Chapter 154

Kapu guessed.

The reason Aokiji left Marine Headquarters was most likely because he had a mission to carry out.

Otherwise,

with Aokiji's lazy disposition, he generally wouldn't leave Marineford so easily.

Moreover…

an ordinary Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral wouldn't have so much free time, free enough to roam this sea at will.

As for Kapu?

naturally he didn't fall within the constraints of an ordinary Vice Admiral.

Combining the above analysis,

Kapu deduced in his heart.

Aokiji's departure from Marineford must have been to carry out some mission issued from above.

"Lu En, kid, come over and take a look."

"The real monster of this sea!"

Kapu beckoned toward Lu En.

Soon,

Lu En walked to Kapu's side.

Then,

Kapu pointed at Aokiji, who was drawing closer and closer, and introduced him with a tone full of admiration: "See this little brat? His nickname is Aokiji, real name Little Kuzan."

"He's currently one of the monsters with the most potential in the Marines!"

"And also…"

"a strong contender for the future Admiral of Marine Headquarters."

"This little brat will surely become a Headquarters Admiral in the future — that's an inevitable trend."

"His strength is extremely great! Even I, for the moment, probably couldn't take this little brat Aokiji down."

"When you have time, you can find him and learn a thing or two."

After a pause,

Kapu continued, adding: "Oh right, almost forgot to mention. This little brat Aokiji is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. For the current you, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user means invincibility!"

In fact,

without Kapu's introduction,

Lu En already had a very deep understanding of Aokiji.

He was equally well aware of just how strong Aokiji was.

Aokiji was, among the countless Vice Admirals of Marine Headquarters, apart from Kapu, one of the strongest Vice Admirals!

The only Headquarters Vice Admirals on par with Aokiji were Sakazuki and Borsalino.

Apart from the monsters of the older generation,

in this era, no Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral could be mentioned in the same breath as these three Vice Admirals.

They were the true powerhouses of this sea!

Half a quarter-hour later.

Under the gazes of Lu En, Kapu, and the others,

Aokiji slung the bicycle over his shoulder and climbed the warship's stage step by step.

At the same time,

he restrained the release of his Devil Fruit ability, to avoid his own fruit power affecting the navigation of the entire warship.

Arriving on the deck, Aokiji casually set down the bicycle from his shoulder.

Then,

walking all the way to Kapu, Aokiji's eyes filled with respect as he took the initiative to greet him: "Vice Admiral Kapu, it's really been a long time."

"Aokiji, you little brat, you're getting stronger and stronger."

Kapu gazed deeply at Aokiji, then let out a great laugh.

"In front of Vice Admiral Kapu, how could I dare claim to be strong? Compared to Vice Admiral Kapu, my little bit of strength is simply nothing to speak of."

Aokiji was very modest.

And only in front of his idol Kapu…

would Aokiji — one of the strongest Vice Admirals of Marine Headquarters — show such a modest bearing.

"Right."

"Let me introduce you."

Kapu pointed at Lu En standing beside him and introduced him to Aokiji: "This is my grandson, Lu En. This time, I'm preparing to take this kid to Marineford and have him join the Marines."

Hearing this,

Aokiji looked Lu En up and down with a face full of surprise, his eyes filled with suspicion.

After a while,

looking at the proudly beaming Kapu, he couldn't help blurting out: "Vice Admiral Kapu, when did you have a grandson? How come I didn't know?"

"You've hidden it far too well."

Hearing these words,

instantly, veins popped on Kapu's forehead.

He stared at Qingzhi with a hostile look, gave a cold snort, and said, "What? I can't have a grandson? Let me tell you straight—my grandson is Lu En."

"He is a monster even more terrifying than you!"

"And a once-in-a-century, unrivaled genius!" Zhang.
