Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 277: Traitor of the Navy

Long, dressed in casual clothes, came to Honeycomb Island alone to look for Lu Chen. At this moment, he had already left the navy camp.

The Valley of Gods is a place that changes the destiny of many people, and this is especially true for the naval officer Long, whose faith has been shaken.

After leaving the Valley of Gods, Long began to think about the so-called justice. Do the things he has been carrying on his back really exist in the place where he serves?
Therefore, he was very interested in the first person to land on Marijoa and free the slaves. This person might be practicing the same justice as himself.

So after leaving the navy, Long wanted to meet the man who dared to challenge the Celestial Dragons. Now Long is still very confused.

However, his arrival was unfortunate because Lu Chen had just set out to Wano Country to search for seastone and ancient weapons. So he stayed in this base camp full of the enemies he had previously hunted.

During his communication with the pirates, Long also realized that there are people with justice among everyone. Of course, this is mainly because Lu Chen's subordinates are all former slaves with relatively high quality, and a large part of these people are not lawless people who take the initiative to go to sea.

By the time Lu Chen came back, Long had already become friends with his men.

So, not long after Lu Chen returned to Beehive Island on the bubble, one of his men came up to him and introduced him: "Boss, there's a man who has defected from the navy and joined us. He's very powerful and a very nice person. He must have heard of your reputation, Joy Boy, and came here specifically to join us."

Long has conquered many of his subordinates with his charm. After all, he is a person who can build a force alone, and he has the ability to make others keep coming closer to him.

Betray the Navy? Lu Chen's first thought was Drake's plan to defect to Kaido. Did the Navy send an undercover agent so quickly? It seemed that his actions had caused the World Government a headache.

Lu Chen wanted to see who the navy had sent to carry out this mission, so he said to his men, "Then bring him here to see him."

Soon, Long was brought in front of Lu Chen by his subordinates. After seeing Lu Chen's expression, the subordinates took the initiative to leave, leaving an independent space for the two.

Living with the pirates for some time has made Long lose his navy style, and he wears a cloak to cover his appearance.

After seeing that it was this person, Lu Chen also realized that he should not be an undercover sent by the navy. What kind of situation could allow the son of a lieutenant general to be sent out as an undercover agent?

Moreover, Long is an old traitor and will become the most dangerous man in the world in the future.

Therefore, Lu Chen extended his hand enthusiastically and pretended to be the godfather of pirates.

"I welcome every seafarer who joins me. No matter why you come to the sea, you can find your place here. We don't care about anyone's experience here."

Long had no objection to working for Lu Chen, but he needed to know why. Was he, as his men claimed, the reincarnation of Joyboy, brought freedom to the slaves? Or was he, as the rumors said, a survivor of the Valley of the Gods, venting his anger?

It is important to understand that this is especially true for dragons.

"I want to ask you why you rebelled against the Celestial Dragons to rescue the slaves. Can you tell me the answer?"

Lu Chen didn't answer the question directly. Instead, he pulled a bottle of wine from his room and tossed it to Long. Then he asked, "What do you think I'm doing this for? Is it for justice? Or is it out of anger?" Long studied Lu Chen intently for a moment, trying to discern something from him. But the result left him somewhat disappointed.

Long, who had come with great anticipation, said somewhat disappointedly, "I don't sense a burning pursuit of justice from you, nor do I see any lingering hatred in your eyes. So, what are you after?"

This man can feel what is in other people's hearts, so he has the idea of sympathy for others.

Long couldn't understand what Lu Chen was doing, but he knew that this person wasn't the answer he was looking for. This person might have something in his heart that he had always believed in, but it was definitely not justice.

Lu Chen looked at Long, who was showing a look of disappointment, and asked, "You are the son of the Navy hero Garp, right? What made you give up your bright future in the Navy and head for the sea?"

Long sighed at this question, then unscrewed the wine that Lu Chen threw to him and took a sip.

He replied in confusion, "I don't know. I can no longer see my path clearly in the Navy. I met you in the Valley of Gods, so you know what happened there. After that incident, I also threw off the justice that I had been carrying on my back. It is impossible to find true justice in a place where people deceive themselves."

The insistence on justice continued to burn in Long's heart. He was disappointed with his father. He believed that Garp also turned a blind eye to the evil that was happening. Those screaming under the gunfire were actually the tragedy caused by the people he protected. And the reason was just for fun.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and continued to ask, "You understand that the Celestial Dragons are the cancer of the world, right?"

Long Ye was curious about these people who only harmed the world. How did these incompetent people get to sit in that position?

So he echoed, "Yeah, what on earth do those world nobles rely on to sit in that position?"

Lu Chen smiled first, then said, "Of course you know why they are sitting in that position. You have seen them. On the battlefield of God Valley."

Long knew this, of course. The Five Elders' monstrous figures were etched firmly in his mind. He had no idea how to defeat such an enemy.

He did not see the scene where Rocks beat the Five Elders because Long had been knocked down by other enemies before that.

In Long's heart, the monster transformed by the Five Elders was invincible, so he fell silent.

Lu Chen decided to tell Long everything he knew: "So you think they are the highest fighting force of the World Government?"

Long replied as a matter of course, "Aren't they? The Five Elders control all power in the world. Since they are in that position, they should be the highest force of the World Government. And you were also on that battlefield at that time, we all know how powerful they are."

These things are etched in people's minds and don't require much thought.
