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

Lucia's expression froze, the flame of desire in her eyes instantly extinguished. She stared blankly at Gigg in front of her, her pretty face flushing red at a visible speed. She murmured...

"Young Master, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, her body went limp and she collapsed onto Giger.

"hiss......"

Gigg was shirtless, and with Lucia pressing so close, he was immediately on edge. He took a deep breath, gently placed his hand on Lucia's back, and asked,

"Lucia, what happened to you just now? How did you even use your Devil Fruit power?"

Lucia buried her face in Gigg's chest and said in a muffled voice,

"I'm so sorry, young master. I... I just wanted to give myself some courage, so I used a little bit of my Devil Fruit power. I didn't expect the effect to be so strong..."

Upon hearing this reason, Giger was both amused and exasperated, and said...

"To bolster your courage? What are you trying to bolster your courage for? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

"If the young master wishes, I can do it... Over the years, I've learned a little about this from some female officials in charge of training slaves..."

"..."

Giger glanced helplessly at Lucia's little head and said,

"What are you thinking about all day? We've only been back together for a day, and Uncle Jialin just told me not to focus on this. If I do this tonight... well, if he finds out, he'll definitely give me a hard time tomorrow, and he might not let you come with me."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Lucia jerked herself up from Giger and exclaimed in terror,

"No! I've been waiting so long for the young master to come back, I don't want to be separated from you again!"

After saying that, Lucia jumped out of bed, ran to the wardrobe, and magically pulled out a black silk nightgown from among Giger's black suits. She changed into it right in front of Giger, then snuggled into his arms, closed her eyes, and said...

Goodnight, young master~

Chapter 59 The King's Sword

Lucia nestled in Giger's arms and quickly fell asleep, while Giger, for some reason, couldn't sleep at all.

However, his physical condition was extraordinary. Even if he didn't sleep all night, he would still be full of energy the next morning and wouldn't feel tired at all.

Lucia helped him change his clothes and have breakfast. Karin didn't appear at breakfast, and Giger thought that what he said last night must have been quite a shock to Karin, and he probably hadn't recovered yet.

However, Giggs had barely finished breakfast and hadn't even had a chance to digest when Carlos came running into the restaurant to deliver a message.

"Lord Jigsel, the patriarch requests that you go to the training room now."

"I see."

Giger left Lucia behind and went to the training room from yesterday alone.

Inside the training room, Garin, dressed in a black taekwondo uniform, held a wooden sword with his back to the door.

As soon as Giger stepped in, he felt a sharp sword aura rushing towards him. The Muramasa demon sword seemed to sense the danger and instantly appeared in Giger's hand.

Before Giger could even say hello, Garin turned around and unleashed a sword strike. Giger's pupils constricted, and he instinctively raised his sword to block.

"sulfuric acid!"

Garin's sword aura didn't even use Armament Haki; it was just a regular slash, yet it sent Giger staggering back several meters in an instant.

This was even after the Muramasa sword absorbed most of the impact for him.

Jig's right hand, holding the sword, was still trembling slightly. His expression was solemn. This was the first time he had personally experienced Garin's terrifying strength. The title of "King" was truly well-deserved.

Compared to Karin's sword aura, Gion's attack was nothing more than a tickle.

Garin's face remained calm and composed, just as he had been when he faced Rocks in God Valley, wielding his sword as the absolute king.

The wooden sword in his hand was gradually enveloped by a red gas. Giger frowned, thinking to himself,

"Could that be Conqueror's Haki? Is Uncle Karin getting serious?"

However, Garin didn't give Gigg any time to think. His figure gradually became ethereal and appeared in front of Gigg in an instant. He raised his wooden sword and suddenly slashed down at Gigg's shoulder.

At this critical moment, Giger pushed his Observation Haki to its limit and unleashed Kamui just as the wooden sword was about to touch his body, making his body ethereal and avoiding Garin's attack.

A look of surprise appeared on Garin's face. Jig seized the opportunity, and Armament Haki instantly enveloped the Muramasa sword. He gripped the sword with both hands and thrust it upwards.

Unfortunately, Karin is not Kizaru; even when faced with the unknown Kamui, he was only momentarily stunned.

With his top-tier Observation Haki, Karin twisted his wrist the instant Jig's body solidified, causing his wooden sword to strike Muramasa's blade at an angle, deflecting the attack's trajectory.

However, Giger's attack did not end there. He released his hands, and the Muramasa demon sword turned completely black. Then, it split into seven black swords that hovered in the air, their tips pointing directly at Garin.

This move was a technique that Gigg suddenly came up with during the battle. With the Naming Fruit automatically possessing him, he whispered,

"Floating Life with Ten Thousand Blades - Seven Killing Sword"

Seven black swords formed a circle and attacked Garin. Garin lightly touched the ground with his toes and retreated rapidly. The seven black swords were like a leech, relentlessly pursuing him no matter where he appeared.

