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

The sound of clothes tearing rang out, and Giger groaned. To Gulando's astonishment, a pair of enormous black wings extended from Giger's back, suspending him in mid-air.

The moment the wings appeared, the flames on the back of Giger's neck suddenly enlarged, turning into a raging inferno.

A look of surprise appeared on Giger's face. He knew that the Lunaria bloodline factor in his body had finally been fully awakened!

The changes in his body continued. In his Luna form, his black wings eventually turned white again, and at this moment, Giger looked like an angel.

He looked down at Gulando, the flames behind him radiating terrifying heat.

Gulando snapped out of his daze, his face lighting up with wild joy, and shouted,

"It's perfect! This body is mine!!"

As he descended into madness, Gigg, carrying raging flames, plummeted from the sky like a fiery meteor.

Gulando's body was instantly engulfed by a sea of ​​fire, while Giggs landed to the side, watching the raging flames ahead.

Suddenly, a cloud of blood shot out from the sea of ​​fire, transforming into a gigantic, blood-red maw that lunged at Gigg.

"I can't wait any longer! Give me your body now!!"

Giger's expression changed. He didn't know what other strange abilities Gulando's Blood-Blood Fruit possessed, so to be on the safe side, he immediately tried to enter Kamui mode.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Giger; it was Garin.

Garin coldly stared at the approaching Gulando, drew his sword from his waist, and unleashed a sword aura that stretched across the sky.

Gulando was instantly smashed into scattered blood, which splattered onto the surrounding ground.

Before long, the blood scattered on the ground gradually gathered together and solidified into Gulando's body.

He stared at Garin with a grim expression and said,

"Garin, you finally couldn't hold back anymore."

Garin ignored him, turned to face Giger, and after seeing the wings on Giger's back, nodded and said...

"It seems Vegapunk was right, combat is indeed the best way to stimulate your awakening."

With Garin's Observation Haki, he had already sensed Grando's arrival while eating in the palace, and he also knew that Grando had been following him ever since Giger left.

The reason he didn't act immediately was because Giger said during dinner that a battle was needed to stimulate the awakening of the Lunaria bloodline factor.

So he thought of using Grando to help Giger complete his awakening, and also to let Giger experience Grando's power in advance.

In his view, this was a win-win situation, and judging from Giger's current condition, the effect was surprisingly good.

Upon seeing Garin, Giger's tense nerves finally relaxed, and his Luna state was dispelled.

Transforming without the aid of moonlight seemed to take a huge toll on Gig, especially since his opponent was Grando, who possessed the strength of a royal-level being. After reverting to his original form, Gig felt a wave of weakness wash over him, his body swayed twice, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Garin grabbed Giger's shoulder and made him lean against him.

Enraged by being ignored by Garin, Gulando roared,

"Garin! Giger is my son! It's none of your business to meddle!"

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and walked forward.

boom!

A sword aura slashed down in front of Gulando, leaving a deep trench in the ground.

Garin, supporting Giger, said without turning his head,

"Don't force me to kill you."

Chapter 114 Defense

With a grim face, Gulando watched Garin and Giger leave until their figures disappeared from sight. He glanced at the ravine slashed by sword energy in front of him and suddenly laughed.

"You've gotten stronger again? If it weren't for this fruit, I really don't know where I would have fallen behind you in the future."

After speaking, he remained silent for a moment, then his body suddenly turned into blood with a whoosh and fell to the ground, slowly flowing into the shadows.

On the other side, Garin escorted Gig back to his palace. In just a short while, Gig had almost recovered, and the flames on the back of his neck burned even more fiercely.

With a thought, the wings transformed into darkness and returned to Giger's body.

Seeing that Giger was alright, Garin spoke up.

"Go back and get some rest. Gulando won't be coming again."

Giger suddenly said,

"Uncle Garin, you need to be careful of Grando. The Blood-Blood Fruit's power is very troublesome. If it weren't for the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to counter its users, Grando's power would have been far greater than what he displayed tonight."

After hearing this, Garin raised an eyebrow and said,

"You think that Grando, as a user of the Blood-Blood Fruit, is stronger than me?"

"No, Gulando's strength is definitely not as good as yours, Uncle Galin, but it's hard to say that his Blood-Blood Fruit has some strange abilities."

