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

Chapter 102 Black Dragon General

Compared to Sora and the others at headquarters, Giger, the protagonist of this incident, acted as if nothing had happened. After returning to his G1 branch, he first informed Ginny Lucia that he was safe and sound, and then went to his office to handle official business as usual.

After news of the Golden Lion's death spread, Giger could no longer keep a low profile; he had become the focus of the world by stepping on the Golden Lion's head.

Even Garin called Giger via Den Den Mushi, and after learning the details of Shiki's death, he was amazed.

It was clear that Garin was quite happy, and the uncle and nephew had a very pleasant conversation. During the conversation, Garin also revealed to Zig that the World Government was discussing Zig's promotion to Admiral.

Vochuli naturally wanted to object, but unfortunately Giggs's record this time was so impressive that he couldn't find any words to refute it.

So shortly after Garin spoke with Giger, Giger's appointment letter as general was issued.

It took Giger only one year to go from graduating from naval school to becoming an admiral.

Marineford

At the port, surrounded by his subordinates, Giger disembarked from the warship, where his troops were already standing to welcome him.

They stared at Giger's young face with complicated expressions.

This is a naval admiral who is not even twenty years old!

Even now, many of them are still recovering from this incident.

Ginny and Lucia followed Giger on either side as they walked toward the center of Marineford, amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the soldiers.

Upon arriving at the headquarters building, Giger went upstairs alone and entered Marshal Kong's office.

Inside the office, besides Kong, there were also a group of veteran figures such as Tsuru, Zephyr, and Garp.

Looking at Jig in front of him, Kong's eyes were also full of amazement.

He then handed the letter of appointment as general and a general's uniform to Gigg, and solemnly said,

"Gig, in recognition of your merit in slaying the Golden Lion, the World Government has decided to award you the rank of General, codenamed Black Dragon!"

After this set of official rhetoric was finished, Kong's expression immediately softened. He patted Giger on the shoulder and said,

"Gig, you've given me so many surprises. Keep up the good work, I believe that becoming a Marine Admiral is definitely not your final goal!"

Sora's words came from the bottom of his heart, and even Sengoku and the others next to him thought so.

A nineteen-year-old admiral has so many possibilities for the future.

Zefa stepped forward, took the navy cloak from Giger, and personally helped Giger put it on. When Giger walked out of the headquarters building wearing the brand-new navy cloak, all the soldiers who passed by stopped and saluted him.

Meanwhile, Zig was taken to the naval academy by Zephyr. As a teacher, he understood the importance of role models all too well. With such a naval admiral as a role model, wouldn't those little brats be completely confused?

On the training grounds of the naval academy,

Huang Mu lay on the ground, dozing off with his hands behind his head, until a large cloud of freezing air swept over him, instantly turning him into an ice sculpture.

Before he could even come to his senses, a wind blade flew in from nowhere and cut him in half.

Click!

The ice shattered, and Aramaki reconnected his body, turning to roar at Aokiji and Ryu, who were locked in combat.

"You two have a death wish! How dare you disturb my rest!"

Hearing Aramu's roar, the two stopped. Aokiji scratched his head and said,

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Aramaki, I didn't control my abilities well."

Dragon showed no intention of apologizing; he simply asked Aokiji,

"Do you still want to fight?"

Aokiji waved his hand in response.

"That's enough for today, let's call it a day."

After hearing this, Long turned around without saying a word and walked towards the corner. Qingzhi went to Huangmu's side, sat down with a thud, and casually handed Huangmu a bottle of iced soda, saying,

"Arama, I heard that Senior Giger returned to headquarters today. I really want to go see him!"

Aramaki tilted his head back and gulped down the iced drink Aokiji handed him. He smacked his lips, finding the taste a bit strange, but didn't think too much of it. He said...

"You can't just see Senior Jig whenever you want. He's here today to take up his post as a general. You'd better get a rank first."

"Sigh! I really want to graduate soon..."

While the two were chatting, several exclamations suddenly came from the entrance of the training ground. The two turned around and saw who had come in from the entrance. Huang Mu dropped his water bottle on the ground with a thud.

