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

Not to mention Roswald, even the man in the suit he brought didn't dare to breathe loudly here, feeling as if his legs were filled with lead. When they saw their master fall, no one went forward to help him up.

Seeing Roswald's cowardly appearance, Garin immediately lost interest in talking to him. He turned around, sat back down on the sofa, picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said calmly,

"get out."

Rozward dared not leave so easily; in his view, Garin was still angry.

When he arrived, the head of his family, who was also his father, had already told him that if he could not obtain the forgiveness of the Figarando family, he would be expelled from the Holy Land.

He hurriedly turned his gaze to Giger and shouted,

"Lord Giger! I heard you're very interested in collecting Devil Fruits, so I brought three with me this time, all of which have been authenticated!"

"Oh?"

Giger was indeed intrigued by Roswald's words. He slowly walked up to Roswald, looked down at him, and asked...

"Take it out and see."

Roswald quickly turned around and had the man in the suit bring over three small boxes, which he then opened and placed in front of Giger.

Of these three Devil Fruits, two are banana-shaped, green and yellow respectively, while the one in the middle is the most special, being a "cherry bomb".

Chapter 221 Navy Model Worker

The cherry-fruit immediately caught Gigg's eye, because it had two cherries on it, and they were different colors, one red and one purple.

Roswald was about to tell Gigg the names of the three Devil Fruits when Gigg pointed to the Cherry Devil Fruit and asked first.

"The name of this Devil Fruit is the Love-Love Fruit, right?"

Roswald blinked twice, thinking to himself that as expected of the Figarando family, they recognized the fruit at a glance.

He said hastily,

"That's right, Lord Giger, it's the Sweet Fruit. This fruit is perfect for female slaves. I see you just bought some..."

Giger slightly raised his eyes, a crimson light flashing in them, and Roswald immediately shut up.

Glancing at the two banana-shaped Devil Fruits beside her, she could tell from their appearance that they were Zoan-type Devil Fruits, which were most likely the Snake-Snake Fruits that Empress Hancock's two sisters had eaten.

Giger raised his hand and swept it over the three Devil Fruits, directly storing them into the Dark Bible.

Then, under Roswald's anxious gaze, Giger said something indifferently.

"Alright, I'll accept these Devil Fruits. You can leave now."

Upon hearing this, Roswald felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He struggled to his feet and repeatedly expressed his gratitude, as if he had received some great favor.

Only when Giger's face showed impatience did he hurriedly have the man in the suit help him run out, leaving behind only gold scattered all over the ground.

Neither Garin nor Giger mentioned accepting the gold, nor did they say they wouldn't, so Roswald didn't dare bring it up at all. Moreover, for him, calming the Figarando family's anger was the most important thing.

Giger watched Roswald disappear through the doorway in a flash, then suddenly shook his head and chuckled softly.

"I didn't expect this kind of guy to bring me such a surprise."

Garin, who was behind him, put down his teacup and asked,

"It seems you really like that so-called Sweet Fruit. Does it have some special ability?"

Giger turned around and teased,

"Yes, the power of this fruit is as interesting as its appearance. How about it, Uncle Garin? Want to give it a try? None of the Devil Fruits your nephew has his eye on are useless."

Garin smiled noncommittally and said,

"Forget it, I believe it's a good fruit, but I don't like its name. I just heard it too, it's a fruit that's suitable for women."

"That's your prejudice, Uncle Korin. Since when did Devil Fruits start having male and female versions? If you eat this fruit, you might be able to bewitch Shanks and make him come back to acknowledge his ancestors."

"You brat!

Swish!

Giger laughed heartily, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

......

Zig stayed in his clan's territory for over a month, until the headquarters couldn't hold back any longer and called the World Government via Den Den Mushi to learn that Zig was in Mary Geoise.

From Sora's perspective, Gigg has been missing ever since he went to Whole Cake Island, and to make matters worse, he can't get through to Den Den Mushi, which is driving him crazy.

This time it really was Giger's fault. Every time he returned to his clan's territory, he felt a bit reluctant to leave. In addition, his sleep time was getting longer and longer, and he even forgot to call a Den Den Mushi to report to Sora.

