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

Faced with the furious Jebt, Raki was so frightened that his legs went weak and his body trembled uncontrollably, like a broken sieve about to fall apart.

Jebt lifted Raki with one hand and slowly lifted him off the ground. As they rose higher, Raki grew increasingly fearful. He knew Jebt's personality; when he got angry, he was like a wild beast and could throw him into the sea at any moment.

He was about to tell Jebt what he had seen earlier.

However, just then, as his view opened up, Raki suddenly noticed the scene behind Jebt.

Besides the wrecked shipwrecks floating everywhere on the sea, he also saw the culprit that had capsized the ship—a speedboat!

The speedboat was quietly moored not far from the debris, as if mocking their fate.

At this moment, from Raki's perspective, the man on the speedboat had stood up; he was a handsome young man.

Raki quickly pointed ahead and shouted,

"Captain Jebt! It's him! He's the one who rammed our ship!"

"Nani?"

Jebt suddenly turned his head and glared fiercely at the young man on the speedboat. For some reason, he felt that the young man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

However, this thought only lasted for less than a second in his mind; all he could think about now was his sunken ship.

He laughed in anger and said...

"Alright, alright, he looks pretty handsome. He and that speedboat should fetch a good price! Get him here! Bring that kid back!"

Upon hearing the order, his men immediately swam towards the young man on the other side.

......

Giger, hands in his pockets, looked at the shipwrecks floating not far away and muttered to himself.

"She only slept for a short while, how could she have gotten into a shipwreck?"

He noticed that many people were struggling to swim towards him through the broken planks and ship parts.

Without a doubt, this must be the unlucky guy who wrecked his own boat.

If the ship were a legitimate vessel, Giger would naturally take these people to a safe place and compensate them with a large sum of money.

But with his excellent hearing, he had just heard what Jebt said, which sounded like he was going to sell him and his boat.

Doesn't this mean that these people are actually a group of slave traders?

That would make things much easier.

Seeing how hard those people were swimming, Giger simply raised his hand and released the Myriad Manifestations Pull, instantly pulling them all over.

Before the unfortunate henchmen could even figure out what was happening, their bodies were pulled by gravity and slammed heavily into the sturdy speedboat beneath Giger's feet, instantly turning into a pile of mud.

Seeing this, Jebt's expression immediately turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice,

"He's actually a Devil Fruit user, and it seems to be a very powerful one..."

Raki leaned closer and said obsequiously,

"Captain Jebt, even the strongest ability user is afraid of the sea. As long as we get him into the sea, he'll be at our mercy. Besides, ability users are very expensive!"

Upon hearing this, Jebt nodded, a smile appearing on his face, and said...

"That's true, I..."

Before they could finish speaking, another powerful gravitational pull came, dragging them and their small boat toward Giger.

This time, Giger didn't let the group crash directly into his speedboat. Instead, just as the boats were about to come close, he used gravity to bring them to a sudden stop, making them come to a steady halt around him.

Apart from the stronger Jebit, everyone else fell into the sea due to inertia, including the powerful Raki.

Jebt's face was full of shock; he hadn't expected Gigg's abilities to be so wide-ranging and his strength so great.

But when he saw Giger's face clearly, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Tiger, who was lying at his feet, slowly woke up at this moment, raised his head slightly, and the first thing he saw was Giger.

Still somewhat dazed, he mistook this for another unfortunate traveler who had encountered slave traders, and so he weakly spoke up to remind them,

"Run! Run! They're human traffickers!"

However, as he gradually regained consciousness, Tiger realized that something seemed wrong. How did he end up sitting on such a small boat?

When he turned his head, he found that Jebt was standing there like a statue, not paying any attention to him at all.

Jebt's face was filled with terror, as if he had seen something horrifying. He trembled as he extended a finger and stammered,

"Black, black..."

call!

Endless darkness swept out from behind Gig, instantly engulfing Jebt and the others along with their ship, leaving only a bewildered Tiger floating alone on the sea.

