Chapter 12: Jiger's Past

The bear came to his senses, hurried forward to take Ivan off Jiger, and found a chair for Ivan to sit down.

The four of them sat around a dining table, tasting the fish cooked by Bear. This was their only dish tonight, but fortunately the fish was quite big.

Jiger ate with gusto. This was the first time he had a hot meal since he traveled through time.

When they were in the Valley of Gods, they didn't have the energy to catch fish, let alone make a fire and cook, so they could only pick some wild fruits for food.

However, the three Xiongs were slow to pick up their chopsticks. They just watched Jiger eat the fish in big mouthfuls.

After drinking a large bowl of thick fish soup, Jiger smacked his lips, looked up at the three people, and exclaimed,

"Why don't you eat it? It tastes really good!"

The bear asked tentatively,

"Brother Jiger, do you remember what happened during the day? Electricity was generated on your body. Is that also your devil fruit ability?"

Ginny nodded vigorously and gestured with her hands.

"Yeah, yeah, even the eyes have turned red, so scary!"

Ivan didn't say anything. He stared with his big eyes like copper bells, full of curiosity. It was obvious that he also wanted to know what had happened to Jiger.

Jiger did not intend to hide anything from these three people, and whispered,

"That's because I remembered something. You should have heard what that person said to me when we were about to leave."

The only ones who were most conscious at the time were Jiger and Xiong. Xiong spoke up,

"Remember, that person said your last name was Fegarando. Does this last name have any meaning?"

"Of course, it's this last name that reminds me of a lot of things..."

At this point, Jiger suddenly paused, looked directly into the bear's eyes, and slowly spoke,

"Bear, if I were a Celestial Dragon, would you hate me?"

"What!?" X2

As soon as these words were spoken, Ginny and Ivan jumped up from their chairs and looked at Jiger in disbelief.

Compared to the reactions of the other two, Xiong was much calmer. He lowered his head and said nothing. No one knew what he was thinking.

Jiger didn't say anything either, just looked at the bear quietly.

The church hall was terribly quiet. Ginny couldn't help herself and forced a smile.

"Kai, you must be kidding, Brother Jiger. How can you be a Celestial Dragon? We just escaped from the Valley of the Gods together!"

Ginny didn't want to accept this reality in her heart, but looking at Zigg's serious expression, she knew that this was most likely true.

Jig looked at Ginny and said softly,

"How could I joke about such a thing? I am indeed a Celestial Dragon. Otherwise, why would Garin, the leader of the Knights of God, rescue a slave from Charlotte Linlin?"

"Is this Garin yours...?"

"It's my uncle."

Tears welled up in Ginny's eyes. She ran to Jig and held his hands tightly, as if she was afraid of losing him.

She murmured to herself,

"No, it's just a coincidence. If that were the case, how could they allow you to end up in the Valley of Gods?"

Jiger raised his hand and gently stroked a pink hair on Ginny's head, and recounted his previous experience in a very calm tone.

Now he has merged with the remaining soul of his original body, including his original body's memories, and he has experienced all the pain again.

He was born in the Holy Land of Marijoa. His father was the eldest son of the Figalando family, Saint Figalando Grando.

Gulando's younger brother is Garin, who has become the leader of the Knights of God. The Knights of God are the trump card force to protect the Celestial Dragons. The leader of each generation is inherited by a member of the Fegarando family.

Of course, such an important position will naturally not be assigned to a certain family. The reason why it is always held by someone from the Figarando family is that members of the Figarando family are not only a minority of "sober people", but most importantly, they are extremely talented.

Their talents were not compared to those weak-combat Celestial Dragons, but to the top-notch experts out there.

This can be seen from Garin. His performance in the Valley of the Gods was absolutely brilliant. He fought against Charlotte Linlin, Newgate and finally Rocks successively, and there was no sign of decline at all.

In this generation of the Figalando family, a pair of brothers, Garin and Gulando, were born.

As the elder brother, Gulando was actually very talented, but he was a little weaker than his younger brother Garin. He lost to Garin in every competition, and eventually he missed the position of leader of the Knights of God.

This also became a permanent thorn in Gulando's heart.

However, his talent seemed to be more in his brain. In terms of scientific research, he was far ahead of Garin.

There are too many races with extraordinary talents in this world, and Gulando also set his sights on them. In the end, he chose the Minks and the Lunalias.

He wanted to add these two genes to himself through experiments, so that he could become stronger!

But he is afraid of death, and he is already an adult with his body almost fully developed, so even if genetic modification is used, the effect will be limited.

Just when he was feeling a little discouraged, his child, Jiger, was born.

The Fegarando family attached great importance to the physical qualifications of their descendants and had special instruments for identifying this. Jiger's data in all aspects were very strong, even stronger than Garin's at the beginning.

This made Gulando overjoyed. This cold-blooded guy actually set his sights on his own son!

Jiger's body is too perfect for Gulando, not to mention it's his bloodline!

There are ways to exchange bodies in this world, such as the Operation Fruit. As a Celestial Dragon, Glando certainly knows this.

He was so greedy that he was not even satisfied. He wanted to apply his previous ideas and genetic modification experiments to Ziger. He wanted to get a body comparable to that of a god!

So, Grando teamed up with Vegapunk to conduct inhumane genetic experiments on young Zigg.

But no matter how strong Giger's physical talents were, he was still a child after all. The long-term experiment directly led to his physical collapse, and the experiment was declared a failure.

When seeing Ziger who had "died" on the experimental table, Gulando did not even feel a trace of sadness in his heart, but only madness and cruelty.

"Waste! Waste!!!"

The already mentally abnormal Gulando actually hated Ziger. He hated Ziger for shattering his dreams.

So, he ordered his lackeys to throw Jiger's "corpse" into the slave ship and transport it to the Valley of the Gods...
