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

His mind raced, and he wanted to say something in his defense, but since Garin had said that, it meant he must have plenty of evidence, such as that damned guy, Aramaki!

At this point, his silence was tantamount to consent. The remaining four Elders immediately understood. Satan, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity pass and asked directly,

"Saint Vocuri, why did you send people to spy on Saint Garin's nephew?"

Under everyone's gaze, Vochuli's expression was uncertain. The reason he did this was naturally because he did not want to see the Figarand family's influence spread into the Navy.

Ever since Giger began to make a name for himself in the Navy, he had felt something was wrong. If Giger was allowed to continue developing and eventually became a high-ranking officer in the Navy, would the World Government, especially the orders he issued, still be able to be carried out smoothly?

You have to understand, Giggs is the heir to the Figarand family! Other high-ranking officials wouldn't dare to disobey the World Government's orders, but he truly dared and had the confidence to do so!

If the Figarand family were to completely control the Navy, wouldn't it be like losing an arm for him, one of the Five Elders?

This is absolutely unacceptable to him!

Chapter 82 The Dragon is on the Move Again

At this moment, Vochuli felt rather helpless. He couldn't count on Satan, who was in cahoots with Garin, but the remaining three Elders weren't very reliable either.

Nasujiro started wiping the longsword in his arms again, and Vochuli really wanted to shove the sword into his mouth.

Satan continued to press on relentlessly.

"Saint Vociuli, what do you mean by not saying anything?"

Vochuli clenched his fists, his voice forced out through clenched teeth.

"I just felt that it wasn't right for Gigantomachia, as the heir of the Figarando family, to stay in the Navy all the time, so I sent someone to keep an eye on him, and hopefully find an opportunity to bring him back to Mary Geoise."

This flimsy excuse made the other five elders frown, and Garin even laughed, saying,

"Then I should thank you even more for your concern for my nephew?"

Vochuli didn't dare to utter a word in response to the sarcastic remarks; he chose to remain silent.

Garin didn't press him any further, after all, he had vented his anger enough. Today's events served as a warning to Vochuli, telling the old man not to try anything funny with Gig again.

As he stood up from his chair, Garin waved his hand and said casually,

"That might really be a misunderstanding. But from now on, you won't need to worry about my nephew, Vochuli. If similar misunderstandings happen again, things won't be so easy to handle."

As he spoke, Garin walked to the door, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and smiled.

"By the way, Saint Vochuli, the person you sent to the navy, I think his name is something like Aramu, right? My nephew thinks highly of him, and he's also interested in joining us. Let him stay in the navy. The seas are quite chaotic right now, so don't waste his talent."

After saying that, without waiting for Vochuli to speak, Garin disappeared through the doorway. The other four Elders glanced at Vochuli, said hello, and then left as well.

When only Vochuli remained in the council chamber, he suddenly slammed his fist on the table and said through gritted teeth,

"Damn that Abandoned Farmer! What a waste of that Forest Fruit..."

......

Inside the naval academy,

"Ah!"

While training Aokiji, Aramaki suddenly sneezed. Aokiji couldn't stop in time and punched Aramaki in the face, making him stagger and almost fall to the ground.

"Oh dear! I'm so sorry, Aramaki, I didn't mean to!"

Aokiji quickly stood at attention, looking apologetically at Aramu. Aramu glared fiercely at Aokiji, then flicked a vine at him, sending him flying. He cursed under his breath.

"Damn it! What terrible luck! Why did I have to run into this idiot?! Huh?"

As Huang Mu was cursing, he suddenly felt a chill on his feet. He looked down and found that his feet were frozen to the ground. A layer of ice slowly approached, and a human-shaped ice sculpture emerged from the ice—it was Aokiji, whom he had just slapped away.

Aokiji, adjusting his waist, immediately began to criticize upon meeting him.

"Aramaki, we are conducting physical training. How could you use your Devil Fruit ability?"

Aramaki rolled his eyes helplessly, shattered the ice with a thud, and then delivered a punch to Aokiji's stomach with Armament Haki wrapped around his fist. Aokiji's eyes widened in shock from the impact.

Before he could catch his breath, Huang Mu's fists rained down on him again, as he said as he punched.

"Training, training! You want physical training, huh? I'll give you that today!"

The poor kid Aokiji hadn't mastered Armament Haki yet, and was quickly beaten black and blue by Aramaki, yelling incessantly.

