Chapter 73 Ace’s Christmas (Ch 73)

The night breeze gently blows through the treetops.

The originally quiet night was even quieter at this moment.

There was a flash of shock in Karp’s eyes. He never thought that it had been almost two years since Roger’s death, and his wife had not yet given birth.

It was only with the moonlight that Alan could clearly see the outline of the woman in front of him.

“It’s been a long time since we last met, Vice Admiral Garp…”

Lu Jiu looked at Garp’s delicate face and forced a smile while suppressing her fatigue.

Then she looked around and said to Garp and the others:

“This is not the place to talk… Please follow me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly turned around and walked towards a house….

In a house,

“I’m glad that you can come, Vice Admiral Garp…” Lu Ju’s gratitude was evident in her expression.

“You should be very aware of your physical condition, right?!”

Garp sighed softly. He could clearly feel that the woman in front of him had very little life left.

Then slowly move your gaze towards her lower abdomen…

Is it because of this child that I have been able to hold on until now? !

Lu Jiu’s smiling face gradually became dim, and she lowered her head to gently stroke her belly.

“…Yeah~ I know.”

“After I give birth to this child…I may not be able to accompany him to grow up.”

After a long time,

A tear gently rolled down her eye, and then she looked up and smiled:

“But fortunately you are here. I believe he will grow up healthy!”

Karp walked slowly to the window and remained silent for a long time…

Allen looked at the woman in front of him. The blood bar on her head had turned red.

HP: 786/5896

Constitution: 173.12 → 60.15

Strength: 166.86 → 53.14

Agility: 171.01 → 49.76

It’s really like a candle in the wind…

What a pity that such a great mother, such a delicate beauty is about to pass away.

Lu Jiu also noticed Alan’s gaze and squinted at him and smiled.

Alan nodded in response.

Then Lu Jiu looked at Garp and said softly:

“Mo will give birth in the next few days, so…I will have to trouble Vice Admiral Garp and this little brother in the next few days.”

“I understand. Don’t worry, I will take good care of you and Roger’s child!”

Garp said in a decisive tone, then turned around without hesitation and walked straight towards the door with firm and powerful steps.

Take care?!

Uh…just leave him to a group of bandits to take care of him?

Well, Luffy seems to receive the same treatment. I have to say that you really… treat everyone equally.

Alan silently followed Garp out of the room, and the two came to the balcony outside the house. The sea breeze gently brushed their faces, bringing a hint of salty smell.

Cap stood there quietly, without turning his head, staring at the distant horizon, as if the whole world was in his sight.

After a moment, he slowly said:

“Just ask anything you want to ask…” The voice was low and majestic.

Allen took a deep breath and asked Karp:

“She… is the wife of Mr. Garp’s target – Pirate King Gol D. Roger?”

Although Allen already had the answer in his heart, he still hoped to get definite confirmation from Karp.

Hearing Allen’s question, Karp slowly turned his head. After a moment of silence, Karp asked back:

“Since you already know it, why are you asking me again?”

Next second!

His sharp hawk-like eyes stared at Alan, and his expression became extremely serious.

“Alan, you hate pirates, right?!”

Alan looked at Garp with a puzzled expression at this time.

Hate pirates?!

Those are just my experience packs, I love them so much!

“The number of pirates who died at your hands must be at least eight hundred, if not a thousand.”

“Basically no pirate can escape from your hands alive…”

Naturally, Garp also read Eren’s file and knew a thing or two about his methods.

Alan is like another Sakaski, showing no mercy to pirates.

Looking at the silent Allen, Karp continued:

“So what is your attitude towards Roger’s bloodline that started the Age of Discovery?!”

When Alan heard this, he suddenly realized that he was still afraid that I would leak today’s news and take action against Ace who was about to be born!

Alan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then took a step forward and stood firmly on the edge of the fence.

His eyes were firm and sharp as he scanned the surroundings. Then he spoke:

“Although I’m not a good person, the pirates I killed were not the ones who committed all kinds of evil, including murder, looting and arson?!”

Alan’s voice was loud and powerful, full of firmness and determination.

He took a deep breath and continued:

“If we don’t kill them, they will only hurt more people!”

“So I chose to solve the problem from the root!”

“Those are just simple navigators. I don’t bother with them.”

Having said this, Alan paused for a moment, then turned his head and looked straight at Garp beside him.

“It doesn’t matter who started the Age of Exploration, and it doesn’t matter who chose to go to sea.”

“All we can do is ask them to pray that they don’t run into me!”

Because once you meet them, they will become your experience package for becoming stronger!!

Unless you still have value in existence and can bring benefits.

“Hahaha…”

Hearing what Allen said, Garp was stunned for a moment, then he burst into a hearty laugh.

He stretched out his strong big hand and patted Alan’s shoulder vigorously several times, his eyes full of appreciation.

“Alan, the ‘justice’ you uphold is really interesting!!”

Should we say that this kid Allen is a bit evil in his righteousness, or a bit good in his evilness? !

“Just to make a living…” Alan spread his hands helplessly.

Two days later.

Baterila Island.

Allen and Garp sat on a bench outside the house.

“ah–!”

Listening to Lu Jiu’s painful and heart-wrenching voice coming from the room.

The atmosphere outside the house gradually became depressing.

Shit!!

It’s not your wife giving birth, why should you be depressed? !

Time just passes slowly…

As the clear and bright sound of a baby crying came from the room, the atmosphere outside gradually disappeared.

Bang!!

The door was opened by a doctor in a white robe, who said to Allen and the others:

“It’s a boy, but the mother’s condition is not very good…”

call!!

Alan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. After all, even though he had lived two lives, this was his first time seeing a child born, so it was understandable that he was a little nervous.

“Family members can come in…”

Alan Cap also entered a spacious room.

At this time, Lu Jiu’s face was full of fatigue, but she still looked at the baby in her arms lovingly.

“Finally I see you~ Ace…”

She is the only one who knows the bitterness along the way.

Cap watched from afar, not wanting to disturb the scene before him, the last time a mother saw her child.

It is obvious that Garp has clearly sensed that Lu Jiu will not live long…

The blood bar in Allen’s eyes that was visibly disappearing showed the seriousness of the matter.

Just at this moment.

Allen strode forward as if he had thought of something. He came in front of Lu Jiu and said in a serious tone:

“Lu Jiu, do you want to live?!”
