Chapter 114

The ones who had taken the initiative to provoke that terrifying monster from the very start were not them.

It was—

Blue-Haired Jack and that whole crew of the Buggy Pirates!

They could hardly even imagine it.

At the time, if Blue-Haired Jack hadn't been the first to strike,

they might have already made a move against that monster.

When that moment came…

just what kind of fate would have befallen them?

Having provoked such a terrifying monster,

how were they supposed to wrap things up?

Just thinking about it for a moment was enough to make the dozens of thugs on the scene feel their scalp prickle and a chill run down their spines.

That was a monster who had single-handedly annihilated the entire Buggy Pirates!

Having provoked such a monster…

could any good end possibly await them?

Hadn't they seen with their own eyes that even the Buggy Pirates had been wiped out?

Compared to the Buggy Pirates,

what on earth were they?

A terrifying monster capable of annihilating the Buggy Pirates wiping out their mere few dozen men—was that not the easiest thing in the world?

"B-boss, we really are lucky."

"Just a little bit more, and it would have been a disaster."

"You have to understand, that great pirate Clown Buggy, with a bounty of over ten million berries, had escaped from that Marine Colonel Gerson's hands more than once."

"Yet, in front of this four-year-old monster, Clown Buggy was actually taken down single-handedly!"

"Just imagine how terrifying this monster's strength must be!"

"If we had provoked such a monster, our entire gang would probably have been flipped and wiped out without the slightest mercy in the blink of an eye!"

A group of thugs, hearts still pounding with dread, gazed at their boss with faces full of terror.

It could be clearly seen that

the boss, as the leader of this gang of several dozen thugs, was likewise showing a thick, unmistakable terror—his whole body trembling, his hands and feet icy cold, his face pale as a sheet.

"Lucky break…"

"We got our lives back!"

The group of thugs hiding in a dim street corner were at this very moment watching that four-year-old boy recede into the distance down the bustling street with gazes full of shock, fear, and dread.

From beginning to end,

they did not dare to act rashly,

not daring to make a single sound!

So much so that

they even deliberately kept the sound of their breathing low.

After a long while,

once Lu En's figure had completely vanished from the bustling street,

the thugs hiding in the shadows were finally able to heave a long, heavy sigh of relief.

As if a great weight had been lifted, they used their trembling hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads, and the terror in their hearts eased just a little.

At this moment,

as the boss of the entire gang, he could not help but solemnly warn his men in a tone heavy with dread.

"From now on…"

"When we're picking out fat sheep, we must polish our eyes properly—never, ever provoke some existence we can't afford to offend!"

"Otherwise, the Buggy Pirates who got wiped out today will be our cautionary tale!"

"And who could have imagined…"

"A little brat only four years old, who looks all weak and bookish on the outside—but in reality, he's actually a monster of terrifyingly immense strength!" Zhang.
