She reached out to sneak attack, but was grabbed.

The old man suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were as deep as a pool of stagnant water, black and turbid, and he slightly raised the corners of his mouth with a meaningful smile, but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Luo tugged at his grasped hand and asked, "You are not an ordinary person at all, who are you?"

The old man in front of her had an unfathomable aura, she couldn't feel his strength, and it was because of this that she felt terrible.

The old man opened his mouth, and a hoarse voice came: "I knew you would come again."

"So? Are you waiting for me? Where is Caesar Courant? You know his laboratory, right?"

Caesar was originally a scientist of the World Government, but because his thinking was too extreme and he liked to do some brutal experiments, he was expelled by their department and wanted.

Later he also experimented with children.

If you catch him now, maybe you can save many people.

Xiao Luo pulled his hand again, but the old man was so strong that he couldn't pull it out no matter what.

In the end, he let go automatically, and the old man smiled: "Yes, I have been waiting for you for nearly 20 years."

"20 years? Nonsense! I wasn't even born then!"

Xiao Luo rubbed her hand that hurt from being scratched, with a displeased expression on her face, the old man said she was a fox, and said that she had been waiting for her for nearly 20 years.

What the hell?

Her head felt big.

"Know Gore D. Roger?"

The old man put away his smile, and his expression suddenly became serious and sad, as if it brought back the memories hidden in his heart.

Xiao Luo was stunned for a few seconds by the old man's question, and then replied: "I know... I know, One Piece, Gore D. Roger."

That is, Ace's biological father, who has been dead for about 19 years.

But she didn't understand: "What does it have to do with him?"

"If you want to know the answer, come with me."

After the old man dropped these words, he turned around and jumped out of the back window, disappearing in an instant.

Xiao Luo hesitated for a moment, because she didn't know if it was a trap, but she was overcome by curiosity in the end.

She also jumped out towards the rear window and followed.

Chapter 80 Charlie's Prophecy

The two walked through the streets and alleys, ran out of the town, and came all the way to the dense forest in the mountains.

Xiao Luo saw that the surrounding trees were getting more and more weird, and felt a little nervous, but the old man was still running forward, as fast as a healthy young man!

"Hey, how far is it?"

Could it be that he wants to take her to the deep mountains and old forests, kill her, and then peel off the skin of her face to make a human leather mask, and hang it in his own shop to sell?

Horror novels are written like this...

"!!!"

The more she thought about it, the more creepy Xiao Luo felt, and a chill ran down her spine, as if someone was behind her, ready to attack her at any time.

She glanced back subconsciously, but luckily there was nothing.

"Coming."

The old man's hoarse voice came lightly.

Xiao Luo suppressed the fear in her heart and continued to run with the old man.

But she still felt scared in her heart, and in the end she just rushed forward with a dull head, not thinking about anything.

A quarter of an hour later, the man stopped under a big tree about 10 meters wide.

Xiao Luo also slowed down, she raised her head, but she couldn't see the top of the tree.

Just as he was about to ask something, the old man jumped lightly and pressed against a certain piece of moss on the tree trunk, and that place was instantly dented.

Then a secret door appeared under the tree, slowly opened, the inside was pitch black, staring at it for too long, would inexplicably feel fear, as if something unclean would rush out of it at any moment, Xiao Luo swallowed unconsciously saliva.

The old man landed on the ground, with his hands behind his back, and said, "Let's go."

As soon as the words fell, he entered the big tree alone.

Xiao Luo hesitated for a moment and followed in. Since they have already come here, they can't retreat now, can they?

When I first entered, I hadn't gotten used to it yet. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

After a while, it will be fine, and you can gradually see the outline of the surrounding.

The inside is empty, without any decorations, just a tree hole that has been hollowed out by people. Its area is not large, and it can accommodate about ten people. It is estimated that it is afraid that too much damage will cause the death of the big tree.

On the ground across from them was a locked wooden box.

The old man stared at the wooden box, did not step forward, but looked at Xiao Luo: "That is what I want to give you, go and have a look."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and an invisible air knife light appeared, directly breaking the lock.

"Leave it to me? Is...what?"

Seeing that the old man was not moving, Xiao Luo didn't dare to move.

What if there is a mystery hidden inside, and something weird pops out as soon as you open it, and you will die because of it?

The old man saw that the little girl was quite vigilant, so he didn't let it go anymore: "The animal is a devil fruit, ten-tailed fox and phantom beast."

The top of the animal devil fruit is the Phantom Beast, which not only allows people to transform into mythical animals or characters, but also allows the owner to have special superpowers.

