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

As the elder brother, Grando was also very talented, but he was weaker than his younger brother Garin. He lost to Garin in every match, and in the end, he missed the position of the leader of the Knights of God.

This became a thorn in Gulando's side forever.

However, his talent seems to lie more in his mind; in scientific research, he is far superior to Garin.

There are too many gifted races in this world, and Grando also set his sights on them. In the end, he chose the Mink Tribe and the Lunaria Tribe.

He wants to inject these two genes into himself through experiments to become stronger!

However, he is quite afraid of death, and he is already an adult with his body fully developed, so even if genetic modification is used, the effect would be limited.

Just when he was feeling somewhat disheartened, his child, Giger, was born.

The Figarando family places great importance on the physical aptitude of their descendants and has specialized equipment to assess it. Gigg's data in all aspects is exceptionally strong, even surpassing that of Garin in his prime.

This delighted Gulando; this cold-blooded fellow had actually set his sights on his own son!

Gigg's body was simply too perfect for Grando, not to mention that he was his bloodline!

There are ways to achieve physical exchange in this world, such as the Op-Op Fruit, and Grando, being a Celestial Dragon, certainly knows this.

Not satisfied with his greed, he wanted to apply his previous ideas and genetic modification experiments to Giger, so that he could obtain a body comparable to that of a god!

So, Grando, in collaboration with Vegapunk, conducted inhumane genetic experiments on young Gigg.

But even with Giger's exceptional physical talent, he was still just a child. The prolonged experiments led to his physical breakdown, and the experiments ultimately failed.

Seeing Giger "dead" on the experimental table, Grando felt no sadness, only madness and tyranny.

"Waste! Waste!!!"

The mentally disturbed Gulando has come to hate Giger, because Giger shattered his dreams.

So he ordered his henchmen to throw Gigg's "corpse" onto the slave ship, which then transported it to the Valley of the Gods...

Chapter 13 Four People

As he recounted this experience, Giger's expression remained completely unchanged.

Ginny and the others were completely stunned. They couldn't imagine that there could be such a father in the world. The phrase "worse than a beast" was an understatement when applied to him.

Giger lowered his eyes, a wisp of black smoke rising from the corner of his eye, clearly indicating that his mood was not as calm as he appeared.

"I will definitely return to Mary Geoise and kill him with my own hands!"

Ginny's heart tightened, and she unconsciously gripped Gigg's hand tighter, asking anxiously,

"Brother Jig, are you abandoning us?"

Ivan blinked frantically, expressing his urgency in this way. Xiong also raised his head and looked at Giger with a nervous expression.

Giger paused for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled softly.

"How could that be? I'm pitifully weak right now, and it's not the right time to go back to Mary Geoise!"

Hearing this, Ginny and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief. As companions who had gone through the escape from God Valley together, their feelings for each other were very deep.

Moreover, Jiren's performance in God Valley had already made him the backbone of the group, especially for Ginny, the only girl among them.

So after confirming that Giggs had no intention of taking back Mary Geoise for the time being, Ginny was probably the happiest one.

She couldn't help but hug Gig, rubbing her face against his and shouting,

"That's wonderful, Brother Jig! We'll stay together forever! We'll never be apart!"

Ivan clenched his bandaged hand with difficulty, about to speak, when Xiong spoke first.

"Brother Jig, you gave me this power. I will definitely train hard and never hold everyone back!"

A bright smile bloomed on Giger's face, but against the backdrop of the darkness surrounding his eyes, his smile carried a hint of wickedness.

"Bear, don't you care that I'm a Celestial Dragon?"

The bear shook its head and said softly,

"No! Jig is still Jig! He's my brother forever!"

Ginny turned her head and asked with a puzzled look,

"Bear cub, why were you looking down just now? It was really worrying!"

"Yes, I'm sorry. Actually, I already knew about Figarand when Garin mentioned it. I heard about this family when I was a slave... but I didn't want to ruin our relationship because of this. I thought that as long as I pretended not to know, we could continue living together. I didn't expect Brother Gigg to bring it up himself..."

As he spoke, Xiong scratched his head, his slightly naive gesture appearing so simple and sincere to Jig.

Gently pushing Ginny away from his arms, Giger glanced around at the three of them; a dark figure loomed behind him.

"Don't just talk about me, you've all been persecuted by the Celestial Dragons too. I'll avenge you all!"

