Chapter 474

On the other side,

When Kong, the Navy Admiral, saw Lu En slowly walking out from the crowd and heading toward Master Zefa's position, his eyelid twitched and his expression turned sharp.

"It's starting."

"That brat Lu En isn't ordinary."

"If Master Zefa tries to handle Lu En, this monster, with tactics meant for ordinary trainees, I guarantee he'll suffer a heavy defeat."

Even though Kong had never witnessed Lu En's combat strength firsthand,

he still firmly believed it.

Lu En, who captured a single Grand Line pirate worth hundreds of millions in bounties alone, is no weakling!

Even across the entire sea…

he is one of the strongest top-tier warriors.

A terrifying monster among the greatest!

"Judging by appearance…"

"Master Zefa will probably have to get serious."

"If he doesn't, he might not be Lu En's match."

Sengoku analyzed calmly.

If Master Zefa doesn't use Two-Color Haki…

Who would be stronger?

It's truly hard to tell.

Because…

Lu En is no pushover.

He is a complete and utter monster!

Even Whitebeard Second Division Commander, a Grand Line pirate of that caliber, was defeated and captured by Lu En alone.

Think about it.

How strong is Lu En really?

Even if Master Zefa is a Marine Admiral, a single misstep could cost him dearly!

"Bai Huzi Er Shi is a monster said to possess the same terrifying power as the young Bai Huzi. And Lu En captured him alone."

"I imagine…"

"Lu En's strength will give us a tremendous surprise."

Hei narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on the training ground with full of solemnity.

"How could my grandson possibly be ordinary?"

"Just watch!"

"My grandson will give you all a surprise!"

"That old bastard Master Zefa, if he doesn't get serious, he's going to be humiliated by my grandson."

Beside them, Captain Kapu burst into loud laughter.

At this moment,

a group of top Marine elites—including Akainu, Aokiji, and Huang Yuan—fixed their expectant gazes on Lu En and Master Zefa on the training ground.

This battle had been long awaited by them!

One is the current Marine Admiral.

The other is the most extraordinary genius in Marine history!

Their clash…

will surely be spectacular.

Meanwhile,

Smoker, Tina, and the other trainees all stared at Lu En's back, daring not to speak and break the silence.

"This is likely the most…"

"spectacular teacher-student duel since the academy's founding!"

"And undoubtedly the most intense teacher-student duel ever!"

"Teacher Master Zefa might truly need to unleash his full power just to overpower that monster Lu En."

"Not just seriousness—he must give everything he has!"

The trainees whispered among themselves.

At this moment,

Tina softly added: "Have any of you considered the possibility that even if Teacher Master Zefa unleashes his full power, he still might not be able to fully overpower Lu En?"

As soon as she spoke,

the entire crowd fell silent.

After a long pause,

Gulp!

The trainees involuntarily swallowed hard, staring at Lu En's back with horror.

"That can't be possible, right?"

"That's Teacher Master Zefa! One of the strongest warriors on the sea!"

"You all should have Shenyouti Society how strong Teacher Master Zefa is."

"I think, no matter how strong Lu En is, he probably still can't truly match Teacher Master Zefa."

"That's correct."

Although the students outright rejected Tina's remarks.

But Tina's words just now had taken root in their minds like a nightmare, filling their entire heads.

In the battlefield,

Lu En faced Master Zefa directly.

Master Zefa asked: "Are you ready?"

He stared intently at Lu En.

He did not dare to underestimate,

nor did he dare to be careless.

He summoned his full concentration.

Completely different from how he had dealt with Smoker, Tina, and the other students just now.

Because…

He knew too well.

The Lu En before him was an incredibly powerful presence!

When Lu En captured Bai Huzi II, he had been an observer.

As a Navy Admiral, he had seen more, and deeper, than Smoker and the other students.

Smoker and the other students only knew Lu En was strong.

But Master Zefa, through the battle in which Bai Huzi II was captured, saw the true essence of Lu En's power!

Therefore,

He understood better than any of the students.

Lu En's strength!

Taking all this into account,

Even though Lu En was only five years old, Master Zefa did not dare to let his guard down for a moment.

Even though he was a Navy Admiral, one of the strongest fighters on this sea.

He still did not dare to underestimate Lu En.

Their gazes met…

Lu En stood ready, fully focused, locking eyes with Master Zefa.
