Chapter 78

Like thunder in one's ears,

Deafening.

The slash erupted with incomparably violent force, brutally cleaving the sea surface into a hideous rift roughly five meters long and no less than several meters deep.

At a glance,

It was as if the entire ocean had been split apart!

It delivered an incomparably powerful visual impact.

Splash splash splash!

The violent force not only severed the sea, but also raised wave after wave of towering surges that slammed wildly in every direction.

Ripples spread,

Waves churned.

The warship dozens of meters away was battered by these successive waves, shaking violently, causing every Marine on board to lose their footing and tumble in a crooked heap against the railings.

The scooped-up seawater

Came pouring down madly from high above.

Like an extremely brief downpour.

Soybean-sized droplets splashed down right above the warship, pelting countless Marines and soaking the deck in a slick layer of water.

The seawater was flung over ten meters into the air,

And a great clump of water landed right in front of Lu En.

He gathered his body's strength at the tip of his index finger and thrust it at the large ball of water floating before him.

"Finger Pistol!"

One finger thrust out.

Pfft!

Accompanied by a faint sound.

The water ball burst apart on the spot,

And in that brief instant, this enormous water ball had been forcibly pierced through by Lu En's index finger, leaving a hole like a bullet wound.

Before the water ball fully burst,

Only the bullet-hole-like puncture left by Lu En's index finger remained; there were no other cracks.

One could well imagine.

Just how terrifying the power and speed contained in that single finger was!

It had even punched straight through the water ball,

Without disturbing the ball's overall form!

Splash splash splash!

Finally…

The water ball exploded, scattering into a skyful of mist that danced through the air,

Drifting down in every direction.

Next…

Lu En went on to perform Iron Body and Paper Art in succession.

After running through the set,

The Marine's Six Powers were executed by Lu En to perfection.

Not the slightest bit of clumsiness — instead, like a Marine elite who had already mastered the Six Powers for a good year and a half, he wielded them with incomparably practiced control.

Taking advantage of the water droplets in the sky before they had fully vanished, Lu En stepped on Moon Walk, repeatedly performing the Six Powers' Soru, flashing and weaving through the air at blinding speed.

Smashing every droplet about to fall, sending them all flying away from directly above the warship.

On closer look,

Lu En's figure would appear dozens of meters up in the sky one moment, then with a single flash, return to this very spot.

Like a phantom.

Blindingly fast!

Teleporting through empty air.

No one's eyes could pierce Lu En's movement trajectory.

He was far too fast!

Moon Walk plus Soru…

Made Lu En seem as if he had truly achieved teleportation.

A quarter of an hour later,

Lu En stepped down on Moon Walk and landed steadily on the warship's deck.

The deck beneath his feet was dotted with a little water.

Quickly,

Under the halo of light cast by the blazing sun on the horizon, these puddles gradually evaporated into vapor and vanished without a trace.

At this moment.

Every single one of the hundred-plus people on the warship — their gazes filled with stupor, shock, and awe — converged on Lu En in unison, unable to tear themselves away even a fraction.

At this moment,

Captain Kapu was completely dumbfounded.

His throat dry, he stared at Lu En with a thoroughly bewildered expression.

"This old man believes it now."

"This old man's grandson, Lu En…"

"This kid is a thorough and complete monster!"

Unable to help but draw in a sharp breath, Captain Kapu was deeply moved and lost his composure. "In less than half a bell, this kid has actually fully mastered the Six Powers of the Navy!"

"The whole time, he merely watched this old man perform the Six Powers once!"

"Just by watching once, he could master the Six Powers of the Navy without a teacher…"

"In all these years, this old man has never heard of such a phenomenon!"

"Looking across the Navy's several hundred years, there has never been an example of such a monster either."

Captain Kapu's shaken heart at this moment could not settle for a long time.

Gazing at Lu En's figure,

Captain Kapu's eyes were as if looking at a monster.

"This kid Lu En has not only broken the record set by that little brat Aokiji."

"Moreover, this old man can say with absolute certainty—"

"For the next thousand, hundred years, I fear no one will ever be able to attempt to shake the brand-new record created today by this kid Lu En!"

"This record is enough to last for the next thousand years! No one is qualified to break it!"

"A genius!"

"This—now THIS is a true peerless genius!"

Today,

The astonishing talent Lu En displayed has completely overturned Captain Kapu's understanding.
