Chapter 123

She was very curious about the guy Guni娜 always mentioned—what kind of person could make Guni娜 care so much?

Guni娜 once said she'd never won a single fight against that guy named Luo En—surely that's a lie, after all, Guni娜 is this strong…

"According to our investigation, about a year ago, the boy Luo En left the Navy, then passed through the Devil's Triangle and the Alabasta Kingdom; the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Moonlight Moria and Crocodile, both suffered heavy defeats at his hands."

When IwanKofu spoke these words, his tone was filled with unmistakable shock and awe: "I never imagined that the boy who looked even younger than you back then has now grown to this level…"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea suffered heavy defeats at his hands…"

Kella opened her mouth wide, her face full of shock.

So that guy named Luo En is really this strong?!

"It's been four years… Has Luo En really become this strong?"

Guni娜 murmured softly, "I need to push myself harder too."

She looked up at IwanKofu before her: "IwanKofu, where is he now? Do you know?"

IwanKofu shook his head: "Some say they saw him in the Grand Line, others claim he was in the East Blue; recently, rumors have surfaced about him in the South Blue—but nothing is certain, and no one knows where he's headed."

Upon hearing this, Guni娜's eyes curved into a smile.

"Always so unpredictable—this is truly his style."

"Do you want to go find him?"

IwanKofu asked.

Guni娜 shook her head: "It's not the right time yet."

"IwanKofu, thank you for telling me this."

After thanking him, Guni娜 left.

After she left.

Kella couldn't help but turn to IwanKofu beside her and ask:

"Is Luo En really that strong?"

IwanKofu nodded seriously at her: "He really is! He crushed Crocodile, the Sand Crocodile, so badly he was gravely injured—if we fought, I might not even be his match anymore."

"!?"

"Even you, IwanKofu…?"

Kella was stunned beyond words.

According to Guni娜, that guy named Luo En is actually a year younger than her… This is just insane.

Is that guy even human?

112, Drawing His Sword Against Admiral Kuzan (Combined)

South Blue.

After boarding the ship of Joa莉 Bonney, who can age or de-age others through touch, Luo En and his crew spent roughly half a month wandering aimlessly through the South Blue, visiting island after island.

Luo En's vitality had nearly reached 2000 points; when he activated Level 2's Essence of Strength, his physical power would reach an astonishing, terrifying level.

Gongfu Sea Cow Xiao Qi, carrying a 70-kilogram load, had finally caught a glimpse of Armament Haki.

Konis could control steel within a hundred-meter radius, manipulate fifteen blades simultaneously, and move them at double the speed of sound.

That day.

The group arrived at a Wurendao and decided to rest briefly on the island.

Luo En, wearing only black swim trunks and sunglasses, lounged lazily on a beach chair.

Robin and Konis played beach volleyball, while Gongfu Sea Cow Xiao Qi splashed joyfully in the shallows.

Bonney, clad in a red swimsuit that showcased her fiery figure, walked over to Luo En holding a coconut: "Want some?"

Luo En reached out and took it.

Bonney reluctantly handed him the coconut.

"How's it feel?"

Luo En sipped through the straw, asking casually.

Bonney sat down on the sand beside him, gazing at the vast blue ocean, the sea breeze stirring her pink hair.

"To be honest, it's a bit dull, a bit boring—not nearly as thrilling as being a pirate."

Bonney hugged her knees, staring at the sea before her.

"This kind of life is fine for a while, but if it goes on too long, I don't know if I could accept it…"

She looked at Luo En, puzzled: "Someone as strong as you—do you really intend to stay content with this dull life, never seeking to challenge the strong of the sea, never aiming to become the master of these oceans?"

"Isn't this peaceful, free life good enough? I think it's great."

Luo En smiled as he drank the sweet coconut juice: "What's the point of becoming the master of these oceans? Aside from one trouble after another, what else do you gain?"

"Well…"

Bonney was about to reply.

Suddenly, Luo En's eyes narrowed beneath his sunglasses, and a powerful aura erupted from him.

"What's wrong?"

Gongfu Sea Cow Xiao Qi, Konis, and Robin all turned to look at him.

"Just as we were talking, trouble showed up."

Luo En sat up and smiled toward the vast ocean ahead.

Bonney looked in that direction too—but saw nothing; the blue sea was empty.

"What trouble? There's nothing there!"

Bonney couldn't help but glance at Luo En beside her.

Luo En glanced at her and said.

"You'll find out in a moment. The thrill you wanted is here — don't be startled."

Luo En swept his gaze across them, looked at Luo Bin and Konis and the others, and said: "Get on the ship right now and prepare to set sail."

Luo Bin and Konis stared at his rare serious expression, didn't dare take it lightly, nodded to him, and ran toward the ship.

Luo En looked at Bonney:

"You go too."

Though Bonney didn't understand, she still followed them and ran toward the Voyager.

Just as the three women and little Qi had all boarded the ship and were preparing to set off—

A streak of blue cold air spread outward across the distant sea surface at an incomparably fierce speed.

The sea around Wurendao was frozen in an instant.

The ship was trapped in the frozen seawater, completely unable to move.

Konis, Bonney, and sea-cow little Qi, who witnessed this scene from the deck, all widened their eyes in utter shock.

"What is this?"

"The sea suddenly… froze?"

Luo Bin stared at the frozen sea before her, as if something had occurred to her; her pupils contracted sharply and her face turned snow-white in an instant.

"Could this be…?"

"Don't panic, Konis. Do what I told you before — switch this ship to its other mode."

Luo En called out to the people on the Voyager's deck; his calm voice instantly steadied their hearts.

"Understood."

Konis immediately took little Qi and went into the cabin.

Only Bonney and Luo Bin were left on the deck.

"He's here."

Luo En gazed at the distant sea, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Half a minute later.

Bonney saw with her own eyes a person riding a bicycle coming slowly toward them across the distant frozen sea.

"That guy is…?"

Bonney didn't know Aokiji at present.

Luo Bin beside her stared at that figure; a bead of cold sweat slid down her forehead, and her voice trembled slightly as she said:

"That's… Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral — no, Admiral — Aokiji Kuzan."

"A Marine… Admiral?!"
