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

"Ivan, it's been a long time."

Ivan was still in a daze when he heard that familiar voice. He shuddered, his lips moved, and he murmured,

"Brother Jig..."

Before Giger could respond, Ivan suddenly broke down in tears. He shouted and rushed towards Giger with open arms, hugging him tightly.

"Brother Giger! I'm so glad to see you again! How are Big Bear, Ginny, and the others?"

Ivan was nearly 4.5 meters tall. After being hugged by him, Gigg's face was pressed directly against Ivan's chest, and he murmured,

"They're all fine, Ivan. Let go of me first, it's not convenient to talk like this..."

Upon hearing this, Ivan quickly released Jig. Jig straightened his collar slightly, glanced around at the people around him, and smiled.

“Ivan, it seems you’ve found many like-minded partners. I’m happy for you.”

Ivan responded with his hands on his hips and a grin.

"Yes! Aren't they adorable?"

Giger's face stiffened. Not wanting to upset Ivan, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say...

"Yes, just as cute as you!"

Upon receiving Giger's praise, Ivan happily spun around again, while her companions surrounded her, each cupping their faces and gazing at Giger with sparkling eyes.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Giger's forehead. He composed himself, forced a smile, and greeted them.

"Hello."

“Wow!!!”

The group cheered in unison, and then a man in a blue pleated skirt with a full beard stepped forward, gave Gigg a very "ladylike" bow, and began to speak.

"Lord Giger, it's an honor to meet you. My name is Karen."

Giger immediately recalled information about Karen. In the original story, when Sanji was sent flying to the island of Kamabakkah, it was he who led the way in serving Sanji until he was in ecstasy, almost turning Sanji gay.

However, the appearance of this person also means that Ivan has already been to the island of transvestites, which is the Kamabakka Kingdom, bringing this milestone forward.

After responding politely, Giger turned his gaze to Inazuma, who was standing elegantly to the side, holding a glass of red wine. Inazuma was Ivan's most capable subordinate in the original story, nicknamed Lightning.

Noticing Giger's gaze, Inazuma bowed slightly, her attitude extremely respectful.

Just then, the man bound hand and foot on the ground slowly woke up. In his hazy state, he saw the navy coat fluttering on Giger's body. Then, his eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted with surprise,

"You, you're Admiral Black Dragon! Thank goodness! Save me! I'm King Gipps of Kamabakka Kingdom! I've been kidnapped by these freaks!"

Giger glanced at him indifferently, then asked Ivan,

"Ivan, what's going on with this guy?"

Ivan seemed a little nervous, as if he had done something wrong, and he told Giger the whole story in a muffled voice.

Six months ago, Ivan brought Inazuma to the Kingdom of Kamabakka, where a plague was raging and many people had died.

King Gippus not only failed to take any preventative measures, but continued to levy exorbitant taxes and indulge in lavish feasts in the palace, completely disregarding the lives of the people.

After learning about the situation, Ivan immediately used his Hormone Fruit powers to help treat the people infected with the plague.

In reality, this plague wasn't that severe; many people died because they couldn't afford treatment. Therefore, Ivan's success rate in saving lives was far lower than the low one percent described later in Impel Down.

In the original work, he did indeed have the deed of saving a country.

Under his care, the people gradually recovered their health, and in the process, they were captivated by his unique "charm" and spontaneously revered him as their king.

Thus, a group calling themselves "new humans" was born.

King Gipps could no longer sit still and immediately sent troops to suppress the rebellion. However, he had already lost the support of the people, and most of the soldiers he sent out sided with Ivan. The rest were dealt with by Ivan and eventually joined the new humans.

Not long after, Ivan led his men into the palace, captured Gipps, and she was officially elected as the new queen of the Kamabakka Kingdom.

However, Ivan had little interest in being king; he still longed for the freedom of the sea, but he couldn't bear to abandon his beloved subordinates.

Finally, at Inazuma's suggestion, Ivan took on the title of king, selected some "talented" subordinates, and set sail again.

