From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

"Is he among the people on the island?" Diarmait asked.

"There shouldn't be... No, how could there be such a big shot in a place like ours?" the mayor said quickly.

Diarmait sighed and slapped the mayor in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"You useless fellow! The whole town only has a few thousand people, and you can't even recognize them all. How can you be mayor? You're just sitting there doing nothing." Diarmait said with disgust. Then, pointing to a few vendors at the harbor, he said, "Go and bring those to me."

Soon, several navy officers brought the vendors over. They were almost scared to death because they had just seen this big shot in the navy slap the mayor so hard that he fainted...

Why did they come here? Were they going to be killed?

"Sir, we have never broken the law..." the peddler cried out quickly.

Diarmait threw the bounty over and said, "Look, is there anyone on the island looking for this person?" "Hmm?" The vendor took a look and said, "It's Golu! It's definitely him!"

"Gulu?" Diarmait smiled. It seemed that Roger was really on this island.

Stusi on the side also showed a hint of surprise and excitement, it really is there!

Chapter 71: Life would be so lonely if there were no regrets. (Updated rd)

As for Roger, as soon as he rushed back home, he saw Lu Jiu cooking.

"Why did you come back so early today? Are you feeling unwell again?" Lu Jiu turned around in surprise.

Roger put the package in his hand at the door and looked at Lu Jiu without saying a word.

Lu Jiu seemed to have noticed something. She was silent for a while, and tears flowed from her eyes.

Only then did Roger smile and say, "Eat first!"

"Okay." Lu Jiu nodded.

Soon, plates of hot dishes were placed on the table. Roger and Lu Jiu sat opposite each other. Neither of them spoke and started eating quietly.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, two years have passed." Roger suddenly said with some emotion.

Lu Jiu forced a smile and said, "Yeah, very fast."

"I'm leaving." Roger said suddenly.

The smile on Lu Jiu's face froze for a moment. With trembling fingers, she picked up a piece of food for Roger with her chopsticks, and then said, "Yeah, I understand."

Seeing Lu Jiu pretending to be strong, Roger felt a surge of self-blame in his heart and couldn't help but say, "If I hadn't left back then, we..."

But before he could finish his words, Lu Jiu shook her head and said, "Roger, the you I like is the you who gallops across the sea, never gives up, and forges ahead courageously. If you were not the you you are now, I would definitely not like you."

After a brief pause, Lu Jiu smiled again and said, "You are the indomitable Pirate King. Wouldn't it be too boring on this ocean without you? How could I bear to leave a man like you all alone by my side?"

"Hahahahahaha." Roger laughed loudly, then swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "You're right. Two years ago, I told that guy Whitebeard that I had no regrets in my life. But now, I suddenly realized that I was wrong. If life had no regrets, wouldn't it be too lonely? I regret it now. I regret not coming back earlier to spend this simple and happy life with you..."

"It's good that you can come back." Lu Jiu said softly.

Roger didn't say anything. He took two more mouthfuls of rice, looked at Lu Jiu, and said softly, "I was thinking that if I could hold on a little longer, I could wait for our child to be born so that I could see him, even just once. That would satisfy me. But now, I don't think I can wait for that time."

"Is it serious again?" Lu Jiu asked worriedly.

"Well, it's serious. We can't delay it any longer. Besides, people from the Navy Headquarters are here. I don't know if they are looking for me, but I have a bad feeling." Roger nodded.

He had no intention of saying more to Lu Jiu. After a brief pause, he smiled and said, "What should we name the child?"

"You are the father of the child, so of course I have to listen to your opinion." Lu Jiu touched her belly and said softly.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

"If it's a boy, let's call him Ace, Gol. D. Ace, ACE...Ace! If it's a girl, let's call her Ann. I hope she can be as happy as a princess." Roger said with a smile.

It can be seen that he has been thinking about these two names for a long time. They are not just spoken casually, but are carefully considered.

"Ace and Princess?" Lu Jiu murmured softly, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Just then, there was a knock on the door not far away.

Someone outside the door said, "Are you home? Is Roger home? Hello?"

Roger's face changed and became extremely ugly.

He originally thought that there was only one warship coming to the port, and it was most likely not coming to find him. Even if it was, it would take some time, right?

Thinking of having one last meal with Lu Jiu and chatting with her for a few last words, he was willing to leave.

Unexpectedly, his final reluctance would harm Lu Jiu.

If the navy discovered that he, the Pirate King, had a wife, and even that she was pregnant... Roger would never believe that the World Government would let his bloodline go.

Lu Jiu looked at Roger and sighed. What is coming will eventually come.

As a pirate, some debts must be repaid.

She stood up, walked to the door and opened it gently.

Sure enough, there was a marine standing at the door, but strangely, he was the only one there.

The sailor had a tough and handsome face, and looked to be in his twenties. He was wearing a cloak of justice and the shoulder straps of a lieutenant general.

When Diarmuid saw someone opening the door, he recognized the woman in front of him at a glance. It was Roger's wife, Luju.

To be honest, he had no ill feelings towards Roger, nor did he have any good feelings towards him.

For someone like Roger, he can be called a hero among heroes, but there is no need to evaluate him. After all, he is a pirate and his hands are stained with blood.

However, Diarmait had great admiration for Luju.

