Chapter 261: Such a Genius? Even the Top Few Can

"Back?"

"More efficient than I imagined."

"Did you take care of all three little mice?"

Seeing Lu Qi return to the warehouse, Lu En's eyelid twitched; he casually glanced at the other and asked.

"Taken care of."

Lu Qi nodded.

He stepped beside Lu En, clinging to a faint hope, and couldn't help asking: "Did you also take care of those four? The Marine officers with bounties over thirty million Berries?"

Driven by pride,

he still wanted to compare himself with Lu En.

"What else?"

"You don't think those four could've escaped me, do you?"

Lu En regarded Lu Qi with a playful smile and answered.

"Of course!"

Instantly, Lu Qi's face fell in defeat.

He sighed helplessly, head drooping.

He really was too naive!

Lu En, this monster, would never let those four Marine officers escape if he'd gone after them.

This guy…

He's truly a monster!

Can't help but admit it!

"Forget it."

"Someone like Lu En—a monster of this caliber—is a once-in-a-century rarity across this entire sea."

"Why should I even aim for a monster like him?"

"If I aim for a monster like him, I'll never even see a glimmer of hope to catch up in my lifetime."

Lu Qi began to comfort himself.

Moments later,

Lu En asked Lu Qi: "What are your plans next? Since the Sword Lion Pirates are all wiped out, this rescue mission is effectively completed."

Upon hearing this,

Lu Qi replied directly: "Let these people lie here for now. We'll go to the Wang Gong Society to meet King Rosed IV and report the full situation to him."

"Then…"

"The rest is no longer our concern."

"The captain and officers of the Sword Lion Pirates are all dead. And all these pirates here were instantly slaughtered by your Conqueror's Haki."

"If the Rosed Kingdom can't even clean up this mess, then they deserve to be overthrown by pirates."

Looking at the ruins left behind, Lu Qi couldn't help but marvel.

Indeed, as he said.

The Sword Lion Pirates had been utterly shattered by Lu En alone.

If even this remaining mess…

King Rosed IV cannot clean up, then the Rosed Kingdom truly has no future—it's better off being overthrown by pirates right away.

"You're right."

"Then let's go. Notify Rosed IV, tell him the situation, and have him send his soldiers to handle the wreckage here."

Lu En nodded.

He had no intention of getting involved in such tedious cleanup work.

Not only was it tedious,

but it wasted enormous time.

With this time, Lu En would rather spend it on his own cultivation.

So,

Lu En, having made up his mind, left the large warehouse with Lu Qi.

Before leaving,

Lu Qi asked again: "You're certain these people won't wake up and flee the warehouse?"

He remained worried about the pirates inside the warehouse.

If all these pirates woke up and escaped, half their effort would've been wasted.

"Don't worry. They won't wake up."

"Not for at least a day—they won't regain consciousness."

Lu En smiled.

"So this is the legendary Conqueror's Haki? Truly enviable."

Lu Qi's expression was filled with envy.

The legendary Conqueror's Haki!

One in a million!

The royal potential possessed only by true monsters of the sea!

Of course, he had many thoughts about this power.

It's a pity...

He didn't feel that way.

He himself was a person with the potential of a king.

"You, what exactly is your background?"

"You can even possess the potential of a king!"

"You, clearly, your background is not simple."

"Anyone who possesses the potential of a king carries an extremely noble and illustrious bloodline."

"You, who exactly are you, He Fangshensheng?"

Luchi gazed deeply at Lu En, his eyes filled with reverence.

In this sea, those with the potential of a king are exceedingly rare.

It's said that one in a million possesses it.

But in reality,

this probability is even lower!

How many people are there in this sea?

Innumerable!

Each island's population numbers in the millions, or at least hundreds of thousands.

Tell me,

how many islands are there in this sea altogether?

Just the first half of the Grand Line alone has countless islands.

There are not fewer than a thousand islands,

at least eight hundred for sure.

Calculating this way, the population in this region of the Grand Line's first half is nearly innumerable!

Yet...

Those with the potential of a king can be counted on one hand.

Clearly.

The number of people who awaken Conqueror's Haki is far, far lower than one in a million.

Luchi could hardly imagine it.

One day,

someone who had awakened Conqueror's Haki would appear beside him—a legendary genius!

And moreover,

a monster who had mastered Conqueror's Haki at just four years old!

"Don't think so much."

"Let's go."

Lu En did not converse further with Luchi; he stepped forward and walked toward the Wang Gong.

Seeing this,

Luchi sighed helplessly and stopped pressing for answers.

But in his heart, he had already concluded:

Lu En, this monster, must have an enormous background and origin!

Anyone who can master Conqueror's Haki possesses an innate noble bloodline!

This point, Luchi firmly believed.

Only the descendants of true powerhouses...

could possess Conqueror's Haki!

This was a conclusion Luchi reached after studying countless materials on Haki.

Though he didn't know if it was true.

··········Please send flowers··· ····

But he was willing to believe it.

His own conclusion had an eighty percent chance of being correct!

Along this journey,

Luchi abandoned his usual coldness and stoicism, turning into a chatterbox who bombarded Lu En with endless questions, leaving Lu En deeply annoyed.

The old Luchi was nothing like this.

Luchi represented coldness, stoicism, and indifference.

But since Lu En displayed his immense strength, Luchi had become unusually enthusiastic, his voice never stopping, pouring out nonstop.

This left Lu En helpless.

Luchi...

Do you even realize your image has completely collapsed!

Where is your coldness?

Where is your indifference?
