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

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Giggs, and Ginny couldn't help but ask,

"Speaking of which, how did you get back, Brother Jige?"

Giggs pointed to Zepha in the sky and casually said,

"That's how it is with Professor Zephyr. The warship was too slow, so I used Moonwalk to run back ahead of time."

Chapter 37 Akainu's Frustration

Everyone was startled upon hearing this. He frowned and asked,

"You ran back using Moonwalk? How long did it take you to run?"

"It will take about a day. Actually, I could have the bear send the photos back to me directly, but I thought I'd take this opportunity to practice."

Crane crossed his arms, glanced at Zephyr preparing to land above, and said in a deep voice,

"This is ridiculous! How can we let an ability user stay away from a warship at sea for such a long time? What if he gets exhausted or encounters a storm?"

At the same time, she was once again shocked by Giger's physical abilities. You have to know that Moonwalk is not running. It consumes a lot of physical strength. Using this technique to travel is really too extravagant.

And Gig actually used Moonwalk to travel a long distance for a whole day, and even when he returned, he was still able to easily tidy up Gion. Thinking about it now, it's simply outrageous.

The students on the field were much calmer than He after hearing this. They had spent almost every day with Giger at the naval academy and had become somewhat numb to his extraordinary performances.

Don't ask, the answer is he's not like us!

Zephyr landed smoothly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tsuru was also there and her expression was relatively calm. He thought to himself that thanks to the flying squirrel for reporting the news, it seemed that the situation was under control.

Swish!

A "minion" landed behind Zephyr, gradually taking on the shape of Kizaru. He craned his neck, looked around, and muttered...

"Isn't Lieutenant General Tsuru already here? The old man just likes to worry unnecessarily!"

The flying squirrel who had run to the office building to make a phone call earlier also ran back at this moment. He was stunned to see that Zephyr and Kizaru had already returned before him.

Zephyr praised the flying squirrel in front of everyone upon seeing it.

"Flying Squirrel, you did a great job this time. You were very thoughtful in considering everything!"

"But Professor Zephyr, I just finished making the call, how come you're back already?"

"Oh, this was brought back to me and Borsalino by Kuma's power, but the location was slightly off."

"I see!"

At this very moment, aboard Zephyr's warship,

Akainu and Kuma were sitting cross-legged on the deck, while the marines standing guard around them occasionally glanced at them and whispered among themselves.

"Hey, Instructor Zeff and that Borsalino just suddenly disappeared. What an amazing ability! Where did they go?"

"They probably went back to headquarters early, right? After all, they've completed their mission, and this area is so close to headquarters, which pirate crew would dare to cause trouble here?"

"Speaking of which, this mission was really easy to complete. We didn't have to do anything at all!"

"Hey! Don't you even look at the people Instructor Zephyr brought this time? Those four trainees are monsters! Have the new recruits gotten this strong already?"

"Who can argue with that? The Devil Fruit abilities of those four are absolutely terrifying. Those pirate crews are really doomed if they run into them! Especially Gigg and Sakazuki, when they start killing pirates, even Instructor Zephyr can't stop them!"

“In the past, when Instructor Zephyr led the pirates, he would capture them alive if he could, and afterwards we would have to escort those scum back. Now it’s much easier.”

"Don't even mention it. I still get a chill just thinking about it. If every ability user were like them, what would we do if we encountered them in the future?"

"What are you afraid of? With people like that in our navy, don't you feel very safe?"

"That's true... Hey, look! Sakazuki is standing up! I thought he was asleep!"

Akainu looked rather small next to the bear, even though he was already two meters tall. But the bear was simply too big, being a member of the Bakania tribe.

Akainu adjusted his navy cap slightly and slowly drew a katana from behind him.

The katana's blade was reduced to only half; the broken part was clearly melted by the high temperature. Akainu stroked the remaining half of the blade, looking somewhat frustrated, and muttered...

"My Devil Fruit ability really isn't suited for using swords... How many is this already...?"

Akainu suddenly felt a little envious of Kizaru's ability to conjure a lightsaber with his bare hands, and the lightsaber was incredibly powerful, cutting through pirates like tofu. Just watching it made Akainu secretly very happy.

