Chapter 236 The Sentence Has Been Set
Upon hearing this, the communications soldier next to him quickly took out a white Den Den Mushi from his pocket and handed it to Lu Kai.
After Lu Kai took it, he teleported back to his room, turned on the white Den Den Mushi for anti-eavesdropping, and placed it next to the Den Den Mushi used for phone calls.
"Grandpa, I have done as you said. I wonder if you have any instructions." Lu Kai immediately said respectfully.
"You know about Roger's arrest, right?"
"I just found out!" Lu Kai replied.
"The government will make this public tomorrow!" Cyborg continued, "I want to announce to the public that it was you who arrested him, and let you take the credit."
"What?" Lu Kai immediately widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
Lu Kai himself couldn't remember how long it had been since he was so surprised. It took him a while to come back to his senses and asked, "Old man, wasn't Roger arrested? Then the navy that arrested him should just take the responsibility. Why should I pretend to be the hero?"
Hearing Lu Kai's question, Cyborg on the Den Den Mushi side hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Roger surrendered himself."
"What? Roger turned himself in?" Lu Kai pretended to be extremely surprised.
"Don't tell anyone about this." Cyborg warned.
"I promise not to tell anyone, but can I ask why it was me and not the teacher? After all, the teacher has always been on the front line of hunting down Roger, so it would be more reasonable to announce to the public that it was him." Lu Kai continued to ask.
"Garp refused and even had a tantrum. What a willful guy!" Cyborg said in a very unhappy voice.
"I'm sorry, Marshal, but please allow me to refuse." Lu Kai answered very seriously.
"What? You refuse?" This time it was Cyborg's turn to be surprised, "Why?"
"First of all, as a vice admiral, I think it is extremely shameful to claim credit for someone else's own achievements. Anyone's credit should be earned with their own hands. You should never claim for credit that does not belong to you. This is what you told me in person at the beginning." Lu Kai said righteously.
"Secondly, the teacher must have his reasons for refusing. If I, as a student, do this regardless of the teacher's reasons, how can I face the teacher?"
"So this person is waiting for me here. You're trying to stop me with my words, right? Humph! One or two of you are so willful." Hearing Lu Kai's refusal without hesitation, Ganggu felt a little unhappy and hung up the phone directly.
After putting down the Den Den Mushi, Lu Kai breathed a sigh of relief. He knew why Garp refused.
Are you kidding? Garp and Roger are like close friends to each other. Although they have different positions, Garp truly appreciates Roger. How could Garp possibly agree with such a fabricated thing?
Roger turned himself in, this was his awareness.
Claiming that it was Garp who captured him was not only a great disrespect to Roger, but also an insult to Garp. Luke naturally could not explain the real reason, so he could only put the blame on Garp.
But his idea was the same as Garp's. How could Luke, a hero who was not even respected enough, do such a thing?
In the meeting room of the Navy Headquarters, Cyborg looked very unhappy. Looking at Garp who was still eating senbei and drinking tea, Cyborg was furious and almost yelled, "Look at you, what kind of students are you teaching?"
"Hahahahaha!" Garp was extremely happy in his heart. Seeing that his student understood him so well, he said happily, "It is extremely shameful to claim military merit falsely. My disciple insisted on principle and refused. Isn't this a good thing?"
"If there is really someone who is eager to take this huge credit, is such a person really worthy of your trust and reuse?
"And once people know that this credit was falsely claimed, this person's future prospects will be ruined. Will he still be able to convince others in the future?"
Garp's words hit Cyborg's heart like a hammer, and woke him up instantly.
Yes, it is really hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse to have such a great achievement come to you.
Although people all over the world don’t know that Roger has surrendered himself, the members of Roger’s pirate group know it. These people are now hiding in various places around the world as if they had disappeared.
If someone really claims the credit, once the matter is exposed, the person who claims the credit will become a laughing stock of the whole world.
"Then just announce to the public that Roger has been captured by the navy, and say nothing else!" Cyborg made the final decision.
The next day, the news of the Pirate King Roger's arrest spread all over the world, causing a huge stir.
Who is Roger? Pirate King!
In the past eight hundred years, he is the only pirate captain in the world who has been to Raftel and obtained the great treasure ONE PIECE.
Roger was supposed to be at the peak of his life at this moment, but he was suddenly arrested by the navy. It was really unbelievable.
Moreover, the World Government issued an execution notice for Roger.
The Navy will publicly execute Roger in two months in Roger's hometown, Roger Town in the East China Sea.
The government issued such an order in order to deter other pirates in one fell swoop.
The time was scheduled for two months later because two months was enough time for the World Government to maximize the impact of capturing Roger.
So what if he is the Pirate King? Won't he still die in the hands of the navy?
Moreover, two months is enough time for anyone in the world who wants to watch the execution to arrive at the scene. This is a kind of public deterrent.
On the same day, Luke received an order to serve as the highest military commander escorting Roger to Rogue Town to assist the World Government in carrying out the execution.
Lu Kai agreed to this request without even thinking about it.
He originally wanted to see this remarkable man off for the last time and witness the hero's final outcome with his own eyes, so he naturally agreed with pleasure.
Besides, he happened to have something to do in the East China Sea, so it was like someone gave him a pillow just when he was sleepy.
Of course, Luke also wanted to see the beginning of the Great Pirate Era.
In Lu Kai's office, besides him, there were only his four disciples. Lu Kai also told them the orders he had received.
For this mission, Lu Kai did not need to dispatch G1's "Iron Army", but directly transferred troops from the Navy Headquarters.
However, Lu Kai planned to take a few of them with him, so that they could witness the end of that man and the beginning of the great pirate era with their own eyes.
"Master, didn't you say that Pirate King Roger is very strong?" Sabine, who admires the strong the most, asked doubtfully.
"Yes, very strong!" Lu Kai said with emotion, "I was beaten badly by him at the beginning. Not only is Mr. Roger very strong, but there are also many experts among his crew."
"But since he is so strong and has so many experts under him, how could he be caught?" Sabine asked again.
"Who told you that Mr. Roger was arrested?" Lu Kai used honorifics to address Roger without hesitation in front of his disciples.
"He wasn't captured?" Lu Kai's disciples said almost in unison.
