The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

[Why is Buggy the Clown involved here? According to the timeline, Buggy should not have been separated from Shanks for long after Roger was executed. It is estimated that it has not been less than a year since they parted ways. The Split Fruit is probably not yet fully developed. He is definitely no match for the marine heroes.

Garp, who was in the Naval Operations Room, stood up directly from his chair. In his heyday, he was not afraid of anyone. "This is absolutely impossible. I was clearly guarding outside the door. I didn't even let a fly into the room. How could Buggy be in the room?"

A group of high-ranking navy officers saw that the former navy hero was somewhat broken, and they felt secretly happy that this old guy finally admitted it. He admitted that he raised the Pirate King's child without the knowledge of the navy. If this old guy didn't have some influence in the navy, Garp would have been fired long ago. It was because this old man had such a good disciple.

"Twenty years ago, Buggy the Clown had just awakened his Conqueror's Haki, and he was definitely not as strong as he is now. Is there a fourth person present?" The only man in the Navy who had fought Buggy gave his most pertinent evaluation. Akainu felt that no matter how strong the clown was, he had to follow some basic laws and there was always a process of becoming stronger. It was impossible for him to defeat the Navy heroes in less than a year. That was not how cheats worked.

Former Captain Roger, the person Shanks admires the most, said in person that Buggy was present that night. He stared at the crew with wide eyes and a look of disbelief that explained this man's attitude.

"Why would Buggy be there? Even if time is right, strength is not enough." Because Shanks clearly remembered that during that period, because Roger was publicly executed, even if One Piece disbanded the team, the former crew members were still hunted down by the navy. The World Government did not even let go of Tom, a shipbuilding fishman, let alone the people with names on the ship.

Few people know that Buggy the Clown is a trainee crew member of One Piece, but his appearance in front of the navy is simply giving military merit to the enemy. Moreover, the opponent is not an ordinary navy, but a navy hero in his heyday. Even if he entered Portgas D. Luju's room beforehand, how did he escape safely? ]

Brook in the sky noticed that Ace looked down on Buggy. He coughed to interrupt the other party's emotions and explained for the man who died young: "The clown Buggy is not as weak as you think. If you count it, he is your brother's master. He taught your brother how to develop devil fruits for three years. In the war five years ago, he watched the Whitebeard Pirates destroyed. Maybe he had his reasons."

Edo World Whitebeard took over the words of the Soul King and let the person involved express his thoughts: "Ace, the Soul King, is right. In that battle, although Buggy was just paddling the whole time and playing with Hawkeye Mihawk alone, I found it strange at the time. In the early days, I guessed that the great swordsman wanted to do nothing and deliberately played with the clown Buggy. But after you died, I noticed something wrong. He was particularly concerned about Luffy's safety."

Whitebeard's words later proved one thing. If it weren't for the secret help of Buggy the Clown, Luffy, who didn't know how to use Haki at that time, would never have survived in that cruel battlefield. "After Akainu killed you, he had to kill Luffy in front of Garp. Most of the strong men were fighting each other and had no time to care about him. The red dog left an indelible scar on your brother's chest forever. Luffy escaped with serious injuries and dying, which was the best result Buggy could do."

The spirit Ace felt that he looked down on everyone in the world. Like his father Roger, he had a preconceived notion of looking down on Buggy the Clown. Just like most people outside the Sky Curtain, who could have thought that such a strong man could actually go to the East China Sea and endure alone for twenty years. This kind of old sinister guy is really hard to guard against.

"But he shouldn't have been so powerful more than 20 years ago. He was just an intern on Roger's ship. Grandpa Garp would never make such a mistake. I still don't believe it."

Tianmu followed the words written down by Evil World Roger and entered the memories of Ace's mother, Portgas D. Rouge, and completely revealed what happened that night.

Twenty-five years ago, the South China Sea and heavy rain

In an ordinary delivery room, a young mother was screaming heartbreakingly. There was no one around to help the woman, but she was relying on her own efforts to give birth to the bloodline of the Pirate King.

A tall man wearing the Navy's Justice robe was standing outside the door. At this time, Garp's hair was not yet gray, and he still had dark hair. There was a worried expression on his face, but he didn't dare to go in until he heard the baby crying. Asking someone to help Portgas D. Luju give birth would risk being exposed.

The navy during this period had gone crazy. Without any evidence, just because the time matched the time before Roger's death, many innocent babies died. Even the navy hero could not stop this cruel cleansing method. So many people had already sacrificed, and he had to fulfill his promise to Roger after his death and let the Pirate King's child be born safely.

Gradually, the woman in the room became silent, and Garp suddenly had a bad premonition, "Lujiu, have you persisted for so long, but finally failed?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the crying of two babies came from the house, bringing good news to the naval hero. Garp's face, which was originally occupied by sorrow, smiled again, "Haha, Roger, you really found a good woman. From the sound of it, she gave birth to two babies for you. What an enviable blessing."

He heard the woman's weak call again. Garp straightened his clothes that were wet by the rain. The naval hero wanted to take the two babies from the great mother with the best manners. When he was about to push the door to enter, his keen observation Haki discovered that someone was coming. "Who are you, get out here, you bastard!"

Two figures walked out in the rainstorm, one of them had a funny clown makeup on his face, and the iconic red nose made Cap recognize him at a glance. Isn't this the little devil on Roger's ship? Why did he appear here?

Buggy, the skinny and thin clown who looked like a dog, applauded Garp in the rain and said, "Vice Admiral Garp, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Captain Roger was right about you. Madam Rouge finally gave birth under your care. The navy hero kept his promise to the Pirate King and fulfilled it. It is really touching to tell others about it."

Although Garp did not sense any hostility from these two people, he vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not right. The young man with three red magatama eyes next to Buggy the Clown made the navy hero feel a little uncomfortable. The other party might have bad intentions by choosing to come over at this time.

"You didn't come here just to see Roger's child, did you?" Garp clenched his fists and was ready to attack at any time. He would do his best to protect the son of his old friend. He was the only one who could protect Portgas D. Luju from the wind and rain.
