Chapter 385: Shocked
After hearing Lu Kai's personal admission, even the fellow disciples who had already guessed the truth were still dumbfounded. At the same time, a chill rushed from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, making them shiver all over.
Even though the facts were right in front of them and even though Lu Kai admitted it himself, the four people still found it hard to believe. It was all like a dream.
"Don't believe it?" Lu Kai took off his mask and said with a smile, "I was the one who personally recruited you into the Divine Punishment!
"If I didn't know you well enough and my words hit you hard, you wouldn't agree, right? Do you want me to repeat what I said to recruit you? Or should I let the clown contact you directly?"
"Master, please stop talking..." Su Luo was about to cry at this moment.
Cherno was not much better, and said in frustration: "Master... you... kept it a secret from us..."
"So Master, you told me last time..." Caesar suddenly understood the meaning of many of the things Luke said to him last time in the Sea Forest.
"No... Master..." Sabin's focus was different from others, and he asked, "What kind of fruit ability are you?"
"I am an unprecedented dual devil fruit user." As Lu Kai spoke, darkness surged from his left hand and the power of space surged from his right hand.
Then the power of darkness and space merged in front of the eyes of several people, forming the power of dark space, and casually drew a dark space door. With a wave of Lu Kai's hand, the dark space door disappeared again.
Several people were completely speechless.
Lu Kai considerately took out a table and five stools from the independent space. After placing the food on the table, Lu Kai asked his disciples to sit down.
"Just ask any questions you have. I will be honest with you today." Lu Kai took an apple, took a bite, and said with a smile.
"Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?" Sabin looked around with wise eyes, and then said to Su Luo, "Brother, we won't be trapped in a dream like you, right? How about you slap me a few times?"
Su Luo ignored Sabin, but said with some resentment: "Master... why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"If I had told you this earlier, would you have understood my intention?" Lu Kai asked back.
Sabin immediately shook his head. In fact, he still couldn't understand Lu Kai's intention. He only knew that he did whatever Lu Kai asked him to do, and Lu Kai simply ignored him.
"Master, you are such a good actor. You deceived the whole world with just one trick." Cherno said.
"And God's Punishment was founded seven years ago, and you were only 16 years old at that time." Su Luo was also surprised, "I'm afraid your purpose in founding God's Punishment is not simply to help others, right?"
"He is the boss after all, so his reaction is quick." Lu Kai said, "As for the purpose, you should be able to guess it, right?"
"Divine punishment...Iron Army..." Su Luo felt terrified when he thought about it, and looked at Lu Kai with horror.
Cherno's expression wasn't much better than Su Luo's.
"Don't think so highly of me." Lu Kai shook his head. "There is someone else behind this."
"It's the Great Master..." Cherno blurted out, "She is the White Fox, the Chief of Staff of the Divine Punishment!"
No one in the entire Iron Army was dissatisfied with Fu Ya's wisdom.
As early as G1, Fu Ya was already the actual person in charge of G1. Over the years, all the affairs of the Iron Army have been managed by Fu Ya.
The combat deployment of the Iron Army has always been arranged by Fu Ya. She has also trained a large number of military advisors for the Iron Army. If Lu Kai is the heart of the Iron Army, then Fu Ya is the brain of the Iron Army.
The same is true for Divine Punishment. Lu Kai has always been the one making the decisions, but the one who gives the advice behind the scenes is always White Fox. His wisdom amazes all the Divine Punishment members.
Since Lu Kai is the leader ghost of Divine Punishment, it goes without saying who the first think tank of Divine Punishment is.
"Smart!" Lu Kai exclaimed, "The reason why he hid it from the whole world was because he had no choice."
Lu Kai paused and continued, "Actually, what I do is very simple. I want to change everything, but I don't want the world to be in turmoil."
"So I founded Divine Punishment and brought together many powerful people in the world, such as Whitebeard, Shanks, Mihawk, Katakuri, the Revolutionary Army, etc."
Every word Lu Kai said was like a heavy hammer, hitting several people's minds.
Just now Cherno was complaining that Lu Kai could obviously do more. He never dreamed that what Lu Kai had done secretly was far beyond their imagination.
After a long time, several people came to their senses and looked at Lu Kai with extremely strange eyes.
The four brothers suddenly realized that although they had followed Lu Kai for so many years, they had never truly understood their master.
Seeing that they had come to their senses, Lu Kai continued, "As the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, I am doing this openly, and secretly helping the Divine Punishment to grow and develop, and making friends with other powerful people is helping.
"One bright, one dark, and one helping, it brought me closer and closer to my goal, allowing me to overthrow the Celestial Dragons smoothly."
Lu Kai's tone was very calm, but several people already felt their scalps tingling. Is this the true face of the master?
While they were excited, they felt an indescribable discomfort in their hearts. This discomfort came from Lu Kai's concealment of the truth from them.
There is no doubt that the four brothers admire and are loyal to Lu Kai, so they are willing to give everything for Lu Kai, but Lu Kai has been hiding the truth from them, which makes them feel very hurt.
"Do you believe in the Master?" Lu Kai asked, sensing the change in the mentality of several people.
Several people looked at each other and nodded vigorously.
"You are my apprentices, and I am your master." Lu Kai said softly, "This will never change, and we have the same goal, the same belief, and the same justice. As for my identity, is it important?"
Several people were immediately enlightened, their eyes immediately became clear, yes, is it important? Not important at all, okay?
"Of course, I also know why you feel uncomfortable. You think that I don't trust you brothers enough, but how old were you when you followed me?" Lu Kai continued with a smile.
"The oldest and second oldest followed me when they were 12 years old, the third oldest was 14 years old, and little Caesar was only 11 years old when he followed me.
“If I had told you my plan five or six years ago, do you think it would have been a good thing or a bad thing for you?
"If a mentally immature child of 11 or 12 knew my plan, it would not only be a bad thing, but it would become a heavy stone weighing on your heart, restricting your growth and even changing your character.
"And everything I did was in line with the justice in my heart, and it was also in line with the justice in your hearts. I didn't tell you before just because you were not mature enough, that's all.
"I'm telling you today because you're mature enough, and Master needs your strength. When the time comes, we can work together as a team, and there's no need to worry about not accomplishing great things."
