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

Of course, not everyone can use electricity to strengthen their body. Giger did it because he was physically strong; an ordinary person would have been paralyzed by the electricity long ago.

Zephyr's face showed appreciation after hearing this. Electric discharge was Gigg's own ability, which was in line with the philosophy he advocated. Even if Gigg was not a user of the Dark-Dark Fruit, his physical abilities alone were beyond what an average vice admiral could match.

Despite the praise, Zephyr's punches didn't lessen in force; instead, they became even more ferocious. Gigg ripped his shirt off, revealing his muscular physique, and engaged Zephyr in a fierce exchange of blows.

The two were like two wild beasts; every time their fists collided, a deafening roar followed, and the ground beneath them continued to collapse, the area of ​​which kept expanding.

Above the platform, even the usually composed Sengoku and Garp stared in astonishment at the battle below. Even Fleet Admiral Sora crushed the armrest of his chair and roared...

"Wonderful!"

Chapter 92: Heavenly Obstruction Zhenxing

On the field, Giger and Zefa exchanged a punch, then each retreated to the sidelines.

The area was now a mess from their battle, with large craters and scorch marks from the electricity everywhere.

Giger took a deep breath and relaxed his muscles slightly. Fighting a martial arts expert of the general level like Zephyr was exhilarating, but it still put a lot of strain on his body.

Zefa clenched his fists, a look of exhilaration on his face. He didn't give Gigg much time to rest, ignoring his foot injury as he charged out again.

However, he was stopped halfway by Akainu and Kizaru. Both of them had recovered some of their fighting power and unleashed their abilities on Zephyr.

The laser magma poured out like it was free, and Zephyr dodged what he could, and for what he couldn't, he simply used his fists to clear a path, charging forward head-on.

Knowing he was Zephyr's primary target, Kizaru transformed into a photon and soared into the sky, unleashing another powerful Yasakani no Magatama. He had truly put in a lot of effort today.

Even Zefa was taken aback. He spoke while deflecting the light blasts.

"Good job, Borsalino! This is exactly the kind of focused look your teacher wants to see!"

Upon hearing Zephyr praise him for the first time ever, Kizaru felt a shiver run through his body. Then, he unleashed even larger and denser light blasts.

Akainu was equally decisive, transforming into a magma mage and unleashing a barrage of magma fists at Zephyr from a distance.

Swish!

Giger appeared beside Akainu, his gaze fixed on Zephyr, who was bathed in lasers and magma, and black halos appeared on his right arm.

Then, he raised his arm high, and a dark halo shot straight into the sky before disappearing into the clouds.

After doing all this, Giggs unleashed another torrent of darkness that swept towards Zefa.

Even with all three of his natural powers unleashed, Zephyr wasn't made of steel; the clash of iron fists with Gig had drained a lot of his stamina.

Moreover, both light and dark magma are extremely powerful elements, especially the darkness of Gig. Zephyr used most of his power to resist the gravity of the darkness.

Once someone is pulled into the darkness, even someone with Zephyr's Armament Haki would inevitably get injured. If the area pulled in is too large, then anyone would be completely finished.

Now Zephyr can only wait until Giggs and the other two are exhausted before rushing out to finish them off one by one.

Zephyr's combat experience is truly impressive. In fact, after a fierce battle and continuous output of such high-power elemental attacks, the three of them were already severely exhausted.

However, from another perspective, the fact that a naval admiral had to rely on physical strength to decide the outcome against Giggs and his two companions is already an absurd thing.

Kizaru's face looked deathly pale; he was truly exhausted.

Just when he was about to give up, Giger below suddenly shouted.

"Enough! Borsalino, you can get down now!"

Upon hearing this, Kizaru felt his body go limp and almost fell off the sky.

With his last bit of strength, he used the Yata Mirror to return to Jig and Akainu's side, one hand on Akainu's shoulder, panting heavily.

Akainu was actually exhausted, but he still straightened his shoulders to help Kizaru hold on more steadily.

After the two stopped fighting, Zephyr only had to contend with the darkness released by Giggs. He charged up and leaped, using Moonwalk to stay in mid-air.

Looking down at the three of them, Zeffa nodded in satisfaction. In his opinion, the battle was over. He was about to say a few words when he noticed that the surroundings had suddenly darkened and the audience below were all looking up, looking dazed.

Zefa whirled around, and his pupils contracted sharply when he saw the view above him.

A giant meteorite, so large it almost covered the entire area, broke through the clouds and plummeted downwards.

Even worse, the meteorite was still burning with raging flames.

Giger raised his hand again, a dark vortex appearing in his palm. He pulled sharply through the air, and the meteorite accelerated again under the pull of gravity. Giger roared.

"Heaven hinders the earthquake star!"

