Chapter 214

"What do you think?"

Aokiji spoke bluntly.

"A rescue operation?"

Lu En's eyes narrowed slightly.

For some reason,

he suddenly had a feeling.

This mission seemed vaguely familiar.

The Rosude Kingdom...

A kingdom attacked by pirates...

This mission was to rescue five hundred of the king's personal guard soldiers?

Before Lu En could press further,

Aokiji pressed on in one breath, laying out the mission's details plainly: "The ones attacking the Rosude Kingdom are a band of thugs called the Sword Lion Pirate Crew, numbering close to four thousand."

"And their captain, Sword Lion Garter, is an Animal-type Devil Fruit user who can freely transform into a sword-lion form. He's very strong, with a bounty of forty-eight million Beri."

"Next..."

After laying out the detailed intelligence on the Sword Lion Pirate Crew,

finally,

Aokiji told Lu En: "Oh right, almost forgot to tell you. This time, if you take part in the rescue mission, you'll be representing our Marines, going together with an elite sent by the World Government."

"This is a joint operation between the Marines and the World Government..."

"As the one representing the Marines, you absolutely cannot embarrass the Marines."

"The two of you are the entire manpower for the rescue mission!"

"This mission carries a certain degree of danger. If you choose to refuse, I could understand."

Having finished speaking,

Aokiji quietly waited for Lu En's answer.

If Lu En refused,

then he would simply have to take action himself.

"A joint operation?"

"An elite dispatched by the World Government?"

"Who is he?"

Lu En's eyes flashed, as if sensing something.

"Someone the World Government regards as an extremely rare genius."

"And one the CP organization places great importance on!"

"His name is Luo Bu Lucci, and this year he's only thirteen years old."

Aokiji answered.

"Luo Bu Lucci..."

Lu En suddenly saw the light.

No wonder from the very start,

he had felt this matter was somewhat familiar.

So that was it.

All his confusion was fully resolved by Lu En at this moment.

"I've decided to take part in this rescue operation."

Lu En replied.

"Good!"

Aokiji laughed.

He knew it.

Lu En was not a man who would sit quietly in his lane!

"Kid, when the time comes, you'll be representing the face of our entire Marines."

"Don't let anyone look down on our Marines."

Aokiji patted Lu En on the shoulder.

"I'm also very much looking forward to the moment I meet that Luo Bu Lucci."

Lu En smiled.

A genius?

Who exactly is the genius?

Wait and see!

Next,

Aokiji personally went to explain the matter to Captain Kapu.

Regarding this,

Kapu, however, did not object.

Since Lu En had agreed to take part, Kapu naturally had no reason to object.

And so.

Under Kapu's order.

The entire warship began sailing at full speed.

Heading to the Rosede Kingdom at maximum velocity!

The Rosede Kingdom has come under attack by nearly four thousand pirates — the situation is extremely dire.

There is no time to delay,

every second counts.

Naturally, they could not afford to waste too much time.

……

Time slipped by in a flash.

In the blink of an eye,

a full day had already passed.

On this day,

the scorching sun blazed like fire.

The sunlight was bright and beautiful.

Golden, dazzling sunlight poured down from the edge of the sky.

The Grand Line.

Rosede Kingdom, port coastline.

One could only see,

at the far end of that boundless, distant sea.

A naval warship of incomparably massive size was gradually sailing in from the distance.
