Chapter 195: WTF! The Monster Who Annihilated the Demon Man Pirates at Age Four! [1/10 Request Self-Subscription]

For a moment,

The silent atmosphere was shattered by a navy officer's trembling voice: "I—I didn't hear wrong, did I? Colonel Mizi said it was that child, only four years old…"

"Annihilated the Demon Man Pirates?"

"Are you sure?"

"This… isn't this just a dream?"

Glug!

A group of newly arrived navy officers involuntarily swallowed hard, their eyes filled with shock and awe, staring dumbly in the direction Mizi pointed.

Then,

They saw clearly.

That four-year-old figure!

He was bare-chested.

His entire body rippled with defined muscles, veins bulging like centipedes across every muscle, each one seeming to hold boundless power.

Like a volcano about to erupt!

His back bore a pattern,

Utterly grotesque.

As if branded by a demon.

It sent chills down their spines.

A vast, overwhelming aura of pressure radiated from him, sweeping over every navy officer present, pressing down on them all.

"Is… is it him?!"

The navy officers were stunned.

They were certainly no strangers to Lu En, who had always accompanied Vice Admiral Kuzan.

They had assumed

That this was some "nine-zero-zero" friend of Vice Admiral Kuzan's protégé…

Hence why he'd been brought along to join this operation to exterminate the Demon Man Pirates.

Yet,

Right now,

Mizi's words completely overturned their prior understanding.

"Surely it wasn't Vice Admiral Kuzan who annihilated the Demon Man Pirates?"

"But rather…"

"That four-year-old?!"

"Fake, right?"

"Is this even possible?"

"A four-year-old child annihilated the Demon Man Pirates?"

"The Demon Man Pirates had over three thousand men! All wiped out by a four-year-old?"

"Good heavens!"

The navy officers were shaken to their cores, deeply moved and utterly uncomposed.

Mizi's words had fully ignited the awe within them.

Dozens of eyes, brimming with shock, horror, and disbelief, all fixed unconsciously on Lu En's back, unable to tear away.

"M-Mizi Colonel, are you certain you didn't misstate?"

One navy officer stared at Mizi, his expression blank, asking.

Before Mizi could answer,

The dozens of elite navy officers standing beside him began speaking one after another.

"This is absolutely true!"

"We all witnessed it!"

"That child annihilated the Demon Man Pirates entirely by himself!"

"Even the three Demon Man Pirate captains, each with bounties of tens of millions of Berries, were all crushed to death by him alone."

"One against three, utterly dominating the entire fight!"

"That child is simply too strong!"

The dozens of navy officers who had witnessed the battle firsthand spoke in stunned tones, revealing the truth.

The navy officers stood dumbfounded, frozen like statues.

Everything had utterly shattered their worldview.

They could barely refrain from questioning their own lives.

Someone couldn't help asking: "How could a four-year-old possibly do this?! The Demon Man Pirates had over three thousand men—how were they all annihilated?"

They couldn't imagine how it had happened.

Over three thousand men…

Wiped out by one person?!

What kind of brutal, ferocious battlefield was that?

Yet…

Why did they see not a single wound on that four-year-old?

Could it be that

One person single-handedly wiped out the entire Demon-Person Pirate Crew of over three thousand members, and managed to maintain a completely unscathed state throughout?!

Is this even possible?

At this thought, the over a thousand marines were once again stunned speechless.

"One person instantly killed over three thousand and remained completely unscathed?"

"This—it's impossible, right?"

"Even if Vice Admiral Aokiji went out personally, wanting to take care of the Demon-Person Pirate Crew's full three thousand-plus members, surely he couldn't have done it without sustaining a single injury, right?"

"A child only four years old—could he really accomplish something even Vice Admiral Aokiji couldn't?"

"My heavens!"

Pair after pair of horrified gazes turned unanimously toward Miz, seeking an explanation from him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Miz took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the intense shock in his heart.

Then,

His eyes filled with reverence as he gazed at Lu En's back, and only after quite a while did he speak: "Have you heard of what is called the potential of a King—a quality only one in a million possesses?"

"The potential of a King…"

A group of marines were dumbfounded.

"Only a person who possesses the potential of a King can awaken an extremely terrifying ability."

"This ability is called…"

"Conqueror's Haki!"

"Only true monsters of the sea can master this power."

"For example, in that dangerous stretch of sea in the New World, the man hailed as the World's Strongest Man—Whitebeard, Edward Newgate."

Miz continued speaking.

Every marine present listened in a daze, not daring to make a sound and break the silent atmosphere.

"And that existence, only four years old…"

"…controls this potential that only one in a million possesses! And at the tender age of just four, he has completely mastered this power!"

"This feat has set the sole record of the past hundred years on the sea!"

"He is also, looking across the several hundred years of our Marines, the only example of someone who could master Conqueror's Haki at the tender age of just four."

"The sole example!"

As Miz's voice fell.

The atmosphere on the scene once again fell silent.

Utterly soundless.

A moment later,

The atmosphere was completely ignited!

A group of marines wore faces full of shock and horror.

They completely lost their composure.

"C-Conqueror's Haki…"

"It was this power that allowed that four-year-old existence to instantly kill the full three thousand-plus crew members of the Demon-Person Pirate Crew present? To instantly kill this group of hardened villains all at once?"

"That World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard, in the New World—does he also possess this potential and power?"

"And that terrifying four-year-old existence before us—he, at the tender age of just four, has already mastered the same power as that Whitebeard?!"

"My heavens!"

"Just what kind of terrifying monster is this?"

The many marines felt immense horror, faces full of shock.

Quite a few marines gave a bitter smile: "At first, we all thought that the reason Vice Admiral Aokiji brought along a burden was simply because he wanted to mentor a junior."

"That's why he let the other party follow him into danger, coming to take part in the operation to encircle and annihilate the Demon-Person Pirate Crew."

"Never would we have expected…"

"Turns out!"

"The one following behind Vice Admiral Aokiji was actually such a terrifying monster!"

"A monster only four years old!"

"At the tender age of four, he wiped out the entire Demon-Person Pirate Crew! Even the three captains, whose bounties reached tens of millions of Berries, were all instantly killed!"

"What an astonishing feat is this?"

"Too terrifying!"

"A genius like this must be one in a hundred years!"

The marines exclaimed in awe again and again…………

They gazed at Lu En's back with faces full of reverence, worship, and admiration.

"Today, I can finally say I've truly seen something."
