Chapter 457: Marshal's Departure
Lu Kai will make a big move next to cleanse the world of evil, and the World Government can use it to attract firepower from all over the world.
Even though the prestige of the world government is gone, this golden signboard still has infinite appeal.
Once Luke destroys the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, those who want to replace them with ambitions will immediately jump out to accuse Luke of crimes, and call on the whole world to oppose Luke under the banner of justice.
Many people who do not know the truth may be instigated to bring chaos to the world out of thin air.
Furthermore, the Celestial Dragons and the World Government can no longer cause harm to this world because Lu Kai will not allow it.
In addition, Luke can monitor Marijoa at all times, so no matter what the World Government does, Luke knows it, so they are no longer a threat.
The Celestial Dragons and the World Government are like grasshoppers after autumn, and they can't jump for a few more days. But before they perish, Lu Kai wants to squeeze out all their surplus value. It is more useful to keep them for the time being.
What Lu Kai had to do next was very simple, that was to use the emperor to control the princes and end the era of great pirates.
So after Lu Kai became the marshal of the naval headquarters, he immediately held another headquarters competition.
After the competition, he made large-scale personnel changes and sent his iron army soldiers in teams to the naval branches in the four major sea areas.
As for the base chiefs of the G-direct branches in the Grand Line and the New World, they are all served by the former Iron Army senior officials.
It's not that Lu Kai abused his power for personal gain. It's just that the strength shown by the Iron Army in the internal war and the competition was too strong. It would be abnormal for them not to serve as base commanders.
However, Lu Kai also gave hope to other navy officers, that is, Lu Kai planned to form a second iron army, and the planned number of people in the second iron army would be 5000, and the members would be selected from naval officers all over the world.
These people were treated exactly the same as Lu Kai's first Iron Army. They would stay at the headquarters for the next two years to receive his personal instruction and go on missions with him.
After arranging all the affairs, Lu Kai finally had time to rest.
On the balcony of Cap's residence, there was a table in the middle. Luke and Cap were holding tea on the left and right, tasting it carefully.
Lu Kai has few hobbies, and drinking tea is one of them.
Garp blew on the scalding tea, took a sip and sighed, "I didn't expect you, a brat, could really do it. From now on, you have the final say in this world."
Karp's words are not an exaggeration at all.
The Navy and the Divine Punishment, one in the open and one in the secret, completely obey Luke. Three of the Four Emperors are Luke's stable allies, plus the Revolutionary Army, which has a very good relationship with Luke.
It can really be said that the world has entered the Lu Kai era. From now on, no one in the world dares to disobey his orders.
"Teacher, thank you so much for all these years!" Lu Kai said sincerely, "I thought you would be disappointed in me, but I didn't expect you to support me so much."
"Hahaha!" Karp suddenly laughed. "To be honest, I did have some ideas in my mind at first, but when I saw that you never changed your position of justice, I really wanted to see how far you could go."
"By the way, teacher, I have a request and I hope you can agree to it." Lu Kai put down the teacup and sat upright.
"You little brat, you're so serious all of a sudden. Why do I feel a little nervous?" Karp's face also turned serious.
"Hahaha!" Luke was amused by Garp and said, "After I am promoted to marshal, I will be stationed at the headquarters for two years and monitor Marijoa at the same time.
"But now that the position of admiral is vacant, I hope you can be promoted to admiral of the Navy Headquarters."
Garp fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a while, he said, "I didn't want to become an admiral before because I didn't want to serve the Celestial Dragons. Now I don't have such concerns, but I still have to refuse!"
"Uh...why?" Lu Kai asked puzzled.
"Hahaha!" Garp laughed. "What's the difference between me being a lieutenant general and a general? Now that you're a marshal, do you dare to object to what I do?"
Oh my god, that makes so much sense. Lu Kai didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
"So let's give the opportunity to the young people!" Karp sighed as he looked at the sky in the distance. "I am already 63 years old. It is only a matter of time for me to go downhill. Why should I keep occupying the toilet without doing anything?"
"Teacher, I have a way to make you live longer, even longer..."
"That's enough!" Karp suddenly interrupted Luke rudely, "I said, are you okay? Who do you think I am?
"Birth, aging, illness and death are the norm in life and also the fun of it. Don't ever mention this kind of thing in front of me again, or I'll retire immediately."
Lu Kai immediately shut his mouth obediently. He knew that once Karp got serious, he would definitely do what he said.
"By the way, I'm going back to the East China Sea in a few days. Do you want to go?" Karp suddenly changed the subject.
"I won't go." Lu Kai said with a smile, "I just met those little guys not long ago. Besides, how can a marshal of the Navy leave Marinford so easily?"
"Hmph, don't give me that!" Garp said with an unhappy look on his face, "You can go anywhere in the world in a moment. Don't wait for my warship to arrive and then suddenly show up again."
"Haha, teacher, you still understand me!"
In the Marshal's residence, Lu Kai was looking through some documents. Sitting opposite Lu Kai were Su Luo, Sabin and Cherno.
The three of them were laughing like fools at this moment. Ever since Lu Kai became the marshal of the Navy Headquarters, the excitement in their hearts had never subsided. There was always a feeling of unreality.
However, Lu Kai has been too busy recently and has not paid much attention to them, simply choosing to leave them alone. Now that he has summoned the three brothers, it is natural that he has something to tell them.
"I have something to tell you." Lu Kai put down the information in his hand and suddenly said, "Everyone knows that one of the responsibilities of the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters is to guard the headquarters, so there are rumors that many pirates are excited.
"But we must never do anything that makes the enemy comfortable. If the enemy is comfortable, it means we are wrong, so I plan to break this rule.
"I will be going out to sea in a while to deal with those arrogant pirates and underground dark forces myself. When I'm away, I need someone to guard the headquarters for me. Who do you think is more suitable?"
As soon as Lu Kai finished speaking, Sabine and Cherno looked away with innocent expressions, but their fingers pointed at Su Luo tacitly.
"I am the eldest senior brother after all. How could you two betray me so easily?" Su Luo said with tears in his eyes as he looked at the actions of his two junior brothers.
"Why, are you unhappy?" Lu Kai frowned and asked.
Su Luo immediately became depressed and said bitterly, "Master, if you want me to guard the place, just tell me directly. Why bother pretending to be democratic?"
"There has to be some sense of ceremony!" Lu Kai didn't care at all, and said, "Guarding the Navy Headquarters is not only symbolic, but also necessary to monitor Marijoa. Suluo's Thunder Fruit is the perfect choice.
"Remember, be alert to the Five Elders. They are very powerful. Even you are no match for them when they join forces. If you see anything unusual, tell me immediately."
