Chapter 596

In addition,

there is Kapi's old comrade, Sengoku, who also possesses the combat power to defeat Barret.

In short,

Barret's strength is indeed formidable, but there are certainly warriors strong enough to defeat him—he simply hasn't gone looking for them.

"If nothing goes wrong,"

"soon…"

"Within half a year, Barret will fully descend into a berserk state, then relentlessly hunt down and kill warriors across this sea, aiming to overthrow them all."

"Ultimately—"

"Digging his own grave."

"Drawing the Navy's high-level attention, triggering a Tumon Order to surround and capture him."

Lu En thought.

He had already foreseen Barret's outcome.

When that time comes…

The Navy might even deploy Kapi and Sengoku, ceiling-tier combatants, to capture Barret.

Just thinking of this, Lu En's heart was full of anticipation.

Perhaps,

at that time, he might even get a chance to join the capture operation!

Even,

lead the operation himself!

"Within half a year…"

"I'll likely come face to face with this monster, Barret."

"So, there's no need to rush into a fight with him."

"There will be many opportunities."

"For now, the priority must be Crocodile."

Lu En had his plans.

If Luo Jie hadn't died,

Barret would never have descended into berserk so quickly.

But unfortunately…

He lost Luo Jie as his target.

To prove himself stronger than Luo Jie, Barret could only turn his attention to the sea's strongest warriors, hunting down Navy officers or pirate captains.

This sea…

will be turned upside down!

And this, of course, will enrage the Navy and the World Government.

The day of this reckoning,

won't be far off.

Lu En had a premonition.

A warrior of Barret's temperament could never remain silent.

The most likely outcome is…

He will choose to end his life in dazzling glory.

"I truly look forward to fighting a monster like him."

"In six months…"

"How strong will I have become?"

Lu En squinted slightly, thinking with keen interest.

Even he couldn't judge how strong he'd be in six months.

But the one thing he was certain of was this:

By then…

he would have no trouble handling Barret!

This confidence stemmed from Lu En's absolute certainty in the speed of his own power growth!

Douglas Barret was quietly regarded as the greatest genius of the old era—a monster!

And Lu En…

was the universally acknowledged greatest genius of the new era!

Even hailed as the most terrifying monster prodigy on the sea!

"The greatest genius of the old era?"

"Versus me, the greatest genius of the new era?"

"Who is stronger?"

"Who will prevail?"

Lu En chuckled, deeply anticipative.

The greatest genius of the old era, and the greatest genius of the new era…

They will inevitably clash!

And that day won't be far off.

Lu En concluded.

Within the next six months!

This battle will surely erupt!

Not long after.

As Lu En's mind raced with wild thoughts.

Finally,

Following Barrett's footsteps, he soon arrived at his destination…

The capital of the Alabasta Kingdom: Alabasta!

After a while,

Suppressing all the thoughts in his head, Lu En gazed far into the distance.

Then,

He clearly saw.

At this moment,

Barrett, alone, forcibly stormed into the Wang Gong of Alabasta.

As if aiming straight for the heart of the enemy, seeking Crocodile by the simplest means.
