Chapter 192 Sorry, Captain Ajin (Ch 192)

You have to know that those devil fruits themselves break common sense and make the impossible possible.
The Swallow Swallow Fruit can combine living and non-living things at will regardless of physical properties; the Fusion Fruit can manipulate inorganic matter and even create giants as big as islands; and the Scissor Fruit can cut through everything and give it the softness of paper…
Just the combination of these three is enough to process materials of any nature in the world.
If there are more superhuman abilities and they work together, more things can be accomplished, even to the point of being almost omnipotent.
There won’t be any problem in building a boat.
The most critical issue, how to drive Pluto, has actually been solved by Vegapunk.
That is the Mother Fire, a nearly unlimited energy device.
In the original book.
People from the World Government once secretly took away part of the Mother Fire and used it to drive some ancient weapons.
Just one shot from that ancient weapon wiped the entire Kingdom of Lulucia off the map and even caused sea levels to rise worldwide.
This power is so strong that it cannot be described in words.
The power of the individual.
Even people as strong as Whitebeard and Roger would never be able to do such a thing even if they exerted their full strength.
The power of ancient weapons is no longer something that human power can contend with.
If we make an equivalent comparison, if Whitebeard and Roger were equivalent to thermal weapons with large-scale killing capabilities in Gawain’s previous life, then the status of ancient weapons would be equivalent to nuclear weapons.
The World Government has ruled the world for eight hundred years, and during this period countless powerful people have emerged, including strong men like Rocks, Red Earl, and Roger.
But no one really threatens the rule of the world government.
But an ancient weapon that can be driven, combined with the power of the Four Emperors, can do it.
And politics is the art of compromise.
When you truly have the ability to drag the world government down with you, it means you can also sit at the table and eat.
Therefore, it would be a lie for Gao Wen to say that he was not moved.
Even if his original purpose was simply to create a paradise in the new world where he and his companions could live comfortably.
But if this comfort is protected by ancient weapons, it will be more stable.
Gao Wen looked up at Lu Qi with a serious look in his eyes and said:
“Then let’s create a Hades.”
“But the prerequisite for all this is to get Pluto’s design drawings first.”
“And this process must not be known by the World Government, otherwise what awaits us is endless encirclement and suppression by the Navy.”
“The World Government cannot allow a force with ancient weapons to exist.”
Speaking of.
Gao Wen couldn’t help but remind him again:
“Even if we can’t get it, we must protect the safety of our own people first.”
“After all, I also want to try and see if I can reach the level of being on par with ancient weapons with my strength.”
Lu Qi was stunned, but couldn’t help feeling moved.
It is simply impossible for humans to be comparable to ancient weapons.
There’s too much of a difference in magnitude between them.
Even Whitebeard, who is known as the strongest man in the world and possesses the world-destroying Tremor-Tremor Fruit, cannot compare to ancient weapons.
Therefore, in Lu Qi’s eyes, there was only one reason why Gawain said this:
To reduce the psychological burden on his companions so that they don’t have to blame themselves too much for failure, but the more he did so, the more he wanted to repay this man.
“I understand, Captain.”
“We have confirmed that the Pluto blueprints are in the Seven Waters City, but we don’t know where Roger’s shipwright Tom has hidden them.”
“When I withdrew from the mission in the Seven Waters, I had already locked on two targets.”
“Iceberg, the general manager of Carrera Corporation and the mayor, and Carter Fram, who has been missing for many years.”
Revealing information about Pluto would mean that he would have no way out.
But there was no regret in Lucci’s heart, only an indescribable sense of relief and satisfaction.
After all, Gao Wen is different from the CP organization that will ruthlessly wipe you out once you lose your usefulness.
Even for those subordinates who could no longer keep up with him and became a mere burden, he chose a way out for them.
Raven Harbor, Red Dragon Street.
Although Lucci had never been there, he had heard about it from Ajin and his companions on the ship.
That was the paradise that Gawain created for his companions who stayed in the East China Sea.
“I will personally present the design of Pluto.”
“Forehead……”
“Anyway, be careful.”
“Um.”
…
Time flies and it is late at night.
Along with the familiar system prompts, today’s experience gains were settled again.
Gao Wen took a quick glance and saw that the data was almost the same as before, so he skillfully clicked on the distribution record of the experience piggy bank.
