Chapter 176: You Call This Simple

The instant Lu En's voice fell.

Aokiji blinked, momentarily dazed.

Then.

He stared, utterly dumbfounded, at the more than three thousand pirates on the scene who had been knocked out by Conqueror's Haki.

A full three thousand-plus pirates, instantly killed by Conqueror's Haki!

A few survivors remained, sprawled on the ground trembling, clearly scared out of their wits.

Seeing this,

Aokiji exchanged a strange look with Lu En.

Good lord!

You call this simple?!

Are you sure?

So it turns out!

The simple method you spoke of…

Was unleashing Conqueror's Haki to instantly kill all three thousand-plus pirates on the scene?!

"Is this how a monster thinks?"

"Eye-opening!"

Aokiji's mouth twitched.

Simple?

It really is simple!

The whole thing only required unleashing Conqueror's Haki.

In just a few breaths' time, the three thousand-plus pirates on the scene had been wiped out almost entirely, with only a dozen or so survivors remaining.

Tell me,

What method could possibly be simpler than this?

Even if Aokiji went all out, he wouldn't be able to do it.

In just a few breaths' time, instantly kill a full three thousand-plus pirates on the scene!

Even if he went all out, he couldn't possibly kill three thousand-plus people in under a minute.

Yet,

Lu En did it.

And he did it in the simplest way possible!

"The simplest method to deal with these pirates that you just mentioned…"

"It's only simple for you."

Aokiji gave a bitter smile and couldn't help shaking his head. "But, for ninety-nine percent of the people on this sea, the simple method you speak of is simply as hard as reaching the heavens!"

"For those who don't possess the disposition of a king29, even if they spent their entire lives, they couldn't master Conqueror's Haki."

"So."

"Your simple method, in most people's eyes, is simply far too difficult!"

For example,

Aokiji himself!

He had not mastered Conqueror's Haki.

Therefore.

The simple method Lu En spoke of, he simply couldn't emulate at all.

And faced with Lu En's words, Aokiji could only stay silent.

Simple?

For him.

It was simply far too difficult!

At this moment.

Watching his subordinates wiped out in an instant, the fear in the demon-man Oren's heart was magnified infinitely; his eyes filled with terror as he stared at Aokiji.

Now,

He was utterly desperate.

He had wanted to use that little brat as a breakthrough!

Who would have thought.

That little brat was actually a wielder of Conqueror's Haki!

At only four years old, he had already mastered Conqueror's Haki!

Such a case, Oren had never heard of in his entire life.

Because of one wrong decision…

The Demon-Man Pirates were nearly wiped out!

Thinking of this, Oren's heart filled with regret.

Just fine and dandy…
