Chapter 42

The White Ostrich Pirate Crew was so formidable that even the navy force he personally led was crushed and driven back!

How could he possibly accept this?

A four-year-old child…

Achieved what not even hundreds of our navy could accomplish?!

One person wiped out the entire White Ostrich Pirate Crew?

It sounded to Dams like a dream.

Too exaggerated!

How could such a monster exist on this sea?!

Dams was deeply skeptical.

"Whether it's true or false, we can find out by questioning the pirates sent to prison."

"What's real cannot be fake, and what's fake cannot be real."

"General Kapu is renowned for his glory and unwavering justice; he wouldn't fabricate something over such a trivial matter."

Luo Site pondered for a moment, then said.

"Do you truly believe what General Kapu said?"

"This!"

Dams was shaken to his core.

"No, I can't judge this yet."

"Later, I will personally interrogate that group of pirates."

"Surely…"

"These pirates must know the truth clearly."

Luo Site spoke bluntly.

"General, I'd like to go and see for myself too."

Dams hastily requested.

"Fine, come with me."

Not long after,

the two arrived at the branch base's prison for holding pirates.

Under the guidance of several navy soldiers,

Luo Site and Dams entered a prison specifically holding the pirates recently captured.

Coincidentally,

one pirate seemed to awaken from a daze.

Opening his eyes, he saw Luo Site and Dams.

"I ask, you answer."

"Understood?"

"Don't waste my time with nonsense. Otherwise, I can't guarantee you won't suffer some physical pain."

Luo Site's expression was blank.

"Naval my lord, I swear I'll answer your questions truthfully."

After regaining his senses, the pirate nodded frantically, his face filled with terror.

"I ask you: who wiped out your White Ostrich Pirate Crew?"

Luo Site cut straight to the point.

Beside him,

Dams watched the pirate with eyes full of anticipation.

Under their gazes,

the pirate seemed to sink into memory.

Then,

the pirate, as if insane, his eyes bloodshot and terrified, spoke in a trembling voice.

"D, demon!"

"He's a demon!"

"Everyone on the ship is dead!"

"That brat—he's stronger than a monster!"

"He alone wiped out our entire crew! Even our captain, Kukali, was crushed to death by three punches from that brat!"

"That brat was like a tyrant—he single-handedly slaughtered everyone on the ship!"

Mentioning this, the pirate's face was twisted with terror, his fear utterly unmasked.

Seeing this,

Luo Site's throat tightened, and he could not speak.

Hiss!

His eyes filled with shock and awe as he involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.

"What General Kapu said…"

"Is actually true?!"

He was stunned.

Standing beside him, Dams was also dumbfounded.

"How could this be?!"

"Vice Admiral Kapu's grandson looks like he's just a four-year-old child."

"A four-year-old kid actually wiped out an entire pirate crew single-handedly? And a crew with a combined bounty of twenty million Berries?"

"Oh my God!"

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Damus was visibly shocked, his face filled with astonishment.

"Never would I have imagined…"

"A four-year-old child actually accomplished such an earth-shattering feat!"

"One person, single-handedly annihilating an entire pirate crew! Solo-killing a Great Pirate with a bounty over ten million, and one who was also a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user!"

"Vice Admiral Kapu's grandson…"

"Isn't he just too much of a monster?!"

Even Luo Site, a Vice Admiral of the Marines, was stunned dumb by the truth of the matter he had just uncovered.

A pirate with a bounty over ten million Berries would absolutely not be counted among the weak in the East Blue.

Otherwise,

Damus, a Marine Lieutenant Junior Grade, would not have been forced to flee in panic and suffer one defeat after another at the hands of the enemy.

However,

Such a powerful pirate crew, on this very day, met the miserable fate of being wiped out by a four-year-old child.

If this were to spread,

Who would dare believe it?!

After a long while,

Luo Site left the prison with Damus.

The two parted ways, each carrying an immensely shaken heart.

Luo Site needed to gather his emotions and take some time to calm his mind before he could use the Den Den Mushi to report the matter upward.

As for Damus, he returned to the port with a heart full of shock.

Coming toward him…

A group of curious Marines crowded around Damus, asking questions.

"Lieutenant Junior Grade Damus, is what Vice Admiral Kapu said just now really true?"

"The White Ostrich Pirates were really wiped out by a four-year-old child?"

"That can't be possible, right?"

"How strong can a four-year-old child even be?"