The names of Lucci and Kalifa were prominently listed among them.
Even though they were only at the bottom, they were truly recognized by the system, which meant that they officially became members of the Gawain Pirates.
Instead of being pure leeks like before.
There is no need to say much about Lucci’s combat power, and Kalifa’s working ability has also been tested by the iceberg.
The most important thing for Gawain is that with the joining of these two people, he will have the opportunity to recruit Kaku, Jabra and others from CP9 in the future.
Even the design drawings of Pluto may be obtained.
Gawain turned his head and looked out the window, and saw that the lights on the deck were still on. Lucci was directing several craftsmen to repair the Raven’s power system.
Lucci had already changed into the work clothes he wore when he was undercover in Water Seven. The white dove named Hadori was standing on his shoulder, chirping from time to time.
It is visible to the naked eye.
Although Lucci was still serious, he had lost some of the gloominess from his career as an agent and became more relaxed and indifferent, as if he was reborn.
“It really is like living my life all over again.”
Gao Wen murmured, raised his hand to draw the curtains, and the lights in the room dimmed at this moment.
On deck.
Lu Qi seemed to sense something, and turned back to look at Gawain’s room, and couldn’t help but smile:
“This time, the captain’s eyes no longer had that cold, scrutinizing feeling from before.”
“Hey~”
“Hadori, we found a good home.”
The only answer he got was the joyful cry of the white dove. It even spread its wings, flew high, and landed steadily on the top of the flagpole, glancing at everything around it.
“Humph, even you have betrayed the World Government?”
“No!”
“I was reborn in the Gawain Pirates.”
But at this moment.
A familiar voice appeared in Lucci’s ears.
“What is a person talking about?”
Lu Qi turned around and saw Ajin throwing him a bottle of sherry.
He subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, glanced at the unknown pattern on the bottle, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
“Thanks.”
“Huh?!”
Ah Jin was stunned, as if he had seen something strange:
“You, an iceberg, can actually laugh?!”
“ah.”
Lu Qi removed the cork, took a sip of sherry, and swallowed the wine with a slightly sour and spicy taste.
When he turned to look at Ajin.
There was already a hint of apology in his eyes:
“I’m sorry, Captain Ajin, I lied to you until now.”
“Me~”
“I was on this ship as an undercover agent.”
“I know.”
Ah Jin nodded, showing a gratified look:
“I’ve been waiting for you to say this.”
“Did you know?”
Lu Qi was stunned.
“ah.”
A Jin’s mouth curled up into a smile:
“Didn’t I tell you? I’m not stupid.”
“How could there be such a coincidence in the world?”
“We just entered the Grand Line, and I happened to meet someone who had a similar experience to me, and who just happened to be betrayed.”
“I just saw my past self in you.”
As he spoke, Ajin patted Lu Qi on the shoulder and said:
“And now?”
“Now I only have one identity.”
Lu Qi looked down at his clothes, then at the several craftsmen who were still busy in the distance, with a little more satisfaction in his eyes:
“The chief shipwright of the Gawain Pirates, and the man who is going to take the first place.”
Ajin shook his head:
“You’re eight hundred years too early to fight me.”
“That’s hard to say.”
Lu Qi remained unmoved, even his entire spirit bursting out at this moment:
“Come to think of it, there was a standard for evaluating attack power in CP9 before, which was called Dao Power.”
“Based on the 10 Dao Power of a well-trained marine, I have a value close to 3,000, but I don’t know how much the captain and his men have.”
Ah Jin thought about Gawain’s exaggerated strength and said:
“I think we should add a zero after your data, right?!”
“Thirty thousand?!”
“I’m just guessing. After all, if the captain uses the Red Dragon Fruit, there will be no fun at all.”
“That’s true.”
“…”
The two of them talked further and further away.
From gossiping about companions’ Dao power values, to Ajin’s experience on board the ship, to Lucci’s career as an agent over the past twenty years.
They didn’t know how long they talked, but they knew that by the next morning, there were piles of empty wine bottles around them.
With Ajin’s physical condition, he was drunk and unconscious. Even when drunk, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
A few days later.
With the help of the Captain’s Fury Badge, Lucci’s wounds recovered much faster than before, and they were completely healed in just two days.
