Chapter 575

Anyway,

They cannot emulate Lu En's super-intense training.

"General Lu En is simply too hardworking."

"With unprecedented, world-shattering talent and effort far exceeding ordinary people, it's only natural for such a genius to become this strong."

"In comparison, we lack sufficient talent and aren't diligent enough—deservedly, we'll remain this weak our whole lives."

"General Lu En, this peerless genius of relentless effort, is truly despair-inducing."

"If we can't match his talent, and can't even match his effort, what can we do?"

"General Lu En is a towering mountain blocking the path of every genius monster in this sea!"

"…."

Voices buzzed everywhere.

Whooshing!

The sea wind stirred the waves,

A pleasant sound lingered around Lu En's ears.

He slightly narrowed his eyes, gazing at this boundless, endless stretch of ocean.

"After a day of sailing…"

"The warship has almost certainly left the waters around Devil's Town entirely."

"And the waters we're in now are likely the strait region known as the Blue Sea."

"The Blue Sea borders Alabasta to the left and the Magic Triangle to the right."

"Here, the two paths diverge."

Lu En pondered thoughtfully.

Alabasta lies near the Reverse Mountain on the Grand Line.

As for the Magic Triangle?

It lies much closer to the Shabondy Archipelago, extremely distant from Reverse Mountain.

Currently,

the warship is positioned at the center between Alabasta and the Magic Triangle.

No matter which direction the warship sails, it will never be a direct route.

"The Magic Triangle is Moonlight Moria's territory."

"Alabasta is Crocodile's territory."

Both of these men are clearly the primary targets Admiral He intends to invite to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea on this voyage.

After yesterday's briefing, Lu En already knew Admiral He's next objective.

She planned to head to the Magic Triangle first and invite Moonlight Moria to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Then,

she would invite Crocodile.

Thus,

since the two locations are not on the same route, it would waste considerable time.

(cjdf) "I have a way to avoid wasting too much time."

Lu En's eyes flashed with insight—he had devised a plan.

Immediately,

He turned and went to find Admiral He, eager to discuss the matter in detail with her.

Moments later.

Lu En successfully found Admiral He.

Upon seeing Lu En, Admiral He asked first: "Are your injuries alright now?"

"Fully healed."

Lu En smiled.

After a full day of rest and recuperation, combined with his resilient physique…

all the wounds inflicted during his battle with Doflamingo had now completely recovered.

In just one day,

Lu En had returned to his peak condition.

"So what brings you to me?"

Admiral He asked bluntly.

"I can't escape your keen eye, Admiral He."

Lu En didn't beat around the bush.

He laid out his thoughts plainly: "The warship is currently in the waters between Alabasta and the Magic Triangle."

"Whether we sail forward or backward, we'll have to cover unnecessary distance."

"Therefore…"

"I propose we split up."

"You go to the Magic Triangle to represent the Navy and invite Moonlight Moria to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"And I will go alone to Alabasta to invite Crocodile."

"What do you think, Admiral He?"

He finished speaking.

He raised an eyebrow and gave Lu En a peculiar look.

Split into two groups?

This kid...

Go alone to Alabasta?

Invite Crocodile to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea alone?

Are you sure?

Wouldn't that be too reckless?

Although Crocodile's bounty is not high—even below one hundred million Berries—his strength is undoubtedly extremely powerful.

After all.

Crocodile was once a pirate who fought Bai Huzi!

Though he lost,

it cannot be denied.

Crocodile's strength is formidable!

Send Lu En alone to face such a great pirate?

Can he manage it?

For a moment, He's mind raced wildly, weighing pros and cons.

She had some understanding of Crocodile.

He was a Logia Devil Fruit user.

A tyrant of the desert!

A user of the Sand-Sand Fruit.

Very strong!

His combat power is likely comparable to Doflamingo's.

But the two have never fought, so the exact comparison remains uncertain.

Currently, conservatively estimated,

Crocodile's strength does not differ greatly from Doflamingo's.

He is also an extremely powerful and dangerous great pirate!

"Are you certain you want to go alone to Alabasta to invite that Sand Crocodile Crocodile?"

"That carries great danger."

"He may not agree to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"At that time, he might launch an attack against you."
