Chapter 373 Escort Mission, Peach Rabbit Gion
Of course, a mere temporary decline in prestige cannot cause a fundamental impact on the world government.
However, if the prestige of the World Government continues to decline, while the prestige of himself and Divine Punishment continues to rise, the situation will become different.
However, since the task fell on Lu Kai, he would not shirk it. Soon, Lu Kai rushed to the G1 base.
After the Celestial Dragons come down from Marijoa, if they want to go to the Grand Line, they go directly to the Marine Headquarters, and if they want to go to the New World, they go down to G1 and start from here.
Although he was revisiting an old place, Lu Kai had no time to waste.
The Celestial Dragons who were about to set off and their accompanying attendants, guards, slaves, and personnel from the World Government were all waiting for Luke.
In order to prevent the whereabouts of the Tianlong people from being disclosed again, this Tianlong people did not take the specially provided treasure ship, which already made him very dissatisfied.
But now Lu Kai actually asked him to wait in person, so this Tianlong man showed great impatience, kept cursing, and took out his anger on the slaves from time to time.
G1 has dispatched one of the largest warships and a large number of soldiers, ready to travel at any time.
After Lu Kai appeared, the two Tianlong people looked at him with dissatisfaction, as if waiting for his explanation, but Lu Kai seemed to be unaware of it. He didn't even look at them and went straight onto the ship first.
Next to the warship, there is another small warship, which is Lu Kai’s exclusive Mini Iron Army.
However, the Mini Iron Army was not arranged by Lu Kai, but by Zhan Guo, in order to shut up the Celestial Dragons, so that they would not feel ignored and then lose their temper, disturbing everyone.
In addition to the 100 elite Iron Army soldiers that are regularly equipped on the Mini Iron Army, the one in charge is Caesar.
Caesar is now extremely powerful, and he is invincible on the sea, so it is very appropriate for him to escort us.
As for Fuya and Xiaolong, they went to the Bank restricted area before Luke went to visit Hawkeye. Fuya planned to continue studying with Vegapunk.
The warship then set sail and the group rushed to the island of Fudao in the New World.
The two places that the Celestial Dragons like to go to most are the Sabaody Archipelago and the Dodo Island, because these two places have a very popular industry, the slave trade.
Even because Dudao is located in the New World, there are more types of slaves, so when the Celestial Dragons want new slaves, many of them will go to Dudao to choose them in person.
Lu Kai was extremely disgusted with this kind of escort mission.
Therefore, Lu Kai always refused in the past, and the reason for his refusal was very simple. As long as nothing happened to the Celestial Dragons, he had no reason to go out.
But now a man named Sandra has appeared to hunt the Celestial Dragons. Four Celestial Dragons have died in one year, and Luke has no choice but to obey the arrangement.
Caesar also hated slavery. He hated it and wanted to abolish it.
But now he was asked to escort the Celestial Dragons to buy slaves. Even through a warship, Luke could feel Caesar's anger and unwillingness.
Also traveling with them was an acquaintance of Lu Kai, who is now a major general of the Navy Headquarters and was sent to Gion to guard G1.
Gion later had a famous nickname, Peach Rabbit.
As soon as he entered the navy, Gion showed great talent and fighting ability, and was subsequently promoted continuously during years of battles.
Gion, 28 years old this year, became a rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters two years ago and is expected to be promoted to lieutenant general in another two years.
However, Lu Kai did not have any good feelings towards Gion, because Gion was a staunch supporter of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.
She believed in justice that only when the world government was stable could the world be stable. Originally, this was nothing, but Gion had publicly opposed Luke's justice on many occasions.
In the Navy Headquarters, the struggle for justice has never ceased. There are still many people in the Navy who have different ideas from Lu Kai, and some of them have considerable influence.
For example, Zhan Guo and Borsalino both have their own direct lineages. After all, the people trained by Luke have not yet infiltrated into all levels of the navy.
It is normal for everyone to have their own opinions, but it is not common to criticize the other party's insistence on justice in public.
What's more, Gion is just a major general, while Luke is a very prestigious admiral in the headquarters of the navy. This also led to many people not liking Gion, but Gion still went his own way.
She was transferred from the Marine Headquarters to G1 by Sengoku because she was being ostracized at the headquarters.
But in G1, life in Gion was even more difficult than in the Marine Headquarters.
G1 is where Lu Kai made his fortune. More than half of the officers and soldiers are Lu Kai's former subordinates. How could these people allow anyone to say bad things about Lu Kai?
So even though Gion was very strong, reaching the level of lieutenant general, and was also quite pretty, she was very unpopular, and many of her subordinates did not buy into her.
In this regard, Gion blamed all the faults on Lu Kai. As soon as she saw Lu Kai, she was furious. She didn't even need to use her Observation Haki to sense that emotion.
Naturally, Lu Kai had no good feelings towards Gion.
However, as soon as Lu Kai boarded the ship, he still kept Gion by his side on the grounds that she was strong, and asked her to stand guard at the bow with him, without paying any attention to the latter's emotions.
But Gion had to obey because it was the order of the admiral of the navy headquarters, and as a major general she had no right to object.
Just as Lu Kai and Gion were on guard at the bow, the escorting Celestial Dragons walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.
"Hey, Lu Kai, come here!" The male Tianlong saw Lu Kai on the bow and immediately shouted in dissatisfaction, "What do you mean?"
Lu Kai walked up to him and pretended to be stupid and said, "Qian Landesheng, what do you mean?"
"You made me wait for you in G1 for a full ten minutes." Qian Landesheng said unhappily, "And when you got there you ignored me. You're so brave."
"Saint Qianlande, you misunderstood." Lu Kai explained calmly, "I was ordered to go to the Grand Line to investigate Sandra, so I was quite far away.
"But I still returned as quickly as I could after receiving the order. As for ignoring you, that's even more ridiculous. Wouldn't I have come over if you called me?"
"You bastard..." Qian Landesheng was immediately furious and said, "Go, move my lounge chair out. I want to bask in the sun."
Lu Kai immediately turned his head to look at Gion and ordered: "You go and move it!"
"I asked you to go!" Qian Lande Sheng said angrily immediately.
Lu Kai showed no sign of anger when he heard this. He went straight into the cabin and quickly brought out a lounge chair and placed it on the deck.
"Where's the parasol?" Qian Landesheng asked angrily again, "It's so sunny, do you want to burn me to death?"
Lu Kai smiled slightly, still not angry, and walked into the cabin again, took out the parasol, and then opened it next to the lounge chair.
