Chapter 259

They were all blown apart by that monster!

The four of them did not believe that even if they joined forces, they could truly shake a monster of this level.

This was absolutely impossible!

Therefore.

Their very first thought was...

Run!

Run as far as possible!

Otherwise, death was certain!

A monster of this level was clearly not something they could contend with.

Even,

They did not even have the courage to contend.

So.

Led by these four officers, the other pirates who had luckily retained clear consciousness within the Conqueror's Haki also moved with the wind, their faces full of panic as they prepared to flee the warehouse.

Seeing this,

Lu En's brow lifted slightly. He swept a casual glance at the direction the four officers were fleeing toward, then looked at the positions of the other pirates escaping.

Turning his head,

He instructed the dumbfounded Lucci beside him: "Those pirates with bounties of over ten million Berries, I'll leave them to you. Should be no problem, right?"

As soon as the words fell.

Lucci only then awoke as if from a dream.

He hurriedly reacted, immediately nodding in agreement: "No problem!"

With his current strength, he could not deal with the captain of the Sword Lion Pirates, Sword Lion Garter, and it was also difficult for him to deal with those four pirate officers with bounties of over thirty million Berries...

But, dealing with mere pirates with bounties in the tens of millions was still more than enough for him.

"Then I'll leave those people to you."

"As for the remaining four officers..."

"Leave them to me to handle."

Lu En smiled.

Then,

He stepped out, his figure flashing.

"Soru!"

"Geppo!"

Lu En, stepping on Geppo, then employed the Six Powers' Soru, causing his figure to vanish from the spot in an instant as he went to pursue the four fleeing pirate officers.

Watching Lu En's departing back, Lucci took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the intense shock within his heart.

"I absolutely can't let myself be completely suppressed by that monster Lu En."

"Dealing with a mere few pirates with bounties in the tens of millions..."

"For me, it's a piece of cake!"

Lucci likewise employed the Six Powers' Soru, vanishing from the spot in an instant to pursue the three pirates with bounties in the tens of millions fleeing the warehouse.

On the spot,

Only wreckage and ruins remained everywhere.

One cold corpse after another...

And also,

Pirate after pirate fainted by the Conqueror's Haki.

Along with those dozen or so nobles and the king's personal guards, who also lay motionless among the Haki-fainted pirates.

A moment later.

Lu En successfully intercepted one of the officers.

"L-let me go, I'll give you hundreds of millions of Berries!"

This officer was extremely panicked, opening his mouth to try to bribe Lu En.

But unfortunately...

As for Berries, Lu En had always looked down on them.

"Sorry, but my mission is to beat every single one of you to a pulp!"

Lu En smiled.

"Die!"

Hearing this, the officer's pupils shrank, and he gritted his teeth, taking the initiative to launch an attack.

Even though he knew his chances of winning were slim, he still did not choose to sit and wait for death.

"Dare to attack me? Admirable courage."

Lu En vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next second he appeared, he was already beside this pirate officer. His index finger turned into a bullet, and with the speed of lightning, he used the Six Powers' Rankyaku—no, Finger Pistol—to pierce through this man's heart.

Pfft!

Fresh blood splattered,

Dyeing the sky red.

Thud!

A dull sound echoed.

Only to see.

The pirate officer sank heavily to the ground, entirely devoid of life.

A pirate with a bounty of no less than thirty million Berries could not even block Lu En's first strike.

A large pool of blood slowly seeped from the officer's heart.

In the blink of an eye,

A small lake of crimson had formed here.

The sharp, thick stench of blood drifted far on the wind.

"First one!"

Lu En casually glanced at the cold corpse at his feet, his eyes narrowing slightly as he turned toward the other three directions, a playful smile forming.

"Three more little rats…"

"Run!"

"Better run even farther."

"Then things would get much more interesting."

"Don't let me catch you."

"Or I'll crush you! Smash you to pieces!"

Instantly,

His figure vanished again.

"Sword Step!"

……

Fifteen minutes later.

Lucci returned to the warehouse, his body drenched in blood and showing signs of fatigue.

At a glance.

His hands were caked with even more blood.

His body itself bore numerous injuries.

Fighting three pirates with bounties of over ten million Berries at once had indeed placed considerable strain on him.

Of course.

In the end, he eliminated them all.

But…

His body still bore certain wounds.
