Chapter 108

He chuckled softly.

Faced with the curious questions from Gerson and the others, he did not choose to hide anything,

but answered truthfully.

"What a coincidence — it's exactly as you're all guessing right now."

"The one who overturned the entire East Sea Marine Branch fortress — that was me."

"The one who, at only four years old, single-handedly wiped out the entire White Ostrich Pirate Crew — that was also me."

"The Lu En you all speak of — is actually me!"

"As for this answer…"

"Are you satisfied?"

As Lu En's voice slowly fell.

In an instant,

the entire hall fell silent!

"Just as I thought!"

"In this world, there are never so many coincidences."

"Some coincidences…"

"are inevitable!"

"Some time ago, that four-year-old monster who blew up the Marine base!"

"Was you!"

Gerson couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, staring at Lu En before him with a face full of shock.

He had thought,

it was nothing more than an exaggerated rumor.

But today,

Gerson finally witnessed it with his own eyes.

In this world, there truly exists such an unreasonable monster!

For example,

the Lu En before his eyes!

"I had originally planned to sincerely invite you to join our Marines."

Thinking of this, Gerson couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

A once-in-a-century absolute genius…

If he could join the Marines,

then.

As the one who recommended him, he would naturally be able to gain a certain amount of merit from it!

This would be a great achievement!

Even,

it could elevate his rank by another level, no longer needing to hold down this place called Luo Ge Town, but instead returning to Marine Headquarters to take up a post.

Unfortunately,

Gerson's plan had not even begun to unfold before it had already turned to foam.

As for the reason?

Gerson fixed his gaze, filled with reverence, upon Lu En.

If Lu En were merely a monster with the combat power of a bounty worth tens of millions, that naturally would not be enough to make Gerson, a Marine Headquarters Colonel, feel such reverence toward Lu En.

But the problem was…

Gerson knew.

The Lu En before his eyes was not only a once-in-a-century absolute genius!

The other party also possessed a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering, terrifying identity!

An identity even more noble than countless people in the entire Marines!

A colossal background!

An overwhelming origin!

Even the biological child of a Marine Headquarters Admiral would have an identity far inferior to that of the four-year-old Lu En before him.

Of this, Gerson could be certain.

"Whether it's talent, or identity and background…"

"Almost nothing to fault!"

"This, is truly the Son of Destiny!"

"Talent unrivaled through the ages!"

"Identity incomparably illustrious!"

Gerson exclaimed in wonder again and again.

In the past,

he never believed in fate.

But today, having seen the Lu En before his eyes, he began to believe in fate.

Some people…

are born as natural-born strong!

The Lu En before their eyes was exactly such an example!

"You must be Captain Kapu's grandson, yes?"

Gersen asked in a trembling voice.

Captain Kapu — that was the very pinnacle of the Marines' existence!

One of the most fearsome monsters on the sea!

Nominated for Admiral countless times, the sole person to actively refuse the position of Marine Admiral.

What's more…

The hero of the entire Marines!

Hero Kapu!

He was the lifelong faith of countless Marines.

The reason countless people joined the Marines was not only the justice in their hearts, but also the fame of Hero Kapu drawing them in.

This was the terrifying influence Kapu held within the Marines.

And as the grandson of Hero Kapu…

How noble and illustrious was this layer of identity?

Self-evident.

Even the grandson of the Fleet Admiral would be no more than this.

In Gersen's eyes.

The Lu En before them was a true, genuine third-generation!

An incomparably noble identity…

An illustrious status!

Even though the other party had not yet joined the Marines, he still possessed an incomparably transcendent identity and status.

"C-Captain Kapu's grandson?!"

Lilith and a young Marine beside her stared at Lu En in utter shock, a thick reverence surfacing in their eyes.

The name of Hero Kapu,

Resounded like thunder across this sea.

Especially in the East Blue…

Kapu's name, faintly, was even more illustrious than that of the Fleet Admiral, Steelbone Kong!
