Chapter 229: Criteria for Accepting Apprentices, Goodbye Caesar

The second is character, which is a person's conduct and conscience.

No matter how talented a person is, if he has a bad character, Lu Kai will never consider it, as this is equivalent to cultivating bad people for the world.

And Lu Kai's three disciples all have very good personalities.

Whether it was Su Luo who protected the villagers without hesitation, or Sabin who gave the bread to his sister first even when he was almost starving to death, or Cherno who was genuinely happy after helping others, Lu Kai was extremely satisfied.

Finally, it’s about stance. Sabine and Cherno both extremely hate the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

Sabine's parents died because they could not pay the Celestial Gold to the Celestial Dragons. Cherno's tragic experience was due to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons' unlimited indulgence of the evil people on Eagle Island and their indifference to their painful experiences.

As for Su Luo, whatever Lu Kai said was what he believed, because in his eyes, whatever Lu Kai did was right. He had gone crazy.

Therefore, Su Luo, who has been deeply influenced by Lu Kai over the years, like his two junior brothers, has no good feelings towards the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. The three of them also agree with Lu Kai's justice of putting the people first.

Of course, under Lu Kai's solemn reminder, they have never expressed their dissatisfaction with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons in any public occasion. Instead, they have been conscientious in capturing the bad guys.

These three reasons are also the reason why Lu Kai has helped so many people in the past few years and countless people wanted to follow him, but in the end Lu Kai only accepted these three as his disciples.

Others either lack talent, have bad character, or have different stances from Lu Kai.

With Lu Kai's current influence around the world, if he publicly recruited disciples, those who wanted to become his disciples would be able to circle the Grand Line twice. Even if he didn't make it public, there would be hundreds of people who had directly expressed their desire to become Lu Kai's disciples.

This also made Lu Kai's three disciples who knew this even more proud and cherish their status as Lu Kai's disciples even more.

Of course, becoming Lu Kai's disciple does not mean that everything will be fine, because Lu Kai now has a clear plan for his future.

He needs talents, and more importantly, talents that are absolutely trustworthy, so he will not easily tell any of his secrets to anyone other than his family, not even his own disciples.

He will work hard to make his disciples stronger, but in the process, he will never stop observing them for a moment, and this observation will be comprehensive.

On his own warship, Lu Kai always activates his Observation Haki, both to train his Observation Haki itself and to keep abreast of everyone's situation.

Especially when it comes to people he cares about, Lu Kai will pay more attention to them, and use his observation skills that can detect other people's thoughts and feelings to always feel their situation.

It was no wonder that Lu Kai was so careful, because the risks of Lu Kai's creation of Divine Punishment and his final plan were too great, and he absolutely could not afford to make any mistakes.

On May 1498th of 5 in the Haiyuan calendar, it was Fu Ya’s 5th birthday.

Lu Kai came to the Sabaody Archipelago again, and for once he put everything aside, he spent some time with Fu Ya and Xiao Long.

Since Xiaolong didn't know when her birthday was, she simply chose the same day as Fuya's and celebrated it on the same day.

This is the gift Lu Kai gives himself once a year. He exercises hard all year round, but there is always one day in a year that is an exception, and that is Fu Ya’s birthday.

Only on this day will Lu Kai put everything aside, completely relax his body and mind, focus all his attention on Fu Ya and Xiao Long, and meet all their requests.

He did this in order to completely relax his tense nerves and at the same time make up for his guilt towards both of them.

Then the same scene happened again in the Sabaody Archipelago as it did a year ago. After learning the news that Lukai had landed on the island, all the pirates either went out to sea immediately or hid carefully.

Now Lu Kai's deterrent power is even stronger than it was a year ago. Which pirate would be so blind as to dare to confront him?

After the entire "Iron Army" completely relaxed for a day, Lu Kai set out again and arrived at the underwater paradise Fishman Island.

The purpose of coming here is, of course, to fulfill the promise made to Caesar, and the members of the Iron Army can finally go looking for the mermaid sister they have been thinking about.

This time Lu Kai received an even more grand welcome.

Ever since Luke became friends with King Neptune, Princess Otohime, and Jinpei of the Ryugu Kingdom on Fishman Island a year ago, these people have been consciously paying attention to Luke's information over the past year.

Their main channel for obtaining information is naturally the pirates, travelers, and merchants who come to Fishman Island. And because they want to know more about the situation on the ground, they will also ask for outdated newspapers from people who come and go.

So this year, they knew more about the ground than ever before, and had a comprehensive understanding of Lu Kai, and the more they knew, the more shocked they were.

From what they had learned, it was no exaggeration to say that Lu Kai was one of the strongest men on the ground right now. Moreover, Lu Kai would soon become the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and no one had any doubt about that.

But the one who cares most about Luke is Caesar.

Caesar made up his mind to follow Lu Kai a year ago. During this year, he was unwilling to miss even the slightest information about Lu Kai. The more he learned, the more Caesar admired Lu Kai.

Because whether it was what he heard from others or what he saw in the newspapers, Lu Kai's actions were completely in line with the requirements that Caesar's parents had for him since he was a child.

Little Caesar felt extremely warm when he thought of Lu Kairu dropping from the sky to rescue him and taking care of his emotions along the way.

So in Caesar's eyes, Lucie is simply a perfect man, and he worships Lucie to the extreme.

Caesar, who was brought to the Ryugu Palace and taught personally by Princess Otohime, would often discuss Lucius with Princess Otohime and Jinbe. Every time when talking about Lucius, Caesar's eyes would light up.

The more this happened, the more Caesar looked forward to Luke's arrival.

But when he saw Lu Kai again a year later, Caesar became very shy. He didn't dare to look up at Lu Kai at all. Instead, he kept his head down, his blue face turned red, and his little hands were clenched tightly together.

When Lu Kai saw Caesar's appearance, he was immediately amused and couldn't help but reach out and touch Caesar's little head. At the same time, Lu Kai deliberately teased: "Little Caesar, I haven't seen you for a year, how come you don't recognize me?"

"Recognize...recognize...I know you..." Caesar felt his breathing quicken and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

At this moment, Caesar felt extremely ashamed.

He had imagined the scene of meeting Lu Kai again many times, but he never expected that he would be so nervous. The actual performance was completely different from what he imagined.

A year ago, he could have a normal conversation with Lu Kai, but a year later, he didn't even dare to look at Lu Kai.

Fu Ya on the side glared at Lu Kai unhappily. Little Caesar is already like this, and you are still teasing him?
