Chapter 255 Killing Crazy, Nemesis
Chapter 256 Killing like crazy, the Lu Kai era
Three months later, Lu Kai, who had made a big splash in the East China Sea and wiped out a large number of pirates, set out again from Rogue Town.
The warship left Rogue Town, entered the Grand Line from Upside Down Mountain, and headed towards the Navy Headquarters, Marinford.
For a long time afterwards, the East China Sea had the weakest average strength, the fewest pirates, and the lowest average bounty for pirates among the four major seas in the east, west, south, and north.
This situation lasted for more than 20 years, and many people said it was all because of Lu Kai.
When the Great Pirate Era just started, there was such a killing god who shocked the East China Sea for three months. I don't know how many people had the plot of "Fuck the pirate dream" played out by him.
Because the warships had all their supplies in place in Rogue Town, and with the permanent pointer of Marinford, after entering the Grand Line, they did not need to resupply, stop, or take detours, and their speed was extremely fast.
The whirlwind of the Great Pirate Era was also extremely fast. Countless pirate ships swarmed into the sea like dumplings, and pirate flags were hung on the ships one after another.
These people are afraid that if they are a little slow in traveling, ONE PIECE will be gotten there first by someone else.
On the way back, Luke encountered many more pirate groups than three months ago. As long as these pirate groups appeared on Luke's route, Luke would immediately defeat them.
In just over a month's voyage on the Grand Line, plus three months in the East China Sea, Lukai defeated as many as 78 pirate groups, making him a pirate harvester, including 22 on the Grand Line and 56 in the East China Sea.
The ocean is too big, and it is not easy for the navy to encounter pirates in the vast ocean. In addition, Lu Kai was not leading an iron army, so he often chose to act alone based on intelligence.
Every time Luke goes out, several pirate groups will be destroyed.
The reason why there were fewer pirates encountered on the Grand Line was because Luke did not conduct a wide-scale search like he did in the East China Sea. All the pirates killed were those encountered on the road.
We encountered more than 20 pirate groups on the road alone, which is enough to show how many pirates there are now.
Moreover, some pirate groups did not even give way when they saw the warship that Luke was on, so Luke really couldn't find a reason to let them go.
Generally speaking, no matter how strong a pirate is, he or she will not easily provoke the navy. They will usually avoid it if they can, and only fight if they cannot avoid it. And once they find an opportunity during the battle, they will immediately escape.
There are mainly two reasons.
The first is that the power of a warship's long-range artillery is far beyond the reach of ordinary pirate ships. No matter how powerful a pirate group is, if they do not have effective means of defense, they will not be a match for a warship at sea.
The second is that there are too many navies. After defeating one wave, another wave will come. After defeating one wave, another wave will come.
As the number of navies defeated increases, the World Government and the Navy Headquarters will pay more attention, and the people they send out will be stronger and stronger.
Those pirate ships that dared to intercept in front of the warships were either so arrogant that they thought they could ignore the existence of the navy, or they wanted to fight the navy directly.
What's worse, some even wanted to rob warships.
Seeing the pirates so boldly sailing towards the warships, with shouts of killing deafening on the pirate ship, Luke was stunned. He had never encountered such a bizarre thing since he joined the navy.
It would be fine if these people were strong, but many of them are rookies who don't even know what combat is. The strongest man in the pirate group can't even beat an ordinary captain of the headquarters. I really don't know where they get the courage from.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, that these pirate groups are newly formed in the sea, they know nothing at all, and they dare to challenge anything just by relying on their own strength.
At the same time, it is also related to the warship that Lu Kai was on.
Because the warship that Lu Kai was on at the moment was the same standard warship that had previously escorted Roger to Rogue Town for execution.
If it was Lu Kai's own exclusive warship, except for a few reckless people, everyone else would have run as far away as possible.
The Navy Headquarters was originally overwhelmed by the coming of the Great Pirate Era. Seeing that pirates were becoming more and more rampant, the prestige of the Navy Headquarters did not decline so quickly because of Luke's actions.
However, as the words of Pirate King Roger before his demise continued to ferment, the number of pirates increased day by day, as if they could never be caught, and even increased in number.
The navy's control over the entire ocean is continuously declining, but Lu Kai's prestige is continuously increasing, and has reached an extremely exaggerated level.
Since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, Luke had been like a madman, leading his 'Iron Army' to crush pirates all over the world. Every day, news of his defeat of pirates would be reported back to the headquarters.
At first his deeds would be reported in newspapers, but later on people all over the world were numb to it.
In the end, the news of Luke's defeat of the pirates was only summarized in the newspapers once a month, and it was enough to make a statistics. This situation lasted for two whole years.
In the past year, some people even joked that this era is not the so-called Great Pirate Era, but the Lukai Era.
……
In the highest meeting room of Marinford.
"That brat hasn't come back yet?" Cyborg asked somewhat dissatisfiedly at a high-level meeting at the Marine Headquarters' Marinford base.
“This kid chased a pirate group to the North Sea and caused a huge commotion a while ago.
“I chased that pirate group all the way from the New World to the Grand Line, from the Grand Line to the South China Sea, from the South China Sea to the Grand Line, and finally to the North Sea.
"Lu Kai has been in Beihai for more than a month now. A few days ago, a soldier from the Communications Office asked him on behalf of the headquarters when he would be back, and he was in a bad mood." Lieutenant General He reported on the side.
"What a willful fellow." Cyborg said with an unhappy look on his face, "But since he was able to escape from Lu Kai for so long, the one who escaped must not be a simple guy."
"He's not really an expert, his strength is just so-so." Crane explained, "But the captain of this pirate group is a person who has eaten the Leaping Fruit, and can take the entire pirate ship to perform space jumps.
"Before, this pirate group was plundering everywhere in the Grand Line. After obtaining the intelligence, Garp tried to wipe them out several times. However, every time he arrived at the place mentioned in the intelligence, he didn't even see a shadow of the enemy!" Vice Commander Tsuru continued to report.
"Hahaha, it turns out that Lieutenant General Lu Kai also gets humiliated sometimes. This is the first time since I met him. No wonder he is so angry!" During the meeting, a lieutenant general suddenly laughed uncontrollably, "Why do I feel like laughing so much when I hear this?"
"But don't mention it. Every time there was news of Luke's voyage in the past two years, the pirates seemed to disappear wherever he passed." Another person joked, "Lieutenant General Luke is the nightmare of pirates all over the world!"
"In recent years, few pirates who have been targeted by Vice Admiral Luke have been able to escape unscathed. They will be skinned alive if not killed. Therefore, I would like to call this pirate Luke's nemesis."
A few people started joking with each other as if they were alone, and many people couldn't help laughing when they heard their jokes.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense here. Tell Lu Kai to stop the pursuit and return home immediately. There are more important things for him to do. He's running around here all day and he's not in a good shape." Ganggu said with finality.
"Yes!" After everyone agreed, they left.
And an order also reached Lu Kai who was in Beihai.
"Give the order, everyone return home." Lu Kai ordered his adjutant Clyde.