Chapter 127 Reunion

After finishing his story, Ivan looked somewhat nervously at Giger, whose face was shrouded in shadow. In the sunlight, a golden glint flashed across the black epaulets on his navy cloak.

Ivan knew that what he had done was seen by the world as usurpation of power, a heinous crime.

Now, Giger is a naval admiral, and having committed the crime of usurping the throne, he is naturally Giger's target for capture.

Even knowing this, he still told the truth because he didn't want to lie to his only older brother.

The surrounding New Humans also realized this, and they all swallowed hard and quieted down their earlier commotion.

The originally cheerful atmosphere gradually turned oppressive.

Only Gipps looked smug; he struggled to sit up straight and burst into arrogant laughter.

"Hahaha! I'm so lucky! I actually ran into a Marine Admiral, you're all doomed..."

Bang! Click!

The people on the ship were suddenly startled. When they came to their senses, they saw Gips' head embedded in the deck, with Gigg's foot pressing on his sunken face, blood mixed with brain matter spilling out.

Giger looked down at the lifeless Gipsy and said calmly, without any expression on his face.

"It's so noisy."

The next second, the ground beneath Gigg's feet was instantly covered by a layer of darkness. When the darkness faded, Gigg's filthy shoe became smooth and new. Along with the filth, Gipsy's corpse was also cleaned up.

This scene deeply affected all the new humans present. Ivan hesitated for a moment before speaking to Giger.

"Brother Ji, Brother Jige..."

Giger turned his head and said helplessly,

"Ivan, can you please not stutter when you call my name?"

"Um, Brother Jig, what did you do to him...?"

At this point, Ivan suddenly paused, then changed his words,

"I'm so sorry, Brother Gigg! I shouldn't have killed Gipsy in front of you!"

Giger tilted his head and said irritably,

"What nonsense are you spouting? I killed the person, what business is it of yours?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Lucia and asked,

"Lucia, did you see everything just now?"

Lucia smiled gently and said softly,

"I saw it. Gipps disturbed the young master and deserved to die. He has been executed on the spot by the young master."

These words left everyone present stunned. Ivan wanted to say something more, but Giger stopped him by raising his hand and saying,

"Alright, it's fine to kill an incompetent king, no need to be so nervous."

"..."

Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, Giger stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then spoke to Ivan,

"Ivan, you will be the King of Kamabakka from now on. The World Government will issue the relevant documents soon, so remember to receive them."

"..."

Gigg completed the formal change of king with ease. In fact, given his status, replacing the king of a small country like Kamalpakka was indeed just a matter of a word.

As long as he makes the announcement, someone will take care of it for him.

"That's settled," Giger patted Ivan on the shoulder and said.

"Let's go, don't just stand there."

"Huh? Where are you going, Brother Giger?"

"Of course you'll come with me to headquarters, but I can only take you. Your subordinates' style is a bit... well, not quite right for headquarters. Some people might not be able to accept it."

Ivan knew this too; the concept of the New Humans was too advanced, and it was perfectly normal that an official law enforcement agency like the Navy Headquarters, known for its seriousness, couldn't accept it.

He was deeply moved because Giger had shown sufficient respect to the New Humans from beginning to end, and the New Humans around him had all felt this.

From now on, Giger is the eldest brother to all of them.

After giving Inazuma a few instructions, Ivan followed Gig onto the approaching warship and headed to Marineford, the naval headquarters.

Midway through, Ivan voluntarily transformed herself into a woman, which was also her most normal state.

After the warship docked, Giger spoke to Ivan, who had transformed into a woman.

"Ivan, I have to go to Marshal Kong's place first. Wait for me here at the port. I'll be right back."

Although it was Ivan's first time at the Marine Headquarters, the easygoing man wasn't nervous at all. He was overjoyed at the thought of reuniting with his former comrades.

She winked at Giger and said,

"Okay, Brother Jig, I'll be waiting for you~"

Giger shuddered, turned around and wiped the cold sweat from his brow, then led Lucia and his men toward Marineford.
