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

"Do not!!!"

Olbia ran out like a madwoman, and when she reached the edge of the deck, she was about to fall off. Giger raised his hand and released the Universal Pull, pulling Olbia back. Her back was pressed tightly against Giger's palm.

Even so, Olbia still struggled to run away, shouting,

"Let me go! I want to bring him back!"

Giger frowned, grabbed Olbia and pulled her to face him. However, he was much taller than Olbia, so all Olbia could see when she turned around was Giger's chest.

He grabbed Olbia's chin, making her look up at him. When she saw Giger's eyes, which were like black holes, Olbia was stunned and became quiet for a moment.

Jiger said lightly,

"The deceased are not worth your suffering. I advise you to cherish the people in front of you more."

After saying that, Giger gave Olbia a shove, and Olbia stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Giger looked around, and everyone whose gaze fell upon him instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

Even though Giger didn't do anything intentionally, the oppressive aura emanating from him was still too strong for these scholars.

Giger glanced around and muttered to himself,

"Including Olbia, there are thirty-three people in total. Hmm, that's all."

These words sounded like a judge calling her name to everyone's ears. Olbia, forgetting her grief, forcefully wiped away her tears and said nervously,

"General Black Dragon, I was out of line just now. I haven't had a chance to ask you yet. Did you come here specifically to see us?"

Giger nodded, and Olbia's heart sank, though she made a final, desperate attempt to explain.

"General Black Dragon, we're just out on an inspection tour. As for the historical text you just heard, I think you probably heard..."

"Are you trying to say I misheard?"

Giger smiled slightly, a playful look returning to his face. He strolled over to Olbia, hands in his pockets, and leaned down to whisper in her ear,

"Olvia, what kind of matter do you think would warrant the personal intervention of a Navy Admiral?"

Gigg's voice was like a demon's whisper, and Olbia's body trembled involuntarily. She clenched her fists tightly, then suddenly raised her head and shouted,

"This was my own idea! It has nothing to do with them or O'Hara! Arrest me!"

She knew perfectly well how great a sin her actions were in the eyes of the World Government, and that if she were implicated, the entire Ohara would be destroyed as a result.

Even without Giger's reminder, from the moment she confirmed Giger's identity, she felt that what she had done had definitely been exposed.

But until the very last moment, people still have a sliver of hope. She had wanted to argue a little more, but Jig's words had already laid everything bare.

Therefore, she had no choice but to take the initiative to confess and take all the blame upon herself.

As for escaping... for this group of people to escape under the nose of a naval admiral is more difficult than finding all the Poneglyphs.

If you anger Giger again, it will be tantamount to suicide.

The other scholars had complicated expressions after hearing this. Some couldn't bear to let Eurya, a woman, bear the blame and stepped forward to share the responsibility.

However, before they could speak, Giger changed the subject, feigning confusion, and said,

"What idea? What terrible thing have you done that requires me, a naval admiral, to come all the way here to arrest you?"

Olbia was stunned, and asked hesitantly,

"Not history..."

She had only said a little when she suddenly came to her senses and immediately shut her mouth. Giger laughed.

“Isn’t studying history the job of you scholars? I’m not interested in history. I just heard you muttering something and asked out of curiosity. But you all seem a bit nervous. Did you do something wrong?”

Someone realized what was happening and hurriedly shouted,

"No, no, no! We're just meeting a Marine Admiral for the first time, that's why we're so nervous. Admiral Black Dragon, please don't overthink it!"

Olbia quickly echoed,

"Yes, we were definitely too nervous!"

Giger nodded, and said thoughtfully,

"Oh, it seems I was overthinking it..."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Giger's next words made their hearts leap into their throats again. Giger, with a bright smile on his face, said...

"Don't tell me you've really done something bad, or I'll be really angry."

Chapter 120 The Terrifying Gig

Gigg's words, clearly carrying a warning, sent a chill down everyone's spine. He squinted and scanned the room, then suddenly laughed.

"Oh dear, I think I startled you. I'm so sorry."

