Chapter 278

It was only because,

Lu En is the grandson of Hero Kapu!

Just this one point is enough to force the Five Elders to be must be cautious.

Jioelf finally realized it belatedly.

Why had the Five Elders warned him so strongly before, telling him never to take any action plan against Lu En, that monster?

"That monster…"

"Not only does he possess extremely terrifying innate talent, but his background is also absurdly immense!"

Jioelf took a deep breath.

Even now, his emotions still could not fully settle.

At the very moment he uncovered the truth, he was utterly stunned.

The name of Hero Kapu…

Even as a CP0 officer, he too felt it thunderously resonant.

In short,

he could ignore the Marine Admirals,

he could also ignore the Marine Fleet Admiral.

But only,

the one target he must never provoke is Hero Kapu of the Marines!

This is a terrifying existence he absolutely cannot provoke!

"No wonder!"

"No wonder Lu En, this monster, possesses the potential of a king!"

"So, the bloodline flowing in him…"

"Is that of the legendary Marine hero!"

Rob Lucci's heart was deeply shaken.

At this very moment,

as Lu En's identity was fully exposed…

all the confusion tangled in Rob Lucci's mind was now completely revealed.

After a long while,

Rob Lucci let out a heavy breath.

"This, is truly and genuinely a background reaching the heavens!"

Rosad Kingdom.

Eastern harbor coast.

The sun shone brightly,

the sky stretched clear and boundless.

A vast warship rested quietly beside the harbor, its white seagull flag, Gao Gaogua, fluttering gently in the sea breeze.

Whoosh!

Occasional crisp, melodious sounds echoed, like beautiful musical notes.

After spending an hour,

Lu En returned to the harbor coast.

From afar,

he saw that familiar warship, and the group of familiar Marine soldiers standing at the deck's stage railing.

Then,

he stepped forward toward the warship.

Amid the Marines' gazes filled with awe and reverence,

Lu En ascended the deck's stage and returned to the warship's deck.

"Taken care of?"

"So fast?"

Aokiji stared at Lu En with a strange expression, utterly baffled.

Wasn't this a rescue operation?

How could it be resolved so quickly?

Isn't this kind of thing the most tedious and complex?

"Resolved."

"I also met a decent genius."

Lu En smiled.

"That Rob Lucci?"

"Was he scared by you, kid?"

Aokiji wore a teasing expression.

If it's about genius…

Who could compare to Lu En right here?!

In any case,

Aokiji could not think of a single other example that could be mentioned alongside him.

"Almost made him question reality."

Lu En said.

"Hahaha!"

"I knew it!"

"Now, let's see if the World Government's bunch still dare call anyone a genius born once every eight hundred and ninety-three years!"

"This time, they've finally met their match."

"A genius?"

"Before you, any genius is just a bunch of worthless bums."

Aokiji burst into loud laughter.

At this moment,

Captain Kapu arrived upon hearing the news.

"How's it going? Solved it?"

Captain Kapu stared at Lu En.

"Yeah, we can set sail."

"I even brought back a Devil Fruit."

"I have to say, the king of the Rosade Kingdom is indeed generous. After resolving the entire kingdom's crisis, he promised us free pick of any treasure from his vault."

"This Devil Fruit is the treasure I chose from inside."

Lu En slowly lifted in his hands the Devil Fruit, shaped like a banana but covered in mysterious patterns, its entire surface a dark purple.

"A Devil Fruit?"

Captain Kapu clicked his tongue in wonder.

He took the Devil Fruit from Lu En's hands and examined it thoroughly.

Then,

he tossed it boredly to Aokiji beside him and said, "Only the weak rely on the power of Devil Fruits. Like you, Aokiji!"

Aokiji, unfairly targeted, had no reply.

What did I ever do to you?

Why is the blame always aimed at me?

Fine!
