Chapter 173 Captain Tang, Winning People's Hearts
A navy soldier hijacked several G1 logistics soldiers and forced the G1 base to send warships to help his hometown resist pirates.
And those non-commissioned officers who had just helped the village of Kiwaro to get closer to Lukai once again felt Lukai's death gaze.
"What the hell is going on here!" Lu Kai glanced at the officers angrily, "We still have one day to go back home. All of you must write a report on all the petty things Stanway has done in G1 over the years.
"One copy for each of you. The more detailed the better. Submit it to me in one day. If anyone dares to write something less detailed, I will regard him as a Stanway loyalist and deal with him together at that time."
Then, Luke ignored everyone's expressions, talked to Clyde about some related matters, and immediately took Xiaolong and Fuya to use the power of the devil fruit to disappear in the conference room. He used the "Space Over Shoulder Throw" to open the space channel and rushed to G1 first.
At this moment, in a corner of the hall on the first floor of the G1 base, six logistics soldiers huddled together, trembling all over, and their bodies were tied with explosives.
In front of the six people was a man with the rank of naval captain, who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. At this moment, he was holding the remote control of the bomb in his hand, his eyes were red, and he was almost crazy.
"As a sailor, if I can't even save my hometown, what's the point of this identity?" The captain yelled at the sailors surrounding him with guns.
"Captain Tang, we can discuss something. Put down the remote control first. I will let you out to sea right now... so that you can save your hometown!" The person who spoke was none other than Stanway who stayed in G1.
Stanway's head was about to explode at this moment. Just now, the incident in Kiwaro Village happened, and now this happened again. If it were in the past, he could cover up all the things with one hand, but the headquarters sent Lu Kai, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
"You? Hahaha!" Captain Tang laughed as if he had heard a joke, and said sarcastically, "Didn't you, Stanway, tell me yesterday that if I leave, you will immediately treat me as a deserter?
"And you said you would send a fleet to capture me and execute me. Now I'm guilty of several crimes, kidnapping and endangering the army. Will you really let me go?"
Stanway's face turned red after being scolded by Captain Tang, but he didn't dare to get angry because he had just received news that Lu Kai was on his way back to G1.
The distance was already close, and with the ability of Lukai's devil fruit, he could arrive at any time. Stanway could only suppress his anger and said to Captain Tang: "Don't be impulsive, I mean what I say."
"Hahaha!" Captain Tang couldn't help laughing again, and said, "If you can believe what Stanway says, I will write my name upside down. Anyway, I can't go back, and no one will save my hometown. In this case, what else do I have to worry about?"
"Is this another one of your Steinway's doing?" At this moment, a voice floated from the air, followed by a figure.
The figure was wearing a red custom-made suit and a cape. It was Lu Kai who was riding a horse at full speed back to the base.
"Lieutenant General Luke, it's a misunderstanding!" Stanway explained quickly, "It was this captain who kidnapped other marines to rebel..."
"Shut up!" Lu Kai glared at Stanway, interrupted him directly, and then looked at Captain Tang.
Lu Kai glanced at the six ordinary people who were in fear, stared at Captain Tang coldly, and said, "Captain, why do you do this?"
"Why, why...Hahaha!" Captain Tang was on the verge of collapse and shouted, "Because my hometown is being invaded by pirates, but all of you are indifferent.
"It's fine if you didn't go to rescue me, but you didn't allow me to rescue myself. You said I'd be a deserter if I left without permission and they wanted to execute me. Haha! We can't survive anyway, so the worst that can happen is that we all die together..."
Lu Kai looked at Stanway and was about to explode, but Stanway quickly explained: "It's really not my fault this time. Captain Tang's hometown is not a member of the World Government and is not under the protection of our navy. The headquarters will not allow us to sail."
"Is it not possible for him to just ask for leave and go back?" Lu Kai asked coldly.
"I... I just..." Stanway stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time.
"Lu Kai, stop pretending, you are all the same!" Captain Tang was already mad at this moment, and he was so excited that he lost his ability to distinguish. Captain Tang shouted wildly: "As a sailor, if you can't even protect your hometown, then what is the meaning of so-called justice?
"It's too late for me to rush back now. I don't want to live anymore after my hometown is destroyed. So, no one should think about having an easy life. Let's die together!"
Captain Yan Bitang directly pressed the remote control of the bomb, and then with a "boom", a huge explosion sounded.
But everyone felt extremely strange, because the sound of the explosion did not come from the hall, but from the sky above.
The shock wave from the explosion caused such a strong gust of wind that it was impossible to open one's eyes for a moment. When the strong wind died down, everyone looked up and saw Lu Kai standing there in the air where the explosion had just occurred.
At this moment, Lu Kai's cloak was blown to pieces, as if it had just suffered a violent explosion. And three or four meters below Lu Kai, the six tied logistics soldiers were unharmed because they were protected by Lu Kai.
At the critical moment, Lu Kai teleported the six people with explosives tied to their bodies into the sky and untied the ropes that tied the bombs as quickly as possible.
But because the explosion came too quickly, Lu Kai didn't have time to teleport the bomb away, and could only protect the six people and use his own body to withstand the explosion.
Well, at least that's what it looks like on the surface.
The fact is that Lu Kai was unharmed. It was just the explosion of a bomb, which could not cause any substantial harm to him.
What's more, Lu Kai's current suit has been endowed with the attributes of mutant snake eggs, and Fu Ya has given it several other strong attributes to match it. Even he can't damage it, let alone a mere explosion?
Moreover, Luke could have kept his cloak intact and used his ability to defuse the bomb and move away. This was too easy for Luke.
Didn't you see Fu Ya below looking calm? Didn't you see Xiao Long beside him looking confused, wondering why Lu Kai looked a little embarrassed?
However, Lu Kai still took the blow in order to use the tactic of inflicting pain on himself to quickly win over the hearts of the lower-level soldiers.
"Lieutenant General Lu Kai, are you okay?" Many Marines shouted loudly below, showing great concern for Lu Kai's situation.
The next moment, Lu Kai teleported to the ground with the six people he was protecting and gently put them down.
"Lieutenant General Lu Kai, you...you actually did this for us..." A person protected by Lu Kai burst into tears at this moment.
Seeing Lu Kai, who was almost seriously injured and in such a miserable state, he was deeply moved.
"I'm glad you're all okay!" Lu Kai seemed not to care. He smiled slightly and then walked up to Captain Tang.
"Lieutenant General Lu Kai..." Seeing Lu Kai who was willing to use his body to block the violent explosion for his subordinates' relatives, Captain Tang had calmed down at this moment. Then, Captain Tang was frightened by his own crazy behavior and broke out in a cold sweat.
