Chapter 756

Strange!

The entire venue fell utterly silent.

Even Ace, Sabo, and Little Lufei—the three brothers—sensed the strange atmosphere.

Their young faces turned pale; they dared not speak, nor dare to disturb this eerie silence.

"Young friend, you truly are extraordinary!"

"At such a young age..."

"You've already attained such astonishingly powerful strength."

"In the past few hundred years across this sea, such a prodigy as you has never been seen! Old man I've roamed these seas for decades, yet I've never laid eyes on a genius as terrifying as you!"

Nagari was the first to speak, breaking the odd silence.

His eyelids lowered slightly, his eyes filled with admiration and reverence as he gazed at Lu En.

"Old sir, your strength is no slouch either."

"To still retain such formidable combat power at such an advanced age—across the entire sea, such people are few and far between."

Lu En smiled and replied.

Upon hearing this,

Nagari burst into laughter.

He asked: "May I ask your name, young friend?"

"Lu En."

Lu En gave his true name.

"Old man's name is Nagari. To meet a genius of your caliber today is truly a delightful thing."

Until now, many years had passed since Nagari last encountered a strong enough warrior to regard with serious eyes.

And looking at the Lu En before him,

Was the only one!

And the strongest warrior he had encountered since going into seclusion...

The most powerful warrior!

The most terrifying prodigy!

"Old Master Nagari, thank you for taking care of my three foolish younger brothers these past days—I am deeply grateful."

Lu En said with a smile.

"No need to thank me."

"Old man is already half-dead, buried up to his ankles in his coffin. Spending my remaining years teaching these three brats has become one of life's great joys."

"Come to think of it, I should thank these three brats—they've made my life far from dull."

Nagari laughed heartily.

"Big brother, this is my master—the same one Ace and Sabo have!"

Seeing the atmosphere slightly ease, Little Lufei dared to introduce Lu En.

"I know."

Lu En nodded with a smile.

He certainly knew Nagari was their master!

The moment he sensed the man with his Observation Haki,

He had already known this result.

Across the entire Windmill Village, even throughout the entire Goa Kingdom, those strong enough to reach this level are few and far between.

Aside from Captain Kapu...

The Nagari before him was the strongest warrior Lu En had encountered here.

"Master, this is my and Little Lufei's big brother."

At this moment, Ace, standing beside Nagari, quickly added an introduction.

"Your big brother?"

Nagari murmured in wonder.

He gazed deeply at Lu En, then at Little Lufei and Ace beside him, his eyes gleaming with sharp insight, a flash of wisdom cutting through their clouded depths.

For a moment, he seemed to have uncovered some hidden truth.

After a long pause,

Nagari spoke to Ace beside him, his voice filled with awe: "Your big brother is truly an extraordinary being!"

Upon hearing this,

Ace felt it deeply.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying a monster his big brother Lu En truly was!

So,

Nagari's words received Ace's full, wholehearted agreement.

"Yes..."

"My big brother is the goal I've chased my whole life."

"Yet he remains forever out of reach."

Ace's eyes grew distant, a sense of defeat stirring within him.

"To catch up to him?"

"That's no simple thing."

"It could even be said that…"

"As hard as climbing to heaven!"

"Harder than climbing to heaven!"

Nageli sighed.

Es's innate talent was exceptional, and he knew this well.

As the master of the three brothers, he had a certain understanding of their innate talents.

In short.

All three were once-in-ten-thousand geniuses!

Each of the three brothers possessed the potential to become a top-tier powerhouse.

Precisely because of this,

Nageli felt deep admiration.

He had stumbled upon three disciples with such extraordinary innate talent all at once, and he felt immensely fortunate.

Among them,

so far,

Es had demonstrated the highest talent.

Next came Little Lufei,

and last was Sabo.

Yet even so,

after hearing Es's bold words just now, Nageli still did not believe Es could surpass the five-year-old boy before him.

Even though Es possessed astonishing innate talent, compared to the boy before him, Es was vastly inferior.

The two were nearly incomparable!

Nageli was certain.

For Es to surpass Lu En…

far off and indefinite!

Impossible!

Unless the other stagnates in the future.

Otherwise,
