Chapter 138: No. 1, Locksmith Kaido
"Hmph, you little brat, what's the point of that?" A burly bald man who also holds the rank of major general in our unit but is usually on guard duty outside, folded his hands, looked at Lu Kai with disdain not far away, and said loudly without any concealment.
"I thought he was a giant, nine meters tall, with broad shoulders and a big waist. I didn't expect him to look so ordinary." Another colonel with scars all over his face immediately joined in the ridicule.
"What a great honor!" Another mocking voice sounded, "Heh, Red Wind Lu Kai, nothing special."
There were constant mocking and teasing voices, but Lu Kai's expression did not change at all. However, the marines on duty were all angry.
"What qualifications do you have to comment on Major General Lu Kai?"
"That's right, you are not even as good as one finger of Major General Lu Kai."
"That's not all. All of you combined are no match for Major General Lu Kai."
Hearing these curses, Lu Kai felt a headache. What happened? He had just returned from a mission, and this happened?
"Soldiers, stop making noise, continue on duty and don't care what others say." Lu Kai immediately shouted to the Marines.
Upon hearing this, the Marines immediately returned to their respective posts and stopped making any more noise.
"As for you." Lu Kai glanced at the branch officers who were looking at him with hostile eyes.
Then he suddenly raised his mouth and said with a smile: "Do you know that I like to listen to crosstalk, so you come here to make me laugh? If you go to Deyun Club, I will definitely buy tickets to support you.
“But I hope you are not the type who are all talk and no action. Don’t fail to even make it to the finals, because that would be a huge embarrassment.
"As for me, I will be waiting for you in the finals. Please don't let me down."
After saying this, Lu Kai ignored the murderous looks and angry shouts from these people and strode straight towards the fortress.
Leaving behind a group of confused people trying hard to figure out what crosstalk is and what Deyun Club is.
A new organization?
"Teacher." Inside the fortress, there is a resident hall on the top few floors that belongs to Garp. At the moment, there are only Luke and Garp in the hall. Luke saluted when he saw Garp.
"Little brat, you're willing to come back?" Cap said with relief when he saw Lu Kai growing taller, stronger, more resolute and mature.
"Teacher, this is the senbei from Dudao Island that I brought especially for you." Lu Kai placed the big bag of things he brought directly on the table in front of Garp.
Garp didn't hesitate and directly took out a bag of senbei, tore it open, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with big mouthfuls, as if he was venting his emotions.
"Teacher, you look like you're in a bad mood? Is there anything I can help you with?" Lu Kai has genuine respect for Cap.
Although Karp was always very strict with Luke, he was deeply moved by his protection and trust. Although Karp was sometimes unreasonable, Luke had a heartfelt respect and gratitude for Karp.
"Sora and Sengoku excluded me from the internal competition of the navy this time. I am the only vice admiral excluded. It is really annoying." Garp grabbed another handful of senbei, stuffed it into his mouth, and cursed, "Am I not a vice admiral? I wanted to teach those arrogant guys a lesson, humph!"
Lu Kai couldn't help but cover his face. How dare you say that? Do you still need to verify your strength?
If you hadn't been unwilling, you would have been an admiral of the Navy Headquarters by now.
Moreover, the purpose of this competition is to discover potential naval officers and promote those with potential. If you yourself don't want to be promoted, why are you still fighting?
"Boy, listen to me carefully. The whole world knows that you are my disciple, so you have to fight for me. You must get the first place, otherwise I will put you in solitary confinement for a year." Garp unconsciously exerted force with his hands to crush the senbei that he had not finished eating, and ordered Luke unhappily.
"Don't worry, teacher. If I don't get first place, you don't have to punish me. I will punish myself." Lu Kai said confidently, "Besides, as your disciple, if I don't get first place, who else can get it?"
"How shameless you are!" Suddenly a slightly hoarse voice sounded at the door, and a man walked in.
"Greetings, General Sengoku." Seeing the person coming, Lu Kai immediately stood at attention and saluted. The person coming was none other than the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Buddha's Sengoku.
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Zhan Guo walked straight in.
After seeing a pile of senbei on the table, Zhan Guo's eyes immediately lit up. He took out a bag without hesitation, opened it and started eating.
"Hey, Sengoku, you bastard, did you get my permission to eat my senbei?" Garp suddenly slammed the table, stood up and shouted loudly.
"How stingy!" Zhan Guo didn't realize he was being yelled at, and continued to enjoy his meal. He said, "It seems that you and your disciple have already decided on the first place in this competition?"
"General Zhan Guo, you are joking. I am just doing my best." Lu Kai, who was always very serious in front of Zhan Guo, immediately explained with his hands behind his back.
In the entire navy, Zhan Guo is one of the people Lu Kai respects the most.
The person Luke respects the most is naturally Garp, and the second is Cyborg, who likes to scold him but protects him in private.
The next are Sengoku and Zephyr. Zephyr had specifically approached Garp and asked him to give Luke to him, and threatened to train Luke to become the strongest marine.
However, Garp rejected it clearly and angrily, and the reason he gave was very simple: Can't Luke become the strongest here with me? Get lost!
Zefa was very sad about this, but it was a rare opportunity to meet a rough diamond like Lu Kai, so Zefa privately gave Lu Kai a lot of guidance on combat.
Zhan Guo didn't give Lu Kai much advice on combat, but he gave him a lot of advice on a daily basis.
It was Zhan Guo who told Lu Kai about many of the twists and turns within the navy, in order to enable him to adapt to the navy better and faster.
Moreover, Lu Kai knew that Zhan Guo was actually a somewhat funny person, but now that he was in a high position of power, he always looked serious, so Lu Kai also became serious.
"No, I'm serious." Zhan Guo said, "You must take first place."
“Uh…” This time Lu Kai couldn’t be helped.
"By the way, I have something else to discuss with you." Zhan Guo came to Lu Kai today specifically, and said, "If you take first place this time, we decide to transfer you to the Navy G1 branch as the highest commander of the base, directly in charge of the New World. Do you have any objection?"
"I have an opinion." Before Lu Kai could reply, Karp on the side said, "He is my disciple and now he is a major general under my command. You poached him without my consent. Don't you think I am too serious?"
"Shut up, Garp." Sengoku said unhappily, "Lukai has captured Kaido this time and he hasn't been rewarded yet!
"Once Lu Kai wins first place in this competition, he will be promoted to Lieutenant General. His rank will be the same as yours. What reason is there for me to be under your command?"
