Chapter 648

Even.

The four seas—east, west, south, and north—have virtually no way to reach the Grand Line except by crossing the Calm Belt.

If this mountain were destroyed.

For pirates to reach the Grand Line would become an immense challenge.

You know.

Crossing the Calm Belt is exclusive to the Navy.

Pirates naturally lack this technology.

"If this mountain is destroyed..."

"Wouldn't even the World Government go mad?"

Lu En's eyes narrowed slightly.

If he remembered correctly.

His future teacher, Master Zefa, once had such an idea.

To completely sever the pirates' path towards the New World...

Similar to destroying Reverse Mountain.

Unfortunately,

It was ultimately stopped.

Of course.

Now, Bai Huzi II has been captured by Lu En and imprisoned in the Sixth Layer of Impel Down, the Infinite Hell.

Surely...

Bai Huzi II will never escape from Impel Down in this lifetime.

In this way,

Master Zefa will not lose his arm.

The trainees under his command will not suffer annihilation at the hands of Bai Huzi II.

Thus, Master Zefa's thoughts will never turn to such extremism.

Overall,

Lu En altered Master Zefa's future fate.

Where will the future Master Zefa go?

Even Lu En does not know.

Anyway,

He has done all he could.

As Lu En was lost in thought,

Wuuuuu~

A piercing, shrill cry echoed through the sky.

It came from the nearby sea.

Deafening,

Thunderous.

"This is..."

Lu En suppressed all his thoughts and his gaze grew deep.

Under his gaze,

Splash!

The calm sea suddenly churned, waves rippling wildly outward.

A high ridge suddenly appeared on the sea surface...

As if some colossal object beneath the ocean were rising to the surface.

That was what stirred the calm sea into turmoil.

Waves surged upward,

Ripples spread,

Foam and ripples surged uncontrollably.

Gradually,

Lu En saw clearly what was rising from the seabed.

It was...

A whale!

A whale of unimaginable size!

Merely its head exposed above the water, vast as a towering mountain, exuding overwhelming pressure that stirred dread.

"A whale?"

Lu En's eyes flickered, lost in thought.

Encountering a whale of such immense size at Reverse Mountain did not surprise him.

Or rather,

He had anticipated this.

Even,

He knew the name of this whale as well.

"Whale Laboon?"

Lu En had an answer in his heart.

If he hadn't guessed wrong.

This enormously massive whale was the very Whale Laboon that his silly little brother Little Lufei would encounter in the future.

This was a whale with no small spiritual intelligence.

The other party was waiting for the return of its companion…

As for who its companion was?

It was likewise connected to his silly little brother Little Lufei's future.

"Didn't expect to run into Whale Laboon so coincidentally."

"Looks like…"

"It's about to ram Reverse Mountain?"

Lu En had a guess in his heart.

Whale Laboon had waited many years for its companion's return without success, ramming Reverse Mountain every day had become its habit over the years; even if the ramming cracked its skull and left it bearing a heavy burden of grievous wounds, it had not given up this habit.

Very persistent…

Admirable.

Lu En quietly watched that enormously massive whale.

Not long after.

The whale revealed the upper half of its massive body.

Just the upper half it revealed alone gave Lu En an intense visual impact.

Very massive,

extremely massive.

Probably even larger than several warships combined.

The Navy's largest warship, before this whale, was simply as tiny as a toy.

By visual estimate,

Lu En made a preliminary conservative estimate.

This whale's size…

Was probably no less than four hundred meters in length!

This was a terrifyingly massive figure.

Looking at it,

It was like an incomparably massive island!
