Chapter 607

Barret's pupils contracted.

He was certainly no stranger to the name of Fist Demon Lu En.

In recent days,

anyone sailing these seas would be unable to remain unfamiliar with the name of Fist Demon Lu En.

He was no exception.

"A terrifying monster at only five years old?"

"The strongest genius in Navy history?"

"Also hailed as…"

"The first genius of this era?"

Barret's mind spun wildly.

After a long moment,

he exhaled heavily, his eyes sharp as he locked gazes with Lu En a kilometer away.

He felt a flicker of interest and battle lust.

Fist Demon Lu En…

The first genius of the new era!

And he, Barret, was hailed as the first genius of the old era.

Who was stronger, who was weaker?

Barret felt very much anticipation.

"But now is not yet the time for me to act against him."

"I must give this monster some time to grow."

"Otherwise, it would be too boring."

"Only when he reaches the peak period of his strength will be the moment I act against him."

"At that time…"

"I hope he can bring me some surprise."

Barret grinned savagely, his heart filled with longing.

He had few hobbies.

Becoming the strongest on the seas was precisely one of his goals.

In the past,

he could still chase after Luo Jie as his target.

But after Luo Jie was executed and died,

his targets for pursuit became few.

At that moment,

he made up his mind.

To wipe out every strong fighter on these seas.

Only then could he prove he was stronger than Luo Jie!

And now,

after seeing Lu En, Barret's heart suddenly gained a sliver of motivation.

He longed impatiently.

The day Lu En grows stronger!

When that time comes…

He could strike!

"The first genius of the new era?"

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

"As a remnant of the old era, I am very much anticipation for the moment I face you."

Barret thought eagerly.

He knew Lu En was extremely strong.

After all,

to be hailed as the Navy's strongest genius in history!

Just this alone was enough to show how terrifying Lu En's strength was.

But now was not yet the best time for him to act.

Barret felt.

Only after a few years…

would be the optimal time for him to clash with the other!

"No wonder…"

"No wonder he possessed just now that terrifying Conqueror's Haki."

"So you're the legendary Fist Demon!"

Barret's emotions were deeply stirred.

Now,

after Lu En's identity had been revealed,

his interest in Lu En had become far stronger than his interest in Crocodile!

At least,

Barret could not feel any pressure from Crocodile.

But, he had to admit.

Lu En, merely five years old, had already been able to impose a certain degree of pressure on Barret!

Merely this alone, was something Crocodile could not possess.

In comparison,

what Barret looked forward to even more was...

Lu En after his strength had grown tremendously.

As for Crocodile?

Suddenly, his standing in Barret's eyes had dropped several tiers.

At this moment, his desire to defeat Crocodile had also grown less intense and less obsessive.

Now that things had come to this,

Crocodile had become an irrelevant object, discarded without hesitation by Barret.

After finding a more suitable target,

he naturally no longer needed to challenge Crocodile.

"Fist Demon Lu En..."

"I'm waiting for you!"

He gazed deeply in Lu En's direction, thinking silently to himself.

Meanwhile,

while Crocodile and Barret were speaking,

over a thousand meters away,

it was seen that

Lu En had already begun to slowly take steps, advancing step by step toward the location where Crocodile and Barret stood.

Since he had now been discovered...

then,

it was time...

to face off directly against these two top pirates of the Grand Line!
