People in One Piece are so good-looking

"I didn't recognize her identity."

Nuo Xia quickly went through the response that he had just thought about, then showed a look of astonishment, "Didn't you take the initiative to say it at that time?"

"Um?"

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 for 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'm not going."

Although Tina was very sleepy, her attitude this time was unexpectedly firm, "I am no longer a child. 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 learned 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. If the navy catches him, he will 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 in Marineland was destroyed, and there were many things to do in the reconstruction work. Sister He was too busy, 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 escorted to Impel Down, it still caused unprecedented heavy damage to Malinfando.

"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 the news 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. The unborn son of the Pirate King 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’s time to control it and let it 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, how unreasonable it is for you and Gion to persuade me to return to Marineland if you want to complete the mission assigned by the headquarters. Is this 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? Hunting down 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've never mentioned it in the headquarters."

Zhizi's voice was dry and her eyes were a little confused, "Maybe I should have let him know in advance. In that case, Lujiu wouldn't..."

"What if Lujiu is not dead?"

Nuo Xia suddenly said, "Don't you think Mr. Karp's series of actions are too strange? It only took two days to complete the pursuit? And they also said that Lu Jiu died in the sea and did not bring 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, it would be impossible for her to not call me once over the years. .”

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 eyes, he chose to change the topic back and threw out the deep water that had been prepared for a long time. 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 carved from the same mold."

Second update, please vote. PS: The protagonist did not lie. All the information provided to Zhizi is well-documented. There is no problem in confronting Garp. The foreshadowing of the timeline has been laid from the first chapter. You don’t have to worry about the rationality issue. .
