Chapter 113

Rogge Town.

A bustling street.

Crowds thronged, lively and vibrant.

Shops of every kind, dazzlingly abundant, left one's eyes reeling.

Clothing,

Jewelry,

Weapons,

Food…

Lu En, having left the Marine branch, walked through the bustling street, preparing to retrace his steps toward Rogge Town's harbor.

With over a million Beri in his pocket, he no longer drew the attention of any lurking thugs.

Walking through the noisy street, occasionally savoring Rogge Town's specialty delicacies, Lu En feasted until his belly was full, then headed straight for the harbor.

In a dim corner of the street.

Dozens of fearful eyes watched Lu En's retreating figure, still trembling with dread.

This gang of irredeemable thugs was thoroughly terrified by Lu En's presence.

"If I remember right, that brat walking down the street just now was taken away by Blue-Haired Jack half an hour ago."

"But why…"

"How is it possible that someone taken by Blue-Haired Jack has returned to the street?"

"Could it be that this brat wasn't extorted by Blue-Haired Jack and his crew? That doesn't make sense. Given Blue-Haired Jack's nature, and with Clown Buggy as their backer, they wouldn't have let this brat go."

The thugs were utterly baffled.

At that moment,

A timid voice spoke up: "Hey, is there a chance… that Blue-Haired Jack and his crew were all wiped out? That this brat took them all out by himself?"

The words fell.

Complete silence fell over the crowd!

Not a sound!

After a long pause,

A trembling voice finally broke through: "W-what? Are you serious? Who is Blue-Haired Jack? He's a pirate with a bounty of millions of Beri!"

"And…"

"If I recall correctly, the direction Blue-Haired Jack took that brat was toward the base of Buggy's pirate crew."

"Are you saying this four-year-old brat wiped out the entire Buggy Pirate Crew by himself? Do you think that's possible?"

"Buggy, captain of the Buggy Pirate Crew, is a great pirate with a bounty of twelve million Beri! And he's a Logia Devil Fruit user!"

Skeptical voices echoed through the dim street corner.

The thug who had made the guess was left speechless, unable to respond.

After all,

A four-year-old brat wiping out a pirate crew with a bounty of over ten million Beri?

That did sound absurd!

But no one expected…

Without warning…

Suddenly!

A shocking piece of news arrived from a subordinate.

"L-Lord!"

"Big news! Huge news!"

"The Buggy Pirate Crew has been wiped out!"

"Just now, a large force of Marines set out from the Marine branch, armed with spears and fully equipped, heading toward a tavern several kilometers southeast of town."

"I remember clearly—that tavern was the Buggy Pirate Crew's base!"

The news spread.

In an instant,

Dozens of thugs hiding in the dim street corner froze like statues, jaws dropped.

"W-what did you say?!"

"The Buggy Pirate Crew was wiped out? Are you sure this isn't a joke?"

"That's Buggy, the great pirate with a bounty over ten million Beri, who personally founded an incredibly powerful crew! How could they be wiped out?!"

"Did Colonel Gerson personally lead the operation?"

Someone quickly asked.

"N-no, it wasn't Colonel Gerson."

"I heard a hushed report from my men."

"The one who wiped out the Buggy Pirate Crew…"

"Is a four-year-old monster!"

"The entire Buggy Pirate Crew was wiped out by a single four-year-old brat!"

As the subordinate revealed the truth,

The entire crowd fell silent!

Dead silence!

Dozens of thugs stared with faces full of shock, eyes bulging wide, completely dumbfounded.

"Wh-what?!"

"The Buggy Pirates, wiped out by a little brat only four years old?"

"Are you sure?"

"How could that possibly be?!"

"Are you insane?!"

A group of thugs were shaken to their very souls.

"Boss, this news is absolutely true."

"This piece of news has already completely blown up the Marine branch!"

"It really was a little brat only four years old who overturned the Buggy Pirates. Even the great pirate Clown Buggy, with a bounty of over ten million berries, was taken down single-handedly by that four-year-old brat! And sent to the Marine branch to be imprisoned!"

Every thug present wore a blank, stupefied expression.

Gradually,

They suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying fact.

"Hey, hey, hey…"

"No way, right?"

"You guys, that four-year-old brat who wiped out the Buggy Pirates—"

"He couldn't possibly be…"

"That little brat from just now?!"

Dozens of thugs' faces were covered in horror. They hurriedly shifted their gaze, staring fixedly at the four-year-old boy not far away, who was currently running freely through that bustling street.

In an instant,

A wave of icy cold rose from the soles of their feet straight up to the crown of their heads.

Making their hair stand on end,

Sending chills down their spines.

"Could there really be such a coincidence?"

"Just now, that little brat happened to be taken by Blue-Hair Jack to the Buggy Pirates' headquarters. And now, less than half an hour later, news comes that the Buggy Pirates were wiped out by a four-year-old brat."

"Coincidence?"

"No!"

"This isn't a coincidence!"

"I was wondering about it the whole time just now—how on earth did a four-year-old brat escape from the Buggy Pirates' headquarters? Turns out, that little brat actually single-handedly wiped out the entire Buggy Pirates!"

The crowd of thugs couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, their hearts wildly trembling nonstop.

They were dumbstruck.

At this moment,

The truth that surfaced in their minds completely overturned their entire worldview.

Gulp!

They couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, staring at the four-year-old boy on the street with gazes full of terror, panic, shock, and fear, their whole bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"Oh my god!"

"A little brat only four years old, who forcefully wiped out the entire Buggy Pirates!"

"What on earth kind of monster is he?!"

"How could a monster this terrifying suddenly appear in Luo Ge Town?!"

"Far too strong!"

"At four years old, wiping out a pirate crew with bounties totaling over ten million! Taking down the great pirate Clown Buggy, whose bounty exceeds ten million berries!"

·· ·········Request flowers··· ····

"This kind of monster is simply terrifying beyond words."

At this very moment,

Upon learning the truth, beyond being filled with shock, they also felt an immense sense of relief.

Thank goodness…
