Chapter 248: Sweeping the East China Sea and Recruiting
"What? Looking for Roger's offspring in the East China Sea?" Cyborg Kong was very surprised. "Tell me in detail."
"Okay, old man, didn't you say before that someone reported that Roger appeared on Batirila Island in the South China Sea a year ago and stayed there for a while?
"During this period, Roger also met a mysterious woman whose identity has not yet been investigated. However, according to witnesses, the two of them behaved quite intimately from a distance, so the Five Elders suspected that Roger had left behind a sinful bloodline during this period.
“But according to the latest intelligence I have obtained, Roger secretly returned to the Goa Kingdom in the East China Sea once this year, and his purpose is unknown.
"So I was wondering, is there a possibility that Roger's sinful bloodline is in the East China Sea?
"Since I happened to come to the East China Sea for a mission this time, I thought I might as well check it out. Even if I can't find it, the situation won't get any worse."
What Lu Kai said was of course nonsense.
The purpose of doing this was to allow himself to stay in the East China Sea for a reasonable period of time to achieve his goal.
After all, his current status is too dazzling, and he will be greatly restricted wherever he goes.
By doing this, Luke could also divert the navy's attention to a certain extent and secretly support his master's wife Portgas D. Luju.
Roger's wife, Portgas D. Luju, is extremely intelligent and determined, and is secretly protected by Garp. Luke feels that there is a high probability that she will not be in any danger.
Unless the master's wife is really in danger or arrested, Lu Kai will not interfere too much in her life. This is Roger's order.
In Roger's own words, everyone has their own will, and it is enough to have only Garp to take care of things secretly, so he does not want Luke to interfere in this matter.
After all, this matter is of great importance, and they cannot involve both the master and the apprentice. If they do so, Roger will feel very uneasy. Lu Kai cannot persuade Roger and can only agree. Since he has agreed, Lu Kai must keep his promise.
However, there are still people that Lu Kai wants to help, and that is the pregnant women who will be implicated because of Roger.
They were all innocent, but all of them ended up with two deaths and their families destroyed. This was something Lu Kai would never allow to happen.
"Is that so!" After hearing what Lu Kai said, Steel Bone Kong pondered for a while and said, "Now is a special period. Our headquarters needs your powerful fighting force. But what you said also makes sense. Lu Kai, listen to my orders!"
"Please give me your orders, Marshal!" Lu Kai immediately became serious and said solemnly.
"Because of Roger, the pirates in the East China Sea began to wreak havoc. After careful consideration, I decided to give you an important task.
“I order you to carry out the mission of exterminating pirates in the East China Sea and to deter all pirates. The time limit is three months.
"During this period, you have the power to control any branch of the East China Sea at will, and you can do anything without consulting me later."
"Yes, I will complete the task." Lu Kai responded immediately, and then suddenly relaxed and said to Cyborg Kong, "Thank you, old man!"
"Brat, remember to report any situation at any time." Cyborg Kong cursed with a smile and hung up the phone.
"Marshal Kong, what's wrong with you?" Zhan Guo, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask when he saw Cyborg suddenly frowning.
"Hey, Lu Kai will definitely be the backbone of the navy in the future. He is strong, capable, firm in his stance, smart and obedient.
“I am now worried that he might be influenced by Garp and want to be a vice admiral for the rest of his life. If that is the case, it will definitely be a huge loss for the navy.
"Besides, one of the admiral positions is still vacant, and Zephyr has retreated to the second line. There are too many things to do in the Navy Headquarters, and I can't do without you. If I keep you in the headquarters, the deterrent power of the Navy Admiral will be lost if this continues.
“You have seen his performance in recent years. Not only his ability, but Lu Kai’s performance in government affairs is also very good. Although he has some help from others, it also proves that he knows how to use people.
"What should we do if such a good marshal candidate ends up doing bad things like Garp?" said Cyborg Sora.
"Hahaha!" Zhan Guo suddenly laughed when he heard that, and said, "Marshal Kong, you're really thinking too far ahead. Lu Kai isn't even a general now. Isn't it too early for you to consider him becoming a marshal?"
"Of course it's still too early. If he wants to become a marshal, he still has at least a dozen years to go. By then, you will be the marshal of the Navy Headquarters.
"Actually, these are the issues you should consider when the time comes, but I just value talent. No, wait for the kid to come back. I have to have a good talk with him."
the other side.
Lu Kai, who didn't know what Cyborg was thinking, returned to the port after hanging up the phone and conveyed Cyborg's orders.
Because he received a new mission, he left behind a warship and himself to sweep and deter the pirates in the East China Sea, and all other navy and warships returned immediately.
As for his four disciples, Lu Kai directly drove them away, saying that they would delay things here and asked them to return to G1 to practice.
It would indeed delay things. If it was under Lu Kai's nose, how could the leader of 'Divine Punishment' show up and recruit them?
"I really envy Lieutenant General Lu Kai! I wonder when we can also receive missions directly from the marshal." After the naval fleet left the port, several generals gathered together to talk about Lu Kai, and one of the major generals said enviously.
Lu Kai has become a role model in the eyes of all navy officers, especially the officers and men of the headquarters. He is always a topic of conversation in every conversation. Many new navy officers even regard Lu Kai as an idol.
"You're just a major general. How could the marshal assign you a task directly?" someone next to him mocked.
“But I heard that when Lieutenant General Lu Kai was still a major general, he could already receive missions directly from the marshal,” the major general retorted.
"Haha!" The people next to him looked at the major general who said this, as if he was a fool, and said, "You also want to compete with Lieutenant General Lu Kai?"
A children's shelter next to the Execution Square in the center of Roge Town.
A strange-looking man was cooking today's dinner in the kitchen, singing happily while cooking.
The man was very short, only half the height of an adult, only about one meter, with an untidy beard that made him look very old, but his face was always filled with smiles. But suddenly, the man's smile froze, and he suddenly turned his head to look.
I saw a person wearing a ghost face mask and a white hooded cloak standing behind the man and staring at him.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the man asked with great vigilance.
"I never thought that the legendary great pirate, the man praised by Roger and Whitebeard, the 'Giant' Mohammed, would become a babysitter for a child."
A faint voice sounded from under the ghost mask, and the speaker was naturally Lu Kai, who had used his ability to change his voice.
