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

"No, this is an internal matter of the Figarando family. No one should interfere!"

Then, Garin turned around and gave the order.

"Evacuate the crowd immediately! It's dangerous here!"

The Knights of God dispersed in response, regardless of whether the Celestial Dragons wanted to or not. Those who wanted to leave left on their own, while those who didn't were simply picked up and taken away.

Every Celestial Dragon family will produce one or two elite members who join the Knights of God, so some of the Celestial Dragons who were carried away were actually members of the same family who carried them away.

However, the members didn't care about any of that. From the day they joined the Knights of God, the honor of the Knights of God had already surpassed that of their families in their hearts.

This is also what Vochuli fears most, because the leader of the Knights of God has always been a member of the Figarando family. There's no way around it; although the family isn't very large, the quality of its members is truly exceptional.

Among their generation, the talent of the heirs of the Felando family is always exceptionally outstanding among the elites of Tianlong.

Over time, the honor of the Knights of God has become tied to the Figarando family, which means that the true allegiance of these members is to the Figarando family!

Both Satan and Vochuli saw this, but they chose different approaches: one chose to befriend them, while the other chose to suppress them.

The three Five Elders, led by Nasujiro, chose to remain neutral.

Chapter 151 Domineering Entanglement and Nation-Suppressing

Soon, only Garin and the Five Elders remained around.

At that moment, the earth began to tremble and rumble, and then two beams of light, one black and one red, shot out from the ruins.

After the pillar of light dissipated, Giger and Gulando stood facing each other. Apart from their clothes being slightly disheveled, their breathing remained very steady.

After Giger's bloodline factor awakens, there's no need to worry about his endurance. Grando, on the other hand, can continuously provide him with energy thanks to the vast blood bank stored within his body.

What puzzled Giger was that despite absorbing so much blood, Gulando's strength hadn't increased much compared to last time.

Gulando glanced at Garin and the Five Elders not far away and smiled.

"Everyone's here. I'm so sorry, my son and I went a bit too far just now."

"His performance showed absolutely no sign of losing control," Satan stepped forward and said.

"Gulando Saint, you should come with me to Vegapunk for a checkup first!"

Gulando laughed heartily and said,

"Satan Saint, I think you're getting senile! I feel great, what's there to check? You just want to detain me, don't you?"

Satan had never been called senile to his face like this before. Anger flashed across his face, but Gulando ignored him and turned his gaze back to Gig, saying with a half-smile,

"My good boy, did you enjoy sucking it down there just now?"

Giger's hands were flashing with a scarlet light. He had indeed absorbed a large amount of blood from Gulando, which had increased his lifespan by nearly a hundred years.

However, although all of this blood was drawn from Gulando, not a single drop was Gulando's own, and Gulando's body likely had an unknown amount of such blood stored within him.

Incidentally, the effects of the Vampire Fruit's blood-drinking ability are different from those of the Blood-Blood Fruit. The Vampire Fruit only allows one to gain lifespan and heal injuries by drinking blood; it does not increase strength, nor is it affected by any negative emotions.

Therefore, Giger could recklessly drain Gulando, this human blood bank. He estimated that if he really drained Gulando dry, he could live for tens of thousands of years without any problem.

However, Giger didn't care about that; all he wanted to do now was kill Grando.

Simply using the Dark-Dark Fruit to eliminate Grando's fruit ability is not enough, because the blood absorbed by the Blood-Blood Fruit has already seeped into his body, and resurrection by dripping blood can be said to be his passive skill.

So when Gurando said he was invincible, he wasn't exaggerating at all.

Giger narrowed his eyes, flicked his finger, and four dark tentacles shot out from under Gulando's feet, pulling him into the darkness.

With a flick of his right hand, a long, crescent-shaped blade wriggled out from his palm, instantly severing the tentacles. Then, he leaped into the air, unleashing a dark red sea of ​​blood that crashed down on Giger.

With a single slash, Giger cleaved the sea of ​​blood. Gulando thrust his sword at him, but Giger dodged it with his divine power. Taking advantage of Gulando's missed attack, Giger regained his physical form, and the demon sword Muramasa in his hand emitted a strong black aura. He then swung his sword back at the back of Gulando's neck.

when!

A sound like metal clashing rang out, and a layer of blood scabs covered with Armament Haki appeared on the back of Grando's neck, managing to block Muramasa's slash.

The two then engaged in a sword duel. Amidst the flashing blades, their figures moved swiftly, and black and red sword energy burst forth. The Five Elders watching the battle had no choice but to use their own methods to defend themselves.

Garin casually slashed away the incoming sword energy with his slash, his gaze remaining fixed on the two figures fighting in the arena.

In the end, Giger suffered from his inability to entangle effectively and was forced back by Gulando's single move, Zhenguo.

Jig planted the Muramasa into the ground, spread his wings to their maximum extent, and after stabilizing himself, he slowly got up and looked thoughtfully at the Muramasa in his hand.

Swish!