One is admiration. She was able to conquer a man like Roger, which was something that 99% of women in the world could not do.

The second is admiration. She is a strong mother who was able to carry Ace in her belly for twenty months and avoid the attacks of the navy and the world government.

It is hard not to admire such a woman.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Diarmait, and I'm a vice admiral at the headquarters of the navy. I'm here to look for Roger." Diarmait said with a gentle smile on his face.

Lu Jiu looked at Diarmait with some surprise. She had imagined the scene of the navy coming many times, and there were all kinds of situations, but this one was the only one.

This navy guy spoke as if he was just visiting...

There was no way to avoid it, so Lu Jiu nodded and said, "Hello, my name is Lu Jiu, I am Roger's wife, please come in."

“Thank you.” Diarmait nodded.

Then he walked into the room and looked at it curiously. There was nothing special about it, just ordinary, but it gave off a warm feeling.

One Piece. Did Roger spend the last two years of his life here?

After walking a few steps and passing the corridor, I saw Roger eating at the dining table. The guy didn't even turn his head, as if eating was the most important thing.

"Hahahaha, Roger, you really are here." Diarmait laughed.

It was as if he and Roger had known each other for a long time and were good friends.

After hearing Diarmait's voice, Roger slowly turned around and looked at this somewhat unfamiliar navy man. He was sure that they had never met before.

"Who are you?" Roger asked.

"Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. Rodriguez. Diarmait, you can just call me Diarmait." Diarmait responded with a smile.

As he spoke, he walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, sat down directly, rubbed his stomach and said, "Come to think of it, I've been running on the sea for half a day and haven't eaten yet." At this moment, Lu Jiu also walked in and said, "Why don't we eat together?" "Hahaha, thank you very much." Diarmait said bluntly.

Roger snorted in dissatisfaction, but for some reason, he soon started laughing again.

Instead of fighting him right away, why didn't you ask for food first?

This navy is quite interesting.

"Is Raftelur fun?" Diarmait asked, pouring himself a glass of water. Roger glanced at him and said, "Very interesting."

"Really?" Diarmait smacked his lips, then said, "That's amazing! No one has been able to conquer the Grand Line for hundreds or thousands of years, but you actually did it." As he said this, Luju also served him a bowl of rice. Diarmait thanked him, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

"I'm a man who can do whatever I want." Roger smiled and said... ...Please give me flowers.

"Incredible." Diarmait praised.

Regardless of whether Roger was good or bad, judging by his conquest of the Grand Line, he was indeed incredibly impressive and worthy of praise. After taking a few bites, Diarmait looked at Luju and said, "It seems you've had a very happy time these past two years..." "Yeah," Roger replied without further explanation. After a brief pause, Roger spoke up, "Di..." "Diarmait," Diarmait repeated. "Well, Diarmait, since you knew I was here, why did you dare to come here alone? Are you too confident in your own abilities? I've never heard of you before," Roger asked.

He was really confused. Maybe there was something wrong with the navy in front of him?

Even stranger than Cap!

"Maybe it's because I'm not famous yet, so you haven't heard of me. But it doesn't matter. After I capture you, you will definitely become famous all over the world... Hahahaha." Diarmait laughed.

"You're really confident." Roger said softly.

"Well, you are about to die after all." Diarmait said suddenly.

As soon as he finished speaking, both Roger and Lu Jiu were stunned.

"You don't think you can hide it from our navy, do you? I forgot to tell you that not long ago, I was the deputy director of the intelligence department of the Navy Headquarters. For nearly three years, I have been dealing with the problems of your Roger Pirates. The reason why the navy reacted so quickly to your affairs is because I had made a judgment long before you reached the top, and I also predicted that you would disband the Roger Pirates..." Diarmait said very calmly.

Roger raised his eyebrows and said, "That's really amazing."

Diarmait didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Luju and said, "What I didn't expect was that you actually had a wife... and your wife is pregnant. Roger, you bastard, you are really so wicked. Don't you have any sense of responsibility at all?"

Roger was scolded by Diarmait. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Because Diarmait was right to scold him, he was just an irresponsible bastard.

At least that's the case with Lu Jiu.

"Oh, this is really troublesome. I thought I could take you away by coming here, but I didn't expect you to get two more gifts for me..." Diarmait scratched his head and said helplessly.

Roger tightened the chopsticks in his hand, and a faint murderous aura enveloped Diarmait.

But Diarmait pretended not to notice and continued, "I hope you won't make it difficult for me."

Roger was stunned for a moment, then said, "I am guilty, no doubt. As a pirate, it is a crime no matter what. Although I consider myself to be relatively upright, I have indeed killed many innocent people. Even if I have to die, it is what I deserve. But Lu Jiu and the unborn child are not guilty, right? As a navy, you should at least be worthy of the justice in your body, right?"

"I have been sheltering you, the Pirate King, for two years, so I can be treated as guilty of the same crime." Diarmuid said softly.

Roger was choked and didn't know how to start for a moment.

“But you are right, the child is innocent. In this world, people should never judge others based on their bloodline. This is indeed an unjust act.” Diarmait said in a deep voice.

He may not be very just, but that doesn't mean Diarmuid has no bottom line.

He might feel pity for Roger, but he would never sympathize with him. However, as for Luju and the unborn child in her belly, Diarmait really didn't think they deserved to die.
