Chapter 977

His reaction to what Little Lufei had just said revealed an overwhelming sense of shock.

"The key is…"

"That kid Quan Mo Lu En is only five years old!"

"How can a five-year-old brat be this strong?!"

"This isn't scientific!"

Luo Ge was beginning to doubt reality.

……

On this day,

the entire East Sea,

from the Navy up top, were all stunned by this news.

Such as,

the Navy branch stationed in the East Sea.

And…

the Navy fortress of the East Sea.

High-ranking officers like Navy Vice Admirals and Navy Colonels.

All were informed one after another of the Red-Haired Pirates' hasty retreat.

Loguetown.

Navy branch.

It was commanded by Smoker, a Navy Lieutenant Colonel dispatched by the Navy Headquarters.

A user of a Logia-type Devil Fruit.

In just a few days,

he had intimidated every sailor in the branch.

Made his subordinates obey him without question.

On this day,

as news from outside reached him,

Smoker in his office was stunned.

The cigar clenched between his lips nearly fell out.

"What the hell?"

"What did you say?"

"Lu En actually fought the Red-Haired Pirates' vice captain to a standstill? Even held his own against the vice captain?"

"Are you sure?"

"Lu En is only five years old!"

"And the Red-Haired Pirates? They're a Four Emperors-level pirate crew!"

Although Smoker had never been to the New World,

as a Navy Lieutenant Colonel, he naturally understood the scale of the New World's titans.

And the Red-Haired Pirates, in recent years, had become infamous.

Smoker naturally had some understanding of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Precisely because of this,

he was completely thrown off balance.

"How strong is a vice captain of a Four Emperors-level pirate crew?"

Smoker's throat went dry, his heart pounding violently.

He was dumbfounded.

Lu En…

has he really become this powerful?!

Unbelievable!

Is this even real?

Lu En is only five years old!

How can he stand up to a Four Emperors crew's vice captain?

"Lieutenant Colonel Smoker."

"The most terrifying part is…"

"The Red-Haired Pirates' captain—Red-Haired Shanks."

"A pirate with a bounty of billions of Berries."

"A pirate whose strength rivals that of Four Emperors Kaido and Xia Luote Lingsheng."

"He lost an arm in the East Sea!"

"Defeated and fled, stripped of his armor!"

"You heard right! The Four Emperors-level powerhouse Red-Haired Shanks lost his left arm!"

A Navy sailor spoke the truth in a shocked voice.

"What?!"

Smoker was even more astonished.

In the East Sea,

Who else could make Red-Haired suffer such a loss?

He's a Four Emperor-level powerhouse!

Who could sever Red-Haired's arm?

Smoker simply could not imagine it.

After a long while,

he weakly asked, "Could it be Captain Kapu?"

As a naval legend, Kapu represented in every sailor's heart the absolute peak of sea power!

Therefore,

the only one Smoker could think of,

was none other than the navy's legendary hero, Kapu!

If,

someone had severed Red-Haired's arm,

then across the entire sea…

the only one Smoker could think of was Kapu.

Only their navy's legendary hero possessed such strength and capital.

"No, you guessed wrong."

"What I'm about to tell you—you must calm down first."

The naval subordinate said.

"Not Captain Kapu?"

"Then who else could it be?"

Smoker asked back.

"It's General Lu En!"

"You heard right!"

"The five-year-old General Lu En, alone and unaided, not only fought the Red-Haired Pirates' vice-captain, but also severed Red-Haired's left arm!"

"Forced Red-Haired to flee in disgrace!"

The naval subordinate truthfully reported.

In an instant,

Smoker was utterly stunned.

"W-what did you say?!"

"The one who severed Red-Haired's arm…"
