Chapter 314: The Highest Mission, Mezro Island
"Forever?" Lu Kai asked with some confusion.
"Yes, what if the power held by the World Government has a long-term and stable advantage over pirates, and we no longer have to worry about any pirates?" Sengoku said excitedly.
Seeing Zhan Guo’s excitement, Lu Kai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
If the World Government really were to gain control of a power that no one could resist, the result would be that all races in the world would be enslaved by the Celestial Dragons forever, and there would no longer be any hope.
Lu Kai's fingers were white from pinching, but he pretended to be excited and said, "Wouldn't that mean the Great Pirate Era will end completely?"
"Yes, this is the second reason why I came back to you!" Zhan Guo said seriously, "Do you still remember Vegapunk?"
Hearing this, Lu Kai suddenly laughed and said, "What happened to that big-headed guy I arrested personally?"
“The World Government has secretly formed a special science class for the Navy, led by Dr. Vegapunk, the world’s number one scientist and inventor.
"Now Dr. Vegapunk is secretly developing powerful weapons, and the Five Elders hope that you can serve as the commander of the Navy's scientific forces."
"Marshal Zhan Guo, please wait a moment. This is too much information. Let me sort it out!" Lu Kai couldn't help but take a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
This good thing actually fell directly on Lu Kai's head, making Lu Kai uncontrollably excited.
"So, Vegapunk has already started research?" Lu Kai asked.
"Yes, so, what is your answer to the matter of becoming the commander-in-chief of the Navy's scientific forces?" Zhan Guo looked at Lu Kai with hope and asked.
"Of course I agreed." Lu Kai said with a smile, "If I can really end this terrible world, that would be what I have always dreamed of."
"I knew that when faced with major issues, you, Lu Kai, would be the one who would never back down." Zhan Guo said with great approval.
Lu Kai glared at Zhan Guo in annoyance and said, "You only know how to flatter me. Didn't you tell me not to cause trouble for the Four Emperors? What else can I do? I have nothing to do anyway."
Having said that, Lu Kai was very happy in his heart. It was really a case of looking for something without much effort, but finally getting it.
As long as you become the commander of the naval scientific forces, there will be a lot of room for maneuver.
"Do you think you are on vacation? Isn't the matter of the Divine Punishment Organization a big deal?" Zhan Guo also retorted to Lu Kai.
"Yes, yes, this is a big deal, but don't worry about me. I have already made some progress." Lu Kai said with a smile.
"But it's just a clue. Once I get the result, I will report to you as soon as possible!"
"I knew you were right to let your kid go." Zhan Guo's mood suddenly improved a lot.
"By the way, the first two things have been discussed. In fact, there is a third thing that made me call you back so urgently this time!" Zhan Guo's face suddenly turned a little ugly, and he said to Lu Kai.
"What makes you so upset?" Lu Kai asked quickly.
"You won't be in a good mood if you know this, but no matter whether you feel good or not, you have to agree to this matter." Zhan Guo said solemnly.
"Marshal Zhan Guo, please speak first!" Hearing Zhan Guo being so serious, he didn't dare to agree easily.
"The Celestial Dragon Saint Chamakh hopes that you can help him find a runaway slave." After saying this, Zhan Guo felt depressed. What was going on?
"What?" Lu Kai looked at Zhan Guo in disbelief, as if he had misheard. "Did this slave beat him?"
"no!"
"Does this slave threaten his life?" Lu Kai asked again.
"no!"
"Then what reason do I have to go out?" Lu Kai was so angry that he laughed. "I lost a slave and I need the help of the admiral to find him. Does this guy named Charmark have nothing better to do?"
"Ahem..." Zhan Guo choked on the water he had just drunk when he heard Lu Kai's words, "Lu Kai, watch what you say."
"What I mean is, Marshal Zhan Guo, if I have to go out every time the Tianlong people throw a slave, will this ever end?" Lu Kai spread his hands and said, "They have so many slaves, who knows when a few more will run away. Do I have to go every time?"
"I don't know what's going on this time." Zhan Guo said helplessly, "There has never been such a ridiculous thing before, but this time it seems to be a special case, and it was specially ordered by the Five Elders."
"This matter has even involved the Five Elders?" Lu Kai asked in surprise, "What kind of slave is this? How could he be so influential?"
"I don't know the details, but the Five Elders told me to notify them once you come back!" After saying that, Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi beside him and dialed the number of the Hall of Power in Pangu City of Marijoa.
"This is the Five Elders." A voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I am Marshal Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters, and Lu Kai is with me now." Sengoku reported.
"Give the Den Den Mushi to Lu Kai, we need to talk to him directly." The voice of one of the Five Elder Stars sounded.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo immediately handed the Den Den Mushi to Lu Kai who was standing beside him. After Lu Kai took it, he stood up straight and said solemnly: "I am Lu Kai."
"Lu Kai, I think you must have some misunderstandings about this mission. After all, as the highest combat force of the Marine Headquarters and the highest combat force of the World Government, you should not be allowed to be used for such trivial matters."
One of the Five Elders on the other end of the phone said, "But this time is different. It's a special situation. We can't tell you directly. You just need to follow orders."
"Yes!" The Five Elders came personally to give the order, and Lu Kai had no excuse to refuse.
But Lu Kai still asked: "Is there anything I should pay attention to?"
The Five Elders on the other end of the phone were silent for a while, and then said, "Just do your best. When the mission is over, come to Marijoa. We want to see you."
"Got it. I'll leave right away." Lu Kai said seriously.
After hanging up the phone, Zhan Guo reminded Lu Kai, "Lu Kai, I know you have been influenced by Garp and sometimes you speak without thinking. Although you are much better now, you still need to be careful.
"Remember, it doesn't matter if you complain to me, but when you meet the Five Elders, you must pay attention to the way you speak and your attitude."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Lu Kai gave Zhan Guo a reassuring look.
Then he glanced at the piece of paper with the task content written on it in Zhan Guo's hand, saluted Zhan Guo, and then Lu Kai used teleportation to disappear on the spot.
Melos Island is an important trade transit point on the Grand Route.
Although the resources are not abundant, its geographical location is at the intersection of many important countries. Many ships passing by have to stop at Melos Island to replenish supplies or repair.
In addition, most sailors and pirates on the sea are generous people who spend money like water, so many small towns on the island of Melos are very rich.
But at this moment, Melos Island encountered an unprecedented crisis. A ship carrying the Celestial Dragons arrived at this place.
Accompanying them were a large number of World Government personnel and many members of CP0.
