Just like that, a month passed. Yu Xue had completely recovered to his peak state in this month's time. Not only that, but he had also improved a lot.
However, what made him feel strange was that in this one month, two groups of people who claimed to be from the navy came. They went door to door to look for pregnant women and asked for registration. They seemed to be observing something and calculating the time.
Naturally, Lujiu was also questioned and registered. Fortunately, Yuxue was at home. The navy, who did not understand the situation, thought that Yuxue was Lujiu's man. The age disparity between the two made their gazes become obscene.
On this day, after sending off another batch of navy soldiers who had calculated the time to register, Yu Xue realized that Lujiu was missing, so he followed the unique fragrance on Lujiu's body to find her.
Finally, he found Lu Jiu on a hill. She was gently stroking her big belly and mumbling something. Yu Xue didn't alert Lu Jiu. With his sensitive ears, he just stood quietly not far away.
“。。。The child…Persevere…But now... You can't be born yet..."
After a while, when she slowly turned around and was about to go home, she saw Yu Xue not far away and was immediately stunned.
Yu Xue spread his hands.
“。。。Looking for you…Eat…"
Lujiu took a deep look at Yuxue. After spending more than a month with him, she was almost sure that Yuxue was not from the navy or the World Government. Although Yuxue was very strange and looked very young, he behaved like an adult. However, she could feel that Yuxue was a good person.
"You heard everything?"
Yu Xue was stunned for a moment before he finally nodded.
Lujiu smiled bitterly and sat down on the grass.
"As you can see, the navy has begun a large-scale search for pregnant women. It's very dangerous here. You'd better leave quickly.。。I don't want to implicate you..."
Lujiu's words revealed too much information. Since they had already spoken, there was nothing to hide. Yu Xue immediately asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"The navy is here for you, right? Why were they looking for pregnant women? Judging from how they calculated the time, it seemed like they were waiting for the birth of a child! Why is that?"
Lujiu laughed.
"This is the first time you've said so much in one go. Hehe." Yu
Xue was stunned and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Lujiu was also conflicted. She didn't know if she should tell Yu Xue. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"He died, but... However, there were still many people in this world who were afraid of him. People wanted to exterminate the last bit of his bloodline.。。”
"Who is he?" This made Yu Xue even more curious. Who was it that could attract such a huge commotion, even after death?
“。。。His name was Roger! It's what people call... One Piece King…"
"What?!"
Yu Xue cried out. He finally understood why his body had changed, why the navy was searching for him, why Lu Jiu's belly was so big but there were no signs of labor, and why Lu Jiu's name came about.。。
Yu Xue was dumbfounded. He did not expect that he would actually come to a two-dimensional world, One Piece! He had watched this anime before when he had nothing to do. No wonder.。。No wonder...
If this was true, then according to the timeline, Roger had died more than half a year ago. In other words, this was 20 years before the plot began?!
Lu Jiu looked at Yu Xue strangely. She saw that Yu Xue sometimes smiled bitterly, sometimes shook his head, sometimes happy and sometimes sad. For a moment, she couldn't figure out what Yu Xue was thinking.
“。。。Stagnated blood? I... Can I trust you?"
Lujiu had learned about Yu Xue's name some time ago. Since the truth had been revealed, Lujiu decided to go all out.
Yu Xue was awakened by Lu Jiu's voice and nodded very seriously.
Lujiu sighed and said.
"According to my calculations, I should have given birth a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now. I keep taking medicine because I'm afraid that the child will be captured by the navy once it's born.。。I can't see this happen.。。But... However, I could clearly feel that I couldn't hold on for much longer.。。”
Yu Xue understood that in the original novel, Lujiu was pregnant with Ace for 20 months before giving birth. In the end, she died of exhaustion. This was a great mother.
She was already 12 months pregnant. If the plot continued, she would die in eight months!
Since he knew about it, Yu Xue could not let this happen. Not to mention that Lu Jiu had saved his life, even if it was for the sake of taking care of her for more than a month, he could not just watch her die.
"We can't drag this out! Hurry up and give birth. If you trust me, I'll take the child away. When it's safe, I'll bring it back to you!”
Lujiu looked at the blood in a daze. She did not say anything, but slowly got up and went home. The blood silently followed behind her.
Another three months had passed, and Lujiu finally made up her mind to give birth!
This was destined to be an extraordinary night. Under the wind and rain, lightning and thunder, under the delivery of the big man Yu Xue, Portacas D. Ace was born!
Looking at the baby who was still swaddled and could not open his eyes, the light of Lujiu's motherly nature lit up the entire house at this moment.
“。。。The child…You... You'll be called... Ace Bar, a Reunion
After a while, she looked at Yu Xue, who had just finished cleaning up the scene, and her voice began to weaken.
“。。。Stasis of blood. There's a layer of... There were the ones left behind by Roger…Things…Thank you... Thank you…"
Yu Xue was stunned for a moment before he rushed to Lu Jiu's side. However, he saw Lu Jiu slowly closing her eyes and her breathing gradually stopping.
Yu Xue used all his methods, but he could only watch as Lujiu's body gradually turned cold. A wave of sadness surged in his heart. He did not expect that in the end, he still could not save Lujiu.
Following the guidance of Lujiu's finger, Yu Xue successfully found the mezzanines of the floor. There was a strange fruit lying quietly there.
"Hiss ~ Could this be the Burning Fruit?!”
Just as Yu Xue was bewildered, loud footsteps and shouts came from outside.
"Hurry, hurry! Surround this side! There was the sound of a child crying! Hurry!"
Yu Xue was shocked. He didn't expect the navy to move so quickly. He looked at Lujiu, who was still smiling even though she was dead, and the baby Ace, who was already sleeping soundly.
Yu Xue gritted his teeth and found a long piece of cloth. He tied Ace firmly to his waist and tied the Devil's Fruit to his waist. Finally, he pulled out a dagger that he had recently polished from his boots.
After taking a deep look at the body, Yu Xue brought Ace out of the room, leaving behind a solemn promise.
"Lujiu! Don't worry! I will definitely raise Ace!"
