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

"Joey Boy's tricks don't work sometimes..."

Yim shook his head, then looked down at Jiger again. Seeing Jiger's strange expression, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he said,

"Gig Saint, what are you thinking about?"

Jiger came to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure. There was nothing he could do. The fleeting royal sister voice of Im just now really surprised him.

However, facing Im's question at this time, he couldn't just say, "I think your smile just now was very unique."

He coughed lightly and said solemnly,

"Of course I'm thinking about Joey Boy, I'm wondering what he's going to do next."

Yimu narrowed his eyes slightly and said,

"Have you thought about it?"

"It's just speculation at the moment. I speculate that Joyboy wants to drive Zou to sink the Red Earth Continent."

After hearing this, Yim was silent for a moment and said,

"It is indeed very likely that he will do so. Do you have any plans for this matter?"

The golden epaulettes on Jiger's shoulders sparkled. He raised one hand and tugged at the collar of his navy coat, then spoke:

"At present, Joyboy has used some means to hide his whereabouts. If we cannot crack his means, we can only wait until he approaches us before fighting him. So I plan to transfer most of Marinford's troops to the Red Earth Continent, let the warships surround this place, and wait for Joyboy to appear."

Yim nodded slightly and said,

"Okay, I believe in your control over the navy, but what if Joyboy chooses to attack Marinford instead of the Red Earth Continent?"

"That's fine. I can rush to Marinford or the Red Earth Continent at any time. As for why we deploy troops near the Red Earth Continent, it's because in my opinion, the Navy Headquarters on Marinford can be relocated at any time, but Marijoa on the Red Earth Continent cannot. This is a holy place for us Celestial Dragons. If it suffers a devastating impact, it would be like stepping our Celestial Dragons' faces into the seabed. I will never allow this to happen."

Yimu listened to Jiger's words quietly, and a faint smile appeared on her face shrouded in shadows. She said,

"Well said. Always remember that we are the Celestial Dragons, the gods who rule this world. The majesty of God cannot be violated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the throne of the sky under Im suddenly burst into a light as bright as a diamond, and the entire hall suddenly became as bright as day.

And Im, who was sitting on the throne, was like a dazzling sun, bursting out with incomparably powerful energy.

In this terrifying wave of energy, Ziger stood still, with only the rustling of his navy cloak.

After everything calmed down, Im slowly stood up from the Sky Throne. The sunlight shining down from the dome made Im's figure look even more slender.

But in Jiger's opinion, there was always an indescribable feeling of tiredness about Im.

Yim slowly raised one hand and said,

"Gig Saint, come up some."

Jiger was stunned for a moment and did not move for a while.

Seeing this, Yim continued,

"What's wrong? What are you hesitating about? Didn't you want to come up last time? The steps in front of you have not been stepped on by anyone for eight hundred years. Don't you want to give it a try? This is the feeling of climbing to the pinnacle of power step by step."

There was a strong incitement in Yimu's voice. Jiger frowned slightly, raised his foot and took the first step, followed by the second step, the third step...

Yim just watched quietly as Jig climbed up the stairs step by step. The entire plateau can be divided into three sections from the ground. It was not until Jig came to the open space in front of the last section of stairs that she spoke like she did last time.

"Okay, don't come any closer."

As she spoke, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of Jiger, completely blocking the way up.

Jiger raised his eyebrows, this really looked like the ability of the Barrier Fruit.

He raised one hand and pressed it on the transparent barrier in front of him. Black gas rose from his hand, and the black gas tore at the barrier in a vortex.

Im had no intention of stopping it and remained silent in front of the Throne of the Sky.

After a while, the black air on Jiger's hand dissipated, he withdrew his hand and shook it, and circles of transparent ripples appeared on the barrier, and then it returned to normal.

Seeing this, Jiger narrowed his eyes, clenched his fist, and the Armament Haki and Domineering Haki intertwined on his fist, bursting with dense red and black lightning.

He threw out a punch with a terrifying force that was enough to shatter a small mountain. It suddenly landed on the barrier that looked as fragile as glass, causing a loud roar. The entire hall was shaken by the aftermath of the punch.

Outside the hall, the Five Elders who were still kneeling on the ground were startled when they heard the noise, and all looked up at the gate. Wochuli subconsciously stood up from the ground, with a black flame cloud emerging from his body, and it looked like he was about to rush into the hall.

This time it was Nasujuro Seiji who reacted first. A large amount of cold air emanated from his hands pressed on the ground, condensing into a thick layer of solid ice that imprisoned Vouchuri, who was about to take action.

The biting cold from his feet calmed down Vouchuri instantly. He did not intend to break free, but turned to look at Nasujuro Sei.

Nasu Shoulang Sheng remained kneeling and said in a deep voice,

"Kneel down! No one needs to step into that door before Lord Im speaks!"

In fact, except for the impatient Vouchuri, the other three Satans had no intention of getting up. Vouchuri's face looked a little ugly. He shook his feet, shattering the ice, and then immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said,

"I'm just worried about Master Im..."

Nasujuro Sei didn't give Wokuri any face and interrupted him directly.

"Don't say such stupid things. No one can hurt Lord Im Saint, not to mention that the one who went in is Saint Jiger. Do you suspect that he is going to attack Lord Im Saint?"

Saint Satan glanced at Saint Nasu Shoulang beside him and echoed,

"Saint Nasujuro is right, Saint Wokuri, you are too impatient."

Being accused to his face by the two men, Vochuli was extremely angry, but he did not dare to lose his temper here. He could only grit his teeth and hold it in until his face turned purple.

In the main hall,

Several white cracks had appeared on the barrier in front of Jiger. Seeing this, Yimu was not indifferent and said with approval,

"Very good. Your strength is much stronger than I expected. It is even comparable to Saint Casillas back then."
