Chapter 256

Moreover,

that muscular, sinewy frame, and the savage grin on his face.

It delivered a powerful psychological shock!

This, quite literally, was an extremely brutal tyrant!

Tick-tock!

Tick-tock!

Blood dripped from the severed arm clutched in Lu En's hands.

Blood flowed in rivers,

slowly trickling.

The pungent, overwhelming stench of blood filled the vast warehouse.

The smell was nauseating.

Dozens of eyes, filled with terror and shock, fixed simultaneously on Lu En, staring at the arm that had been torn alive from its socket.

They were watching…

Lu En, drenched head to toe in blood.

Thick fear filled the hearts of the few pirate officers present.

Gurgle!

They involuntarily swallowed hard, their faces pale with dread and unease.

"H-Horribly brutal!"

"Our boss's arm was smashed to pieces head-on!"

"The other arm was torn off alive!"

"Good heavens!"

"That brat is strong enough to do this?!"

"Even our boss in his Sword Lion form couldn't stand against this brat?"

"Monster!"

The pirate officers were shaken to their cores.

At this moment,

seeing their boss lose both arms, they felt they could already foresee it.

What fate awaited their boss, Gatte!

Even at full strength, he had been crushed without mercy.

Then ask yourself,

now that his arms have been torn away and his power halved, how could boss Gatte possibly resist that terrifying monster, barely four years old?

"D-Done for!"

"Our boss is done for!"

"We thought that even if our boss in Sword Lion form couldn't win, he'd at least drive that brat back. But we never imagined he'd be crippled in a single blow!"

"What kind of monster is that brat?"

Nearly ten pirates trembled violently.

On the other side.

Watching Gatte's two arms destroyed, Lucci's eyes were filled with shock.

"A pirate with a bounty close to fifty million Berries…"

"Is he this weak?"

Lucci was stunned.

In a single glance…

Both arms were smashed to pieces!

One of them was even torn apart in a horrific, soul-chilling manner!

Too gruesome!

Is this really a pirate with a bounty close to fifty million Berries?

How could he be this defenseless?

"No!"

"It's not that he's defenseless, nor that he's weak."

"It's simply that…"

"His opponent is too strong!"

"Lu En is a monster—terrifyingly powerful!"

"That's why Gatte, the Sword Lion, seems weak—but it's merely an illusion."

"If I faced Sword Lion Gatte, I'd be crushed without mercy."

Lucci involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.

At this moment,

having witnessed these astonishing scenes, he had no choice but to admit it.

Lu En, merely four years old, was countless times stronger than him!

The pirate he could never defeat,

was being utterly crushed without resistance before Lu En's eyes.

This is the immense gap between the two sides.

Like a chasm,

A world apart.

"In other words～."

"If my opponent is Lu En, this monster, he could crush me instantly with one hand!"

Luchi's emotions trembled, his face filled with dread.

By this point in the battle, he could already foresee the final outcome.

Unless something unexpected happens…

Sword Lion Gatte will surely die!

A notorious pirate with a bounty nearing fifty million Berries will very likely be brutally killed today by a monster barely four years old.

Huh!

He exhaled heavily, gazing at Lu En's blood-splattered back.

A terrifying aura, like that of a prehistoric beast, swept over him like a tidal wave, making his entire body feel as if trapped in an ice cave, trembling all over.

Coldness pressed in,

Chill pierced to the bone.

"Too brutal!"

"Too strong!"

"This kind of battle that stirs the blood—that's real man-to-man combat!"

"Lu En, barely four years old, this guy smashed Sword Lion Gatte head-on!"

The more he thought, the more stunned Luchi became.

In the battlefield.

Lu En casually tossed aside the severed arm.

Then,

He stomped down hard, crushing the blood-soaked arm into pulp.

Boom!

The arm and a large section of the earth beneath it shattered and collapsed under that stomp.

He lifted his head,
