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

"..."

As a user of the Wind-Wind Fruit, Dragon possesses extremely keen senses. The students' chatter carried by the wind to his ears, making his expression even more unpleasant.

Huang Mu had been observing Giger's movements. After confirming that Giger had no intention of stopping him, he picked his nose and flicked a black booger at the dragon opposite him.

A booger of snot dripped through the dragon's body and landed on the ground at his feet. Although it didn't touch him, the dragon's face still showed disgust as he said...

You're disgusting!

He suddenly flung the tornado in his hand at Huang Mu, who then sprouted a dandelion on his back and drifted away on the wind.

The dragon transformed into the wind and was about to give chase when the ground beneath its feet suddenly cracked open, revealing a huge man-eating flower with its mouth wide open, exposing a row of jet-black teeth. The dragon's expression changed.

"What?! It's from just now..."

puff!

The man-eating flower suddenly closed, swallowing the dragon whole. Seeing this, the wild shepherd in the sky laughed heartily.

"How does it feel to have a booger in your mouth?"

As a person in a vegetative state, the boogers he just pulled out could naturally turn into seeds, and these seeds were even wrapped in Armament Haki.

"You bastard!!"

The dragon's angry roar came from the man-eating flower's mouth. Then, the man-eating flower exploded, and a hurricane shot into the sky, from which several wind blades shot out, instantly slicing Huang Mu's body into several pieces.

However, very soon, fine branches sprouted from these patches of flesh and quickly connected together. Huang Mu crossed his arms and sneered.

"This kind of technique is useless against me. Wind is an element that has no physical form, and with your level of Armament Haki, you can't attach Haki to an invisible wind."

Long said coldly,

"so what?"

"Hehe, try this one, the Forest Serpent Strangulation!"

Huang Mu spread his arms, which transformed into two thick tree trunks, from which a large number of wooden spikes spewed out, each spike tip gleaming with a jet-black luster.

Immediately afterwards, all the wood spikes grew wildly, rushing towards the dragon in the center from all directions.

This attack has an extremely large range and is infused with Armament Haki, effectively blocking the dragon's retreat.

The dragon's gaze sharpened, and the surrounding air currents converged, forming a spherical shield of wind around his body.

"Wind Barrier!"

The incoming wooden spikes were shredded into fragments by the violent wind the moment they touched the barrier, but there were simply too many of them. Soon, the barrier began to flicker and eventually vanished completely with a soft "poof".

Fortunately, Huang Mu's attack was also at its last gasp. Long roared and released a spiral hurricane, which shredded the remaining wooden spikes and broke free, rushing towards Huang Mu on the other side.

Huang Mu raised his thick eyebrows, entered his treant form, and engaged in a fierce battle with the attacking dragon.

He was once a member of CP0, so he was naturally not weak in physical skills. However, Ryu had received one-on-one coaching from Garp. At first, the two fought back and forth, but as time went on, Aramaki's side clearly showed signs of weakness.

In close combat, the dragon can unleash powerful physical attacks that entwine and possess wind-cutting properties.

On the other hand, Aramaki was at a disadvantage. Once the distance closed, his Devil Fruit ability could only grow vines or thorns from his body to harass the enemy. However, plants without Haki were easily crushed by the dragon's wind.

Aramaki's Armament Haki wasn't at the level where he could use it casually, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and parry. However, the dragon still managed to seize an opening and slapped him down from the air with a dragon claw.

With a loud bang, Huang Mu's body crashed to the ground, creating a large crater. Long followed closely behind, raising his hands to condense a spherical ball of wind, which he then threw into the crater where Huang Mu was.

The vortex exploded in the pit, unleashing a powerful airflow storm that shredded everything underground.

A seed floated out of the pit, landed on the ground and immediately began to grow. Numerous vines intertwined and once again coalesced into Huang Mu's body.

Aramaki looked unwell; he lay on the ground, panting heavily. Seeing this, Aokiji shouted...

"Stop fighting, Aramu! You'll get hurt if you keep fighting!"

Aramaki raised an eyebrow, instinctively wanting to retort to Aokiji, but when he turned and saw Aokiji's worried expression, he paused, stood up, and muttered something.

"Tch! Who wants you, you idiot, meddling in other people's business!"

As he spoke, he looked up at the dragon slowly descending from the sky and muttered to himself,

"I can't let you, you blockhead, look down on me! I'm utterly stern!"

