Chapter 262: A helpless move, promoting a general

Luke also thought about leaving Nico Robin with Dimo ​​and Sina, but Dimo ​​and Sina knew too many secrets, and Nico Robin's fruit ability was too convenient, so she might find out something.

Although it is impossible for Nico Robin to inform the Navy or the World Government, it is not good to know too much.

As the leader of the first branch of Divine Punishment in the East China Sea, Muhammad is absolutely trustworthy. He also particularly likes children and runs an orphanage, so it is more appropriate to put him here.

"Little girl?" Mohammed came back to his senses and looked at Nicole Robin. After a while, Mohammed's face suddenly changed and he exclaimed, "Nicole Robin?"

"Yes, it's Nico Robin." Lu Kai replied.

Then Lu Kai squatted down and said to Nicole Robin solemnly: "Robin, listen carefully, this place is absolutely safe, and you can trust this uncle without reservation.

“Of course, you don’t have to believe it, and you can also sneak away, because no one here will restrict your freedom, and it’s easy for you to leave.

"But you are very smart. If you leave here and go outside, you know very well what you will face. So whether you can believe it or not, it is up to you to decide."

"My mother, how is my mother?" Nicole Robin suddenly grabbed Lu Kai's hand and asked anxiously.

"I'm sorry, your mother..." Lu Kai was about to say this, but seeing Robin's anxious eyes, he finally sighed in his heart, gritted his teeth, and changed his words, "Your mother is still alive, but she can't see you. She asked me to send you here."

In the end, Lu Kai went against Olivia's wishes and chose to tell the truth, because he really couldn't face Nicole Robin's clear eyes that were filled with urgency and strong hope.

Nicole Robin's eyes immediately brightened when she heard that, but she felt very sad in her heart because she didn't know why her mother couldn't come to see her. She even wondered if the man with the grimace in front of her was deliberately trying to cheer her up.

But she still chose to believe Lu Kai's words, and also chose to believe that her mother had her own reasons for not coming to see her.

Only belief means hope.

Although Lu Kai felt very upset, he comforted himself that after all, Nicole Robin still had family and was not completely helpless.

If Lukai had not intervened, Nico Robin would have had to embark on a completely helpless and desperate journey at the age of 8, carrying a huge bounty of 7900 million Baileys.

For an 8-year-old girl, that kind of life is not much better than hell. To her, the whole world will be an enemy with ulterior motives.

Then Lu Kai continued to say to Robin: "Once you choose to stay, from today on, you will need to live here wearing a mask.

"This uncle will announce to the public that your face is severely burned, and you are not allowed to show your fruit ability in front of anyone. As for the reason, you know it better than anyone else.

"If you want to train the power of the devil fruit, or want to become stronger through training, you can tell this uncle, and he will take you to a safe place to train you. I will come to see you every six months and bring you some O'Hara's books to read.

"This place will protect you until you are 18 years old. After that, you can choose to stay here or leave.

"This is all I can do. As for what kind of person you want to be and how you want to live in the future, this uncle and I will never interfere."

After doing all this, Lu Kai couldn't bear to look at Nico Robin anymore, and didn't stay for long. With a stroke of the void, Lu Kai waved casually at Mohammed and stepped into the door of the dark void, completely disappearing on the spot.

While Mohammed was cursing and expressing his dissatisfaction with Lu Kai, he was busy preparing a midnight snack for Nico Robin.

But after Nicole Robin ate the sumptuous dinner brought by Mohammed, she suddenly couldn't hold it anymore.

At this moment, all of Nicole Robin's pain, sadness, and grievances burst out completely, and she covered her face with the hand holding the small spoon and burst into tears.

On the other hand, Luke, as a 'ghost', has also met with Monkey D. Dragon of 'Baldigo', and the purpose of the meeting is naturally to make arrangements for the scholars of O'Hara.

When Lu Kai first appeared, Long was naturally extremely alert, and Lu Kai was almost besieged.

You have to know that 'Baldigo' is a secret base that no one in the revolutionary army knows about. Naturally, they have no good feelings towards Lukai, who suddenly broke in.

But after learning about Lu Kai's purpose, Long's face was full of shock.

Especially after meeting Dr. Kloba, Long no longer had any doubts in his heart. He suppressed his excitement and settled the surviving scholars of O'Hara.

When these scholars heard that all the books of the Tree of Omniscience had been preserved by Lu Kai, they all cried with excitement.

All the scholars regarded these precious treasures as more important than their own lives. Long also completely believed in Lu Kai and had a secret conversation with him.

During the one-hour secret talk, 'Divine Punishment' and 'Revolutionary Army' reached a secret strategic cooperation relationship, but both parties stated that this relationship must never be made public.

A month later, Luke arrived at the Navy Headquarters. He did not receive any other missions for the time being, but he could not return to G1. Instead, he was told to take a vacation in Marinford and not to leave for the time being.

In desperation, Lu Kai could only take down the two iron balls used for training on his warship, and then went to the logistics department of the Navy Headquarters, asking the logistics personnel to replace them with two larger ones for him, and also requested the construction of a batch of other training facilities.

Lu Kai led the "Iron Army" to train at the headquarters while waiting for new training tools.

The top brass at the naval base at the moment only included Cyborg, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and two deputy chiefs of staff of the naval headquarters.

"What? Decided to promote Luke to the admiral of the Marine Headquarters ahead of schedule?" Except for Sengoku, everyone was shocked after hearing Cyborg's words.

Although the general assessment mechanism for Lu Kai was launched four years ago, according to convention, the general assessment period is at least five years.

There have been cases in history where people were promoted to generals ahead of schedule, but those were all special historical periods.

"That's right, promote Luke to the rank of Admiral of the Marine Headquarters ahead of schedule." Steel Bone Sora said, "I know everyone will have doubts, but now that the Great Pirate Era has begun, it is a special historical period, and we can no longer stick to the old ways.

“We will first make a private decision on this matter, and report our decision and reasons to the Five Elders.

"Once the Five Elders have made their decision, we only need to hold an internal meeting to announce the matter to the world, and then we can hold the ceremony of conferring the title of general and handing over power."

"Lu Kai is only 20 years old. Although he already possesses overwhelming strength, and there are no problems with his background, ability, military merit, loyalty, etc., it is too shocking that he was promoted to the admiral of the Navy Headquarters at such a young age!" Vice Admiral Tsuru couldn't help but sigh.

"Age is not a problem!" Cyborg said, "Like Ahe said, Lu Kai is now undoubtedly the strongest fighter in the navy, so Lu Kai deserves the title of strength. His ability has been demonstrated many times during his four years in G1."
