Chapter 1011

Compare strength?

Who in this entire place can match the Fist Demon?

Know this.

He is the one who severed the arm of Red-Haired Shanks, a notorious sea king!

Pirates with bounties in the hundreds of millions are nothing but insignificant ants before the Fist Demon.

It goes without saying.

The Fist Demon's strength is utterly terrifying!

Since his debut,

the Fist Demon has amassed countless glorious achievements.

Each achievement sends chills down the spine.

Horrifying.

The Fist Demon's fame was not built on status.

It was forged solely by a pair of iron fists, brutally carved into legend.

As for…

Comparing family background with the Fist Demon?

Comparing status?

The middle-aged noble could barely imagine it—he felt a cold dread crawl up his spine.

"Grandson of the Hero Captain Kapu, the Fist Demon Lu En!"

His throat went dry; his gaze, filled with awe and trepidation, fixed on Lu En.

At this moment,

he finally understood.

His so-called Wang Shiguizu status meant nothing before this man.

Worthless!

Merely a joke.

"Captain Kapu, the Hero—that's a legend of the Marines."

"Back then, he alone saved the World Government—a terrifyingly powerful figure."

"His status was so exalted, even the Marine Fleet Admiral fell far short."

"And as Captain Kapu's grandson, the Fist Demon possesses a heavenly-level background!"

"And yet, I dared to try recruiting such a monstrous prodigy with such a prestigious lineage?"

"I've gone mad!"

The more he thought, the more his heart trembled, the more he panicked.

As a Wang Shiguizu of the Gama Kingdom, he knew well Captain Kapu's unique standing in the Marines.

Precisely because of this,

once he learned Lu En's identity,

he no longer dared to target Lu En.

"In the end…"

"I am nothing but a petty clown!"

"I only hope the Fist Demon will not hold a grudge against me."

"Otherwise, I'm in deep trouble."

"Just as that woman said—if I anger the Fist Demon, even my Gama Kingdom cannot protect me!"

"Even worse."

"Given the nature of those people in the Gama Kingdom, they might even hand me over willingly to appease the Fist Demon's rage."

Gulp.

The middle-aged man swallowed again, trembling violently.

With Lu En's identity exposed…

Every gaze in the hall turned to him in succession.

At this moment,

Lu En regarded the noble with interest, watching the pallor of his face.

A wry smile touched his lips as he asked, "I heard you wanted to recruit me as your personal bodyguard? To protect your life? And you offered me one hundred million Berries as payment?"

Instantly,

the middle-aged man was seized by panic.

His face grew even more ashen.

After a long pause,

he forced out words, trembling: "My lord, you've misunderstood. I meant to thank you for your help—I offer one hundred million Berries as a token of gratitude."

"As for recruiting you as my bodyguard?"

"Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare."

"Mr. Fist Demon, please be magnanimous and overlook my earlier insolence."

"This one hundred million Berries is a gift to you—no service required."

Facing Lu En once more,

the middle-aged man displayed a humility never seen before.

It was only because...

He had already learned Lu En's true identity.

Before Lu En's illustrious family background, coupled with Lu En's terrifying strength, it was only natural for this noble middle-aged man to feel awe and dread.

At this moment,

Upon learning Lu En's true identity, the middle-aged man wished he could slap himself hard several times.

Out of nowhere...

Why on earth had he gone to provoke that teenager?!

That was the Fist Demon!

Why had he provoked the Fist Demon specifically?

"I need to change this damned personality of mine."

"Otherwise, if something like this happens again, I fear I'll be left with no corpse at all."

The middle-aged man was filled with regret.

He shouldn't have provoked the Fist Demon.

Now,

He only prayed.

That he could pay one hundred million Berries to settle the matter.

Otherwise, he dared not imagine what horrific consequences he would face.

"One hundred million Berries as a gratitude payment?"

"That's quite a generous gesture."

"If that's the case, then I'll gladly accept it."

"Remember, this is something you insisted on giving me—not something I demanded from you."

Lu En's expression held a faintly teasing smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Fist Demon, this is entirely my own voluntary act—you exerted no coercion at all. Rest assured, even if you gave me ten thousand courage, I wouldn't dare cause you any trouble."

The middle-aged man exhaled in relief and unconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He had finally survived this crisis!

This entire scene unfolded with perfect clarity before the eyes of all those nearby.

A group of nobles cowering in the corner trembled, staring in horror at the middle-aged man bowing to Lu En.

They did not feel shame for the middle-aged man.

After all,

That was the legendary Fist Demon!