Phantom beasts are rarer than natural devil fruits.

"Phantom beast? Or ten-tailed fox?"

Xiao Luo has heard the legend of the ten-tailed fox, which is a higher-level creature than the nine-tailed fox. In the myth, it is very difficult for the nine-tailed fox to break through the ten-tailed fox.

Originally, it was difficult for a nine-tailed fox to cultivate successfully, but it was even more difficult for a ten-tailed fox.

"Wait, why did you give me such a good thing? And you said before that you waited for me for nearly 20 years? Is it just to give it to me? But how did you know that I would appear here 20 years ago? ? How do you know that I am the person you are looking for?"

Apart from being shocked, Xiao Luo had a lot of questions in her mind that she couldn't figure out. If the old man wasn't playing tricks on her, then there must be some secret hidden in it.

Facing the little girl's question, the old man sighed, not knowing where to start. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "Do you still remember the Gore D. Roger I just mentioned to you? Ten tails He was the one who found the fox devil fruit in Ralph Drew."

"Before arriving at Ralph Drew, Roger went to Murloc Island, and a fortune teller named Xia Li told him that he would find a rare devil fruit on the final island, so he must give it to the 20-year-old The latter is a black-haired girl who appeared on Mysteria Island, that girl will come to this island to investigate the truth of artificial fruits, her face is very suitable for the fox mask."

The old man stared at Xiao Luo and smiled, and asked, "Tell me, is what Xia Li said accurate?"

Before the little girl could answer, he said to himself: "Roger didn't believe it at the time, but when he really arrived at Ralph Drew and found the ten-tailed fox devil fruit, he had to believe it."

"Xia Li also predicted that letting the girl eat the fruit of the ten-tailed fox would help his son survive the greatest disaster in his life. If the girl did not show up after 20 years, Roger's son would undoubtedly die... ..."

"At that time, he was not married and had no children."

"But what Xia Li predicted happened one by one. She is a well-known fortune-teller in Fishman Island. Everyone respects her as Lady Xia Li, so Roger always takes her words to heart."

"However, Roger has long been terminally ill, and he can't wait for 20 years, so he entrusted this matter to me..."

"Later he got married, and after disappearing for a year, he ran to the navy and surrendered himself, and was soon publicly executed in Luoge Town, East China Sea."

They were still in touch that year, and Roger said he would give his child to be raised by a vice admiral named Cap.

The old man asked him, why not give him the child together?

Roger smiled softly and didn't speak, and didn't reveal a word, even if he said he didn't trust him, until now he didn't know what Roger was thinking.

That man's city is very deep, and even the closest people don't necessarily understand him.

At the same time, he has the sincerity and simplicity of a child.

Yes, he was a complex and contradictory man.

Xiao Luo was surprised after hearing so much from the old man, and his mind was still a little dazed.

His words are highly credible.

Because he said Ace would die.

Now Ace is only 17 years old, and there are still 3 years before the top war.

There is also that Xia Li, who does exist. She is the Great Blue Shark Mermaid Clan of Murman Island. She predicted the arrival of the era of great pirates, and also foresaw the war on the top, the death of Whitebeard and so on.

Good guy, she can still see her, a person who has traveled through the three dimensions, this is something Xiao Luo never expected.

She had to digest the information slowly.

Seeing that the little girl didn't speak, the old man thought that what he said might be too concise and she probably didn't understand.

So, he reminded: "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

"Why do you think I will definitely save Roger's child? Do I have that ability?"

She has never wanted to get too close to Ace, and there is another reason, that is, in the top war, Ace died in Marlin Vandor. If the relationship is too good, he will definitely cry like Luffy until he suffocates.

Such a powerful white beard can't save someone, what can she do as a weak chicken?

The old man looked a little sad, and replied lightly: "Probably a kind of sustenance, because in Xia Li's prophecy, you are his child's only hope, no matter how small the hope is, you have to try, right?"

"This is what a father should do..."

Knowing that the child is in trouble, how can he just sit back and watch?

No matter what, he has to fight for his children.

Xiao Luo: "So, because of that prophecy, you found Caesar Courant, became his matchmaker, delivered goods for him to sell artificial fruits to the pirates, and made things big, all in order to lure me?"

"Yes."

"Who the hell are you? What's your relationship with Roger?"

In Xiao Luo's impression, he has never seen this person in the original book. Could it be some character that didn't appear?

"me......."

The old man hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his head and looked up, his eyes were full of yearning for the past: "I am the master of that brat Roger..."