Ginny was, after all, a girl. To her, it was already a blessing that everyone could survive. So, after hearing Giggs' words, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious and uncertain.

"But Brother Giger, are the Celestial Dragons really someone we can fight?"

Giger smiled slightly, raised his right hand which had turned pitch black, and said in a low voice,

"Of course, otherwise wouldn't I be wasting this Dark Fruit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, endless darkness surged from Giger's body, enveloping the entire church like a black curtain, extinguishing all light.

Ginny was terrified by the scene and gripped Giggs' clothes tightly with both hands.

Fortunately, the darkness did not last long. Soon, the darkness faded, and a clean and tidy hall appeared in the sight of Ginny and her companions.

"This, this is?"

Looking at the spotless environment around her, Ginny covered her mouth in surprise, her face full of astonishment.

Kuma, who was also a Devil Fruit user, was even more surprised. He was surprised that Giggs could control the Devil Fruit's power so well!

He had already witnessed the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit; that terrifying dark maw had almost swallowed all three of them whole. Even now, thinking about it made Xiong break out in a cold sweat.

He could sense the ultimate destructive power contained within that darkness, a power capable of turning everything to dust!

The fact that Gigg had released such a massive amount of dark power yet managed to avoid the furnishings in the hall and the three bears, merely absorbing the dust and trash, made Xiong somewhat ashamed of his meticulous control.

If it were him, he might mold a giant ball of flesh to envelop the church before cleaning it.

But putting aside the fact that with his current abilities, creating a fleshy ball large enough to envelop the church is difficult enough, let alone controlling his abilities to deflect the trash inside the church afterwards.

If he were to actually use it, he might just send the entire church flying, which made Xiong respect Gigg even more.

The reason why Giger's control over the Dark-Dark Fruit has improved so much is because he has now completely merged with the original body, and his soul strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.

It was precisely because of this that he, who was already extremely talented, naturally awakened Observation Haki!

Ginny wasn't thinking about the bear as much; the magical sight made her face flush with excitement, and she clapped her hands vigorously.

“Gulp….”

Ivan swallowed hard, a look of envy in his eyes.

Of the two and a half boys present, he was the only one who hadn't obtained a Devil Fruit. So, after witnessing the abilities of Giggs and Kuma, he desperately wanted to get his own Devil Fruit.

However, he felt no jealousy whatsoever. In his opinion, Giggs and Kuma were clearly more suited to those two Devil Fruits than he was.

Giger observed Ivan's behavior and, being adept at reading people, easily discerned Ivan's thoughts. He immediately smiled and spoke up.

"Ivan, don't worry, the right Devil Fruit for you hasn't appeared yet. Trust me, that Devil Fruit is destined to be yours."

Ivan immediately became excited, gesturing wildly. He completely believed Gigg's words and, upon hearing this, immediately asked...

"What's the name of that fruit?"

Giger wagged his finger and said mysteriously,

"I won't tell you that yet. Just know that it will perfectly satisfy your little quirk!"

These words made Ivan even more eager to ask questions, and he kept pestering Gig for answers. But no matter how much he begged and pleaded, Gig wouldn't say a word, which drove Ivan crazy.

Finally, Giger couldn't take Ivan's antics any longer. He flicked his finger, a wisp of black smoke rising from it, towards Ivan's large mouth.

A darkness enveloped Ivan's mouth, the perfect suction forcing him to purse his lips.

"Ugh! I haven't eaten yet!"

Chapter 14 Priest Gig

Six years later, inside the church of the Kingdom of Sorbe,

The bear, whose height has exceeded five meters, sat in the center of the church like a small mountain, with old men and women lining up in front of him to have their wounds healed.

With the power of the Paw-Paw Fruit, Kuma has become a renowned priest in the Kingdom of Solbek, deeply loved by the elderly who cannot afford medical treatment.

On a church pew, a young couple sat. The man had his head down, intently flipping through a black-covered Bible, while the woman rested her chin on her hand, watching the man reading.

The two are Giger and Ginny six years later.

Now, Ginny has grown into a beautiful young woman. She has short pink hair, wears a white tank top and dark denim shorts, a simple outfit that looks youthful and radiant on her.

At that moment, she blinked her large, pale purple eyes and pouted as she spoke.

"Brother Giger, is this book so captivating that you don't even glance at me? Am I not good-looking enough?"

Giger looked away, reached out and gently ruffled Ginny's hair, and said,