Seeing that he couldn't shake them off, Garin simply stopped and casually swung his hand, knocking one of the swords away. However, the knocked-away sword quickly returned to the sword formation, and the offensive did not diminish at all.

Garin, far from being a bad person, showed an approving expression on his face and finally spoke.

"Using Muramasa to give form to the invisible darkness? Not a bad idea, but the attack power is still not enough!"

Having said that, Garin unleashed a terrifying aura. The red energy that had been wrapped around the wooden sword spread from the blade to his body. He raised the wooden sword and thrust it through the air, letting out a low shout.

"King's Sword - Supreme Ruler!"

hum!

A transparent, blade-shaped shockwave erupted from the tip of his sword, piercing through the seven black blades that were thrusting towards him. The seven black blades trembled slightly in mid-air before falling to the ground together and merging into one.

The shockwave was incredibly fast; before Giger could react, it pierced through his body. He felt a jolt to his soul, as if his entire body had been scattered. His body went limp, and he knelt on one knee. The demon sword Muramasa flew back into his hand to support him.

With an elegant sheathing of his sword, Garin strode toward Giger, speaking as he went.

"This is the swordsmanship of our Figarando family, called the Sword of the King. What do you think of its power?"

Giger took a deep breath and said,

"Very powerful. What exactly is this invisible sword energy?"

Garin walked up to Giger, reached out and pulled him up, saying,

"This is another application of Conqueror's Haki. The Sword of the King is a sword technique that complements Conqueror's Haki. The previous move, the Supreme Technique, was only the first move. It maximizes the mental and spiritual impact of Conqueror's Haki and concentrates it on the sword to unleash its power. Even Logia-type elemental transformations cannot escape it."

It has to be said that this swordsmanship truly embodies the confidence of the Figarando family. The foundation for mastering it is actually Conqueror's Haki. Given the large number of members in the Figarando family, if even one useless person were to appear, this swordsmanship would be at risk of being lost.

Giger nodded slightly and said,

"But my Conqueror's Haki has only just awakened. At most, I can only release it. It's difficult for me to control it as freely as Uncle Garin. It will probably be quite difficult for me to master this swordsmanship."

Garin chuckled a few times, crossed his arms, and said...

"Aren't you being a little too eager for quick results? But it's alright, practicing this sword technique will also enhance your Conqueror's Haki. As I said, the two complement each other."

Hearing this, Giger finally felt relieved. He didn't want to stay here for too long. Even with Garin by his side, the presence of the lurking Grando in the shadows still made him uneasy.

He looked up and asked,

"Uncle Garin, you just said that the Supreme Technique is only the first move of the King's Sword. What are the other moves?"

"The King's Sword has only three forms. The remaining two are the Nation Guardian and the God Slayer. Our ancestor used the last form, God Slayer, to deliver the fatal blow to Joey Boy.

"Then Uncle Garin must have already mastered the final move, right?"

"Yes, but I can't unleash the true power of Godslayer because it requires the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to work in conjunction with it."

At this point, Garin looked somewhat regretful. He patted Giger on the shoulder and said earnestly,

"The Dark-Dark Fruit has finally chosen you. I hope that one day you can show your uncle the true power of this move. Whether the family can go further depends on you."

"Yes, I won't let you down."

"Haha, okay. Next, I'll demonstrate the next two moves for you. From now on, you'll have to figure them out on your own."

Chapter 60 Leaving

For the next month, apart from returning to his palace to rest at night, Jig spent most of his time in the training room with Garin.

During this time, Giger had already informed Ginny, who was at the Naval Academy, that he would be staying in Mary Geoise for a few more days, so that she could rest assured.

What he didn't know was that the bear was already preparing to come find him that day. If he had been even a day later, the bear would probably have flown straight to Mary Geoise, and things would have gotten a bit complicated.

A month later, Giger, whose hair had grown almost to his shoulders, walked out of the training room. In just one month, his demeanor had undergone a dramatic change.

A faint black aura surrounded him, giving him a mysterious and majestic air.

Lucia, who had been waiting outside the training room all day, immediately stepped forward and draped a black cloak over Gigg, saying softly,

"You must be tired, young master. Let's go back and wash up quickly."

Giger smiled and was about to speak when Garin came out of the training room. He put his hand on Giger's shoulder and whispered,

"Gig, I'm very satisfied with your performance today. It seems I won't need to teach you anymore. You can return to the Navy."

Jig was stunned for a moment. He had been so focused on his cultivation that he had almost forgotten that he had been here for a month.

Looking into Garin's slightly tired eyes, Giger was deeply moved. During this time, Garin had devoted himself wholeheartedly to teaching him, putting in even more effort than he had.

Giger pressed down on Garin's hand that was on his shoulder and said,
