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

His eyes flickered, a look of astonishment in his heart.

"That's the Muramasa demon sword?! Karin Sei has already given it to Giger?!"

With this in mind, Satan, who had originally wanted to offer some opinions, shut up completely. He had made up his mind that no matter what decision Giger made later, even if he really wanted to bring Doflamingo back, he would support him.

Because the Muramasa sword is not only a symbol of the head of the Figarand family, its birth has extremely important significance for the entire Celestial Dragon race.

That was a sword capable of killing gods. Of course, the "god" referred to was not the Celestial Dragons who called themselves gods, but Nika, who might awaken again at any time!

Chapter 56 Jig, the Master of Empty Promises

Giger pondered for a moment, then looked up at Doflamingo and said,

"To be honest, I quite admire you, Doflamingo."

When Doflamingo heard that Korin had handed over the decision-making power to Gigg, he thought he had no chance at all.

After all, Giger looked far too young. In Doflamingo's eyes, Garin's actions showed that he didn't take him seriously at all, and his casual attitude was as if he were dealing with a piece of trash.

He didn't expect Giger to speak up for him; not sentencing him to death was already the best outcome.

But now, hearing that Giger actually admires him, Doflamingo's hope was rekindled. He looked at Giger with hopeful eyes, his fate now completely in Giger's hands.

However, Giger didn't rush to make a final decision; he simply asked one question.

"You have a younger brother, right? Why didn't he come here with you?"

Doflamingo paused for a moment, then nodded and said,

"Yes, his name is Rosinante. He suffered a shock and disappeared somewhere."

"Oh, so now you're all alone in your family. If we asked you to come back, are you sure you could stay in the family?"

Doflamingo couldn't help but look at Musgard, only to be met with a disdainful gaze.

He fell silent, and Musgarud's attitude represented the Don Quixote family's attitude towards him.

Giger is right. Even if he were allowed to return to his family, as the son of a traitor, he would probably not even be able to find a place to stay.

Of all the people in the hall, the only one who showed him any concern was Giger.

Despite how ruthless Doflamingo becomes later, he is still just a ten-year-old child. It's already quite remarkable that he hasn't broken down under such immense pressure.

This might be the most vulnerable moment of his life. Even though Giger's question wasn't meant to show concern, it still warmed Doflamingo's cold heart.

Given Gignah's unapproachable status to him, this expression of "concern" is all the more precious.

So when he spoke again, the way he addressed Giger had changed.

"Lord Giger, what do you think I should do?"

Giger smiled slightly and said,

“My Figalando family can accept you.”

"Nani!?"

Before Doflamingo could react, a gasp erupted in the council chamber. Garin glanced at Giger in surprise, but didn't say anything more.

Musgarud looked at Gigg with even greater disbelief and said,

"Gig Saint, are you kidding me? He's the son of a traitor!"

Giger frowned, a wisp of black smoke emanating from the corner of his eye, and said coldly,

"What? Are you questioning my decision?"

hum!

A dark, domineering aura emanated from Giger, and the lights in the council chamber dimmed instantly.

Of course, Giger had already suppressed the intensity of his Conqueror's Haki to the limit, after all, these Celestial Dragons were just too weak.

Even so, under the influence of his Conqueror's Haki, many Celestial Dragons still felt dizzy, especially Musgard, whose body swayed and finally fell off the chair, landing hard on the ground.

He had no idea what was happening and stared at Giger in horror. The other Celestial Dragons were also frozen in their chairs like dazed geese, too scared to move.

Satan wasn't surprised by Giger's display of Conqueror's Haki; it would be a huge surprise if the sole heir of the Figarando family didn't even have that ability.

Doflamingo had previously awakened Conqueror's Haki due to an accident, but he was too young to know what Conqueror's Haki was, let alone control it.

Unaffected, all he saw was the scene where, after Giger finished speaking, the Celestial Dragons were so frightened that they didn't dare utter a single word.

