Chapter 439 Completely out of control
This incident once again caused a huge earthquake, but this time the Five Elders immediately blocked the news and were too embarrassed to make the matter public because they really couldn't afford to lose face.
The departure of Lu Kai could be explained without causing chaos, but if Su Luo also left, what would people around the world think?
Is it that the Marine Headquarters is completely rotten, and the top brass has been infiltrated by divine punishment and turned into a sieve? Or is it that Luke and his family are all being persecuted? No matter what others think, it is extremely disadvantageous to the World Government and the Marine Headquarters.
If there wasn't one Kuzan left, all the admirals of the Marine Headquarters would have run away.
"Master, you don't know the true face of those people." Su Luo complained while eating in the courtyard of Taoyuan Island, "Especially that Borsalino, he really pissed me off. If you hadn't forbidden me to take action, I would have killed him long ago."
"That's right!" Sabin said angrily, "He abused me a lot along the way. If the officials of the World Government hadn't stopped me, I might not have been able to see you."
When Sabine was rescued by Su Luo, he was covered in wounds and looked extremely miserable. It was all caused by Borsalino. However, Luke had prepared a lot of blood donation dandelions that he had picked long ago, and with Fuya's help, Sabine has recovered.
"I don't know what happened to Senna. She is now at the Marine Headquarters. I wonder if they will point the finger at her." Su Luo said with some concern.
Sabin's heart immediately rose to his throat, and he quickly said, "Master, go and save my sister. I don't want to see her get wronged."
"Eat your meal!" Lu Kai glared at Sabin unhappily and said, "You are the only one who is always bothering me."
Lu Kai was really about to cry because of his disciple's stupidity. He knew clearly that the cloaks and masks worn by the people pretending to be divine punishment were problematic, but he was still wondering why they had to change clothes when they went on a mission, and whether they had another mission.
Poor Luke and Senna gave him anti-fraud propaganda every day and told him how to distinguish between real people and imposters, but in the end, problems still occurred with him.
When Sabin heard this, he immediately lowered his head, looked at Lu Kai pitifully, and muttered: "Master, but my sister..."
"You're still worried about her?" Lu Kai's anger that had just been suppressed rose again. "She is much safer than you, and she has a mission in the headquarters. Don't worry, I won't let her have any accidents."
Of course, Senna would not be surprised. At this moment, she was holding a sign in the square of the Navy Headquarters, crying out for justice. She was suing Borsalino for framing her brother Sabine, and then used the Sabine incident to force Luke away, and now she has forced Sulo away as well.
Senna also said that when she learned that her brother was a suspect, she arrested him personally because she believed that the Navy Headquarters would give her brother justice.
However, his brother was brutally tortured on the way back to the Navy Headquarters, and everyone saw it when Sabin was taken into the Navy Headquarters.
The Navy Headquarters convicted Sabine without any investigation, and she could not accept this result.
But no one stepped forward to arrest Senna, because she was accompanied by more than 500 Iron Army soldiers. If anyone failed to handle the situation properly, it might directly trigger a war.
If a naval civil war breaks out at the naval headquarters, the navy will lose all its face.
However, Senna's request was very simple, that was to reinvestigate the case and give everyone an explanation. Even if they died, they had to die with a clear conscience.
The news soon reached the Five Elders. They felt like their heads were about to explode. Before one crisis was over, another one arose. Things had now completely gotten out of control.
Even the Five Elder Stars didn’t know why things had turned out the way they were, but they could feel that there seemed to be an invisible hand behind the scenes driving the development of all this.
In fact, in the Five Elders' plan, they wanted to imprison Lu Kai first, but not punish him.
The main reason is that they dare not punish him. Otherwise, if Lu Kai is pushed into a corner, no one will be able to have an easy life.
Then, after Sabine returns to headquarters, the Five Elders will send people to secretly try him. However, during the trial of Sabine, the Five Elders and Luke secretly reach an agreement.
They would tell Luke that Sabin's guilt had been confirmed and it was originally a capital crime. In addition, Luke himself had been accused and the case had not yet been fully investigated, so they were in a very difficult situation.
In addition, the news has become a hot topic. In order to give all parties a perfect explanation, they will ask Lu Kai to bear all the charges. However, in view of Lu Kai's contributions over the years, they will no longer pursue Sabin's guilt and will release him.
At the same time, they would tell Lu Kai that they were only letting him bear the blame for show, and that they actually wanted to protect him. Privately, they were willing to meet all of Lu Kai's demands, but from now on Lu Kai had to turn from open to covert and continue to serve them while concealing his identity.
In this way, not only can they achieve their goal, but they will also not lose Lu Kai's super strong combat power.
This was a perfect script, that's what the Five Elders thought, but now everything has gone beyond expectations, and all that's left is a mess that couldn't be worse.
Now the Iron Army is making trouble again, but the Five Elder Stars do not have the courage to suppress the Iron Army at the Navy Headquarters.
Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with Senna's request. She was not rebelling or forcing the emperor to abdicate. She just wanted an explanation. Although her method was inappropriate, she was forced to do so.
If the Five Elders ordered a crackdown at this time, the morale of the Navy Headquarters would be completely dispersed, and this matter would inevitably be characterized as a complete frame-up.
Moreover, with the Iron Army's powerful combat effectiveness, once a war breaks out, the Navy Headquarters will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Once the Navy's strength weakens and loses its deterrent power, all forces will become completely unscrupulous and they will completely lose control of the world.
Whether it can be suppressed is one thing. Lu Kai and Su Luo just escaped, not died.
Besides, in addition to the Third Iron Army, there are also the First Iron Army and the Second Iron Army!
If Lu Kai is really pushed into a corner and rises up in rebellion, bringing Su Luo and the other two iron armies to attack the Navy Headquarters, how will the situation end then?
You have to know that the premise for the Five Elders to take risky moves is that they believe Luke will not really become an enemy of the World Government and the Marine Headquarters, and they believe in Luke's loyalty.
They just wanted to continuously weaken Lu Kai's influence so that he could not pose a threat, rather than going to war with him directly.
Besides, even if we want to get rid of Lu Kai completely, we have to wait until we catch Lu Kai's family and force them to surrender.
But it's too late to say anything now, time can't be turned back.
In the end, the Five Elders could only give orders to Zhan Guo, asking him to appease the people as much as possible. However, since they did not provide any practical solutions, Zhan Guo could not act on his own, and only said that he would give a satisfactory explanation.
The Third Iron Army was naturally dissatisfied with this official argument. Although they stopped making trouble, they left the Navy Headquarters and went to sea in the name of carrying out the mission of exterminating pirates.
However, the departure of the Third Iron Army was not the end. Soon, another report that gave the Five Elders a headache was delivered to the Hall of Power.
That is, Admiral Kuzan of the Navy Headquarters and Vice Admiral Garp of the Navy Headquarters are secretly investigating the cases of Sabine and Luke, trying to find out the truth of the matter, and they have evidence.
The Five Elders are now in a dilemma. The actions of Kuzan and Garp clearly go against their wishes, but if they really punish Kuzan and Garp for this, the high-end combat power of the Marine Headquarters will be wiped out.
Lu Kai is gone, Su Luo is gone, and Sabin, who has emerged in recent years, is gone.
After leaving the Navy Headquarters, the Third Iron Army only obeyed orders and not announcements.
Not only the Third Iron Army, but also the First and Second Iron Army, they have gathered together at this moment, acting completely according to their own will, and no longer answer calls from the Navy Headquarters.
If Kuzan and Garp leave again, the Marine Headquarters will be left with only an empty shell.
