Chapter 666

"And still so young!"

"From ancient times till now, never once has such an example been heard of."

"Even when I followed Captain Luo Jie sailing this great sea, I never heard of an example of someone mastering Conqueror's Haki at just five years old."

"Never!"

"Only this one case!"

Crocus's eyes bulged wide and round, his face filled with a look of horror.

He could hardly dare imagine it.

This little brat...

What on earth kind of monster is he?!

Mastering Conqueror's Haki at five years old!

Looking across the great sea for hundreds of years...

There is only this single example.

"When did the Marines produce a monster of this caliber?"

"Why was nothing ever heard of it before?"

"A monster who mastered Conqueror's Haki at five!"

"Once in a hundred years!"

Crocus exclaimed in wonder again and again.

It took him quite a while before he could forcibly suppress the turmoil within his heart.

He stared blankly at Lu En, who stood on the pirate ship ahead, his eyes filled with emotions such as awe, shock, and admiration.

Having once served as the ship doctor of the Pirate King Luo Jie, he had witnessed many grand scenes and top-tier powerhouses.

For example,

Luo Jie, Bai Huzi, Lei Li, Golden Lion, and the like.

These monsters...

Every single one of them mastered Conqueror's Haki!

Simply put.

Only true monsters of the great sea possess the qualification to master Conqueror's Haki.

Therefore.

The number of people who master Conqueror's Haki is extremely few.

One in a million!

Only one person out of every million possesses the potential of a king!

"This little brat..."

"He is a monster who possesses the potential of a king!"

Crocus took a deep breath.

On the other side,

On the deck of the pirate ship.

Lu En paid no further attention to the dazed and soul-stricken thief Ka Si.

Moreover,

He didn't even know the other's true identity.

It was just a chance encounter...

So he struck out and wiped out this entire pirate crew.

That's all there was to it!

Immediately,

Lu En took out a Den Den Mushi, contacted Marine Headquarters, and had the people at Marine Headquarters dispatch personnel to Reverse Mountain to capture this entire batch of pirates and lock them up in prison.

After doing all this,

He hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Putting away the Den Den Mushi in his hand, Lu En glanced at the dazed Ka Si.

"A merit delivered right to my door?"

"No point turning it down."

"Your luck is just too bad. I was just preparing to return to the East Sea, and you all came from the other four seas heading for the Grand Line. Since we ran into each other, naturally there's no reason to let you escape."

Lu En smiled.

If nothing unexpected happens...

The island closest to Reverse Mountain will soon dispatch personnel to come and capture and lock up all the pirates here.

A preliminary conservative estimate.

This process may take about three days.

Lu En naturally could not afford to spend three days here waiting for the Marine branch to dispatch personnel to come and capture and lock up all these pirates.

A full three days—if he used it for sailing, he might have already smoothly returned to Windmill Village in the East Sea.

Therefore.

He didn't have much time to waste here.

Rather than spend this time here, he might as well set sail over Reverse Mountain and return to Windmill Village in the East Sea.

Wasting extra time on these pirates, in Lu En's view, was not worth it.

So.

After much thought,

he had made up his mind.

His gaze shifted,

and he looked toward the man not far away—the former ship's doctor of the Pirate King's vessel, Kurokas.

At the same time,

Kurokas seemed to sense it and quickly turned his gaze toward him.

"Old man, I've got a favor to ask."

Lu En spoke.

"You want the old man to watch over these pirates?"

Kurokas already seemed to know what Lu En was going to say.

"You can't fool me."

"What do you say?"

Lu En chuckled.

"It's not impossible."

"But…"

"The old man doesn't have that kind of strength to intimidate these pirates. Once they wake up, I might be in trouble."

"At that point, my life might not even be safe."

"It's not that I don't want to help—I simply can't."

Kurokas helplessly spread his hands.

His strength was not weak.

But he could only protect himself in this sea.

Moreover,

his strength lay in medicine, not combat ability.

He joined the Pirate King Luo Jie's ship only because Luo Jie was gravely ill—not because he was originally chosen by Luo Jie to join.

Overall,

leaving Kurokas in charge of these pirates was indeed risky.

The old man was strong, but he absolutely could not suppress these pirates.

"That's really troublesome."

Lu En scratched his head.
