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

Betty stared at Jig in her mother's arms and murmured,

"Mom, do gods really exist in this world?"

Under normal circumstances, her mother would definitely smile and say to her, silly child, there is no such thing as God in this world.

But now, her mother nodded subconsciously.

Not only her, but also the civilians on both sides of the street seemed to understand why those nobles were so respectful to Jiger. With this kind of power that can flatten a mountain with a raise of the head, it would probably only take a thought to destroy a country.

Aren’t the ones who possess this kind of power the legendary gods?

However, they were wrong. Before this, the nobles were only in awe of Jiger's identity, and they were also confused by the power he displayed.

Is this the power of the admirals, known as the navy's highest fighting force?

In front of such a person, even the most brave army would be just a joke.

Jiger looked down at Betty and smiled.

"I'm just a marine passing through."

Betty blinked and asked,

"Navy? If you become a navy, you won't be afraid of those fierce nobles, right?"

The navy soldiers behind him were ashamed by this question, thinking, little boy, the one standing in front of you is a navy admiral! We can't compare with him!

Giger responded:

"No, becoming a marine is just an opportunity for you. It depends on whether you can grasp it."

Betty nodded thoughtfully, and Jig turned and left, with the word "justice" floating in the wind. Betty looked at Jig's back and suddenly shouted,

"Big brother, you haven't told me your name yet!"

"Darkseid Zigg."

Betty repeated the name in her mind, then jumped out of her mother's arms. At this time, Jiger and his group had already left. She watched Jiger go away and said,

"I want to be a navy officer like Brother Jiger!"

Just after she finished speaking, she was hit on the head, and her mother said unhappily,

"Just calm down for now. Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"

Betty held her head in her hands and said with a wronged look on her face,

"I didn't mean to do that! Humph! I want to be a marine!"

"Okay, okay, mommy isn't stopping you, but there are no crybabies in the navy~"

Betty sniffed hard, then raised her little hand to wipe away her tears and said in a muffled voice,

"I know, but you can't hit me on the head again, mom. The navy certainly doesn't want idiots!"

......

Led by a group of princes and nobles, Jiger and others came to the palace.

The king first ordered people to bring up the prepared heavenly gold. After Spandine inspected it, he immediately ordered people to send the heavenly gold to the ship parked on the shore.

As for whether someone along the way would try to steal the gold from the sky, Spandine was not worried about it at all.

Are you kidding? Lord Jiger just flattened a mountain in front of so many people. Anyone who dares to have any evil thoughts will be courting death.

Next, there was the banquet that the king prepared specifically for receiving Jiger and his party.

At the banquet, the nobles tried their best to flatter Jiger, and the ladies looked at Jiger with eyes that were so charming that they could squeeze water out of them.

The king talked about how hard he tried to save up enough gold from heaven, but Jiger had no interest in any of this. He just occasionally chatted and laughed with Lucia and Ginny who were by his side.

Long suddenly asked,

"Your Majesty, I want to know, does paying so much Heavenly Gold have a big impact on the lives of you and these nobles?"

The king was stunned for a moment, thinking that the dragon was testing him to see if he was complaining about the amount of gold in the sky, so he said,

"It's not very big, and we are happy to pay the Heavenly Gold. After all, our Goa Kingdom is one of the member states!"

The dragon looked the king straight in the eye and said,

"But on the way here, I felt that the people of your country were not very wealthy. I wonder what His Majesty the King thinks of this?"

"Um, this..."

The king was choked for a moment and cursed in his heart: Where did this young fool come from? Isn't it natural for common people to live in poverty? If the gold from the sky doesn't come from them, why does it come from me?

Long sneered and wanted to continue asking questions, but Jiger suddenly put down his chopsticks and said lightly,

"Okay, Major General Long, you've talked too much today."

As soon as Jiger opened his mouth, Long immediately swallowed back what he was about to say. He lowered his head and said no more.

The king felt greatly relieved when he saw the young and inexperienced Long being humiliated. He had never had a very good impression of Garp and his son, because these two men were also his subjects, but they had never given him, the king, any face.

However, Garp, the vice admiral of the headquarters, has a much higher status than the king of his small country. He cannot afford to offend Long, the second generation. Usually, he can only curse a few words in his heart, but dare not conflict with these two people.

Now there is finally someone who can control these two people!

The king stood up from his chair, and it seemed that he wanted to pour wine for Jiger himself. However, before he could get close to Jiger, he was frightened by a look from Lucia who was beside Jiger, and he froze in place.

Lucia has already seen that Jiger doesn't like the king, so she won't let this guy get close to Jiger.

The king smiled awkwardly, then sat back in his seat with the bottle of wine in his hand.

By the way, his seat is at the lower right corner of the round table. Those who don’t know might think that he, as the king, is responsible for receiving the dishes.

After the banquet, Jiger did not choose to stay in the palace overnight. He returned to the ship in the afternoon. The king and the nobles sent Jiger to the port again.

It was definitely good news for this group of people that Jiger did not spend the night here, because they also realized that Jiger was not someone they could curry favor with.

Moreover, Jiger's move during the day was so scary that they were afraid of Jiger from the bottom of their hearts and wanted to send this great god away as soon as possible.

The ship carrying the heavenly gold slowly sailed away from the shore, and the king began to grin. However, at this moment, a minister hurried over with a Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"Your Majesty! There's news from the World Government!"

When the king heard this, he quickly picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed the number. The nobles also pricked up their ears and listened.

Spandain's sinister voice rang out.

"General Black Dragon just said that he is very satisfied with your Goa Kingdom..."

The king was overjoyed at the news. However, before he could be happy for long, Spandine's next words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"So he decided to exempt the common people of the Kingdom of Goa from paying taxes for three years. The royal family and nobles will have to bear the cost of paying the remaining three years' worth of heavenly gold. I see you're all quite wealthy, so this shouldn't be difficult for you, right? By the way, don't have any desire for the common people, or you won't be king anymore!"
