Chapter 13

Kolbo Mountains.

The night was deep.

A slender crescent moon hung in the sky, emitting a soft white glow.

In the deep mountains and ancient forests, roars of wild beasts echoed everywhere.

Tiger roars and wolf howls,

Insects chirped from all sides.

Kapu arrived at the Kolbo Mountains with Boshan half an hour later.

Knock knock knock!

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, producing a crisp, melodious sound.

Kapu stood before the door, his brow tightly furrowed.

He could not fathom why Dadan had summoned him in such haste.

Creak!

The door swung open from within.

Amid flickering golden flames, Dadan's pale, startled face appeared; she bit down on a cigarette, gray smoke curling upward.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Upon seeing Dadan, Kapu immediately pressed for answers.

"Come in and see for yourself."

"Your grandson did this…"

Dadan hesitated, words catching in her throat.

Then,

she slowly stepped aside, clearing a path for Kapu to enter.

Following Dadan into the hall…

Kapu's first glance revealed the hall reduced to utter chaos.

Dozens of Dadan family members lay sprawled on the floor, unconscious.

Their plates lay shattered, scattered in countless jagged fragments.

Food flew everywhere,

Disordered, chaotic.

The atmosphere was eerily silent!

Strange!

Not a sound!

"Huh?!"

"This… this is…"

As Kapu took in the devastation before him, his pupils shrank involuntarily, his expression shifting slightly.

Boshan, who had been following Kapu, clearly saw the wreckage left behind.

His face changed drastically as well.

Both seemed to have vaguely sensed the truth.

Yet…

This astonishing guess was something they could not yet accept.

"Did you see it?"

Seeing Kapu's silence, Dadan spoke first.

"What happened?"

Kapu asked.

"Can't you tell?"

Dadan raised an eyebrow.

"Of course I can tell."

"So…"

"You're not going to tell me…"

"That all of this was done by my Sun Zi?"

Kapu took a deep breath, his emotions far from calm.

He stepped forward to examine the scene,

and his suspicions grew firmer.

He knew all too well why these Dadan family members lay in such a helpless state.

Each one unconscious…

Eyes rolled back,

Foam at their mouths.

Almost without exception!

Seeing this,

Kapu already had his answer.

As a Navy hero and one of the strongest on this sea,

he could instantly recognize the kind of power that had wiped out every single one of them in an instant.

This kind of power…

He had seen it more than once!

Had seen it many times!

Even,

he had personally experienced this power more than once or twice.

Back then,

when pursuing those vicious, extremely evil Great Pirates on the sea, Captain Kapu had encountered quite a few powerful pirates who possessed this terrifying power.

Among them,

the two strongest…

both controlled this kind of power!

And those two Great Pirates had mastered it to a flawless, unsurpassed degree!

"Just as you said, Kapu."

"All of this was done by your grandson!"

Dadan spoke the truth.

"Is it Ace?"

Kapu pressed.

Ace was the orphan left behind by one of those two former Great Pirates.

So.

If Ace possessed such potential, Kapu could accept it.

After all.

Ace's father…

was the Pirate King, Luo Jie!

"No, you guessed wrong."

"It's your own grandson…"

"Lu En!"

"Even Ace, who was delivering food to this kid Lu En, was instantly knocked unconscious on the road by the aura this kid erupted."

Dadan shook his head.

"This!"

Kapu couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

He knew.

his own grandson Lu En's talent had always been extremely high!

Otherwise,

it would have been impossible for him, among his peers, to subdue Ace, son of Luo Jie, with a single hand!

But he never expected…

his own grandson Lu En would actually be terrifying to this extent!

"Conqueror's Haki?!"

Kapu looked toward Dadan.

"Haven't you already guessed it?"

"Aside from the legendary Conqueror's Haki, how could an ordinary three-year-old child possibly wipe out every living being within a hundred meters in an instant."

Dadan exhaled heavily until dawn, his face complex.

"But he's only three!"

Kapu's shaken heart could not settle.

An example of awakening Conqueror's Haki at three years old?!

What kind of concept was that?

Even the well-traveled and knowledgeable Kapu, for a moment, dared not imagine it.
