Chapter 181: Green

Thud!

A dull sound echoed.

It was seen that,

The sharpshooter Homa, whose bounty reached over forty million Berries, had his head exploded by a single punch—his life extinguished, his cold corpse tilting sideways onto the ground.

A large pool of blood scattered in all directions.

In an instant,

The ground was already stained crimson with eerie, blood-red stains, as if a faint red veil had been laid over the soil, appearing profoundly unnatural.

A gentle breeze stirred.

A pungent, thick stench of blood spread out in every direction.

Homa was dead.

The captain of the first division of the Demon Pirate Crew, second only in strength to the Demon King Oren, a sea pirate whose power was among the strongest even in the Grand Line.

Today…

He was killed instantly—his head exploded by Lu En's punch!

More dead than dead.

Even in a three-on-one scenario, Lu En eliminated him with just one glance.

All three captains of the Demon Pirate Crew were sea pirates with bounties of tens of millions of Berries. When they joined forces to kill Lu En, they instead lost one of their own to his counterattack.

Think about it.

How horrifying a thing this was!

Lu En fought three opponents alone, held his ground completely, seized the upper hand, and forcibly shattered the head of their strongest captain.

Throughout it all—he used only one punch!

At this moment,

The atmosphere grew eerily silent!

Absolute silence!

Not a sound!

Green, the second division captain who had transformed into a colossal river village, stared with wide, terrified eyes at the cold, headless corpse of Homa before him.

Even his head had been blown apart…

Horrible!

So horrible!

As an outstanding sharpshooter, Homa's dual-pistol technique was immensely powerful, having struck fear into countless pirates across the Grand Line.

Otherwise,

Homa could never have been wanted by the Marines with a bounty of over forty million Berries!

Just this alone was enough to prove Homa's strength.

Even if Green gave his all, he had no confidence he could defeat Homa.

Yet such a powerful sea pirate…

Just moments ago, was killed by a single punch!

His head was crushed like a watermelon—right on the spot!

These scenes unfolded with crystal clarity before Green's eyes, leaving his throat dry and his fear magnified beyond measure.

"H-How is this possible?!"

Green's spirit trembled violently, his heart flooded with terror.

All of that had happened in an instant.

He had been unable to react at all.

By the time he finally reacted…

He could only see Homa's gruesome corpse—his head blown apart by a punch.

A sharpshooter being caught at close range…

What would be the consequence?

Self-evident.

"Homa—he was a sea pirate with a bounty of over forty million Berries!"

"He was wiped out in one glance?!"

"And…"

"The most terrifying part is—the one who wiped out Homa was a mere four-year-old child!"

"What kind of monster is this kid?!"

Green's lips trembled, his face turned pale, his entire body shaking uncontrollably.

Meanwhile,

Bai Lang Jia Er Sen, not far away, also wore an expression of terror—his blood-red eyes widened in shock, frozen like a statue as he stared at Homa's corpse lying on the ground.

Then,

He turned his gaze to the young figure, bare-chested, revealing every muscle contour.

Fear!

Thick, overwhelming fear surged into his heart!

Piercing his body and soul!

"What on earth…"

"Who is the prey? Who is the hunter?"

"We are the hunters? No, we may have been the prey from beginning to end!"

"That little brat…"

"He is the hunter!"

Jia Er Sen's voice trembled.

The instinctive premonition of danger within his body made him feel an unprecedentedly intense sense of crisis from Lu En.

Especially…

Seeing the scene of Huo Ma being blown apart with a single punch, this sense of crisis in his heart grew even stronger and more intense.

Even Huo Ma, with a bounty of over forty million Berries, was blasted to death in a single encounter!

Try asking,

Can they really deal with a monster like the one before them?!

"This little brat…"

"He's clearly only four years old!"

"How could he possibly be this strong?!"

"Blasting Huo Ma apart on the spot with a single punch? What kind of terrifying strength does that require?"

"And…"

"What exactly was that move he used to vanish into thin air just now?"

"Could it be teleportation?!"

Jia Er Sen's hands and feet went cold; he completely lost his composure.

Gulp!

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he instinctively retreated half a step, feeling deep dread and terror toward Lu En.

Stemming from his body's instinctive reaction…

It made him want to immediately flee this terrifying place.

A four-year-old little brat was horrifying beyond belief!

Can they really shake the existence of such a monster?

At this moment,

Even the demon-man Ao Lun was startled by the scene before his eyes.

"Wh-what?!"

"Huo Ma…"

"Was blown apart by that little brat's single punch?!"

"This!"

Ao Lun's heart shook wildly, his eyes bulging wide and round.

He had already transformed into the form of a raging bear, standing nearly ten-plus meters tall, like a small mountain, yet his gaze was drawn to Huo Ma's cold corpse.

He stared blankly at Huo Ma's corpse…

His gaze shifted,

He wore an expression of terror and horror, looking toward that figure of merely four years old!

An unprecedentedly intense sense of shock completely dominated his entire body and mind.

Everything happening before his eyes was something he could never have predicted even in his dreams!

A four-year-old little brat…

Had actually blown apart a great pirate with a bounty of over forty million Berries in a single punch!

Is this possible?

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Ao Lun would never have believed it in his entire life.

"Just what kind of monster has the Marines sent today?"

Ao Lun couldn't help but let out a roaring howl in his heart, overcome with great fear and dread.
