Pirate Journalist

Chapter 45 Portgas D. Loujiu
Jingle Jingle!

Hogg never thought that he, the colonel of the South China Sea branch, would one day receive a call from the supreme leader of the navy, Marshal Kong.

Upon waking up, the phone bug by the bedside turned into a unique shape of steel bone hollow.

He pressed his hand on the microphone, hesitating a little, is he still dreaming?

The phone bug kept ringing, but he decided to pick it up anyway.

"It's Colonel Hogg who is in charge of investigating Roger's bloodline!?" A slightly depressed voice came.

"I'm Hogg! Are you... Marshal Kong?" Hogg's excited voice sounded.

He had a little understanding, it turned out that he came here for the blood of One Piece.

Marshal Kong must have attached great importance to this matter.

He thinks that he has been doing well at this time, and he can report to the marshal with his chest up.

However, Kong on the other side of the microphone heard Hogg's promised voice, and his suppressed voice poured out like a flood: "Where's the safety awareness you learned in the navy!? You've been fed to the dogs!?"

"Huh?" Hogg looked confused.

"I didn't even know it was touched into the office! Even the order document I signed was stolen, where did you let the navy go!?"

"What!? How is it possible!" Hogg looked terrified.

"Read the newspaper yourself, and then check it for me! Before the replacement officer arrives, stand on the last post for me!"

Snapped!
The phone hangs heavily.

There was also the faint sound of the desk breaking.

When Hogg heard this sound, it felt like the whole sky was falling down.

Then, he didn't have time to change into his pajamas, so he broke into the bedroom and rushed to the office.

……

Navy Headquarters.

Steel Gu Kong held his head with a headache on his face.

This year has had enough troubles, and this time a particularly violent one came, and it was directly aimed at the navy.

He really wanted to smash the phone bug that still had a trace of life in his hand on Morgans' face, and ask that fat homing pigeon, who gave it the courage.

But this is not the most important thing, Morgans postponed the processing in advance.

He picked up the phone again.

"Eugene, have you read the news! You are now flying to Balti-La Island in the South China Sea as fast as you can to take over that trash Hogg."

"Yes!" Eugene said.

"At the critical juncture of investigating Roger's blood, this kind of thing happened. This is someone trying to use the power of public opinion to stop the navy. There must be something wrong with that island. Control the entire island and not let a single person go!"

After Kongfa went too far, he had recovered his composure, with a shrewd look in his eyes, and ordered Eugene orderly.

"clear."

"Okay, let's go, let's go now."

After the empty confession, put down the phone.

Jingle bells!
The bell rang.

Sora looked down, but there was no change in the appearance of the phone bug.

"I'm not the only one who discovered the anomaly."

He muttered something to himself and picked up the phone again.

……

Murphy stood on top of a big tree with deep roots and lush leaves, looking at a house below.

Through the window, I could see only one woman in the house, sitting on a recliner, flipping through today's newspaper.

She is Roger's wife, Portgas D. Loujo.

She was obviously about ten months pregnant, so she should have a big belly, but her figure showed no signs of pregnancy at all.

At this moment, Lu Jiu looked at the headlines on the front page of the newspaper, with the expression on her face flickering.

She looked at the photos in the newspaper with a look of guilt, and then looked at the navy's order documents with a look of horror.

Gently stroking her belly, in an instant, her eyes were full of determination, and her face shone with the brilliance of maternal love.

"Seeing the newspaper, what do you think?" A crisp voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Lu Jiu shook her hand holding the newspaper, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and her face returned to normal in a blink of an eye.

She looked up at the place where the sound came from, and saw a figure shorter than her, wearing a hood, so she couldn't see her face clearly.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my house!" Lu Jiu did not answer Murphy's question, but asked with a look of guard.

"The Navy is looking for Roger's blood, and there will be batches of innocent women and newborn babies who will be shot to death because they can't clear their suspicions. Can you bear it? Portgas D. Loujiu."

Murphy also did not answer Lu Jiu's question, but directly called out Lu Jiu's full name.

"Although you know me, I don't know you, and I don't understand what you're talking about. Please get out! If you don't get out, I'll call someone!" Lu Jiu raised her voice, showing that she was broken into by a stranger at the right time. The reaction of the woman who entered the home.

However, Murphy could still clearly see that Lu Jiu was holding the chair very hard.

"It's really strange. She has been pregnant for such a long time, but there is no trace of her stomach. What a great mother!"

Murphy praised Lu Jiu, then changed the topic, and continued: "However, because of this, I think you understand mother's feelings for children better than anyone else. In this month alone, 60 babies will be checked in this city." , most of them will die because they cannot clear their suspicions, and their mothers will also die together."

"You! What do you mean? What does this have to do with me? Please get out! Get out!" Lu Jiu's face gradually turned pale.

The fear in her heart began to be unbearable.

Murphy's scary words were just one of them, but what made her even more terrified was that this person even knew that she had concealed her pregnancy, which meant that she had been completely exposed.

"You still don't admit it?" Murphy said lightly.

Lu Jiu's expression changed several times, but finally returned to calm slowly.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my house." She asked the same sentence again, but the meaning was completely different.

Lu Jiu gradually felt that this person had another purpose, not a navy or a pirate who came here for revenge.

Otherwise, why didn't he come up to catch her or kill her immediately after confirming her identity.

"It's good if you can talk calmly. My name is Murphy, and there is no malice." In order to increase credibility, Murphy simply lifted the hood to reveal his delicate face.

Then he continued: "You haven't answered my question yet, do you have the heart for those innocent people to die in vain?"

Lu Jiu was surprised to find that this mysterious person was still a teenager.

But no one can take the life of her child.

In an instant, she took out a pistol that she had prepared a long time ago from under the recliner, and pointed it at Murphy: "Although I really don't want to involve so many people, but there is no other way. I will not back down for the sake of the child. They're coming, I can only shoot!"

Lu Jiu's voice was full of tenacity and dedication. She was undoubtedly the kind of mother who wanted to keep her child alive even if she sacrificed the entire island.

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Murphy's thoughts raced.

Now that he has decided to save those innocent people, he will not neglect this matter.

At the same time, during the rescue, he would not allow his due interests to be damaged.

He thought carefully about the stakes of hitting the rescue plan.

The first thing that comes to mind is to kill all the navy.

But after thinking about it, I knew that this method was useless.

Doing so will only make the world government aware of the unusualness of this island, and then send more and stronger navies.

At that time, the tragedy may even spread to the entire island.

If someone like Akainu came, it would not be surprising that the island would be destroyed by then.

This is not done by brute force.

He also thought of saving all the suspects.

Just doing it doesn't work either.

The island will still be affected.

It will not be much better than the situation encountered after killing the navy.

The most important thing is that he finds it troublesome.

Then he thought of influencing the behavior of the Navy through public opinion.

If it is possible in some small matters, but in matters such as the blood of One Piece, the navy cannot back down.

Many methods were rejected by Murphy.

In the end, there was only one way.

"As long as the navy knows of your existence, there is no reason to kill innocent people indiscriminately." Murphy lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

Lu Jiu was taken aback suddenly. Seeing Murphy's indifferent look, she felt ruthless in her heart, and her eyes showed apology.

Once her identity is revealed, the navy will immediately come to arrest her!
and so.

"sorry!"

The finger on the trigger suddenly tightened.
