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

Aokiji stomped his foot, and a giant ice pillar rose from the ground, sending him up with him.

As soon as the three took off, the ground they had been on was completely engulfed in darkness. However, even at high altitude, the gravity emanating from the darkness continued to pull them toward the ground.

Aokiji's situation is the most critical, as the ice pillars he created are constantly sinking into the waves of darkness.

The dragon's lower body was a cyan hurricane, while its upper body solidified. It stared at Gigg below, its hands outstretched, two gusts of wind converging in its palms. Then, dense cyan wind blades burst forth from the gusts.

"Wind Weaves the Mist Fang!"

Aramu spread out his tree-like arms, each extending four thick wooden spikes. The spikes gleamed with a dark, shiny luster, clearly indicating that he had also awakened Armament Haki.

At this moment, he looked like an octopus, with eight thick tree thorns growing wildly and thrusting towards Gigg below.

"Yamata no Yamata no Kiju!"

Aokiji exhaled a breath of cold air, and as he extended an elemental arm, a giant ice bird appeared out of thin air.

"ICE - Violent Pheasant Beak!"

Three elemental attacks rained down, leaving the onlookers in awe. Apart from a few top-tier fighters like Garp, even several lieutenant generals admitted they couldn't withstand the three attacks.

The range of the natural-type attacks is simply too vast, and the elements represented by the three individuals are all extremely destructive; just looking at them is enough to send chills down your spine.

They were all worried for Giger, but Zefa and the other students seemed much calmer, as they had full confidence in Giger's abilities.

Throughout, Giger remained calm and didn't even raise his head.

Just as the three attacks from the sky were about to land, Gigg's body suddenly emitted a blinding white light. Seeing this, Zephyr and the others' expressions finally changed. Zephyr turned his head sharply and met Garp's solemn gaze.

Without saying a word, the two of them moved to the front and, under the puzzled gazes of the onlookers, simultaneously raised their arms as if to defend themselves.

At that very moment, Giger's voice came from the center of the arena.

"White Hole - Shinra Tensei".

hum!

A terrifying repulsive force erupted from Giger, forming a semi-circular force field. The attacks of the three dragons were instantly crushed by the repulsive force, and the people were also blasted by the repulsive force, spitting blood and losing their balance in the air, falling to the ground one after another.

Capzef and his companion were on high alert, but just as the repulsive field was about to spread to their side, it suddenly stopped, making their actions somewhat awkward.

Garp lowered his arms dejectedly and said,

"This Giger... it seems he has mastered this move, controlling both its range and power very well."

Zefa's raised arms naturally turned into a cross-arm, leaving the people behind him with an unfathomable silhouette.

However, at this moment, no one paid any attention to Karp and Zephyr anymore. They all looked horrified and stared at the bare ground on the field.

The entire venue fell silent until a cracking sound rang out.

The ice pillar beneath Aokiji's feet had been blasted into ice shards and dissipated into the air by the repulsive force. He was the only one who fell to the ground; the other two had the ability to stay airborne.

However, since Aokiji is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, he wouldn't die from a fall. It's just that due to the nature of his Devil Fruit, he looked rather tragic, having been smashed into a pile of ice shards.

What bothered him most was that as soon as he landed, darkness swept in. The ice fragments he had transformed into could not even reassemble, and the mere act of resisting the tearing of the darkness was too much for him to handle in his current state.

This was before Giggs had fully unleashed the dark gravity; Aokiji was laboriously conjuring a mouth on a piece of ice shard, and he shouted.

"Senior Giger, I admit defeat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the darkness in the area where Aokiji was located instantly disappeared. Without the pull of darkness, he quickly condensed his own body.

He gasped for breath, then looked at Giger with awe. Giger smiled, flashed to Aokiji's side, and pulled him up from the ground.

Aokiji was both moved and ashamed. He lowered his head and said,

"I'm too weak..."

Snapped!

Giger reached out and patted Aokiji on the shoulder. Aokiji looked up sharply, meeting Giger's encouraging gaze.

"Don't underestimate yourself, you've done very well."

"Senior Jig..."

At this moment, in Aokiji's eyes, Giger was as dazzling as the sun.

He's only 18 years old now, while Huang Mu and Long are much older than him and haven't had much systematic training, so even if he's the first to lose, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Chapter 77 Armament Haki Advancement

For Giger, Aokiji is definitely an important combat force worth recruiting, after all, he is a real general prospect.

