Chapter 369

Nearly six to seven meters tall!

Like a miniature giant.

It brought overwhelming pressure.

"This face…"

"It reminds me of an incredible being."

Lu En's eyes flashed.

This miniature giant, nearly six to seven meters tall, had a white beard hanging from its mouth.

It was thin, and the curve of the white beard was deeply bent.

He also had a strand of snot hanging from his nose, his eyes vacant, like a fool.

In his hands, he gripped a weapon resembling a guan dao.

His body was obese,

his appearance ugly.

His legs were thin, disproportionate to his bulky frame.

Long hair hung down to his thighs.

Seeing this, Lu En's eyes subtly narrowed.

"Such a unique face and appearance…"

"Plus his size."

"If I'm not mistaken…"

"This guy…"

"He's probably White Hu Zi II, Edward Weebul."

"The powerful being who later single-handedly slaughtered an entire class of Marine recruits and severed Master Zefa's arm!"

He paused,

and Lu En's gaze grew deeper, more playful.

"I didn't expect…"

"That at this point in time, we'd so coincidentally run into him."

White Hu Zi II, named Edward Weebul!

At this stage,

Lu En deduced…

Weebul was probably around twenty years old.

He had not yet reached his peak period of power,

clearly not yet at the strength level where he would sever Zefa's arm.

Weebul's slaughter of Zefa happened five or six years later; nearly all recruits of that Marine training class perished, leaving only two survivors.

Zefa himself was gravely wounded in that battle, his arm severed.

From then on, he could only use a sea stone arm personally developed by Dr. Vegapunk.

After the near-total annihilation of the training class and the loss of his arm, Zefa's personality changed drastically, becoming extremely gloomy and murderous.

Eventually—

Weebul was invited to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

From then on,

Zefa completely defected from the Marines, founded the New Navy, and ruthlessly hunted pirates in the New World.

Meanwhile,

Zefa's newly founded New Navy became a target for the Marines to eradicate.

Just because…

The New Navy's ideology was to completely exterminate all pirates in this sea, even at the cost of destroying islands of immense influence over the ocean, triggering tectonic shifts to entirely block pirates from entering the New World.

This ideology severely violated the interests of the World Government.

Anyone who touched the World Government's interests naturally faced furious retaliation and encirclement.

Above,

is the series of events triggered by White Hu Zi II.

Of course.

The current White Hu Zi II still lacks the power to overthrow Zefa.

This was also unexpected by Lu En.

Such a coincidence…

Today, he had stumbled upon White Hu Zi II, Weebul, right in the first half of the Grand Line.

"This guy and Master Zefa will have a massive grudge in the future."

Lu En's eyes narrowed slightly.

He continued observing the massive pirate ship.

Besides Weebul, he spotted roughly a hundred pirates scattered about, all clearly following Weebul as his subordinates or lackeys.

Among this group of pirates, one figure stood out as especially noble.

It was a middle-aged old woman…

Very short,

only a little over one meter tall,

His face was covered in wrinkles,

extremely ugly.

"She is…"

"Weibull's mother, Miss Buckin?"

Lu En's eyes flashed.

Weibull had once suffered a head injury, so his intelligence was only around that of a child of a few years old — a typical simpleton, lacking the ability to think independently on his own.

Yet Weibull, with only the intellect of a few years old, possessed extremely powerful combat strength, his destructive power in no way inferior to the great pirates of this sea who carried bounties of several hundred million Berries.

In that case—

His mother, Miss Buckin, would naturally harbor different little schemes regarding Weibull, wanting to control him, so as to act tyrannically over this sea.

As for whether this person was Weibull's biological mother?

No one could know.

As for whether Weibull was actually Whitebeard's biological son?

That too was an unsolved mystery.

However…

No one could deny it either.

Weibull, this simpleton, truly did possess extraordinary combat strength and tremendous potential; even though he had not yet grown to the peak period of his strength, he still could not be underestimated.

After all.

This was a top-tier powerhouse who, in five or six years, could single-handedly cut down Master Zefa, this Admiral of the Marines.

Just as Lu En was observing—

all around,

the trainees standing beside him, one after another, had also detected, several kilometers out to sea, that enormous pirate ship sailing upon the ocean.

A skull flag hung high, fluttering in the wind.

Revealing the identity of this group of pirates!

In an instant, the atmosphere grew somewhat noisy.

"It's pirates!"

"Three days out to sea, and we've finally run into a pirate crew."

"Should we go inform Teacher Zefa?"
