Chapter 438 Ace's Mother Sacrifice
After Roger's death, the World Government and the Navy searched all the islands he had visited that year in order to prevent Roger from leaving behind a sinful bloodline. They investigated all the pregnant women who were about to give birth or had just given birth, and any who were even slightly suspicious were captured and eliminated.
In order to protect Ace in her belly, Lu Jiu used various methods and tried her best to delay Ace's birth date. She was pregnant for twenty months and finally gave birth to Ace after getting rid of the suspicion.
However, Lu Jiu also died of exhaustion after giving birth to Ace.
Luke has always felt guilty about this matter. In fact, he had the ability to secretly rescue Luju at that time, but Roger said that Garp alone was enough to protect Luju secretly, and he sternly stopped him in order to prevent Luke from being involved.
At that time, Lu Kai also felt that what Roger said about Ace having his own destiny made sense. In addition, Roger said that Lu Jiu was a strong woman and would definitely be able to overcome this difficulty. So Lu Kai did not insist and only wanted to lend a helping hand when things changed because of the butterfly effect.
Since then, every time Luke saw Ace, he felt guilty towards him, so he tried his best to make it up to him. Now that he thinks about it, he could have saved Luke without anyone knowing, and there was no need to risk his life, just like when he saved Nico Robin's mother Olivia.
After saying hello to the bandits, Luke and Fuya took Ace through the dark space gate to the South China Sea, and then performed a space shoulder throw and took Ace to Batirila Island, in front of Lu Jiu's tomb on a small hill.
The tomb was Capuli's, very elegant, and the surrounding scenery was also nice, but Ace didn't care about all that. When he saw his mother's tomb, Ace immediately knelt on the ground, and then he couldn't control his emotions anymore and burst into tears.
This was the first time he cried since he was a child, and it was a heart-wrenching cry.
On his way here, Lu Kai distorted the space around them, turning several people invisible and isolating the sound, allowing Ace to vent without restraint the emotions that had been suppressed for many years.
Ace never had a good impression of Roger, thinking that Roger had ruined his life, but he was very respectful to this mother who had sacrificed her life for him.
His biggest wish since childhood was to be able to pay tribute to Lu Ju, and now that his wish has come true, Ace is completely unable to control his emotions.
"Silly boy, cry if you want to. There's nothing shameful about crying for your mother." Fuya felt very distressed when she saw Ace's sad look. She was afraid that the arrogant Ace would feel embarrassed after crying, so she spoke quickly.
After Fuya finished speaking, Ace cried even harder. Luke left the place completely to Ace and walked far away with Fuya, because Ace must have a lot of things to say to Luke.
Two hours later, Ace, with red eyes and nose, walked to Lu Kai and Fu Ya, then hugged Lu Kai and Fu Ya, his eyes unconsciously moist again.
"Lu Kai, Fu Ya, thank you." Ace tried to hold back his tears this time, but the tears still flowed out again.
Lu Kai and Fu Ya squatted down and touched Ace's head, but didn't know what to say.
After that, Lu Kai and Fu Ya took Ace to many places. Every time they arrived at a place, they took Ace to the largest restaurant there to steal food.
After all, the identities of the three people cannot be made public. They can't just walk into the restaurant and order food. In order to let Ace enjoy all kinds of delicious food, they can only resort to this last resort.
Ten days later, the three returned to the Goa Kingdom. Ace's condition was completely different from before and he said he would start training immediately.
In the past ten days, Ace, Lu Kai and Fu Ya have talked a lot. In fact, it was basically Ace talking and Lu Kai and Fu Ya listening, or Ace asking and Lu Kai and Fu Ya answering.
However, after saying everything he wanted to say and understanding everything he wanted to understand, Ace no longer had any resentment, but was filled with passion.
Before, he trained very hard, mostly to vent his pent-up emotions through training, but now he has found his own way and wants to train from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Kai and the other man were very pleased about this.
After leaving the Kingdom of Goa, Luke and Fuya went to see Nico Robin again.
The seventeen-year-old Nicole Robin has grown into a graceful young lady, and her aura has become very strong, but the temperament she exudes is very sunny, without any gloom at all.
In recent years, Robin has been able to see Olivia and Dr. Clover once a year, and he feels extremely satisfied about this. What's more, he has the leader of the Divine Punishment and the chief of staff to take care of him, and with the addition of Mohammed, Robin no longer feels lonely.
However, the first thing Robin said when he saw Luke was: "Mr. Ghost, I want to join the Divine Punishment."
Luke did not refuse Robin's request, and immediately arranged him to the First Division of Divine Punishment in the Grand Line, and asked Fuya to make a mask with an ancient book painted on it according to her requirements, codenamed "Ancient Book".
And tell Robin that in addition to fulfilling his duties as Divine Punishment Officer, he can do whatever he wants without having to worry about anything because the entire Divine Punishment Army will support him.
Hearing Lu Kai's words, Robin smiled brightly and nodded vigorously.
Today, Robin's attribute value has reached 7426, and it is still increasing steadily. After entering the Grand Line, it may increase even faster because she needs to fight here, which will stimulate her further growth.
Luke doesn't know whether Robin will join the Straw Hat Pirates by chance in the future, but it is highly likely that he will not see this scene. The fate of many people has been changed because of Luke.
Afterwards, Luke went to the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army again, had a secret talk with Luffy's father Dragon, and visited many members of the Divine Punishment Society. While traveling around the world, he also did everything he needed to do.
Lu Kai was having a great time, but the Navy Headquarters was in chaos.
After meeting with Sakaski, Garp immediately returned to the Marine Headquarters, found Vice Admiral Sengoku and Tsuru, and told them what Sakaski had said.
Zhan Guo and Lieutenant General He He were already extremely dissatisfied with the expulsion of Lu Kai and were secretly investigating. After hearing the detailed evidence, Zhan Guo was furious.
For various reasons, Sengoku's loyalty to the World Government is far less than before. At this moment, he only wants to clear Luke's grievances and expose Zephyr's conspiracy.
During the month that Luke left the headquarters, Zephyr returned to the Marine Headquarters as soon as possible and showed his fangs.
Seeing Zefa return to the Marine Headquarters, many naval generals who were once Zefa's students were extremely excited and formed a huge group in a short period of time.
This group, together with the trusted members cultivated over the years of the Warring States Period and the soldiers who always supported and admired Lu Kai, each formed a faction, forming a three-way balance of power.
Because Zefa had been secretly forming cliques and factions before, and had the support of the Five Elder Stars behind him, his sudden exposure caught everyone off guard, and he actually had the upper hand in terms of form.
The ones who were most disadvantaged were those who supported Lu Kai. Although they had the same idea in their hearts and were very determined, because Lu Kai was not there, there was no one who stood up clearly, and the group seemed to lack cohesion.
Just when these people were vaguely intending to get closer to Su Luo, Zefa immediately asked his generals to bombard Su Luo with the affairs of Sabin and Luke, saying that he was likely to be a person punished by God, and forced Zhan Guo to investigate Su Luo.
After Zhan Guo clearly refused and there was no definite evidence to prove that Su Luo was related to the divine punishment, Zefa simply fabricated some trumped-up charges and prepared to detain Su Luo first and then try him.
In anger, Su Luo chose the same path as Lu Kai and left the Navy Headquarters. Before leaving, he rescued Sabine who had just been escorted back to the headquarters.
