Chapter 299

There must be a third person who has mastered Conqueror's Haki!

But who exactly is this person?

They had no idea.

They made a preliminary conservative judgment.

The most likely candidate is probably…

Admiral Kizaru.

Or perhaps Admiral Sakazuki,

Or even Admiral Borsalino.

These three are the most likely.

Beyond these three, they could not think of anyone else.

"You're right."

"Today, it was not Admiral Kizaru or Captain Kapu who annihilated these tens of thousands of marines."

"Nor was it any of our veteran navy officers…"

"But a brand-new recruit!"

"A mere four-year-old child!"

"Even hailed as a once-in-a-century genius!"

"It was because of him that this scene of utter devastation came to pass."

Tsuru did not conceal anything; she told them the truth.

"W-what?!"

"Four years old?!"

"A four-year-old recruit has mastered the legendary Conqueror's Haki?!"

"Admiral Tsuru, are you sure you're not joking?"

"How could such a terrifying existence exist?!"

"This is too astonishing!"

"What kind of monster is this?!"

A group of marines completely lost their composure.

Clearly,

they found Tsuru's claim utterly unbelievable.

Conqueror's Haki was for them an unattainable power, something forever out of reach, beyond any hope of touching in their lifetimes.

Yet,

they had never dared to dream…

that the terrifying power they could never hope to attain…

would one day be mastered by a mere four-year-old child!

It made them nearly question reality itself.

"So you mean…"

"Today's annihilator of tens of thousands of marines…"

"is a four-year-old child?!"

A trembling voice rose from the crowd.

The moment the voice ended,

in an instant,

the entire scene erupted in chaos!

Every single marine present widened their eyes in unison.

Their faces were filled with shock, their hearts reeling violently.

As the navy dormitory buildings were all mysteriously wiped out, the news spread like wildfire across the vast Marineford.

Tens of thousands of marines were mysteriously annihilated!

Naturally, this event drew the attention and gossip of every marine.

"When I went to the scene, I saw the utter devastation—it was horrific."

"Every marine on every floor had inexplicably collapsed into unconsciousness."

"It was extremely strange!"

"Tens of thousands of marines were all in a state of unconsciousness."

"What on earth is going on?!"

"…."

A group of marines whispered among themselves, engaging in conversation.

Many who had just left the three navy dormitory buildings began loudly spreading the news.

Soon after,

the news reached Admiral Kizaru's ears.

After careful thought, he immediately deduced the full story.

"Is it that brat Lu En?"

"Besides him, no one else would have unleashed Conqueror's Haki to knock out every marine."

"What the hell is that brat doing?"

Admiral Sengoku felt deeply puzzled.

Afterwards,

after asking around, he learned the truth from the crane.

He couldn't help but want to complain about Yu Zefa's behavior.

You're perfectly fine…

testing Lu En's monstrous strength is one thing.

Why did you insist on forcing that boy to unleash Conqueror's Haki?

Now it's done.

The situation has spiraled out of control.

Marineford will likely be anything but peaceful from now on.

Tens of thousands of marines were wiped out!

"Come to think of it…"

"Isn't Lu En's Conqueror's Haki just terrifying?"

"He's only had control for less than two months—how has his Conqueror's Haki grown this strong?"

Admiral Sengoku nearly doubted his own life.

He had spent decades of cultivation, yet only reached this level today.

Yet,

Lu En, in less than two months, seemed almost on par with him!

This struck Admiral Sengoku hard.

"No wonder he's a monster!"

Admiral Sengoku marveled repeatedly.

Then he thought again,

and couldn't help but recall.

When Golden Lion Shiki attacked Marineford, he hadn't caused such massive casualties among the marines.

Now,

simply because of a four-year-old brat named Lu En, tens of thousands of marines were annihilated.

This moved Admiral Sengoku deeply.
