Chapter 98 [Hero]
Villa on the west coast of Badelira Island.
Portcas D. Lujiu was the only one left in the simple living room. The old maid who opened the door had quietly left at some point.
Step, step, step...
A steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside the house.
A moment later, Adrian's figure reappeared in front of Lujiu.
Not seeing Mr. Dolag, Lujiu couldn't help but feel a little strange. She asked doubtfully: "Your Excellency White Ghost, where is Mr. Dolag?"
Adrian said: "The hero's son is 'resting' now. If no one disturbs him, it will probably take a while and a half before he wakes up."
Lu Jiu fell into silence. As smart as she was, she naturally understood the meaning of Adrian's words. Based on what the two of them said before leaving, there was no doubt that Mr. Dolag had been defeated!
At this moment, a deliberately hidden aura finally leaked out.
Adrien acted very surprised and said: "It turns out that when we left just now, another guest came to visit! Mrs. Lujiu, your place is really busy today!"
"Ghost boy..."
As the voice came, a tall, broad-chested, muscular man came out. He had short black hair, but his temples were somewhat gray, and there was a long and narrow stitched scar at the corner of his left eyebrow. .
"Isn't this [Naval Hero] Lieutenant General Garp? What a coincidence that you are here, madam..." Adrian said, pointing at Lujiu, "Portcas D. Lujiu, it is Roger’s wife, what she carries in her belly is the [One Piece Posthumous Child] that the Navy and the World Government tried to find even after they nearly overturned the South China Sea some time ago.”
Garp frowned, stared at Adrian and said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, little ghost."
"Hahaha, it has nothing to do with me?" Adrian suddenly laughed, "[Hero], do you know why I am wanted by the navy?"
Upon hearing this, Garp's frown deepened.
In recent times, although on the surface he just asked for leave from the headquarters and returned to his hometown in the East China Sea, in fact, he has been wandering around the South China Sea secretly. Naturally, he knows that the title "Mr. Ghost" has been passed down among ordinary people for a while!
The title of White Ghost's criminal was added in order to prevent the World Government and the Navy Headquarters from tyrannical actions in the South China Sea!
"I'll repeat it again, White Ghost, this matter has nothing to do with you!" Garp said, "Looking at what you did in the South China Sea before, I don't want to take action against you!"
"Hahahaha!" Adrian was almost laughing with tears, "Hey, [Hero]... let me continue to call you that... Let's not say whether this matter has anything to do with me, I just want to ask Now, as the legendary sailor and the mortal enemy of Pirate King Roger, how are you going to treat Mrs. Luju and her unborn child?”
Garp was silent. It was impossible for him to tell unimportant people what Roger had entrusted to him.
"Is it possible that you are ready to let Mrs. Lujiu go like this?"
Adrian danced his arms with full emotion and exaggerated gestures.
"Hey, hey, hey, she is the wife of the Pirate King, and the child in her belly is the [Pirate King]'s child! Lieutenant General Garp, don't tell me this 'pirate newcomer', you, the 'naval hero', are ready for anything. Don’t do it!”
"Kid, your words are really making people more and more angry!" Garp clenched his fist and made a crackling sound, "But no matter what, Lujiu and the child in her belly are innocent!"
"Yes! I very much admit this! No matter how powerful Roger's previous reputation and title are, none of this has anything to do with Mrs. Lujiu and the child in her belly! And I myself have always been concerned about it. I feel very respected for what Mrs. Lujiu has done. No matter from which perspective, she can be called a great mother!”
The next second, Adrian's expression suddenly turned cold, "But 'innocent'? Is this what you should say? [Hero] of [Navy]?!"
Garp's expression changed instantly.
Adrian continued: "There is no doubt that [position] exists in this world!
"And this is why I have made a real [act of justice], but I am wanted by the navy who pursues justice! Ultimately, it is because what I did offended the majesty of the world government! And the maintenance of the navy There is a serious conflict between the ruling positions!
"Then can you tell me, as a [Hero], Lieutenant General Garp, what is your position in this incident?"
Garp was speechless.
"Actually, you know, right?" Adrian's tone was filled with undisguised contempt and sarcasm, "The previous joint operations of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters in the South China Sea!"
The famous pair of [Iron Fists] clenched tightly at this moment, even trembling slightly!
How could Karp not know about the violent storms in the South China Sea some time ago!
But this is like a zero-sum game. Choosing one side will inevitably mean losses for the other side.
Between [Ordinary mother and son] and [Lujiu mother and son], [Hero] finally chose the latter!
"So, can the navy really represent [justice]?" Adrian tilted his head, "Actually, I vaguely noticed a truth some time ago. At some point, [justice] is too important for innocent people. more dangerous than the actual guilty ones.”
After a long silence, Garp suddenly raised his head, his eyes red, "Lujiu and her child! They are innocent!"
Adrian was stunned, "Is this what [Hero] really thinks?"
"Yes! This is what I think!" Garp said very firmly, "Although it is a pity that I did not take the initiative to report the news of Lujiu and her son to the World Government, and... I could not provide... There should be...protection, but I don’t think what I did is wrong!”
"Ha!"
Adrian's tone made no sense.
"Monkey D. Garp, I despise you! Why do you have such a firm mind and belief but don't take any action?"
"But I have to say, Monkey D. Garp, I also admire you a little! As a marine, you can actively disobey the orders of the World Government and protect the widow and son of the Pirate King!"
After saying that, Adrian simply turned around and left.
"White Ghost!" Garp shouted.
"Don't worry, Lieutenant General Garp, I won't reveal the news about Mrs. Lujiu!" Adrian turned around, his face expressionless, "But I am very curious. One day, this "son of the Pirate King" will carry Following his father's will and going to sea to become a pirate, how will you deal with it?
When one day, this "son of the Pirate King" is discovered by the world and publicly executed by the navy like his father, what face will you use to pay tribute to the unjust souls of Nanhai who died in vain?
