Chapter 139: Friends gathering, competition system announced

Garp was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that you won't promote me for the time being?"

"I did say that I won't promote him for now, but once Lu Kai wins first place in the competition, what reason do I have for not promoting him? And who would have an objection at that time? Who would dare to have an objection? And didn't you just tell him to win first place?"

Warring States' four consecutive questions made Garp speechless, and then Warring States no longer paid attention to Garp, turned around and asked Lu Kai: "Do you have any opinions?"

Lu Kai looked at Garp, then at Zhan Guo, feeling helpless, but he still stood at attention and answered seriously: "No objection, I will obey the arrangement."

When Zhan Guo heard Lu Kai's answer, his face was full of relief and he couldn't help but nodded.

Lu Kai is such a likable subordinate. He is hard-working, strong, smart and obedient. All the senior officials in the Navy Headquarters have a very good impression of Lu Kai.

"But I have to tell you some bad news." Zhan Guo's expression suddenly changed, and he said to Lu Kai somewhat embarrassedly.

"Just now we received news that Kaido opened the shackles during the escort, defeated the vice admiral who was responsible for escorting him to Impel Prison and stole the warship. Then Kaido contacted the members of the Beast King Pirates, destroyed the warship and escaped."

“What?” Lu Kai thought he had misheard and said in disbelief, “We just caught it, it’s not even warm yet!”

Luke teased Kaido a few days ago to see how he could escape, but after just a few days, Kaido actually escaped?

Is Kaido's second job a locksmith? Is there no handcuffs in the world that can lock Kaido? How many times has he escaped from the navy's hands?

"Can you change your words?" Zhan Guo said unhappily, but then he said to Lu Kai apologetically, "This time it's my fault. A big pirate like Kaido has many powerful subordinates. I shouldn't have let only one vice admiral escort him. If I had known, I would have asked you to escort him in person."

Zhan Guo said with an unhappy look on his face: "And the navy has lost all its face this time. It has only been a few days since they announced the capture of Kaido, and now Kaido has escaped."

"General Zhan Guo, you don't have to blame yourself. After all, no one could have predicted this kind of thing." Lu Kai felt helpless and could only say this.

The reason why Lukai insisted on dealing with Kaido has a lot to do with his desire to help Wano Country avoid national disaster.

Although Luke doesn't like Oden, because Oden's self-righteous but extremely stupid appearance makes Luke uncomfortable, the people of Wano Country are innocent, and if Luke can help the people of Wano Country, he will naturally do his best.

But I didn't expect that Kaido, who was in my hands, still escaped. Moreover, Kaido's next step is definitely to go to Wano Country. Do I have to go on an expedition to conquer him? However, I am afraid that the Navy Headquarters will not agree with my move.

"You've worked hard this time, and the credit is still the same, and you won't be given less." Zhan Guo comforted Lu Kai.

"It's not hard. It's my duty to capture the vicious pirates." Lu Kai answered loudly.

Luke doesn't plan to take care of Kaido's affairs for the time being. Kaido won't be able to cause any trouble in a short period of time anyway, so next, Luke will start preparing for the competition.

Cap was also eager to show off his skills, so he personally "instructed" Luke for the next ten days. This was an opportunity that others would love to have.

The result was that Lu Kai was beaten black and blue every day.

Because Luke wanted to maximize his basic attributes in a short period of time, he did not use the extremely destructive killing moves of the devil fruit.

During the battle with Garp, apart from his own strength, Lucai only used teleportation. In this case, Lucai naturally could not be Garp's opponent.

But Luke never gets tired of it. Every battle with Garp brings him great improvement. It is not easy to find a super sparring partner of this level. There are only a few in the world.

But even though Luke was beaten badly, Cap had to marvel at Luke's progress again.

If Luke doesn't use his Devil Fruit ability to kill, and only uses teleportation, it will be difficult for Garp to defeat Luke.

However, Garp has extremely rich combat experience, and because he has watched Lukai grow every step of the way, he understands his ability to teleport better than ordinary people.

In addition, Garp's observation Haki is extremely high, so it is easy for Garp to predict Luke's attack trajectory. Luke's attacks are either avoided by Garp or blocked by his iron fists.

Other high-ranking officials also wanted to train Luke, including the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Kong, Admiral Buddha's Sengoku, and the Chief Instructor of the Marine Headquarters, Zephyr the Black Arm, all of whom personally fought against Luke during this period.

Several people were full of praise for Lu Kai. In terms of basic combat ability alone, Lu Kai had already reached the level of some veteran lieutenant generals.

Moreover, each of them watched Lu Kai grow up, but his growth rate was really amazing.

If the ability of the Space Fruit is taken into account, Lu Kai now has the strength of an admiral and can be said to be the undisputed highest combat force in the navy.

Moreover, Luke's devil fruit ability is good at escaping. If Luke is determined to escape, no one in the world can stop him.

So it is no exaggeration to say that there is probably no one in the world who can truly threaten Lu Kai.

Half a month later, all the generals and officers recruited to participate in the competition arrived, and the entire naval headquarters was bustling with activity.

And Lu Kai also met his old friend Akaitis in the West Sea.

At that time, Silva of the Lion Pirates used the alias Rodan and committed crimes in the West Sea.

Later, when attacking Silba, Luke suddenly appeared and killed the powerful Silba with great force, which shocked Arcaetis completely.

From then on, the two became friends, and Akatis taught Lukai the Dark-Dark Fruit secretly without telling anyone.

However, Akaitis, who had never seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, actually thought that the fruit he gave to Luke was the Space Fruit when he saw that Luke used the power of the Space Fruit later.

But even if he knew, Akaitis would keep it a secret for Luke. After all, only the two of them knew about it. If he didn't say it, it would be the truth, and it would do him no good if he told it.

In the two years that followed, Luke was invited by Akaitis to help him deal with several pirate groups several times, and the relationship between the two became very close.

As a branch major general who truly cares about the people, although Akaitis is not very strong, Lukai still respects him very much, so Lukai took the rare time to invite Akaitis to a bar in the town of the Navy Headquarters for a drink.

Seeing Luke's current achievements, Akaitis was also deeply moved. Although they were both major generals, Luke was already a major general of the navy headquarters, while Akaitis was only a major general of the branch. There was no comparison at all.

Moreover, Akaitis truly felt Luke's prestige. Anyone from the headquarters' navy who came to the tavern and saw Luke would be very excited and enthusiastic to greet him, and many people's faces were full of admiration for Luke.
