Chapter 50

All along, he had placed an unprecedented, enormous expectation on Lu En!

Therefore.

He would never allow anyone to try to lead Lu En astray!

For a moment,

the vast room was filled with an aura of murderous intent.

Utterly oppressive!

As if a storm were about to descend.

As if a battle were about to erupt at the slightest spark!

Seeing Long fall silent,

Captain Kapu let out a cold laugh and continued, "Four years ago, you came to this old man carrying an infant in swaddling clothes, asking me to help you look after your son."

"The you of that time — how could you possibly have imagined this day?"

"You most likely never expected either…"

"Your son Lu En, my grandson, is a once-in-a-century, peerless genius! A monster who awakened the Color of the Supreme King at the mere age of three!"

"And what's more…"

"Let me tell you, that boy Lu En's innate talent is far, far beyond anything you could imagine."

"Can you believe it? That boy Lu En, relying entirely on his own groping, with no outside aid of any kind, took only a single month."

"By himself alone, he fully mastered the Color of the Supreme King Haki."

When the words fell.

Long was deeply moved, and could not help but draw in a sharp breath of cold air.

He had originally assumed,

that his son's talent was already strong enough.

Little did he expect.

Hearing Captain Kapu's words, he suddenly came to a realization.

The truth was…

his son Lu En was far, far more terrifying than he had imagined!

"Relying on himself, mastering the Color of the Supreme King in just one month!"

"Such astonishing talent is truly beyond imagination."

Long could not help but gasp in wonder, again and again.

At this moment,

his desire for Lu En grew even stronger.

He wished he could pull Lu En into the Revolutionary Army's ranks right away.

If it were not for Captain Kapu watching him like a hawk at his side, Long would very likely have immediately activated his Devil Fruit ability and taken Lu En away on the spot.

It could only be said.

Lu En's talent was simply too astonishing!

So much so that even Long, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, could not help but reveal an unprecedented stirring of the heart.

Now,

the Revolutionary Army, which had only just reached the initial period stage…

was precisely in need of a peerless genius like Lu En!

If they could obtain Lu En, the future of the Revolutionary Army would be dazzlingly bright!

"This old man knew all along you scoundrel harbored ill intentions."

"However, this old man advises you to give up that notion while you still can."

"Luenbu Society won't go with you — he's going to follow this old man back to Marine Headquarters."

Captain Kapu snorted once more, his words sharp and utterly merciless.

He had known it all along.

His son Long was no easy mark.

But he had never expected…

that the other would be so brazen as to set his sights on that boy Lu En!

Captain Kapu would never allow such a thing to happen.

"What good is following you to be a Revolutionary Army? A bunch of rats scurrying in the gutters, hiding in the shadows day in, day out — despised by practically everyone."

"By contrast…"

"Following this old man to Marine Headquarters would be an entirely different story."

Captain Kapu continued.

Hearing this,

Long was, for the moment, at a loss for words.

Indeed!

The Revolutionary Army, currently in the initial stage, was indeed like rats in a filthy ditch, unable to see the light of day.

But if he were asked to give up a peerless genius like Lu En, Long would still feel deep anguish and unwillingness.

This was a child who had awakened the Color of the Supreme King at three…

a monster who, groping on his own, had mastered the Color of the Supreme King in just one month!

Give up just like that?

You have to understand.

A once-in-a-century genius like this is virtually unheard of!

Across the entire sea, you couldn't find a second example.

Dragon was deeply unwilling.

But, under Captain Kapu's pressure, he could only choose silence.

After all.

He was no match for Captain Kapu.

No matter how strong he was…

Even though,

His strength could already be said to stand at the very pinnacle of the sea.

Yet compared to the Marine hero Kapu before him, there still remained a certain gap.

This point was beyond doubt.

The atmosphere in the spacious house felt especially oppressive.

Kapu said nothing more.

Dragon remained silent.

The dead stillness…

Suddenly, it was broken by Lu En stepping forward on his own initiative.

Holding the newborn baby in the swaddling clothes in his arms, he gazed at the father and son before him who had nearly come to blows, his eyes glimmering, and slowly spoke the thought in his heart.

"I want to become a Marine."
