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

With the help of Monet and Hancock, Jiger changed into the black gold-embossed robe that he liked to wear most in the tribe, and then took Xia Lulia to the reception room.

Rozward had been waiting here for a while, but he didn't dare to go in and sit down. When Jiger arrived, he was still standing at the door of the hall.

Seeing Jiger, Rozward hurried forward, bent down, and called out "Saint Jiger" very respectfully.

Jiger reached out and helped Rozward up, which made Rozward feel flattered.

After all, Jiger’s identity is different now. In the past, Jiger’s official identity in the Holy Land was the young master of the Figalando family. This identity alone was extremely noble, not to mention that Jiger’s status is now directly above the Five Elder Stars!

Rozward was one of the few Celestial Dragons who knew the news, because Nasu Juro and the others knew that Rozward's daughter was very close to the Fegalando family and that there was a great possibility of marriage, so they sent someone to reveal the news to Rozward in advance.

So now in Rozward's heart, it can be said that Alexander is the only one, and he even ignores Xia Lulia who is following behind Jiger.

It was not until Xia Lulia called him "Father" that Rosward came to his senses and realized that his daughter was still beside him. He also knew that if it were not for his daughter, he would still be sitting at the door like those celestial dragons outside.

He didn't even have a chance to get anything out of it, after all, he had offended Jiger in the slave market before.

Thinking of this, Rozward wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Jiger raised his hand and pointed into the hall, smiling,

"Saint Rozwald, let's not stand here, let's go in and sit down first."

Rozward nodded quickly, then moved aside. He didn't dare to walk in front of Jiger.

The three of them entered the hall and sat down. Xia Lulia sat next to Jiger with a red face. Rozward, who was sitting opposite, was stunned when he saw this scene, and then a feeling of ecstasy surged in his heart.

Jiger looked up at Rozward and said with a smile,

"Saint Rozward, we are relatively familiar with each other now. You don't have to be so reserved next time you come here."

Rozward sat upright and said,

"Master Jiger......."

"You don't have to call me sir, just call me by my name."

Rozward swallowed his saliva and said,

"Given your status, it's only right for me to call you Sir. Those people outside don't even have a chance to see you."

Jiger slowly leaned back on the sofa and said,

"You are Xia Lulia's father, so you are naturally different from them."

The meaning of this sentence was very clear. Even if Rozward was stupid, he understood it. He suppressed his inner ecstasy and said,

"Master Jiger, thank you very much for your recognition of Xia Lulia! This is an honor for our Rozward family!"

Rozward's words and actions made Xia Lulia feel a little embarrassed, and she lowered her head silently.

Jiger noticed this scene, the smile on his face gradually faded, his tone became colder, and he said,

"Saint Rozward, if you continue to be so polite, then this conversation tonight can end here."

Rozward was immediately shocked when he heard this, and said quickly,

"I'm so sorry, Jig Saint... Jig Saint!"

Speaking of which, Rozward is Jiger's future father-in-law, but Jiger has lost interest in talking to him and said directly,

"Saint Rozward, I want to make a marriage contract with Palace Xialulia. You are her father, so I want to ask for your attitude."

Rozward said without thinking,

"Agree! I agree to this marriage! Thank you very much..."

"Ok?"

At Jiger's look, Rozward immediately shut his mouth, smiled awkwardly, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

A happy smile appeared on Xia Lulia's face. She mustered up the courage to hug Jiger's arm and leaned her forehead on it.

Jiger patted Xia Lulia's thigh gently with his hand and glanced at Rozward across from him.

Originally, Jiger wanted to say something about the fact that Xia Lulia would not be the principal wife, but he really did not have any good feelings towards Rozward and did not want to say anything more to Rozward.

There was no point in telling him about Rozward's performance.

Jiger said calmly,

"Well, it's getting late now. Uncle Garin should be back soon. Saint Rozward, if you have nothing to say, please step aside for now. My Fegalando family has important matters to deal with tonight."

Jiger's order was like an order to leave. Rozward had no courage to stay any longer. He immediately stood up, bowed, and said,

"Okay, okay, I'll leave now, you go do your thing first!"

Jiger nodded, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and immediately two golden-armored guards came in and took Rozward out.

After Rozward left, Xia Lulia bit her lip and whispered,

"I'm sorry, Master Jiger, my father has made you unhappy..."

Jiger was stunned. Looking at Xia Lulia who lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, he shook his head and laughed.

"What do you have to apologize for? I just saw that you were a little uncomfortable. You probably don't want your father to stay here, right?"

Xia Lulia nodded, then leaned gently into Jiger's arms and said softly,

"Master Jiger, my father is just a coward, please don't blame him."

Jiger patted Xia Lulia's back and said,

"Then do you know that your father had some unpleasantness with me in the past?"

"Yes, I know. It was because of Monet and Satang. Father offended you and said something very bad."

"Did he tell you?"

"Yes, I was too young at the time, but I remember he couldn't eat much for several days because of this."

At this point, Xia Lulia rubbed her face in Jiger's arms and said,

"Master Jiger, do you still remember the incident on Sabaody Island? I was really scared to death at that time. Fortunately, you arrived at that time and not only saved my daughter and I, but also executed the pirate who killed my brother! That was also the first time I met you. It was because of that incident that I..."

Xia Lulia was stuck in her words. Jiger looked down at Xia Lulia's little head and asked with a smile,

"what happened to you?"

Xia Lulia twisted her body, then supported Jiger's chest with her hands and slowly straightened up.

At this moment, her face was like a boiling kettle, red and steaming.

She gradually used her hands to grasp the front of Ji Ge's shirt and said loudly,

"I wanted to be your wife then!"
