Chapter 525: Finally Revealed! The Encounter with Doflamingo! [3/10 Request Subscription]

As Lu En's voice fell.

The atmosphere grew even more lifeless.

Not a sound!

The more than two thousand pirates present all stared, without exception, with eyes filled with terror, shock, and horror, fixed on Lu En's figure.

Their gazes shifted.

They looked again.

At the grotesque, unblinking head on the nearby gambling table, still alive in death.

And…

That cold, severed-arm, headless corpse.

After seeing all this, the pirates felt a chill surge from their soles to the crown of their heads, making their scalps tingle, their bones tremble, and their blood run cold.

"I—I can't believe it!"

"Is this even real?"

"A pirate with a bounty of forty-seven million Berries was instantly killed in a flash?!"

"Unbelievable!"

"A pirate nearing fifty million Berries had his head taken in a single glance."

"Are you kidding? This must be a dream!"

One by one, the pirates were shaken to their cores, revealing their inner terror.

They were stunned.

Originally,

they had expected to witness a grand spectacle.

A spectacle, naturally, of a young navy brat being brutally torn apart.

But,

what they never imagined…

In the end—

the one who died was not the navy brat.

It was "043,"

Disarmed Derry!

A pirate with a bounty nearing fifty million Berries!

And he was killed in a single blow!

The entire process was too fast for even them to see.

By the time they reacted, all they saw was Derry's cold, headless corpse, lying heavily on the ground, grotesque and terrifying.

In the deathly silence,

Glug!

A group of pirates involuntarily swallowed hard, their eyes locked in fearful fixation on Lu En.

At this moment,

the five-year-old Lu En brought them an unparalleled, crushing pressure.

Among them,

including Black King Lu Ke, Magician Finks, and other five-million-Berry pirates, all felt a powerful sense of pressure and dread emanating from Lu En.

They dared not move, frozen in place, faces twisted with fear and suspicion.

"This kid…"

"Who the hell is he?!"

"Derry was no weakling—he was nearly as strong as we are. Yet this powerful pirate was killed in a single blow by that kid?"

"Can you believe that?"

Lu Ke was deeply shaken, his expression utterly broken.

Beside him,

Finks nodded in grim agreement.

What he didn't say…

Just now,

even he couldn't see how Derry was killed!

What did that mean?!

That meant,

if he had been in Derry's place just now, his fate would have been no different—he would be dead too.

The thought sent shivers of dread through Finks.

"This kid… isn't ordinary!"

"Strong! Extremely strong!"

"He killed Derry in a single glance. That kind of power, even across this entire sea, qualifies as top-tier."

"What's unimaginable is…"

"He's only five years old!"

"When did the Navy produce such a terrifying monster?!"

Finks spoke, his throat dry, voice trembling.

With Doflamingo being killed in a single exchange…

The more than two thousand pirates on the scene no longer dared to act rashly against Lu En.

They stared at Lu En with faces full of panic, anxiety, and fear.

For a moment,

the vast casino's atmosphere turned exceedingly strange.

The pirates who had been gloating, waiting to watch Lu En make a fool of himself, now found that ridiculous notion completely extinguished.

"How can a five-year-old brat be this powerful?!"

"It's simply world-shocking!"

"Even Doflamingo couldn't withstand a single exchange and was instantly killed."

"Oh heavens!"

A group of pirates lost their composure, their faces turning pale.

Thus,

pairs of anxious eyes, as if by unspoken agreement, turned toward Pica.

As one of the Donquixote Family's highest-ranking officers, and the guardian of order in this casino, with something like this happening, they could only place their hopes on Pica.

"This is the Donquixote Family's turf."

"Don't forget, Heavenly Yaksha Donquixote Doflamingo is stationed here!"

"No matter how strong a mere Marine is, could he really overturn the entire Donquixote Family?"

"This casino is run by the Donquixote Family; spending here naturally means we get their protection. If they can't even handle something like this, the Donquixote Family would be far too cheap."

"That Marine just slapped the Donquixote Family's face in public. As the hegemon of the underworld, how could the Donquixote Family swallow that insult?"

"They will definitely retaliate viciously!"

"Next, we just need to wait for the show."

Thinking of this, the pirates couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The terrifying pressure Lu En had brought made their hearts pound with fear just moments ago.

But now,

they suddenly remembered.

This casino is the Donquixote Family's turf!

Causing trouble here…

Isn't that the same as slapping the Donquixote Family's face?

How could the Qi Society let it go at that?

"Right, did you guys hear that just now?"

"That little brat…"

"He actually dared to declare in public, telling the Donquixote Family's young master Donquixote Doflamingo to come out?"

"He's completely mad!"

"That's Heavenly Yaksha Donquixote Doflamingo!"

"A great pirate with a bounty of over three hundred million Berries!"

"Even in the terrifying seas of the New World, Heavenly Yaksha Donquixote Doflamingo's fearsome reputation is like thunder in one's ears."

"With a great pirate of this caliber stationed here, why would we worry about a mere Marine? I believe this Marine won't walk out of this casino later."

"You crossed the Donquixote Family and still want to leave? It's not that simple."

Chatter flew everywhere.

All the pirates felt waves of shock at Lu En daring to publicly challenge Donquixote Doflamingo.

At the same time.

As one of the Donquixote Family's highest-ranking officers, Pica naturally also heard Lu En's words.

At the same time,

he also witnessed the scene of Doflamingo being instantly killed by Lu En.

Therefore,

regarding Lu En, Pica likewise did not dare to be careless or take him lightly.

He put away his earlier contempt for Lu En, summoned all his focus, and stared coldly at Lu En with eyes full of wariness and fury.

That line Lu En had just said—telling Donquixote Doflamingo to come out…

Those words had severely struck Pica's inner taboo!
