After Claudius finished speaking, Roger’s expression became somewhat helpless. He picked up the wine glass and took two sips. Then he sighed and said, “According to what you said, of course he is guilty. It is a serious crime, a capital crime…”

Claudius nodded and did not deny anything. Just the fact that Lu Jiu was hiding here with Roger was a capital crime, not to mention that she was married to Roger…

“You’re right, Lujiu is pregnant. I’ve been holding on, just to see if I can see my child, but I feel like the hope is not great. I’m afraid my body won’t give me so much time…” Roger said softly.

Claudius still nodded and said nothing.

Roger took another sip of wine, looked at Claudius and smiled, then asked, “At least… I mean at least, the child is innocent, right?”

“If you hadn’t become the king, he wouldn’t be a big deal, but now, he has the blood of the Pirate King flowing in his veins. Regardless of whether he’s guilty or not, do you think the World Government will let him go?” Claudius said after sighing softly.

Roger tightened his grip on the wine glass, as if he could not control the strength, and he actually crushed the glass. The glass cut his palm, and blood mixed with wine flowed on the table. It was obvious that he was extremely furious.

But in the end he did not choose to lose his temper here. Perhaps as a pirate, he would do so, but now he is not only a pirate, but also a husband and a future father.

“Is it really… that there is no room for maneuver at all?” Roger looked into Claudius’ eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Claudius reached out and took another wine glass from the table beside him. After pouring the wine, he placed it on the table. Only then did he look into Roger’s eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly, “What do you want me to do?”

“If you hadn’t found out, I would have wanted to entrust my family to Garp. After all, although he and I have different positions, I have always been willing to believe that Garp is a person worthy of trust, and he will protect my children…” Roger said softly.

“Are you sure you can meet Garp?” Claudius smiled and asked.

“Of course, I should say that as long as I am arrested, Cap will definitely come to see me.” Roger said confidently.

“It seems like Vice Admiral Garp is in your hands…” Claudius smiled, and couldn’t help but feel sad for Garp. This guy Roger was going to cheat him until his death.

However, neither Claudius nor Roger had expected that Garp had also come to the South China Sea. He came to find Claudius and wanted to hand over the wallet that materialized the power of the swamp fruit to Claudius and take a vacation at the same time.

His small boat had already entered the port of Batlila Island. This guy was very skilled and bold. He could run around the South China Sea alone with only a small sampan.

Roger did not respond to Claudius’ words, and continued: “But now that it has been exposed to you CP-, the previous plan seems to be full of loopholes. If we don’t do it, even Garp can’t protect my family… right?”

“That’s right, so what do you want me to do?” Claudius nodded.

“Are you really willing to help me? We don’t have any relationship at all…” Roger smiled and said happily.

“I ate two oranges from your house…” Claudius waved his hand and said, after a slight pause, he also murmured with some emotion: “And you are right, at least the child is innocent.”

“I was right about you, hahaha.” Roger said happily after hearing what Claudius said.

Then he became more enthusiastic, took a gulp of wine, and said, “You are a Tianlong, no one will suspect you or anything. This way, it will be safer. I want to take my wife and my unborn child…”

“Wait, I only said that the child is innocent. As for Lu Jiu…I can only promise that I will not report her, but I will not provide her with any protection. If you are not willing to give up, go talk to Garp.” Claudius interrupted Roger without hesitation.

Just kidding, it’s easier to take care of children. At worst, I can be his father or something, so that Ace won’t go down the path of pirates again and die miserably in the end. Claudius is willing to believe that he is not as bad as Garp. As long as he teaches Ace well and trains him to be his own, there will be no pressure at all. Besides, Ace has talent and is worthy of his training.

But Portgas D. Nine was different. This woman knew a lot about Roger. If he kept her around, there would be some problems. She would undoubtedly become a huge flaw for him. If no one knew her identity, it would be fine. But who knew if she had left any hidden dangers in the past? If she was accidentally discovered by the World Government, Claudius would definitely implicate himself if he kept her around to protect him.

What’s more, Claudius didn’t have any need for Lu Jiu. What benefit could a weak woman like her bring to him? The answer was no. Not only no, but it would also cause a lot of trouble. Only a fool would take over such a thing. Claudius was not a fool, so of course he would not agree to it.

What? You said Lu Jiu is very beautiful? Are you kidding? I, Claudius, am a Celestial Dragon. How can I lack beautiful women?

Roger fell silent after listening to Claudius’ words, but he also knew that this might be Claudius’ bottom line. After all, the two of them were not friends but enemies. Claudius was very kind to take care of his innocent child. If he pushed his limits, he might get nothing.

“Not reporting Lu Jiu…? Maybe this is enough. If she’s lucky, she can live a peaceful life.” Roger said with a sigh.

“If that’s the case, I’ll bring your child to see her often,” Claudius said, nodding.

“Thank you so much then. I didn’t expect that in the end, the one who could help me was actually a celestial dragon… Hahahaha, should we say that fate is really fickle?” Roger said with a laugh.

Just as Claudius was about to speak, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and then a sturdy man wearing a colorful beach shirt, big shorts, and flip-flops walked in.

As soon as he came in, he laughed and said to the half-asleep boss: “Boss, I just came to this island today, I’m here to look for someone. Have you seen a tall young man with blond hair here? There should be two beauties with him. I’m here to give him something… But first, give me two bottles of good wine.”

The tavern owner pointed to the wall and said, “The wine is over there, take it yourself… As for the person you are looking for, you can look for yourself.”

At this moment, Claudius and Roger were both stunned. Neither of them had expected that they would run into Garp, such a tough guy, here!

That’s right, this burly middle-aged man was none other than the old wretch Garp. He had heard that Claudius was on the island, but he didn’t see him when he arrived. So he came to the tavern to get some information and have a drink or two to rest. As a result, he ran into Claudius drinking with Roger here.

Garp was also shocked at this time. What did he see? He saw Claudius, a Celestial Dragon, drinking with Roger, the Pirate King, and it seemed that the two of them were drinking happily?
