Chapter 337 Lu Kai No. 2, Different Pattern
What's more, Su Luo has the reputation of "the second Lu Kai". With a little publicity, Su Luo can accumulate popularity and prestige in a very short time.
Moreover, Lu Kai planned to bring up this matter when he returned, and then allow Su Luo to have the right to go to sea freely, let him leave the Iron Army and start to complete tasks independently, and let him accumulate merit and prestige as much as possible.
"How did it feel to fight Borsalino?" Lu Kai changed the subject and asked Su Luo again.
"That's all!" Su Luo said nonchalantly, "He just took advantage of being a little older than me and having practiced for more than ten years.
"But I think his potential is almost exhausted. If you give me two years, I will definitely be able to defeat him. If you give me five years, I can crush him with one hand. In the end, I am still too weak now."
"Haha, very good!" Instead of scolding Su Luo for his arrogance, Lu Kai laughed and said, "My disciple Lu Kai should have this kind of domineering attitude.
"You still have three years left to serve as Borsalino's admiral. So, you should work hard during these three years. You will be one of the three admirals of the navy in the future."
"Yes, I will ensure that the mission is completed." Su Luo immediately saluted Lu Kai and said loudly.
Then the master and disciple looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
On the other hand, after Borsalino left the uninhabited island, his anger grew stronger.
The two slaps Lu Kai gave him wiped out all his rationality.
He now only wanted to cause trouble for Lu Kai. Since he couldn't beat him, he would find ways to attack from other aspects. In short, he would never let Lu Kai have an easy time.
So as soon as he returned to Marinford, Borsalino immediately found Zhan Guo, and then loudly criticized Su Luo in front of Zhan Guo.
According to his description, he got so angry when he heard Suluo and other Iron Army soldiers constantly complaining about the World Government and the Marine Headquarters that he scolded Suluo, which led to the conflict between them. It was not like what Suluo reported, that he took the initiative to cause trouble.
Everything turned out just as Lu Kai and Su Luo had expected. Borsalino's seemingly brainless actions actually had ulterior motives.
Borsalino did not mention the two slaps he received from Luquet. If this embarrassing incident were to become known, he would probably have a hard time gaining a foothold in the navy, and the generals who followed him would inevitably become shaken.
Zhan Guo originally wanted to comfort Borsalino, but after hearing what he said, he was only deeply disappointed in him.
If the Five Elders hadn't called Zhan Guo to explain the situation, Zhan Guo might have doubted the truth of the matter. But the Five Elders said that they monitored the conversation at the time, so how could it be false?
During the more than one month that Su Luo and Tie Jun have been in the Bank restricted area, apart from expressing their concern for Lu Kai, they have never said anything that should not be said. Instead, they all firmly believe that the World Government and the Navy Headquarters will definitely clear Lu Kai's name.
Therefore, Borsalino's move was already a frame-up of Luke. He wanted to destroy Luke's prestige from the side, and taking the initiative to provoke trouble was a conspiracy he carried out against Luke.
"Marshal Zhan Guo, my report is finished!" Borsalino said loudly with a rare righteous look on his face.
Zhan Guo had a gloomy face, he lowered his head and said nothing, but his mood was extremely bad, and he kept thinking in his mind.
Can someone like Borsalino, even if he is very capable, really be qualified for the position of admiral of the Navy Headquarters?
Ever since Luke entered the Navy Headquarters, Borsalino has always disliked Luke and has been making sarcastic remarks about Luke behind his back. This has become an open secret.
On the contrary, Lu Kai never said a bad word about Borsalino in front of anyone. Even though he knew that Borsalino said a lot of unpleasant things to him behind his back, Lu Kai never cared.
Now Lucei is the admiral of the Navy Headquarters and Borsalino is the lieutenant general, yet Borsalino still used such dishonorable means to frame Lucei.
If Borsalino becomes the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, the conflict between the two will probably break out immediately, and who knows what will happen.
On one side is Lu Kai, who is upright, firm in his stance, highly respected, extremely just, and extremely powerful.
On one side is Borsalino, who is insidious, treacherous, has a vacillating stance, average prestige, likes to show off, and is far inferior to Luca in strength.
Is it even necessary to think about how to choose?
After a long time, Zhan Guo raised his head, stared at Borsalino coldly, and said, "I know, you can get out!"
At this moment, Borsalino did not realize that his conspiracy had been seen through. Instead, he thought that Zhan Guo had such an expression because he was disappointed with Lu Kai, so he could not suppress his joy in his heart and went out happily.
How could Zhan Guo not know Borsalino's intentions and what his expression meant at the moment? He felt a sense of disgust for no reason.
Perhaps it was influenced by Garp, perhaps it was influenced by Cyborg, or perhaps it was because of Luke himself, but Sengoku unknowingly treated Luke as his own grandson.
The only difference is that Zhan Guo is very rational. He seldom expresses his admiration for Lu Kai as directly as Cyborg does, and he seldom scolds Lu Kai, but the admiration deep in his bones is real.
When Lu Kai was arrested this time, Zhan Guo already felt guilty towards Lu Kai.
But at this time, Borsalino tried to use this method to destroy Luke, trying to plant a seed of suspicion towards Luke in everyone's heart. How could this be tolerated?
Lu Kai took Su Luo back to the Bank restricted area and took a walk around it. After discussing Sandra's situation with Vegapunk, Lu Kai returned to the Navy Headquarters and also found Sengoku as soon as possible.
"Marshal Zhan Guo, I am here to apologize to you." Lu Kai said the first sentence a little embarrassedly.
"Admit your mistake? Admit what mistake?" Zhan Guo asked with some confusion.
"This conflict could have been avoided. My subordinates were not restrained enough." Luke explained, "My disciple even accepted Borsalino's request for a duel without authorization.
"Although neither of them was injured in the duel, this trend cannot be allowed to continue. What will happen if it becomes a habit? What will happen to the Navy Headquarters?
"So although I have punished Su Luo and the rest of my subordinates by making them fast for seven days as a punishment, it has indeed brought unnecessary trouble, so we still have to admit our mistakes. Don't worry, I will definitely control my subordinates and will not let something like this happen again."
Zhan Guo felt indescribably moved when he heard this.
His expression immediately softened and he scolded with a smile, "You little bastard, are you acting like that with me?"
Having said that, Zhan Guo really wanted to let Borsalino see what a big picture was. To put it bluntly, even if Lu Kai was pretending, Zhan Guo would be happy.
After a while, Zhan Guo suddenly seemed to react, and then asked Lu Kai with a surprised expression: "You just said that Su Luo and Borsalino dueled, and neither of them was injured?"
"Um...yes, what's wrong?" Lu Kai asked with some confusion.
