Chapter 334: The Final Word, Tit for Tat
Lu Kai glanced at everyone and said, “I know everyone thinks this is impossible. If this matter was not said by Kuzan, but by someone else, the person who said it would be ridiculed by everyone and even regarded as a lunatic.
"Even when I first saw the report, I thought it was fake. But it was not only Kuzan who saw it with my own eyes, but also Sakaski. Given their personalities, how could they talk nonsense about such a thing?"
Lu Kai's words caused everyone to fall into silence.
Yes, it wasn’t just Kuzan who saw it. Sakaski was also there. They both saw it, so it couldn’t be fake.
"Lu Kai, what do you mean?" Zhan Guo asked Lu Kai.
"Marshal Sengoku, my meaning is very simple. Regardless of whether the other party used some kind of sleight of hand, or whether it was some kind of special devil fruit ability user who helped Sandra as everyone speculated, I hope that everyone will treat this matter as a fact first."
Lu Kai glanced at everyone and continued, "From Kuzan and Sakaski's description, I can assure you that they are 100% using the power of the Space Fruit.
"Because I am the user of the Space Fruit, no one knows the Space Fruit better than me.
"Kuzan and Sakaski both used the term 'suspected user of the Space Fruit ability' to describe Sandra. Even in their descriptions, the power of the Space Fruit she used was very different from the power I used.
“But I can tell everyone responsibly that when I first ate the space fruit, I used it exactly the same as Sandra.
"It was through years of continuous development that I was able to reach the point you all see today. The reason why Sandra is not as good as me is simply because he has not fully developed the ability of the Space Fruit.
“There is no need to doubt this, because my teacher Garp is not here, otherwise even he can prove it.
"Because I developed the ability of the Space Fruit little by little under his nose. He knows better than anyone what my Space Fruit was like at the beginning."
Lu Kai's words immediately resolved some of the doubts in many people's minds.
Seeing this, Lu Kai continued, "But before Sandra appeared, have you ever heard of two identical devil fruit abilities in this world? This is simply a fantasy.
"But this incident really happened. Since it is true that the other party can use the power of the Space Fruit, how can we judge that other things that happened to him must be false?"
Everyone started to think along the lines of what Lu Kai had said, and the more they thought about it, the more terrifying it was.
In fact, everyone present was not stupid, but they could not accept it for a while because the matter was too strange. Now that Lu Kai has revealed part of the truth, it will not be so difficult to accept the rest.
"Everyone should know that I am the commander of the Navy's scientific forces, right?" At this time, Lu Kai said something off topic.
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Lu Kai continued, "I went to meet with the Navy's top scientist, Vegapunk, and had a chat with him.
“Vegapunk is a mad scientist who becomes extremely talkative when talking about research.
"He told me some of his conjectures about devil fruits, and some very strange mysterious powers that once appeared in this world."
“At the time, I just took some of the information that Vegapunk said as a joke, and even thought he was a lunatic.
“But now, considering what he said to me at the beginning, it is not impossible for such a strange situation to occur.
"And I believe Kuzan, he would never joke about such a thing. I want to emphasize this point." Lu Kai suddenly said very seriously.
"It's no longer a question of belief or disbelief, so I say that everyone should treat what Kuzan saw as the truth.
“Even if there is only a 1% possibility, we should treat it as a fact, and our strategies and tactics should be deployed based on it.
"After all, two Tianlong people have already fallen. This matter is of great importance and no one is allowed to take it lightly. Otherwise, if we make a misjudgment due to our negligence, it may be too late to take action."
Lu Kai's words seemed to be the final word.
It is indeed as Lu Kai said, whether it is true or false, it is no longer important, but no matter what, we must treat it as true.
"I agree with what General Lu Kai said!" Lieutenant General He was the first to express her attitude, because she thought so too. In fact, she would have mentioned this point even if Lu Kai hadn't mentioned it.
"I agree too!" Kuzan, who had been listening carefully to Lu Kai's analysis, also spoke at this time.
"I agree too!"
"I agree too!"
Everyone expressed their opinions.
"In this case, let's use this as a basis to discuss strategy and tactics!" Zhan Guo also spoke at this time.
With a direction, discussions will naturally be much easier.
Lu Kai also planned to set off immediately after the meeting and go to the Magnetic Drum Kingdom first to see if he could find any clues.
Then put aside all other tasks for the time being and focus on investigating Sandra.
Because Sandra is most likely related to the variables, he must not take this matter lightly.
As the meeting of the Navy Headquarters was about to come to an end, Suluo, who was stationed in the Bank restricted area where the World Government's Science Class was located, was confronting Borsalino, who was ordered to come here. The two seemed to be ready to fight if they disagreed.
Borsalino did not participate in the meeting of the Navy Headquarters, but was ordered to come to the Bank restricted area, and his mission was to cooperate with Vegapunk in weapons research.
To put it bluntly, I'm here to donate blood.
At this time, Vegapunk had already proposed to the Five Elders many years in advance that he hoped to use laser beams in weapons, but this research was difficult to achieve, so Vegapunk planned to start with the bloodline factor.
The best source of blood is Borsalino, the user of the Flash Fruit who can fire laser beams at any time.
Borsalino was so angry that he was about to explode.
You know, when the commander of the naval science force was initially selected, Borsalino was the first to be nominated, but who would have thought that Sengoku and the Five Elders would change their minds in the end and turn around and give the task to Luke.
Originally, Borsalino disliked Luke very much.
Since the first day Lu Kai entered the Marine Headquarters, the two had not spoken a single word to each other except for a few words at the Marine Headquarters competition.
Now that the position he had obtained was snatched away by Luke, Borsalino had to suppress his anger and serve as a research subject.
What can a gentleman endure and what cannot be endured?
So after meeting Su Luo, Borsalino naturally did not have a good face, and started to act sarcastic as soon as they met.
"Borsalino, you'd better speak clearly, otherwise I will never forgive you." Su Luo held a long stick, stared at Borsalino coldly and said harshly.
"How scary! The young are indeed to be feared." Borsalino said in a sarcastic voice, but he did not show any fear at all. Instead, he said again, "But what if we explain it clearly?
"Anyone who commits a crime must be punished, let alone such a serious crime.
"Perhaps your master Luke will have to spend the rest of his life in Impel Prison with the many criminals he arrested!"
