Chapter 149 Bloody Holy Land
After leaving Garp in Impel Prison, Zigg led his team back to Marinford.
As soon as he returned, Jiger was called to his office by Kong.
Sora first asked about Garp's situation, then said,
"Gig, Garp is now in prison, so there's no one left to do his mission. You know, although Garp's rank is only Lieutenant General, his previous missions were not something that an ordinary Lieutenant General could handle. After thinking about it, you're the only one who can take over his mission now."
Jiger thought for a moment and said,
"Marshal Kong, you mean the hunt for Roger?"
Sora nodded and said,
"The Roger Pirates have always been the most wanted targets of the World Government. Their behavior in recent years has been extremely suspicious, so we must not let down our guard in our efforts to capture them."
"Got it. Just let me know when you need me to go out."
After briefly handing over the task, Jiger returned to his office and then called Garin to tell him that the current prison director was incompetent.
Impel Prison and the Navy are two independent institutions. Even Admiral Kong has no right to interfere with personnel transfers within the prison, let alone the director.
Of course, no matter which organization it is, it is just a "branch" of Jiger. If he sees someone slacking off at work, he will naturally take action.
When Garin found out, he told Jiger not to worry about it and he would talk to Satan about it.
A simple conversation between the uncle and nephew led to a change of director of Impel Prison.
After talking about the prison, Jialin's tone suddenly became serious.
"Jig, you'd better take some time to come back during this period. Gulando may not have much time left."
Jiger frowned and asked,
"Uncle Jialin, what do you mean when you say he doesn't have much time left? Is he going to die?"
"Almost. His Blood-Blood Fruit should be on the verge of getting out of control. Although he won't die if it gets out of control, he will turn into a monster without emotions. I will kill him immediately then, so if you still want revenge, come back as soon as possible."
Upon hearing the news, Jiger said without a second thought,
"I'll rush back now!"
After saying that, without waiting for Garin's response, Zig hung up the phone. He said a few words to Lucia and the others, then displayed his divine power and left Marinford.
He had been to Marijoa more than once, and it was still very convenient to go there by himself.
Not long after Jialin hung up the phone, Jiger came to his bedroom.
As soon as he arrived here, Jiger smelled a strong smell of blood. His eyes turned scarlet instantly and he slowly licked his lips with the tip of his tongue.
He is the user of the vampire fruit, and the stronger the smell of blood, the more excited he becomes.
Jiger took a deep breath, suppressed the impulse in his heart, looked at Jialin and said,
"Uncle Jialin, I'm back. Where is Gulando?"
Without saying a word, Jialin pulled Jiger out. When they arrived at the door of the bedroom, he pointed in a direction, which was the direction of Gulando's bedroom.
Jiger looked over and saw a blood mist as solid as a substance covering the top of Gulando's bedroom.
In the blood mist, Jiger could vaguely see a large number of bloody ghost faces entangled in it, and the scene looked extremely terrifying.
Jialin said slowly,
"This is a sign that the Blood-Blood Fruit is about to get out of control, just like your grandfather did back then, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."
Jiger retracted his gaze and looked at Jialin and asked,
"Uncle Jialin, why did the Blood-Blood Fruit go out of control?"
Jialin sighed and said,
"In fact, it's not the Blood-Blood Fruit that's out of control, but the endless greed of the ability user! Glando is courting his own death!"
It turns out that the user of the Blood-Blood Fruit can continuously improve his or her own strength by absorbing the blood of others, just like the Shadow-Shadow Fruit can suck other people's shadows.
The difference is that the enhancement of the Blood-Blood Fruit is permanent, and the object whose blood is sucked dry will die immediately.
However, while absorbing blood, negative emotions will also be absorbed along with it. As negative emotions accumulate, the user will eventually suffer a mental breakdown and turn into a bloodthirsty monster.
Even if the person with the ability knows this in advance, it will be difficult to stop once it starts.
Garin also knew from his father that once blood is sucked, one will become addicted. A firm will can at most delay the process, but it is almost impossible to stop it.
The reason why Gulando has been buying slaves continuously over the years is naturally to absorb their blood.
He had no intention of controlling it at all.
After learning this, Jiger's eyes flashed with blood and he said,
"Uncle Jialin, I'm going to find Gulando now. If he completely loses consciousness, my revenge will be meaningless!"
Jialin sighed with a complicated expression.
When the day came to kill Gulando, he still felt very sad, after all, he was his own brother.
However, as the head of the Figalando family, the current situation did not allow him to think too much.
If Giger can't solve the problem, he will not hesitate to kill Gulando.
This is not only for his nephew. Once Gulando completely loses control and destroys Marijoa, it will bring shame to the Figalando family.
The affairs of the Figalando family must be resolved by their family members themselves!
Thinking of this, Jialin gripped the hilt of the sword and said in a deep voice,
"I'll go with you, and I'll take action if the situation gets bad."
Jiger did not object. It was always good to have Garin as a backup. After all, he could not predict how strong Gulando would become after absorbing a huge amount of blood.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, then disappeared at the same time.
In the past, Gulando's bedroom was guarded by golden-armored guards. Now, let alone guards, there is not even a servant to be seen.
The door of the bedroom had been dyed red with blood, and blood continued to flow out from the cracks in the door.
When Jiger arrived, he punched the door in the air, smashing it to pieces, and then walked in with Garin.
The space inside was very large. Looking around, there were piles of bones and shriveled human skins everywhere.
Among them are the Fur Tribe and the Long-Armed Tribe.
Jiger's attention was not on these. He glanced around the bedroom and said lightly,
"Come out, Gulando. It's time for us to have an understanding."
There was still movement in the bedroom, as if Jiger was talking to himself.
Jiger snorted coldly, and the demon sword Muramasa flew out from the back of his right hand and shot towards a pool of blood in the corner.
The pool of blood seemed to come alive, splitting in the middle in an instant, and the demon sword Muramasa pierced into the floor.
Then the blood scattered and slowly condensed in front of Jiger. Gulando emerged from it and smiled evilly.
"Welcome home, my child."
