Chapter 544

It goes without saying.

Seeing the scene of Lu En and Doflamingo clashing so fiercely, Pica naturally knew.

Once he chose to fight Lu En, his fate would surely be certain death!

Moreover...

There was even an extremely high chance he would be crushed and killed in an utterly dominating fashion!

In any case,

Pica could see no chance of victory whatsoever from Lu En.

Lu En was far too strong.

So strong it left Pica in utter despair.

"A mere five-year-old brat..."

"How could he possibly be this powerful!"

"Truly beyond imagination."

Pica drew a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the unease and pounding in his heart.

Shifting the topic,

he had to admit one thing.

"Praised as the greatest genius in the history of the Marines — the name truly lives up to its reputation."

"Quan Mo Lu En is indeed an utterly terrifying genius-monster!"

These words,

even Trebol could not refute.

Even though he firmly believed his own young master Doflamingo would not lose.

Yet the fact he could not refute was...

Lu En was, without question, extremely strong!

Otherwise,

the other party could not have fought his own revered young master Doflamingo to a near-deadlock.

Neither side could suppress the other.

Neither side could do anything to the other.

"If this keeps up, who do you think will win?"

Diamante suddenly spoke up and asked.

"Hard to say."

Pica's heart was heavy.

He had originally thought.

That once his own young master Doflamingo personally took the field, it would surely be a trivial matter easily handled.

As long as a certain amount of time was spent,

he could steadily take down Quan Mo Lu En.

But now.

After seeing the scene of the two sides clashing,

he had changed his original view.

He had misjudged one thing.

And that was...

Quan Mo Lu En, this monster, was extraordinarily strong!

Even someone as strong as his own young master Doflamingo might not truly be able to take him down with absolute certainty.

Even if in the end he really did take him down...

It would surely come at an extremely painful, enormous cost!

"Young master, you must win!"

"He's nothing but a mere brat..."

"You, however, are the born ruler of this sea!"

"I've always believed — you are the man destined to become the Pirate King!"

"And as the future Pirate King, how could you possibly face defeat here? How could you possibly lose to a mere five-year-old brat?"

"That — is absolutely impossible!"

Trebol, one of the top executives and a loyal supporter of Doflamingo, was seen with beads of anxious sweat beginning to form on his forehead.

Revealing...

At this moment, the extreme tension and deep unease within his heart.
