Chapter 427 Attack in groups
The person who spoke was the newly promoted Vice Admiral Doberman of the Navy Headquarters.
Many people found it strange to hear what Doberman said, because since Luke came to the Navy Headquarters, he had never had any grudge against Dauberman, but Dauberman's voice seemed to be full of hostility towards Luke.
Lu Kai was stunned for a moment, then explained: "I just feel that there are still doubts about this matter, so I don't want to draw conclusions too early. As you all know, my second disciple has always had a bad brain, and it is possible that he has been plotted against."
"General Luke has gotten away with it." Dauberman continued to sneer, "The Five Elders have all made the judgment that Sabine is a member of the Divine Punishment. How dare you question it? What qualifications do you have to question it?
"Everyone has confirmed that Sabin is a man of divine punishment, but you insist on saying that he is not. Is it because you, General Luke, are very perceptive and superior? Or is it because you have a problem too, and have no scruples and are so blatantly covering up for him?"
Lu Kai frowned and said, "Doberman, you have to be responsible for what you say. What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? I suspect that you, General Luke, are a spy of God's Punishment. Is that not okay?" Doberman glanced at Luke, his tone still full of hostility.
Sengoku saw that the atmosphere was getting weird and said, "Doberman, don't say that. Luke is the current admiral of the Navy Headquarters. Any suspicion about him must be based on evidence. Otherwise, it can be considered a frame-up and you will be held responsible."
Dauberman smiled confidently and said, "My Lord Marshal, everyone, to be honest, I do have evidence."
After saying this, Dauberman took out a photo from his pocket and showed it to everyone.
Everyone was stunned after seeing the photo, because the photo showed the scene of Lu Kai meeting with a man wearing a Divine Punishment uniform. Although the photo was taken from a distance, it could still be seen clearly and there was no mistake.
Everyone turned their eyes to Lu Kai, who had an expression of disbelief.
Dauberman handed the photo to Zhan Guo's adjutant and said to Lu Kai, "General Lu Kai, the evidence is right in front of you. Are you still going to quibble?"
Lu Kai still looked like he hadn't recovered from the shock. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He said with an unpleasant expression, "Impossible. I have never seen this person before, and he has never appeared in such a place. This photo is fake."
It is true that many people questioned the authenticity of the photo, but the number of people who suspected Lu Kai also increased again.
In the world of pirates, photos cannot be faked under normal circumstances, and even if they are faked, they can be easily identified. After all, here is not like Luke's previous life where there is powerful PS, and changing the head or face is just a piece of cake.
Dauberman would produce the photo, which must mean that the photo had been authenticated.
But this does not mean that the photo is necessarily real, because there are many devil fruit abilities that can imitate others. As long as you find someone to imitate Luke and Divine Punishment, it is really possible to take such a photo.
"Hahaha!" Doberman suddenly laughed wildly and said, "You said it was fake that Sabine was a member of the Divine Punishment. Now you say it's fake again. Does that mean that no matter how sufficient the evidence is, as long as it's unfavorable to you, Luke, it's all fake?"
"If it's fake, it's fake. It's just a photo. It can be faked. It doesn't prove anything." Lu Kai seemed to have calmed down at this moment. He asked Berman tit for tat, "Now I suspect you. What is your intention in framing me like this? Who instructed you to do this?"
"Hahaha, you, Luke, like to use conspiracies and tricks, so you think everyone else is the same as you?" Dauberman laughed wildly and sarcastically, "As a navy officer, I, Dauberman, should uphold justice. After learning the truth, I naturally have the responsibility and obligation to expose your true face. I will never allow a scourge like you to stay in the navy. Do you still need others to order you around?"
Over the years, Lu Kai had never suffered such an injustice. At this moment, he was on the verge of exploding. He clenched his fists, stared at Doberman angrily, and the aura on his body rose steadily, as if he was furious to the extreme.
Doberman didn't care at all and said, "Why? General Luke saw his ugly face exposed, and he couldn't argue with me because he was in the wrong. Now he wants to attack me in front of so many people?"
"Lu Kai!" Zhan Guo, who was afraid of something happening, quickly reminded Lu Kai at this time.
Lu Kai's expression froze, and the aura on his body instantly dissipated. He turned his head to the side and gritted his teeth and said, "Time will prove that I am innocent!"
Everyone saw Lu Kai's frustration and anger, and many people even began to sympathize with Lu Kai and instead developed a strong disgust towards Doberman.
Regardless of whether what Dawberman said was true or not, he only needed to explain it rationally, but he kept being aggressive towards Lu Kai with an extremely mean face, and even made direct personal attacks, which made many people feel very uncomfortable.
Especially the new generation of naval officers, they all remember how Lu Kai was so powerful and vigorous back then that the enemy was wiped out with just a wave of his finger. That was how high-spirited he was.
Countless new generations of navy officers joined the navy because they admired Lu Kai. Over the years, how many officers in the headquarters have not been taken care of by Lu Kai? How many officers have not received Lu Kai's guidance?
Lu Kai is always invincible and cruel to his enemies, but he is always gentle and patient with them. He guides and encourages them whenever he has time. Even the hometowns of many people were saved by Lu Kai, which makes Lu Kai an idol in the hearts of countless people.
Many people were feeling extremely complicated at the moment. Even if Lu Kai was really related to God's punishment, they did not want to see Lu Kai being insulted like this.
Zhan Guo also said to Dauberman with some displeasure at this time: "Dauberman, a photo can't prove anything. We can't completely rule out the possibility of forgery."
Zhan Guo's words were very clear. He was reminding Dauberman to be careful with his attitude, but Dauberman's expression did not change at all. Instead, he continued, "Of course it's not just a photo."
After saying this, Doberman glanced at a vice admiral from the Navy Headquarters sitting opposite him. After receiving instructions, the vice admiral immediately opened the document that had been placed on the table from the beginning.
The lieutenant general's name was Axel, and he was a veteran lieutenant general who was already in his fifties. Lu Kai had always respected him, but at this moment he treated Lu Kai as an enemy, and looked at Lu Kai with a very unfriendly look.
After whetting everyone's appetite, Axel read from the document: "One of Lu Kai's former subordinates was dissatisfied with Lu Kai's actions and reported to us. This person claimed that Lu Kai embezzled a large amount of treasure from pirates and dark forces when he was carrying out missions in the past.
"We followed this clue and found the remnants of the pirate group that was once wiped out by Luke. Some of the reports have been confirmed, and the others are still under investigation. There will be results soon."
