Chapter 218: Desire for Power, Shocking the World
"There's even Charlotte Lingling who would destroy an entire country and slaughter all the people just because she didn't get to eat what she wanted. Do you think that's awesome?
"Is it true that the only way for you, the Big Mom Pirates, to show your power and dominance is by slaughtering those civilians?" Luke shouted, even getting angry at himself.
"You are just a bunch of bastards. If Charlotte Lingling destroys another country because of food again, I will make sure that she will never be able to eat again."
Lukai's eyes turned cold and he stared at Katakuri: "I know you are pirates and you ignore the rules, but ignoring the rules does not mean you have to hurt others.
"As pirates, have you ever seen Whitebeard or Roger do such low-level things? Just because you are strong, can you do whatever you want? Can you ignore the feelings of others?
"If the bigger the fist, the more truth it is, then can I go and kill your whole family right now?"
After speaking coldly, Lu Kai calmed down his excitement a little, and then continued: "Only allowing your own family to hurt others, but not allowing others to even raise the slightest objection, what kind of bullshit is this?
"You want me to let your family go? Do those people whose countries you destroyed, whose homes you destroyed, and whose relatives you killed have any family members? Who can they turn to for justice?"
Katakuri stood there for a long time, unable to move, and kept thinking about Lu Kai's words. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and said seriously: "I understand, I will never let this happen again. I will stop mom. I just hope you can give my family a chance."
Lu Kai nodded and said, "In that case, our agreement is reached. Not killing your family twice is my gift to you. As long as you can abide by the agreement, I will not cause trouble for you again.
"But if you don't do it, don't blame me for being ruthless.
"When that day comes, I will definitely fulfill my duty as a marine and capture you all in one fell swoop. By then, no one in your family will be able to escape."
Although the words were harsh, Katakuri did not dare to doubt the truthfulness of Luke's words at all, and he seriously suspected that Luke was hiding his strength.
During the first battle, Lu Kai intended to let them go, which means that from that time on, Lu Kai had already had plans for today.
How confident was Lu Kai to have thought of such a plan in the first place? Could he be sure that he could beat his mother?
If this is true, then how terrifying is Lu Kai's true strength? But why does he hide his strength?
But no matter how smart Katakuri is, it is impossible for him to guess it without any clues.
Katakuri didn't dwell on this issue too much. After all, his family was saved, which made him feel relieved.
But soon Katakuri felt the burden in his heart became heavier and he was under particular pressure. How easy would it be to stop the entire Big Mom Pirate Group from harming civilians?
He also felt a strong sense of humiliation for having to surrender to the enemy, and the key point was that he had to do so.
"One last question." Katakuri finally couldn't help but ask Luke his doubts, "Why me?"
"I've said before that I've done a thorough investigation of your pirate group." Luke explained, "In the entire Big Mom Pirates, you care about your family the most, and you're also a real man who dares to do and dares to take responsibility, so I'm willing to believe that you will keep your promise.
"You should be thankful that it was you who was the one to cover the retreat today so that your family could be saved. If it had been anyone else, it would have meant that my judgment of you was wrong.
"Then I will kill you without hesitation. Even if the plan fails, I don't want to give you another chance to do evil."
Luke ignored Katakuri's reaction and continued, "Of course, if one day you can defeat me in a head-on battle, you can unilaterally break the agreement.
"After all, I would never do such a low-level and disgusting thing as taking it out on your family when I can't beat you."
Katakuri nodded and said, "I understand."
Although the agreement between the two was established, a series of events and emotions made Katakuri have an unprecedented desire for power at this moment.
It is indeed as Lu Kai said, if you really want to protect your family, you should not waste time on meaningless things. Improving your own strength is the hard truth, and this is also the result Lu Kai hopes to see.
After a while, seeing that Katakuri's mood had calmed down, Luke said, "The Navy Headquarters' warships should be arriving soon, so do you want to go by yourself, or should I give you a ride?"
"I can walk by myself." After more than ten minutes of recovery, Katakuri was able to move normally. After picking up the trident that fell on the ground, Katakuri limped away.
Seeing Katakuri walking away, Lukai immediately used the Sea Current Shoulder Throw to open a passage only as thick as his forearm, and then swung it violently, throwing the narrow passage to the "Iron Army No. 1" thirty miles southwest.
Fu Ya on the warship sensed this passage and her eyes lit up immediately. At this time, a voice sounded at the end of the passage: "Sister, it's done."
"Okay, we'll be there right away." Fu Ya was completely relieved after hearing Lu Kai's voice and said with a smile.
The reason why Lu Kai didn't teleport to the warship himself was because he planned to let the "Iron Army" rest on the uninhabited island. If he teleported back to the warship and then followed the warship back to the uninhabited island, it would be completely unnecessary.
It would be a lie if Fu Ya said she wasn't worried during these seven days, but she had no choice but to believe Lu Kai.
In order to prevent the Navy Headquarters from directly contacting "Iron Army No. 1" and affecting their plans, Lu Kai took away all the Den Den Mushi.
So except for Lu Kai to contact them actively, there was nothing they could do.
The atmosphere in 'Iron Army No. 1' last week was quite depressing. Everyone was very worried about Lu Kai, and at the same time, each of them was extremely unwilling to accept the outcome.
Their boss led the way to face the powerful enemy, but they could only wait on the sidelines, so everyone vented their emotions on training, destroying themselves recklessly.
They naturally knew Lu Kai's concerns.
This time, the force brought by Charlotte Lingling was too strong, with a strength almost ten times that of the 'Iron Army'. Facing such a large force, letting them go would be tantamount to suicide, but they were unwilling to do so and were all holding back a rage in their hearts.
Everyone in the Iron Army secretly vowed to make themselves stronger, so that they could handle any danger and never let Lu Kai down.
