Chapter 435 The whole world exploded
In fact, Lu Kai does not need to overturn all the evidence. As long as a few of them are proven to be false, at that time, the others will naturally be considered false as well.
Up to now, everything has been going according to Fu Ya's script, and all they need to do now is watch the show and wait for things to develop.
The next day, a piece of news in the newspaper shocked the whole world, because someone in the Navy Headquarters revealed that the former Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Lu Kai, was a spy planted in the Navy Headquarters by Divine Punishment. After being discovered, Lu Kai had defected from the Navy and slaughtered the Navy soldiers who went to arrest him. His whereabouts are now unknown.
This piece of news caused a huge earthquake around the world. You know, for so many years, Lu Kai has been a hero and idol in the hearts of countless people, but who would have thought that General Lu Kai would actually be a spy of God's punishment.
However, unlike the official community, the common people in many places did not feel disappointed after hearing that Lu Kai was punished by God. Instead, they felt that it was reasonable.
Over the years, as the crimes of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons were constantly exposed, the public became more and more disgusted with them, and even the Marine Headquarters was no longer trusted.
However, the reputation of God's Punishment is getting better and better all over the world. Countless people have received their favors, but God's Punishment never asks for anything in return and protects the people wholeheartedly. Therefore, God's Punishment is the patron saint in the minds of many people.
Lu Kai has actually been doing the same thing as Divine Punishment since his debut. Although his identities seem different, he spares no effort to protect every ordinary citizen who needs protection. Therefore, many people are unexpectedly happy that General Lu Kai is Divine Punishment.
And they believed that based on General Lu Kai's previous style of doing things, he would continue to protect the people no matter where he went.
Many people are even speculating which member of the Divine Punishment Group is most likely to be Lu Kai.
Of course, the leader of Divine Punishment, the 'Demon', is excluded, because although the devil fruit ability of the leader of Divine Punishment, the 'Demon', is mysterious, it is definitely not a space fruit.
People mainly guessed those members of the Divine Punishment who had never demonstrated their devil fruit abilities.
Even the White Rabbit is within the scope of speculation, because the White Rabbit's Jumping Fruit and the Space Fruit are very similar in some aspects.
Many people even felt excited when they thought that the person who saved them might be General Lu Kai.
The situation in the Marine Headquarters is not as calm as it seems. Many people are strongly dissatisfied with the World Government's public disclosure of Luke's defection, and believe that the World Government is destroying its own strength and abandoning the donkey after it has served its purpose.
A very important reason is that Lu Kai’s several crimes are full of doubts. Until now, no one has seen any evidence or met a witness. However, the world government handled it so decisively, leaving no way out, as if it could not wait.
Some people have dug up the doubts in the Sabin case, and more and more people believe that Lu Kai's defection was a conspiracy and that Lu Kai's crime was totally unfounded.
There are even people who worship Lu Kai extremely and believe that even if General Lu Kai is punished by God, it is not a crime. God's punishment has had a very good reputation over the years and is dedicated to eradicating evil. General Lu Kai is also such a person. They are the representatives of justice.
As for the other crimes, even if Admiral Luke did them, there must be a just reason. The World Government is the one that is sinful and evil.
No one says this, but some people think it.
The morale of the Navy Headquarters was in turmoil, and the Five Elders were not much better; they were almost going crazy because things were developing in a completely different way than they had imagined.
All they want to know now is who leaked the information to the outside world. Once they find out who this person is, they will kill all nine generations of his clan.
They want to eliminate all threats, but that doesn't mean they are willing to confront all threats head-on.
Lu Kai is so powerful and capable that if he really becomes their enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Sandra alone is enough to make the entire Marijoa restless. Once Luke becomes an enemy, the threat he poses to Marijoa will inevitably be far greater than Sandra, even with the presence of Seraph.
But the whole world knew about this, and the Five Elder Stars had to express their stance, so in the end they could only pray that Lu Kai would not become their enemy, while issuing a bounty order for Lu Kai and giving an explanation to the whole world.
The bounty on Luke is as high as 62 billion berries, which is higher than that of the Pirate King Roger. This is enough to show how much the World Government values Luke.
The Five Elders naturally knew how much negative impact this action would have, but they had no choice but to play dumb? Then they would become mere decorations.
To clear Lu Kai's name? Then what was the purpose of all this? As the saying goes, a broken mirror cannot be mended. Is Lu Kai still willing to return to the Navy Headquarters? Even if he returns, will he still be loyal?
The Five Elders also heard about the public opinion on the bounty on Luke and the unrest among the people in the Navy Headquarters. At this moment, they felt extremely regretful, and when they went to meet Im, they were severely scolded by Im.
If the Five Elders knew that this would be the final result, even if they wanted to take action against Lu Kai, they would have chosen a safer method and would never have been so impulsive.
In fact, the fact that things have developed to this point is directly related to the fact that the influence and prestige of the world government have declined significantly.
If it were in the past, even if Lu Kai was wrongly accused, there would be limited people who would be so dissatisfied with the World Government.
However, over the years, thanks to the truthful reporting of the crimes of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons by Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency nicknamed "Big News", more and more people are dissatisfied with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, and this dissatisfaction is subtle.
It has to be said that the power of public opinion is too great. Whoever controls the hegemony of public opinion can control people's hearts.
Many people who were originally loyal to the world government were unconvinced and even angry when they first saw these reports.
However, as more and more similar reports appear, if the World Government and the Celestial Dragons do something unsatisfactory at this time, even if these things are related to people who were originally loyal, the reports they have read in the past will turn into drizzle and soak into their hearts, making them angry at the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
In this way, the shortcomings of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons will unconsciously be infinitely magnified in the eyes of many people, just as the crimes of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons were infinitely minimized and considered reasonable by them.
Sakaski is one of them.
After returning to Judicial Island, Sakaski was restless. He felt angry and sad at the same time because he knew more than others.
After Lu Kai took Fu Ya and Xiao Long away, Sakaski also planned to leave immediately, but before leaving, he discovered that one of the navy soldiers killed by Lu Kai still had a faint breath.
Sakaski immediately brought the man back to the ship and had the ship's doctor treat him.
After waking up, the navy soldier was trembling all over and unable to control his fear. Finally, under Sakaski's questioning, the man told what happened.
