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

Akainu narrowed his eyes, his entire body transforming into a surging pool of magma. As Oden appeared above the magma, Akainu's figure suddenly erupted from it. His magma-transformed left hand, highly concentrated and burning with crimson flames, slammed into Oden's chest with a furious roar.

"Pluto!!!"

Even Oden dared not withstand the magma's attack with Armament Haki, so he had to withdraw his attack and instead protect his chest with his twin swords. However, the impact, like a volcanic eruption, still blasted him away.

Seizing the opportunity, Giger pressed his dark left hand onto the ground. The moment Oden landed, the ground beneath his feet suddenly turned pitch black, and Giger's voice rang out.

"Dark acupoint!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful suction force erupted from the darkened ground. Oden struggled to resist, but his legs below the knees were still pulled into the darkness.

Soon, Oden felt his limbs, which had sunk into the darkness, being torn apart by a violent force. He hurriedly activated his Armament Haki, trying to break free from the darkness's grasp while defending himself.

Of course, Giger wouldn't let this opportunity pass. His entire left arm had turned dark, and the power of darkness was becoming increasingly violent. Oden felt as if his two calves were about to be torn apart, and he couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

At that very moment, Giger gave a low shout.

"Hidden Waterfall Burial!"

The power of darkness erupted completely. Oden's eyes widened suddenly, and he let out a painful roar. Under the intense stimulation, he finally broke free from the darkness and fell heavily onto the ground where the darkness had not reached.

There was no other way. To deal with an enemy like Oden, who was extremely strong individually, Giger couldn't allow the power of darkness to be too dispersed. Otherwise, with his abilities, it would be easy for him to cover the entire deck with darkness.

Meanwhile, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, who were elsewhere, changed their expressions drastically upon hearing Oden's screams. Ignoring Lucia and Gion who were attacking, they endured a wave of damage and rushed desperately toward Oden.

When the two saw Oden, their eyes widened in fury, and they shouted,

"Lord Oden!!"

Oden's face was deathly pale. He was supporting himself with two swords. His right leg had disappeared from the knee down, and blood was spraying onto the ground from his trouser leg. He looked extremely miserable.

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi rushed to Oden's side like madmen, each supporting him on one side. The hot-tempered Nekomamushi roared...

"Who!? Who injured Lord Oden like this!?"

Despite the excruciating pain, Oden spoke weakly.

"I was too impulsive. Is this element... darkness?"

He broke free from the cat and viper, and standing on only one leg, he struggled to steady himself, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"These three must not be let go! Kill them!"

Without him even saying a word, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, who were extremely loyal to him, were already furious. Nekomamushi was about to attack, but Inuarashi, who was relatively calm, suddenly stopped him and said,

"Wait! Look at the sky!"

The cat viper was startled, then looked up at the sky. When he saw the full moon, his face lit up with wild joy.

"Tonight is a full moon! Hahaha! You're all doomed!"

Chapter 65 Transformation! Luna Form!

Cat-belly snake and Inuarashi gazed at the full moon in the sky, their bodies gradually swelling, their fur turning completely white, most notably the hair on their heads, which danced wildly like a lion's mane.

This is the unique racial talent of the Mink Tribe: transforming under the moon into the Moon Lion form.

The two, now transformed, looked extremely excited. Their blood-red eyes were fixed on Giger opposite them.

With a crackling sound of electricity, the two disappeared instantly. Giger raised an eyebrow, swung the Muramasa behind him, and collided with two claws wrapped in electricity.

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi let out a long howl, then swung their claws, with rampant electricity flowing from them. Gig ignored the electricity, and faced the two in Sulong form, he fought them both without showing any signs of weakness.

Akainu and Kizaru were initially thinking of helping, but seeing the situation, they turned their attention to the already crippled Oden.

The laser and magma attacked simultaneously. Oden, who had lost a leg, had not yet fully adapted and could only choose to stand still and fight head-on.

However, since he specialized in physical combat, the absence of Gigg, the most difficult opponent, made the fight much easier for him.

Oden bounced back and forth on one leg in an extremely strange posture, and Kizaru and Akainu really couldn't do anything about him. They even had to be wary of his twin swords wrapped in Armament Haki.

Meanwhile, on Gigg's side, the area where he was located had turned into darkness. Although Nekomamushi and Inuarashi in their Sulong forms had extremely high speed, they were tightly restricted by the gravity of the darkness, and they might be dragged into the darkness if they were not careful.

However, Giger was not satisfied with the current situation. Impatience was already showing on his face. It should be said that his mood had been a bit off ever since the full moon rose.

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were unaware that Giggs' eyes were emitting a faint red light. Their attacks became increasingly ferocious, and they let out a piercing roar before unleashing their ultimate techniques.

"Cat Laughs Conflict!"

"Dog Slashes the Arrow!"

The knife and claws pierced through Giger's body, and the powerful inertia nearly sent the two of them flying off the warship.

