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

Giger turned his head expressionlessly and asked indifferently,

"what's up?"

Stared at by Giggs' heterochromatic eyes, one gold and one red, Tiger felt a chill creep up his spine, his body icy as if plunged into a freezer, and he froze on the spot, unable to utter a single word.

Giger ignored Tiger and turned to look at Otohime, who was lying on the ground, and said coldly,

"Now we should talk about Roger."

Upon hearing this, Otohime felt like crying but had no tears left. Giger had clearly not taken Roger's matter seriously just now, but now he was bringing it up again. It was obvious that he wanted to use this matter to cause trouble after being rejected by Neptune.

This matter is indeed very serious. If Giger insists on holding onto this issue, then even if King Neptune is executed on the spot by Giger, it would be considered reasonable and legal by the World Government.

What she didn't know was that even if Giggs really killed Neptune on a whim, he wouldn't need to find any reason.

In a sense, the entire Fishman Island belongs to Giggs, and Neptune is just one of his many stewards.

This statement is not an exaggeration at all, because in the eyes of any Celestial Dragon, this is taken for granted.

Compared to the other Celestial Dragons, Giggs is already considered quite reasonable.

Unfortunately, sometimes the more you reason with someone, the more likely they are to take advantage of you, and Neptune is a prime example.

Neptune could no longer even groan; he could only tilt his head and look at Otohime with his cloudy eyes, his eyes filled with pain.

Seeing this scene, Otohime could no longer bear it and cried out,

"Please spare Neptune! I'll do anything you ask!"

Snapped!

A warm smile appeared on Giger's face. He snapped his fingers, and the large sphere of blood that had been floating on his fingertips surged back into Neptune's body, instantly making his pale face rosy.

The Conqueror's Haki that had enveloped the entire hall was also withdrawn by Giger. Otohime and the others slowly rose, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Giger.

Giger looked at Otohime with a smile and said,

"No wonder the people call her Lady Otohime. It seems you are much more reasonable than this king. I just gave Fishman Island a chance to atone for its sins, but I didn't expect him to reject it so thoroughly. There's nothing I can do but handle this officially."

Otohime suppressed her fear, forced a smile, and said...

"Then I thank General Black Dragon on behalf of all the people of Fishman Island!"

As she spoke, Princess Otohime even bowed to Gige, which made Gige look at the young mermaid queen in front of him with newfound respect.

Not only that, but when Otohime bowed again, she also glared at Neptune beside her, directly stopping Neptune from trying to do something reckless again.

After straightening up, Otohime's smile became much more natural, as if the unpleasantness from before had never happened.

She mustered her courage, looked directly into Giger's eyes, and whispered,

"General Black Dragon, since you know that I will have a daughter in the future, you must also know what makes our daughter special, right?"

Is Chapter 191 qualified?

Giger smiled noncommittally and said,

"She's very special, so you want to talk to me about the terms again, right?"

Otohime had completely let go, and nodded decisively, saying,

"Yes, General Black Dragon, I do have a condition, but I don't know if you can represent the entire World Government?"

After saying that, Otohime stared intently at Gige.

While a Navy admiral certainly holds a high position of power, it is clearly not enough to represent the entire world government. Even a Navy admiral would not dare to claim that he is qualified.

What she wanted to know was whether Gigg had come with the World Government's intentions this time, and to what extent he could achieve them.

Giger was taken aback when he heard the question, and then he suddenly put his hand to his forehead and burst into unrestrained laughter.

Otohime swallowed hard, wondering to herself if her question had been too sharp and direct. She couldn't help but feel uneasy, because she really wasn't sure why Gig had suddenly burst into laughter.

At this moment, Otohime's mind was filled with all sorts of speculations and worries. She began to wonder if she had really said something wrong, which had caused Gigo to react so strangely.

Perhaps Giger was laughing at himself in anger; maybe he'll explode again in the next second.

The relationship between them and Giger was inherently unequal, which is the tragedy of the weak. Perhaps a single, unintentional action by the strong can cause them to panic and even feel uneasy.

Because their fate is in the hands of the strong.

As Otohime and the others waited anxiously, Giger's laughter gradually subsided. He looked at Otohime and spoke.

"Is my surname Figarando enough?"

