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

Although Ginny seems to be the least noticeable one among the Supernovas, she is actually the most unapproachable person at school besides Giggs.

When Ginny entered, she first turned to Gigg and gave him a charming smile. But when she faced Onigumo, the smile disappeared, and she looked completely focused.

Locked onto by Ginny's gaze, Onigumo suddenly felt as if he were completely exposed, and quickly covered his six spider-like hairs in front of him to calm himself down.

After the two got into position, the match began.

Onigumo struck first, rushing in front of Ginny and unleashing a storm of attacks using the Eight-Sword Style.

Ginny's petite figure moved nimbly among the sword shadows, accurately dodging the incoming blades each time.

Seeing this, Giger on the high platform nodded slightly. Ginny's talent in Observation Haki was indeed top-notch, no wonder she was able to crack the Den Den Mushi signal when she was in God Valley.

Seeing that it couldn't hit her, Oni Spider split off its hair again, turning it into black tentacles, trying to entangle Ginny.

This move looks a bit evil; if it were on Earth, some people would call it perverted.

Ginny also disliked Onigumo's hair. Perhaps to make it more cohesive, Onigumo didn't like to wash his hair, so it looked shiny and oily, which was unbearable for a clean girl like Ginny.

She quickly tucked both guns into her waistband, flipped over, placed one hand on the ground, and stood upside down.

Then, she exerted force with her wrists, causing her body to swing, her pair of long, white legs coming together and spinning like a windmill as her body swayed.

"Lan Jiao·Zhou Duan!"

Swish!

A circular slash spread out, instantly severing the incoming hair. Onigumo hurriedly used his sword to protect his body, but the slash struck his blade, causing him to stagger backward.

The distance between the two increased, which presented Ginny, the gunslinger, with an excellent opportunity to attack.

Onigumo realized this too, and he immediately held up eight swords and rushed towards Ginny, trying to get close again.

Ginny drew her two guns, crossed her arms, and fired several shots in quick succession. Each bullet accurately struck the part of Oni Spider's hair where he was holding the knives, knocking the six knives from his hair to the ground.

With only two knives left in his hands, Onigumo was wide open. Ginny narrowed her eyes and wrapped Armament Haki around the bullets in the gun barrel.

Then, another burst of fire followed, and Onigumo wrapped his Haki around his twin swords, slashing at the incoming bullets several times.

However, the bullets imbued with domineering power were not something he could easily cut through. After a series of maneuvers, he looked down at the two smoking bullet holes in his clothes, gave a bitter laugh, and knelt down on the ground, clutching his stomach.

The bullet didn't pass through his body, which shows that Ginny's control over the output of Armament Haki was just right.

Moreover, given Onigumo's physique, even if a gunshot wound to a non-vital area were to penetrate, it wouldn't be fatal; at most, it would only temporarily render him unable to move.

After a short while, Onigumo also got up, admitted defeat, and walked away with his head hanging low.

Ginny cheered and turned to blow a kiss to Giger. The students watching below immediately erupted in cheers, which made Ginny shy. She dared not look at Giger anymore and covered her face as if she were running away.

Kizaru cast another intriguing glance at Giger, who simply ignored it.

The exam continued until the afternoon, when two groups advanced.

They are a bear and a flying squirrel, and Ginny and Lucia.

The results of these two groups were not surprising; the final showdown was between Xiong and Lucia.

Since it is already late, the final is scheduled for tomorrow morning. After the winner is determined, the exam format for the three candidates will be announced and the exam will be held in the afternoon.

Chapter 88 Lucia VS Big Bear

The next day, there were even more people watching the game than the day before, including many reporters.

Many people want to see how much those three Logia-type Devil Fruit users, who received so much attention as soon as they entered the Navy, have grown after three years of training.

Of course, the "final" between Lucia and Kuma, these two supernovas, also garnered a lot of attention.

A stunningly beautiful woman and a burly man nearly seven meters tall—their mere presence alone creates a striking visual impact.

Xiong was not good with words, and Lucia, apart from Giger, was rarely seen speaking more than a few words to anyone else.

So when the two entered the court, the atmosphere was unusually quiet. Even after the referee announced the start, the two remained motionless, seemingly waiting for the other to make the first move.

Finally, it was Giger on the high platform who spoke.

"Lucia, you go first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lucia instantly drew her sword, unleashed a burst of sword energy, and then rushed towards the bear opposite her with the speed of a black light.

The bear, who had been standing like a statue, finally moved. He raised his hand and slapped away the incoming sword energy. The moment the sword energy disappeared, Lucia followed closely and swung her sword to strike.

