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

Giger stood to one side, silently gazing at the sea.

......

Advorore Sea

"Lion·Senkiriya!"

"God avoids!"

Roger, wielding the Supreme Grade Sword Ace which emitted red and black lightning, leaped into the air and blocked several incoming golden slashes.

Back on the ship, Rayleigh approached Roger and said with a grave expression,

"Roger, the situation is very unfavorable for us now. If we continue fighting, I'm afraid..."

Roger was certainly aware of this as well. The Golden Lion's Flying Pirates had a large number of people and ships, and the members were not the kind of weaklings who could be easily stunned by Conqueror's Haki.

What's most troublesome is Shiki's ability. He has absolute air superiority on this sea and can also manipulate seawater to attack, making him extremely difficult to deal with for Roger's crew, which only has one ship.

Some members of the Flying Pirates had already boarded the Jackson, where Roger was, and a fierce battle ensued on the ship.

The golden lion, floating in the air, laughed heartily and shouted down at Roger below.

"Roger, it's not too late for you to regret it. Become my subordinate! Let's rule the world together!"

Roger snorted and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, instantly creating a massive wave on the sea. He was responding to Shiki with Conqueror's Haki.

On the deck, a red-haired boy and a red-nosed boy stood back to back, watching Roger's retreating figure. A hint of longing appeared in the red-haired boy's eyes as he turned his head and said...

"Bucky, Captain Roger was really awesome!"

The red-nosed boy, wielding two swords, felled an enemy much taller than himself and said irritably,

"Shanks, you still have the nerve to flatter the captain? Save your own life first!"

The two would later become the Four Emperors: Shanks and Buggy the Joker.

Both of them are only twelve years old now.

Upon hearing Buggy accuse him of flattery, Shanks was immediately displeased and wanted to retort. However, this distracted him, and a member of the Flying Pirates rushed up behind him, raising his sword at Shanks' head, grinning maliciously as he shouted...

"Go to hell, little devil!"

By the time Shanks noticed the enemy behind him, it was too late. His eyes widened, and the gradually enlarging blade was reflected in his pupils.

Roger always cared deeply for Shanks. Even while fighting Shiki, he would frequently check on Shanks and immediately rush to his rescue if he saw him in danger.

Suddenly, a dark vortex appeared in front of Shanks, and after Giggs' figure materialized, he grabbed the arm of the pirate in front of him.

With a scream, the pirate who was about to cut Shanks clutched his twisted arm in terror. Before he could figure out what was happening, Giggs raised his hand again and pressed it against his face, and a dark vortex appeared.

Before Shanks's dazed eyes, a headless corpse, gushing blood, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Shanks was completely stunned as he watched the navy coat fluttering behind Giger.

Giger slowly turned around, looking down at Shanks, who was barely waist-high, and said calmly,

"Didn't Roger teach you not to get distracted during battle?"

Chapter 98 The Roger Pirates in Peril

"You are... a Marine!?"

Shanks stared wide-eyed, looking up at Giggs with disbelief.

Bucky, who had been kicked to the ground, got up. When he saw Gigg's face, his body trembled violently, and he pointed at Gigg, stammering,

"General candidate, Black Dragon!"

"Nani!?"

Shanks was startled and took a step back, but Zig suddenly flicked his hand, and a black knife appeared in his hand. This action startled Shanks and Buggy. At that moment, a golden sword aura descended from the sky.

sulfuric acid!

A sharp collision sound rang out, followed by a powerful shockwave. Bucky and Shanks were thrown to the ground by the shockwave, and when they looked up again, they froze in place.

Giger raised his sword with one hand, blocking a huge golden slash, his navy cloak fluttering in the wind.

This slashing wave was clearly unleashed by Golden Lion. Just now, he followed Roger's gaze and spotted Gigg who had suddenly appeared. Upon seeing Gigg's naval uniform, he immediately unleashed a sword aura at him without hesitation.

But to his utter surprise, his sword attack was so easily parried by the navy officer.

Even Roger's face showed a hint of surprise. The fight between the two temporarily stopped. Roger carefully examined Gigg's face and suddenly said,

"So it was him. It seems the Navy wasn't exaggerating."