Giger raised one foot and placed it on the bow of the boat, leaned down and extended a hand to Tiger, saying,

"Hey, want to come up?"

Chapter 184 The Shocked Tiger

Looking at Giger's outstretched hand, Tiger hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and shook it.

However, at this moment his physical condition was extremely poor, and he was powerless to use the strength of this hand to board the speedboat. A trace of embarrassment and helplessness appeared on his face.

Giger noticed Tiger's predicament, so he exerted a little force and pulled the over five-meter-tall Tiger up with one hand.

Tiger was once again taken aback by Gigg's incredible strength and sat in the cabin in a daze.

Giggs, deep in thought, pinched his chin and carefully examined the red-skinned fishman in front of him. He had a rough idea of ​​who he was: Tiger, the big boss among the fishmen, a true man.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that he dared to climb up the Red Earth alone and cause trouble later was enough to turn that "Sweat King" into a clown.

Even though he died because of human betrayal, he still held onto the idea of ​​wanting humans and fishmen to live in peace, instead of mindlessly hating humans like Arlong Hody and other fishmen.

In terms of both behavior and character, that "Sweat King" is no match for Tiger's...

Giger recalled that the original story mentioned that Tiger had once been a slave. If he hadn't run into him this time, the tragedy would probably have repeated itself.

At this moment, Tiger struggled to sit up straight, and judging from his movements, it seemed that he wanted to kowtow to Giger.

Giger leaned down and pressed his hand on Tiger's shoulder, saying,

"You shouldn't move around too much; you should rest first."

Tiger said with a grateful expression,

"Thank you for saving me, you are my savior. My name is Fisher Tiger. Can you tell me your name?"

"Oh, my name is Gig. Tell me what happened earlier. You look quite strong. How did you get abducted by slave traders and put on the ship?"

Tiger immediately recounted the whole story, growing angrier as he spoke, and finally said indignantly,

"Those humans are so evil!"

Giger suddenly blurted out,

"So, do you think I'm a good person?"

Tiger paused for a moment, then continued,

"Of course you're a good person, you saved me!"

"You really don't learn your lesson. Didn't you ever think that I was here to rip you off? That guy named Jebt already said that fishmen like you are very valuable."

As he spoke, Giger's lips curled into a wicked smile, and his eyes flashed with an eerie red light, emanating a terrifying pressure.

Tiger swallowed hard, feeling the oppressive aura surrounding him. He instinctively shifted back, but Gigg suddenly laughed.

"Just kidding, to teach you a lesson."

Tiger felt a sudden sense of relief wash over him. He wiped the cold sweat from his brow, his heart filled with utter horror.

In the past year, when Tiger was still on Fishman Island, he had a distant glimpse of a human named Roger. The scene from that time is still vivid in his mind.

Roger stood next to Neptune, his figure not particularly tall for a fish-man, and even appeared quite small in comparison to Neptune.

But this "petite" body exudes an unparalleled domineering aura, and just by looking at it from afar, Tiger felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Later, Tiger learned some things about Roger from King Neptune.

It turns out that the human named Roger was a pirate, but one of the most powerful pirates on the seas, and a recognized top human! His power was enough to easily destroy a country!

However, compared to Roger at that time, the shock that Giger brought to him was much more profound.

After all, Tiger was quite far from Roger at the time, and only caught a brief glimpse of him. But now, he was personally experiencing the terrifying pressure that was right up close.

And Gigg in front of him looks much younger than Roger!

Tiger himself was considered one of the top fishmen, even Sambell, who had joined Roger's crew, was no match for him, yet he still appeared so weak in front of Gigg.

Humans are truly a race with a huge gap between their potential and their limitations.

He then thought that such top-tier experts must be very famous in the world, and these experts who stand at the pinnacle of the world probably know each other to some extent.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Tiger asked,

"Hey Giger, do you know Roger?"

Upon hearing Roger's name, Giger's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
