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

Tiger stared at Gigg for a long time, and finally confirmed: Gigg really didn't have gills!

Giger was getting a little impatient. He had originally wanted Tiger to give him directions, but the guy was just spacing out.

Ignoring Tiger, Giger's lips moved slightly, and an invisible wave emanated from his body.

Tiger, being a fish-man, was extremely sensitive to changes in the seawater. Although it was only for a moment, he still noticed that the temperature of the seawater had risen significantly.

Just as he was about to tell Gigg the location of Fishman Island, Gigg had already received the signal, as well as the ultra-wide-range ultrasonic wave he had just emitted.

Before Tiger could speak, Giger exerted force with his legs, adjusted the bow of the boat, and then burst into the depths of the sea.

Tiger had no choice but to grip the sides of the speedboat tightly with both hands, feeling extremely surprised, because Giger was driving in a very accurate direction, as if he were a frequent visitor to this place.

The distance of 10,000 meters underwater was nothing to Giger, and soon, the Fishman Island, wrapped in bubble membrane, came into his sight.

This bubble wrap is actually a very clever design, intended to prevent illegal vessels coated with it from smuggling in.

If you try to force your way through the first layer of bubble membrane, the coated membrane will be absorbed by the large bubble membrane surrounding Fishman Island, resulting in the destruction of your ship and the loss of your life.

Even knowing this, Gigg had no intention of taking the detour. He was originally uncoated and could move freely in the water, so the so-called defenses of the entire Fishman Island were useless to him.

Giggs didn't slow down at all and charged straight toward Fishman Island.

However, just as Gigg was about to rush into Fishman Island, he suddenly stopped. He sensed that several large creatures had been gathering towards him since the beginning.

Giger narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze lingering on the bubble wrap. Tiger, noticing this, asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Brother Giger, why did you stop? What's next is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tiger's expression suddenly changed. Not only him, but the residents of Fishman Island below also looked up in astonishment.

It was clear that a small speedboat like Giger was not enough to attract so much attention. What attracted them were several large sea monsters that were over 500 meters long.

Their target was very clear: Gigg, who was the size of an ant to them, on that speedboat.

However, in Giger's eyes, these sea kings are also "ants".

Let alone sea kings that are over 500 meters long, even those that are over 5,000 meters long would just be bigger seafood to him.

However, Tiger and the residents below didn't think so. The sight of such a massive group of sea kings taking such a big fright even to those who lived on the seabed all their lives.

Moreover, these sea kings all had bloodshot eyes and gaping mouths, their ferocious state clearly indicating that they were up to no good.

Tiger rose from the cabin, placing his hands on the surrounding seawater, ready for battle.

Just then, Giger snorted coldly, and a dark tornado shot straight into the sky from behind him, then burst open, forming a dark curtain.

The sea monsters, which had been swimming rapidly just moments before, suddenly had clearer eyes after the appearance of this dark curtain, followed by a look of fear that was just like that of humans.

To everyone's horror, all the sea kings turned around and tried to escape.

However, the darkness spread too quickly, and along the way, it released a powerful gravitational force that forcibly pulled all the sea kings into its embrace.

It wasn't just these sea monsters that were swallowed by the darkness; a large amount of seawater was also engulfed by it.

As the darkness receded into Giger's body, a large vacuum briefly formed around him, and the speedboat plummeted downwards.

With one hand in his pocket and an indifferent expression, Giger fell along with the speedboat beneath him until he broke through the bubble membrane above Fishman Island.

Just as the speedboat was about to crash into the crowd below, a pair of large, jet-black wings suddenly unfurled from Giger's back, and countless black feathers fluttered down.

Giger directly absorbed the speedboat into the Dark Bible. He grabbed Tiger with one hand and slowly descended from the sky, floating above the group of merfolk and fishmen.

The crowd below stared blankly at Jig, who looked up at them like a god.

Tiger was no less shocked than the people below. He had witnessed Giger unleashing his power up close, and with those suddenly unfolded enormous wings, he no longer believed Giger was human.

Gigg slowly flapped his wings and began to descend to the ground. The crowd below instinctively made way for Gigg until he landed completely on the ground.

Upon landing, his wings transformed into flowing darkness and entered Giger's body. He turned and looked around, a benevolent smile appearing on his face, and said...

Hello everyone.

No one responded.

An eerie silence fell over the entire scene, with only the tense breathing of the crowd clearly audible.