The golden lion frowned and said,

"Roger, what are you talking about? Do you know that navy officer?"

"Hehe, he is Giger, who was listed as a candidate for admiral a year ago, codenamed Black Dragon."

After listening for a moment, the Golden Lion suddenly realized what was happening.

"I remember now, that so-called leader of the Navy's supernovas, he even fought Newgate once."

As the two were talking, Giger's black blade trembled, dispersing the sword energy. He looked at the golden lion, then his figure twisted and disappeared from the spot.

Both Golden Lion and Roger were taken aback. They looked around, but after a long while, they still couldn't find Gigg. Roger raised an eyebrow and said,

"This ability is really strange. Where did he go?"

However, Shiki attacked again, but fortunately Roger's Observation Haki was stronger. He dodged the attack and glared angrily at Shiki, saying,

"Shiki! The Navy has shown up, are you still going to continue fighting?"

The golden lion chuckled dismissively and replied,

"What navy? He's just a navy brat. Don't even think about interfering in our battle, even if he were a real admiral, let alone a candidate admiral!"

"You're crazy!"

"Hahaha! Compared to Captain Rocks back in the day, I'm nothing!"

Meanwhile, Gigg had already returned to the warship. Garp rushed over as soon as he saw Gigg, asking anxiously,

"Gig, how's Roger doing?"

Garp's words sounded rather awkward to Sengoku; they sounded more like he was concerned about Roger.

Giger looked up at the dim sky and said,

"The Roger Pirates are already showing signs of defeat. By the time we get there, the battle over there will probably be over."

Upon hearing this, Garp became even more anxious, throwing off his cloak in an attempt to use Moonwalk to travel. Sengoku reacted quickly, grabbing him and scolding him angrily.

"What are you going to do? Wouldn't it be a good thing for our Navy and the world if either Roger or Shiki were to be wiped out?"

Garp's expression froze when Sengoku called out to him, then he fell silent. Sengoku released his grip and turned to Giggs, saying...

"Gig, you should be able to reach the location where Roger and Shiki are fighting now, right?"

Giger nodded. He had used Moonwalk to travel ahead of time, and then used Kamui to teleport after sensing the battle.

Wherever he goes, his spatial coordinates are marked, so he can use his divine power to get there directly next time.

Incidentally, the principle behind Gig's Kamui is to use the gravity of darkness to warp space, thereby achieving the effect of spatial transfer.

Giger nodded and said,

"That's enough. I'll go again later. Even if Golden Lion defeats Roger's crew, they'll definitely be severely weakened. Maybe I'll get some unexpected gains if I go."

Garp wanted to say something more after hearing this, but Sengoku pressed his head down. Sengoku glared at Garp and said to Giger...

"Okay, but you must be careful. If things go wrong, use your abilities to retreat immediately. We just need to know the result!"

Giger smiled slightly and said,

"Don't worry, General of the Warring States Period, I know what I'm doing."

The warship continued sailing forward until a faint rumble of thunder was heard. Standing at the bow, Gigg narrowed his eyes and whispered...

"it's time."

Then, Gigg's figure disappeared into the darkness once again.

......

Advorore Sea

Roger and Shiki's battle continued; both were true Emperor-level powerhouses, and the aftershocks of their fight destroyed more than one ship.

Of course, all the ships belonged to the Golden Lion's side. Roger only had the Jackson, but the hull was sturdy enough, and with the protection of Rayleigh and others, it wouldn't be so easily destroyed.

However, this was no match for the sheer number of Golden Lion's men. After a war of attrition, Roger's crew began to falter.

A large number of pirate ships surrounded the Jackson, and the situation was extremely dangerous for the Roger Pirates.

The Golden Lion, wielding twin swords, clashed with Roger, occasionally letting out bursts of maniacal laughter.

"Roger! It seems today is the end for your pirate crew!"

Roger remained silent. He knew that being anxious now was useless. The only way to get out of this predicament was to eliminate Shiki. Without Shiki, the Flying Pirates would be useless no matter how many people and ships they had.

However, he is not Luffy from the movie, and Shiki is not the battle-damaged version of Shiki with a ship's rudder and both legs missing. Right now, their strengths are evenly matched, and it will be impossible to determine a winner in a short time.
