Chapter 378

They wiped out a full hundred-plus people in one go!

"Lu En is practically a monster!"

A group of trainees gave this assessment from the bottom of their hearts.

"The makings of a king, found in only one out of a million people～!"

Master Zefa's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed again and again.

Vaguely,

his keen perception caught it.

Just now, that earth-shattering Conqueror's Haki seemed countless times stronger than the Conqueror's Haki Lu En had unleashed a year ago during the incident at Marineford that hurt people.

"In just one short year…"

"This kid Lu En has even trained his Conqueror's Haki to reached this state?"

"But against a great pirate of Whitebeard Jr.'s caliber, Conqueror's Haki won't be of much use."

"What will you do?"

Master Zefa quickly suppressed his astonishment, and a hint of worry resurfaced in his eyes.

At this moment.

High in the sky,

Lu En stood in midair with Moon Walk beneath his feet, looking down at the group of pirates on the ship below that had been wiped out.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"A bunch of small fry, finally cleaned up."

"Next…"

"Time to get down to business."

Lu En's eyes narrowed slightly.

Then,

treading Moon Walk, he plummeted rapidly from the sky.

Boom!

Boom!

Moon Walk stomped on the air, sending out sharp sounds like sonic booms.

Not long after,

Lu En descended from the sky and landed smoothly on the deck of this pirate ship.

Once his feet touched down steadily,

Lu En arrived on this pirate ship.

Raising his head,

he quietly gazed at the obese figure standing before him—nearly six or seven meters tall, making this fat figure look like a small giant.

A surging pressure slowly emanated from this figure.

Apart from the nose hanging from his nose and that dim-witted gaze, this person possessed every single trait of a powerhouse.

It's just…

a bit dim.

A simpleton.

But undeniably, Whitebeard Jr. Edward Weeble's strength was extremely formidable.

Even though he was only in his early twenties now and had not yet grown to the peak of his strength, his power was absolutely no inferior to the current Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Shifting his gaze,

Lu En looked again at the middle-aged woman standing behind Weeble.

Very old,

and very ugly,

very short,

giving Lu En's first direct impression was…

this was an evil old hag.

Whether in height, build, or strength, she was completely different from Weeble.

It was truly hard to imagine.

She was barely over a meter tall—how could she have given birth to Weeble, that six-or-seven-meter-tall small giant?

Perhaps…

the two of them had no blood relation.

However,

seeing the ugly faces of Weeble and Miss Buckin, Lu En could vaguely accept that these two might actually share a blood relation.

Equally ugly!

While Lu En was sizing up the two before him, the latter were also sizing up Lu En.

"A monster barely five years old…"

"Truly shocking!"

Miss Buckin's eyes were filled with awe and solemnity, staring fixedly at Lu En, not daring to be careless or let her guard down in the slightest.

"You two—are you coming with me?"

"Or…"

"You want me to personally escort you lot to Impel Down for a trip?"

Lu En's eyes flashed, a smile on his face as he slowly spoke.

The words fell.

Miss Bakkin's face darkened with anger.

Weibel gripped his glaive tightly, killing intent blazing in his eyes as he stared at Lu En before him.

He was already prepared to engage in battle at any moment.

The moment Miss Bakkin gave the order, he would charge at Lu En without the slightest hesitation, going all out with killing him as his goal.

"Let us go. We don't want to fight you."

"You wounded our men. Let this matter end here."

"I admit, I misjudged the situation."

"I shouldn't have plotted against your Navy warship, shouldn't have raised a hand against you."

"However…"

"Don't think you really have us in the palm of your hand."

"If we fight, you may not necessarily take us down. On the contrary, you might end up dying at our hands."

"Let's call it quits here, what do you say?"

Miss Bakkin calmly analyzed the situation, her face full of wariness as she spoke to Lu En.

Clearly,

Lu En's earth-shattering Conqueror's Haki from moments ago had struck a heavy blow to her spirit, making her start thinking of backing down.

All around,

Pirates lay scattered in every direction, unconscious in the corners on both sides.

A full hundred-odd pirates had all fainted.

Including the pirate ship's original helmsman, navigator, and others — they too had all been knocked out and instantly killed by Lu En's terrifying Conqueror's Haki.

Therefore.

Right now, this pirate ship was in a state where no one could operate it.

Even if Miss Bakkin wanted to take Weibel and flee, they had no way to sail this pirate ship out of these waters.

Taking all of the above into account,

Miss Bakkin faced only two paths.

Either choose to wage war against the Lu En before her, and against every Marine on that warship, slaughtering every single Marine here to the last.

That way, they could quietly wait for these fainted pirates to wake up.

The second option was for both sides to stand down and leave each other alone.