Zephyr snapped out of his shock, mobilized all his strength, concentrated all his Armament Haki into his fists, and roared as he unleashed both punches.

As the meteorite approached, Zephyr appeared as a black dot when viewed from below.

His fist slammed into the meteorite, creating a deafening explosion that shook the heavens and the earth. A powerful gust of air erupted, and the scattered meteorite fragments formed an even more magnificent meteor volcano.

The meteorite that Gigra brought down was much larger than Fujitora's. Zephyr, whose stamina was severely depleted, could not shatter such a large meteorite with a single blow. He had to throw several more punches before he could finally finish off the meteorite.

Zefa dragged his weary body back to the ground, looked up at Gigg, and said with a helpless expression,

"Gig, you've really given your teacher a very special gift!"

Giger smiled, and the demon sword Muramasa flew out from the back of his hand, circling around him. Seeing this, Zephyr waved his hand and said...

"That's enough. Your strength is more than enough to put your teacher at ease!"

Upon hearing this, Gig and Akainu were alright, but Kizaru immediately plopped down on the ground, wanting nothing more than to find a bed and get a good night's sleep.

In the past, Zephyr would have given Kizaru a good scolding upon seeing him like this, but now he chuckled and shook his head, saying...

"Borusalino, you..."

Kizaru braced himself with his hands on the ground, tilting his head back, and said...

"Alright, Professor Zephyr, I've already graduated, so please stop criticizing me!"

Zefa dusted himself off and said,

"You're right, you've already graduated. Time really flies, I'm getting old too."

"Um, Professor Zephyr, I admit I often call you 'old man,' but I've never thought you're old!"

"You little brat! You actually called me an old man?!"

"..."

Kizaru then realized he had let something slip, and immediately shifted his position, hiding behind Giggs and Akainu.

Gigg greeted the bear, who immediately teleported over and flicked a pain bubble at each of them.

Kizaru stood up from the ground with a blissful expression, wiggled his butt, and let out a comfortable groan. Zephyr finally couldn't hold back any longer, went up and kicked him in the butt, laughing and cursing.

"Never serious!"

Kizaru jumped back, clutching his butt. Zephyr ignored him, gave Giger and the other two a deep look, and said...

"Alright, teacher, I've completed my final mission. The future of the Navy rests on your shoulders!"

Chapter 93 General Candidate, Code Name: Black Dragon!

After the battle, amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, Zephyr and the three others behind him returned to the high platform.

The way the generals looked at Jig and his two companions had changed. Even though they were younger than everyone else present, from this day forward, no one would treat them as juniors anymore.

It's safe to say that anyone who watched today's battle had the same thought: Giger and his two companions are already a foregone conclusion that they will become the three future generals.

In their view, the battle just now should be considered a draw, but how old are Giggs and the other two? It seems that the position of Admiral has been prepared for them.

Soldiers have already delivered three brand-new naval cloaks, which are clearly for Gigg and his two companions.

The shoulder insignia, in black, yellow, and red, clearly display the rank of lieutenant general!

After putting on the protective gear, the three of them, at Marshal Kong's signal, stood at the very front of the platform.

Looking down at the crowd below, Kong announced loudly,

"Based on the outstanding performance of Giger and the other two in the assessment, the headquarters has decided to award them the rank of lieutenant general!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an excited shout erupted from below. Whether in the pirates or the navy, strength is paramount, and the strength of Gigg and his two companions had already won over everyone present.

The dazzling flashes, the boiling lava, and the endless darkness—every image left a deep imprint on the hearts of these people.

Of course, Giger's performance was the most outstanding.

During the battle, Gigg demonstrated his physical skills, swordsmanship, Haki, and Devil Fruit abilities, each of which was at a level that left everyone present in awe. This eighteen-year-old Marine had no weaknesses whatsoever!

The naval high command was well aware of this, so after the crowd below gradually quieted down, they dropped another bombshell.

"Of the three, I believe everyone has witnessed Giger's strength, so I have listed him as a candidate for general, and this is hereby announced!"

Kong spoke with conviction, and this time, the room was unusually quiet compared to before.

Giger himself did not expect to be promoted so quickly; the headquarters directly gave him the status of a candidate for general.

Although a candidate for general is not a formal military rank, the prestige of a lieutenant general holding this title is unmatched by any other lieutenant general.

Moreover, Giger is currently the only Admiral candidate in the Navy, and even Momousagi and Chaton, who seem to have been pushed into the position, cannot compare to him.

Kong suddenly turned to Giger and asked,

"Gig, it was a decision just made by headquarters to list you as a candidate for general. Although you are not a general yet, you should have a code name. Think about it carefully when you get back."

However, after only a moment's thought, Giger came up with his code name.
