Chapter 301

The sleazy man muttered in amazement, his words brimming with wonder.

This man's name is Hōryū.

Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters!

His nickname: Hōryū!

As Hōryū, legs crossed, heard the news, he inwardly displayed profound admiration.

At age four, he mastered Haki of the Conqueror…

Just this one point makes him utterly unable to catch up!

"And this monster…"

"Is also Captain Kapu's grandson!"

"Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable!"

Hōryū's heart sighed endlessly.

The sudden news had indeed caught him off guard at first.

But soon.

He accepted this astonishing, unbelievable news!

"The dormitory building for the Marines was completely wiped out by nearly twenty thousand people?"

"It seems…"

"This monster named Lu En's Haki of the Conqueror is clearly not merely at the Chuburu Sect's level—it's at least reached the room's realm."

"At just four years old, he has cultivated the Haki of the Conqueror to this fearful realm."

"Truly terrifying…"

He paused.

Hōryū's eyes narrowed slightly, his lips twitching.

"This brat is undoubtedly a complete monster!"

"No wonder he's Captain Kapu's grandson! He truly carries the bloodline of a monster!"

That day,

As news surrounding Lu En spread wildly across the vast Marineford,

it led to…

Lu En's name officially echoed throughout the entire Marine Headquarters, Marineford!

Time slipped by.

In a flash.

It was already two in the afternoon.

The blazing sun hung high overhead.

Golden sunlight poured down from the horizon.

White clouds drifted.

The sun shone brightly.

Across Marineford, countless Marine soldiers sweated profusely, training hard.

Training grounds were packed with Marine figures.

Shouts and roars rang out to the heavens.

Traveling from Lu En's quarters to Training Ground One took roughly fifteen minutes.

Following the precise location Master Zefa had given him that morning, Lu En had prepared early to head to that massive training ground.

There, as Master Zefa said, lay the exclusive training area of the camp.

And also…

The training ground for this year's elite Marine prodigies.

While Lu En was on his way to Training Ground One, he occasionally heard Marines nearby discussing the commotion he had caused.

Tens of thousands of Marines wiped out by a four-year-old brat…

This news was truly shocking and unprecedented.

Therefore,

it inevitably sparked heated discussion among the Marines of Marineford.

Even,

the military's high-level officers were drawn into the "nine-four-seven" incident's debate.

At this moment,

as Lu En passed by these murmuring Marines, his expression was peculiar.

"I didn't expect…"

"This incident caused such a huge uproar."

"I wasn't targeting those Marines—if you want trouble, go find Zefa."

"Who made him insist I unleash my Haki of the Conqueror?"

Lu En hurried past the group of Marines, leaping swiftly away toward Training Ground One.

Just as he left,

the Marines who had been talking turned their eyes suspiciously toward Lu En's retreating back.

Then,

one of them asked, puzzled: "When did our Marine Headquarters get a child this young? Has the recruitment threshold for new Marines been lowered?"

"Even a four-year-old brat can come to Marineford?"

"I remember, back then, I barely scraped by after exhausting every ounce of effort just to qualify for entry into Marineford."

With those words spoken.

The other marines nodded in agreement, their expressions puzzled.

Just then.

A timid voice rang out from one of them: "Didn't you forget? We were just talking about a four-year-old monster!"

In an instant,

The atmosphere turned deathly silent!

Not a sound!

The marines opened their mouths, their eyes widening in unison.

After a long pause,

Gulp!

Their throats rolled as they involuntarily swallowed a bitter mouthful of saliva.

Their gazes shifted,

Fixing with stunned disbelief on the direction Lu En had departed.

"My god!"

"Could it really be as you said..."

"Was the one who just passed by us, in fact, the one responsible for the annihilation of tens of thousands of marines over at the dormitory?"

"We actually encountered a being of that level?!"

"Now that you mention it, it really does seem possible!"

"No one has ever heard of a four-year-old marine in Marineford. The only one is that terrifying entity who wiped out tens of thousands of marines this morning!"

"Captain Kapu's grandson? A four-year-old monster?"

Hisss!

The marines involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.

The more they thought,

The more their hearts pounded and their flesh trembled, their faces covered in horror and shock.

The moment they imagined,