Aokiji jumped to his feet, shouting with delight.

"It's Senior Jig!"

Snapped!

Aramaki smacked Aokiji on the head from behind and scolded him.

"You should be called General Black Dragon!"

After saying that, Huang Mu rushed over, shouting as he ran.

"General Black Dragon!"

His shout caused all the trainees on the training field, except for the dragon in the corner, to rush towards the door like madmen, which reminded Giger of the scene of some heavyweight stars on Earth appearing at the boarding gate.

The students surrounded Giger like stars around the moon, leaving Zefa, the teacher, out in the cold. However, Zefa didn't care; he just watched with a smile.

Aramaki and Aokiji squeezed to the front using their strength, and Giger immediately let them come to him, smiling as he asked,

"No need to call me General Black Dragon anymore. Back in school, I'm still your senior, Aramaki Kuzan. It's been a year. How have you all been doing at school?"

Huang Mu patted his chest and said,

"Senior Jige, I have been working hard to cultivate myself for the past year in order to follow in your footsteps!"

Aokiji, standing to the side, curled his lip and immediately exposed the lie.

"Who was that sleeping on the ground just now?"

"..."

Aramaki's expression froze. He glared fiercely at Aokiji, then smiled broadly at Giger and said...

"Senior Jige, don't listen to this idiot's nonsense, I really have been working hard to cultivate!"

Jig crossed his arms and looked at Huang Mu with a half-smile. Huang Mu didn't dare to look into Jig's eyes and lowered his head guiltily.

Next, Giger was bombarded with questions from his younger schoolmates.

"Senior Giger! Can you tell us about the Battle of Eddwall? Who was stronger, Shiki or Roger?"

"Senior Giger! Can you beat Professor Zephyr now?"

"Senior Giger! Do you have a girlfriend now? If not, what do you think of me...?"

"Senior Jige..."

Giger responded to each person with a smile, but his eyes glanced at the dragon standing in the corner. The dragon was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and the noisy crowd gradually quieted down. They felt a faint but powerful pressure.

Chapter 103 Hint

Zephyr frowned. He sensed the Conqueror's Haki emanating from Giger and the dragon. Just as he was about to speak up to stop them, Giger's fingers twitched slightly, and his Conqueror's Haki surged, instantly suppressing the dragon.

The dragon in the corner suddenly changed his expression, and then was overwhelmed by Giggs's Conqueror's Haki, causing him to stagger. When he regained his footing, a fine layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead.

On the other hand, Giger had already looked away and continued talking to his juniors with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

Long clenched his fists. Ever since he was beaten up by Jig when he joined the army, Jig had become his inner demon. In the past two years, he had been cultivating like a madman, but the gap between him and Jig had only widened.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zefa waved for the trainees to disperse and disperse for training. He went back to his office to handle some matters, while Giger stayed at the training ground to help him supervise the trainees.

With Giger present, the trainees were all motivated and eager to show their skills in front of this newly promoted general. Giger would also occasionally pick a few to give some guidance.

Aokiji ran to the dragon and asked,

"Dragon, what are you doing here all by yourself? Why don't you go and say a few words to Senior Jig?"

Long turned his head away and said calmly,

"No need, I have my own cultivation method."

Aokiji, having been rebuffed, turned around and went to find Aramaki, taking the opportunity to complain.

Huang Mu immediately mocked after hearing this.

"I'm telling you, aren't you just being a jerk? What's the point of talking to that guy? Forget it, seeing you like this makes me angry. Let me go and deal with him!"

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and strode arrogantly to Long, who was doing strength training with a large dumbbell. He only glanced at Huang Mu and continued doing what he was doing.

Ignored, Huang Mu raised an eyebrow. He knew that Jig disliked dragons, so he also disliked them.

Two vines sprouted from the ground, wrapped around the ends of the dumbbell, and pulled hard, pulling the dumbbell off and piercing through the dragon's body before crashing heavily to the ground.

The dragon maintained its lifting posture, coldly gazing up at the desolate shepherd, and said...

"ill?"

Huang Mu raised his hand and picked his nose, responding arrogantly.