The bear calmly extended its palm again, using its paw pads to block the slash.

Lucia narrowed her eyes as she looked at the blade embedded in the fleshy pad. The Paw-Paw Fruit's power was indeed troublesome; even a famous sword couldn't effectively damage this fleshy pad.

To defeat a bear, you must avoid its paw pads and look for opportunities to attack other parts of its body.

Bear raised his other hand and slapped it down at Lucia. Dalmesia, standing on the sidelines, felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Bear's action; he had almost been slapped to death by that move.

However, Lucia was far superior to Dalmesia in both her Devil Fruit abilities and physical prowess. She simply touched the ground with her toes and vanished instantly.

Lucia instantly teleported to the side and entered her human-beast form, spreading her wings and soaring into the sky. She looked down at the bear below, a purple flame burning in her eyes.

"The Eye of Fallen".

Xiong looked up at Lucia, his momentary daze quickly returning to normal.

Lucia looked surprised. She had just stirred up the bear's desires, but the bear didn't seem to be affected much.

"Did he use Haki to remove my Devil Fruit power? Is his Haki that strong?"

Giger, standing on the platform, suddenly spoke.

"That bear... has incredibly low desires."

He knew that Kuma's Haki strength wasn't strong enough to so easily dispel Lucia's abilities. The reason he wasn't affected much was simply because Kuma was a person with low desires.

The bear shook its head, thinking to itself,

What was that warm feeling just now?

After being affected by Lucia's power, Xiong was reminded of the scene of living in the church in the Kingdom of Sorbe with Gigg and Ginny. He did think about how wonderful it would be if they could live like that forever!

The burning desire that caused him unbearable pain only fueled his yearning for the beautiful life he envisioned; it can only be said that one thing counters another.

Lucia was unaware of these things; she ultimately concluded that the bear had used an extremely powerful form of Haki.

However, besides its special effects, her Flame of Desire is also extremely hot, but it is more harmful to people with strong desires.

Speaking of which, let me mention a certain fruit from the Natural category.

With purple flames blazing around her, Lucia fully entered her Fallen Angel form, her long purple hair flowing freely, and she raised the pendant high in her hand.

Then, she slammed down the burning purple flames of the Falling Light.

"Judgment Day!"

boom!

A purple pillar of fire descended from the sky, erupting into a raging sea of ​​fire that engulfed the bear's figure.

The generals on the stage couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement at this scene. Based on this move alone, Lucia was undoubtedly the number one among the female trainees.

Even Tsuru, the current strongest female naval officer, was deeply impressed, knowing all too well how difficult it was for a woman to possess such strength.

Gion fell silent; she had to admit that Lucia was far superior to her.

Her eyes reflected the surging purple flames on the field, and she thought to herself,

"If I also eat a Devil Fruit, can I bridge the gap between us?"

Ginny, her face filled with worry, gazed at the sea of ​​fire in the arena and said...

"Lucia is really strong! Is Bear Cub alright?"

Lucia flapped her wings in the air, never daring to take her eyes off the ground for a moment.

Suddenly, a giant, transparent bear paw emerged from the center of the sea of ​​fire, then exploded instantly. The powerful impact dispersed the purple flames, clearing a large open space in the center of the arena, revealing the bear's silhouette.

The bear is crouching down, with one hand on the ground, and below it is a bear paw-shaped pattern.

His upper body clothing had several holes burned through by the flames, and his skin below was blackened; Lucia's attack had indeed been effective.

However, given Xiong's physical abilities, this level of burn was completely within acceptable limits; he could even deflect the pain and redirect it onto Lucia.

He just wouldn't choose to use that tactic against his own people.

The bear gently rubbed its paws together and then spread them out. The surrounding air quickly condensed between its paws, forming a huge bear paw bubble.

He squeezed it with both palms, and the bubble began to shrink in size, eventually forming a mini version of a bear paw bubble.

The students in the same cohort as Xiong instinctively took a step back when they saw the miniature bubble; they knew the power of this move.

Lucia's pupils also contracted; she had seen Kuma use this move when she fought the Whitebeard Pirates.

She immediately held the flaming pendant upright in front of her chest, and her entire body burst into flames of purple fire once again. Then, she plummeted downwards like a purple meteor.

"The Fallen Angel's Hammer!"

At that moment, the bear pushed the compressed bear paw bubble toward Lucia.

"Bear Paw Impact".

boom!

An explosion rang out, creating a powerful gust of wind that sent a shower of black feathers fluttering down. Lucia landed slowly on the ground, glanced at her bleeding left arm, and said calmly,
