One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

Karp raised his fist and shook it, saying,

"Boy, has it been too long since you last tasted my iron fist of love?"

Long broke free from the wall and wanted to continue holding on, but when he looked up at Garp, he saw a hint of tension on Garp's face.

After a pause, Long swallowed back what he wanted to say, sighed lightly, and his face returned to calmness again.

He said softly,

"I'm sorry, father. I had a nightmare and my mind is a little confused. You don't have to take what I just said seriously."

Garp heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He stepped forward and patted Long on the shoulder, saying,

"I know you've been hit hard, but you're still young, and it's not impossible for you to catch up with Jiger in the future."

"But Jiger seems to be younger than me."

"Uh, ahem! Jiger's situation is special. He experienced a battle with the Whitebeard Pirates when he was a student, and he spent another year at sea after graduation. It makes sense that his strength improved quickly!"

"Okay, father, don't mention him anymore. There's nothing wrong with my body. Let's go back."

"Well, you are worthy of being my son. You have a strong body. By the way, I have good news for you. You have passed the assessment. This department has decided to award you the rank of major general! Haha, you are almost catching up with me!"

Long responded indifferently. He had no interest in the rank of major general.

Garp also noticed this, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong because he himself didn't care much about military rank. As Long was his son, it was normal for him to do this!

......

On the other side, Jiger had returned to the office. He first called the headquarters hospital and "expressed concern" about Long's condition.

After learning about Long's performance, he hung up the phone with great satisfaction, a playful smile on his face.

After thinking for a moment, Jiger dialed the Den Den Mushi again, and this time he called Garin.

After a burst of "Blu" sounds, Garin's voice rang out from the Den Den Mushi.

"Jig, what happened again?"

Jiger's face flashed with embarrassment, and he said,

"Uncle Jialin, look at what you said, can't I just call you if nothing happens?"

Den Den Mushi imitated Garin's sneer and said,

"Don't try to play tricks on me, kid. Just tell me what you want to say. People in our family don't beat around the bush!"

"Okay, okay, it's like this, Uncle Jialin, it should be time to collect this year's Heavenly Gold, right?"

"Well, there's still a month left. What's up? Have you taken a fancy to something? I'll have my subordinates keep an eye out for it when they collect it."

"No, I don't have any favorites for now, but there is a very interesting guy among the new graduates this year, and I want him to participate in the work of the Heavenly Golden Guard this time."

The annual collection of sky gold is of utmost importance, and it requires not only the participation of CP9, but also the participation of the navy.

It’s just that the navy seems to be a bit perfunctory every time, otherwise they wouldn’t be kidnapped so easily by Shanks with the Rubber Fruit later.

Jialin asked curiously,

"Oh? Are you talking about the one called Aramaki?"

"No, his name is Monkey D. Dragon, and he's Garp's son."

Hearing Garp, Den Den Mushi immediately narrowed his eyes at Garin and said in a cold voice,

"Is it him? Garp is not on the same page with the World Government. His son must not be any better, right?"

"It seems that Uncle Jialin knows everything."

"Well, of course. If it weren't for the fact that this guy is indeed a good fighter and has close ties with some high-ranking members of the Navy, he would have been eliminated long ago based on his actions and remarks! The D in his name is really an eyesore..."

"Haha, that's why I want Garp's son Dragon to escort Tenjo Jin. Over the years, Garp has relied on his position in the navy to avoid the mission of escorting Tenjo Jin every time, but his son is not qualified. We can take this opportunity to teach Garp a lesson and see his son's attitude."

"Okay, I'll have the World Government issue a document here. By the way, you just said that this Long just graduated. What is his current rank?"

"Major General."

"Oh, it seems that he has great talent, but we still need to arrange for a reliable person to go with him. Tianshangjin is still very important."

"Uncle Jialin, you don't have to worry about this. I will personally lead the escort team. Is that reliable enough?"

"You are quite diligent."

"Look at what you said. Tianshangjin is our property. Of course I have to pay attention to it."

"Well, I feel relieved if you have this attitude."

After hanging up the phone, Jiger raised his hand and took the wine glass on the cupboard, then took out the red wine from the drawer and poured it in. Looking at the red liquid shaking in the glass, Jiger recalled today's assessment, and the smile on his face became more evil.

The vampire fruit has the ability to put a person into a deep sleep, and the way it is activated is by piercing the skin with his fangs.

If an ordinary person is hit by this move, he will remain in a deep sleep and will never wake up until he dies unless Jiger takes the initiative to remove it.

Moreover, Ziger can not only make people fall asleep, but also manipulate dreams after falling asleep. For example, the dream he implanted into Long made Long deeply experience the dark side of this world. As for the source of darkness, it is naturally the World Government.

Of course, if it was just a dream, it wouldn't cause Long to react so strongly after waking up. The reason the effect was so good was because Long already had a subconscious hatred for the World Government, and Ziger simply magnified it through the dream.

He had beaten Long three times, and each time he had struck a blow to Long's faith. Coupled with this dream, it was very likely that Long was completely disappointed with the navy.

However, this level is not enough. What Jiger wants is not that Long quit the navy through formal procedures, but that he defect.

In this case, Jiger will have to execute justice as a matter of course.

Thinking of this, a strange red light flashed across Jiger's eyes. He drank the red wine in the glass and said softly,

"Long, can you still hold back this time?"

Within a week, the World Government's document was sent to the Navy Headquarters, and Kong convened a high-level meeting immediately after receiving the document.

When Sora announced that Long would be involved in the Sky Gold escort mission, Garp, who had been laughing, suddenly stood up and said angrily,

"What? Long just graduated! Why did the World Government assign him to be an escort?!"

It can be seen that Garp is really anxious this time. What he can't stand the most are the Celestial Dragons. Now he wants his son to collect money for the Celestial Dragons, which he really can't accept.

Moreover, a few days ago, Long expressed his disappointment with the navy. Garp really couldn't bear to think that if Long saw what the Celestial Dragons did again, how could he, as a father, have the confidence to persuade him to stay in the navy.
