Chapter 119: When the time is right, the Navy becomes a model

The right to free seas means that Luke can go wherever he wants, and all the consequences will be borne by Garp. He only needs to report to Garp afterwards and he can sail freely around the world.

You have to know that Lu Kai's military rank was only a colonel of the Navy Headquarters. Giving a colonel of the Navy Headquarters the right to sail freely in the New World was too unbelievable, not to mention that Lu Kai was only 15 years old.

This move of Garp seemed crazy to the top brass of the Marine Headquarters, but Garp insisted on supporting Luckey on the grounds that Luckey was his subordinate.

That’s right, Lu Kai was promoted to colonel just one year after joining the navy, a promotion speed that many people could never dream of.

The reason why Luke's naval career was so smooth was not only due to his own strength and achievements, but also inseparable from Garp's help.

The benefits of serving under Cap were personally unimaginable to Luquet.

As the strongest combat force of the Marine Headquarters of this era, a naval hero, a candidate for admiral, and an old comrade-in-arms of the Marine Headquarters Admirals Sengoku, Zephyr, and Vice Admiral Tsuru, Garp holds a special position in the Navy.

No matter how eccentric (arbitrary) Karp is, he will be forgiven, at most he will be scolded, and he will have privileges that others do not have.

Luke served under Garp right after he joined the navy, saving him countless troubles.

The promotion path for most navies starts from the bottom and climbs up step by step.

Even monsters with extraordinary strength like Kuzan, Sakaski, or Borsalino were not promoted much faster than their peers.

However, Lu Kai was actively recruited by the Navy Headquarters, so he had a high starting point naturally.

In addition, Garp always let Lucaire fight the most vicious pirates and did not take any credit for them, which made Lucaire accumulate military merits much faster than others.

Within the scope of his authority, Garp also did his best to promote Luke, allowing him to become a colonel in the Navy Headquarters in just one year.

Many people in the Navy Headquarters were very dissatisfied with the speed of Lu Kai's promotion, and believed that the Navy Headquarters was too partial to Lu Kai.

Unfortunately, Lu Kai encountered a good opportunity.

The navy's strength has been somewhat lacking in the past few years, and one of the three admirals' positions is still vacant.

Among the two active admirals, Nazawa Nozomi has retired to the second line and is only holding the title of admiral, and the new generation of naval generals has not yet grown up.

It can be said that the Navy Headquarters has been relying on a few veterans to hold on over the years.

However, Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, Wang Zhi and others were so powerful and rampant that the prestige of the Navy Headquarters was affected.

Therefore, the Navy Headquarters has been trying to set up an example in recent years to enhance the prestige and influence of the Navy and at the same time stimulate others to work hard.

Luke was fortunate enough to squeeze out Kuzan, Sakaski and Borsalino and became the final person selected.

It's not because Lu Kai is stronger than these three people, but because setting up Lu Kai as a typical example is the most eye-catching, the most watched, and the most likely to stimulate other naval officers and soldiers.

To put it simply, based on comprehensive considerations, the top brass of the Navy Headquarters unanimously agreed that setting up Lu Kai as a model would be the most effective and was incomparable to the other three.

First of all, there was a misunderstanding on Lu Kai's first day at the Navy Headquarters. He was outnumbered by two hundred men and only defended but did not attack, so he was not at a disadvantage.

Later, he frequently accepted challenges from other naval officers and soldiers, fought hundreds of battles without a single defeat, and dominated the world.

Lu Kai's actions at that time stimulated many people, so much so that a training frenzy was set off in the entire naval headquarters. Many people trained desperately just to be able to defeat Lu Kai one day.

Therefore, Lu Kai is equivalent to a catfish in the Navy Headquarters. Setting him as an example can have a positive impact on the officers and soldiers of the entire Navy Headquarters.

Secondly, it was well known that Lu Kai trained harder than anyone else in the Navy Headquarters and was ready to risk his life.

It gives people the feeling that the reason why he can be so powerful at such a young age is because he works harder than anyone else.

If we set Lu Kai as a role model, there will definitely be people who dislike him and want to surpass him.

But there will also be people who regard him as a role model and learn from him.

No matter which situation it is, I will be motivated to train harder.

Third, Karp has made it clear that he wants to train Luke as his successor and will give him more fighting opportunities.

Everyone knows how crazy Garp is. Under him, Luke is able to fight many strong men and quickly accumulate military merits.

It is indeed true. Lu Kai has fought against countless masters in the past year, and many big pirates have fallen into his hands. So although Lu Kai was promoted quickly, his achievements are also real.

Setting up Lu Kai as an example can be used to remind others that if you can be as daring and fearless as Lu Kai, you will also be promoted and reused quickly.

Fourth, Luke’s strength is not inferior to Kuzan and others, so it is completely fine to use his strength as a model.

It’s only because he is young and his rise is so fantastic, reaching the peak as soon as he debuted, that he has caused dissatisfaction and jealousy among many people.

After all, Lukai's first and second battles were against Rayleigh and Jabba respectively, and both were reported in newspapers and made headlines around the world, so it would be hard not to know about it.

But for a long time afterwards, no one from Roger's pirate group came out to deny the incident, which was tantamount to confirming the matter.

From then on, Lu Kai became famous all over the world and was featured in newspapers every now and then.

Over the past year, Luke had fought against the Roger Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Golden Lion Pirates, and had personally captured several notorious pirates, defeating even more of the Machines, allowing everyone to witness just how powerful he was.

Moreover, Lu Kai has an excellent image and temperament, and the photos of him in the newspapers always show him as sunny, cheerful and harmless.

Coupled with a hint of immaturity due to his age, this contrast quickly helped him accumulate a large number of fans around the world.

Because of Lu Kai, newspaper sales have increased significantly in the past year, and many people want to see news about this young sailor.

There were even some crazy female fans who secretly cut out photos of Lu Kai from newspapers and carefully kept them in exquisite photo albums.

However, many people couldn't help but worry about Lu Kai, because every time Lu Kai appeared in the newspaper, he was fighting against ferocious pirates, so they were always afraid that he would be injured or even die in the dangerous battle.

But at the same time, I want to see the news of him defeating the pirates and making great contributions, which is very contradictory.

But no matter what, the little sailor Lu Kai has touched the hearts of many people.

Therefore, the age of 14 or 5 is not a disadvantage, but makes Lu Kai more legendary and has more publicity value. At this age, he is invincible among his peers and can compete with all the famous pirates. What a good gimmick.

Many people even believed that the navy was going to rise. If a child could be so powerful, there must be many hidden talents in the navy. Unconsciously, more and more people became full of confidence in the navy.

Finally, for the Navy Headquarters, even if Lu Kai unfortunately died young, it would still play a good propaganda role. He was young and could afford to lose, and the prestige of the Navy Headquarters would not decline because of his death.

On the contrary, once Luke died at the hands of pirates, the Navy Headquarters would immediately write his deeds into a touching and inspiring story that would resonate with the whole world.

By then, more and more people around the world will support the navy more firmly and hate pirates even more.

It has to be said that the calculations of the Navy Headquarters were so loud that they could be heard all over the West Sea, but Lu Kai was happy to see it happen because he was the biggest beneficiary.