"Stop, stop, stop! I don't know Armament Haki yet! This isn't fair!"

Aramaki showed no sign of stopping, continuing his "Ora Ora" chant, and even took a jab at Ryu.

"Fairness? That's the word I hate the most! Go talk to that idiot dragon about fairness!"

call!

A gust of wind swept by, and the dragon suddenly appeared behind Huang Mu, coldly saying,

"Who are you talking about?"

"Ok?"

Huang Mu raised an eyebrow, turned his head and saw the Dragon Queen, and immediately said sarcastically,

"Hey? Isn't this the cool dragon? You seem to have recovered your composure?"

Long squinted, glanced at Aokiji who was covering his face and panting, and said,

"What kind of skill is it to bully a newbie who can't use Armament Haki? How about we have a contest?"

He was already quite angry with Huang Mu that day, and on top of that, he heard Huang Mu speaking ill of him as soon as he arrived. All the pent-up frustration from the past few days exploded at this moment.

Huang Mu raised his chin, speaking arrogantly.

"Fine! To be honest, I wanted to get back at you the day I joined the army!"

"me too."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly rose up around the dragon, causing Huang Mu's face to tremble violently, creating a rather comical and expressive scene.

Click, click, click!

The ground cracked open, and countless thick tree roots emerged from the cracks, connecting to Huangmu's feet.

The clash between the two natural types was characterized by its grand scale, drawing the attention of all the trainees on the training field.

Aokiji stared at the two of them, completely bewildered, thinking to himself,

"What's going on? Why did these two suddenly start fighting?"

While he was still stunned, a force suddenly pulled him backward and flew out, finally landing with a thud on his back against a hand.

Aokiji turned his head sharply and found Giger smiling at him.

He quickly said,

"Senior Gig, Huangmu and Long are about to fight! They're not training, you need to go and stop them!"

Not long ago, after the battle between Gigg and the three dragons, given that Gigg already possessed the strength to serve as a lieutenant general, Zephyr allowed Gigg to instruct other students at the school in the future, and that Gigg could temporarily manage all affairs of the school when he was away.

After all, judging from that battle, Giger already possessed the qualifications in both physical skills and domineering aura. Moreover, he was a major general, and the trainees all respected him.

With Giger around, Zephyr had a lot less to do, but Kong wouldn't let such an important combatant like him just sit around drinking tea at headquarters, and would give him a few missions from time to time.

Zefa was already considered a retired general, but he was dragged out again. However, since he took in Gigg and his group of students, his morale has recovered a lot, and he is now willing to accept missions.

Zefa isn't at school today, so as the hidden second-in-command, Giger naturally has to take on the responsibility of managing the school.

Giger glanced at the two, Ryu and Aramu, who were facing off, then casually patted Aokiji on the shoulder and said,

"Don't panic, let me check how well the dragon is recovering."

Aokiji was taken aback by these words and asked hesitantly,

"But they've even used their Devil Fruit abilities, which will severely damage the area. What will happen when Zephyr-sensei returns..."

"Relax, let me observe the situation first. If they make too much of a fuss, I'll take action."

Chapter 83 Wild Shepherd VS Dragon

Long slowly raised his hand, and a miniature tornado emerged from his palm. Huang Mu chuckled, and all ten of his fingers transformed into tentacle-like vines.

Upon seeing this, all the newcomers on the field moved closer to where Giger was, only to find that their seniors were already standing there.

There's no way around it; just the presence of Giger, Kizaru, Akainu, and the others gives people an extremely strong sense of security.

With these people around, they could simply watch the show without worry, since the battle scenes of Logia-type characters were quite impressive.

With a powerful figure nearby, the trainees began to relax and start discussing amongst themselves.

"Hey, isn't that Long? I haven't seen him since school started."

"He's recovering from his injuries. Didn't you see how badly Senior Giger beat him up that day?"

"It's all because he's so talkative. I heard it all the day he joined the army. He came up to me like a clueless kid and started giving pointers to Senior Jige."

"Well, he's a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and the son of Vice Admiral Garp, so of course he's different from us!"

"Tch! What's so great about that? Senior Giger is also a Logia type, tsk tsk, defeating three other Logia type users in one go, no wonder he's my idol!"

"Yeah, look at how calm Senior Giger is! I really admire him so much!"

"Alright, wipe your drool. What are you doing, a guy, drooling over a girl?"