He could do that, but to be honest, making a knife out of magma is not as direct as throwing a few magma punches.

He didn't think much of it when he practiced swordsmanship with Kizaru at school, but after going to sea for actual combat, he realized that swordsmanship was indeed a bit useless to him.

But he was reluctant to give it up, after all, he had really put in a lot of effort to practice...

Xiong glanced at him silently and said,

“Brother Giger is right, you really are not suited to using a sword.”

Akainu paused for a moment, taking Giggs' words seriously, and quickly pressed for an answer.

"Did Giger say something like that? What exactly did he say?"

After hesitating for a moment, the bear slowly spoke.

He said you're just making a huge fuss...

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"What a waste!"

"..."

The classic proverb from Earth left Akainu speechless, but he wasn't angry. The saying was spot on, though it sounded a bit harsh.

Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Akainu found it increasingly irritating. He casually tossed it behind him, throwing the broken sword off the deck and into the sea.

You know what, after Akainu threw away the sword, he suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if he had unloaded some burden, and a relaxed smile appeared on his coffin-like face.

The bear nodded in agreement, then suddenly blurted out,

"Well, you've finally put your pants on."

With Giger absent, the bear revealed his hidden sharp tongue, though it wasn't intentional.

Akainu froze, but fortunately he knew that Kuma was an honest man and that his words were not malicious. Kuma had even helped him resolve a knot in his heart, so he didn't take it to heart.

If it were Kizaru, that hermaphrodite, he would definitely teach Kizaru why his monkey butt is so red.

He adjusted his hat again, as was his habit, and asked,

“Bear, Professor Zephyr left in a hurry just now and didn’t say what happened. Why don’t we go back to headquarters and check it out?”

"Let's forget about it. If we leave too, who will protect this place?"

"makes sense."

Akainu strongly agreed with Kuma's statement: how could a qualified Marine abandon his post?

Well, Giger doesn't count; he did submit a report.

Thinking of this, Akainu gave Kuma an approving look, then sat cross-legged again next to Kuma. The two of them remained silent, standing on the deck like two statues, giving people a great sense of security.

Chapter 38 Gion Enrollment

Naval School

Tsuru finally pulled Gion away. When they reached the door, Gion suddenly turned back and glanced at Giger. He said something to Ginny, which made Ginny giggle.

On the way back, Tsuru saw Gion with her head down and silent, and asked,

"Gion, are you still thinking about the battle just now? Don't worry about it too much. Go back and train hard, and you'll definitely be able to..."

At this point, Tsuru suddenly paused. What she wanted to say was that Gion could defeat Giger, but after witnessing Giger's performance just now, even she felt that it seemed like an impossible task.

She had to admit that Giger was simply too extraordinary!

Would Sengoku and Garp, two of the Navy's top combatants today, have had similar strength to Gigg at his age?

If they had faced Gion back then, the outcome probably wouldn't have been much better...

Now, halfway through her sentence, He stood there awkwardly, unsure how to continue.

Gion wasn't stupid; she had already understood what Tsuru meant. However, instead of being annoyed, she burst out laughing.

"Sister He, why did you stop talking? Even you don't believe what you're about to say, do you?"

Having her thoughts exposed, He simply spoke frankly to her very close younger sister.

"Yes, Giger's talent is indeed amazing. To be honest, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a general."

Gion shook her head slightly, and said thoughtfully,

"A future naval admiral... Is that your assessment of him, Tsuru-nee? Perhaps that's a bit conservative!"

Tsuru glanced at Gion with some surprise, then continued,

"Are you suggesting he can become a marshal? A marshal isn't someone you can become just by being capable. Judging from Giger's character, I don't think he's suited for the position."

In the navy today, the dove faction is the most powerful, and Tsuru is a representative figure among them.

He had heard from Zefa about Giger's ruthlessness towards enemies during missions, and with her conservative views on justice, she did not think Giger was a suitable candidate for marshal.

Thinking of this, He laughed out loud, thinking that this was going too far. No matter how strong Jig is, he is still just a trainee. Strictly speaking, Jig doesn't even have a formal military rank yet.
