Chapter 501: Huang Yuan: What

Meanwhile.

The news reached the ears of Akainu, Huang Yuan, and Aokiji in succession.

"Hey hey hey…"

"Is this real?"

"A Marine Headquarters Major General?"

"Even back when I was young, it took me a full three years just to barely become a Marine Headquarters Major General."

Huang Yuan's sly face was filled with a strange expression.

Even someone as outstanding as he…

He joined the Marine training camp with the Gura Gura no Mi, yet after graduation, the official appointment he received was merely as a Marine Headquarters Colonel.

Now,

what had he just heard?

Lu En, merely five years old, had been appointed Marine Headquarters Major General right after graduating from the training camp?

"Could this monster Lu En have gotten his position through backdoor connections?"

Huang Yuan thought with a strange mood.

A five-year-old Marine Headquarters Major General…

This had shattered the all-time record of the Marine Corps!

Huang Yuan could foresee it.

From now on, no one would ever break this terrifying record of a five-year-old Major General.

After all,

a five-year-old Marine Headquarters Major General was simply too astonishing!

He couldn't imagine.

What kind of legendary genius could possibly break this record of a five-year-old Major General?

Impossible!

"For thousands of years to come, no one will ever break this record."

"That kid Lu En has set a record never seen before in history!"

Huang Yuan sighed deeply.

"Backdoor connections?"

Aokiji also couldn't help but think of this possibility.

Through the prestigious status of Captain Kapu's grandson…

But then he reconsidered.

Aokiji recalled.

Lu En's astonishing feat not long ago—capturing Bai Huzi II all by himself.

He understood.

"I nearly forgot—though young, Lu En has already captured countless notorious pirates across the seas, earning the Marine Corps remarkable achievements."

"With this kid's immense combat power, plus the remarkable achievements from capturing so many pirates, being appointed Marine Headquarters Major General makes perfect sense."

Aokiji realized.

But regardless,

a five-year-old Marine Headquarters Major General still left him marveling.

"Unprecedented!"

"Looking back across the Marine Corps' centuries of history—even a thousand years into the future…"
