Chapter 122

Occasionally encountered pirate crews, upon seeing such a massive warship, fled at the mere sight of it, not daring to attempt to approach at all.

Therefore.

The four-day voyage was extremely smooth, encountering no obstacles the entire way.

Occasionally running into some small-time thieves, they were directly bombarded by the warship with long-range bombs, and in just a few strikes those small-time thieves were easily wiped out clean.

Overall speaking.

During these four days, Lu En was basically in a state of arduous cultivation (Qian Li Zhao).

Of course.

Four days of cultivation...

Naturally brought Lu En tremendous gains.

"System, bring up the status panel."

Lu En's mind stirred, and he began to check his current physical condition.

【Host: Lu En】

【Strength: 27.1 (+1.1)】

【Speed: 23.2 (+0.8)】

【Stamina: 28.5 (+1.1)】

【Spirit: 14.9 (+0.3)】

【Ghost Back Completion: 10.46%】

【Current Cultivation Effect Overall Boost: 100x!】

This was the overall harvest Lu En obtained after spending four days.

A small increase in strength!

Although it couldn't be called a surge in strength,

but in just four short days, being able to welcome a small increase and change in his own strength had already left Lu En feeling quite satisfied.

Just as Lu En was carefully examining his status panel.

Without any warning...

Suddenly—!

A great shout filled with panic and urgency came from the nearby deck railing.

"It's a Sea King!"

"There's a Sea King of incomparably massive size, charging at extreme terrifying speed toward the position our warship is sailing toward!"

"If we don't stop it in time..."

"In a moment, our entire warship is very likely to be smashed apart on the spot by it!"

"Quick! Go report to Vice Admiral Captain Kapu!"

A group of marines, expressions hurried, stood at the edge of the warship's deck railing.

Their faces full of terror, their gazes filled with unease as they gazed into the distant sea area.

It could be clearly seen.

In the boundless sea area in the distance,

approximately several kilometers away.

Deep beneath the sea, a Sea King of incomparably massive size. Appearing as a huge black shadow, was madly charging toward the warship's direction.

As if it had gone berserk!

Splash splash splash—

The calm sea surface was stirred up with rippling waves and sprays.

Vast and magnificent,

the waves surged and rolled.

The rippling wave patterns spread in all directions along their trajectories.

The entire sea surface sent up a large patch of water droplets dancing gracefully, accompanied by the pleasant sound of flowing clear springs.

Because this Sea King's speed was too fast, the sea surface was split open as if cut apart, revealing a ferocious and terrifying great rift in the sea.

Even though several kilometers away,

the marine observers stationed on the warship could still see clearly that the Sea King lurking beneath the sea was at least no less than ten meters in size!

This was a true Sea King!

Placed in the East Sea, a Sea King of this size could serve as a local overlord.

But in the Grand Line...

a Sea King of this size was nothing more than the most ordinary of Sea Kings.

Once this Sea King was allowed to pass directly beneath the warship, it would inevitably cause irreversible damage to the warship, and might even very possibly cause the entire warship to shatter and collapse on the spot.

"Sea King?"

On the deck, Lu En naturally heard the voices of that group of marines, filled with urgency and panic.

He raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting away from his status panel.

Then,

stepping forward, with a slightly curious mood, Lu En came to the wooden railing of the deck, standing at a position beside a group of marines.

"Mr. Lu En."

With Lu En's arrival, he immediately drew the attention of all the marines present, who cast reverent gazes his way.

During this period of time,

Lu En had already, through his own actions, his astonishing natural talent, and his terrifying strength, deeply won over every single Marine on the entire warship.

Every Marine who saw Lu En couldn't help but reveal a deep sense of reverence.

This was absolutely not out of regard for Captain Kapu's face.

But purely because…

Lu En's own hard work and effort made these people admire him wholeheartedly from the bottom of their hearts.

"So this is the legendary Sea King?"

Lu En nodded at this group of Marines, then shifted his gaze, looking with great interest at the enormous Sea King bearing down on the sea area directly ahead.

The Sea King traveled beneath the sea at an extremely fast speed, causing the surface to show cracks as if about to be split apart, with seawater splashing up and scattering across the sky.

Looking from afar,

one could only see a pitch-black, ink-like enormous dark shadow.

Not long after,

Lieutenant Colonel Bokato arrived on the deck.

At the same time,

Kapu also arrived.

And upon seeing Kapu's figure, all the panic-stricken Marines finally heaved a long sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted, and their expressions and demeanor returned to their usual state.

From this, one could see,

just how heavy a weight Kapu carried in the hearts of this group of Marines!

And how strong a sense of security he brought them!

Even,

making all the Marines believe.

As long as Vice Admiral Kapu made a move, all difficult matters could be resolved with ease.

There was nothing Vice Admiral Kapu couldn't do.

Just a mere Sea King…

Once Vice Admiral Kapu made a move, wouldn't it be a trivial matter he could resolve with a flick of the wrist?

"Vice Admiral Kapu, you've finally come."

"That Sea King is about to ram our entire warship. At this point, even if we order the helmsman to change the warship's course, I'm afraid it would already be too late."

One Marine after another spoke up with anxious expressions.
