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

Giger was genuinely bewildered by Huang Mu's behavior. Huang Mu's current actions reminded him of someone: his number one lackey, Spandam.

Aramu clasped his two enormous fists together in front of his chest, and the dark Armament Haki spread across his fists.

This attack nearly exhausted Aramaki's Armament Haki, as his fist was simply too large.

He raised his fists and slammed them down on Giger, roaring.

"Sky Burial Tree Star!"

Giger narrowed his eyes, a serious look appearing on his face. He also released Armament Haki, but his Armament Haki flowed along his right arm.

Among the onlookers, those who didn't know any better thought that the flowing black energy in Giger's hand was the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

However, the veteran generals were all shocked when they saw the Armament Haki on Giger's hands. Garp, who was the most skilled in Armament Haki, was amazed.

"Flowing Haki? Unbelievable! He's actually mastered Armament Haki to this level, and he's still so young!"

Under everyone's gaze, Gigg, who appeared incredibly tiny in front of Huang Mu, threw out his right fist, meeting Huang Mu's massive fists.

However, before Huang Mu's fist could even touch Jig, the domineering aura on Jig's fist instantly condensed into a single point and exploded out, all of it slamming into Huang Mu's fists.

Click!

Fine cracks appeared on Huang Mu's giant wooden fist, which then shattered with a bang. The lingering domineering power that scattered directly knocked Huang Mu back to his original form from his treant state, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

His arms had lost sensation, and even with photosynthesis, it would be difficult to recover in a short time. In the end, it was Giger who pulled him up.

After standing up, he dangled his arms, still managing to flatter them.

"Senior Giger, you are truly amazing! My arms were almost ruined!"

Giger's lips twitched slightly, then he offered a few more words of encouragement as before, which made Huang Mu extremely happy.

After calming down the wild herdsmen, Gigg looked up at the dragon with a somber expression not far away, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Long immediately tensed up, and when Giger appeared in front of him, he immediately used Dragon Hook Claw to grab Giger's right fist.

Jig's punch seemed to be much lighter than Long had imagined. He was delighted, thinking that Jig's stamina had decreased.

However.....

"No-Sword Style: Supreme Control".

Chapter 78 My spirit surpasses yours!

Red Conqueror's Haki flowed across Gigg's fist, and Dragon also subconsciously unleashed his own Conqueror's Haki.

The two Conqueror's Haki clashed, unleashing several streaks of red and black lightning. Fortunately, the people around were not ordinary, so apart from a few students who felt inexplicably dizzy, no one fainted.

However, this once again shocked the generals who recognized Conqueror's Haki. After all, Conqueror's Haki is different from Armament Haki and Observation Haki. It is an absolute talent. If you don't have it, you don't have it. No matter how much you train, it's useless.

Moreover, possessing is one thing, but awakening is another.

A person who awakens Conqueror's Haki is destined to be extraordinary; placed on the high seas, they would undoubtedly be a powerful figure who could suppress a region.

Those who awaken Conqueror's Haki are extremely rare in the Navy, so in the eyes of these Navy officers, Navy personnel who have awakened Conqueror's Haki are even rarer than Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

On the field, Long's face was drenched in sweat, while Giggs remained calm, saying indifferently,

Is this all the spirit you have left?

Upon hearing this, the dragon roared furiously, trying to boost its morale in this way.

He could accept losing to Giger in terms of strength, but he could not accept losing to Giger in terms of spirit, because that would mean that his firm beliefs had been completely shattered by Giger.

However, his Conqueror's Haki was clearly not systematically trained; he could only "release" it to a certain extent. Simply shouting could not enhance the strength of his Conqueror's Haki.

However, Gigg had trained properly under the tutelage of Garin, a top authority with Conqueror's Haki, and his mastery of the ultimate technique gave him control over his aura far surpassing that of a dragon.

Giger admired the dragon's impotent rage for a while, then his gaze sharpened, and the Conqueror's Haki on his right fist instantly gathered, transforming into a blade-shaped shockwave that pierced through the dragon's body.

The dragon shuddered, its eyes gradually turning white. Under everyone's gaze, it knelt down in front of Giger with a thud, murmuring with its remaining consciousness,

"Why...?"

Unlike how he had helped Aokiji and Aramaki, Giger didn't reach out to help them up. Instead, he turned and left, leaving behind only one sentence.

My spirit surpasses yours!

These words were the final straw that broke the camel's back; he completely lost consciousness, and his head slumped heavily.

Swish!

【Transfer station of world-weary novels 1 7 9 9 4 3 1 6 4】

A figure swept past Gigg and rushed to Long's side, helping him up.

