Chapter 639: Garp's Escape
As Hades expected, Cap did not find any trace of Roger's wife on Baterila Island in the South China Sea.
Today, the navy is actively recruiting soldiers around the world.
There are no foreign wars, and there is no need to fight against the great pirates of the New World.
Garp found an idle job and traveled around the world to capture pirates, which he also regarded as a vacation.
The primary goal is the South China Sea, not his hometown, the East China Sea.
The target was naturally his wife and children whom Roger entrusted to him before his execution.
Garp and Roger are both enemies and friends. He knows that if the World Government knew the existence of this child, they would never let him go.
But he knew that the child was innocent.
Cap did not refuse Roger's entrustment to him before his death.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I came to this ordinary island.
The island is a bit dilapidated, and it can be seen that in the three months after the bloody battle, the island was probably attacked by pirates more than once.
However, the new pirates were not very strong, and many residents on the islands were able to repel the pirates by taking up arms. Of course, losses were inevitable.
"Did something happen?"
When they arrived at the island, the navy went there in the name of obtaining intelligence on pirates, but Garp quietly entered the woods at the edge of the island.
One's actions must be reasonable and logical, otherwise, the jackals in the dark of the World Government may find some clues.
I have to say, Karp is very careful.
Inside the woods, there is a small house that looks quite cozy.
However, Cap frowned. It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time, and some daily necessities were still left.
But I don’t know where the owner of this place has gone?
"Is he dead?"
Cap thought of something bad.
After arranging for the navy to inquire on the island, Cap breathed a sigh of relief. The woman living here seemed to have left.
Took a boat to another island a few weeks ago.
How exactly is not clear.
This did not make Karp put down his worries. Not knowing the news was also a reflection of the uncertainty of life and death.
Garp believed that Roger's wife fled the island early because she was worried about another invasion by pirates and possible pursuit by the World Government.
Little did she know that Luju didn't trust Garp at all. Staying with Garp might be safer, but it would also be more dangerous.
As a mother, how could I trust an outsider?
Entrusting the matter to Garp was only a helpless move because Luju was dying and Garp was the only hope, and because of his title of "Hero of the Navy".
Of course, this is not necessary now.
But Karp won't give up so easily.
It would be difficult for him to find it alone.
So he planned to use the power of the navy to find the trace of Roger's child.
The woman named Portgas D. Luju also has the incognito name of D.
It can be regarded as a relative you know.
He also wanted Roger's child to embark on a bright future and become a righteous sailor.
As a close friend of Admiral Sengoku, Chief of Staff Tsuru, and a member of the Navy's senior management, Garp rarely asked them to help him with things.
Now that they have spoken out, they will naturally take this matter to heart.
It is not a big deal to allocate some intelligence resources to help Garp with this small favor.
By mobilizing the Navy's intelligence personnel in the South China Sea, the Navy Headquarters quickly tracked down Lu Jiu's movements along the way.
However, in the end, the Navy finally found the Holy Light Empire.
"Karp, that woman and her newborn baby were taken away by the Holy Light Empire."
"Now living on Delos, it seems that he is the focus of the Holy Light Empire."
The serious voice of Zhan Guo came.
"The Holy Empire of Light?" Karp felt somewhat familiar with the name. It seemed to be a relatively powerful kingdom in the South China Sea.
But why take them away?
Is it already?
Cap didn't believe a kingdom would be of any benefit to Roger's wife and children.
If their true identities are already known, there must be some special plan behind them.
Roger's entrustment, plus Garp's idea of training Roger's children into navy officers, made him eager to rescue them.
"Zhan Guo, tell me the intelligence and I will bring them out."
Garp said to Den Den Mushi.
"Garp, don't act rashly. The Holy Light Empire is not as simple as it seems. I will arrange for someone to cooperate with you."
Sengoku guessed that Garp might be planning to act on his own, and immediately spoke out to stop him.
Garp was not familiar with these superpowers, but Sengoku, like Crane, knew them very well and was aware of the horror of the Holy Light Empire.
If Garp acts recklessly, his tracks will soon be exposed.
If you want to rescue the people, you must rescue them without the Holy Light Empire noticing.
"I understand." Karp also realized that the Holy Light Empire seemed to be not simple.
As the Den Den Mushi hung up, Sengoku's expression became uncertain.
If it was just an ordinary relative, it would be fine, but why was he taken away by the people of the Holy Empire of Light?
There are many doubts hidden in it, but Zhan Guo did not expose them.
"Karp, what are you hiding?"
It can be said that Zhan Guo knows his old friend too well.
There must be something wrong here.
But since Garp didn't say anything, he turned a blind eye. In the absence of any other pressure, Sengoku was still very willing to accommodate Garp.
On the other side, a blond, unkempt man in slippers boarded a merchant ship bound for the South China Sea.
Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates.
An old friend who works in intelligence in the underground world accidentally learned a big news, that is, "Pirate King" Roger actually has a son, and he has now been targeted by the navy and a certain kingdom, and is about to face a crisis.
Rayleigh knew that Roger had a child.
Upon hearing the news, Rayleigh naturally would not watch the captain's child suffer danger, especially fall into the hands of the navy.
No matter what path the child chooses in the future, he has the responsibility to provide a safe environment for the captain's child to grow up.
It had been less than half a year since Roger had died.
The crew members still have very deep feelings for each other.
If a dozen years pass, they might not intervene.
This news was naturally revealed by Hades.
He doesn't mind making the sea a little more lively.
Even though he won't intervene directly, it doesn't mean he won't cause trouble for the Holy Light Empire.
