Chapter 294

Boom!

An earth-shattering burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Lu En's body.

Carrying a force capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Shaking the heavens and trembling the earth!

Churning the oceans and overturning the seas!

An invisible, terrifying aura spread rapidly from Lu En's body as its center, surging beyond dozens of meters and continuing to extend.

The first to sense this Conqueror's Haki, Zefa revealed a look of shock and stunned disbelief.

He felt it.

An immensely terrifying aura of pressure!

Seeking to crush and shatter his will.

But, as a Marine Fleet Admiral, though he possessed no potential for kingship and had not mastered Conqueror's Haki, he could still effortlessly dispel the impact of that Conqueror's Haki.

Yet…

Zefa had to admit.

The intensity of the Conqueror's Haki Lu En unleashed far exceeded his prior expectations.

He had thought.

A mere four-year-old brat, no matter how prodigious, having just begun to grasp Conqueror's Haki, should by all logic be nowhere near powerful.

However,

Only when he personally felt Lu En's unleashed Conqueror's Haki did Zefa suddenly realize his mistake.

He finally understood.

His earlier assumption was utterly wrong.

Completely absurd!

Beyond ridiculous!

Zefa had never dreamed.

That a mere four-year-old child, just beginning to master Conqueror's Haki, could unleash a Conqueror's Haki aura of such staggering power.

It left him stunned.

"H-How could it…?"

29

Zefa opened his mouth, eyes wide and bulging, staring blankly at Lu En.

Only at this very moment,

did he realize how naive his earlier thoughts had been!

At this moment,

he finally understood Captain Kapu's words.

Some monsters…

cannot be judged by ordinary worldly standards.

For instance,

the four-year-old Lu En before him!

"Could this brat's Conqueror's Haki really be this strong?!"

"How is that possible?!"

"He's only four years old…"

"And he's only just begun mastering Conqueror's Haki—yet he's already reached this terrifying level?!"

"Are you serious?!"

"What kind of monster is this brat, Lu En?!"

Zefa's spirit trembled violently.

He was stunned by the intensity of Lu En's unleashed Conqueror's Haki.

As the earth-shattering Conqueror's Haki slowly spread and swept across the distance…

Zefa suddenly snapped out of his shock.

His eyes filled with horror.

He turned his gaze to the surroundings.

There stood row upon row of Marine barracks!

Inside them…

were no fewer than tens of thousands of Marines resting.

Now,

these tens of thousands of Marines were about to be engulfed by that earth-shaking Conqueror's Haki.

Thinking of this, Zefa's face changed drastically; his previously calm, composed expression had completely transformed into terror, his face pale.

"What the—?!"

"This is bad…"

"I think I've made a huge mistake!"

"Trouble's huge!"

"These tens of thousands of Marines might all be knocked unconscious."

Zefa was filled with profound regret.

He wanted to speak up and stop Lu En from continuing to unleash Conqueror's Haki.

But unfortunately…

Once Conqueror's Haki is activated, stopping it is nearly impossible.

Only by clashing Conqueror's Haki with Conqueror's Haki can its spread be halted.

And Zefa, for all that, had no latent potential to awaken Conqueror's Haki.

Naturally,

he could not stop Lu En.

He couldn't even shout for him to stop!

"I was wrong!"

"I shouldn't have let this monster Lu En unleash Conqueror's Haki here."

"Now look what's happened."

"Soon, tens of thousands of Marines will be knocked out cold by this true storm. My troubles will be immense."

"Admiral Koby is unlikely to let me off easily."

"What have I done?"

Zefa felt a creeping numbness crawl over his scalp.

A strong premonition surged within him.

What came next…

Would be an endless mountain of troubles and complaints!

"How was I supposed to know Lu En's Conqueror's Haki would be this strong?!"

"If only I'd thought ahead…"

"Captain Kapu was right—that kind of monster can't be judged by ordinary standards."

"And this brat Lu En? He's precisely such a monster beyond worldly understanding."

Zefa was filled with regret.

I was careless!

Never in a million years did I expect…

This four-year-old brat Lu En, having just mastered Conqueror's Haki, had already refined it to this terrifying level!

It might not be much weaker than Kousen's Conqueror's Haki!

Who could believe it?!

A four-year-old brat's Conqueror's Haki, rivaling that of Admiral Kousen of the Marine Headquarters?!

If this got out…

The entire Marine Headquarters would be completely ignited!

"Captain Kapu, your grandson really is a monster!"

Recalling Captain Kapu's words from yesterday, Zefa sighed helplessly.

So…

Captain Kapu hadn't been exaggerating.

Everything he said was true!

In fact,

this brat Lu En was even more monstrous than Captain Kapu had claimed!

Just as Zefa felt his troubles were mounting…

The overwhelming, unstoppable tide of Conqueror's Haki had already surged outward from Lu En's body, engulfing every living thing and object within a three-hundred-meter radius.

Coincidentally,

three barracks towering among the clouds were swept within the reach of Lu En's staggering Conqueror's Haki.

Thus,

the Marines inside those three barracks became targets of this Conqueror's Haki.

Unfortunately…

They were terribly unlucky.

They became the targets of Lu En's staggering Conqueror's Haki.

The Marines living in the communal barracks were overwhelmingly from the military's grassroots, not Marine officers.

If they were Marine officers, they'd at least have had their own private quarters.

Therefore,

every single target engulfed by Lu En's Conqueror's Haki was a grassroots Marine soldier.

Faced with this earth-shattering Conqueror's Haki, grassroots Marine soldiers naturally lacked the strength or means to resist or block it.

Clearly visible…

As Lu En's Conqueror's Haki swept across a three-hundred-meter diameter,

the Marines inside the three barracks had been busily engaged in their own tasks.

Some were asleep,

some were training,

others were reading.

Marines of all kinds were doing different things.

But in that instant—
