No one is worthy of complete trust. This is an important point that Lu Qi has concluded in the past few decades. Even Skyler, whom he swore allegiance to, is only someone he is willing to trust.

But if the car completely trusts such an absolute adjective, then sorry, even Skyler is not worthy of Lucci.

Because in essence, he and Skyler were making a deal. Skyler gave him and his companions a way to survive, and Lucci used all the resources he could reach to give back to Skyler.

But as Skyler uses him more and more, Lu Qi can't help but worry. After all, in today's situation, if it weren't for the opportunity of the World Conference, he might not even be able to survive.

ensure.

It was too bold to directly oppose the Five Old Stars. According to common sense, his life should be about to enter a countdown.

But Lu Qi didn't intend to die like this. He had indeed sworn that if necessary, he would sacrifice everything, including his own life, to fulfill Skyler's orders.

But being "willing to give his life" does not mean that his life is worthless, or that he can be sacrificed at any time. Therefore, before death comes, Lu Qi will continue to look for breakthroughs.

Whether it is said that he cherishes his life, that he is afraid of death, or that he wants to make more contributions to Skyler, in the final analysis, Lu Qi will use all his methods to seek a chance to survive.

Originally, he just wanted to leave a bug today to hear whether the Five Old Stars would plan against him or Skylar after the meeting.

If the Five Old Stars really intended to let him or Skyler die, then they would at least communicate and reveal a little bit of information, and this information is what Lu Qi needs.

If you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. If you don't even understand the enemy's plan, how can you defeat the enemy?

But Lu Qi never expected that an inconspicuous listening device he left behind would allow him to hear extremely strange and shocking news.

Five old stars dare not attack Skyler!

In fact, this statement has appeared in this world for sixteen years. Lu Qi, who took over the position of CP0 commander, has naturally heard of this statement.

During the World Conference that year, Skyler beat up the Celestial Dragon, and the Celestial Dragon committed suicide in shame the next day, but Skyler was not punished in any way.

And in the subsequent World Conference, the Navy with Skyler present, no matter what kind of proposal was proposed, even if it was such an outrageous proposal as to double the military expenditure, the Five Old Stars did not directly reject it, but further negotiated.

Skyler herself was not affected at all by this time. Whether she was subsequently awarded a golden shoulder patch, appointed Navy Grand Inspector, or awarded the title of Navy Hero, it all meant that the World Government had no intention of pursuing her.

But Lu Qi didn't believe that the Five Old Stars were really afraid of Skylar as those people speculated.

In Lu Qi's opinion, the attitude of the Five Old Stars towards Skyler is more like the attitude of the Five Old Stars towards Garp in the past few decades. However, Skyler has less impact on the world than Garp.

It's bigger, so the balance of weight in the hearts of the Five Old Stars will be more biased towards Skyler.

Although Skyler has not done anything to save a large number of Draco people like Garp, the changes she has brought to the world over the years are more substantial than Garp, so the Five Old Stars value her as well.

Normal.

If Skyler's status was really that high, then there would not have been the Justice Crusade incident, nor would there have been such a thing as Skyler being hidden after annihilating the world's slave trade chain.

Especially the latter thing. If Garp had done it, the World Government would not have dared to say a loud word. But after Skyler did that thing, the World Government would have directly dared to put pressure on the Navy.

However, Lu Qi smiled and shook his head. If Skyler had not been hidden at that time, he would not have had the chance to meet Skyler, at least not so early.

Because after Skyler was hidden, the first task he performed was to assist the CP in rescuing a franchise country. At that time, among the CP, the person who performed the task was Lu Qi.

Looking back, Lu Qi felt a little ridiculous. At that time, he recognized CP9's philosophy so much that he didn't even think about leaving.

But people will always grow, and when he grew up enough to see clearly the shortcomings of CP9, Skyler extended an olive branch to him again. Although it was tentative, it finally became what he is today.

Therefore, before today, Lu Qi did not believe that the Five Old Stars did not dare to attack Skyler, which was why he was eager to survive.

But the fact is that the Five Old Stars really did not dare to attack Skyler, and the amount of information revealed was also quite large.

The first is the change in the attitude of the Five Old Stars. If analyzed according to their dialogue, it should be sixteen years ago, which was also the year the World Conference was held.

It was also Schuyler's first time attending a world conference, and it could even be said that it was his first time coming to Mary Joa, although Skyler had traveled back and forth between the front and rear sections of the Grand Waterway more than once as a naval officer.

The Red Continent must have been visited before, but the Holy Land of Mary Joa should be the first time Skyler arrived.

But it was this arrival that made the whole incident more interesting, and also led to the thing that shocked Lu Qi the most, that is, there was actually that adult on the Five Old Stars.

In the eyes of everyone, the supreme leader of the World Government is the Five Old Stars, including Lu Qi, who has always thought so, but today he unexpectedly learned that "that Lord" still exists.

Although I have no idea who the person Wulaoxing is talking about is, that person is the actual controller of the World Government, and he is the one who changed the World Government's attitude towards Skyler.

This "that adult" was extremely crucial. At the same time, his existence and the issue of timing made Lu Qi suddenly understand why the curly-haired Five Old Star was blind.

Lu Qi did not know Wu Laoxing just recently. As early as more than ten years ago, he was the first in his period and was even praised as a once-in-800-year-old CP genius. He met him when he graduated from Guan Hao.

Five old stars.

The curly-haired old star at that time was not blind. Even at the time of the change, Lu Qi came up with a guess.

Sixteen years ago, Skyler attended the World Conference for the first time and came to Mary Joa for the first time. He attracted the attention of "that adult", or even "favor"?

After Skyler beat up the Heavenly Dragon Saint Mograine, the Five Old Stars who originally wanted to punish Skyler received a notice from that adult.

