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

In the next month, except for returning to the palace to rest at night, Jiger basically spent all his time in the practice room with Jialin.

During this time, Jiger had informed Ginny, who was at the Naval Academy, that he would be staying in Mary Joa for a few more days, so that she could rest assured.

What he didn't know was that the bear was already preparing to set out to find him that day. If he stayed there for one day, the bear would probably fly directly to Marijoa, and things would become a bit troublesome then.

A month later, Giger, whose hair had almost grown to his shoulders, walked out of the training room. In just one month, his temperament had changed dramatically.

There was a faint black aura surrounding him, giving people a feeling of mystery and majesty.

Lucia, who had been waiting outside the training room for a day, immediately stepped forward and put a black cloak on Jig, saying softly,

"You must be tired, young master. Let's go back and clean up."

Jiger smiled and was about to speak when Jialin came out of the training room. He put his hand on Jiger's shoulder and said softly,

"Jig, I am very satisfied with your performance today. It seems that you don't need me to teach you anymore. You can return to the navy."

Jiger was stunned for a moment. He had been so focused on cultivation during this period of time that he almost forgot that he had been here for a month.

Looking at Garin's slightly tired eyes, Jiger was deeply moved. During this period of time, Garin could be said to have been teaching him wholeheartedly, and he even devoted more energy than he did.

Jiger held down Jialin's hand on his shoulder and said,

"Thank you, Uncle Jialin."

A smile appeared on Jialin's lips. He waved his hand and said,

"Go back. There's no need to say thank you to each other. After all, you are my nephew."

After saying that, he took out a newspaper from his arms and unfolded it. Jiger took a puzzled look at it. Almost all the news on it was about Roger's pirate group.

After Rocks' death, Roger's reputation on the sea grew, and his affairs naturally became the focus of newspapers, such as which country he appeared in, or which pirate group he defeated.

What was published in this newspaper was that Roger caused a big disturbance in a country, and there was a photo of Roger's pirate group at the top.

From the photo, we can see that there are soldiers rolling their eyes everywhere, and Roger is stepping on an officer covered in blood, grinning, and behind him are a group of members of Roger's pirate group.

Lucia also saw this photo, and a look of disgust appeared on her face. She said hatefully,

"Damn pirates, they are just a bunch of scum!"

Jiger calmed down the agitated Lucia for a while, then turned to look at the silent Jialin and asked,

"Uncle Garin, what do you mean by showing me this? Are you asking me to be careful of Roger?"

Garin silently pointed to the edge of the photo, where there was a child wearing a straw hat. Because the child occupied too small a portion of the frame, Jiger had not noticed him just now.

But as soon as he saw it, he immediately recognized that the child wearing a straw hat was one of the Four Emperors in the future, Red-Haired Shanks.

At the same time, he also remembered the speculation about Red Hair’s origin on Blue Star. He might be Garin’s son!

And Garin's next words made Jiger even more certain of this guess.

"Since you have become a marine, you might run into Roger's pirate group someday. This pirate group is really strong, so you have to be careful then."

After giving Jiger a few words, Garin paused, then he looked at the photo of Shanks and said,

"Also, if you encounter this guy... leave him alive."

Jiger didn't ask anything. He nodded very straightforwardly and said,

"I understand, Uncle Jialin, don't worry."

Jialin raised his head, looked at Jiger deeply, and said slowly,

"Don't you want to know who he is?"

"I don't need to know this. I just know that he must be a very important person to Uncle Jialin. Haha, maybe he is similar to me?"

Jialin was stunned for a moment, then he nodded slightly and said,

"Yes, you two are equally important to me, and I don't want you to become enemies."

"Does that require me to find a chance to bring him back?"

"No, I once told you to choose your own path, and that applies to him as well."

At this point, Jialin's upright figure suddenly collapsed. He sighed heavily again, looked up at the gradually full moon in the sky, and whispered,

"But his path has gone in the opposite direction from yours and mine."

After saying that, Jialin left alone, leaving only one sentence,

"Tomorrow I will arrange a ship to take you back in the name of the World Government. Have a good rest tonight."

Jiger didn't say anything, but just watched Jialin's back gradually disappear into the night.

......

The next day, Jigu and Lucia boarded the boat arranged by Garin.

Jiger stood on the deck and looked up at the red earth continent. He could feel a pair of sharp eyes staring at him from the top.

Not until the Red Earth Continent completely disappeared from sight did Jiger turn back to the cabin and talk to Lucia about the Naval Academy, so that she could learn some information in advance so that she could adapt to life there more quickly.

On the training ground of the Naval Academy, Akainu was engaging in a fierce hand-to-hand fight with Kuma. The two did not use any abilities of their fruits, but instead fought passionately with a pair of fists covered in armament colors.

Akainu's body seemed a little small in front of Kuma, but from the confrontation between the two, Kuma was obviously suppressed by Akainu, and he was retreating step by step under Akainu's fierce attack like a volcanic eruption.

Kizaru was eating a banana on the side, watching with great interest. Stolobery, who had a very high forehead, squatted beside him and said,

"Borsalino, why don't you go up and spar with Sakaski? I think the bear can't hold on any longer."

Kizaru casually threw the banana peel into the air, and then another laser shot it into ashes. He stood up, stretched his butt, and said lazily,

"I won't go. It's rare that the old man is not here, so why not relax? What's the point of fighting?"

Stoloberry was also used to Kizaru's behavior. He shrugged and said,

"Come to think of it, I don't know what happened to Mr. Zefa today. He hasn't come here yet."

"Who knows? Come on Bear! I'm rooting for you!"

At this time, in Zefa's office,

Zefa was looking at a resume on the table with a serious look on his face. The photo on the resume was of a young girl with a beautiful face, but her expression looked a little cold.

Of course, he was not attracted by the photo, but by the information on the resume.

"Darkseid Lucia, the Animal-type Human-Human Fruit Mythical Beast Species, Fallen Angel Form."
