One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

Killer Bee's face turned ashen, and he instinctively clutched his chest as the Eight-Tails' voice echoed in his mind.

"As expected, that woman wants to reclaim her power. It seems today will be the day we part ways."

Killer Bee refused outright.

"Xiao Ba, I will never hand you over!"

“Bi, the enemy is beyond our ability to deal with. I will try my best to save some of my chakra to protect your life, so that at least you and the village can be saved.”

"Absolutely not!!"

"By the way! This is not the time to act rashly! Do you want to see your village destroyed?!"

"I......"

Killer Bee clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms, drawing bright red blood, his face contorted with struggle and pain.

At this moment, Gigg, who had been quietly watching Killer Bee, suddenly shrugged and spoke.

"I'm just helping my people reclaim her power; as for anything else, I have no interest."

As he spoke, the Muramasa sword in Giger's hand transformed into a black light and disappeared into the back of his hand. He pointed it at Killer Bee and said calmly,

"I see you've lost all will to fight, so hand over the Tailed Beast."

Killer Bee shuddered; the usually cynical Killer Bee was unusually gripped by fear at this moment.

The enemy is too powerful to be matched. To save the village, he must obediently hand over his best friend. The consequence of resistance is that not only will he and his best friend die, but the village will also be destroyed. No matter how you look at it, this is a choice he has no choice at all.

Although the Raikage on the ground didn't know exactly what was going on, seeing two Jinchuriki reacting this way in succession, he understood a little. Seeing Killer Bee in such pain, his voice was no longer as stern as before.

"What happened, Bi? Don't be afraid, we are from Kumogakure..."

Before the Raikage could finish speaking, Killer Bee interrupted him with a loud shout.

"Stop talking! Big brother!"

After saying this, to the astonishment of everyone in Kumogakure, Killer Bee threw out all the weapons on his body, spread his arms, and walked towards Giggs with a posture of offering his neck for execution.

Upon seeing this, Raikage's eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared.

"What are you trying to do!?"

Killer Bee, however, had calmed down. He had made up his mind to sacrifice himself to save the village. He spoke in an unusually calm tone,

"Brother, my sacrifice is necessary for the sake of the village."

"Damn it! What nonsense are you spouting?! When has our Hidden Cloud Village ever needed to rely on one person's sacrifice to protect itself?!"

"Brother, you don't know their identities. Of course, it's a good thing you don't know. I believe you will know and understand me one day."

Having said that, Killer Bee resolutely stood before Gigg, looked at Yugito who was being held in Gigg's grasp, and said in a deep voice,

"Yukito, have you also come to that realization?"

Yugito gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty. Jig immediately let go, and Yugito knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Seeing this, Giger joked,

"Doesn't this landing style hurt your knees?"

However, at this moment, both Yugito and Killer Bee were somewhat despondent, so they couldn't possibly laugh. Giger first waved to Kaguya behind him, signaling her to come and retrieve the Tailed Beast, then turned to look at Killer Bee and Yugito in front of him, and chuckled softly.

"It seems you all get along well with the tailed beasts inside you, especially you, Killer Bee. As expected of the only perfect Jinchuriki, the Eight-Tails Gyūki actually sacrificed himself for you."

Killer Bee remained silent, but the ninjas of Kumogakure could no longer tolerate it and rushed over again, wanting to attack Gigg. If ninjutsu didn't work, they would use taijutsu. The ninjas of Kumogakure were skilled in taijutsu, and in their view, no matter how strong Gigg was, he was still just a man with two arms and two legs. They would use a human wave tactic to drown Gigg.

Facing the siege of the Cloud Village ninjas, Giger remained calm. He simply raised his wrist, a flash of white light appeared, and a low-powered Shinra Tensei was unleashed, directly causing all the Cloud Village ninjas who rushed up to cough up blood and fall to the ground.

Killer Bee, realizing what was happening, roared angrily.

"Don't come any closer!!"

Jig didn't even glance at the Cloud Village ninjas groaning on the ground; to him, they were no different from ants.

"Sacrificing an individual to save the village isn't unheard of in the ninja world. Didn't your Hidden Cloud Village once force Konoha to hand over a Byakugan scapegoat? What, is it your turn to feel bad now?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Ying on the ground changed his expression and exclaimed in surprise,

"You're from Konoha!?"

Giger glanced at him and said,

"I've already said it, I'm not a ninja, nor am I a villager. If I had to say, I'm just a passerby."

At this moment, Kaguya had already placed her hand on Yugito's head. Having absorbed the Three-Tails and the Five-Tails, she no longer needed to summon the Gedo Mazo to retrieve the Tailed Beasts. She could simply use her basic Preta Path abilities to pull out the Tailed Beasts.

Before the absorption began, Kaguya looked at Giger and asked softly,

"Lord Giger, should we spare her life?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. What did he mean by "leaving him alive"? Did he mean that a Jinchuriki could survive after having his Tailed Beast extracted?

Yugito, who was originally prepared to die, couldn't help but look at Giger. Knowing the abilities of Giger and the other two, she knew that the Goddess of the Rabbit definitely had such abilities, and whether she could save her life depended entirely on Giger's words at this moment.

However, Yugito also knew that such a possibility was extremely slim. After all, the three people in front of him were not human, but gods in the true sense. To them, human life was probably no different from that of ants, so why would they need to protect it?

As soon as she finished speaking, Yugito felt her body suddenly become empty. When she realized that the Two-Tails inside her had disappeared, Kaguya had already turned around and gone to Killer Bee's side.

Yugito stared blankly at her body. She had actually survived, and even though her tailed beast had been extracted, she didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Kaguya walked over to Killer Bee and placed her hand on his head again, asking Gig as usual whether he wanted to spare his life. Gig already had a good impression of Killer Bee, so he naturally indicated that Kaguya could spare Killer Bee's life.

To everyone's surprise, Killer Bee showed no joy at all upon learning that he could save his life. He abruptly looked up, staring into Gigg's eyes, and said...

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it. I want to stay with Xiao Ba."

Hearing these words inside Killer Bee's body, the Eight-Tails was deeply moved. However, despite its emotion, seeing Killer Bee about to die, the Eight-Tails roared anxiously.

"You better live on, you bastard!!!"
