Divine Official Gigue

Six years later, inside the Sorbet Kingdom's church, Kuma, whose height had already surpassed five meters, sat like a small mountain in the center of the church, facing a line of elderly people waiting to have their injuries healed.

With the abilities of the Paw-Paw Fruit, Kuma had become a renowned priest in the Sorbet Kingdom, deeply loved by the poor elderly people who couldn't afford medical treatment.

On the church's pew, a young man and woman sat. The man was looking down, earnestly flipping through a Bible with a black cover, while the woman rested her chin on her hand, watching the man engrossed in his reading.

These two were Gigue and Ginny, six years later.

Ginny had now blossomed into a graceful young lady. She had short pink hair, wore a white tank top, and dark denim shorts. The simple outfit looked so youthful and vibrant on her.

At this moment, she blinked her large, light purple eyes and pouted, saying, "Big Brother Gigue, is that book really that captivating? You won't even glance at me. Am I not good-looking?"

Gigue withdrew his gaze, reached out, and gently ruffled Ginny's hair, saying, "When did our Great Beauty Ginny become so insecure? The love letters sent to the church during this time have piled up almost as high as Kuma."

"Hmph! Who cares about those people! They're like a swarm of flies, so annoying!"

As she spoke, Kuma finished his work for the day. He stood up and saw the elderly people out of the church, leaving behind a large, red, transparent "paw" in his place.

Seeing this, Gigue closed the book in his hand and slowly rose from the chair.

Ginny also stood up, looking at Gigue, who stood tall and straight beside her. A spark flashed in her eyes.

Gigue had just turned fifteen this year, but he had already reached a height of 1.9 meters, several heads taller than Ginny, who was a few years older than him.

He wore a white, high-collared, long coat, with a black cross emblem on the chest, the exact opposite color scheme of Kuma's attire during his Shichibukai days.

His black hair was messy and tousled, his fair face had sharp, defined features, and his eyes were as dark as the night, deep like twin black holes.

Looking at the transparent paw formed from pain and fatigue, Gigue said softly, "It's time for me, the Divine Official, to get to work."

He tapped the Bible with his finger, and the black cover seemed to come alive, wriggling and forming a small black tornado that emerged and landed in front of the paw.

When the darkness dissipated, what remained in its place was an ugly middle-aged man wearing a crown. His once-glorious clothes were tattered, and he looked utterly miserable.

Seeing the man slumped on the ground, Ginny exclaimed, "King Beckley?!"

Kuma heard the commotion and jogged back. When he saw Beckley, he was also bewildered.

Since the pain and fatigue that Kuma expelled with his ability could not dissipate naturally, Gigue had been going out to capture scumbags over the years to bear this pain.

Gigue enjoyed operating at night, and combined with his Dark-Dark Fruit ability, evildoers called him the Dark Divine Official!

Kuma and Ginny were already accustomed to this. After spending so many years with Gigue, they were no longer the kind of overly compassionate people who helped everyone.

They just hadn't expected that this time, Gigue would actually capture the king of this country!

Gigue walked to Beckley's side and stood still. He leaned down, placed his hand on Beckley's back, and whispered in his ear, "Alright, now put your hand into this paw. Do you want me to help you?"

Gigue's voice sounded like a devil's whisper to Beckley. His body trembled like a sieve, and a warm sensation flowed from his lower body. He had wet himself directly.

A strong, foul odor filled the air. Gigue frowned, his expression displeased.

"As a king, you are truly pathetic."

Beckley suppressed his fear, his voice trembling as he said, "You can't do this to me! I am the king of a World Government affiliated nation. Do you want to attract the Marines?!"

Gigue merely smiled and replied, "Yes, I want the Marines to come. Speaking of which, they have to salute me when they see me."

"What!? What nonsense are you spouting!?"

"Stop shouting. I specifically chose Monday. Quite a few people are coming today. This paw is much larger than usual, enough for you to enjoy it thoroughly."

After speaking, before Beckley could respond, Gigue applied a slight force with his hand and pushed him into the paw floating in the air.

"Ah!!!"

A pig-like scream echoed through the church hall, lasting for a long time until it gradually subsided.

"Thump!"

Beckley, whose eyes had rolled back, knelt on the ground, eventually collapsing into a pool of blood mixed with his urine.

"Tch, you can't take it after such a short time? It was too easy for you to live comfortably as king for years."

Gigue shook his head and waved his hand. Darkness surged out, engulfing the bloodstains along with Beckley, and then dissipated into the air.

Ginny sidled up to Gigue, fanning away the lingering strange smell in the air with her hand, and asked, "Big Brother Gigue, why did you capture this guy?"

Gigue smiled slightly and said, "Didn't I just say? I wanted the Marines to come."

"Huh? But won't the Marines side with him?"

"Heh, did you forget my last name? Do you think the Marines would dare make a move against me?"

"Then, Big Brother Gigue, what do you mean...?"

"Of course, it means having the Marines throw a grand welcome ceremony for me."

Gigue narrowed his eyes slightly, wisps of black smoke rising from his dark hands.

He was going to join the Marines!

After six years, he felt his strength had reached a bottleneck. If he wanted to continue improving, he needed to go through combat and the training of Haki.

The Kingdom of Sorbet was simply too weak and couldn't satisfy his combat intensity. The seas were turbulent now, with the Roger Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, and other forces rising one after another. This was the best time for him to hone his skills.

And then there was Haki training. Calculating the time, it was precisely when Zephyr transferred to become an instructor and was leading his first batch of students.

Zephyr's teaching ability was definitely not bad. Unlike "Teacher Kaido's" unconventional methods, his was a proper academy style.

The three Admirals who came later were all his students. All three were top-notch in both physical techniques and Devil Fruit abilities.

Gigue believed that with his talent plus Zephyr's guidance, his strength would soon achieve a qualitative leap.

As for his identity, Gigue had already considered this. He wasn't afraid that his actions would be too ostentatious, leading to him being unable to join the Marines or being targeted by Gurando.

He took an envelope from his pocket. A line of small, gilded characters was printed on it:

"Saint Figarland Garling!"