If it weren't for a newspaper with the headline "Black Dragon Ravages Whole Cake Island" on Sora's table, Sora would have really launched an attack on Whole Cake Island.

After learning that Giger was alright, Kong breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Even though he had been exhausted by Giger's "disappearance" during this time, he still did not blame Giger at all.

After all, Gigg had done a great service this time. According to the newspaper, Whole Cake Island was almost destroyed by Gigg, and Charlotte Linlin lost many of her children. Just hearing about it was very satisfying.

Aside from inquiring about Giger's condition, he urged Giger to return to headquarters as soon as possible, since Giger was now undoubtedly the face of the Marine Headquarters.

As a model worker in the Navy, Jige naturally received instructions from his superiors to hurry back to work.

Before leaving, Giguet called the Monet sisters to his side and, like a loving father, gave them some words of advice.

"I should go back to the Navy now. During my absence, you must listen to your teacher and study hard."

Monet and Sugar nodded obediently, their eyes filled with deep reluctance, especially Monet's.

She now even feels that being captured by pirates was a very lucky thing, because compared to her previous life, her current life is like heaven, not just materially.

Although they were nominally slaves, they did not feel slighted here; everyone around them treated them very well.

Monet knew perfectly well that all of this was because she and her sister were Giger's slaves.

She no longer felt any aversion to being a slave, and was even striving to become "the young master's favorite slave."

Upon hearing that Giger was about to leave, Monet looked up, pursed her lips, and said...

"Young Master, please don't forget me and Sugar. If you can, please come back and visit us often."

Sugar nodded vigorously to her sister's side, echoing her words.

Looking at the two little ones in front of him, Giger couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

“I didn’t have many slaves, how could I forget you? Besides, this is my home, and I used to come back often.”

Upon hearing this, Monet smiled sweetly and gave a soft "Mmm".

Just then, someone came in and reported,

"Lord Giger, there is a man named Spandane outside who is looking for you."

Giger paused for a moment, then said,

"Understood, tell him to come directly here."

"Yes."

Shortly after, Spandam arrived at Gigg's bedchamber, led by two golden-armored guards.

Upon seeing Giger, Spandine's face lit up with his signature sycophantic smile, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.

This is the ancestral home of the Figarando family, so Spandane no longer needs to hide anything for Gigg.

"Lord Jigsel! It's been so long! I've missed you terribly!"

These cheesy words made the Monet sisters beside Giger shudder. Giger waved his hand helplessly and said,

"Alright, get up. What do you need me for?"

There was no way around it; Spandam was indeed good at flattering, and Zig was quite "favoring" towards him, treating him even better than some Celestial Dragons.

Spandam rose humbly from the ground, but still leaned forward, and said,

"Gig Saint, the woman named Olbia that you previously asked me to keep an eye on has recently crossed a red line with some of her actions. Should we take action against her?"

Chapter 222 The First Simp Spandain

Upon hearing Olbia's name, Giger paused for a moment; to be honest, he had almost forgotten about this woman.

Moreover, if we consider the timeline, it will be less than three years before this woman's affair is exposed.

Seeing that Giger didn't react, Spandam continued,

“Lord Giger, because you had previously paid attention to this woman, I suppressed the matter after receiving the news. Currently, only CP9 knows about this; CP0 is unaware.”

Giger nodded and said,

"You did a good job. Don't worry about this for now. We'll deal with it once CP0 finds out."

This was quite a feat, yet Spandam showed no dissatisfaction upon hearing Gigg's arrangement, and respectfully replied...

"Yes, I will follow Lord Giger's arrangements!"

Since Spandine joined Giger, he no longer needed to spend most of his energy on flattery and social skills in order to get promoted, as depicted in the original story. After all, with Giger as his backer, his path to advancement was clear and straightforward.

As long as Giger sees his loyalty and ability, Giger won't need to worry about things like promotions and wealth.

Therefore, he now has only one guiding principle: to serve Giger.

In short, he puts 200% effort into doing whatever Giger thinks of him, and he also considers things Giger hasn't thought of in advance.
