Chapter 755: Test! Clash of Auras! Confronting an Old-Era Stronghold! [Request Self-Subscription]

As a great pirate from the old era, Nageli's strength and insight were naturally far beyond ordinary people's comprehension.

Even though he was now elderly and his strength had plummeted from its peak period.

But it could not be denied that…

His decades of seafaring knowledge, experience, and wisdom had become the greatest treasure of his life.

Allowing him to effortlessly recognize the five-year-old boy before him…

The boy was no ordinary person!

At least.

Nageli had sailed the seas for so many years.

He had never seen before.

A boy so young, yet who brought him such terrifying pressure.

It was unheard of in the past!

"This is a terrifying boy!"

"Strong!"

"Extremely strong!"

Nageli's eyes narrowed.

He could clearly feel…

The boy's surroundings were wrapped in a surging, turbulent aura of pressure…

Extremely terrifying!

Vast,

Chilling.

Even Nageli felt waves of heart-pounding unease.

A vast pressure aura slowly emanated from Lu En's body at a distance, sweeping toward him.

Under this immense aura, Nageli's previously lazy expression gradually turned serious and solemn; his half-closed, cloudy eyes fully opened.

He began to take the sudden appearance of Lu En seriously.

From him, too, streamed forth strands of majestic, overwhelming aura.

This aura began as extremely faint, like a thin stream.

But in an instant…

This aura became utterly terrifying.

Boom—

A colossal, overwhelming pressure field erupted violently from Nageli's body, surging wildly toward Lu En's position.

The two terrifying auras interwove,

Creating an immensely fierce collision!

The clash of aura against aura made the surrounding atmosphere unbearably oppressive.

A heart-stopping pressure filled the bodies and minds of Ace, Sabo, and Little Lufei, turning their faces pale and making their breathing nearly choke off.

"Is this the top-tier strength of the old era?"

"Truly terrifying."

"Even aged, his aura remains utterly terrifying."

Lu En silently gazed at Nageli.

Their eyes met,

Sparks flickered between their gazes.

Faintly,

Even Nageli, the reclusive elder who had long renounced the world, felt his long-extinguished blood stir with passion under Lu En's overwhelming aura.

Nageli had not taken anything seriously in far too long.

Since he was defeated by the Pirate King Luo Jie…

He had disbanded his pirate crew.

From then on,

He retired into the mountains.

Coming to the primitive forest behind Windmill Village, he spent his days among wild beasts, no longer involving himself in the affairs of the outside sea, nor engaging in any further battles with the world.

Now,

When Lu En appeared before him, Nageli felt once again the long-absent surge of hot-blooded exhilaration.

This feeling…

Had not touched him in over five years.

As Lu En marveled inwardly,

Nageli likewise marveled at Lu En's strength.

He had seen countless geniuses in his lifetime.

Yet he had never seen any genius like the boy before him.

"This boy looks no older than five."

"Yet he already possesses such immense aura…"

"Clearly, his strength is no weakling's."

"On the contrary, he is extremely strong! Extremely terrifying!"

Nageli never thought he could be wrong about a person.

With his eye for talent,

he could be one hundred percent certain.

The five-year-old boy before him possessed terrifying power!

Even across this entire sea…

those strong enough to reach this level were few and far between.

For such power to appear in a five-year-old boy left Nageli deeply shaken.

Nageli still sat quietly between Ace and Sabo, radiating an endless aura, like a deep well, giving off an unfathomable sense of mystery.

The aura emanating from his body grew increasingly vast and surging…

The pressure he emitted resembled waves of dark purple luminescence, accentuating his aged, short, and slender frame with profound mystery, every part of him exuding the aura and might of a supreme warrior.

"Such a genius…"

"Even in the glorious eras of the past, I've never heard of one."

"Even Luo Jie, in his youth, likely paled in comparison to this boy before us."

"At only five years old, he already possesses terrifying combat power at the very peak of the sea—truly an extraordinary being!"

In a short span of time, Nageli's mind raced wildly, his heart filled with awe.

The moment he saw Lu En,

his entire worldview was completely overhauled.

From this moment on,

he truly understood.

What real genius on this sea truly meant!

This five-year-old boy before him,

was it!

This, was the true child of heaven!

The sea's most terrifying prodigy!

"Though he shows no outward sign…"

"Yet when he sits there, he gives off a stability as unshakable as Mount Taishan."

"His entire body is like an endless abyss—completely beyond comprehension in terms of true strength."

Lu En carefully observed Nageli, his mind spinning rapidly.

Even from Doflamingo,

he had never felt such intense pressure.

This old-era sea king, Nageli, likely possessed strength far beyond his imagination.

But this, too, was understandable.

After all,

Nageli was a man who had once fought the Pirate King Luo Jie.

Just this one fact alone was enough to prove Nageli's immense power.

Lu En could judge accurately.

The man's strength was certainly superior to Doflamingo's!

This, without doubt.

"Such a strong warrior…"

"Fighting him would be far more interesting."

Lu En's eyes narrowed slightly, his interest deepening.

Gradually,

the auras erupted by both he and Nageli began to shatter.

Puff!

The two auras exploded on the spot,

turned to nothing,

vanished into thin air.

The invisible clash had now reached its conclusion.

The collision of aura against aura was merely mutual probing.

It didn't even count as warming up.

Yet, from the aura a person emitted, one could roughly judge their level of strength.

Clearly,

at this moment,

both Lu En and Nageli had gained a preliminary understanding of each other's strength.

The atmosphere fell silent.
