Chapter 106 World Conference, Dimo's Past
"Thank me? Why?" This time it was Russell's turn to be surprised. This thank you was inexplicable.
"Because Big Brother really cares about me and treats me as his own, that's why he worries about me." Lu Kai thanked Russell from the bottom of his heart and said, "You want to tell me about Dimo, right?"
"You actually knew that?" Russell was shocked again, and said with a self-deprecating smile, "It seems that I was worrying too much."
"I know that big brother is concerned about me, how can it be unnecessary?" Lu Kai said with a smile, "I know that big brother saw that I was very cruel to those pirates and thought that I hated pirates. He was worried that I would feel resentful towards Dimo after I knew that he was a pirate, which would affect the relationship between our family.
"But big brother, you don't know that I don't hate pirates. I hate those pirates who massacre and rob ordinary people. If this pirate has not done anything against the law, I naturally don't need to hate him."
"I feel relieved to hear you say that!" Russell breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother!" Lu Kai suddenly became interested and asked, "I want to know more about Dimo and Xinna, can I?"
Russell was silent for a long time, as if he was hesitating or thinking, and then he said, "There's nothing you can't say, you are their closest person.
"Now that you've grown up and know some things, you may be able to understand them better.
“In fact, Dimo is from Itachisia, and Sina was brought back from overseas by Dimo. Sina should not be a pirate.
“Although she is very powerful, my father has never seen any news or bounty on her. As for her identity, even my father doesn’t know.
"We have always known that Demo is a pirate with a high bounty, but we let them live on the island. Do you know why?
“One reason is that Dimo has done a great favor to the Itachissia Kingdom. When my father was young, Dimo was the captain of the Royal City Guard and saved the country from turmoil at the time.
"Under my father's leadership, Dimo also fought against rebellions in various places and made great contributions to the subsequent development of the kingdom.
"The second reason is that Dimo is a kind person and has always been kind. This is what I heard from my father.
“My father said that even if Demo became a pirate, he would be a kind-hearted pirate. He just longs for freedom, a carefree and happy life.
"Later, Demo went to the Grand Line, became famous, and had a bounty of 1.3 billion.
"But eight years after he went to sea, he suddenly came back with Sina and Olin. He looked completely different, with a scruffy beard. Even my father couldn't recognize him.
“But this is just fine, since no one can recognize me, no one will cause trouble.
“After returning, Dimo did not live in Wolf City, but chose to live in the remote Spring Town, leading an ordinary life in hiding until now.
"My father had some guesses about why Dimo came back and became so depressed. They were not just guesses, but based on facts. It seemed to be related to Dimo and Sina's child."
"Child?" Lu Kai was shocked to hear that Dimo and Xina had a child. He had never heard of this before.
Russell nodded and said, "Yes, there was a news report that the Demo Pirates kidnapped a baby on an island.
"Not long after that, another news report came out that Dimo had attacked an island and killed a prominent local noble, and not long after the second report, Dimo had returned.
"Both reports are totally inconsistent with Dimo's character. Saying that he would kidnap a baby? That's simply nonsense, so it's highly likely that the baby is actually Dimo's child.
“Later, perhaps due to an accident or someone else’s scheme, the child was gone, so Dimo did something against common sense and killed someone in anger.
"After that, Dimo became depressed, gave up his identity as a pirate and returned to the West Sea, living a completely ordinary life."
After saying this, Russell let out a long sigh. He had kept many things in his heart for many years, and now that he could speak them out, he felt much more relaxed.
Only two people in the whole of Itachisia knew about Dimo's affairs, one was the old king who had passed away, and the other was Russell.
"Brother, thank you!" Lu Kai was very grateful to Russell for telling him this, and was also grateful to them father and son for protecting Dimo.
At the same time, Lu Kai also made up his mind that he must secretly investigate what happened in the past and understand the situation clearly. It would be great if he could do what he could to help Dimo and Xina.
……
"Young men, charge forward, seize all the treasures, and kidnap the king and princess of Itachisia!"
Following an extremely excited shout, many voices responded loudly.
Luke and his crew, who had already left the Grand Line and had just returned to the West Sea, encountered another pirate ship, and the other side wanted to rob them without any explanation.
Amid the pirates' excited shouts, the pirate ship continued to approach King Itachisya's ship. This was the seventh time along the way.
Lu Kai looked at this group of excited pirates, his observation Haki sweeping across the entire ship, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
It was another pirate group composed of rookies, the kind that could only survive in the West Sea, yet they actually wanted to kidnap Russell and Rachel.
Even if Luke wasn't there, the King's Guard alone could easily defeat this pirate group.
Having lost interest, Lu Kai teleported into the air, then raised his right foot backwards and kicked out with a storm kick.
A slash over ten meters high emerged from his toes, flew forward quickly, and then passed through the entire pirate ship without any hindrance.
The captain of the pirate ship, who had just been shouting and holding a knife excitedly, suddenly stopped moving, and then split into two along with the pirate ship, with perfect cuts showing at the split ends.
As the pirate ships separated, a large amount of sea water poured in instantly. The remaining pirates struggled on the sea, but Lu Kai suddenly appeared above these people and punched the void below.
A strong shock wave rushed from Lukai's fist into the sea below. With one punch, the remaining pirates were wiped out.
Now Luke's fist already has some of Garp's shadow. After all, ever since he started learning Bone Fist and received systematic guidance, Luke's progress has been rapid.
In the past, Lu Kai was not good at fighting with his fists. Most of the time, he preferred to use a knife and a sword. But now, Lu Kai is practicing both fists and swords, and wants to reach the top level in both aspects.
Not only his fists, Lu Kai's 'Storm Kick' is also extremely powerful. The same move can have drastic changes depending on the user.
