Chapter 197

Since the matter here has been resolved, it really is time to leave.

"Wait for me a moment. I'll go brief them on a few things."

Aokiji led Lu En toward Mitz's position.

"Vice Admiral Aokiji."

Seeing Aokiji walking toward him, Mitz hurriedly paid his respects with utmost deference.

His gaze shifted,

and he looked toward Lu En at Aokiji's side, the reverence and admiration in his eyes almost impossible to conceal.

"I still haven't asked—how should I address this gentleman?"

Mitz asked, his face full of anxiety and constraint.

"My name is Lu En."

Lu En said.

"Mr. Lu En, you've truly been a great trouble today. We will certainly keep firmly in our hearts the help you've given to the hundreds of thousands of residents of Chuanliu Island, and we shall never dare forget it."

"Had you not stepped in to deal with the Demon-Person Pirate Crew, those hardened villains would likely have continued to plague our Chuanliu Island, and even endanger countless common folk across this sea."

Mitz was deeply respectful and immensely grateful.

"I was merely passing through by chance. If you want to thank someone, thank Vice Admiral Aokiji."

Lu En waved his hand.

"Enough, kid Lu En. I'm not so petty as to covet this little bit of credit from you."

"Whatever credit is yours, is yours."

Aokiji rolled his eyes.

Besides…

Even if he himself wanted to claim Lu En's credit, he wouldn't dare!

After all.

He had never forgotten.

Standing behind Lu En was a truly terrifying existence!

That was none other than the Navy's hero, Vice Admiral Captain Kapu!

In any case,

with such a connection behind him, Aokiji did not dare to slight Lu En in the slightest.

"This kid, his name is Monchi D Lu En!"

"You should know the weight of that surname, yes?"

Aokiji looked toward the visibly constrained Mitz.

"M-Monchi?!"

"This…"

Mitz's eyes instantly went wide, staring at Lu En with a face full of horror.

He was dumbstruck.

That surname…

Of course he knew what it implied!

He was well aware.

The terrifying weight that surname carried within the Navy!

That was the surname of the Navy's most illustrious hero!

Never expected…

that this Mr. Lu En before his eyes was actually a descendant of that hero?!

"My heavens!"

"Today is truly the fortune of three lifetimes."

Mitz's throat went dry, his voice trembling.

After quite a while,

he cautiously asked Aokiji: "Vice Admiral Aokiji, the one you speak of—surely it isn't our Navy's…"

Before Mitz could finish,

Aokiji cut him off directly: "It's exactly the one you're imagining. Surely you must know just how terrifying this kid Lu En's background is!"

"This kid—even I don't dare provoke him."

"So…"

"Regarding the destruction of the Demon-Person Pirate Crew today, you need only report the facts truthfully upward."

"I wouldn't dare claim this kid's credit in the slightest."

"After all, I still want to live a few more years. Otherwise, if the one behind this kid Lu En found out, I'm afraid I'd either die or be flayed alive."

The reason he had proactively revealed Lu En's identity

was purely…

Aokiji didn't want Mitz here to tamper with things when reporting upward about the destruction of the Demon-Person Pirate Crew.

Now.

Having named Lu En's identity and background,

Aokiji believed—

even if you gave Mitz ten thousand guts.

The other party would also absolutely not dare to tamper with this matter!

"Goodness…"

"It's really that person's descendant?"

Receiving Qingzhi's response, the look in Mitz's eyes as he gazed at Lu En grew even more reverent.

Of course he knew.

Just how terrifying a presence that person held within the Marines!

Even a Marine Headquarters Admiral…

Was nothing more than this.

Even.

Vaguely,

In the hearts of countless Marines, that hero's influence far surpassed that of a Marine Admiral.

Even Marine Fleet Admiral Kong the Bone, whose fame in a certain sense, was also far inferior to that Marine hero!

"No wonder!"

"No wonder Mr. Lu En, at only four years old, possesses such astonishingly terrifying strength! And even possesses the potential of a king, found in only one out of a million people!"

"Even more, at the tender age of four, Mr. Lu En wiped out the entire Demon Human Pirates single-handedly!"

"So it turns out…"

"Flowing in Mr. Lu En's veins is actually the bloodline of that hero."

Mitz began to wildly speculate.

Everything, in his eyes, had suddenly become clear.

From the very moment Lu En wiped out the Demon Human Pirates, he had felt an unprecedented curiosity about Lu En's identity.

And now.

The answer had finally been revealed!

Just as expected!

Exactly as he had guessed before.

The Lu En before his eyes possessed an earth-shattering background and backing!

A background absurdly enormous!

Backing terrifyingly solid!

"Who would have thought, Mr. Lu En not only possesses world-shocking, terrifying innate talent and potential."

"Even…"

"His background and backing are also terrifyingly formidable!"
