Chapter 644 Garp Arrives
Although he had been to the South China Sea, Rayleigh was still relatively unfamiliar with most areas of the South China Sea.
Rayleigh had never heard of the Holy Empire of Light, but he had heard of the Church of Light.
However, pirates are generally not very interested in this kind of thing, so they didn't pay special attention to it.
On the other hand, the navy's intelligence personnel continued to go deeper into Delos Island, but they didn't know that most of the intelligence personnel were under the sight of the Holy Light Empire.
And Lu Jiu, who was with little Ace, was a little panicked when she was first taken away.
But when she saw that the Church of Light did not do anything to them, but only took them to the island of Delos and arranged for someone to help her take care of the children, she felt relieved.
In the Church of Light, Ace can obviously be well taken care of and grow up. The Church of Light knows Ace's identity, but does not reject him.
Lu Ju is obviously well aware of the hatred the sea has for Roger, the culprit who started the Great Pirate Era.
Even she couldn't understand why this disaster affecting countless people was caused.
Even some members of Roger's pirate group in various parts of the ocean couldn't understand it.
Knowing this, she doesn't want Ace to become a pirate in the future.
Just live this life peacefully.
As a native of the South Sea, Lu Jiu knows the influence of the Church of Light.
Especially after learning that the Navy and the World Government had information about Roger's son, both mother and son were in danger.
The only one we can rely on now is the Church of Light.
That's right, the World Government also received news about Roger's son.
Hades spread this news in the underground world, but only a small number of forces were able to know this important news, naturally including the World Government.
With this key information about the South China Sea, and the navy's unusual actions in the South China Sea, the World Government immediately confirmed the authenticity of the news and the involvement of the Holy Light Empire.
In terms of intelligence, the World Government is arguably more powerful than the Navy.
Although I really want to get Roger's son.
However, the World Government is also extremely wary of the Holy Empire of Light.
At least, to deal with the Holy Light Empire, they can't send out the Five Elders, the God's Guard, or even the forces secretly controlled by the Celestial Dragon Family as they do to fight against pirates.
There is no need for the World Government to offend the Holy Empire of Light.
If they really did that, not only would they be unable to move forward, but it would also cause them great trouble in the South China Sea.
Even the stance of the member states may be affected, and Tian Shangjin will mysteriously disappear.
Eight hundred years ago, the Holy Light Empire dared to challenge the huge kingdom, and now it also dares to challenge the World Government.
After all, Roger's son is just a baby who has just been born. It is obviously not worth offending the Holy Light Empire for a child.
If Roger's son became a pirate that would be a different matter, as all of Roger's sins would fall on him alone.
But I am still too young to know anything. If I really tell others, it will be the World Government that makes trouble first.
Besides, the World Government only knew about this matter later.
And the Navy has now taken the lead.
No matter what, they will give it a try.
It would be a good thing for the World Government if Roger's son, the child who inherited Roger's bloodline, could be trained.
Yes, this is actually what the World Government is planning.
What value can be gained by killing a child?
In secret, the World Government also sent out agents, ready to negotiate with the Holy Empire of Light at any time.
As for the exploration work, leave it to the navy.
On Delos Island, Lu Jiu was basking in the sun outside the door with her child in her arms.
The warm sunshine was shining down, and the young Ace excitedly stretched out his two little hands, as if he wanted to catch the sun.
Around them, there were several people secretly watching them. After finding their target, they did not dare to take any action.
Because they knew that they were also being targeted, but for some reason, the people from the Holy Light Empire did not take action.
At this moment, a figure strode over, wearing a coat of justice, with a strong physique and a powerful look.
That’s right, the person who came was Karp.
When he learned that the intelligence personnel and even himself had been discovered, Karp decided to take action himself.
No matter what, he had to talk to Roger's wife.
Although Roger entrusted his wife and children to him, the real decision-making power still lies in the hands of Portgas D. Rouge.
He couldn't take the woman away against her will.
This does not accord with his justice.
It’s actually a good thing for him.
In fact, Garp was still very conflicted about Roger's entrustment.
If Lu Jiu rejected him, it would actually be a good thing, and it would save others from trouble.
Before coming here, he was severely scolded by Zhan Guo.
The World Government got the news, and Sengoku naturally got it as well, and at the same time he knew exactly what Garp was hiding from him.
Even he couldn't imagine that as a righteous navy, he would have to take care of the child of an extremely evil pirate who brought countless troubles to the navy and the world government.
Although Sengoku had noticed a little bit of the PY between Garp and Roger in the past few days, he really never thought that Garp would do this.
You know, in the past battles with Roger's pirate group, Garp was very clear about his overall stance.
Fortunately, this matter was exposed in advance, otherwise it would be unclear what consequences it would cause.
After all, Sengoku had some doubts about Garp's ability to teach children.
Dragon's sense of autonomy is too strong, which is obviously related to Garp's teaching method.
If my guess is correct, Garp would not bring the child to the Navy Headquarters for training.
In this case, Roger's son is likely to follow Roger's old path.
Zhan Guo has even guessed what might happen in the future.
Sengoku knew Garp too well.
The reason may be that the child is innocent, which Zhan Guo also knows.
It would be fine if the World Government didn't know about it. It would also be a good thing to bring Roger's son back and train him to be a navy.
But the World Government knew about it, and the Navy knew the news in advance but did not tell them.
Zhan Guo covered up the matter by claiming that the authenticity of the news was not confirmed.
However, now that things have come to this, we must contact the Holy Empire of Light. If the child can be brought back, then bring him back. If not, try to avoid conflict as much as possible.
This is what the Five Elders require of them.
Noticing Garp's arrival, Lu Jiu's face showed panic. She turned sideways and hugged the child tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I have no intention of taking the child away."
Seeing the woman like this, Garp knew that this operation was likely to fail.
It was obvious that she was having a good time here, but she was somewhat repulsed by the navy.
This is understandable. After all, her husband is the notorious "Pirate King" Roger, the mortal enemy of the Navy.
"If you don't want me to, I can leave anytime."
Garp raised his hands to let the woman down her guard.
Seeing that only Garp was there and that he really didn't do anything wrong, and considering Garp's reputation on the sea, Luju gradually felt relieved.
She also knew that Garp was trustworthy. Before Roger left, he told her that if necessary, she could seek Garp's help and he would not refuse.
However, trusting Garp does not mean that you can trust the navy.
Although the navy has a high prestige on the sea, it also has some negative effects.
She was also a smart woman and knew what this child meant to the sea.
She would rather watch her children grow up safely.
And Garp's attention was unconsciously attracted to the child in Lu Jiu's arms.
It looks very cute, this is Roger's child.
"What's his name?"
Garp took two cautious steps forward and leaned down.
"Ace."
When she said the name, Lu Jiu couldn't help but smile and looked at Ace's little face tenderly.
Ace, a name that Roger placed great hopes on, has the same name as his sword.
Perhaps, even Roger himself did not intend to let his son follow the same path as him.
This road is destined to be very bumpy.
