Chapter 566

The Seven Warlords of the Sea were preliminarily established, welcoming their first official member.

The young master of the Donquixote Family, Trafalgar D. Water Law!

He was the first member to be invited to join the Seven Warlords.

"You made a very wise choice."

Lu En smiled at Trafalgar D. Water Law.

Since Trafalgar D. Water Law agreed to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, his mission to Devil's Town was now complete.

Fighting Trafalgar D. Water Law to his full extent gave him great gains.

He prepared to leave Devil's Town.

The mission was accomplished,

so there was no need to linger further.

Just as Lu En turned to leave, the system's alert sounded without warning.

【Total gains from this battle: Strength +0.003, Speed +0.002, Stamina +0.003, Mental Power +0.005, Armament Haki Technique +0.04, Observation Haki Technique +0.05, Marine Six Powers Technique +0.06, Life Return Technique +0.05!】

【After 100-fold cultivation effect amplification…】

【Host gains: Strength +0.3, Speed +0.2, Stamina +0.3, Mental Power +0.5, Armament Haki Technique +4, Observation Haki Technique +5, Marine Six Powers Technique +6, Life Return Technique +5!】

As the system's voice faded,

in an instant,

Boom—

a roar echoed within Lu En's body.

A warm current suddenly appeared, surging into his five viscera and six bowels, washing through his body, reshaping his meridians, bones, and blood, significantly boosting his strength.

At the same time,

a vast flood of unfamiliar memories surged into his mind.

About…

Armament Haki, Observation Haki, Marine Six Powers, the Six Powers' Secret Art: Life Return—countless experiences flooded his mind.

His mind became a sponge, absorbing these knowledge and experiences endlessly.

In addition,

his body frantically absorbed the power the system had granted him out of thin air.

Soon after,

the system's enlightenment ended.

Lu En's bodily transformation was also completed.

Huh!

He exhaled softly, his eyes glinting with sharp brilliance, filled with quiet reflection, wearing a satisfied smile.

This battle truly brought him great gains.

Not only had he completed the Navy's mission…

but also,

his strength had risen significantly.

A comprehensive enhancement of his strength!

Not only had his physical attributes improved, but his mastery over the two Haki types and the Six Powers had also become far more refined through the system's enlightenment.

"I've grown stronger again!"

He thought.

Immediately,

he unhesitatingly called up his current status panel to check.

"System, display status panel."

【Host: Lu En】

【Strength: 153.3 (+2.1)】

【Speed: 145.8 (+2.3)】

【Stamina: 145.5 (+1.9)】

【Mental Power: 69.7 (+2.4)】

【Ghost Back Completion: 19.39%】

【Current overall cultivation effect boost: 100x!】

Gradually,

after carefully reviewing the status panel, Lu En lowered his gaze.

At this moment,

he prepared to step out of Devil's Town.

Since Trafalgar D. Water Law had agreed to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, his mission in Devil's Town was officially complete—there was no reason to waste more time here.

In addition,

he believed,

the Donquixote Family would not welcome him, their destroyer, at this moment!

"By the way."

"I have a question."

As Lu En turned, he heard Trafalgar D. Water Law's voice.

"What problem?"

Lu En looked toward Doflamingo and asked.

"If just now, I had chosen to refuse joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea, what would you have done?"

"I'm curious..."

Doflamingo put away the Seven Warlords' invitation, gazed deeply at Lu En, his pale face wearing a strange expression.

His figure looked somewhat disheveled, covered in dust and grime, his body riddled with wounds.

But he still possessed the strength to fight.

Even now, his power was far less than one-tenth of his peak period.

Yet, dealing with pirates with bounties over a hundred million, it was still more than enough.

"What would I do?"

Lu En laughed.

After a moment,

he waved his hand, turned, and walked away, leaving only one sentence.

"I would turn and leave without hesitation."

"Then..."

"I would watch quietly as you're captured and sent to Impel Down!"

With those words spoken,

Doflamingo raised an eyebrow, gazing thoughtfully at Lu En's retreating back.

He was puzzled by Lu En's words, but did not press further.

"This kid..."

"Does he really think he still has the strength to defeat and capture me?"

"Don't make me laugh!"

"After fighting me, he's already exhausted, pushed to the limit of his body."

"So he cannot defeat me!"

Doflamingo firmly believed this.

If so,

then Lu En's earlier words were worth pondering.

Unfortunately,

after much thought, he still could not make sense of it, so he simply gave up overanalyzing.
