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

Jiger smiled and said,

"Uncle Garin, someone's got their eyes on our family..."

......

Mary Geoise,

A squad of golden-armored guards appeared before the Topman family's residence. The two men in suits standing guard at the entrance immediately changed their expressions upon seeing them, and one of them quickly stepped forward and asked...

"Excuse me......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Carlos, the leader, kicked him away, using his body to blast open the door.

The remaining man in the suit stood frozen in fear, stiffly turning his head to look at his companion, whose eyes had already rolled back in his head.

Carlos didn't even glance at him again. With a wave of his hand, the golden-armored guards behind him split into two groups and dispersed. Garin Saint, dressed in a black robe, slowly walked forward from behind.

Behind Garin followed a short man wearing a crown and carrying a long flintlock pistol, who was adorned with gold ornaments similar to Garin's.

He wiped the gun in his hand, turned to Garin with a grin, and said...

"Captain, your bodyguard really does things the style of the Figarando family. The Meyer family wouldn't dare to do that."

Garin glanced at him and said indifferently,

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm here to talk to Vochuli about something. Why did you insist on coming along?"

"Of course, we want to borrow your prestige, Commander, and give Vochuli a hard time. Who told that old man to always go against our Knights of God!"

Garin ignored him and walked toward the Topman family's house.

Someone had already informed Vochuli of what had happened at the door. Before Garin had even left, Vochuli arrived with a group of men in suits.

Vochuli, his face grim, stared at Garin, who was at the head of the group, and said in a deep voice,

"Garin, what do you mean by this? You brought so many men to my Topman family and even injured my men!"

Garin's eyes were full of contempt. He stepped forward and released a burst of red Conqueror's Haki, instantly knocking down most of the men in suits around Vochuli.

The remaining ones should be considered elites. Although they weren't knocked unconscious by Conqueror's Haki, their bodies were swaying, and they were barely holding on under the pressure of Garin's Conqueror's Haki.

Upon seeing this, Vochuli's expression changed drastically, his body suddenly swelled up, and four ferocious fangs extended from his mouth, transforming him into a beast-human hybrid.

He stared intently at Garin and roared,

"Saint Garin! You've gone too far! Do you really think no one in the Holy Land can control you?!"

click!

The sound of a bullet being chambered rang out, and the crowned man next to Garin had already raised his gun and aimed it at Vochuli, his previous playful expression vanishing.

"Commander, shall we make our move?"

Without saying a word, Garin flashed and appeared in front of Vochuli.

Vochuli exhaled two deep breaths, clapped his hands together, and the surrounding water vapor instantly gathered, spraying out a powerful high-pressure water cannon.

boom!

A jet-black bullet shot out, shattering the bubble. Garin didn't even draw his sword; he raised his left leg, which was wrapped in red and black lightning, and slammed it hard into Vochuli's bared teeth.

With several loud bangs, Vochuli's body was kicked backward like a large ball by Garin, crashing through several buildings before coming to a stop.

Garin remained standing in the kicking position, surrounded by a group of terrified men in suits.

Chapter 81 Garin Makes His Move

Roar!

A roar echoed throughout Mary Geoise. Inside the Topman family compound, a giant boar rose from the ruins—it was Volchuli, now fully transformed into a beast.

His fruit is the Mythical Zoan type, the Sealed Pig form.

At this moment, a black cloud of flames swirled around his body, one hoof lifted and then slammed heavily onto the ground, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Garin, and he made grunting pig noises.

Throughout the entire process, Garin's expression remained unchanged as he slowly drew the sword from his waist.

The next second, Vochuli roared, a large amount of water vapor swirled around his body, his four thick fangs turned pitch black, and his massive body charged towards Garin.

Garin drew his sword, a strange red light flashing in his pupils, and the red and black lightning on the blade crackled.

The moment Volchuli charged, he swung his sword in a crescent-shaped arc, unleashing a burst of red sword energy that tore through the earth.

"Protect the Nation!"

The sword energy collided with Volchuli, and a powerful shockwave spread out, leveling everything around them.

