Chapter 458

There was no escape.

"No!"

As the massive fist drew ever closer, Mo Lisen let out a terrified scream, completely losing the arrogant, boastful demeanor he had shown before.

At this moment,

he felt an unprecedented sense of mortal peril.

This punch,

he would die!

The fist wrapped in black armor filled Mo Lisen with terror.

"Stop…"

"I surrender!"

"I yield!"

Mo Lisen's lips trembled as he cried out in a voice choked with fear.

Faced with the threat of death,

he was forced to surrender voluntarily.

Even if captured and sent to Impel Down…

he thought,

it was better than being killed on the spot.

To stay alive, what did it matter if he was locked away in a pitch-black prison?

Yet,

Mo Lisen's pleas received no response.

His terror grew worse.

"Stop! Stop now!"

Mo Lisen's eyes widened in sheer dread.

Right beneath his terrified gaze,

Lu En's fist, shrouded in Armament Haki, struck Mo Lisen's skull with full force.

In an instant,

Boom—

Immense power erupted all at once.

Mountain-shattering, ocean-reversing,

world-destroying, heaven-rending.

·· ·········Seeking flowers··· ·····

This terrifying force, like a long-dormant volcano finally erupting,

carried a destructive power intent on annihilating all things in the world.

Even the air and spatial currents writhed and trembled violently under the impact of this punch.

With a piercing sonic boom…

Puff!

Mo Lisen's entire head was mercilessly crushed into pulp on the spot.

Like a watermelon…

Instantly exploding,

red and white matter mingling.

A mist of blood danced through the air.

Blood stained the sky.

A vast, vivid crimson stain, mixed with countless shattered fragments of flesh and bone, sprayed and scattered in all directions.

A thick, acrid stench of blood spread swiftly in every direction.

Beyond Mo Lisen's exploded head, the shockwave from Lu En's punch slammed into a wall dozens of meters away, reducing the entire structure to dust and rubble.

Boom!

A deafening, earth-shattering roar.

Echoing to the heavens.

The wall dozens of meters away collapsed violently, crumbling into countless shards and debris.

Thus,

0.. 0

Mo Lisen was dead!

A pirate with a bounty of over one hundred million Berries, and a user of a Logia Devil Fruit…

Today,

he was brutally crushed by a single punch.

From start to finish, he had no chance to fight back.

He was utterly dominated.

He was slaughtered in an instant with overwhelming force.

Lu En's casual punch, in his serious state, instantly obliterated Mo Lisen.

For a long while,

Thud!

A dull sound slowly rose.

Only to see,

A cold, headless corpse slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a faint swirl of dust.

Blood sprayed into the air,

then fell steadily downward.

It soaked into the soil, merging with this land.

Afterwards,

Blood gushed wildly from the corpse.

Gradually,

It spread across the ground like a strange, glaring red makeup.

Mo Lisen's cold, headless corpse lay still and gruesome on the ground, motionless, its blood gradually turning pale.

Completely silent,

Life withered away.

Bending down,

Lu En silently stared at Mo Lisen's corpse, shook his blood-splattered right hand, and flung all the blood off it.

"A Logia Devil Fruit user?"

"A pirate with a bounty of one hundred million Berries?"

"Not much to speak of."

"That's it?"

Lu En gazed coldly at Mo Lisen's corpse, shook his head slightly, and sighed, "It seems I overestimated you after all."

"I originally planned to crush you with three punches."

"But I never imagined…"

"You're this weak!"

"You're a pirate with a hundred-million-Berry bounty, yet you couldn't even block two of my punches? The second punch blew you apart right on the spot."

"I truly misjudged your strength."

I thought Mo Lisen wouldn't be that weak.

A pirate with a hundred-million-Berry bounty…

Yet,

He couldn't even take two punches.
