Chapter 234: Trajectory Deviation, Olive Branch

Moreover, if history had developed normally, Dressrosa should not have been attacked by pirates during this period, and Cyrus would not have left the Colosseum at this time, which made Luke wonder if this was caused by the butterfly effect he himself had triggered.

As several leaders of the pirates were taken back to Iron Army No. 1, the war came to an end. After ordering the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Riku brought the army captain and Cyrus to Luke.

"Lieutenant General Lu Kai, thank you very much for your support!" King Liku said with deep gratitude, "It is because of your timely arrival that we did not suffer too much loss."

Luke smiled and waved his hand, saying, "This is my duty. No need to thank me. But I am very curious, where do these pirates come from? Why would they attack Dressrosa so desperately?"

Hearing this, King Riku's face turned a little ugly, and he said, "It should be the pirates' revenge. I have a good relationship with the countries I have been in the recent past, and we have reached mutual assistance agreements. Over the years, I have helped many countries resist the invasion of pirates. It is inevitable that some of these pirates hold a grudge against us."

Lu Kai fell into deep thought, still feeling that something was wrong. If these pirates were here for revenge, why would they even sacrifice their own lives? Was there really such a huge hatred?

What's even more strange is that when these pirates saw Lu Kai leading the iron army arriving, they still fought to the death. No one retreated or showed any fear. This was even more abnormal.

However, Luke did not tell King Liku about his doubts. Instead, he turned to Cyrus and said, "This hero is the greatest contributor to this war, right? What should I call him?"

When Cyrus heard Luke's words, he was startled, then quickly lowered his head, his whole face flushed red, but a very strange feeling arose in his heart.

Hero? The greatest contributor? Is this the praise I deserve?

No, he must not know what kind of person I was before to praise me like this. Once he knows that I am a murderer, he will definitely hate me.

But I did make a great contribution to this war. Will other people change their views of me?

Lieutenant General Lu Kai, even someone like me who never cares about what’s happening outside has heard of him and seen his photos. He is a great hero in the eyes of people all over the world. Could he be different from others?

At the age of 19, Cyrus, who had been hiding in the arena and was ignorant of the world, was shocked by Lucai's words and became dazed.

"Lieutenant General Lukai, this is the star of our Dressrosa Bullfighting Arena, his name is Cyrus." King Riku hurriedly introduced.

"The Colosseum?" Lu Kai frowned upon hearing this, and said to Cyrus in confusion, "With your powerful skills and your selfless attitude in protecting the people, you are obviously a righteous and kind person.

"A man like you should defend your country and make achievements. Why are you willing to become a gladiator in the arena?"

Lu Kai's four disciples standing by could hardly hold back their laughter when they heard what Lu Kai said, knowing that their master was going to fool people again.

In their opinion, Lu Kai clearly wanted to recruit the other party out of respect for his talent, but he looked very puzzled.

It was obvious that he took advantage of the other party's naivety and set traps for him step by step. Look how frightened Cyrus was. He was stunned.

Lu Kai really only thought so. Cyrus is only 19 years old this year. He has reached level 53 through his own training and combat attributes. He has also mastered the two-color domineering. Where can you find such a talent?

Besides, Cyrus is still far from reaching his peak. Under Lu Kai's training, he will only continue to break through his limits and become stronger and stronger.

In the comics, he was able to kill Diamante, who had the average strength of a lieutenant admiral, with only one leg. Now that he is under Luke's command, it is not impossible for him to surpass the level of admiral in the future.

Moreover, Cyrus is a man of loyalty and righteousness. Once he joins Lucae's army, his loyalty will definitely not be a problem. This is also a point that Lucae values ​​very much.

But Cyrus on the side was already numb.

Strong skills, fearless, righteous and kind? Are you talking about me?

Cyrus felt dizzy. This was the highest praise he had ever heard in his life, and it made him want to cry.

"General Luke, you don't know this." King Liku explained, "Four years ago, Cyrus killed someone to avenge his friend. To atone his sin, he volunteered to stay in the arena."

"I see!" Lu Kai immediately had an expression of sudden enlightenment, and gave Cyrus a thumbs up and said, "Very loyal, although the means were wrong, it was essentially out of friendship, and it's normal for young people to not make mistakes.

"Fifteen is the most impulsive age. Have these useless apprentices of mine made enough mistakes? As the saying goes, knowing one's mistakes is the best way to improve. How can such talents be buried in a small arena?"

Lu Kai's four disciples nodded quickly, looking as if they couldn't agree more. If they didn't cooperate now, when would they cooperate?

Luke turned to King Liku and said, "Your Excellency King Liku, Luke dares to ask you for a favor. How about pardoning Cyrus and letting him join my iron army?

"I admire him so much, and I need such talents in my iron army.

"As long as you are willing to help me, I will accept this favor. In the future, as long as you open your mouth, I can do anything for you within my ability. Of course, the premise is that this matter does not violate the laws of the World Government."

Luke's move was not only to recruit Cyrus, but also to help Dressrosa avoid Doflamingo's theft of the country.

Whether King Riku would really use this favor to ask Luke for help is one thing, but as long as others knew that Luke and King Riku had a good relationship, he didn't believe that Doflamingo would have the courage to do anything to Dressrosa.

And when that day really comes, King Riku only needs to shout: Go and ask General Luquet... Luquet will also have sufficient reasons to help and will never let Doflamingo succeed.

At this moment, King Liku only felt his heart bleeding.

You know, Cyrus was someone he had his eyes on, and he even planned to make Cyrus his subordinate one day in the future.

But he did hope that Cyrus could step out of the shadow of the past and live his own life.

Sighing, King Riku finally spoke: "In fact, he could have left long ago and regained his freedom, but he has always been unwilling to do so, so this matter depends on his own wishes!"

Cyrus was very confused at the moment. Everything that had just happened was beyond his expectations, so he had no idea what choice to make.

In fact, he was not mentally prepared to leave the arena, but seeing Lu Kai's heartfelt appreciation and eagerness, he didn't know how to refuse.

A gentleman will die for his friend. Since he was born, Lucae is the first person who does not mind Cyrus's identity as a murderer, and praises him and appreciates him without reservation. His attitude towards him is completely different from that of anyone else.

This made him want to cry, and his affection for Lu Kai increased rapidly.

But Cyrus was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. King Reku had done him a great favor, and he had not yet repaid the favor. How could he just leave?
