Chapter 1065

At least,

If he meets Ben Beike Man again, Lu En is confident he can defeat him.

Of course.

It would require a terrible cost to defeat him.

But, Lu En is confident.

He absolutely will not suffer mutual destruction with Ben Beike Man again!

The one who will ultimately fall…

Must be Ben Beike Man!

The final victor,

Can only be him!

Gradually,

He withdrew his gaze from the attribute panel,

and Lu En gazed deeply into the endless ocean ahead.

After a full several days of sailing,

he had a certain understanding of his route.

Therefore,

Based on the existing clues and intelligence, he could make a rough calculation.

"If I'm not mistaken,"

"sailing this sailboat further ahead…"

"we should reach the Shambody Islands."

"The Shambody Islands…"

Lu En's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression tinged with anticipation.

On the return voyage from the East Blue to the Marine Headquarters in Marinford, one must inevitably pass through the Shambody Islands.

This is beyond doubt.

This time, sailing this sailboat,

he had sailed all the way from Seven Water City,

deliberately avoiding the Magic Triangle.

If he had accidentally entered the Magic Triangle, his sailing efficiency would not have been this high.

Once trapped in the Magic Triangle, the perpetual fog causes most ships to lose their sense of direction and become utterly stranded in that sea.

Although Lu En was not afraid of the Magic Triangle, he did not wish to waste excessive time because of it.

So,

he actively steered the sailboat around the Magic Triangle.

In just three days,

he was about to reach the Shambody Islands.

Although he had not met the World Government's Seven Warlords of the Sea, Moonlight Moria, leaving Lu En with a lingering sense of regret, he did not dwell on it much.

"With my current strength, if I were to encounter Moonlight Moria…"

"I feel I could kill him with one hand."

Shaking his head, Lu En thought.

Thinking of this, his interest in meeting Moonlight Moria faded.

Although Moonlight Moria was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, in Lu En's view, he was perhaps the weakest among them.

At this stage,

even Crocodile, the Sand Crocodile, whose bounty had not yet exceeded one hundred million Berries, was, in Lu En's estimation, far stronger than Moonlight Moria.

After a long while,

he suppressed all his thoughts and gazed toward the endless ocean ahead.

According to his estimate,

within about an hour, he would arrive at the Shambody Islands.

If his route was correct…

Everything would unfold exactly as he had expected.

"Shambody Islands, I'm coming."

Lu En's eyes gleamed.

He had long felt intense curiosity about the Shambody Islands, the famed island of the Grand Line.

Known as…

the final island of the first half of the Grand Line.

From the Shambody Islands, the next destination would be Fish-Man Island and the New World.

Strictly speaking,

Fish-Man Island was not a goal, only a transit point.

The Shambody Islands were the vital island connecting to the New World.

Countless pirate crews gathered there,

and within the island, burning, killing, and looting occurred daily.

World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons, occasionally appeared.

It was an island, decaying to the core yet outwardly dazzlingly prosperous.

Long ago, Lu En had wanted to see the Sabaody Archipelago with his own eyes.

But he had never found the chance.

Now,

the chance had come.

"In my memory, in the Sabaody Archipelago…"

"Resides an elder from the old era."

"I look forward to meeting the legendary Sea King, King of the Underworld, Lei Li."

Lu En smiled.

The hidden elder of the Sabaody Archipelago was naturally the legendary Sea King, King of the Underworld, Lei Li.

The right hand of the Pirate King Luo Jie!

A mighty supreme master of the seas.

Though the man had long since retired from the martial world.

Yet Lu En still greatly looked forward to meeting him.

Next,

Lu En enjoyed a rare moment of ease.

He sailed his sailboat,

heading toward the Sabaody Archipelago.

Glancing sideways,

on the horizon, a flock of seagulls flew past.

Wings outstretched,

darting through the Bai Yun.

In their beaks, they carried posters, each marking major events recently occurring across the seas.

At this moment,

one poster slowly drifted down from high above.

It landed on Lu En's head.

"Rumors circulating across the seas lately?"