Once it had stopped, the cat-like snake roared furiously.

"Damn it, it's happening again! We're using Haki, why can't we hit him?!"

Inuarashi exhaled two puffs of hot air from his nostrils. He was also very frustrated. He thought that he could take down the most difficult one of the three Logia-type users by transforming, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

Gigan's powerful swordsmanship and domineering aura were already putting them under pressure, and with this sinister "elementalization" technique, if they continued fighting like this, they would be in an extremely dangerous situation once the transformation ended.

But they still had to bite the bullet and fight, because if they let out a fighter like Gigg, their Lord Oden might not be able to get off the warship.

Another jet-black sword aura struck, and the cat-belly snake hurriedly raised its claws to block it, while Inuarashi rushed towards Giger and slashed with his sword.

sulfuric acid!

Inuarashi finally managed to strike Gig's physical form, but there was no trace of joy on his face.

He stared incredulously at the blade held in Giger's hand.

"This, how is this possible!?"

"call......"

Jig lowered his head and slowly exhaled a breath of white air. To Inuarashi's astonishment, the fingernails on his hands turned completely black, resembling the sharp claws of a wild beast.

When Giger raised his head, Inuarashi saw a pair of blood-red eyes. Being stared at by those eyes, Inuarashi suddenly felt his power waning, even though there was still some time before the transformation ended.

He swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"You, what did you do?"

Jig remained silent. He slightly raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky. His eyes blazed with red light, and a violent current spread from his hand to Inuarashi's body, instantly scorching his fur black. Inuarashi knelt down in front of Jig with a thud.

The cat viper was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. The Mink Tribe had a very high resistance to electricity, and he couldn't understand how Inuarashi could be injured by electricity like this.

Jig didn't even glance at Inuarashi on the ground. Bathed in moonlight, his black hair moved without wind, and his body radiated dazzling electric light.

Everyone on deck couldn't help but look towards Gigg. Lucia, having cleaved Vista in two by slashing his way, stared blankly at Gigg, muttering to herself,

"Little Lord......"

Crack!

The electric current emanating from Giger's body grew increasingly violent. Before everyone's eyes, his long black hair, which had reached his waist, instantly turned into a silvery-white color like moonlight. His figure grew taller again, and his skin emitted a faint silver glow.

A terrifying surge of Conqueror's Haki mixed with silver lightning erupted from Giger's body, directly blowing Inuarashi, who was kneeling in front of him, away.

Nekomamushi hurriedly reached out to catch it, but was knocked off balance by Inuarashi's body. Only then did he realize that his transformation had ended at some point, and the Mink Tribe would fall into a state of weakness after the transformation ended.

But he couldn't care less about that right now, because there was something even more shocking to him: Gigg had actually transformed under the full moon, just like the Mink Tribe!

Isn't that their Sulong form?

The only difference is that a silver ribbon formed by moonlight surrounds Giger, similar to the flame cloud after a Zoan-type Devil Fruit awakens.

The cat viper's pupils contracted, and he seemed to have realized something, shouting in disbelief,

"This posture is...the Moon Goddess?!"

Hearing the Nekomamushi's voice, Inuarashi struggled to open his eyes. When he saw Gig after his transformation, he froze, muttering to himself,

"That's the legendary moon goddess form possessed only by royalty! How could this be?! He's clearly a human!"

Giger slowly raised his lowered eyes, extended a finger, and pointed the fingertip at Nekomamushi and Inuarashi.

Cat Viper, being a member of the Mink Clan, was far more adept at sensing danger than Inuarashi. Upon seeing Giger's actions, his fur bristled, and he turned to hide while still holding Inuarashi.

However, the instant he turned around, a silver streak shot out from Giger's fingertips and pierced through the cat viper's body from behind.

A look of bewilderment crossed the cat viper's face. He looked down at the charred hole in his chest, then his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

When Inuarashi came to his senses, he frantically pushed Nekomamushi's body, calling out Nekomamushi's name.

However, the cat viper could no longer respond; its life force had been completely extinguished.

Chapter 66 You call this a student?

"Cat viper!!!"

Inuarashi's desperate cries echoed across the deck of the warship. Nekomamushi's corpse lay before him. Upon seeing this, Marco rushed over, activating his blue flames and using Pineapple Gravel to try and heal Nekomamushi.

But all his efforts were in vain; the cat viper was already dead beyond any doubt.

Marco's face darkened with anger, and he said hatefully,

"Damn it! That guy named Giger, how dare he..."

Before he could finish speaking, a gentle breeze brushed against his pineapple-shaped head, and he stiffened, slowly raising his head.

Giger was looking down at him with ruby-like eyes, as if he were an ant.

Immediately afterwards, his right hand turned black and grabbed Marco's shoulder. With a crack, Marco clutched his shoulder and rolled to the ground, letting out a painful scream.
