Chapter 151 Returning to the West Sea, Something Big Happened
Lu Kai had no idea how much of a sensation the news about him had caused around the world, because he was rushing home with great joy in his heart.
After arriving at G1, Lu Kai only rested for three days. After reporting to the headquarters, he drove his own exclusive warship to the West Sea. As for the reason, it was naturally because Lu Kai wanted to fulfill his promise.
Lu Kai couldn't control his excitement at the thought of being home soon.
In the past two years, Lu Kai has thought about bringing Fu Ya and Xiao Long to his side many times, but he held back when he thought of Fu Ya's arrangements.
In Fu Ya's words, the short separation now is so that they can be together all the time in the future, and they can't waste it.
Fu Ya knew Lu Kai too well, so her concerns were justified, mainly from three aspects:
Firstly, the reason why Lu Kai has carried out countless extremely dangerous missions and fought desperately in the past two years is because he is focused on his task. In addition, in order to bring Fu Ya and Xiao Long to his side as soon as possible, he will be greatly motivated, full of energy, and fearless of everything.
However, if Fu Ya and Xiao Long stayed with Lu Kai, he would certainly be full of concerns and would unconsciously avoid some dangers because he did not want to make them worry. In this way, Lu Kai's promotion speed would inevitably be seriously hindered.
Secondly, if Fu Ya and Xiao Long had followed Lu Kai from the beginning and demonstrated their strength, they would have inevitably taken away the light that should have belonged to Lu Kai and hindered their plans.
However, if they keep a low profile and just serve as ordinary marines, they will not be able to train properly under the watchful eyes of the public, and the speed of their strength improvement will be seriously affected.
Instead of doing this, it is better to separate temporarily and turn the longing into motivation to stimulate them to work harder. Facts have proved that this is effective. In the past two years, whether it is Lu Kai, Fu Ya or Xiao Long, they have gone crazy during training.
Thirdly, when Lu Kai first joined the navy, he was just a sergeant. If Fu Ya and Xiao Long followed him but did not show their abilities, they would have to do a lot of meaningless things like a low-level soldier, which would be frustrating and would affect their training.
Besides, Xiaolong is such a big eater that he eats as much as dozens of people. Given Luke's military rank at the time, others would definitely have opinions about this. Even if Garp had no objection, it would still be embarrassing for him and would make Xiaolong and Fuya feel depressed.
Lu Kai, who always obeyed Fu Ya's orders, had no choice but to separate from them temporarily. But now, Lu Kai has exceeded the tasks assigned by Fu Ya and no longer has to worry about anything.
Now Lu Kai is no longer a rootless person. As the base chief and supreme commander of G1, he has absolute power, so eating is naturally not a problem.
At that time, as long as Xiaolong can show her strength at the level of a lieutenant general, it will be natural for her to eat the meals for 500 people when she can fight against a thousand people alone. What's more, Xiaolong doesn't eat every meal.
Even though Xiaolong consumes a lot of energy due to training, he only needs to eat once every three days, which is actually equivalent to the amount for fifty people in one meal. It is just like having fifty more marines in the base. It is really not much, but the effect is much greater.
So from now on, whether Lu Kai keeps Fu Ya and Xiao Long with him or has to leave them at the base due to special circumstances, Lu Kai is completely at ease.
They were Lu Kai's sisters, who dared to bully them? If someone really offended them, they would deserve to be beaten by them, and no one dared to say anything.
In order to get home as soon as possible, Lu Kai chose to go directly from the New World through the Calm Belt back to the West Sea.
In addition, with the continuous sailing day and night, the round trip journey that took more than two months only took one month, shortening the time by half.
So Lu Kai was not in a hurry and stayed in the training room of the warship to practice hard.
However, the warship had only been on the move for one day, and before the doldrums even arrived, when a soldier in charge of communications rushed into the training room with a Den Den Mushi in his hand, shouting anxiously, "Lieutenant General Lu Kai, something's wrong!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Kai paused and immediately stopped training. He appeared next to the soldier and took the Den Den Mushi.
"Is that Lu Kai?" Russell's anxious voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Brother, it's me. What happened?" Lu Kai asked hurriedly.
"We can't contact Dimo, Sina and Olin either!" Russell said hurriedly.
Lu Kai's heart sank suddenly when he heard this, and his aura suddenly exploded uncontrollably. The air around him suddenly became heavy, almost suffocating the soldiers next to him.
Russell didn’t know Lu Kai’s condition, so he continued, “A few days ago I told them that you were coming back, and they were all so happy, and they were all at home preparing to welcome you.
"You know, I have the only Den Den Mushi in the Itachisiya Kingdom that can communicate across the world, and the Den Den Mushi waves they use cannot reach the Grand Line.
"So they specifically told me to contact you more often and keep them informed of your situation. It shouldn't be impossible for them to not be able to contact you.
"So I contacted the local army and asked them to send someone to check. The people who went to check said that they had all disappeared suddenly, and there were signs of fighting outside Quanshui Town."
When Lu Kai heard this, his vision suddenly went dark and he almost fell down. After a while, Lu Kai's eyes gradually regained some rationality, but a cold murderous intent burst out from his eyes.
In this situation, there is no need to think about it, something must have happened.
"Lu Kai, don't worry. I will continue to send people to investigate the situation. I will tell you immediately as soon as I have any news about them." Russell said hurriedly when he heard that Lu Kai had not made any movement for a long time.
"Brother, I will use the power of the devil fruit to rush back first. I will carry the Den Den Mushi with me. Please be sure to inform me of the situation at any time." Lu Kai said hurriedly.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Kai immediately ordered the warship to stay on standby, while he himself used the "Space Overhand Throw" to open the space channel, using the space channel to continuously accelerate and rush towards Itachisya.
When accelerated to the extreme, Lu Kai's maximum flying speed can reach ten times the speed of sound, so a sound barrier appeared directly in front of Lu Kai.
The resistance of the sound barrier is extremely large. In order to offset the resistance, Lu Kai covered his body with the force of space the whole time. However, this consumed a huge amount of Lu Kai's physical energy, but Lu Kai couldn't care less at the moment.
The reason why teleportation was not chosen was because teleportation would consume Lu Kai's physical energy exponentially as the distance increased, and it was not suitable for large-scale, long-distance, and uninterrupted travel.
Therefore, continuously accelerating and flying through the space channel is currently the fastest way. Three hours later, Lu Kai finally arrived at Quanshui Town.
Because he had been pushing his limits to speed up his journey, Lu Kai now had almost no strength left. He was sweating profusely and looked exhausted.
But Lu Kai didn't care about these at all. He immediately opened up the 'invincible space' to investigate the situation in Quanshui Town. At the same time, he kept adjusting his breathing and taking every opportunity to recover his strength.
