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

His preferred Devil Fruit was naturally the Dark-Dark Fruit, but that was only because of the historical connection between the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Figarando family.

This idea was quickly abandoned, because his good nephew had stolen it.

After that, he never had the idea of ​​eating a Devil Fruit again. However, now that he heard that Giger had developed Dark God, he really thought of a Devil Fruit that had left a deep impression on him.

He had personally experienced the power of that fruit, and the scene was also in the Valley of the Gods.

Chapter 105 Experimental Report

Giger could tell from Garin's expression that he was interested, so he quickly pressed for details.

"Uncle Garin, do you have a Devil Fruit you're interested in? Tell me! I'll go get it!"

Garin looked up at Giger with a half-smile. Giger frowned and said...

"Uncle Garin, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you believe in my abilities?"

Garin crossed his arms, tilted his head, and said...

"Of course I believe in your abilities, but the fruit I've set my sights on already has an owner."

Giger became even more excited after hearing this. He thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of NTR... no, of taking the fruit, and immediately patted his chest, saying...

"It's alright, Uncle Lin, just say the word! I'll go kill him!"

Garin nodded and said,

"Alright! I've got my eye on the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Go and get it for your uncle!"

"..."

Giger fell silent immediately. Garin smiled, shook his head, and teased,

"What? Why is our admiral silent? Is killing Whitebeard that difficult for you?"

Giggs turned his head away; there was nothing he could do, he really couldn't beat Whitebeard.

Right now, his strength is barely at the level of an admiral gatekeeper, while Whitebeard is in his prime and is a true Yonko-level pirate. Giggs can fight, but after a hundred or so rounds, he'll have to use Kamui to run away.

However, having already spoken, facing Garin's smiling face, Giger gritted his teeth and said,

"It's not impossible!"

"?"

Garin paused for a moment, then quickly said,

"No, I was just joking. You're no match for Whitebeard right now, don't be silly!"

Giger waved his hand and said,

"Uncle Garin, of course I know that. What I lack most right now is time. Give me a little more time and I can definitely get Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit back to you myself."

"Yes, with your talent, I believe you can do it."

"However, if Uncle Garin is in a hurry, then I'll trouble you to come with me. The two of us working together can definitely kill Whitebeard!"

Upon hearing this, Garin was both amused and exasperated. He reached out and tapped Giger's forehead, saying,

"That's impossible. As the leader of the Knights of God, I am the last line of defense protecting Mary Geoise. Unless someone or something outside poses a significant threat to the Celestial Dragons' status, I absolutely cannot leave the Holy Land."

The Knights of God were essentially a royal guard; no matter how much manpower was needed in the wars outside, they would not be allowed to leave the palace.

Although it may sound a bit old-fashioned, from the emperor's perspective, it was the most reasonable arrangement.

If the Knights of God really leave the Holy Land under Korin's leadership and join forces with the Navy to wipe out the bandits, then unless Whitebeard and the others also unite, it will be a simple rout.

Giger understood this, and he nodded, saying...

"Then there's nothing we can do for now. Uncle Garin, you'll just have to wait a little longer."

"I'm not in a hurry. Whether I eat this fruit or not is not important to me. Just protect yourself and focus on improving your strength."

The concern in Garin's words warmed Gige's heart, but Garin felt a little embarrassed, and the uncle and nephew fell silent.

After a while, the two spoke at the same time again.

"correct......"

"Uncle Garin..."

Both uncle and nephew were taken aback. Garin asked,

"Is there anything else? You can speak first."

Giger nodded and said,

"I saw that kid you pointed out to me on Roger's ship last time."

Garin's body jolted, and he instinctively leaned forward, asking in a slightly urgent tone,

"Does he have red hair?"

"Yes, his name is Shanks. He looks young and is not even as tall as my waist. He should be an apprentice crew member on Roger's ship now."

"How is he? Is he injured?"

"No, but he still lacks combat experience. He even got into a fight with another red-nosed brat on the battlefield and almost got slashed by someone."

Upon hearing this, Garin's hand tightened, and the armrest of the expensive chair shattered instantly. Giger continued,

"I saved him on a whim, which exposed me, so I used my ability to leave without saying a few words to him."

Garin breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and murmured,

"It's good that you're alright. You're such a worry."

Giger smiled, but instead of continuing the topic, he asked,

"Uncle Garin, what were you trying to say to me just now?"

Garin sat up straight, gave Giger a deep look, then took a stack of documents from his pocket and handed them to Giger, saying,

"Look at this."

Giger took it curiously, glanced at it, and then his expression changed drastically, his hands instantly turning dark.

If Garin hadn't acted quickly enough to seize the document, it would have been torn to shreds by the forces of darkness.

Giger remained in the same position, but a darkness like flames was churning around him.

Garin frowned, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki, and said in a deep voice,

"Gig, wake up!"

Giger slowly raised his head; his eyes had become two deep black holes, but Garin could still sense a strong hatred within them.

With a sigh, Garin softened his voice and said softly,

“Gig, I understand the pain that experience caused you, but the information in this document will really help you. It will help you understand your body better!”

Giger took a deep breath, suppressing the dark power that was about to erupt, and took the document from Garin's hand again.

This is an experiment report, and the subject of the experiment was himself.

Giger flipped through the pages expressionlessly. Each page recorded his physical reactions during the experiments, as well as various experimental data.

Every word helped Giger recall everything he had experienced in the laboratory back then.

Garin looked at Giger and said,

"This is because I had Vegapunk reorganize the experiments he did on you back then. By the way, if you want to kill him, I can call him over now."

Giger shook his head and said,

"No need, Uncle Jialin. He was forced by Grando back then. If it weren't for him, I would have died of pain on the experimental table long ago. Grando was afraid of affecting the experimental results, and he didn't even want to use anesthetic on me."

He continued flipping through the documents in his hands, saying,

"Moreover, Vegapunk is still very useful to the World Government, so killing him would be a huge waste."

Suddenly, Giger stopped what he was doing, and a look of deep astonishment appeared on his face. On the page he was looking at, a passage caught his attention.

"Demon Factor and Green Blood".

Chapter 106 Vegapunk

"I've had green blood implanted in my body?"

Looking at the report in his hand, Giger recalled some things about Green Blood.

Because this report was produced by Vegapunk, he also wrote some of his own opinions into it, which allowed Giger to better understand the role of the green blood in his body.

In the original work, the green blood was used by Vegapunk on Seraphim, and its purpose was to give Seraphim the ability to copy Paramecia-type Devil Fruits.

To put it simply, green blood is a carrier used to hold the bloodline factors of those with special abilities.

The green blood used on Giger did not carry the bloodline factor of an ability user, but rather the bloodline factor of two special races: the Mink Tribe and the Lunaria Tribe.

Furthermore, the green blood used on him was the original version. Compared to the one used on the Seraph later, this original green blood was more powerful, but correspondingly, it was also more violent.

It has extremely high requirements for the host's physical condition, and Vegapunk had no intention of using it at all. In his view, the original Green Blood was a potent poison.

However, Grando valued the characteristic of green blood being able to bear bloodline factors, and he believed that the bloodline of the Figarando family was enough to withstand the power of green blood, so he immediately injected both into Giger.
