Chapter 174

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Oren would never have dared to believe it.

A four-year-old brat…

The other party actually possessed Conqueror's Haki!

If this got out,

who would dare believe it?!

At the same time.

When he saw more than three thousand pirates all collapsed on the ground, Aokiji, who was not far away, was instantly dumbfounded, his whole person stupefied.

"Th-this is…"

"Conqueror's Haki?!"

Aokiji's eyes went wide, his face full of shock.

He had already prepared himself to go rescue Lu En.

Who would have thought.

Lu En didn't need his rescue at all.

Moreover,

in just a single encounter…

he had instantly killed ninety-nine percent of all the pirates present!

All of this, even Aokiji was scared into a bewildered expression.

"That kid Lu En…"

"actually awakened Conqueror's Haki?!"

"The king's potential that only one in a million people possesses?!"

Shifting his gaze, Aokiji looked toward Lu En with eyes full of shock.

Suddenly,

he couldn't help but shake his head, correcting himself: "No, that's not right. More precisely, it's not that he awakened Conqueror's Haki, but that he mastered Conqueror's Haki!"

"Awakening and mastering…"

"these are two entirely different concepts."

"That kid Lu En, is he really only just four years old?!"

"Mastered Conqueror's Haki at four?"

"Goodness…"

"this, isn't that just too monstrous!"

Until now,

Aokiji finally deeply felt the truth of Captain Kapu's earlier remarks.

He vaguely understood.

Why even a top-tier powerhouse like Vice Admiral Kapu…

had nothing but praise for his grandson Lu En.

Even going so far as to claim.

that his own grandson Lu En was the most terrifying monster on this sea!

At this moment,

Aokiji began to believe it.

"An example of someone who mastered Conqueror's Haki at the tender age of just four."

"can truly be called…"

"the most terrifying monster on the sea!"

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

Looking across the seas for the past several hundred years,

among those monsters possessing the king's potential, there had never been an example of mastering Conqueror's Haki before the age of ten.

And now,

Aokiji had witnessed the first example!

The only example in several hundred years!

It simply refreshed Aokiji's entire worldview.

"Does that kid Lu En count as having set the record for the earliest awakening of Conqueror's Haki?"

Aokiji opened his mouth, staring blankly.

The more he thought about it,

the more shocked his heart became.

Now,

he could roughly understand.

Why the Kapu Society had him bring four-year-old Lu En to participate in the encirclement of the Demon-Gun Pirates.

And finally could understand.

Why Kapu, from beginning to end, had never once worried about his grandson Lu En's personal safety.

Turns out!

That kid Lu En…

was a thorough and complete monster!

"Mastered Conqueror's Haki at four years old…"

"Such an example has never been seen before!"

"This kid Lu En, today really opened my eyes…"

At this moment, Aokiji finally understood.

Just now,

why Lu En had dared to walk out alone, slowly, from the protective ring formed by the Marines, and face that group of menacing pirates without the slightest fear.

Only because…

in this kid Lu En's eyes,

that group of pirates was perhaps nothing more than a bunch of ants.

Aokiji had an illusion.

Everything happening before his eyes seemed to be entirely within this kid Lu En's control!

From beginning to end,

that kid had shown not the slightest ripple of emotion.

His expression had never changed,

calm and composed.

"What a terrifying monster!"

"In the end…"

"All my worries about this kid earlier turned out to be a joke!"

"Earlier, when I was trying to talk this kid out of it, he must have been laughing at me inside, right?"

Aokiji couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

On the other side,

Miz stared blankly at the surroundings.

Quite a few elite Marines lay collapsed on the ground.

He was dumbfounded.

"C-Conqueror's Haki?"

"He mastered Conqueror's Haki at only four years old?!"

Many Marines had fallen to the ground; only the dozens standing farther away were fortunate enough to escape.

Miz included, still able to maintain a clear consciousness.

As a Colonel of Marine Headquarters, naturally he wouldn't be knocked out on the spot by Conqueror's Haki.

However.
