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

He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then sighed helplessly. It turned out that this was her fault.

But when you think about it, this sister of mine is indeed very talented. Few girls, or even boys of her age, can defeat her. Only Kake can be her rival.

It's just that Kake could never satisfy Gion in fighting. Given how obsessed he was with Gion, he would give in before he even started. No wonder Gion had always looked down on him. His countless failed confessions were not just because of his appearance.

Gion, who is competitive by nature, would inevitably feel bored if she stayed in her comfort zone for too long, so she couldn't help but come here after hearing that a group of students whose strength was "not inferior to" those of the headquarters had appeared.

Then he ran into Jiger, who had just returned from a mission. He was the strongest of this session, and he shattered the pride of Gion...

Thinking of this, He rubbed his swollen forehead and softened his tone.

"Then what's going on between you and Ginny? It was just a competition, how did it get to this point?"

"Hmm... maybe what I said before irritated her. She has a strong temper and she actually grabbed my knife with her hand..."

Gion paused for a moment before continuing,

"I was careless and got hit by her, so I hit her a little harder. Fortunately, Jiger arrived in time, otherwise..."

"Otherwise it will be a disaster!"

Tsuru pinched Gion's little mouth, and while he was feeling relieved, he couldn't help but think that if he was seriously injured, Garp and Sengoku would probably lose their minds like Jiger.

After being shaken away by Crane's Armament Haki, Jiger retreated directly to Ginny's side, his body swaying slightly. Seeing this, Ginny hurriedly supported Jiger from behind and said anxiously,

"Brother Ji Ge, are you okay? That's enough. I just hurt my hand a little, it's nothing serious!"

Jiger patted Ginny's cold little hand and said softly,

"I'm fine, don't worry."

After saying this, he looked up at the crane in the distance and said in a deep voice,

"I still underestimated Crane. He has cultivated his Armament Haki to this level. He is indeed a member of the same class as Sengoku and the others."

After several months of training and this actual combat at sea, Jiger has become very proficient in the use of armament color, and its strength is not low, but he still can't release it to the point of being as external as He just did.

This was also the first time he personally experienced the strength of the external release of Armament Haki. The power was indeed extraordinary, and Crane obviously had not used his full strength yet.

Tsuru has fought in the Rocks Pirates together with top navy fighters such as Garp and Sengoku. She is undoubtedly the strongest among the female navy.

What's more, He is not as old and frail as she appeared in the anime. She is at her peak. Jiger speculates that her strength is definitely close to that of an admiral.

Suffering such a loss at the hands of He was completely acceptable to Jiger. He still had a long way to go before reaching the top level of combat power. After all, at most, he was only 16 years old.

"Ok?"

While thinking about something, Jig suddenly felt a stream of hot air spraying on his hand. He looked down and found that Ginny was holding his hand that had just been clasped with the crane, pouting and blowing small puffs of air on it.

Jiger asked with a puzzled look.

"Ginny, what are you doing?"

Ginny answered while blowing air.

"Brother Jige, your hands are a little red. It must be because of the shock from Vice Admiral Tsuru. Let me blow on them for you to relax!"

"Idiot, I'm not that fragile. Your hand is much redder than mine!"

Ginny chuckled and raised her injured hand to show off. She had a very good physique and the wound had scabbed over in a short while.

Seeing Ginny smiling, Jig's anger instantly disappeared. He pinched Ginny's pretty face and said earnestly,

"Don't be stubborn when I'm not around. Wait until I come back to discuss everything. Got it?"

"Ah? Then wouldn't it be better if you stayed by my side all the time, Brother Jiger?"

"..."

Jiger held his forehead with one hand, and was about to teach the "stubborn" Ginny a lesson, but when he saw Ginny's big watery eyes, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

In Blue Star's words, Ginny is a hopeless love-brained person. Zigg once laughed at such girls and even thought that such girls could not exist.

But when he really met her, and the object of her love-brain was himself, he realized how terrifying the lethality of this kind of girl was.

At least he couldn't resist it.

Gently stroking Ginny's soft pink short hair, Jig didn't know what to say and just said "Okay" softly.

Ginny hugged Jig's waist tightly, with a bright smile on her face.

He led Gion over like a parent. She quietly observed Jiger and Ginny for a while. If Gion hadn't been tickling her palm to urge her, she might have waited until the two of them finished talking.

After turning his head to glare at Gion who was acting weird, Tsuru looked at Jiger and said,

"Jig, I already know what happened. It was indeed Gion who provoked first, and she didn't use any severity. I apologize to you and Ginny on her behalf."

After saying that, He actually lowered her head towards Jiger. Considering her identity and status, this was indeed a very rare thing to do.

Tsuru is such a gentle and sensible person, otherwise two straight men like Garp and Sengoku would not care so much about him.

Gion saw Tsuru's actions, and felt guilty, so he bowed his head and apologized. Ginny was immediately flattered, and she bowed 90 degrees, saying repeatedly,

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm also to blame for this. I'm too serious!"

Seeing the performance of these three people, Jige had nothing to say, but he still ignored Gion and just said to He,

"Lieutenant General He, I was rude just now. You don't have to apologize. This has nothing to do with you."

He waved his hands and was about to speak when a puffing sound suddenly came from the air.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw Zefa rushing towards them using the Moon Steps, with a flashing light behind him.

Zefa shouted as he pedaled.

"Gig! Stop it now! I shouldn't have let you come back early... Borsalino, what are you dawdling about in the back?!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Jig, and Ginny couldn't help but ask,

"Speaking of which, Brother Jige, how did you get back?"

Jiger pointed at Zefa in the sky and said casually,

"That's what Mr. Zefa did. The warship was too slow, so I used the Moon Step to run back in advance."
