At the same time, Gawain had just arrived in Alubarna. After settling Robin down and telling her the general plan for the future, he was ready to set off to return to Whisky Peak.
"Captain Lucci and Kalifa used to be members of the World Government, and they are very likely members of the CP organization under the World Government."
Robin called Gawain, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "I have dealt with them many times before. For these agents, deception and disguise are basic qualities. I am worried..."
"No."
Gawain shook his head.
Now, he has 100% trust in Lucci and Kalifa. Emotional ties can be disguised, but the Helm of Destiny System cannot go wrong.
Only those who truly recognize White Knight Pirate and sincerely join can enjoy the blessing of the badge, and Kalifa and Lucci are among them.
"Everyone on this ship has their own unbearable past."
"You too, Lucci and Kalifa too, but as long as they are on this ship, they are my people, and I recognize the crew members."
"I understand."
Robin nodded; the inner uneasiness and doubts were gradually put down at this moment.
She trusted Gawain 100%, but the uneasiness she had developed from struggling to survive in the underworld was not so easy to erase.
She still needed time.
Gawain knew this, so he didn't take Robin's words to heart.
Suddenly, a slightly hurried ring sounded…
"Bulu!" "Bulu!" "Bulu!"
Gawain took out the Den Den Mushi in his arms and connected it.
"Gawain, something happened!"
Kuro's cold voice came from the receiver, but the content in it made Gawain shudder: "Lucci knocked Kalifa unconscious, injured Van Augur, and left. His purpose is unknown, but it is possible that everything before was a disguise."
As the voice fell to the ground.
Gawain turned his head to look at Robin, only to see a pair of uneasy eyes.
Lucci knew Robin's identity, and he knew that Robin had now become the eldest princess of Alabasta.
If this disguise had been known to the World Government, none of Gawain, Cobra, and Robin involved in this matter would have been able to escape.
With Gawain's strength, he was naturally not afraid of the pursuit of the Marines, but Cobra, the king of Alabasta, could not escape in any way.
Compared with this, killing the CP organization agent at Whisky Peak was a trivial matter.
Besides, Gawain didn't believe that Lucci would really defect.
"What time is it now?"
Robin was stunned, looked down at her hand, and said truthfully: "It's past one in the morning."
Gawain nodded and called up the distribution record of the Experience Piggy Bank.
He had discovered this bug in the Helm of Destiny System before.
Although he could not directly check the importance of the crew, the badge ability would only be blessed to the members who sincerely joined the White Knight Pirate.
Gawain took a quick glance and saw that Lucci and Kalifa were among them, and he was relieved immediately.
Then Gawain turned to Robin and explained: "There must be something else behind this. Didn't you make a similar decision under certain circumstances before?"
Robin was stunned, and a hint of understanding appeared on her face.
At this moment, whether Lucci really betrayed White Knight Pirate or not was no longer important to her.
What was important was the trust between each other.
"I understand, captain."
Gawain nodded and said: "I will go back to Whisky Peak first. Your plan will be temporarily suspended until the problem with Lucci is solved."
"Okay."
With that, Gawain jumped up, spread his wings, and left at a much faster speed than when he came.
After confirming that Lucci did not really defect, Gawain's hanging heart was relieved, but a new problem also appeared in front of her.
That is what happened to Lucci, making him make such a decision.
This can only mean that, in Lucci's judgment, defecting at this moment is a more favorable choice for the White Knight Pirate.
"The only thing that can make him make this choice is the pressure from the World Government, but the two of them should have been abandoned by the World Government a long time ago, so why would they do it at this time..."
"Forget it."
"It's useless to worry about it; let's get him back first and then talk about other things."
As the sun rose in the east, Gawain's figure appeared on the horizon and landed steadily on the deck of the Raven.
Kuro and others who had not slept all night surrounded him instantly.
"Captain, there is already a clue about Lucci's matter."
Gin stepped forward and lowered his head, but his eyes were a little lonely: "According to Van Augur, that guy was ordered by the World Government to return to the CP organization to report, which is basically certain..."
"Lucci has defected."
While speaking, Gin gritted his teeth, and his eyes were red.
Although he was unwilling to admit it in his heart, he never thought that Lucci would really choose to betray.
But now, it can be said that the evidence is as strong as a mountain. No matter how hard it is for him to accept, he cannot deny the fact that it is almost in front of him.
"Instructor... will not do such a thing!"
"During this period, he has been sincerely guiding us and has never kept anything to himself. It has been like this since the moment he boarded the ship."
"A man like him, although taciturn, has a heart that is hotter than anyone else."
"I can feel this."
"Gin also said that the instructor did not kill Van Augur; if he truly wanted to..."
The incident happened suddenly, which naturally alarmed all the members of the White Knight Pirate.
At this moment, even ordinary crew members gradually gather around.
But if we talk about the people who trust Lucci the most on the ship, apart from Gin, they are the only ones.
The news of Lucci's sudden defection is undoubtedly impossible for them to accept. They all subconsciously think that Lucci may have encountered some problem.
The surrounding environment gradually became noisy, and everyone talked about it.
"Enough!"
Gawain's voice cut through the commotion like a blade.
Feeling Gawain's unintentional Conqueror's Haki, everyone shut up instantly, and all eyes fell on Gawain, the captain.
Because he was the backbone of this Pirate crew.
The surroundings became quiet. Gawain stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows, and his eyes swept around the deck.
He didn't find the person he was looking for, so he asked: "Where's Kalifa?"
"In the cabin, she just woke up."
"Bring her out."
"Yes!"
Two pirates turned and walked into the cabin.
A few minutes later, they came out while supporting the pale-faced Kalifa.
Gawain's voice was cold and firm, carrying an undeniable authority: "What exactly happened to Lucci?"
"I don't know."
Kalifa pursed her lips tightly; her eyes were red, but she shook her head firmly.
She knew what Lucci was going to do. He returned to the Water 7 alone and rescued Kaku and Blueno.
At the same time, he completely focused the attention of the CP organization on himself and completely eliminated the suspicion of Gawain and everyone.
What's more terrible is that at this point in time, the news that the blueprint of Pluton existed in the Water 7 has been leaked to Big Mom Pirate, and it is still unknown whether other forces know about it.
As one of the three Ancient Weapons, Pluton, according to the records within the CP organization, has the power to wipe a country off the map with one shot.
It's not destruction but complete wiping off the map!
Faced with such a weapon, the forces entrenched in this sea cannot help but be tempted.
The seven warlords at Paradise, the four emperors in the New World, and even some equally powerful forces that are not included in this list will all gather at the Water 7 from all over the world.
It could very well become the battleground for the greatest power struggle since the age of pirates began.