Click, click, click!

Fine cracks began to appear on Volcholi's four tusks, and large beads of sweat appeared on his huge pig head.

Finally, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and all four fangs shattered. Just as the sword energy was about to strike Vochuli's head, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a knife to block the impact of the sword energy.

The newcomer was also shrouded in black flames, with the lower half of his body being that of a horse made of bones, and the upper half resembling a bald old man wearing a kimono.

He is Nassou, one of the Five Elders.

Not only him, but the other three of the Five Elders also appeared in the arena. Satan glanced around at the dilapidated surroundings, his expression solemn.

Nasujiro narrowed his eyes, and a thick layer of frost began to rise from his sword. Then, with a powerful slash, he completely dispersed the sword energy.

With a light breath, Nasujuro deactivated his human-beast form and landed in front of Vochuri.

He turned and glanced at the slightly disheveled Vochuli, and asked,

"Saint Vochuli, what's going on?"

Volchuli also reverted to human form, and it was clear that he was missing four large teeth.

He wiped the blood from his mouth and said hatefully,

"Karin barged into my clan's territory without provocation and even unleashed his Conqueror's Haki right in front of me! He's utterly lawless!"

After hearing this, Nasujiro turned to look at Garin and asked in a calm voice,

"Karin-sei, don't you have an explanation for this?"

Clang!

Garin sheathed his sword, but before he could speak, Satan stepped forward and said...

“I think there must be some misunderstanding between Saint Garin and Saint Vochuli. Let’s go to the council hall and sit down to talk it over.”

Upon hearing this, Vochuli's eyebrows shot up in anger, and he roared,

"Satan! Look at the state of my family! You think you can just cover this up with a misunderstanding?"

Satan remained unmoved, displaying an air of composure, and replied,

"So what do you want? The commotion you two made while fighting was too great. What will other people think when they see it? Is the dignity of the Five Elders and the Knights of God less important to you than these broken bricks and tiles?"

With that big hat on, Vochuli's old face wore a constipated expression, looking quite disgusted.

The man wearing a crown leaned close to Garin and whispered,

"Commander, Satan Saint's mouth is really good."

Despite his age, Satan's hearing was remarkably sharp. Upon hearing this, his facial wrinkles twitched, he coughed a few times, and then looked at the other three Elders, asking...

"What do you think?"

Nasujuro held the sword to his chest, pondered for a moment, then nodded and said,

"Yes, you're right. We should sort things out first."

The remaining two Elders nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Satan ignored Vochuli and looked directly at Garin, saying...

"Saint Garin, before you go to the council hall, could you please send your men back first? Otherwise, it's too conspicuous."

Galin still gave Satan face, turning around and giving the order for the Crowned Man and the golden-armored guards led by Carlos to leave.

But just before leaving, Wang Guannan suddenly said to Jialin,

"Commander, if you haven't returned by nightfall, I will immediately summon the Knights of God."

After saying that, he glanced at the pale-faced Vochuli, then turned and left with the golden-armored guards.

Upon arriving at the council chamber, the Five Elders sat down in their respective seats, while Garin, as before, sat with his legs crossed in his chair.

Seeing Garin's casual demeanor, Vochuli's pent-up anger finally erupted, and he roared,

"Garin! If you can't give a reasonable explanation today, you can forget about being the captain of the Knights of God!"

These words made Garin laugh. He chuckled and glanced at Satan, who shrugged, meaning, "This has nothing to do with me. I won't support him anyway."

Vochuli glared at Satan and said,

"I know some people will disagree, but that's alright. I'll report this to Lord Im Saint when the time comes!"

Seeing that Vochuli had actually brought up Im, the remaining people exchanged glances, and Satan remained silent.

Only Garin remained calm. He tapped the table lightly and said calmly,

"Alright, I really want to ask, who gave you the authority to send people to monitor my nephew? Was it Lord Im Saint?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention once again focused on Vochuli's old face. He quickly realized that Huangmu had betrayed him!
