Chapter 308

"What exactly is called..."

"Six Styles: Shave!"

He finished speaking.

Lu En's mind stirred, and the mighty power within him surged wildly.

Then,

this power gathered beneath his feet.

"Shave!"

His lips twitched slightly.

In an instant, his figure vanished from where he stood.

Shhh!

Accompanied by a shrill tearing sound.

Lu En disappeared.

Smoker's punch struck only a lingering afterimage left by Lu En.

It hit nothing but air,

a move completely missed.

This sight made Smoker's pupils contract involuntarily, his face turning pale.

"Th-this is..."

"Six Styles?!"

"This brat... he also knows Six Styles?!"

"And it looks like he's even more skilled than I am?"

"How is this possible?!"

Smoker was stunned.

He was frozen in shock by Lu En's Six Styles.

A four-year-old brat mastering the Marines' Six Styles?

If this got out,

who would believe it?!

Smoker looked utterly bewildered.

Meanwhile,

while Smoker was still frozen, Lu En flashed forward and appeared behind Smoker.

"Damn!"

Smoker's face twitched slightly as he whipped his head around.

All he saw was

Lu En, smiling, delivering a lightning-fast punch.

This punch, Lu En unleashed without holding back.

With the speed of a thunderclap...

he slammed his fist down hard onto Smoker's back.

Shhh!

The punch unleashed a piercing sonic boom.

It was as if...

even the surrounding space trembled, writhed, and twisted violently under the force, on the verge of shattering.

"F-Fast!"

Smoker's face twitched again.

From this punch, he felt a deadly threat to his life!

It left him incredulous.

This brat...

is he really just a four-year-old kid?!

How could he possibly possess such terrifying combat power?!

This isn't logical!

"Damn it!"

Smoker's face darkened.

Facing Lu En's strike, he felt an unprecedented, overwhelming sense of danger — forcing him to immediately activate his Devil Fruit ability.

"Elementalization!"

Grinding his teeth, the proud Smoker had no choice but to use his Fruit ability.

At first,

he had intended to

fight Lu En with pure physical strength alone, without ever relying on his Devil Fruit power.

Because, in his view,

it would be dishonorable!

To use his Devil Fruit against a mere four-year-old brat would be beneath his dignity.

As the top trainee, his pride forbade him from doing so.

However.

He never imagined...

Merely after a single exchange of blows, this four-year-old brat had already forced him to activate his Devil Fruit ability.

And use elementization...

To deflect Lu En's attack!

"This brat..."

"What kind of monster is he?!"

"How could he be this strong?"

"Just now, the Shave he used was clearly far more refined than mine!"

"The problem is..."

"He's only four years old!"

Smoker couldn't help roaring inwardly, utterly baffled.

He had trained for years in the Marine Six Powers to achieve this level of mastery and proficiency.

Yet what right does this brat have?

He's only four years old...

Could he have started learning the Marine Six Powers since infancy?!

That is clearly impossible.

"This guy..."

"Is no ordinary child!"

Smoker clenched his Yaguan tightly and swiftly activated elementization.

Then,

Lu En's punch tore clean through Smoker's body.

Puff!

A soft sound.

What he struck...

Was not Smoker's physical form.

But a cloud of smoke.

As if he had punched through air.

He hit nothing at all.

There was no sensation of flesh meeting flesh.
