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

Therefore, the moment Giger entered the dark space, he completely let down his guard, relaxed his body, and allowed Gulando to take over his body.

In any case, what Gulando will face next is endless loneliness.

Gulando thought that Gigg had resigned himself to his fate, and was overjoyed. He increased the output of his power, and Gigg's whole body instantly turned blood red, and his consciousness was rapidly dissipating.

In a daze, Giger murmured,

"Is this really the end..."

Suddenly, an old voice rang out.

"Kid, are you giving up already?"

Upon hearing this voice, both Giger and Grando were stunned. The surrounding darkness began to swirl around Giger like a vortex, and then, the demon sword Muramasa flew out from the back of Giger's hand and hovered in front of him.

A phantom light slowly emerged from the center of the village. Upon seeing this figure, both Jig and Gulando were shaken to their core, with Jig's face showing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Indeed, it was a ghostly sight, as every member of the Figarando family was familiar with the face of this phantom.

At this moment, Giger and Gulando were unusually in agreement, and they exclaimed in surprise,

"The ancestor Saint Casillas!?"

Casillas ignored him, raised his hand, and retrieved the Muramasa demon sword, sighing in admiration.

"Muramasa, it seems you really like your new master..."

Muramasa's blade swayed slightly, as if in response to Casillas's words.

Upon hearing this, Gulando felt a sudden unease. Casillas glanced at him indifferently, then released Muramasa and transformed into a white light, entering Giger's body.

The next second, Gigg's body instantly turned black, completely merging with the entire dark space. Casillas's majestic voice rang out.

"King's Command: Dark Baptism!"

The dark space jolted violently, then returned to calm, and Gigg's body reappeared.

Two blood-red tear streaks appeared on his face, and his right sleeve had disappeared, revealing a scarlet arm.

Casillas's phantom detached from Giger's body and floated in front of Giger.

However, the white light emanating from him had become incredibly dim compared to before, as if it were about to dissipate at any moment.

Giger's empty eyes gradually focused, and the demon sword Muramasa emitted a sword cry, flying back into Giger's hand in a flash.

Seeing this, Casillas smiled helplessly and said with a hint of jealousy,

"Muramasa, you really don't respect me, your former owner, at all!"

This time, Muramasa remained silent. Giger first gently stroked the blade of the sword, then bowed deeply to Casillas and said...

"Thank you for saving me, ancestor!"

Just after Casillas entered his body, he immediately regained control from Grando, and then he felt an indescribable, terrifying dark power surge into his body.

However, even with such vast dark power, he manipulated it with ease, completely devouring Grando's consciousness and leaving only the blood spring that Grando had condensed through his abilities.

Casillas waved his hand and said,

"No need to thank me. It was Muramasa who saved you. It was Muramasa who awakened the last bit of will I had left."

At this point, he glanced at Giger's face and said,

"Being the master of the Muramasa demon sword means you are also a member of my Figarando family. What is your name?"

Giger said respectfully,

"Fegalando Giger."

"Hmm, it's not easy to gain the Dark Fruit's approval. You're quite good. By the way, who was that guy inside you just now?"

"His name is Figarando Grando."

"Nani!?"

Casillas stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment.

His will was suddenly awakened. He knew nothing of what had happened before, only that Gigg was his descendant. So he killed Gulando without asking any questions, figuring that anyone who wanted to harm his descendant must be an enemy.

Upon hearing the surname "Gulando," Casillas was dumbfounded and frowned, asking...

"What on earth is going on? Has the Figarando family really come to the point of killing each other?"

Giggs then briefly explained the situation to Casillas, who, after listening, raised an eyebrow and said...

"Why are they so fixated on this damn Blood-Blood Fruit? Why don't they focus their energy on the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

"Well, ancestor, it has been over eight hundred years since you died, and during that time, no one in our Figarando family has obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit. I only obtained it by chance."

"..."

