Chapter 197 Dao Power Value (Ch 197)

“Let’s go ahead~”
The owl sat aside, with his arms folded across his chest and his eyes closed, as if in deep thought.
He had already unzipped his mouth, and everything he should and shouldn’t say came out of his mouth all at once.
Now that they have been captured, they don’t even know whether they can see the sun tomorrow.
Therefore, this time, neither Weidou nor Gabura helped him shut up physically. After all, he had been holding it in for so long, and he had to give someone a little relief before he died.
“Besides, it’s not just Lucci, Kalifa is also not right.”
“Her eyes stayed on the knight Gawain. That look was like… like…”
Gabra sighed and helped him finish the rest of the sentence:
“Like a girl in love.”
“I think so too!”
Weiqu nodded repeatedly, but he was more confused.
“Do you suspect that Lucci has betrayed the CP organization?!”
Gabra was indifferent.
This was something he didn’t need to hesitate about.
Before last night, even though Gabra and Lucci were at odds, they had to admit that man’s loyalty to the World Government and justice.
After all, at the age of 13, he was a cold-blooded monster who killed all the pirates who threatened the member countries of the World Government, as well as all the hostages present.
But when he saw Lucci again last night, he saw something in that man that he had never seen before.
A feeling of being bathed in the sun that shouldn’t happen to people like them.
Just like…
“That guy…seems to be truly alive!”
“But what on earth could have caused such a drastic change in that monster?!”
This question seemed to press the pause button for the entire cell.
Even the owls fell silent at this moment.
After a while.
Gabra just murmured:
“Looking at that guy’s condition, this change should be pretty good, right?!”
“Qi~”
Gabra curled his lips and said self-deprecatingly:
“We can’t even protect ourselves, so why would we bother worrying about that annoying guy?”
Having said that, he couldn’t hide the worry in his eyes at all.
But at this moment.
A crisp sound of footsteps was heard in the darkness, coming closer and closer, accompanied by the dim light in the cell turning on.
Hadoli, a pure white dove wearing a tie, flapped its wings and flew from the end of the corridor into the cell where Gabra was.
“Gugu~”
“Hadori?”
Gabra was stunned for a moment when he saw the white dove in front of him, which looked very proud and even boastful.
When he raised his head, he saw Lucci with a smile on his face standing outside the cell, looking at him with a playful expression.
“Wow~”
“It’s rare to see you in such a mess.”
“Qi!”
Gabra curled his lips and turned his head away, his tone revealing reluctance:
“If it weren’t for these handcuffs, I would beat you down right now!”
Lucci was not moved at all.
A few years ago, when he and Jabra acted separately, their strengths were almost the same, and there was even a tendency for them to compete with each other within CP9.
They have fought against each other countless times.
But since he joined the Gawain Pirates, his own strength has been completely different from before.
“You can no longer arouse my interest.”
Lucci’s voice was indifferent, as if he was stating a fact, but it sounded particularly harsh to Gabra’s ears.
Gabra’s face turned red on the spot, but his body was restricted by the seastone and he couldn’t muster any strength.
“I haven’t seen you for a few years. My other skills haven’t improved, but my tongue has become more and more fluent.”
Gabra looked at the shackles on his hands. Unwilling to admit his weakness in front of his old rival, he simply closed his eyes but spoke out his inner doubts:
“What on earth have you been through?”
“Or…”
“Have you betrayed the World Government?”
“No!”
Lu Qi shook his head:
“It was the World Government that gave up on me.”
Gabura was stunned, and even Owl and Weidori, who had been silent all the time, couldn’t help but look at Lucci with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
“How is that possible?”
The owl was surprised:
“You are the most talented man in CP9 in the past eight hundred years!”
“In the future, he will almost certainly be able to enter CP0, or even become a senior executive.”
“Are those people crazy?”
Lu Qi recalled what Gismonda had said that night, with the sarcasm on his face, without any disguise:
“To the world government, we are just tools after all.”
“So-called justice…”
“It is only the shackles that bind us, allowing us to become tools of killing with peace of mind.”
“And once a tool loses its value, it is thrown away.”
“Kalifa and I are the first, but we will definitely not be the last.”
He looked at Gabran and couldn’t help but persuade him:
“I can’t tell you to give up everything you have and betray the World Government. After all, that’s like walking from one abyss to another.”
“Gabra, even though we have had many conflicts and even though I don’t like you, we are companions after all.”