After the maintenance of the power system was back on track, he rejoined the army of the King of Rolls and began to practice the Six Styles again.
After this try, Lucci felt the difference from before.
now.
On the open space inside the dock.
Ajin, Clo and others were practicing the six styles of the navy that they had just learned near the center.
With the blessing of the Captain’s Fury Badge and the experience piggy bank that provides targeted feedback of experience to the sixth style, everyone’s practice speed can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds.
Lu Qi mingled among the crowd, pointing out everyone’s shortcomings without hiding anything, and he did not give up his own practice.
From the secret of the Six Kings Spear to the Paper-Painted Martial Body, the essence of the six styles was gradually displayed by him.
He even fought against Zoro, Sanji, and even Akin, Crow, and Van Oka one by one.
He just felt that he seemed to have endless energy in his body.
The amount of practice that was enough to make him collapse, at this moment, only made him feel a little tired.
“This feeling…”
Lucci gasped and looked at his hands in confusion.
He finally understood a little.
When I first boarded the ship, the pirate told me that no matter what level of training I reached, I would be able to recover the next day.
“Is it because of a change in mentality?”
“I never considered myself a member of the Gawain Pirates in the past, but now that I truly consider them as my companions, has that changed?!”
“That should be it.”
“At the same time, it also caused my inner liberation and my breaking free from the shackles.”
“From now on, I will become stronger even faster!”
Between words.
Lucci looked up at Akin and Clo who were fighting in the distance, and a gleam of eagerness flashed in his eyes.
“I will surpass you all until I become second only to the Captain!”
…
…
…
Nightfall.
The sky is dotted with stars.
Under the night sky.
The members of Gawain’s pirate group started the banquet again.
Everyone sat around the fire, listening to the singing of the musicians on the boat, laughing, drinking, and talking some incomprehensible nonsense.
Chopper sat in Nami’s arms, took a big bite of the marshmallow in his hand, and stammered:
“Captain, is this another party to welcome the newlyweds tonight?”
“Well~”
Gao Wen waved his hand and said perfunctorily:
“I just found an excuse to hold a party. As for the reason…”
“That’s not important!”
Speaking of.
Gawain raised his glass, shook it towards Lucci and Kalifa, then drank it all in one gulp and said:
“Then… welcome the newcomers again!”
“Oh~~~”
Suddenly, there were sounds of ghosts howling and wolves howling all around.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank, and two pirates even walked to the fire and performed a funny dance, which caused everyone to laugh.
Only Lucci and Kalifa in the distance looked at each other, and saw a hint of relief in each other’s eyes.
“Hey, Kalifa, do you want me to ask the captain for you now?”
Kalifa’s pretty face flushed, and she quickly stuffed the bread in her hand into Lucci’s mouth, saying angrily:
“I want you to keep talking!”
She couldn’t help but look in the direction of Gawain. She opened her red lips slightly but didn’t say anything in the end. She just turned back to look at Lu Qi and said:
“Why do you need to ask so clearly about this kind of thing?”
“It doesn’t matter who he had in his heart, but he definitely had me in his heart, otherwise why would he be so anxious to take me back that night?!”
“Forehead……”
The corner of Lu Qi’s mouth twitched.
He really wanted to say, if Gawain had moved a little slower that night, you would have been dead.
But the situation now is different from before after all.
At that time, he wanted Kalifa to leave because if she continued to stay here, she would only hurt herself.
But now that they have decided to leave the World Government and join the Gawain Pirates, there is nothing wrong with Kalifa falling for Gawain and even taking action.
Lu Qi hesitated for a moment and murmured:
“That’s true.”
“But from now on, this place, this ship, where this flag is flying, is where we will stay.”
“I won’t allow anyone to destroy this place.”
“No one can do it!”
“certainly.”
…
…
…
At the same time.
In Alabasta.
The sandstorm outside the window has subsided, and civilians hiding in the buildings have walked out of the houses, picked up shovels, and cleaned up the sand and dust around them.
Crocodile sat in his office, holding a Den Den Mushi receiver, listening to his subordinates’ reports:
“Boss, we found traces of Knight Gawain near Whiskey Peak!”
“According to the intelligence we received, this place was not originally on their route. I’m afraid they are coming for us!”
“what to do?!”