In the original work, Aokiji was deeply influenced by Garp, but now, Giger is planning to snatch this rookie Aokiji away and make him lean towards his side.

Since words of encouragement are free, Giger said a few more, which moved Aokiji deeply, and he eventually obediently retreated to the sidelines.

Above the sky, Aramaki, the user of the Forest-Forest Fruit, recovered extremely quickly under the sun's rays. Of course, this was also because Giger did not unleash his full power, which gave him the opportunity to recover.

He watched Aokiji leave the stage and a thought crossed his mind.

"Since Lord Giger Saint admires this popsicle blockhead so much, I'd better step up my game..."

Huang Mu casually glanced at the dragon not far away.

Dragon was not in good condition at the moment. He looked like a messy, disorganized mess. He had obviously not recovered from the impact of Shinra Tensei. Otherwise, he would not have failed to condense his body yet.

A mocking smile appeared on Huang Mu's face; he had never liked dragons.

What nonsense about tolerance and equality! People are inherently divided into different classes, and some people are born to be kings who are above all others. This is an unchangeable fact!

Once the dragon had finally regained its footing, Huang Mu immediately spoke up with a sarcastic remark.

"Hey, are you even capable? I think you might as well just admit defeat!"

Long gave him a cold look and said,

"Go ahead and admit defeat if you want to."

"Tch, you're really stubborn. Fine, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

After speaking, Huang Mu's expression turned serious, the dandelion on his back shrank back into his body, and his body fell rapidly in an instant.

In mid-air, he transformed his entire body into elements, and his size rapidly expanded. With a loud bang, a giant tree-man tens of meters tall crashed heavily onto the ground.

"Forbidden hatred!"

Giger crossed his arms and looked at the giant tree-man in front of him with great interest. Suddenly, a tornado roared in and swept Giger up.

The dragon in the sky smiled slightly and muttered to itself,

"Being distracted during battle is a major taboo..."

"you are right."

"Nani!?"

Dragon's pupils contracted, and a dark vortex appeared out of thin air behind him. Gigg's figure emerged from it and then punched Dragon in the lower back.

Whoosh!

The dragon's body plummeted from the sky like a meteor, crashing into the ground and creating a deep, human-shaped crater.

Giger landed beside the pit, and suddenly, the spot where he was standing was covered by a shadow, and a huge fist slammed down on him.

"Senior Giger! Take this!"

Huang Mu dared not ambush Gige, and even gave him a friendly reminder before making his move. However, Gige showed no intention of dodging and instantly activated his Divine Might. Huang Mu's fist slammed directly into the deep pit where the dragon was, producing a deafening roar.

However, even though Huang Mu knew that such attacks would have little effect on Jig, he still swung his fist, which was as big as a house, and slammed it into the ground repeatedly, raising dust and making the crater bigger and bigger.

After a while, a gentle breeze emerged from the pit, and a ragged dragon appeared, clutching his lower back. He glared at Huang Mu and roared,

"Have you smashed enough?!"

Huang Mu stopped what he was doing and said with a surprised expression,

"Huh? You're pretty tough. I thought you'd passed out inside."

The dragon was so angry at these words that he almost fainted. Since he could transform into an elemental being, he was naturally not injured by Huang Mu's fierce smash, but the strong vibrations caused his body to be scattered into airflow again and again, and he could not reassemble it no matter what.

Huang Mu curled his lip, completely ignoring Long. Long suppressed his anger and released a gust of wind to disperse the surrounding sand and dust, only to find that Jig's figure had already disappeared.

The dragon gritted its teeth and said,

"Damn it, he's using the Dark-Dark Fruit's power in such an unorthodox way. How can I attack his physical form?"

As they were talking, Giger's voice came from behind him again.

"You want to hit me? Fine, I'll give you that chance later."

Today, the dragon was truly traumatized by the elusive Giger. Upon hearing Giger's voice, he transformed into a whirlwind and fled into the distance without a word.

Giger showed no intention of pursuing them; he shrugged and said...

"Why are you so nervous? I have to leave you for last."

After saying that, he looked up at Huang Mu and said with a smile,

"I will give you the same chance again."

"Thank you very much, Senior Jige!"