Gabra was stunned, and followed his neck:
“Who is your companion?”
“snort.”
Luchi shook his head, not caring about Gabra’s denial.
After officially joining the Gawain Pirates, he gradually tried to give up his original thinking, remove the shackles imposed on himself by the World Government, and look at this world and his former companions.
Naturally, I have a different feeling.
He said calmly:
“You are still so…what did Captain Gawain say?”
“Oh, yes, he is honest but he says something bad.”
“Nonsense!”
Gabra’s face turned red, and the owl beside him nodded repeatedly:
“Yes, this guy was just worried about your safety.”
Gabra’s expression froze after his true identity was exposed. He raised his hand and zipped up the owl’s mouth.
“Shut up!”
Lu Qi laughed, and his aura became calmer. He shook his head helplessly:
“Owl hasn’t changed at all.”
“but.”
“Since you plan to stay in the CP organization, then do everything you can to climb up and truly take power into your own hands.”
“Instead of being a chess piece that can be discarded at any time like it is now.”
Jabra turned his head to look at Lucci in front of him, put aside the trace of shame, and turned to look at Lucci.
If before, he just suspected that some changes had taken place in Lucci, now he was sure.
This old rival who had competed with him for many years really decided to give up his former justice and pursue a new life.
“Does the Gawain Pirates really have such great magic that it would make someone like you join them from the bottom of your heart?”
“What a joke!”
Lu Qi said calmly:
“When the target you want to assassinate, in order to buy you time to escape, he desperately blocks the monsters from the new world.”
“And when the justice you rely on decides to wipe you out simply because of suspicion, you will also make the same choice.”
“Captain Gawain has no intention of making things difficult for the Princess of Alabasta and the three of you. He will release you and Vivi later.”
“Don’t worry about your life.”
Seeing that he had said everything he needed to say, Lu Qi prepared to leave. He waved to the white pigeon Hadori.
The latter cooed twice, pecked Gabra’s hand, then turned and flew to Luki’s shoulder, raising one wing in salute.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but became even more curious about Lucci’s experience and this sudden change.
Those light-hearted words from Lu Qi, when put into practice, meant escaping death time and again.
As members of the CP organization, they knew very well how decisive and ruthless those people would be once they took action and decided to kill someone.
“Lucci, you…”
Gabra opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
All that curiosity, concern, and worry about Lucci’s experiences in the past few years turned into one sentence when they were spoken.
“How strong are you now?”
“My Dao Power value has exceeded 2,000 as early as half a year ago.”
“If you’re still at your previous level, you’ll never be my opponent!”
Lucci paused as he was leaving. He turned around and his eyes fell on the owl with an interested look on his face:
“I haven’t tested it in a long time.”
“It should be…more than three thousand now!”
“Are you kidding me?!”
Gabra was stunned.
He knew that Lucci’s talent was far superior to his own. Even if he was unwilling to admit it, he knew in his heart that it was only a matter of time before Lucci surpassed him.
But the gap was so big that it was far beyond his expectations.
“Let’s go ahead~”
“No matter how you look at it, this growth rate is too incredible, right?!”
“We’re just getting started~”
Lu Qi laughed at himself.
Recalling the monsters on the ship, even he couldn’t help but feel shocked.
His eyes fell on the owl beside him and said:
“Speaking of which, what is the upper limit of the Dao force value you can test now?”
The owl closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and sat cross-legged in deep thought. After a few breaths, he slowly opened his eyes:
“Within 10,000, there shouldn’t be any problem. If it’s higher, my body probably won’t be able to handle it.”
Lu Qi nodded, thinking of the group of monsters on the ship who were in a frenzy of training, and the unfathomable Gawain, and he immediately became interested:
“interesting!”
“Do me a favor and measure the Dao power of Clo and the others.”
“I want to see how big the gap is between me and those monsters.”
Weiqu’s eyes widened suddenly, because he heard Lucci’s subtext:
“You are on this ship. Shouldn’t you be the second most powerful monster after the knight Gawain? Is there anyone stronger than you besides him?!”
“With a Dao Power value of 3,000, it’s already close to the level of a vice admiral in the navy. Even a monster like you… Was it the guy who attacked me yesterday? And the monster who used the claw knife?!”
“How is that possible!”
Lu Qi did not comment, and said calmly:
“Who is stronger and who is weaker, you have to try to know.”