When the name Figarando was uttered, Jinbe and the others didn't react much, but Otohime and Neptune were struck dumb. They stared wide-eyed at Giger in disbelief.

Just moments ago, Otohime had maintained her composure, but now even her voice was trembling.

"Black, Black Dragon General, are you talking about Figaro from Mary Geoise?!"

Giger narrowed his eyes slightly and said,

"What? You've never heard of anyone else in this world daring to take this surname?"

At this moment, Shirley, sitting on Giger's shoulders, spoke up weakly.

"His surname is indeed Figarando; I heard someone call him Saint Giggs in the crystal ball..."

Shirley's words directly confirmed Giger's identity, and Otohime and the others had always had unwavering faith in Shirley's abilities.

Otohime murmured,

"Figarando Giggs... someone from that family actually became a Marine Admiral?"

Looking at Giger's young face, Otohime nodded stiffly and continued talking to herself.

"Yes, if it's that family, then having such talent is indeed to be expected..."

Neptune felt a mixture of fear and a sense of luck.

As the king of a constituent republic, how could he not know the significance of the name Figarando? Compared to this name, the aura of a naval admiral instantly paled in comparison.

The fact that Giger didn't kill him outright shows his magnanimity.

Tiger Jinpei and the others were completely baffled by Otohime and Neptune's behavior, wondering if there was any special significance to the surname Figarando.

In the silence, Giger spoke softly.

"Alright, am I qualified now?"

Now, Giggs' voice sounded like a thunderclap to Otohime and Neptune. Otohime nodded vigorously and said,

"Black, no, Lord Gig Saint! You certainly have the right!"

"Then state your conditions."

Otohime lowered her head so low it was almost buried in her chest, and said through gritted teeth,

"I dare not state any conditions, but please consider this my wish. I simply hope that the residents of Fishman Island can move to the mainland to live, so that humans will know that Fishmen and Mermaids are not aliens, and that everyone can live together in harmony!"

Giger looked down at Princess Otohime. At this moment, he was a supreme emperor, whose words could decide the fate of countless people.

He remained silent for a while; this period of time felt like an eternity to Otohime and the others.

Until Giggs' voice rang out again,

"Okay, once I see your daughter, I can grant you this wish."

A seemingly casual remark made Otohime feel as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted from her shoulders, and she let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming look of ecstasy appeared on her face, accompanied by a strong sense of unreality.

Otohime is the kind of person who is born a "saint" among humans. Born into royalty, she has been worried about the fate of the fish-men and the mermaid race since she was a child.

She knew that humans were the masters of this world, and if humans could never accept the two races, then destruction would surely await both races.

Therefore, she desperately hopes that the mermaid and fish-man races can truly integrate into humanity. However, she also knows that prejudice is something that is difficult to eradicate once it is formed. If the World Government does not take the initiative to take action, no matter how much she does, it will be in vain.

Compared to persuading the residents of Fishman Island, changing the World Government's perception of these two groups is undoubtedly more difficult and crucial.

It's unclear how long it would take her to achieve this on her own.

But now, after receiving Giger's reply, she saw a glimmer of hope for the first time, a light as dazzling as a dream.

Princess Otohime was so overwhelmed with emotion that she rushed to Giger, grabbed his hands tightly, and said with tears in her eyes,

"Thank you, Lord Giggs. If that day ever comes, you will be the benefactor of the entire Fishman Island!"

Giger raised an eyebrow and said,

“I’m not interested in this kind of thing. We’ll talk about it after you give birth to your daughter.”

"I understand, Lord Giger, I will definitely work even harder!"

"...There's no need to rush things; it wouldn't be good to ruin your health."

In fact, Giger didn't care much about Otohime's health. He just felt that Otohime needed to give birth to three healthy sons before Shirahoshi was born. If things were rushed before that, it would affect Shirahoshi's birth.

Princess Otohime simply nodded, but judging from her expression, Giger felt that she might take action as soon as he left.

To be honest, if Otohime's appearance hadn't been so unpalatable to Giger, Giger might have even considered participating himself if Otohime had been willing.

Otohime and Neptune have only been married for a few months, so their feelings for each other probably haven't deepened much yet. For the sake of her ideals, Otohime might actually agree to marry Neptune.

However, if that were the case, the baby probably wouldn't be Shirahoshi.
