Chapter 150: Unprecedented Record, Shocking Many Parties
The newspaper also published the news that Red Wind Lu Kai defeated all opponents in the internal navy competition and defeated the equally famous Major General Borsalino in the final to win the first place in the internal navy competition.
The news that Lu Kai became a vice admiral at the age of sixteen also shocked the whole world, because it was an unprecedented record.
What is even more shocking is that Lu Kai is actually going to guard the New World for the Marine Headquarters.
You have to know that the New World is the sea where the Four Emperors are located. There are countless strong people. Even the admirals of the Navy Headquarters dare not speak of intimidation lightly. However, the Navy Headquarters used this word when promoting Luke.
Does this mean they have absolute confidence in him? Or is this just another propaganda trick? Aren't they afraid of exacerbating the conflict?
In the West Sea, King Russell received the news that Luke won the first place in the Navy Headquarters Competition before the newspapers published it. The one who brought him the news was Luke's current die-hard fan Akaitis.
As soon as he received the news, Russell told Demo and the others through Den Den Mushi.
Then, three days later, the newspaper published a report on Lu Kai. The newspaper not only published the news that Lu Kai won the first place in the Navy Headquarters competition.
It even published the news that Lu Kai was promoted to vice admiral, serving as the supreme commander of G1 to guard the New World for the Navy Headquarters.
"Lulu..." Xiaolong's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Kai's photo in the newspaper. He immediately snatched the newspaper and looked at it carefully.
"My silly brother really did it." Fu Ya also showed a gratified smile.
Now eighteen-year-old Fu Ya has grown into a big girl, with long flowing hair, fair skin, delicate features, red lips and white teeth, like a fairy.
But what really made Fu Ya happy was that the plan she and Lu Kai had worked out together was about to be fully implemented, and she would be able to stay with Lu Kai for a long time in the future.
"Hahaha! I knew this kid could do it." Dimo's face was also full of joy. "It's only been a year since we last met. Has this kid's strength grown to this level?"
"I don't know if he has taken enough rest." Xinna said worriedly, "This child has been well behaved since he was young, but he is not obedient at all in this regard and doesn't know how to take care of himself at all."
"To guard the New World for the Navy Headquarters? Isn't it too early?" After the excitement, Dimo muttered to himself with some worry, "Is it too early?"
Xinna couldn't help but frown when she heard this.
Fu Ya was very calm, looking in the direction of G1, but she couldn't hide her relieved smile. The heartless Xiao Long kept grinning at Lu Kai's photo.
New World, an island.
"Captain, Captain!" An anxious voice broke the tranquility of the island.
"Shanks, what's so reckless about this?" Rayleigh frowned and asked when he saw the newcomer shouting loudly from a distance.
"It's Lu Kai, big news about Lu Kai." Shanks shook the newspaper in his hand and said anxiously.
Rayleigh quickly took the newspaper from Shanks, quickly read it, and handed it to Roger beside him.
"You haven't seen this kid for a while, right? I didn't expect he has grown to this point." Rayleigh said with a smile.
"Guarding the New World? Hahaha!" Roger also finished reading the newspaper and laughed. "The Navy is really bold to assign such an important mission to a 16-year-old kid, even though he has no problem with his ability."
Roger put down the newspaper, looked at the extremely excited Shanks, and asked, "Why are you so concerned about Luke's news? Is it because you see that he is only three years older than you and has achieved what he has today, and you want to surpass him?"
Shanks' face turned red immediately and he shook his head quickly, "No, I didn't, Captain, you are talking nonsense."
"Hahaha!" A group of senior executives on Roger's pirate ship laughed loudly.
They all admired Shanks very much and believed that he would definitely be an outstanding figure in the future. Naturally, they paid a lot of attention to him and saw through his thoughts at a glance.
Shanks was naturally unwilling to be mediocre. At the age of 13, he often wanted to do something big in the future. At the same time, Shanks secretly vowed to become a hero like Roger and never embarrass Captain Roger.
But he was always told that he was too young and not to be in a hurry.
Two years ago, after seeing Lucaire for the first time, who was only 14 years old at the time, Shanks was stunned. The 14-year-old Lucaire could actually fight back and forth with his deputy captain Rayleigh, and even withstood a blow from Captain Roger.
Although Rayleigh was obviously letting up at the time and Roger did not use his full strength at all, the opponent was still much stronger than him.
From then on, Shanks began to collect and pay attention to every bit of information about Lukai, making him his target.
Luke first came to prominence when he attacked 17 bandit strongholds in a row in the Itachissia Kingdom. This incident was not reported in the newspapers, but everyone in the Itachissia Kingdom knew about it. With the intelligence capabilities of the Roger Pirates, it was quite easy to find out this.
Luke's first appearance to the world was during the Nice Island incident in the West Sea. At the age of twelve, he defeated the powerful man of the Grand Line - Silva, the former vice-captain of the Lion King Pirates. After that, he repelled and wiped out pirates several times to protect the country.
Two years ago, 14-year-old Luke joined the navy and became a disciple of the navy's powerful hero Garp. On the first day of joining the navy, he independently took on the escort mission of the King and Princess of Itachissia and completed the mission successfully.
In the same year, during the blunder at the Naval Headquarters Square, Luke fought alone against more than 200 marines and officers. He only defended and did not attack, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. He even defeated Borsalino, who was already famous at that time.
After this incident, many people in the Navy Headquarters challenged Luke, but Luke was victorious in every battle and dominated the world.
Later, Luke followed Garp directly into the New World and began to fight directly with various pirates. Among them, the pirates that Luke fought included famous pirate groups such as their Roger Pirates, Golden Lion's Flying Pirates, and Whitebeard Pirates.
Afterwards, Luke single-handedly wiped out the notorious Dark Pirates and Divine Fire Pirates in the New World. Not long ago, he single-handedly arrested Kaido, a super strong man recognized by even Roger and one of the future Four Emperors.
And now, Luke defeated Borsalino, who was called a monster, in the internal competition of the Navy and won the first place, becoming the youngest vice admiral in the history of the Navy Headquarters. At the same time, he directly became the supreme commander of the G1 branch and guarded the New World for the Navy Headquarters.
Lukai's actions brought a huge shock to Shanks, but also gave him great confidence, so that he was no longer troubled by his age, and also made him train and fight harder.
Because of the butterfly effect caused by Luke, Shanks is much stronger than he should be at his age.
However, Shanks still takes Luke as his role model, because the fighting power shown by Luke is much stronger than when he was the same age, but he is not discouraged, but more motivated.
It wasn't just the Roger Pirates who were shocked. This news report caused an uproar around the world, and countless people in countless places were discussing this matter.
