When Zhizi spoke again, her voice started to tremble uncontrollably, "That baby is Lujiu's child?"
"I don't know. I'm just telling you what I saw."
Nuo Xia shook his head and said calmly: "Lieutenant General Garp did this in a generous manner and did not shy away from those of us on the same ship."
"Even the adjutant on the ship at that time only knew that the baby was called Ace, and he didn't even have a last name. Maybe he was just a war orphan saved by Mr. Garp. He had done this kind of thing a lot, right?
"
"no no……"
Zhizi's emotions suddenly became excited, and her voice also raised a pitch, "With that guy Garp's temperament, if he were an ordinary orphan, he would have been adopted and raised by him in the navy. How could he send him to the East China Sea...
"
"But where is Lujiu?" She murmured to herself absentmindedly, "Where is she? Is she still alive? Why hasn't she contacted me?"
The answer to this question was a bit cruel. Nuo Xia was unwilling to answer directly, but sighed slightly: "If you want to know so much, why don't you ask Mr. Karp personally?"
"Even if I'm wrong, or that Ace is just a coincidence, are you really not going to verify the possibility of this because of your previous prejudice against Mr. Garp?"
"Garp..."
Zhizi's eyes fell on the phone bug on the coffee table.
After hesitating in silence for a long time, she finally chose to pick up the phone and dial an extremely familiar yet unfamiliar number.
Brubru~
After a long wait, the call was connected, and Nuo Xia heard a familiar loud voice ringing with dissatisfaction and complaining: "Hey, who is it? It's late at night, don't I want to sleep?"
If you sleep like a hammer, you can clearly hear you chewing senbei in your mouth.
Nuo Xia rolled her eyes silently in her heart - if it could be done.
"It's me, Garp."
Zhizi was silent for a long time before speaking in a low voice.
"..." The other end of the phone suddenly became quiet, and then there was a muffled sound, like the sound of a whole basket of senbei falling to the ground.
Then, under Nuo Xia's puzzled gaze, Zhizi suddenly moved the phone bug dozens of centimeters away with an expressionless expression.
"Chizi!!???"
The next moment, a deafening sound suddenly exploded, almost knocking off the roof, "Hey! Really? I heard you right? It's really you, Zhizi! Hahaha, why did you call suddenly!
"
The voice was full of surprise, but Nuo Xia couldn't hear it because he was temporarily deaf because he was too close to the microphone.
After a period of tinnitus, when Nuo Xia could finally hear clearly again, he saw that the phone bug was crying and imitating Garp's expression vividly:
"... It's been three years. It's been three years. Why didn't you contact us for so long? The last time I called you, you hung up immediately. I thought I had offended you...
…”
"..."
Looking at the snot flowing from the phone bug, Zhizi silently moved away a little further, and then spoke softly: "Lujiu is my adopted daughter."
The voice on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly.
After a while.
The incredible exclamation suddenly resounded through the entire living room again at a much louder decibel than before:
"Eh??????"
Nuo Xia suddenly leaned back and lay weakly on the ground, staring blankly at the starry sky hanging upside down outside the window - this time he felt that he was really deaf.
I can't hear anything clearly, I can't even feel the passage of time.
However, when he looked away from the stars in the night and looked at Major General Zhizi on the other side of the coffee table, he found that the other person was covering his mouth slightly and his eyes were filled with tears.
The misunderstanding should be completely resolved now, right?
He suddenly smiled. It was really a wonderful thing to see two old friends who had fought side by side for many years in the troubled times of pirates get back together, especially when it was all by oneself.
When facilitating.
Sure enough, we still have to talk openly. If everyone could communicate proactively as soon as possible, how could there be so many misunderstandings in this world?
But you can’t blame Zhizi, right?
Nuo Xia looked leisurely at the night sky above her head. The dark clouds dispersed at some point, and the bright moon shone brightly on the earth.
No matter it was several years ago or many years later, who could have expected that before death came and when life was extinguished, the bottomless darkness would advance into the city,
The scum in the eyes of countless people, the pirate king Gol D. Roger, would grin and trust his wife and children to the enemy of life and death who has been hunting him since the destruction of the Rocks Pirates - Ka.
What about Pu?
…………
A certain sea area thousands of kilometers away.
The warship carrying more than two hundred recruits from the elite battalion of the headquarters is heading towards Citles Island at full speed.
In a room on the second floor of the cabin, the sound of running water from the shower suddenly stopped, and Taotu wrapped in a bath towel walked out of it. While wiping his wet long hair with a towel, he came to stand in front of the mirror.
Through the mist, what is reflected in the mirror is his extremely familiar and delicate appearance, the perfect blend of purity and charm. Just a slight smile is enough to move people's hearts.
"Suddenly I came back, and I'm still not used to it..."
Taotu quietly looked at himself in the mirror for a while, then suddenly shook his head and laughed, and went to the bedroom outside, ready to change into pajamas and go to bed.
It took her a long time to take a shower this time because the skin on her body was sticky and there was a vague smell of sweat, as if it had not been washed for two days and two nights, which made her very sensitive and uncomfortable after smelling it.
No one really expected it...
Thinking of the scene where he suddenly changed back to his original body a few hours ago, Taotu was speechless——
That stinky civet cat is really unreliable. How could it suddenly lose its ability and revert back to it just a few days later?
Considering that beaver cats are not human after all, their ability to control and develop Devil Fruits is limited, and their race's talent for transformation can only last for a short period of time, Peach Rabbit can barely understand this.
——But why when you switch back, your consciousness doesn’t return to your respective body, but your body changes back to its original appearance?
In that case, at least she would be the one staying in Zhizi's home, not Noxia who had transformed back into a male body.
When Zhizi hung up the phone, the angry tone was still in his mind, and Taotu couldn't help but mourn for Nuo Xia.
Although it was not entirely his fault, there was no doubt that the young man had been tricked by her this time.
When you meet again in the future, you must first apologize sincerely and then find an opportunity to make amends.
Not to mention the task of persuading Zhizi to return to the headquarters, Taotu sighed. She knew better than anyone that this matter was a complete failure and bankruptcy.
She was lying on the bed, thinking silently, when a slight vibration suddenly came from the head of the bed.
"Um?"
Taotu turned his head to the side, and when he looked subconsciously, he realized that the source of the sound was actually the miniature phone bug he placed next to his bed.
Who would call me so late?
She had a vague premonition of something bad, but she still answered the phone immediately.
As a result, before he could speak, the voice of a young man who had become so familiar over the past few days sounded from the other end:
"Hey, Brigadier General Gion, do you remember what I said before? In order to repay your kindness in teaching me, it is our duty to convince Major General Shibako..."
The voice paused, then seemed a little smug, and suddenly became inexplicably needy:
"The mission is now complete. Although it is unlikely, I still want to ask, considering how thrilling this mission is, when I go back, should I have, um... you know, extra
