admit defeat.

But it was too late. Before she could pull the trigger, Gion's sword aura had already reached her. The blinding light made her instinctively close her eyes, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

"We still lost. It's a bit embarrassing..."

"I've been working out really hard, and Brother Jig often praises me!"

"If I had a little more time, I definitely wouldn't have lost to this woman!"

"It would hurt a lot if I got hit, right? Waaah... I'm actually very afraid of pain!"

"...Why can't I feel anything? Am I dead?! Then I'll never see Brother Jig again! No way!"

Ginny suddenly opened her eyes, and a tall figure appeared in her line of sight. The sunlight had been blocked, leaving Ginny in darkness, but she felt very warm because her Giggo was the embodiment of darkness!

The person who arrived was none other than Jige, who had just returned.

A bright and charming smile bloomed on Ginny's slightly pale face, and she called out in a soft, sweet voice.

"Giggo!"

Giger maintained a gesture of grasping with one hand, his dark hand gleaming with a metallic light.

Hearing Ginny's call, he turned around, his face bearing that smile that was all too familiar to Ginny.

But when he saw Ginny's blood-soaked hands and pale face, a dark aura emanated from the corner of his eye.

The moment Ginny saw Giger, all her weakness vanished. She jumped up and hugged Giger from behind, exclaiming joyfully,

"Brother Jige, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"

Giger gently stroked her pink hair and said softly,

"I've only been gone for less than a month, but look how worried my Ginny is. Didn't I call her?"

"Den Den Mushi are too ugly! I still prefer to see Gigo in person!"

"Okay, okay, calm down first and tell me what's going on with that woman over there?"

Ginny nodded obediently and briefly explained the situation to Giger. She didn't speak ill of Gion because of her defeat, but only said that she had come to challenge them.

Giger listened quietly, and when Ginny finished speaking, he whispered, "I understand."

Suddenly, he lowered his head and kissed Ginny's smooth forehead, and Ginny froze on the spot as if petrified.

Giger smiled and pinched Ginny's soft, pretty face. When he turned to face Gion, there was no trace of a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with an intense darkness.

Gion remained in the motion of swinging her sword, her face blank with a dazed expression.

The scene from just now was still lingering in her mind: just as her sword energy was about to hit Ginny, Giggs appeared like a ghost and crushed the sword energy in one swift motion.

Upon meeting Giger's eyes, Gion instantly felt a chill run through her body. She instinctively gripped her sword with both hands and said gravely,

"You must be Jig, right? Sister He was right, you are indeed very strong!"

Giger didn't reply. He put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly towards Gion.

The perceptive flying squirrel sensed something was wrong. Gig's mood seemed off, and that woman named Gion was in danger!

The flying squirrel wasn't swayed by beauty; he wasn't worried about Gion, he was worried about Gigo!

Gion has said that she is Vice Admiral Tsuru's sister. Although it is unknown whether they are related by blood, their relationship is definitely very close!

He had absolute, unconditional trust in Giger's abilities, which was why he feared Giger might accidentally ruin Gion...

If such a thing were to happen, even if Lieutenant General Tsuru were as magnanimous as he is, it would probably not end well. If Lieutenant General Tsuru were to get angry, even Teacher Zefa would probably have a hard time protecting Gige.

Why did only Giger come back?

Professor Zefa, where have you been?! This is going to cause a huge mess, do you even realize it?!

As Giger drew closer to Gion, the flying squirrel was frantic. He glanced at the stunned Fire Mountain and the others beside him, cursed his teammates under his breath, and then turned and ran towards the office building. He was going to make a phone call!

At this moment, no one on the field noticed the sudden departure of the flying squirrel. Gion looked at Giger approaching her and tentatively swung out a sword aura again.

Giger simply waved his hand, scattering the sword energy into the air as if swatting a fly, without affecting the speed in the slightest.

His speed wasn't fast, but it put immense psychological pressure on Gion. She pushed off with her feet and retreated rapidly.

She didn't stop until she was more than 100 meters away. Before she could catch her breath and calm herself down, she looked up and saw that Jig was already standing in front of her.

Giger leaned forward slightly, quietly looking at Gion in front of him. Their faces were so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

Gion wanted to retreat further, but was horrified to find that she could not move at all. Giger's body was like a magnet, emitting a powerful attraction that held her firmly in place.

Giger's expression remained impassive, and he spoke in a low voice,

"You seem quite confident in your abilities, wanting to challenge me, right? Come on, I'm standing right here now, you can make your move."

Gion couldn't bear this. She gritted her teeth and swung her sword with all her might. Kinpira passed through Giger's body and sliced ​​through the air.

Chapter 35 Lieutenant General Tsuru

The attack missed, and Gion was stunned for a moment before realizing that Giggs was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and physical attacks without Haki couldn't hurt him at all.

So she used Armament Haki to wrap around the sword and stabbed at Giger's waist. It's unclear whether she had some obsession with kidneys, but she always seemed to target that spot.

So she made the same mistake as Kizaru before, which was to confuse Gig's Kamui with ordinary elemental transformation.

The golden gargoyle, shrouded in domineering aura, passed through Giger's body without any hindrance. Gion's small mouth opened slightly, and she blurted out...

"How is this possible?! I clearly used Armament Haki!"

Without saying a word, Giger grabbed Gion's shoulder with one hand and delivered a knee strike straight into Gion's stomach.

She immediately used Armament Haki to defend herself, but her Armament Haki was as fragile as paper in the face of Gigg's attack and was broken in an instant.

Having suffered a severe abdominal injury, Gion coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered back a few steps, and finally knelt on one knee in front of Giger.

Seeing this, the crowd watching the match twitched violently, thinking to themselves that Giger showed no mercy to women and was truly ruthless when he started fighting!

Giger looked down at Gion and said calmly,

"What's wrong with you? Are you trying to admit defeat?"

Gion's face showed embarrassment. Just now, she had also faced Ginny with this condescending attitude, which was an absolute confidence in her own strength.

Now, the roles have reversed. Her so-called confidence has been completely torn to shreds by Giger, and her proud swordsmanship can't even touch the hem of Giger's clothes.

Gion finally understood why Tsuru had praised Giger so highly; judging from the strength Giger had displayed, Tsuru was probably being too conservative.

She gave a wry smile, thinking to herself how ridiculous she had been so pleased with herself for defeating two students!

The gap was simply too obvious. No matter how unwilling Gion was, she had to admit that she had lost, lost completely.

She stood up, her hands gripping the knife, her peach-colored eyes reflecting Giger's cold, stern face.

Gion carefully examined Giger's face, seemingly trying to memorize it, until Giger showed signs of impatience, at which point she spoke softly.
