Chapter 467

Kong spoke slowly.

"As for this matter, I won't interfere further."

"Leave it to Kizaru and Tsuru—they'll both be very skilled at it."

Captain Kapu waved his hand and slipped away first.

He quickly left the Admiral's office, preparing to head to Training Ground One.

Seeing Captain Kapu's departure,

Kong sighed helplessly.

But he did not stop him.

He knew.

Captain Kapu's personality was too blunt—he truly wasn't suited to carry out the Seven Warlords of the Sea plan.

If Captain Kapu were assigned to recruit the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

It would probably…

Every pirate qualified to become a Seven Warlord of the Sea would end up being beaten to death by Captain Kapu!

Next,

Kong spoke further with Kizaru and Tsuru.

Afterwards,

They hastily ended the conversation.

Looking up,

The time was nearly nine o'clock.

"Let's go—to Training Ground One."

"Let's see how these cadets…."

"How strong they really are."

Immediately, Kong and the two others set off together toward Training Ground One.

At this moment,

Including Lu En, Smoker, Tina, and others, they did not know.

That their upcoming clash with Master Zefa…

Without a sound,

Had already drawn the attention of the entire Marine high command.

One after another, Marine high commanders arrived in force!

Gathering at Training Ground One.

This battle was truly under intense scrutiny!

Marine Headquarters.

Training Ground One.

9:00 a. m.

The training ground was extremely vast and spacious, serving as the exclusive training site established by Master Zefa.

The area was expansive,

With forests of green trees surrounding all sides.

Birds sang and flowers bloomed.

Occasionally, the pleasant chirping of birds could be heard.

At this moment,

In this vast training ground, seventy-one people had gathered.

Including Lu En, all had arrived and waited in silence.

"Do you think Master Zefa had us arrive precisely at nine for what reason?"

"Didn't the graduation trial already end? Are we going to resume our daily boring training?"

"It shouldn't be for training, right? Master Zefa summoned us so solemnly—it couldn't just be for training."

"You guys don't know there's more to this."

"Did you hear some insider rumor?"

"…."

Cadets whispered among themselves, exchanging low remarks.

A small number had already learned what was about to happen.

Most cadets, however, remained utterly confused.

Among them,

Lu En was one of the informed.

"It's nine o'clock."

He slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering with anticipation.

"Do you have confidence?"

Tina quietly approached Lu En's side and asked in a hushed voice.

"Confidence? You don't really think anyone here can defeat Master Zefa, do you? After all, Master Zefa is a Marine Admiral."

"Even I…"

"Have no confidence I can defeat Master Zefa."

Lu En shook his head and chuckled.

He cast a strange glance at Tina.

This girl…

Has that much confidence in herself?

"If even you can't do it, then it's hopeless for everyone else."

Tina shook her head.

In the entire training camp, Lu En's strength is universally recognized as the strongest!

Even Smoker can't come close.

Even Lu En has no confidence he can defeat Master Zefa.

As for the other trainees, it's even more out of the question.

"Just do your best."

"Don't overthink it—this is a Marine Fleet Admiral."

"Across this entire sea…"

"Marine Fleet Admirals are the pinnacle of combat power!"

Lu En said.

"That's true."

Tina fell silent.

Lu En's peripheral vision swept across and spotted a handful of trainees already tensing up.

Clearly,

this batch of trainees knew what they were about to face.

It was fighting Master Zefa!

This, of course, placed immense pressure on them.

Master Zefa is a Marine Fleet Admiral!

How terrifying is the combat power of a Marine Fleet Admiral?

Self-evident.

On-site,

only Lu En and those trainees unaware of the truth could remain utterly calm.
