Chapter 360

It's just that they felt deeply dissatisfied with this kind of decision in their hearts.

"Just behave and keep your head down."

"This kind of thing isn't something you and I can change."

"Let alone me."

"Even the Fleet Admiral has no say in this matter."

"The Seven Warlords proposal was already decided the moment it was issued from Marine Headquarters. The Marines can't change or oppose it — they can only go along with it."

Lu En said bluntly.

Once a Seven Warlords proposal is issued...

The Shibi Society is bound to stir up enormous upheaval within the Marines!

And.

From then on, the Marines might also split into many, many factions.

Originally.

The Marines were very pure.

They only existed to deal with the pirates on this sea!

To protect the common people of this sea.

The Marines' creed was also very simple.

Protect the weak,

Punish the wicked.

But now.

With the emergence of the Seven Warlords proposal...

One can imagine.

Marine Headquarters will inevitably produce many different voices.

Even splitting into many factions.

From now on...

The Marines will no longer be pure.

This point, Lu En could imagine as well.

Even the World Government has to publicly acknowledge the legal rights of pirates.

How could the Marines possibly stomach that?

Over these years.

To deal with those viciously evil pirates on this sea, how many lives have the Marines lost?

And how much blood have they shed?

The grudges and entanglements between pirates and Marines clearly weren't formed in a short time.

They've existed since ancient times!

From ancient times to now.

Pirates have never been legal.

But now.

Because of a proposal drafted by the World Government.

Pirates who originally deserved death for their crimes have suddenly transformed into great pirates with legal rights, even protected by the World Government!

How would the Marines feel about this?

They toiled with life hanging by a thread to maintain the peace of this sea, fighting life-and-death battles against pirates every day, making tireless efforts to wipe these pirates out completely.

Suddenly.

The pirates the Marines hated to the bone...

·· ·········Seeking flowers··· ····

Became legal pirates protected by the World Government, causing the Marines to no longer be able to casually lay a hand on these pirates.

How could they possibly accept this outcome?

"Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"I really look forward to meeting you."

"That day, Duobanbu Society won't be too far off."

Lu En narrowed his eyes slightly, pressing down all the many thoughts in his head.

Fortunately...

The Seven Warlords proposal was put forward after he had grown stronger.

Otherwise,

In such a chaotic Marine Headquarters, he probably wouldn't be able to stay any longer.

Luckily.

At the very start of his wild thoughts,

He already possessed sufficiently powerful strength.

Reaching the combat power level of a Marine Vice Admiral!

Even,

Compared to the future Seven Warlords' strength, he was not the slightest bit inferior!

And this, was Lu En's confidence.

It would let him face this stretch of sea without fear, as a coming upheaval was about to begin.

It would also let him have no need to dread…

The countless factional entanglements spun off within Marine Headquarters.

Strength is everything!

Only strength powerful enough could let Lu En ignore all of this.

The him of now was no longer the third-generation official who strutted about on the illustrious fame of the hero Captain Kapu.

He could rely on his own powerful strength.

To carve out a sky of his own with overwhelming force…

To overawe the entire sea all by himself!

While Lu En was brimming with all manner of feelings.

Abruptly—

Clip-clop, clip-clop—

A burst of crisp footsteps came from outside the Mishi Sect's door.

A moment later,

The great door was pushed open.

Master Zefa's figure appeared within Lu En's gaze.

The instant he saw Master Zefa,

Lu En could sense it.

At this moment Master Zefa's mood seemed not at all good, appearing somewhat gloomy and sullen.

Just from Master Zefa's face alone, one could tell his mood was very poor.

Clearly.

What could make Master Zefa appear so sullen was most likely the matter concerning the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Master Zefa."

Lu En swiftly pressed down the many thoughts in his head and spoke up first.

Coming before Lu En,

The sullenness on Master Zefa's face eased just a touch.

Drawing in a deep breath, his expression turned serious and his tone very solemn: "Lu En, my boy, next you need to get ready—come out to sea with me."

"Out to sea? Where to?"

Lu En was taken aback.

Out to sea together with Master Zefa?
