Chapter 61 Return to the Navy

"Darkseid? Zigg's cousin?"

Zefa couldn't help but think of the time when Zhan Guo told him that Jiger had a background. He didn't take it seriously at first, but now it's different. He can't help but care about it.

My goodness, my cousin is a user of the natural Dark-Dark Fruit, and now here comes a cousin who is a mythical beast. How can it be such a coincidence?

The ultimate devil fruit specifically looks for people with the last name Darkseid?

A low-probability event happening once can be considered a coincidence, but happening twice in a row is not normal. Zephyr is almost certain that Zigg and Lucia's devil fruits were given by the forces behind them.

Thinking of this, Zefa was secretly shocked, wondering what kind of force this was that could be so powerful?

Zefa was thinking when a chaotic noise suddenly came from outside the window, interrupting his thoughts.

"These little brats are acting like a lawless bunch when I was away for just a little while! It must be Borsalino who is leading the charge!"

Zefa walked to the window with a dark face and looked towards the training ground. He immediately knew what was going on.

It turned out that it was Jiger who came back, and next to him stood a graceful black-haired girl. Although they were a little far away, Zefa knew that it must be Lucia mentioned in the resume.

On the training ground, Ginny was almost hanging on Jig, rubbing her pretty face in Jig's arms. Lucia frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

On the boat, Jig had introduced her to several of his close relatives, among whom Ginny was naturally the focus. Lucia knew how important Ginny was to Jig.

Gion in the crowd also wanted to go up and say a few words to Jiger, but she knew that given her relationship with Jiger, going up at this time would only cause embarrassment.

She looked at Lucia, who had been standing quietly beside Jiger, with a playful look in her eyes.

Just now, Jige had introduced Lucia to everyone, saying that she was his cousin, but she was good at observing people's words and expressions and saw the trick.

Just looking at the way Lucia looked at Jiger, it was impossible for them to be so-called cousins. The feeling of attachment was almost overflowing.

Realizing that someone was staring at her, Lucia frowned slightly, turned her head to meet Gion's gaze, and slowly placed her right hand on the hilt of Zhuiming's sword.

Gion's expression changed. She actually felt an inexplicable sense of crisis from Lucia, which meant that the other party's strength was likely above hers.

Fortunately, Jiger noticed Lucia's abnormality. He just called Lucia's name softly, and Lucia immediately calmed down and stopped looking at Gion.

Akainu waited until Ginny and Jigg finished talking before speaking,

"Jig, you've become stronger again."

Jiger smiled and said half-jokingly,

"Sakaski, how did you know that? The hair?"

Akainu responded seriously,

"No, it has nothing to do with the hair. There's an aura about you. I can feel it."

Kizaru held his chin and nodded in agreement. He felt the same way.

Others didn't have any special reaction to this. In their opinion, with Jiger's enchanting talent, his strength was increasing almost every day, not to mention the past month.

"What are you guys doing? You guys are lazying around while I'm away, right?"

When Zefa's voice sounded, everyone was startled and suddenly became quiet, which made Jiger think of the scene when his homeroom teacher suddenly appeared at the door when he was in school on Blue Star.

The students began to line up consciously, and when Zefa came over, all the students had formed two neat squares, except Lucia who was standing on Zig's right.

She stood out among the male students, a girl. Zefa noticed her immediately and asked,

"You must be Lucia who just arrived. Please come up and introduce yourself to everyone."

Lucia stood there motionless, as if she hadn't heard anything. Zefa frowned slightly and was about to speak when Jiger said,

"Teacher Zefa, my cousin has seldom been out of the house and is very shy, so don't let her introduce herself to you. I have already introduced her to everyone just now. Lucia, please apologize to Teacher Zefa."

Lucia immediately nodded obediently and whispered to Zefa,

"sorry."

The tone was very stiff, but Zefa didn't say anything more, just nodded, thinking,

"This Lucia is a bit withdrawn. She might be a female version of Sakaski."

Sakaski suddenly felt his nose itchy, raised his hand and rubbed his nose, and Zefa continued to say to Lucia,

"Then you should go to the female students first."

However, the embarrassing thing was that Lucia remained unmoved until Jiger spoke again. Then she obediently left the male students and walked into the line of female students and stood still.

Everyone who saw this scene was secretly shocked, thinking that this cousin listened to her cousin too much. If Gig was not so young, some people would suspect that Gig was Lucia's father.

In fact, Jig himself was also helpless. To some extent, Lucia's dependence on him was even more serious than Ginny. He was suddenly worried about what to do at night.

He decided that he must make sure Lucia didn't follow him back to the dormitory at night, as that would be troublesome.

As for the female students, Jessica looked back at Lucia, who was standing at the end of the team with an indifferent expression, poked Ginny with her arm, and whispered,

"Ginny, is Lucia really Jiger's cousin? It doesn't look like that to me!"

Ginny had noticed it a long time ago. She originally thought that Lucia was the cousin that Jig met after returning to the family, but now it seems that things are not as she thought.

After all, Jig has not been with the family since he was eight years old. How could a cousin have such deep feelings for Jig? She behaved completely obediently, a bit like... Jig's wife.

An idea suddenly popped up in Ginny's little head.

"Could Lucia be Jige's fiancée?!"

Once this thought came up, it could not be shaken off. Ginny stood there with a conflicted look on her face. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She had already begun to imagine the bloody scene in her mind where after Jiger returned to the family, the family elders designated a fiancée for him.

"Ginny? Ginny! What are you thinking about? Why aren't you talking?"

Jessica poked Ginny again, and Ginny suddenly woke up and shouted,

"No! Brother Jige, don't agree to him!"

This shout immediately attracted everyone's attention to Ginny. Ginny stared with her big eyes and her pretty face flushed. She didn't dare to look at Jig who was puzzled over there, and said hesitantly,

"Yes, sorry, I was distracted just now."
