Nuo Xia quickly went through the response that he had just thought about, and then showed a stunned expression, "Didn't you take the initiative to say it at that time?"
"Huh?" Zhizi was startled, and realized that this seemed to be the case. She couldn't help but wonder, "Then what did you originally want to say when you took the photo?"
"It looks familiar." Nuo Xia said honestly, "I seem to have seen it somewhere before, especially those eyes."
"..." Zhizi's eyes narrowed slightly, "What do you mean, where?"
"I can't remember it at the moment." Nuo Xia scratched his head, feeling that his acting skills seemed to have improved again, "Compared to this, Major General Zhizi, can I ask you a question?"
"Don't change the subject." Zhizi frowned, but still agreed, "...tell me, what's the problem?"
"Why are you, and Mr. Karp..." Nuo Xia noticed that Zhizi's face darkened, so he spoke faster, "That's right, Mr. Karp is not only a hero I respect, but also the one who led me into the elite of this department.
The promoter of the camp.”
"Obviously speaking, as comrades in arms for many years, you and he should have a very close relationship. Why has it become like this? You don't even want to hear Mr. Karp's name again?"
"Is this kind of thing important?" Zhizi asked.
"Yes." Nuo Xia nodded seriously, "Please tell me. This may help me remember the owner of those eyes."
"..."
Zhizi glanced at Nuo Xia meaningfully, then suddenly lowered his head and whispered to Tina: "Go upstairs and sleep, Tina. It's getting late. If you don't rest, you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."
"No, I won't go."
Although Tina was very sleepy, her attitude this time was unexpectedly firm, "I am not a child anymore. I have heard this. Does Grandma Zhizi still want to hide everything from me?"
Zhizi touched her little head. After hesitating for a while, he sighed and did not insist anymore. He let Tina continue to lie in his arms, looked up at Nuo Xia and said:
"Do you think the reason why I left Marinefando three years ago was related to that guy Garp?"
"Just a little guess."
Nosha did not deny it.
"Then you guessed it right."
Zhizi said calmly, "Whether it was the breakdown of my relationship with Garp or my resignation from the Navy Headquarters, there was only one reason for both of these things, and that was Lujiu's death three years ago."
"I mentioned this to you before, right? After the execution of Pirate King Roger, the Navy Headquarters launched a hunt for the descendants of his family. It was only then that I found out that Lujiu was Roger's wife."
"When I learned about this incident, I took the initiative to ask the headquarters to take charge of this matter. Maybe it was for selfish reasons, but in any case, as Lujiu's only family member in the world, I couldn't just watch her being raped.
The navy will catch him and end up with a scum like Roger!"
"But at that time, Shiji the Golden Lion had just caused a big fuss in the headquarters. Half of the town of Marineland was destroyed. There were many things to do in the reconstruction work. Sister He was too busy to handle it, so I had to focus my energy here first."
Nuo Xia nodded silently, he naturally knew about this.
After Roger surrendered, Golden Lion could not believe that Roger, who was recognized as his opponent, would be arrested, so he went to the navy headquarters alone to question him.
Although he was eventually defeated by Garp and Sengoku and was taken into Impel Down, it still caused unprecedented heavy damage to Marinefando.
"And when I regained my composure, I finally had time to take over the pursuit of Lu Jiu."
When Zhizi said this, her mood was a little unstable, and her thin body was trembling slightly, "But I heard that Lujiu's traces have been exposed in the South China Sea, and Garp has led a fleet to the South China Sea to contain and capture her."
Tina hugged her waist sensibly and pressed her face tightly against her chest, which made her feel much better and gradually calmed down.
"You are young, so you may not understand the grudge between Garp and Roger. He hates this guy very much, especially when the guy said those words before he died, which started the chaotic era of great pirates and brought great changes to the navy.
After causing endless trouble."
"So after learning about Roger's pregnant wife, this guy didn't even bother to stay at the headquarters to recuperate, and directly went out personally in order to completely nip the bloodline of the Pirate King in the bud."
"He did it." Zhizi looked gloomy. "Only two days later, the headquarters received the news from him. Lujiu panicked and fell into the deep sea and died while being chased by him. One Piece's unborn son also died.
So she was stillborn."
"And this is the answer to the question you want to know."
She looked at the silent Nuo Xia and laughed at herself, "Of course Garp did nothing wrong. From the perspective of the navy, if it were me, I would not let go of the descendants of scum like Roger easily, at least not
It should be controlled and allowed to grow up under the close surveillance of the navy."
"But no matter what, Lujiu died in his hands. I felt that I could no longer face Garp with the same attitude as before, and I had no reason to accuse him. I could only choose to endure it and avoid seeing him.
, I left the headquarters and returned to my hometown to escape everything."
"So." She glanced at the hung-up phone, shook her head, "You should understand now, whether it is you or Gion, if you want to complete the mission assigned by the headquarters, it is very unreasonable to persuade me to return to Marineland.
Is it a realistic thing?"
"..."
Nuo Xia, who had been listening quietly to Zhizi's narration without interrupting, finally raised his head and looked directly into her eyes: "Do you really think Lieutenant General Garp is this kind of person?"
"What? Chasing the pirate's family?" Zhizi shook his head, "Normally Garp would not do such a thing, but Lujiu's situation is too special. That is Roger the Pirate King..."
"Even so, I don't think Lieutenant General Garp will do this. You have been with him for so many years, so you should know his character better than I do."
Nuo Xia interrupted her, "Also, does Lieutenant General Garp know about your relationship with Lujiu?"
"I don't know, Zefa and Warring States don't know either. I never mentioned it in the headquarters." Zhizi's voice was dry and her eyes were a little confused. "Perhaps I should have let him know in advance. In that case, Lujiu wouldn't..."
"What if Lu Jiu is not dead?" Nuo Xia said suddenly, "Don't you think Mr. Garp's series of actions are too strange? It only took two days to complete the mission of killing Lu Jiu? And he said
Did he die in the sea without bringing back the body? Could it be that he deliberately did this to protect Lu Jiu..."
"I've thought about this too." Zhizi said coldly, "But unfortunately, little guy, this is impossible. My personal phone number has never been changed. If Lujiu was still alive, she would
It’s impossible that you haven’t called me once.”
That's because Lujiu, this great mother, in order to protect her son, delayed the birth date for more than a year, and finally died of exhaustion after giving birth to Ace...
Nuo Xia secretly sighed in his heart, but he couldn't clarify these words, which would not explain the source of the news at all. So facing Zhizi's gaze, he chose to change the topic back and threw out the deep water that he had prepared long ago.
bomb:
"I just said that the photos of Lu Jiu when she was a child look very familiar, especially the eyes. I seem to have seen them somewhere."
"Huh?" Zhizi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Now I remember."
Nuo Xia took a deep breath and said calmly, "A year ago, when I took Mr. Karp's boat from the East China Sea to the headquarters, I followed him to stay on an island, and witnessed with my own eyes that he put a man who was only a few months old
The older babies were given to local residents to raise."
"The baby was very sensible and never cried, so I was very impressed."
Looking at Zhizi who suddenly changed his expression, Nuo Xia smiled and said, "And he looks very similar to Miss Lujiu, especially the eyes. They are almost carved from the same mold."
