Chapter 118: Leaving Luo Ge Town

A quarter-hour later,

Lu En smoothly arrived at the port of Luo Ge Town from the bustling central street of Luo Ge Town.

The moment he reached the port,

he saw—

a group of Marines, who had originally been transporting cargo to the warship's warehouse, all stopped what they were doing and, as if by unspoken agreement, turned gazes full of reverence toward Lu En.

The focus of all eyes,

admired by the masses.

Pair after pair of worshipful gazes were all fixed upon Lu En.

This strange atmosphere…

left even Lu En feeling wave after wave of awkwardness.

"Mr. Lu En, you've certainly stirred up quite a commotion in Luo Ge Town."

Bokatu came to Lu En's side, exclaiming in admiration again and again.

"I've made a laughingstock of myself in front of Lieutenant Colonel Bokatu."

Lu En shook his head and let out a rueful chuckle.

Dealing with a mere pirate with a bounty of ten million Berries might still count as earth-shattering here in Luo Ge Town.

But for someone like Bokatu—an elite Marine and Lieutenant Colonel of Marine Headquarters—

a pirate with a ten-million-Berry bounty was naturally nothing to write home about.

One must understand:

Bokatu was Captain Kapu's trusted subordinate; his strength was naturally beyond question.

Even an ordinary Marine Colonel's strength was far inferior to Bokatu's!

Precisely because of this,

Lu En felt—

that dealing with a mere Buggy Pirates crew was, at most, nothing special in Bokatu's eyes.

"Just now, Vice Admiral Kapu heard of Mr. Lu En's deeds and cheered loudly, in a very cheerful mood."

Bokatu continued.

"The old man knows too?" 29

Lu En was at a loss.

It was just a small thing…

how did the whole world come to know about it?

"For Mr. Lu En, this is no small matter."

"You're only four years old!"

"Across this entire sea, who at the age of four could possess combat power as formidable as yours, Mr. Lu En? There has never been any such precedent!"

"Looking back over the Marines' several hundred years, a monstrous talent like Mr. Lu En—possessing such stunning, world-shocking gifts—has never existed either."

"So, Mr. Lu En, please don't sell yourself short."

"If even a once-in-a-century genius like you starts belittling yourself, then how could other Marines of ordinary talent bear it?"
