Chapter 15

What had happened tonight was enough to keep his heart in turmoil for quite some time, unable to calm down.

Watching Captain Kapu's departing back…

Lu En could only look helplessly at the wreckage strewn across the floor of the house.

"Lu En kid, from now on you absolutely must not unleash that power again."

"The people here can't withstand your thrashing."

"Even I…"

"only escaped unscathed by sheer luck — I wasn't knocked out by your Conqueror's Haki burst."

Dadan couldn't help but speak up.

Recalling,

the sensation of her body being enveloped by Conqueror's Haki just now, she felt waves of shivers running down her spine.

If there were a next time,

she had no confidence,

that she could withstand the shock of that terrifying aura.

When all was said and done…

she was nothing more than a petty bandit chieftain.

No matter how faint the Conqueror's Haki, it wasn't something she could block just because she wished to.

"Don't worry, it won't happen again."

Lu En nodded in agreement.

"That's good then."

"The mess here, leave it to me to clean up."

"You go back and rest first."

"I imagine that, having just awakened Conqueror's Haki, both your body and spirit must be utterly exhausted. Right now, you need a good rest — make sure not to leave any hidden injuries or dangers."

Dadan's face was utterly serious.

"Thank you."

Lu En gazed at Dadan's concerned face; for a moment, her fierce features even seemed extraordinarily kind, and a warm feeling welled up inside him.

Though they were a band of bandits…

in truth,

every member of the Dadan family, Dadan included, had always been unusually friendly to Captain Kapu's family.

Turning around,

Lu En went back to his room, lay down on the wooden bed, gazed out through the window, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Just as Captain Kapu and Dadan had said…

ever since that surging spiritual power within him had erupted, a wave of drowsiness had instantly washed over Lu En's entire body and mind, leaving him utterly weary, and his body had become extraordinarily heavy.

"Looks like my current physical fitness is still far too poor after all."

"Even though I'm nearly ten times stronger than an ordinary adult, I still can't bear the heavy burden the body is left with after unleashing Conqueror's Haki."

Lu En was helpless.

He himself…

was still far too weak!

So,

tomorrow he absolutely had to double his training!

He had to master Conqueror's Haki completely as soon as possible.

Then,

he would train in the Navy's Six Powers!

And master the remaining two colors of Haki entirely!

"System, bring up the status panel."

Before falling asleep, Lu En checked his current physical attributes once more.

【Host: Lu En】

【Strength: 7.5 (+0.8)】

【Speed: 6.8 (+0.7)】

【Stamina: 8 (+0.9)】

【Spirit: 10 (+10)】

【Ghost Back Completion: 10.03%】

【Current Overall Training Effect Boost: 100x!】

With a thoroughly pleased mood, Lu En quickly fell asleep.

……

Stepping out through the gate,

Captain Kapu looked up at the sky and suddenly burst into inexplicable, hearty laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

His booming laughter rang out,

drawing the gaze of wild beasts in the dim jungle all around — none of them daring to approach.

At his side, Bokator watched Captain Kapu laughing without pause and thought to himself.

It seems...

Vice Admiral Kapu has a worthy successor!

At this moment,

The reason Kapu was laughing so heartily and openly was not only because his grandson was so extraordinarily gifted.

It was also because...

He finally had something to brag about to his old friend Sengoku!

"Bring the Den Den Mushi..."

"This old man is going to personally deliver this earth-shattering piece of good news to that old coot Sengoku, and share the joy with him."

Kapu said to Bokatto.

Hearing this,

Bokatto's face turned strange, and he could not help muttering inwardly.

Sharing the joy was just an excuse...

Most likely, he just wanted to show off in front of Admiral Sengoku!

Of course.

These words, Bokatto naturally did not dare to say out loud.

He hesitated: "Vice Admiral Kapu, isn't this a bit inappropriate? It's the middle of the night; Admiral Sengoku should already be asleep. If we wake Admiral Sengoku at this hour..."

"Cut the nonsense, hurry up and bring the Den Den Mushi over."

Kapu rolled his eyes, dismissive.

So what if he's asleep?

My grandson Lu En is so extraordinarily gifted...

He awakened Conqueror's Haki at just three years old!

What's wrong with sharing the good news with old friend Sengoku?

That old coot Sengoku, in his daily life, never cares whether this old man is free when he's showing off to me.

This time,

It's finally this old man's turn!

That kid Lu En is pretty good, really giving this old man face!.