During the meeting, perhaps the curly-haired Five Old Stars collided with "that Lord" and lost his eyesight. It was also that night that the Draco Mograine "committed suicide in shame".

The next day, the matter inexplicably calmed down. The older generation of Heavenly Dragons who controlled the family leader's voice stopped making trouble. Even Saint Mograine's compatriots accepted the result.

After that, the five old stars no longer expressed dissatisfaction with everything Skyler did, just as the blind curly-haired old star said

As long as Skyler's behavior does not directly threaten the survival of the world government, she will be left alone.

This kind of super-standard treatment was all brought about by "that adult". Lu Qi suddenly got up and went to explore "that adult's" thoughts.

After all, from Wulaoxing's conversation, he had already obtained the residence of "that adult". It was among the flowers deep in Pangu City, a "back garden" that was built but never opened.

Lu Qi had never been curious about the place between the flowers before. After all, in front of the flowers was the palace where the Throne of the Void was located, and behind it was the center of the Holy Land Mary Joa. It was very mysterious.

When he checked the information, he also learned that thirty-eight years had passed since the construction of the Flower Room. Even if he wanted to plant the best flowers, it should be completed.

But it was indeed a "garden", and the sea of ​​flowers could not even be seen at a glance. Although Lu Qi had never really set foot in it, he had looked at it from a distance several times.

The flowers there were indeed very rich and well-cultivated. Many waiters were working constantly. After seeing them a few times, Lu Qi lost interest.

After all, how could he have imagined that there would actually be a mysterious person living in that sea of ​​flowers who could command the Five Old Stars?

But it seems too difficult to explore that place. The vastness is one thing, but the personnel configuration in the flower room and whether the mysterious "that adult" is incredibly powerful are unknown.

Especially, does "that adult" really live on the ground among the flowers? If these problems are not solved, Lu Qi knows that his search will be in vain.

Therefore, he put down this idea and started thinking about it, that is, whether Skyler knew about the existence of "that adult", and if he knew, could he ask her about the relationship between the two.

But these are not the solution to the current situation after all. After hearing this huge secret, the only thing Lu Qi can know is that Skyler will not be in danger of his life.

But Skyler is worry-free, which does not mean that Lu Qi is also worry-free, unless he confesses to the Five Old Stars that he is Skyler's subordinate, but Lu Qi feels that doing so will at best lead to his own death and change the crime.

That’s all.

Lu Qi slowly walked back to the CP0 station, sat on the sofa in his office, took off his mask and hat, threw them aside casually, and then stretched out his hand to knead his eyebrows.

Originally, he wanted to obtain some information from the Five Old Stars so that he could use it to break the situation, but he got a bunch of messy information, but the impact was extremely huge, which made Lu Qi not know how to evaluate what he had done.

Did he get information during this trip? Yes. Is the information important? It is extremely important. But does this information help him in a narrow sense? It does not help at all.

He still has a countdown to his death. Apart from knowing that Skyler will not die in frustration with him, his risking to leave the bug behind has no meaning at the moment.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk~"

Just when Lu Qi was worried, Kalifa knocked on the door of his office. Lu Qi nodded. Kalifa walked into the office and asked: "How is it? Lu Qi?"

"The Five Old Stars are about to go on a mission to the Dragon Palace Kingdom. Please make arrangements."

Luqi did not tell Kalifa what he was worried about. Looking at the troubled Luqi, Kalifa also knew that this time it was not going so smoothly.

But Lu Qi didn't want to say that, and she had no choice. Moreover, CP0 still had work to do, which meant that nothing would happen in the short term. All she had to do next was wait until Lu Qi came up with a solution to the problem.

Therefore, Kalifa did not disturb Lu Qi, but nodded and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements first."

"Um."

Lu Qi nodded and said no more words.

On Kraikana Island, outside a dilapidated castle, Mihawk was eating an egg roll, but paired it with a red wine of more than 25 years old. He blinked his golden circled eyes and looked at the sky with some doubts.

This point should be the time when the news bird comes to deliver the letter. The news bird is almost never late, but every time it is late, it means something big has happened.

This is also the reason why Mihawk is confused. He has just returned not long ago, and during the time he went to sea, except for the boy Shanks liked, who got into some trouble, there was no turmoil in the world at all.

Mihawk, who had his legs crossed, changed his position, put his fork on the dinner plate, forked a piece of egg roll, put it to his mouth very leisurely, bit it, and started chewing it.

Then I looked at the farmland that was growing vigorously. It was almost time to harvest. After the harvest, there would be a slack season. If I had to wait until September, I would have time again.

Thinking of this, Mihawk glanced at the horizon again, and after confirming that there was no news bird, he forked the remaining egg roll and ate it, and then drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

He stood up, picked up the white towel that was straddling the back of the chair, put it on his shoulders, then picked up the hoe standing beside him and walked towards the farmland.

"Chi~chi~chi~"

With a swipe of the hoe, the mature crops were turned over. When he was tired, he wiped his sweat with a white towel, and then continued to face the loess and his back to the sky.

"Mihawk! Mihawk! I'm back!!!"

Suddenly, a thin figure floated over. Mihawk stopped, put the hoe on the ground, put one hand on the handle of the hoe, picked up a towel with the other, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then asked:

"Didn't you say you were going to look for Moria and the others?"

"Humph! I can't find it!" Perona landed and Neiba stood, then said: "Do you know what happened today? You must not know, right? Do you want me to tell you?"

"Chi~chi~chi~"

Mihawk ignored Perona, but raised the hoe and worked on the land again. Perona, who was originally proud, turned red with anger and said, "It's the news about Skylar!"

"Chi~chi~chi~"