Jig was very certain that Garin was stronger than Grando, because he had fought both of them, and judging from the strength of their Conqueror's Haki, Grando was far inferior to Garin.

At least Giggs only sensed a kingly aura from Garin, but he didn't feel that way when facing Grando.

The strength of Conqueror's Haki depends on one's spirit; the stronger the spirit, the stronger the Conqueror's Haki. Furthermore, the strength of Conqueror's Haki will increase over time, and those with stronger spirit will have their Conqueror's Haki grow faster.

Ten years ago, Galin might have only been slightly stronger than Gulando, but now, the gap between their strengths has widened considerably.

However, Grando's Blood-Blood Fruit is a variable, as it has never appeared in the original work. Therefore, Giger felt that both he and Garin should be careful.

Garin nodded. He took Giger's words seriously. The Blood-Blood Fruit and Grando were indeed not to be underestimated, let alone the two of them together.

After exchanging a few words, the uncle and nephew returned to their palace.

Giger stretched his body and then turned to walk into his bedroom. As soon as he entered, Lucia, who had been waiting there, came to greet him.

Upon seeing Lucia, a smile immediately appeared on Gigg's face. He took out the food he had brought back from Garin from the Dark Bible and said,

"Lucia, you haven't eaten yet, have you? These are all made separately, you can just heat them up and eat them."

Lucia had indeed not eaten; she had been waiting for Giger in her palace.

Lucia, however, had no appetite. She nestled gently into Gigg's arms and whispered,

"Young Master, just now, Saint Garin sent people to seal off the family compound. There was a lot of commotion in the central courtyard. I tried to go over, but I was stopped. Can you tell me what happened?"

Giger didn't try to hide anything and told Lucia about his fight with Grando. Lucia listened with a look of indignation and said...

"Has he still not given up on the young master? It's unbelievable that there could be such a beastly father in this world!"

Giger smiled and said,

"Let's not talk about him, let's eat first."

Lucia nodded obediently and called the servants in to reheat the food. After the food was served, Giger rested his chin on his hand and watched Lucia finish eating.

After dinner, Lucia dismissed all the servants and went to the bathroom to prepare water for Gig. Gig first extinguished the flames on the back of his neck, then soaked in the bathtub filled with water and closed his eyes to rest.

The bathroom door quietly opened, and Lucia, wrapped in a white bath towel, tiptoed in. She came to the bathtub, looked at Gigg inside, and a strange purple glint appeared in her eyes.

She raised her hand and hooked the towel, which slipped to the ground, revealing her alluring body.

Giger had already opened his eyes. He quietly gazed at the naked Lucia. A charming smile appeared on Lucia's lips as she lifted her toes and slowly entered the bathtub in front of Giger.

After an unknown amount of time, Giger emerged from the bathroom carrying a dazed Lucia, glancing back at the empty bathtub.

Both of them possessed the ability to control flames. When their emotions reached their peak, two flames, one red and one purple, rose up and evaporated the water in the bathtub.

Lucia lazily raised her hand, hooked her fingers around Gigg's chin, turning his face towards her, and said in a seductive voice,

"Young Master, let's hurry back to our rooms and rest!"

Giger tilted his head and said,

Are you sure you can rest as soon as you go back to your room?

"That depends on what the young master thinks, but you just went through a battle tonight, so... um!"

Before Lucia could finish speaking, Giger kissed her directly. Lucia was only momentarily stunned before quickly responding to Giger.

With Lucia in his arms, Giger vanished from the spot in a flash.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The next morning, Giger and Lucia, dressed neatly, walked out of the palace. A seductive blush still lingered on Lucia's face. She gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and said softly,

"Young Master, don't you really need to go back and get some sleep?"

Giger smiled wryly, and flames suddenly erupted from the back of his neck. He laughed,

"With you here, I don't need to sleep at all."

Lucia's face flushed even more, and she lowered her head shyly, her voice barely audible.

"Young Master, I'm glad you're happy!"

Seeing the adorable Lucia, Giger's anger flared even more intensely. He suppressed the rising heat within him and said...

"Alright, I need to go see Uncle Jialin now and ask him for some more guidance..."

"Bulu Bulu..."

Before Giger could finish speaking, the sound of a Den Den Mushi suddenly rang in his pocket. Giger paused for a moment, then took out a mini Den Den Mushi from his pocket. After answering, Sengoku's voice came through, sounding somewhat urgent.