Casillas was speechless for a moment. After a while, he reached out a hand so faint it was almost transparent and patted Gigg on the shoulder, saying,

"No wonder Muramasa was in such a hurry to wake me up. It seems that it wasn't easy for it to find you as its new master. As for that Gulando, let him be dead. Muramasa will never acknowledge him anyway."

Giger blinked, unsure how to respond for a moment.

Chapter 156 My charming ancestor

Even though Giggs and Gulando are his descendants, they are several generations apart, so Casillas doesn't have much affection for them anymore.

He glanced down at his dissipating body and said,

"Alright, I don't have much time left, I still need to get you out of here."

Upon hearing this, Giger breathed a sigh of relief and was about to express his gratitude again when a sudden throbbing pain shot through his scarlet right arm. He quickly pinched his right arm with his other hand, but the pain did not lessen.

At this moment, Muramasa, who was being held by Giger, trembled slightly and turned into a black light, returning to the back of Giger's right hand.

As Muramasa integrated into the group, Giger felt a lightness in his right arm, and the pain disappeared.

Seeing this, Casillas spoke up,

"The power that Grando absorbed has been purified by my dark power, and it still contains the original power of the Blood-Blood Fruit..."

As he spoke, Casillas glanced at the enormous bat wings behind Gigg and said,

"Just now I sensed another Devil Fruit power within you; judging by the appearance, it should be the Vampire Fruit."

Giger nodded, and Casillas continued,

"Although I don't know how you managed to contain so many Devil Fruits, this is just right. My power is almost gone, and I can't help you digest all this power. You happen to have the Vampire Fruit, and with the Muramasa sword helping you suppress it, it won't be too difficult for you to digest it on your own. Moreover, the power of the Blood-Blood Fruit will stimulate the awakening of your Vampire Fruit. You've turned misfortune into blessing this time."

As Giggs gazed at Casillas's gradually fading body, a look of sadness appeared in his eyes.

Casillas smiled slightly and said,

"There's no need to make that face. I'm already dead. I have no regrets today that the Figarando family has produced such an outstanding descendant as you."

As he spoke, Casillas waved his hand, and an exit leading to the outside world appeared in the vast darkness, revealing the place where he had just fought with Grando.

Casillas's voice grew softer and softer.

"Go back quickly, the Figarando family still depends on you to continue..."

Giggs bowed deeply to Casillas once more, then flew towards the exit.

After Gigg's figure disappeared from the darkness, Casillas's phantom began to dissipate into specks of light. In his final moments before vanishing, Casillas murmured...

"I hope this kid can take the step I couldn't take back then, Joey Boy, where is your successor...?"

The first king of the Figarando family thus vanished into thin air.

......

Outside, Garin remained silently waiting in the same spot, while Satan, having returned to his original form, stood silently beside Garin.

Not far away stood the other four Elders. Vochuli could no longer hide his smile; he was now eager to go back and pop some champagne.

Then a dark vortex appeared out of nowhere, and then Giggs emerged from it, crashing headfirst into Garin's arms.

Caught off guard, Garin was sent flying by Giger's ramming, eventually crashing into a bewildered Vochuli.

Volcholi's round body thus served as a cushion for the uncle and nephew.

However, neither Galin nor Vochuli had any time to pay attention to such things; everyone's eyes were focused on Gigg, who was nestled in Galin's arms.

Garin sat on Vochuli's stomach, grabbed Gigg's shoulder, and made him face him.

From Garin's perspective, Giger has most likely been possessed by Grando, but he still harbors a sliver of hope.

At this moment, he stared nervously at Giger's familiar face, and asked in a trembling voice,

"Gig? Is that you?"

Giger's lips gradually curved upwards, and he said softly,

"Uncle Garin, who else could it be but me?"

As he spoke, Giger summoned the Dark Bible and took out a bright red, rugby ball-shaped fruit from it. Upon seeing it, Garin's face lit up with ecstasy.

Because what Giggs holds is the Blood-Blood Fruit! This means that Grando is truly dead!

Volchuli, who was sitting beneath Garin, wore a grimace and roared.

"Garin-sei! Get off me right now!"