Gulando landed not far from Jig, the knife in his hand still crackling with red arcs of electricity.

He raised his knife, pointed it at Giger, and laughed.

"Child, in terms of swordsmanship within our family, you are still too... Nani?"

The smile on Gulando's face suddenly froze, because he saw that the Muramasa sword was slowly being covered by a flowing red energy, and red arcs of electricity were also emerging from it.

The Five Elders were all amazed by this scene.

"Is that the Hegemony Color Entanglement?"

"Unbelievable! Judging from the way it looks, this must be the first time Jigsang has used it. He actually mastered it during the battle!"

"As expected of someone from the Figarando family, their talent is truly enviable!"

Of the Five Elders, only Satan and Vocholi remained silent. Satan appeared to be the most composed, as he had participated in the talent test at Gigg's birth and knew that Gigg was the most talented heir in the history of the Figarando family.

Although he mastered the Overlord's Binding technique earlier than he had expected, it was still within an acceptable range.

As for Volchuli, his face had turned a deep purplish-red, and he cried out inwardly.

"Damn it! This isn't fair! Why is the heavens so kind to the Figarando family?!"

Even he, one of the Five Elders, started complaining about the unfairness, which shows just how angry he was.

Upon hearing the voices of the Five Elders behind him, Garin's lips curled up, and the smile that Grando had just given him was now on his face.

Under everyone's gaze, the Conqueror's Haki lightning on the Muramasa crackled and popped. Giger slid his hand across the blade and finally pressed it against the tip of the blade.

(Refer to the Ghost Flash pose)

With his other arm bent, he placed Muramasa flat against his chest. Jig looked at Grando in front of him. The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot. Grando, however, suddenly widened his eyes. His body was already crossed by two black and red sword energies.

With his back to Gulando, Giger spoke calmly.

"Thanks to you this time, I have finally mastered the art of protecting the nation. You shall be the one to test this first strike."

Gulando tried to turn around, but his body was firmly locked by two sword energies, and the violent Conqueror's Haki was constantly tearing at his body.

Even so, a strange smile still lingered on Gulando's lips. He looked down at his crumbling body and said,

"it's time......"

The next second, Gulando's body shattered completely. This time, Giger seized the opportunity and immediately used the Myriad Manifestations Pull to try to absorb all the scattered blood into his body.

However, at that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

The ground beneath Giger's feet trembled violently, then gradually softened, revealing wriggling "vessels" emerging from it.

The earth was instantly stained blood red, and then a terrifying scene unfolded: one after another, Gulandos emerged from the sea of ​​blood, surrounding Gig in the center.

Chapter 152 Hard Fight

A sea of ​​blood surged, and a throne forged from blood rose from the ground. Gulando rested his chin on one hand, looking down at Gigg with a wicked smile.

He snapped his fingers, and all the Gulandos attacked simultaneously, surging towards Gigg in the center.

Jig remained calm as he wielded Muramasa, creating an impenetrable net of swords around himself that annihilated the attacking clones of Gulando.

These clones are only about half the strength of the original body. If Giger goes all out, he can kill them with a single blow.

However, the sheer number of clones was overwhelming. What was most disgusting was that even if these clones were scattered into blood, they could quickly reassemble, making them virtually impossible to kill.

Giger cleared a space around him with a quick Shinra Tensei, and before the next wave of attacks arrived, he knelt down on one knee and plunged the demon sword Muramasa into the ground.

Then, centered on Gigg's body, endless darkness spread out, absorbing and crushing a large number of clones. The clones destroyed in the darkness had no chance to reunite.

After this move, only ten clones remained on the field. Unlike the other clones that were swallowed by darkness, these ten clones broke free from the gravity of darkness in the end and each merged their lower bodies into the blood throne.

Gulando, seated on his throne, clapped his hands and laughed.

"The Dark-Dark Fruit truly lives up to its name; it's a pity you still haven't been able to awaken it."

Gulando obtained the Blood-Blood Fruit later than Gigg, but he has already developed it to the point of awakening.

However, this is not because Giger lacks talent in developing Devil Fruits. First of all, awakening Logia-type Devil Fruits is much more difficult than the other two types.

Furthermore, the Blood-Blood Fruit is arguably the easiest Devil Fruit to awaken, because as long as the user fully unleashes their blood-drinking abilities, they can awaken their powers once they have accumulated enough blood.

However, every gain has its loss; the price of doing so is to hasten the demise of the ability user.

Black energy emanated from Giger's body. He gripped Muramasa tightly and unleashed a black sword strike towards the throne beneath Grando.

The ten clones that were attached to the Blood Throne separated instantly, with three of them meeting the incoming sword energy head-on and blasting it away.

The remaining clones are significantly stronger than the previous ones; just now, Giger's sword strike could have easily cut down a whole group of them.

Surrounded by these ten clones, Gigg found it much harder to deal with them than before, as his previous area-of-effect attacks were no longer effective.

Giger fought and retreated, releasing the demon sword Muramasa and fighting his ten clones one by one.
