Chapter 908 Portgas D. Ace (6)
Roger was so angry that he wanted to fight Whitebeard on the spot, but was stopped by Lu Jiu, who kept trying to persuade him. She smiled embarrassedly at Yun Ci and said goodbye while grabbing Roger's ear.
Yun Ci, who was satisfied with the "good show", paused the repair work of "Ace" and went to get Roger and Lu Jiu's summons to make them into cards.
This will be a little safer.
The night is getting darker.
The island was gently pushed away by the waves, but it was so stable that the people on the island didn't notice it at all.
after a while.
"Isn't this my 'Ace'?"
"Yes, this was originally the 'summoning' I found. Sorry for letting the owl go...but we used an item to teleport out, we didn't dig it up."
Roger waved his hand nonchalantly.
"It's okay, but I didn't expect to get to hold 'Ace' again."
Roger was filled with emotion and became very excited, so he went downstairs to find someone to fight with.
Because the building has good sound insulation, Yunci couldn't hear any sound at all from the front.
Including the vibrations from their fight, not a single bit of it was transmitted to where Yun Ci was.
Everything in front is running smoothly.
until.
The owl that Yunci sent to follow Ace came back with the news that Ace was defeated by the Dark-Dark Fruit and was taken by Teach as a gift to the navy.
At that time, Lu Jiu was picking flowers next to Yun Ci. Although it was not the first time she saw the magical scene of Yun Ci talking to an owl, she still felt very surprised.
Yun Ci adjusted her expression and looked at Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu said a little slower: "Is there any news about Ace?"
Yun Ci nodded.
“Not good news.”
Reiju's lips trembled and she clenched the flower basket in her hand tightly.
"I've already prepared myself for this." She closed her eyes and said, "Is Ace..."
"It's not that serious. He was just caught by the navy. We still have a chance."
When Rocks and the others heard that they were going to cause trouble for the navy, they responded excitedly.
"Little boss, there's no one here who dares to cause trouble. There's no chance for us to be of any use. Now we can finally have a fight!"
"Although we are going to save Roger's son..."
Roger looked at Yun Ci gratefully and ordered her to change direction and head towards the underwater prison where Ace was sent.
"Thank you, young boss. This is a bonus deal. If there is anything else you want me to do, just let me know!"
"Ace is also my client. Besides our relationship, it would be awkward to say these things."
"That's different. You have no reason to save Ace." Roger shook his head, "But we are already dead. Maybe where you want our help... we can't help either."
Roger slapped his head and said, "Let's put it this way! Ace is my son, you ask him to return it! Anyway, this time we are going to save him——"
'Snapped! '
Lu Jiu decisively slapped the irrational Roger on the back.
Roger was beaten so hard that he let out a cry and became speechless.
Yun Ci shook her head helplessly and turned back to her room.
The island was moving forward at a steady pace.
Ace's unscrupulous father suggested that Ace should be taught a lesson, so there is no need to rush to rescue him and let him stay in the underwater prison for a few more days.
Although Lu Jiu had different opinions at first, she was quickly persuaded by Roger.
As a pirate, if you don't want to be caught by the navy, you must work hard to become stronger.
Although Ace was captured this time because of the devil fruit, the bottom line is that he was not strong enough!
"——If he was strong enough, how could he be caught?" Roger put his arm around Lu Jiu's shoulders and comforted her, "Lu Jiu, this is the path Ace has chosen. There is no reason for him to leave halfway. He must continue on this path."
Being a pirate is such a dangerous path.
Lu Jiu was silent.
She chose to ignore it.
But when she sees Ace, she's going to give her son a big hug.
Although, her body now was not warm enough, and was even very cold, and perhaps a little unreal.
But it’s also love from a mother.
It was not until the Navy announced that the son of Pirate King Gol D. Roger would be publicly executed that they began to speed up.
The movement of the island was too obvious, but because the other party often floated like this, the Undersea Prison did not take the arrival of the intelligence dealer seriously at first. They are now wholeheartedly dealing with the upcoming Shichibukai Empress.
Little do they know that on this island that they have ignored, there are countless people lurking, whose appearance alone would shake the whole world.
But now, they appear together.
Xiao Ai could already imagine how shocked and unbelievable the navy would be when they discovered them.
In order to see such a scene, she even talked to Yun Ci and stopped taking the acting class she had signed up for for a few days.
[Oh no, the navy has already moved Ace away. ]
"…What's wrong with this? Didn't we already know this would happen?"
The Navy's action time has always been much earlier than what they announced, in order to avoid accidents.
[Oh, wouldn't it be more appropriate to shout? ]
Xiao Ai rubbed her hands excitedly.
[However, it would be more interesting if these big guys appeared during the war at the top. ]
Yun Ci was too lazy to pay attention to her. When they were approaching the underwater prison, she deliberately let the small owl run over there.
“They acted ahead of schedule.”
Roger was wiping Ace with a handkerchief, and upon hearing this, he simply said, "As long as you're still alive, there's a chance."
"Then let's discuss a plan."
It is definitely not feasible to rescue people by riding on a large island, and it is also inconvenient to leave.
“So I planned to sneak in alone.”
“How can this be——”
Yun Ci raised her hand and said, "Listen to me first."
"If you show up too early, the navy will definitely be alerted. They might even execute you directly, which will be detrimental to our efforts to save Ace."
"So, at least we need to have someone from our team by Ace's side, or when I get to Ace's execution platform—"
Reiju replied, "Now is the time for us to act."
"We? Lu Jiu, are you going too?"
"Of course! He's my son!"
"I also think it would be better if Lu Jiu was here." Yun Ci said tactfully, "Ace... doesn't like you very much."
Roger's body froze instantly. He looked at Yun Ci in disbelief. He even raised his finger and pointed at himself, with a look of shock on his face: "Don't like me? Me?"
Yun Ci nodded.
"When he was a kid, before he met Luffy and Sabo, he didn't have a good life."
"and……"
Yun Ci looked at Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu pursed her lips and raised her hand to push her hair behind her ear.
"I'll tell you the rest. When I was pregnant with Ace—"
The Navy wanted to "cut off Roger's bloodline", knowing the secret of the Pirate King for a hundred years, so almost all the pregnant women at that time were forced by the Navy to have abortions.
In order to give birth to Roger's bloodline, Lu Jiu kept little Ace in her belly for 20 months, and finally died of exhaustion. She suffered a lot...
