Chapter 72: Captain Kapu: Holy shit? Learned it after one look? [Chapter 1]

He closed his eyes slightly…

Following the memory that had just merged into his mind!

Gather all strength into the arm.

Then…

Concentrate the power between the index finger.

Continuously compress the power,

Compress it to the extreme!

Finally—

One finger thrust out!

Shh!

Accompanied by a sharp, piercing sound of air splitting.

Lu En suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with a sharp gleam.

只见,

His index finger aimed at the thirty-centimeter-thick wooden board, slicing through the air with lightning speed, striking the board with brutal force.

In an instant,

Puh!

A faint, soft sound.

The sound echoed around.

The index finger pierced through it as if it were tofu.

Lu En had not unleashed any great force throughout; he merely gathered strength at the tip of his index finger and lightly touched the wooden board.

That was all!

Yet,

That light touch had instantly pierced clean through the thirty-centimeter-thick wooden board, leaving behind a grotesque hole resembling a bullet wound.

A hole the size of an index finger, piercing straight through thirty centimeters, completely perforating the entire board.

A second hole, like a bullet wound…

Appeared before Captain Kapu's eyes.

Slowly withdrawing his index finger, Lu En looked at Captain Kapu and smiled: "I think I've already grasped the secret of Gun Finger, and fully mastered the Six Styles' Gun Finger."

At this moment,

Captain Kapu stood frozen, mouth agape.

He stared wide-eyed at the second bullet-like hole left in the wooden board.

He was stunned.

"What?"

"What's going on?"

"This kid Lu En…"

"Already mastered Gun Finger?!"

"He only watched it once, and already mastered the secret of Gun Finger?!"

"How is that possible?!"

Captain Kapu's heart jolted.

He had assumed,

Even if his grandson Lu En possessed extraordinary talent, fully mastering Gun Finger would require at least half a month of rigorous practice.

But in the end…

He never could have imagined.

In just an instant,

After he himself had demonstrated Gun Finger just once, this kid Lu En immediately imitated it perfectly—and successfully activated Gun Finger!

Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, Captain Kapu would never have believed such an unbelievable phenomenon.

The first time witnessing Gun Finger's execution…

Then,

Less than a few breaths had passed.

The other had already fully mastered this technique!

Tell me,

What kind of astonishing talent is this?!

Even Captain Kapu found it hard to imagine further.

This talent was too astonishing!

Gun Finger of the Six Styles, though not the most difficult to master among the Six Styles,

Had been mastered in an instant.

This still left Captain Kapu utterly incredulous.

"Y-You kid…"

"Didn't you already have prior exposure to the Marine Six Styles?"

Captain Kapu's throat went dry; he stared wide-eyed at Lu En, blurted out without thinking.

Upon hearing this,

Lu En couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Old man, don't you know whether I've ever come into contact with the Navy Six Styles before? You're my guardian!"

At these words,

Captain Kapu finally snapped out of it.

That's right!

He had always been Lu En's guardian.

If Lu En had truly ever come into contact with the Navy Six Styles, then he, as the guardian, could not possibly not know.

Therefore…

At this very moment,

This kid Lu En was truly, genuinely experiencing the Navy Six Styles for the first time!

With only his very first contact with the Navy Six Styles, he had mastered the Six Styles' Finger Pistol in an instant!

"Th-this—!"

"This kind of talent…"

For a moment, Captain Kapu was speechless.

Even he could not think of any words to describe and depict the astonishing, world-shaking talent that Lu En possessed!

Too astonishing!

Too inconceivable!

Even Captain Kapu, who had faced life-and-death crises countless times and could still remain utterly composed, was thoroughly startled by the astonishing talent Lu En had displayed at this very moment.

"Lu En, you kid…"

"You're truly a genius!"

"An absolute prodigy rarely seen in a hundred years!"

After a long while,

Captain Kapu gazed at Lu En with an exceedingly complicated expression, sighing in admiration again and again.

At the very beginning,

He had still planned to use Finger Pistol to fool Lu En, let Lu En train for over half a month, and by the time they reached Marine Headquarters Marineford, he could play the hands-off boss and simply toss Lu En to Master Zefa to teach.

He believed.

With Zefa's talent, he would surely be able to teach Lu En to grow stronger in a better way.

Who would have thought,

Lu En's talent was simply too strong!

So strong that…

He saw through the mysteries of Finger Pistol at a single glance!

Upon first contact he immediately grasped the knack of Finger Pistol, and moreover could execute Finger Pistol with perfect, practiced ease!

All of this was something Captain Kapu had completely failed to anticipate.

At this moment,

Captain Kapu finally realized it deeply.

The astonishing, world-shaking talent possessed by his own grandson Lu En…

Was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

"Are the Navy Six Styles very hard?"

"They seem even simpler than I imagined."

Lu En smiled.

Hearing this,

Captain Kapu was left without a word to say, silently speechless.

This was still the first time he had heard someone say…

That training in the Navy Six Styles was very simple!

The key was,

He still could not refute it.

After all.

The Lu En before his eyes truly, genuinely possessed the qualifications to say such words.

This monster…

Had merely watched it once, and immediately mastered the Six Styles' Finger Pistol!

"You're even more outstanding than that little brat Aokiji!"
