Chapter 449: Lu En: I'll Just Use Three Fists and Blow You Away

"C-Conqueror's Haki?!"

"The legendary Conqueror's Haki?!"

Hiss—

Mo Lisen couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath, his eyes wide and round.

Recalling,

the terrifying aura of might that had just swept over his entire body, he felt a creeping chill run down his back for the first time in a century.

As for Haki—the pinnacle power of this sea—he had naturally heard whispers of it before.

Especially…

As a Logia user, he had researched many powers that posed a threat to himself.

Among them,

including Seastone and seawater.

What made Mo Lisen most fearful was…

not encountering an enemy wielding a Seastone weapon.

But rather,

encountering an existence who had mastered Armament Haki!

That was the enemy Mo Lisen feared most.

He knew.

Just how terrifying an existence who had mastered Haki truly was!

Never would he have imagined…

that today, of all days, he would happen to run into such a monster.

And the Haki the other party wielded was the rarest of them all—Conqueror's Haki!

Said to be a quality of kings possessed by only one in a million!

"That little brat…"

"How old is he?"

"He's clearly only five years old!"

"A monster who, at only five years old, has already mastered Conqueror's Haki?!"

"Is that even possible?"

Mo Lisen's mind was shaken to its core; he had completely lost his composure.

One had to know…

Looking across this entire sea, even those monsters with the disposition of kings needed a full ten-plus years of grueling training before they could possibly master an extremely terrifying power like Conqueror's Haki.

Yet,

what was he seeing now?

An example of someone who, at only five years old, had already mastered Conqueror's Haki!

Thinking of this, Mo Lisen stared fixedly at Lu En with a look of sheer terror.

He realized.

He had gravely underestimated the terrifying nature of this little brat.

At the same time.

Standing at Mo Lisen's side,

as the captain of the Cerberus Pirates, with a bounty as high as sixty million Beri, Cerberus Kulin had naturally overheard Mo Lisen muttering to himself.

"Conqueror's Haki?"

"That little brat actually possesses such a terrifying power?"

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Kulin was deeply moved.

Lu En's strength far exceeded his imagination.

At this moment,

he understood even more deeply.

Why that Marine Logia smoker kid had said earlier…

that the one who was only five years old was, in fact, the most terrifying existence among everyone present!

Because…

this was the truth!

As the Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire field, it wiped out a full hundred-plus crew members of the Swamp Pirates.

Gradually.

Smoker, Tina, and the other trainees also woke up one after another.

"Still as reliable as ever!"

"Lu En, this monster, is terrifyingly strong."

"Having a monster like this as a comrade brings such an overwhelming sense of security."

"No matter how many times I witness the awe-inspiring might of Conqueror's Haki with my own eyes, it still delivers an incomparably powerful shock to the soul."

"This is a power that only those who have awakened the disposition of kings can master."

"…"

The group of trainees marveled on and on.

Hidden in the shadows, Zefa likewise showed an expression of astonishment.

"Looks like I don't need to lift a finger."

"At the very least, this kid Lu En has done far better than I ever could."

"If it were me…"

"I might not even have managed to wipe out a hundred men in such a brief moment."

Zefa sighed with deep emotion.

At this moment,

on the battlefield.

Lu En stared directly at the Swamp Fruit user Mo Lisen, his gaze carrying a hint of amusement and interest.

Meanwhile,

the latter slowly snapped out of his shock.

Mo Lisen fixed his eyes tightly on Lu En, filled with wariness.

Huh!

He let out a heavy breath,

forcibly suppressing his inner unease, gritted his teeth, and spoke coldly: "I admit, kid, you've given me quite a fright."

"But…"

"If you think your Conqueror's Haki alone can take me down, isn't that idea a little too naive?"

"Conqueror's Haki cannot intimidate someone like me!"

"Don't underestimate me, a great pirate with a bounty of one hundred million Berries!"

This roar vented Mo Lisen's inner dread.

He seemed to be psyching himself up.

Facing a wielder of Conqueror's Haki, Mo Lisen could only suppress his fear and meet his opponent with his strongest stance.

Besides,

he did not believe he would truly lose!

He was a natural-fruit user, after all!

How could he possibly lose to some five-year-old brat?

Even if the boy was a monster!

Yet Mo Lisen still did not think he would be defeated.

"Wielding Conqueror's Haki does not mean possessing great combat power."

"Conqueror's Haki is merely a tool to intimidate the weak."

"It has no effect on me!"

"That brat may not truly be able to defeat me."

Mo Lisen thought to himself.

He lifted his head,

his gaze cold as he stared at Lu En.

只见,

after Mo Lisen had vented his inner fury,

Lu En slowly raised three fingers.

Then,

before Mo Lisen's eyes, Lu En said: "Three punches! I'll crush you with three punches!"

As soon as he spoke,

Mo Lisen froze, stunned and bewildered.
