"Are you Portgas D. Luju? I'm Roger's friend." Garp said as he looked at the very weak woman sitting on the bed. This woman was almost different from the Luju he saw in the photo. She couldn't be described as thin anymore. She was skinny and strong in front of her.

"Are you, Vice Admiral Garp?" Luju's eyes were a little cloudy, but she still tried her best to see who was coming. When she saw that it was Garp, Luju breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

"What's the child's name?" Garp asked as he stepped forward. He didn't say anything about taking both of them away, because he had already seen that Luju was exhausted and could not be saved. She relied on her willpower to force the baby to stay in her body for more than 20 months. This almost impossible thing was done by Luju, but the consumption of 20 months to provide for the child, coupled with the constant transfer of places to avoid pursuit, had completely exhausted Luju's last bit of physical strength.

"Ace, it's a boy. Roger and I discussed that if it's a girl, we'll call her An, and if it's a boy, we'll call him Ace. Gol D. Ace, this is the name of this child." Lu Jiu stretched out her arm and gently stroked the baby beside her. The child didn't cry, but lay there, breathing evenly, obviously asleep.

"I'll change his name. The people of the World Government will not allow Gol D to appear." Garp picked up the child and said to Lu Jiu without any concealment.

"I can guess. Can I ask you for one more thing?" Lu Jiu nodded with difficulty and asked.

"Go ahead, just don't go too far." Garp said seemingly casually.

"If possible, please don't tell this child about his life experience, at least before he comes of age." Lu Jiu was obviously out of strength when she said the last sentence. Her voice could be called a moan. If it weren't for Garp's strength that made his five senses far superior to ordinary people, he couldn't hear what Lu Jiu was saying at all.

"Okay, I promise you." Garp nodded. He didn't know if it was right or not, but this was a mother's last request, and he really couldn't refuse.

"Thank you, grow up well, Ace." Lu Jiu thanked her for the last time, and turned to look at Ace with such difficulty. After making the last blessing for her child, Lu Jiu slowly closed her eyes.

Perhaps it was an illusion before death, Lu Jiu heard the familiar laughter for a long time, accompanied by a touch of red. It was a coat, the one Roger wore before leaving, and then came the silly face with a smile, and two tufts of nose hair or beard that could not be distinguished.

"Here you are, Lu Jiu, thank you for your hard work, and I'm sorry for your injustice." Roger's voice seemed to have reverberation, but no matter what, Lu Jiu could still tell that it was Roger's voice.

"I'm here, Roger, Ace is born." Lu Jiu's voice became powerful and a little playful. This was Lu Jiu's real voice.

"I know, I really wronged you. If I hadn't insisted on doing this, you wouldn't have to work so hard." Before Roger finished speaking, he was blocked by Lu Jiu's fingers.

"This is my choice, big fool, I don't blame you, after all, you are also for that future, right?" Lu Jiu said with a smile, her smile was still so warm, and Roger fell in such a smile.

"Okay, I can't argue with you, but do you think our son will be the one who leads the world?" Roger smiled and shook his head, and didn't continue the topic just now.

"I don't care whether Ace will be the one who leads the world. As long as he can grow up healthily and live happily, I will be satisfied. As for whether he can lead the world, if I say, I would rather he is an ordinary person. Compared with how promising he is, I hope he can be safe and stable." Lu Jiu holds the most simple wish as a mother. She doesn't ask her children to be rich and powerful, but only asks him to live happily.

"I hope so too. After all, the price of leading the world is very high. Compared with Ace, I hope that little brat Kaido can succeed. As for Ace, I can only wish our child the best. I hope he can live the life he wants, and I hope he can forgive me, an unreliable father." Roger sighed. He obviously didn't need to breathe at all in his current state, but he still felt that he needed to sigh at this time.

"I don't think Ace will blame you, but Vice Admiral Garp may take Ace to be a navy." Lu Jiu said with a smile. She has completely adapted to this state. Maybe this is a dream, but it is so good to see Roger that she didn't bother about it at all.

"Hahahaha, then go ahead. As my son, even if he is a navy, I believe he will not become a running dog of the World Government, but a real man!" Roger laughed. All he can do is to give Ace a relatively good future environment as much as possible. As for the result, he can only leave it to fate, but he believes that his son will never become the kind of person who obeys the World Government.

"I hope so." Lu Jiu sighed. When she wasn't paying attention, the scene around her had changed. A dreamlike scene enveloped them. An invisible pair of hands were supporting her and moving her towards an unknown direction. Roger and Lu Jiu were still talking, but they were getting farther and farther away from the world of the living.

Looking at Lu Jiu who had lost her life force, Karp felt a little uncomfortable. Although he was used to seeing death, he still couldn't ignore this kind of death. This was the love of a mother for her child, and this little guy in the cradle didn't know anything, and was still sleeping soundly, with the snot bubbles on his nose expanding and shrinking.

"Alas." Karp sighed and looked at the midwife who was still sitting on the ground.

"Can you help me take her luggage?" Karp said.

"Okay, okay." The nurse stood up in a panic, ran out in a hurry, and soon brought back a cowhide bag and put it in front of Karp.

Garp took it, thanked him, and opened the bag. The first thing that caught his eye was various baby products, including children's clothes, bottles, etc. Lu Jiu had prepared these before. In a very inconspicuous corner on the side of the bag, Garp found a photo. It was a photo of two people, but unfortunately it was torn in the middle. Only Lu Jiu was smiling at the camera. As for the other person in the photo, the only thing that could be seen was an arm and a big hand that passed through Lu Jiu's shoulder. From the cuffs, the person was wearing a white shirt, and the unbuttoned cuffs looked a little messy.

Garp knew that it was Roger. As an opponent for many years, Garp was very familiar with Roger, and he could tell from the calluses on his palms.

"Keep it, at least let this child have something to think about." Garp put the photo in his arms, ready to give it to Ace when he grows up. Now he needs to take care of Lu Jiu's funeral. It is impossible to bury him with Roger. After all, the World Government has never given up looking for Roger's bloodline in these years. Even if so many people have been killed, the World Government is still worried. He can't go to the World Government to send clues, so he can only bury him hastily on this island.

Fortunately, the scenery of this island is not bad. Lu Jiu should like it, right? Forget it. He didn't say a few words to Lu Jiu in total. Don't worry about it. After the funeral is over, Garp carried Ace on his ship.

"Is this child the purpose of this trip? Vice Admiral Garp." Garp's adjutant Bogard asked.

"Yes, an old friend's child, I adopted him and plan to treat him as my grandson, hahahahahaha." Garp laughed loudly, but I don't know how much laughter there is in this laughter.

"Okay, let's go to Windmill Town in the East China Sea and find someone to take care of this child." Garp said.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, Vice Admiral Garp, Marshal Kong personally ordered us to return to the Navy Headquarters immediately. It is said that there is something important to say." Bogard said.

"Hey!!! Why is this? I asked for annual leave!" Garp looked at Bogard in amazement.

"Marshal Kong's order, in fact, we should have set off yesterday. I have delayed for a day. Marshal Kong said that we must go back no matter what this time. The annual leave can be made up next time." Bogard spread his hands, indicating that it was not his fault.

"This, this, this." Garp looked at Ace who was pregnant and had a headache.

"Give the order, Vice Admiral Garp." Bogard said directly as if he didn't see Garp's embarrassment.

"Forget it, go back to the headquarters!" Garp nodded as if he had accepted his fate, and reluctantly issued the order to return. Next, let's take it one step at a time.