"Move aside!"

A group of fishmen in uniforms pushed their way through the crowd with the merfolk. One of them, a slightly round-figured fishman with blue skin, exclaimed with delight upon seeing Tiger.

"Brother Tiger!"

Tiger paused for a moment, then said,

"Jinbei?"

Jinbe's group approached Jig and Tiger, led by a seahorse mermaid whose expression looked very serious.

Normally, if he encountered a human who had trespassed on Fishman Island, he would definitely lead his men to capture him. But just now, he witnessed Giggs's attack and knew that this human was not someone he could handle.

In fact, it's difficult to find anyone on the entire Fishman Island who can rival him.

He composed himself and asked, trying to speak calmly.

"Hello, I am the Right Minister of the Dragon Palace Kingdom. May I ask who you are?"

Jiger smiled and said,

"My name is Jig, and I'm here on a trip."

Is it just a trip...?

The Right Minister was surprised, and Jinbe, who was behind him, couldn't help but step forward and come to Tiger.

Tiger looked Jinbe up and down and said,

"Good lad, you've really made something of yourself! When did you join the army?"

Jinbe scratched his head sheepishly, a smug look on his face, and said,

“Brother Tiger, I can’t stay in Fishman Street as a thug forever, can I? I left after you left, and I passed the army’s test very easily. Now I’m a captain!”

Chapter 187 Target: Shirahoshi

Tiger was very pleased with Jinbe's ambition, but now was not the time for idle chatter.

Jinbe was still standing there waiting for Tiger's praise, but Tiger turned to the Minister of the Right and said...

"Minister of the Right, this is Admiral Black Dragon of the Navy. Your behavior is extremely rude!"

"Nani?!"

The Right Minister was startled upon hearing this, and then looked at Gige in disbelief.

Giger simply smiled and said,

"As I said, I'm just a traveler right now, so don't be too nervous."

The Right Minister swallowed hard, thinking to himself: Although the other party said that, the title of Admiral was not something he could ignore.

If what Tiger said is true, and the unusually young-looking man in front of him is indeed the legendary Admiral, then I, as a mere Right Minister, am truly not qualified to receive him.

Thinking of this, he quickly stepped aside to make way, and under the astonished gazes of those around him, he bowed respectfully to Giger and sincerely invited, "General, if you don't mind, would you like to come with me to the Dragon Palace?"

At this moment, the Right Minister, who held a revered position in the hearts of the Fishman Island residents, spoke with a tone of awe and humility.

Most of the residents here have never left Fishman Island, and they are unaware of the meaning behind the title "Admiral".

Looking at the Right Minister's humble attitude, Gige pondered for a moment, then nodded and said,

"Alright, I'd also like to visit the famous Dragon Palace. Lead the way."

Having received Gige's permission, the Right Minister breathed a slight sigh of relief and immediately ordered the soldiers to form two lines, surrounding Gige in the middle.

Seeing this, the people around quickly dispersed and watched as Giger and his group headed towards the location of the Dragon Palace.

On the way, Jinbe quietly approached Tiger from behind and whispered,

"Brother Tiger, is he really a Marine Admiral? How did you run into him?"

Tiger turned around and glared at Jinbe, then said,

"Speak your mind! If he's not a general, then who is? If it weren't for him, you might not even see me again!"

Jinbe shrank his enormous fish head and fell silent.

Giger glanced at him, amused.

It's surprising that Jinbe was so simple-minded when he was young, a stark contrast to his later mature self.

Jinbe was also curiously observing Jig. He couldn't imagine how such a "frail" body could unleash such earth-shattering power.

Jinbe is currently eighteen years old, about the same age as Giger. He inevitably has a competitive spirit, and his lack of understanding of the title of Marine Admiral makes him unable to suppress his inner impulse to personally experience Giger's unparalleled strength.

However, Jinbe knew what was important and now was clearly not the time to put this idea into practice. He could only choose to keep it to himself for the time being.

Before long, the group arrived at the residence of the Fishman Island royal family, the Dragon Palace.

To the average person, the Dragon Palace is undoubtedly magnificent and spectacular, but compared to the Figarand family's territory, it pales in comparison.

It was the golden dragon sculpture perched above the Dragon Palace that caught Jig's eye.

Inside the main hall, Neptune was discussing something with the Left Minister when Giggs and his entourage suddenly entered, startling him slightly.

However, when he saw Giger in the middle of the crowd, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.