Huang Mu immediately entered his giant treant form, carrying a sea of ​​trees as he charged toward the landing dragon. The dragon, in turn, created a hurricane that collided with Huang Mu.

In fact, the difference in strength between the two is not that great, especially on the ground, where Huang Mu has the advantage, and it is much more difficult for Long to deal with him than in the sky.

Therefore, it is impossible for Long to defeat Huang Mu in a short period of time. During this time, Huang Mu continued to verbally attack Long. Long remained calm and did not retaliate because he was confident that he could win. The more Huang Mu said, the more miserably he would lose.

After the two clashed for a while, Huang Mu could no longer hold on, and the giant tree-man's body collapsed.

Seeing this, Long, who was in better condition than him, couldn't help but show a victor's smile and used his ultimate move, Dragon Hook Claw, to grab Huang Mu.

At this moment, Huang Mu had reached his limit. If this move hit, it would mean the end of the battle.

Just as the dragon was about to enjoy the joy of victory, a dark vortex emerged from beside him, and Gigg finally made his move.

With a snap, Jig grabbed Long's wrist tightly, and Long, covered in sweat, heard Jig's light, airy voice in his ear.

"Okay, that's it."

"puff!"

Chapter 84 The Frustrated Dragon

The dragon spat out a mouthful of blood, whether from exhaustion or anger, it was hard to tell.

He glared with bloodshot eyes and roared.

"Why?! The battle isn't over yet!"

Jiger said lightly,

"When I say it's over, it's over."

These words carried an undeniable air of dominance, and Huang Mu's face flushed with pleasure upon hearing them, inwardly screaming with excitement.

"This is a true Celestial Dragon!"

Dragon, however, could not accept it. As a champion of equality, he could not stand this kind of "authoritarianism." In a fit of anger, he tried to break free.

Giger's hand remained motionless as he spoke softly.

"You asked for this."

hum!

Darkness surged and rose from Gigg's hands, releasing a twisted gravitational force that instantly twisted the dragon's wrist into a pretzel.

"Ahhhh!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky. Long Teng's face was contorted with rage as he crouched down, clutching his horribly mangled wrist, his teeth grinding together.

The students watching were stunned into silence. In their minds, Giger had always been very easygoing, and they had never seen him show such a cold side.

Jessica tugged at Ginny's sleeve and asked softly,

"Ginny, are you scared of Giger like this?"

Ginny shook her head and said,

"Don't worry, this is nothing. Giger is much more ruthless in battle; he's only gentle with his own people."

"So how can I become one of your own, as you say?"

"Haha, Jessica, why are you so nervous? Don't worry, Giger has a good impression of you, he won't hit you!"

"Huh? Why is he doing this to me...?"

"Because the dishes you made at the last gathering were really delicious! Brother Jige even said that if there's a chance in the future, he'll invite you to be the head chef on his warship!"

"Huh? No, no, no, my rank is far too low for the position of head chef. Giger's naval rank is at the general level!"

"What's the big deal? If you want, this is just a matter of a word for Giger."

Jessica's pretty face flushed red. She brushed a strand of blonde hair from her forehead and whispered,

"I, I will definitely work even harder!"

......

Seeing the dragon writhing in pain beyond words, Giger turned and waved to the spectators, saying,

"Two people, carry him to the infirmary."

Many male trainees ran over instinctively upon hearing this. In the end, Giger designated two people, one on each side, to carry the dragon to the infirmary.

After arranging things, Giger also took the opportunity to praise Aramu.

"Huang Mu, you performed very well in the battle just now, and you knew how to obey orders. I'm awarding you a three-day holiday. Go back and get some rest."

After receiving Jig's praise, Huang Mu felt a surge of relief, as if all his fatigue had vanished.

Actually, he doesn't need much rest. His injuries aren't serious; he's just exhausted. For someone in a vegetative state like him, all he needs is to get some sun and photosynthesis.

A few days later, when Zephyr returned to the naval academy, he saw that nearly a third of the training grounds had been destroyed, and that Dragon had bandages wrapped around his hands and a gloomy expression on his face.

Upon seeing this, Zephyr's first reaction was that he wondered how the dragon had managed to provoke Gig again.

But then he thought that with Giger's strength, dealing with a dragon wouldn't cause such great damage. After he asked Giger about the cause of the matter, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
