One Piece: Start in the Valley of Gods, and steal the Dark-Dark Fruit

On the way back, Jialin asked,

"Jig, how long do you plan to stay in Marijoa this time?

Jig thought for a moment and said,

"If Uncle Jialin has nothing else to do, I might leave tomorrow."

"You kid, you just want to leave after taking the things, right?"

"Um, Uncle Jialin, you’re not reluctant to let me go, are you?"

""Hard-shell!"

The sword on Garin's waist revealed a piece of the blade that was shining coldly. Jiger was not afraid at all. He put his hands behind his head and turned to Lucia and said,

"Lucia, you will come with me then."

Lucia's face showed surprise. She had been feeling uneasy when she heard Jiger say that he was leaving. Now she breathed a sigh of relief.

She nodded vigorously and said,

"As long as the young master is willing, Lucia will go wherever you go!"

Jig smiled slightly, ignoring Jialin's gradually darkening face, and said,

"Uncle Jialin, I have to ask you to ask the World Government to fabricate a legitimate identity for Lucia. I want her to enter the Naval Academy as well."

Jialin was almost laughing at Jiger's anger. He said unhappily,

"Are you training or enjoying yourself in the Naval Academy? Do you want me to help you arrange for her to live in the same dormitory with you?"

"That's not necessary. I don't live in a single dormitory. It's not convenient for Lucia to live with me."

Jia Lin's forehead showed a big cross. He turned his head away and said indifferently,

"I don't care about this matter. You figure it out yourself."

"Come on, Uncle Jialin, not many people in the World Government know me, so my words are not as effective as yours."

"Have you forgotten the guy named Spandine? I have promoted him to commander of CP9. You can just give him instructions for things like this."

"Haha, so that's why. It has to be Uncle Jialin. I use this guy very well."

Jialin stopped and glanced at Jiger. He said,

"Don't be happy too soon. It's okay if you want to go back, but you have to practice swordsmanship here first, or at least learn how to do it. Don't just chop around with Muramasa!"

Jiger had no objection to this. No matter what time, improving strength is the most important thing.

However, the swordsmanship in One Piece is nothing more than ordinary chopping in Jiger's view, highlighting the power of turning and flying.

When he returned to the family, it was already late, and Garin took Jiger directly to the restaurant to have dinner together.

In the middle of the restaurant was a huge rectangular dining table with several golden candlesticks on it, which looked very gorgeous.

Garin sat at the head of the dining table and picked up a newspaper prepared by the servant and started reading.

Jiger sat on his left, and Lucia went out to tell the servants to prepare the meal.

Looking at the empty restaurant, Jiger asked,

"Uncle Jialin, do you usually eat here alone?"

Jialin looked down at the newspaper and said,

"Well, don't worry. Ever since I became the leader of the Knights of God, Gulando has never eaten with me. He won't come."

"So where is he now? He must know I'm back."

"He stays in the science class all day, and I don't know what he is studying."

At this point, Jialin sighed and continued,

"Those are crooked ways after all. I haven't seen him go to the gym in these years."

"Heh, maybe he's practicing secretly without your knowledge, or maybe he's focusing on improving his fruit ability."

When Gulando was mentioned, the atmosphere instantly became solemn. Garin closed the newspaper and looked at Jiger seriously.

"Jig, do you really want to kill him? After all, he is your biological father.

Jig's eyes turned dark, he looked directly into Jialin's eyes, and said with determination,

"I don't have a father like him, and he never treated me as a son. I am just a tool for him to increase his strength. Only one of us can survive in the end!"

Jialin frowned and said,

"A tool for increasing your power? What do you mean?"

"It seems that you don’t know yet, Uncle Jialin. He spent so much effort to experiment on me. What do you think he wanted to do?"

"Isn't it because he wants you to defeat me and take back the position of the head of the family for him? In fact, he thought too much. I was going to give the position of the head of the family to you, and it can only be given to you."

Huh!

A dark tornado burst out from behind Jiger, and he said expressionlessly,

"Uncle Jialin, you think too simply! He is just cultivating a perfect body for himself, and then taking over another body through special methods. He never thought of relying on me, his son. In other words, from the beginning, he wanted to kill me."

"What did you say?"

Jalin stood up suddenly, his eyes gushing with endless anger. He really didn't know about this. If he had known earlier, he would not have considered Gulando's threat and would have directly chosen to clean up the mess.

Jiger's heart was not as calm as it looked. He forcibly suppressed his emotions that were about to get out of control. The darkness behind him slowly retracted into his body and continued,

"If I'm not mistaken, Glando should be researching the method of body exchange now. After all, the Operation Fruit has not been born yet, and he must be a little impatient."

After listening to Jiger, Garin stood there silently for a long time without moving.

He did not doubt the truth of what Jiger said, because Jiger had no need to lie about such things.

Garin had to kill his father with his own hands, which also left him with a great psychological shadow, so just now he wanted to persuade Jiger not to follow his old path again, and at least save Gulando's life.

But now, he has completely dispelled this idea, because Gulando's behavior is simply worse than that of beasts in his opinion, and he is not worthy of being a father at all!

At this moment, Garin is completely disappointed with his brother Gulando, and he even wants to find Gulando immediately and give him a good beating.

He will not think about killing Gulando, because now his idea is consistent with Jiger, that is, Gulando's life must be taken by Jiger himself in the end.

The uncle and nephew, one standing and the other sitting, the whole restaurant fell into a silence, until Lucia's voice came from the door,

"Young Master, the food is ready. Shall we let them come up now?"

Hearing Lucia's voice, Jig finally calmed down. He took a deep breath, put on a relaxed face, and shouted to Lucia,

"Lucia, let them serve the food. You've worked so hard." Lucia trotted over and looked at Garin, who was standing there with an unpleasant look on his face, strangely. Then she gently wrapped a white napkin around Jig and said,

"Young Master, this is what I should do. Please let me serve you dinner later."
