Chapter 535

Veins on his forehead throbbed wildly, revealing his extreme fury.

His gaze shifted.

His eyes froze coldly on Lu En.

Killing intent surged.

Killing intent rose and fell.

It was clear…

Right now, he longed to tear the Lu En right before his eyes apart alive.

"Possessing Conqueror's Haki, one in a million…"

"You brat, who are you?!"

"Why would a powerhouse like you come causing trouble at my place?"

Doflamingo's voice was icy and sinister, brimming with malice.

Behind him,

came the terrified cry of his subordinate Trebol: "Master, the five-year-old navy brat before you is none other than the infamous — Fist Demon Lu En!"

His voice boomed,

echoing in all directions.

Upon hearing Trebol's words,

Doflamingo's pupils shrank slightly, his expression shifting subtly.

In an instant, his spirit reeled.

No wonder!

No wonder he'd felt a flicker of familiarity with this brat earlier.

So that's it!

Everything suddenly became clear.

After a long pause,

Doflamingo exhaled heavily.

He had finally understood everything.

Why he'd felt a faint sense of familiarity from the Lu En right before his eyes.

It was because…

The man before him was the infamous Fist Demon!

The most terrifying genius in navy history!

A supreme powerhouse of the sea in his youth.

Renowned as the most terrifying monster of the seas!

At this moment,

Doflamingo forcibly suppressed his inner shock and stared at Lu En with deep wariness.

"Fist Demon Lu En?"

"I never expected…"

"It's you!"

After Lu En's identity was revealed,

Doflamingo's wariness of Lu En surged steadily, climbing to its peak!

He knew well.

Though the Lu En right before his eyes appeared young and frail, his tiny body concealed an immensely terrifying power.

A force capable of shattering heaven and earth!

A five-year-old frame capable of overturning this entire sea!

Possessing combat strength equal to that of a navy vice admiral.

Even.

He had defeated and captured Whitebeard II, a pirate of that caliber on the sea.

Think about it.

How powerful was the Fist Demon Lu En!

Facing a monster of this level, even the arrogant and reckless Doflamingo dared not harbor the slightest contempt toward Lu En.

"According to rumors,"

"Edward Weeble, Bai Huzi II, carries the bloodline of the strongest man in the world, Bai Huzi, and wields the same immense power Bai Huzi had in his youth."

"Even I would have no absolute guarantee of defeating such a monster."

"Yet this monster, the Fist Demon Lu En, defeated and captured Bai Huzi II alone, sending him to the underwater prison, Impel Down."

Thinking of this, Doflamingo's wariness of Lu En grew stronger.

This was an extremely terrifying powerhouse!

Strong!

Extremely strong!

So strong that Doflamingo, for a moment, dared not move.

At this moment,

He was fully prepared.

He was on full alert.

Fully focused,

Completely absorbed.

Meanwhile,

Lu En, positioned opposite Doflamingo, let out a light chuckle upon hearing the latter's words: "It seems you've recognized my identity."

"That's fine…"

"Saves me the trouble of introducing myself later."

With those words spoken,

Doflamingo's eyelids twitched wildly.

He demanded: "Why have you come to cause trouble on my territory? This is the territory of the Donquixote Family—don't you Marines know that?"

There has always been an unwritten rule across this sea.

The Marines never go to great lengths to capture the strongest of the great pirates.

Such a backbreaking, thankless task…

Even the Marines rarely undertake it.

Therefore,

Doflamingo could not understand.

Why had the Marines sent this monster, Fist Demon, to Devil's Town—a territory belonging to the Donquixote Family? What exactly did they intend to do?

After much thought, he could not arrive at any conclusion.

He was utterly baffled.

Had it not been for his fear of Lu En's formidable combat power, Doflamingo would never have engaged him in further conversation.

But Lu En's strength was too great!

Doflamingo could only lock eyes with Lu En, unwilling to strike first unless absolutely necessary.

Lu En was strong!

Lu En, who had single-handedly defeated and captured Bai Huzi II, gave Doflamingo little confidence he could overcome him.

Of course,

Doflamingo had great confidence in his own strength.

He firmly believed,

Even if he could not crush Lu En, he would never lose to him!
