Chapter 1016

Lu En completely overwhelmed Lu Qi.

When he stepped into the Seven Water Capital, he had wondered whether he might accidentally encounter Lu Qi there.

He had thought it was merely a guess.

But he had not expected—

In the end—

He truly did encounter Lu Qi, an old acquaintance!

Even though they had not met for a year, Lu En still recognized Lu Qi's face and identity.

More than a year had passed.

Lu Qi still looked the same.

Only…

He had become even more muscular than before.

And much taller as well.

After more than a year of cultivation, Lu Qi's strength must have surged forward dramatically.

Otherwise,

Lu Qi clearly would not have been assigned to infiltrate the Seven Water Capital.

Moreover,

Once infiltrated, he had to remain hidden for a full dozen years!

"Being a World Government agent really isn't an easy job."

"One mission requires lying low for over a decade."

Lu En felt deeply moved.

Not just Lu Qi,

but also Lu Qi's companions—

Such as,

Ka Li Fa, Captain Kaku, Bruno, and others.

All had been infiltrating the Seven Water Capital for over a dozen years for the same mission.

If it were Lu En, he certainly lacked the patience to wait and remain silent so long.

He had to admit it.

Lu Qi and the others had extraordinary patience.

If it were him, he couldn't even wait a single month.

"Long time no see."

Lu Qi stared at Lu En, his eyes burning with a fierce flame of combat intent.

A year ago,

Lu En's strength had left an indelible impression on him.

Now, a year had passed.

Lu Qi had gradually regained his former confidence.

Today,

Upon meeting Lu En again, Lu Qi naturally felt a surge of combat intent to challenge him.

Huh!

Lu Qi forcefully suppressed his combat intent with a heavy exhale.

He knew—

This was not the time to fight Lu En.

His mission was to infiltrate the Seven Water Capital.

During this process, he naturally could not draw too much attention.

Otherwise,

His infiltration mission would end in failure.

And that, of course, was not what Lu Qi wanted to see.

"What are you doing here?"

Lu Qi asked.

"Just passing through."

Lu En waved his hand, pointing at the staff inside the cabin, and smiled, "Are you sure you want us to talk here? Aren't you afraid of drawing the attention of those people inside?"

"Follow me."

Lu Qi suddenly realized his mistake.

Immediately,

He casually scanned the staff inside the cabin.

Fortunately…

Their conversation had not drawn too much attention.

Of course,

A few people had already noticed them.

"Still within manageable limits,"

Lu Qi thought.

Those who noticed their conversation agreed that he could silently slip away and assassinate these individuals, causing them to meet untimely deaths.

In this way,

his identity would be ensured to remain utterly undetected.

As an agent,

any unstable factor must be crushed and eliminated!

This, Lu Qi had deeply understood since the very moment he joined the organization.

He naturally would never harbor any mercy.

"I came to Seven Water City primarily to purchase a sailboat."

"During my journey from the East Blue back to the Marine Headquarters, I encountered a shipwreck that destroyed the sailboat I was carrying."

"With no other choice, I had to buy another sailboat and set sail again for Marineford."

"That's why I've come to Seven Water City."

As they walked together, Lu En also informed Lu Qi of his purpose.

If Lu Qi helped him,

his efficiency in purchasing a sailboat would undoubtedly increase.

After all…

Lu Qi was also a staff member of the shipyard.

Even as a newcomer to the job, he still possessed a certain amount of influence.

He could save Lu En considerable time.

"You want to buy a sailboat?"

Lu Qi pondered.

After a pause,

he said bluntly: "There are many damaged sailboats in the shipyard. After repairs and refurbishment, they can sail again. If you don't mind, I can help you find someone to buy one at the lowest price."

"Although these sailboats suffered considerable damage, after repair, I can guarantee each one will carry you safely to Marine Headquarters."

"You needn't worry too much about my skills."

"Though you clearly know my purpose in coming to Seven Water City isn't to become a shipyard worker."

Here,

Lu Qi's face full of gravity turned toward Lu En.

He was not certain.
