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

After arranging matters with the Five Elders, Jiger returned to the Fegalando family.

Garin had been waiting for Jiger to come back. As soon as the uncle and nephew met, Jiger immediately told Garin what happened during his meeting with Im.

Even the usually calm Garin was shocked when he heard those explosive news.

"Is that guy Vochuli really dead?"

"Yes, he died in a horrible way. All that was left was a pile of bones. He should have been sent back to the Topman family by now."

"This old man, I didn't expect him to die so... hastily, the world is really unpredictable."

Jialin shook his head in surprise and continued to ask,

"Im Saint, do you want me to replace Vochuli?"

"Well, I think in Mary Joaquim, the only one who is qualified to be one of the Five Elders is you, Uncle Garin. The position of the God of Law is really suitable for you. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to be one. No one can force our Figalando family to do it."

"Before Joey Boy is completely killed, it would definitely be a good thing for the family to occupy a place in the Five Elder Stars. I can't think of any reason to refuse."

"I thought so too. Uncle Jialin, do you agree? Then you can now rule Pangu City as one of the Five Elders."

Jialin waved his hand and said,

"No hurry, I have something to announce before I take office as one of the Five Elders."

Jiger was stunned for a moment and asked curiously,

"what's up?"

Jialin raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Jiger in front of him with a smile.

Jiger felt a little uneasy when being stared at. He blinked and asked,

"Uncle Jialin, does what you said have anything to do with me?"

"Otherwise, I have decided to give you the position of Patriarch of the Figalando Family and the leader of the Knights of God."

"Ah? Isn't this a bit too sudden?"

"Suddenly? Didn't I, your uncle, suddenly become one of the Five Elders? And I've already said that these two positions will be yours sooner or later. Don't tell me you're not mentally prepared at all."

"Well, it's not that we are not prepared at all, but Shanks hasn't returned to the family yet, so we have to let him know about this first, right?"

"No, it's too late now. Besides, you just mentioned the cleansing of Marijoa. I think this is a good idea. The environment in Marijoa should be cleansed. Most of the people here are no longer worthy of being called Celestial Dragons. Now that you have taken over as the leader of the Knights of God, you can more legitimately enforce the law against those people who have grown too fat."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiger's response, Garin raised his hand and took off a golden medal pinned on his chest, and then put the medal on Jiger's chest with his own hands.

This medal is the symbol of the leader of the Knights of God.

Jiger looked down at the medal on his chest and said,

"Uncle Jialin, doesn't the handover of the leader of the Knights of God need to go through Yim?"

Jialin chuckled and said,

"It is no longer necessary. In Marijoa, no one except the members of my Figalando family is qualified to wear this medal, unless he wants to bring disgrace upon himself."

As Jialin spoke, he straightened Jiger's shirt.

"All members of the Knights of God have long been prepared to welcome you as the new leader. From today on, they will be your subordinates."

In this way, Jiger now truly holds the power of life and death over the entire Marijoa. From the Five Elder Stars to ordinary celestial dragons, he can imprison or kill anyone he wants.

After Im closed the flower room, now Marijoa and Jigena can really do whatever they want.

Thinking of this, Jiger suddenly asked,

"By the way, Uncle Jialin, have you been to Xia Lulia Palace recently?"

Jialin was stunned for a moment. He looked up at the golden clock hanging on the wall and said,

"She comes here almost every day, and sometimes she stays here. Well, she lives in your bedroom. Judging from the time, she should be here soon."

Jiger's mouth twitched when he heard this, and said,

"Well, I think she treats this place as her home."

Jialin crossed his arms, looked at Jiger with a half-smile, and said,

"What's wrong? I think this girl Xia Lulia Gong is pretty good. You've met her quite a few times. How do you feel about her now?"

"I think she's a bit stupid, but I didn't expect that she could get along well with Monet and the others despite her big lady personality. I'm impressed."

"So you agree to marry her?"

"...To be honest with you, Uncle Jialin, I can make Xia Lulia my wife, but not my first wife."

Jialin had anticipated Jiger's attitude and said,

"So you still want to insist on having Lucia be your first wife, right?"

Jiger nodded and said firmly,

"That's right, she can only be the first wife!"

After hearing this, Jialin nodded slightly and said,

"Okay, that's settled then."

Garin's straightforward answer made it impossible for Jiger to do it.

"Eh?"

"Nothing to be surprised about, Jiger. You are stronger than me, your uncle. There is nothing that can restrain you in this Marijoa. Just do what you want!"

When Jialin said this, his face was full of relief. The nephew in front of him, who once needed his careful protection, has now truly grown into a towering tree that even he, his uncle, has to look up to.

The Figalando family, which had been standing still in Marijoa for eight hundred years, has moved up a level thanks to Giger and is even expected to reach the true peak.

Having such a brilliant nephew like Jiger, Jialin feels that his life has no regrets.

And now, as an uncle, he has given all he can, so as for the clan rules, to hell with them.

Jialin patted Jiger's shoulder heavily and said softly,

"Alright Jiger, I have to go to Pangu City to meet my four new colleagues. When I come back, I will gather the family and officially pass the position of head of the family to you."

Jiger raised his hand and held Jialin's hand, saying,

"Uncle Jialin, I won't let you down. Joey Boy will definitely die in my hands!"

Jialin looked into Jiger's eyes and spoke slowly,

"I believe you, but there is one thing you have to remember. The prerequisite for victory is that you have to stay alive. I would rather Joey Boy escape with serious injuries again than see anything happen to you."

“Don’t worry, Uncle Jialin. My Dark Dark Fruit is no longer the same as that of my ancestors. I will never repeat the mistakes that my ancestors made!”
