Chapter 27

Their inner fear amplified infinitely with the cold corpse lying on the ground.

The atmosphere here had fallen silent to the point where the faint sound of hearts beating could be heard.

"Is this what it feels like to kill?"

"It seems…"

"I feel no revulsion or psychological discomfort."

"Does this mean my body itself craves slaughter?"

As his feet landed steadily, Lu En's eyes blazed with battle lust like roaring fire.

The blood swirling through the air seemed to awaken the violent instincts within him.

Immediately,

he unhesitatingly tore off his upper clothing with his blood-smeared hands,

Tearing—

a sharp sound.

Then,

Lu En revealed his young yet muscularly defined body.

Muscles bulged,

strong and powerful.

Giving off an impression of explosive power.

Clearly visible,

jagged veins snaked across Lu En's muscles, and the faint outline of a demonic back emerged beneath the gaze of hundreds of pirates nearby.

Though young and slender, he radiated overwhelming pressure.

At the same time,

the blood within Lu En's body felt like boiling, scalding water…

His blood surged.

It burned fiercely!

Clenching his fists, Lu En keenly sensed

an unparalleled torrent of power flooding his body.

With a flushed, excited face, he grinned at the white ostrich, Captain Kukali.

"Come on! Let's have a man's fight and slaughter!"

"Either you die, or I do!"

"Every pirate here today—every last one of you—won't escape."

"All of you will die!"

On the other side,

one kilometer away across the sea,

a massive warship sat motionless in these waters.

Along the deck railing,

a group of marines led by Captain Kapu stared, stunned, at the battle and slaughter unfolding on the pirate ship ahead.

"S-So brutal!"

A marine, throat dry, blurted out instinctively.

Just now,

Lu En's punch pulverizing a pirate was crystal clear in their vision.

At the same time,

they clearly saw

Lu En tearing open his clothes to reveal his muscular upper body.

Like a wild leopard!

Muscles bulged,

brimming with explosive power!

Though far away, they still felt waves of aura and pressure emanating from Lu En's back.

"Too fierce!"

"A pirate drenched in blood, crushed by a single punch!"

"This is how men fight!"

One marine after another clenched their fists, blood boiling, desperate to join the battle ahead.

This bare-handed, bone-crushing style of combat stirred their own blood into a wild frenzy.

"Captain Kapu…"

"Your grandson Lu En is a natural-born powerhouse!"

Bokato twisted his stiff neck, voice filled with shock: "His first kill brought him no psychological discomfort—instead, he felt his blood surging with excitement."

"I've never seen such a case before."

"If Captain Kapu's grandson doesn't join the Marines, I foresee that one day, your grandson Lu En will become a terrifyingly brutal pirate lord of this sea."

"Such a savage temperament, combined with extraordinary innate talent…"

"Will surely forge him into a supreme powerhouse of the future!"

The voice fell silent,

Captain Kapu nodded in deep agreement.

He had felt it too.

At first,

he had intended to let Lu En see blood, as a necessary step on the path of growth, to help the boy adapt early to the cruel laws of this sea.

But Captain Kapu never imagined…

that his grandson Lu En would adapt to this cruel sea more easily than he had imagined!

No!

More precisely,

"This boy Lu En seems born for this sea."

"The cruel laws of this sea appear tailored specifically for him alone."

"He doesn't need to adapt."

"Because…"

"His very bones seem to have been born with this violent instinct!"

Captain Kapu's eyes glazed over as memories of Lu En's fist smashing open that pirate's skull, and Lu En tearing open his shirt to reveal his ferocious battle intent, replayed endlessly in his mind.

He had miscalculated.

He never expected that Lu En, usually so gentle and mild-mannered, would reveal such a ferocious, savage side in battle—like a tiger bent on murder.

Wild to the core,

utterly fierce and unmatched!

"A love for battle etched into his bones?"

"I misjudged him."

"Lu En, you don't need any battle trials or hardships. Someone like you was born to ride this cruel sea!"

Captain Kapu marveled repeatedly.

At this moment,

he could finally rest easy.

He had once worried that his grandson Lu En might, out of momentary mercy on the pirate ship, allow those ruthless pirates to turn against him and suffer grave danger.

Now, seeing this,

Captain Kapu had no need to worry about this at all.
