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

A smile played on Giger's lips as he spoke softly.

"Sakazuki, you've finally arrived."

Suddenly, a thick pillar of magma erupted from the ground behind Giger, and Akainu slowly emerged from it, standing to Giger's right.

Lava continued to drip from Akainu's body as he spoke in a deep voice.

"You're too fast."

hum!

An extremely domineering aura erupted from the sea of ​​fire, dispersing the flames, and Roger's figure emerged from it. He brushed the ashes off his body and said,

"Another Logia-type Devil Fruit user? This is a bit troublesome."

Jiger smiled and said,

"Is it just a little troublesome?"

A series of rapid footsteps approached, and Roger and the others looked closely to see a large group of marines rushing towards them.

The leader was a familiar face to them as well: Admiral Zephyr.

Most of the naval personnel in this naval formation were from the same cohort as Giger and his classmates. Three years later, they have grown into naval officers capable of handling matters independently.

Of the Supernovas, only Kizaru and Kuma didn't come; they're still with Vegapunk.

Lucia and Ginny slipped out of the group and stood behind Giger.

Gion, who hadn't seen Gig for three years, stood among the group of marines, silently watching Gig's back. Standing next to her was a bloated man with a somewhat slovenly appearance.

He gazed tenderly at Gion's profile and said softly,

"Gion, after this war is over, will you accept my confession?"

Gion didn't even look at him, and said somewhat impatiently,

"Jiaji, don't think about such things at a time like this. Besides, I've said it more than once: it's impossible between us!"

Jiaji immediately looked dejected; this was his thirty-third failed attempt to confess his feelings.

Gion pursed her lips slightly, then stepped forward. She slowly approached Giger from behind, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered,

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

Giger's attention was entirely focused on Roger, Whitebeard, and the others opposite him, so he simply replied with a faint "Hmm".

After Whitebeard saw Zephyr, he had already joined forces with Roger's group with his sons, forming a temporary alliance to confront the Navy.

Chapter 166 When the war is going on

Roger tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife, and red arcs of electricity crackled.

"Navy, are you planning to start a war?"

Darkness surged across Giger's body. He chuckled softly and said...

"It was just a bandit suppression operation, how can you call it a war?"

Whitebeard snorted coldly.

“Dark brat, I don’t care about anyone else today, you have to leave your life here.”

Giger tilted his head and laughed.

"Then let's try it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Giggs and Whitebeard simultaneously unleashed their Conqueror's Haki. In the clash of their Conqueror's Haki, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and countless cracks spread across the ground.

Whether it was the Navy or the pirates, some of the weaker members were knocked unconscious by the two men's Conqueror's Haki.

Seeing this, Roger also released his Conqueror's Haki. With Roger's addition, Gigg was at a disadvantage, because among the Marines who came today, he was the only one with Conqueror's Haki.

However, in the eyes of the Marines behind Giger, although Giger showed signs of being suppressed in the confrontation of Conqueror's Haki, there were two opponents, and they were the combination of Whitebeard and Roger!

They felt nothing but awe for Gige!

Many of the naval officers who came had fought against the Roger Pirates or the Whitebeard Pirates, and had naturally been taught a lesson by the Conqueror's Haki of the opposing captains.

Those Marines who once served under Garp still remember how frustrated they were when they encountered Roger. Garp himself didn't care, but they couldn't!

No matter how strong Garp is, he cannot help his subordinates withstand Roger's Conqueror's Haki attack, because he does not have Conqueror's Haki, and that's all.

Zefa looked at Giger beside him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

In less than three years, his student had become truly capable of standing on his own.

Within Roger's pirate crew, Rayleigh and Bullet were eager to join the fray, having both awakened Conqueror's Haki and wishing to participate in this battle of Conqueror's Haki.

Giger naturally wouldn't give them that chance. The flames behind his neck went out, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, charging directly into the enemy formation.

In terms of speed, Gigg had already surpassed the Red Earl of yesteryear, so the pirates didn't even have time to react. A streak of blood flashed by, and several heads flew into the sky.

Seeing this, Bucky frowned and retreated behind Shanks.

Shanks' forehead was covered in cold sweat, because a Whitebeard Pirates member who had been standing next to him just moments before was now a headless corpse, his head nowhere to be seen.

Gigg's slaughter continued. He flapped his black bat wings and weaved through the pirates, killing them without them even letting out a scream.