At this moment, the only person who would come to care about Dragon is his own father, Garp.

Garp shook the dragon's body hard, but the dragon showed no signs of waking up. In desperation, Garp raised his hand and slapped the dragon hard across the face. With a loud "smack", the dragon slowly woke up from its coma.

Upon waking, ignoring the burning sensation on his cheek, he murmured as if possessed.

"I've lost, utterly lost..."

Looking at the dejected dragon, Garp sighed silently.

Given his personality, he certainly wouldn't have the idea of ​​going after Giger. He had watched the entire battle from beginning to end, and Giger had completely defeated the dragon head-on. He even voluntarily gave up his Hollowfication, giving the dragon a chance to fight him. This was more than enough.

As for Gig's attitude towards the dragon, it's understandable. Zefa had already told him that the dragon had verbally offended Gig first, and the dragon had also started the fight. In short, it was Gig's own fault.

Even without these factors, Giggs's impression of dragons wouldn't be good.

His identity destined him to be on the opposite side of Long from the very beginning. If it weren't for the many people around, Long's defeat would have been far more severe than simply fainting.

......

Jig walked casually into the crowd and joined the classmates who had come to cheer him on.

Ginny threw herself into Giger's arms, excitedly describing to him how cool he had been. Lucia stood quietly to the side, gazing tenderly at Giger's profile.

Akainu gave a thumbs-up, and Kizaru, with his signature smile, said...

"It's all thanks to you, Giger! Well done!"

The bear then raised its hand, looked at Giger, and said,

"Brother, let me help you relax."

Giger waved his hand and laughed.

"No need, it was just to assess the newcomers' abilities; it didn't take much effort."

His composure made the surrounding generals feel ashamed, especially those who had previously questioned Giger's abilities.

Some lieutenant generals asked themselves honestly whether they could win against the three of them, let alone win as easily as Giger.

After witnessing Giger's battles, no one would believe that Giger's achievements were just boasts. His rank of major general was absolutely well-deserved, and based on his abilities alone, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give him the rank of lieutenant general.

Zefa was also very satisfied with Giger's performance.

He saw no weaknesses in Giger, whether it was his Devil Fruit ability, Haki, swordsmanship, or physical skills; he could be considered the perfect student in his mind.

Thinking of this, Zephyr couldn't help but glance at Kizaru. Kizaru seemed to sense this, turning to meet Zephyr's gaze before immediately looking away as if avoiding a plague. He thought to himself,

"I'm speechless. That look from the old man is definitely meant to lecture me again. What did I do to offend him this time?"

Aokiji trotted over, looking at Giger with adoration, and said,

"Senior Giger, what was that move you just made? It looked really cool! Do we teach that at school too?"

Upon hearing this, Zephyr, who was standing next to him, looked embarrassed. As the chief instructor of the naval academy, he said that he didn't know this move either, and that he would never be able to learn it in his lifetime.

Giggs knew that Aokiji did not possess the aptitude for Conqueror's Haki, so he once again used his most proficient technique: drawing a picture of a cake.

"That's Conqueror's Haki. You can't learn it yet. When you awaken Conqueror's Haki one day, I will personally teach you how to use it."

Upon hearing this, Aokiji immediately expressed his excitement and said that he would definitely work hard.

It has to be said that Aokiji at this age is indeed easy to fool. He is completely a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), which explains why he thought Garp's refusal to be promoted to admiral was very cool in the original work.

Giger had made up his mind that he must properly train... no, teach, and he absolutely could not let Garp lead him astray again.

Giger now sees the entire navy as his own, and he wants to imprint his will deeply into it, ultimately making this massive war machine completely obedient to him.

As a Celestial Dragon, he naturally didn't want the doves to become too powerful. Whether now or in the future, the Navy needed the hawks to step forward.

Chapter 79 The True Identity of Huang Mu

Because the dragon has not yet recovered from the psychological trauma it suffered, it has been temporarily taken away by Garp and will probably recuperate with Garp for a while.

Aokiji and Aramaki went directly back to the Naval Academy with Giger and the others, and were assigned to dormitories with the other freshmen. Aramaki, Aokiji and Ryu, who did not come, shared a dormitory.

As the group disbanded, Giger found an opportunity to lean close to Huang Mu and whispered,

"Wait for me at the school's training ground tonight."

Huang Mu paused for a moment, wanting to say something, but was silenced by a shushing gesture from Ji Ge.

Jig gave Huang Mu a deep look, then quickly left.

......

As evening fell, the dormitory lights were already off. After Aokiji's snoring began, Aramaki left a wooden figure on the bed while he himself transformed into vines and slipped out through the window cracks.
