Chapter 33

A thumb-sized blood-red hole took this pirate's life.

Life withered away…

Very quickly,

the ice-cold corpse collapsed heavily.

Plop!

The muffled sound echoed in every direction.

Watching this,

another pirate being casually slain by Lu En further stoked the terror in the hearts of the surviving pirates, driving them into a frenzy as they tried to flee the entire pirate ship.

It could be seen that

quite a few pirates had completely lost their reason.

Driven by the emotion of fear, they leapt one after another into the deep sea nearby, without considering at all that this was the central region of the ocean.

"Run?"

"I said it."

"Everyone present today — every last one of you — none of you are getting away!"

"Did I let you run?"

Seeing the scene of a group of pirates fleeing in madness, Lu En narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression playful.

To deal with this group of pirates, scattered like loose sand, fleeing in different directions toward all sides.

Lu En had a very good solution.

And that was…

"Conqueror's Haki!"

Lu En's eyes flashed.

From within his body, an incomparable, surging spiritual force erupted violently.

The next second,

this majestic spiritual force transformed into a terrifying, tidal-like aura of pressure.

Like massive waves rolling and surging.

Overwhelming and irresistible,

it blotted out the sky and covered the earth.

Boom—

With Lu En's body as the center point, the world-shaking Conqueror's Haki spread inch by inch.

The invisible, unseen aura swept outward in a circular arc in all directions.

In an instant,

the terrifying Conqueror's Haki had already enveloped the entire battlefield!.

Centered on where Lu En stood, the sea within a radius of over a hundred meters was inevitably shrouded by this terrifying Conqueror's Haki.

Thus.

To the naked eye,

as their bodies were enveloped by this invisible aura, the group of pirates closest to Lu En who were about to leap into the sea had their spirits and consciousness crushed on the spot in an instant.

Boom—

The surging Conqueror's Haki destroyed their spiritual consciousness.

Causing them one after another to roll their eyes back, foam at the mouth, lose consciousness and thus lose control of their bodies — limbs going limp, their bodies collapsing heavily onto the deck beside them.

Plop!

Plop!

……

One after another, every single pirate collapsed heavily to the ground without exception.

One fell, and a whole patch went down!

A few pirates who were about to leap into the sea, just before plunging into the ocean, were enveloped by the Conqueror's Haki, instantly lost consciousness, and sank straight into the sea without a trace.

Seawater splashed up,

water stains scattered across the deck.

Looking closely,

all around,

the deck of the entire pirate ship no longer had a single pirate who could remain standing.

Looking in all directions,

pirate after pirate lay scattered haphazardly across every corner of the deck, motionless, as if reduced to cold corpses.

Even the batch of pirates who were heavily wounded and constantly wailing and screaming were, without exception, knocked unconscious on the spot by the Conqueror's Haki.

The vast pirate ship — utter silence!

At the same time,

the dozens of pirates who had plunged into the sea also could not escape the range enveloped by the Conqueror's Haki.

The sea within a radius of over a hundred meters…

every living being was a target of this Conqueror's Haki's shroud.

Then one could see,

the dozens of pirates who had just fled into the sea — the excited smiles on their faces had not yet fully bloomed before their consciousness was crushed by the Conqueror's Haki.

They instantly rolled their eyes back, floating lifelessly on the sea like dead fish, limbs limp.

A hundred meters of sea…

Even several small Sea Kings passing through this stretch of ocean were stunned by this Conqueror's Haki, their white bellies flipping upward.

A handful of Sea Kings retained consciousness, attempting to approach and devour the pirates floating on the sea, yet were overwhelmed by the shock of this earth-shattering Conqueror's Haki.

They fled in terror.

Splash!

A gentle sea breeze blew in, sending ripples across the surface of the sea, spreading outward.

On the sea surface,

one pirate after another floated like dead fish, eyes rolled back, slowly sinking beneath the waves.

At this moment,

the atmosphere here became eerily strange!

Silence!

Aside from Lu En, not a single survivor retained consciousness.

"Done."

Walking to the railing of the pirate ship's deck, Lu En gazed with satisfaction at the group of unconscious pirates floating on the sea.

His gaze shifted,

and he looked again at the group of unconscious pirates on the deck.

Thus,

the White Ostrich Pirate Crew was annihilated!

Wiped out entirely by Lu En alone!

Dead,

maimed,

unconscious.

A pirate crew with a total bounty of twenty million Berries fell to annihilation in less than half an hour under Lu En's hands.

After this battle, Lu En began slowly to realize.

His own strength…

was probably not as weak as he had imagined!