But what shocked him the most was what Giger said, and he still doubts whether he heard it wrong.

That's the Figarand family! Doflamingo still remembers that when Homing decided to leave the family, he said that his biggest worry was the Figarand family.

Because the heads of this family throughout the ages have possessed a privilege that all Celestial Dragons fear: the power to judge Celestial Dragons.

Doflamingo never dreamed that he would one day have the opportunity to join this family. It was so fantastical that he started to stutter.

"Lord Jiggi, are you... are you serious?"

Giggs' face darkened. It was one thing for Doflamingo to stutter, but he seemed to be stammering on the first syllable of his name. Luckily, no one here understood the meaning of "Gigi." He frowned and said impatiently,

"I don't have time to joke with you."

Doflamingo stared, took a deep breath for a while before sorting out his words, and shouted,

"If Lord Giggs would allow me to join the Figarando family, I would swear allegiance to you to the death!"

"Okay, you can go now."

"what?"

Doflamingo's mind was completely blank. What did "you can leave" mean? Where did Zig want him to go? To report to the Figarand family?

He asked tentatively,

"What does Lord Jigseman mean?"

"What I mean is that you can leave Mary Geoise now and go out into the world to make your way in the world. Come back to me when you have enough strength. The Figarando family doesn't take in trash. I just gave you a chance. What? Don't you want this chance?"

Giger's words would be considered pure empty promises on Earth, though the promises he made were indeed very tempting.

Doflamingo's expression froze for a moment, as if he wanted to say something more, but when he saw Zig's increasingly impatient look, he immediately replied,

"Yes! I am truly grateful to Lord Giger for giving me this opportunity! I will do my utmost and will never let you down!"

After saying that, Doflamingo turned around and strode towards the door. Giggs called after him, saying...

"It must have taken you a lot of effort to get here. When you go down the elevator, you will see a ship. Go on the ship and find a man named Spandam. Tell him that I sent you to find him, and he will take you to where you want to go."

Doflamingo was immediately moved to tears and bowed deeply to Giggs, maintaining the posture as he retreated step by step to the door, finally turning around and leaving.

After he left, Garin suddenly said,

"Gig, what are you thinking? Don't tell me you're just teasing him."

Jiger smiled and said,

“Uncle Garin, your judgment this time is not as good as mine. That guy has good potential. If he can be used by the family, he will definitely be a good tool.”

Chapter 57 Garin's Fury

On the way back, Garin asked,

"Gig, how long do you plan to stay in Mary Geoise this time?"

Jiger thought for a moment and said,

"If Uncle Garin has nothing else to do, I might leave tomorrow."

"You little brat, you think you can just take the stuff and leave, huh?"

"Um, Uncle Garin, you're not going to miss me, are you?"

"sulfuric acid!"

The blade of the sword at Garin's waist gleamed coldly, but Giggs wasn't afraid at all. He put his hands behind his head, turned to Lucia, and said...

"Lucia, you'll come with me then."

Lucia's face lit up with surprise. She had been feeling uneasy when she heard Gigg say he was leaving, but now she breathed a sigh of relief.

She nodded vigorously and said,

"As long as Young Master is willing, Lucia will follow you wherever you go!"

Giger smiled slightly, ignoring Garin's increasingly dark expression, and said,

"Uncle Garin, I need to ask you to get the World Government to create a plausible identity for Lucia. I want her to be admitted to the Naval Academy as well."

Garin almost laughed out loud at Giger's antics. He said irritably,

"Are you training or just enjoying yourself at the naval academy? Should I arrange for her to share a dorm room with you?"

"No need for that. I don't live in a single room, and it wouldn't be convenient for Lucia to live with me."

A large tic appeared on Garin's forehead. He turned his head away and said indifferently,

"I'm not going to get involved in this. Figure it out yourself."

"No, Uncle Garin, not many people within the World Government know me yet, so my words don't carry as much weight as yours."