Giger chuckled a few times, then frowned when he noticed that everyone still looked terrified.

Upon noticing the change in Giger's expression, Olbia's pupils contracted, and she immediately led the laughter, saying,

"Having a naval admiral by your side really makes you feel safe, don't you think?"

The others weren't fools either. With Olbia leading the way, they all gave awkward smiles and echoed Olbia's sentiments.

Giger's furrowed brows relaxed, and Olbia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly approached Giger and respectfully said,

"General Black Dragon, you still haven't said why you've called us here."

Jiger waved his hand and said,

“It’s nothing urgent. I heard you’re going to Alabasta for an inspection, right? I can go with you. We can talk about my business after you’re done with your inspection.”

Olbia dared not let Gig follow, and she quickly replied.

"No need, it's just a simple inspection. How can it be compared to the matter of General Black Dragon? If you need our help, just let us know!"

Seeing that Olbia was so cooperative, a smile appeared on Giger's face, and he said,

“I don’t need so many people, just you are enough. Here’s the thing: I’ve found a ruin and I need someone who understands ancient Chinese to help me decipher the text in it.”

The mention of ruins immediately lit up Olbia's eyes. For her, archaeology wasn't just a job, but an addictive hobby. She couldn't help but ask...

"Didn't General Black Dragon just say he wasn't interested in history? Why did he suddenly decide to find someone to decipher ancient texts?"

Giger crossed his arms and said with a half-smile,

"Olbia, your thirst for knowledge is a bit too strong; it's easy to make mistakes that way."

Olbia's expression froze. Jig's words seemed to be pointing at her, which made her, who was already feeling guilty, even more uneasy.

Seeing Olvia startled by him again, Giger found it amusing. He thought to himself that Aokiji liked to scare little Robin, but now he was ahead of him, directly scaring Robin's mother.

With a slightly wicked sense of humor, Giger began,

"But it won't hurt to tell you. There's something I've got my eye on in that ruin, and I need to retrieve it intact."

This time, Olbia didn't dare to ask what it was anymore. She nodded vigorously and said,

"I see. I'd be happy to help you. Shall we set off now?"

"No rush. You can't just leave this whole ship full of people here. Tell them what you need to say first."

"Then I'll send them back to Ohara first!"

"Hmm? Aren't you here for an inspection? Just have them wait for you in Alabasta. I'll bring you back soon."

"Um okay."

Olbia turned around and said a few words to the others. In front of Giger, she was naturally very cautious in her words and actions, and what she said was nothing more than trivial things like "be careful".

After giving his instructions, Olbia said to Gige,

"Alright, General Black Dragon, we can leave now."

"Ah."

Giger nodded in agreement, and then...

call!

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, a pair of broad black wings unfurled from Giger's back. He grabbed the stunned Olbia and pulled her to his waist. With a flap of his wings, a powerful gust of air erupted, sending all the remaining scholars on the deck sprawling to the ground.

By the time they came to their senses, Giger had completely disappeared.

Someone murmured,

Are all naval admirals monsters...?

High in the sky, Giger led Olbia through the clouds and finally landed on his warship.

Giger was so fast that before Olbia could react, he was already standing on the deck of the warship, surrounded by naval soldiers who had gathered around him and were saluting him.

The soldiers in this unit are of the highest caliber. Although they may seem inconspicuous in some large-scale events, to ordinary people, each of these soldiers is a formidable warrior capable of taking on a hundred enemies.

Moreover, the warship to which Gig belonged was of the rank of admiral, and his guards were all handpicked. Their combined presence was nothing to Gig, but Olbia swallowed hard and involuntarily leaned closer to Gig.

Looking at Giger's young face, Olbia sighed inwardly. To possess such power at less than twenty years old, he truly deserved to be called a chosen one of heaven!

Lucia stood in front of a group of naval soldiers. After saluting, she glanced at Olvia next to Giger, and then slowly walked up to Giger.

Looking at Lucia's exquisite face, a look of amazement flashed in Olvia's eyes. When she saw the major general rank on Lucia's shoulder insignia, she almost blurted out, "..."