Whitebeard, his eyes blazing with fury, roared as he charged toward Giggs.

Gigg was choking a blond, muscular man by the neck. This man was King Gintoki, the 11th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Sensing Whitebeard's attack from behind, Giger flashed a red light in his hand, instantly draining Kingdo of his life force and then tossing him aside.

At that very moment, Whitebeard appeared behind Giger, raised the Murakumogiri, and slashed down at Giger's head.

Without turning his head, Giger simply blurred to avoid the attack. Whitebeard's slash left a deep, bottomless crack in the ground, but didn't even scratch Giger's clothes.

Taking advantage of this moment, the surrounding pirates surged forward and surrounded Gigg in the very center.

However, the Navy wasn't going to be outdone. Gigg's speed was just too fast; not only the pirates, but even they didn't have time to react.

Seeing that Gigg was "surrounded", Lucia and Ginny rushed up, but the two girls were still not as fast as Akainu.

Akainu transformed his lower body into elemental form and used the explosive force of the magma to propel himself out, crashing into the pirates like a meteor.

Immediately afterwards, thick pillars of magma erupted from the crowd, accompanied by various heart-wrenching screams.

The battle erupted in full force, with the Navy and the pirates locked in a fierce struggle. Roger wanted to help Whitebeard, but was stopped by Zephyr and was temporarily unable to escape.

Akainu wreaked havoc on the battlefield with the terrifying destructive power of his Logia-type Magma-Magma Fruit, and his conspicuous appearance quickly made him a target.

Rayleigh killed an unknown major admiral with a single strike, then flashed to Akainu's side and unleashed a powerful sword strike.

Akainu was already in a killing frenzy. He unleashed several magma punches to disperse the sword energy, then transformed his arms into elemental forms and charged towards Rayleigh.

Fire Mountain and the others surrounded Barrett and dealt with this guy known as the "Demon's Descendant".

Lucia faced off against Marco. Both were Mythical Zoan users and possessed the ability to fly, making them evenly matched in strength. They fought fiercely in the air, their battle proving to be a close contest.

Gion, Ginny, Kakei, and other commanders of the main force were dealing with the remaining sons of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, this time the Navy and the pirates still had a gap in high-end combat power, and the Navy was clearly at a disadvantage.

For example, Roger's crew also had a group of elites led by Jabba, and the Navy admirals below the rank of vice admiral were no match for them.

The most troublesome thing is that there are also gaps between the top combatants, and Zephyr is obviously weaker than Roger.

Akainu also suffered from his youth, finding it very difficult to deal with Rayleigh, who was in his prime.

As for Barrett, his strength is only slightly inferior to Rayleigh's. Momonga and the others can only temporarily hold him off by relying on their numerical advantage. Without the addition of admiral-level naval forces, their only role is to delay Barrett, and they risk being wiped out if they are not careful.

Fortunately, there was the special case of Giger. In the intervals between his battles with Whitebeard, he could use Kamui and his speed advantage to occasionally go and support the others. For a time, Whitebeard had no way to deal with Giger.

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit proved to be of limited use in his battle against Giggs. Whenever he tried to unleash a powerful attack to clear the field, Giggs would entangle him and eventually dissipate his power...

He could only watch helplessly as his beloved sons were swallowed by darkness, a feeling that was worse than death for him.

In this situation, something even more upsetting happened.

Oden, who had been offline for a long time, suddenly jumped off the Moby Dick.

His Enma was taken by Gigg, so he had to return to the Moby Dick and have Kozuki Toki retrieve Ame no Habakiri for him.

Kozuki Toki, holding Momonosuke, leaned over the side of the ship, cheering Oden loudly. This made Oden feel like he could do it again, and he shouted,

"Baiji, I'm here to help you!"

Chapter 167 Momonosuke, die!

Upon seeing Oden, Whitebeard's face showed no joy, but rather a look of fear as he cried out.

"Don't come any closer, Oden!"

Whitebeard already had a general understanding of Gigg's strength, and because of this, he knew that Oden was no match for Gigg.

Furthermore, Giger is known for his speed, so Oden's arrival would only cause more trouble.

Despite Whitebeard's warning, Oden showed no sign of stopping. In his view, he had only lost his sword to Giggs because of a moment of carelessness, and he did not believe that Giggs had surpassed him in just three years.

On the Moby Dick, Momonosuke cupped his hands to his mouth and excitedly shouted at Oden.

"Come on daddy!"
