Chapter 264: Double act, abdication plan
When he appeared again, Luke was on Garp's warship, and Garp had also returned here. As soon as they met, Luke snapped his fingers, and a space isolation barrier covered the room.
"You little brat, you're not going to die, are you?" Cap changed his attitude at this moment and asked Lu Kai with concern.
In that attack just now, Garp used all his strength. Although his fist was not covered with Armament Haki, Luke did not use any defensive measures.
And he was standing still, so the angle and strength of Garp's punch were perfect, and its power should not be underestimated.
"Teacher, you're too harsh." Lu Kai quickly found a place to sit down, rubbing his chest and complaining with a grimace.
"Stop pretending. Your injury is not serious and that blood is not yours, right? Your current breath doesn't sound like you are about to die from vomiting blood." Cap immediately exposed Luke's disguise.
But then Garp said with emotion: "But your current strength is really terrifying. Even if you completely give up defense, my punches now can't hurt you. I'm afraid there is no one in this ocean who can be your opponent."
"It's all thanks to the teacher's good teaching." Lu Kai flattered at the right time.
"Don't give me that!" Karp didn't buy it and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What is your purpose in asking me to cooperate with you in this act today?"
"I still remember that you have told me many times that a person's power is limited. Over the years, I have also deeply realized this. Even if I am invincible in the world, there are still limits to what I can do.
"So in order to carry out the justice in my heart and to make more people accept my justice, I plan to take a different path from my teacher." Lu Kai replied with a firm look.
"A different path? So you plan to accept the position of Navy Admiral." Garp said.
"No, I don't value the position of general. I need a higher position.
"If I want more navy officers to recognize my justice, the position of admiral alone is not enough. I want to become a navy marshal." Lu Kai pointed a finger upwards, expressing his ambition without any concealment.
"You want to become a marine admiral? Hahahaha!" Garp was startled by Lukai's words, and then laughed, "That's really a different path from mine."
"Teacher, you have been unwilling to accept the position of admiral in order to avoid being bound by constraints and to stay away from those scumbags of the Celestial Dragons.
"I understand this point very well. If I were in your shoes and only became a general in the future, I would refuse the promotion without hesitation and be willing to be a lieutenant general for life." Lu Kai continued to explain patiently.
"This duet between you and I today is for everyone to see, so that everyone knows that my justice is different from yours.
“Although I am your student, I have my own stand. In order to uphold my stand, I am willing to break with my most respected teacher.
"Although you don't like this position, the World Government and Marshal Sora like it very much. That's enough. This will increase my chances of becoming the Marshal of the Marine Headquarters in the future."
"Becoming a marshal..." Garp pondered for a while and said, "This is not an easy thing, and Sengoku is deeply trusted by the Five Elders. Even if they like you, you can only be the next marshal of Sengoku, which will take a long time."
"It's okay. I will find a way to make Marshal Kong retire early and let General Zhan Guo become the marshal in advance. In this way, the time it takes for me to become the navy marshal will be greatly shortened." Lu Kai grinned.
"Hmph, you really dare to think so!" Garp snorted coldly, "Marshal Kong has been very kind to you and me, and I don't want to see you use others as stepping stones for your own benefit, including Zhan Guo. If there really comes a day like that, I will be the first one to not let you go."
"Teacher, don't worry. I have been with you for so many years, don't you know me well?" Lu Kai explained with a smile, "Students know what I am doing well, and you are so old now, it's time for you to step down and take a rest.
"I heard that the Five Elders had long intended to make him the commander of the entire army, and to promote General Zhan Guo to the rank of marshal. But the navy was in a period of transition in the past few years, and the young generals were not yet able to take charge, so they kept delaying it.
"Now that excellent generals have appeared one after another, and Marshal Kong is too old and his ideas are considered no longer suitable for dealing with the unprecedented era of pirates, shouldn't he be promoted early and just hold a nominal position to retire?"
"Okay, as long as you have a plan!" Cap was no longer bothered by this question, but suddenly asked, "Have all the scholars at O'Hara been settled?"
"Yes, teacher. We are settled in temporarily and our injuries have healed." Lu Kai replied.
"That's good. I still say the same thing. As long as your justice is unshakable, I will support you no matter what you do." Cap assured Luke.
"Thank you, teacher. It is really the luck of my life to meet you." Lu Kai smiled at Garp, and then teleported away from Garp's warship.
In the next few days, the news that Luke and Garp had fallen out due to their different philosophies spread throughout the Navy Headquarters.
It is also well known that Garp beat Luke violently in a rage, and Luke did not dodge or fight back and was seriously injured by Garp.
After all, Garp's punch was so powerful that it pierced through more than a dozen rooms in the fortress. It would be hard for it not to be known.
But a few days later, someone saw Cap going to visit the injured Luke, and the master and apprentice seemed to have reconciled. This scene was confusing, but everyone was happy to see it.
After all, both Garp and Lucey are role models in the eyes of countless navy men. If Lucey and Garp continue to quarrel, I believe many people will be sad.
Naturally, Cyborg and Warring States did not want to see the master and apprentice continue to quarrel, so they continued to mediate and minimize the impact of the incident.
During this period, countless officers and soldiers went to visit Lu Kai, and almost all the officers and soldiers in the headquarters had been there.
However, if we talk about which female officers are the most active in running, this is a rare opportunity to get closer to Lu Kai, how can we miss it?
Since Lu Kai joined the navy, he has always been the perfect man in the eyes of many female soldiers.
Moreover, as time went by, as Lu Kai's position became higher and higher, his strength became stronger and his influence became greater, more and more female soldiers fantasized about Lu Kai as their ideal partner.
Over the years, the topic that the female soldiers in the entire Navy Headquarters talked about the most and most tirelessly was Lu Kai.
This gave Lu Kai a headache, and after three days he simply closed the door to visitors and started training again.
A few days later, Garp's letter of recommendation for Luke was unexpectedly delivered to Marshal Cyborg Sora.
Even without Garp's recommendation, Luke was still a sure win, but with the support of his teacher Garp, this matter became even more perfect.
However, in the recommendation letter, Cap said that Luke told him that he wanted to concentrate more energy to conquer all factors that cause instability in the world.
Especially in the face of the turmoil caused by the arrival of the Great Pirate Era, the navy should no longer weigh and compromise in pursuit of short-term stability, but should look at the problem from a longer-term perspective and continuously accumulate strength for the navy.
When the time is ripe, we will cut the Gordian knot and, at the cost of short-term turmoil, bring about a more lasting and stable peace in the future.
So Cap thinks that Lukai's justice is a bit extreme and hopes that Cyborg will consider it carefully.
