Chapter 675

"What is it?"

Smog looked at Lilies as she stepped into the office and asked.

"Captain Smog, someone from your past has come to see you."

Lilies said.

"Past? What past? I didn't know anyone was coming."

Smog was taken aback.

He had been in Rogue Town for about a fortnight.

From the initial arrival,

to now gradually adapting to this duty post.

Smog had strong adaptability.

In just a fortnight, he had largely adapted to everything here.

And he had brought the entire Navy branch under tight control.

Under his orders,

no one in the Navy branch dared to defy him.

After all,

as a Logia user, his strength was unquestionable.

And whether Navy or pirate, all shared one thing in common:

that was…

Reverence for the strong!

As a Logia user, Smog naturally earned the recognition and admiration of these Navy personnel.

Thus,

it was not difficult for him to control this Navy branch.

But after so much time passed, he had not met a single acquaintance.

Now,

suddenly being told that a former acquaintance had come to visit.

103 Naturally, this caught Smog completely off guard, utterly unexpected.

"What's his name?"

Smog thought for a moment, then asked again.

"His name is…"

"Lu En!"

Lilies took a deep breath and gave the honest answer.

"Lu En?!"

Instantly, Smog's pupils shrank slightly, his expression shifting subtly.

Lu En?

That guy actually came to Rogue Town?

What's going on?

Isn't that guy at Marine Headquarters?

Why did he travel all the way to Rogue Town?

Why?

Could he have come all this way just to catch up with me?

Smog shook his head.

He didn't believe it.

He didn't have that much influence.

For Quan Mo Lu En, the Navy's strongest genius in history, to travel thousands of miles to Rogue Town in the East Sea—just to catch up with him?

"I almost forgot."

"The East Sea is that guy's hometown."

"If that's the case, he probably returned home and just happened to stop by Rogue Town."

Smog slapped his forehead, suddenly understanding.

Immediately,

he rose from his chair and hurriedly told Lilies: "Come on, don't let him wait."

A moment later,

Smog walked from his office into the lobby.

At the same time,

Lu En, quietly waiting in the lobby, sensed movement and turned his gaze—there, he saw Smog after many days apart.

"Long time no see."

Seeing Smog walking toward him, Lu En couldn't help but smile with a touch of nostalgia.

"Yeah."

Smog felt deeply moved.

After exchanging a few pleasantries,

Smog asked: "Why did you come from Marine Headquarters to the East Sea's Rogue Town?"

"I just completed a mission and was planning to return home to visit, but happened to pass through Luo Ge Town; knowing you're stationed here, I came to see how you're doing."

Lu En smiled.

"What mission did you carry out? Would you mind telling me?"

Smoker led Lu En to his office.

Just as I expected!

Just as he had suspected.

He didn't believe it for a moment.

With his old face, he thought he could make Lu En travel all the way from the Yuhai Army headquarters just to pay a visit.

That was clearly unrealistic!

It was definitely about the mission!

Or perhaps...

... he was returning home.

Under Smoker's guidance.

Amid countless stares of admiration and awe, Lu En arrived at Smoker's office.

The air was thick with a pungent smell of smoke...

"No such thing as convenient or not."

"I can tell you, it doesn't matter."

"The World Government's proposal regarding the Seven Warlords of the Sea—I assume you're already familiar with it."

Lu En spoke plainly.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

Smoker's eyes narrowed.

As a man from the Yuhai Army headquarters, he knew the proposal for the Seven Warlords of the Sea had been issued directly by the World Government—even the Yuhai Army Commander Kong could not defy or resist it.

At the same time,

he also knew part of the Seven Warlords proposal.

The main point was...

To gather seven top pirate lords of the Grand Sea to form a powerful third force, to counter and curb the growth of pirates.

To establish a cooperative relationship between the seven top pirate lords and the Yuhai Army.
