Chapter 398

She shouldn't have attacked this monster!

An unprecedented, intense sense of danger surged into her heart, causing her entire body to tremble involuntarily.

Thick fear filled her entire being.

She began to regret it.

She shouldn't have acted on impulse and attacked such a terrifying monster!

Now it was done.

The opponent hadn't suffered a single scratch…

And she, too, was about to face the opponent's murderous attack.

The thought made her unable to imagine it.

What horrific fate would she face?

A monster capable of fighting her son Vibul to a standstill—if it turned on her, could she block its attack?

Absolutely impossible!

Thinking of this, Miss Baking's mind was utterly dominated by fear, and she screamed involuntarily: "Vibul! Come save me!"

Her terrified wailing echoed across this stretch of sea.

Instantly,

Hearing Miss Baking's cry for help, Vibul tightly gripped his kwan dao, its surface coated in Armament Haki, his eyes blazing with urgency and rage as he stared at Lu En, who stood atop Moon Step.

"Mother!"

"I'll kill him right now!"

Vibul gritted his teeth and attacked again in fury.

Holding his kwan dao,

He slashed downward at Lu En high above.

Shii! Shii! Shii!

One after another, sharp slashes were unleashed by Vibul.

Blinding, brilliant slashes surged toward the sky, aiming to completely sever and shatter Lu En's body.

"Shave!"

But just before impact, Lu En's figure vanished into thin air again.

When he reappeared,

He had already arrived beside Miss Baking's stretch of sea, standing atop Moon Step, looking down upon Miss Baking from above, so close she could feel his breath.

"I ask you…"

"Who gave you the nerve to attack me?"

Lu En's lips curled slightly.

"You!"

Miss Baking's eyes widened, and she involuntarily swallowed hard, her face filled with dread.

In that instant,

She had no psychological preparation whatsoever for Lu En's sudden appearance.

"Anyone who dares attack me will be regarded as my enemy."

"And you…"

"At this very moment, you are my enemy!"

"As my enemy, I will grant you the highest respect."

"That is…"

"To beat you to death, tear you apart alive!"

Lu En grinned.

His smile, as seen by Miss Baking, resembled the grin of a demon, sending chills down her spine.

"No! You can't kill me!"

"If you kill me…"

"My son will avenge me! Vibul will surely kill you! He will fight you and your entire Navy to the death!"

"Without my restraint, Vibul will go completely mad. When that happens, the destruction he brings to this sea will far exceed your Navy's imagination."

"And you, too, will surely die!"

"I advise you to spare my life. Only I can restrain Vibul. Otherwise, once he slips into madness, every single one of you Navy personnel here today will die."

To save her life, Miss Baking frantically threatened Lu En with every word she could muster.

Her ugly face turned deathly pale, her body trembling uncontrollably under the grip of terror.

"Is that so?"

"Only you can restrain Vibul?"

"Then…"

"If I kill you, then kill him, won't that solve everything?"

"Won't that stop him from continuing to plague this sea?"

Lu En smiled.

With those words spoken,

Miss Baking's pupils shrank, her face turning ashen.

Her lips trembled slightly, her throat dry: "No! You can't do this! His father is Bai Huzi—the strongest man in the world!"

"If you kill him…"

"Bai Huzi will surely come after you!"

"He's the strongest man in the world!"

"All of you Marines will die for this."

"Let me go. Let me and Wibul go. I promise you, from now on, I will restrain Wibul and stop him from terrorizing these seas."

"I can even take Wibul and disappear, never showing my face in these waters again."

Now,

Miss Bajin did not doubt it.

The five-year-old Lu En before her might truly possess the strength to crush Wibul.

She began to panic.

"Then let Bai Huzi come!"

"I'm waiting!"

Lu En laughed bitterly.

Seeing Miss Bajin's frantic, nearly insane posture, he had no patience left to continue speaking with her.

Continuing to talk would be nothing but a waste of time.

As for Miss Bajin's plea for mercy…

Lu En did not take it to heart.

In his memory,

the future Master Zefa was attacked by Wibul, leading ultimately to his amputation and the near-annihilation of his students…

All of this happened because,

the two had long been entangled.

Lu En had his suspicions.

It might be this very moment!

If I had not appeared,

then Master Zefa and Wibul would have already clashed.

Master Zefa, not yet in his twilight years, facing Wibul, who had not yet reached his peak period.

In such a case, Master Zefa would have had an extremely high chance of defeating Wibul.

Due to Wibul's stupidity…

coupled with Miss Bajin's pitiful pleading,

and Master Zefa's own merciful heart, he would never kill a pirate.
