Chapter 578: Baker Pirate Alliance! Conspiracy? Interesting! [8/10 Request Subscription]

It can be seen.

If there is no help.

This shipwreck survivor will surely die this time!

This sea never lacks Sea Kings.

However,

She has been somewhat lucky, having never encountered a Sea King, and has survived all the way to now.

This, one must admit, is her good fortune.

When seeing this female survivor, Lu En gazed at her with a deep, playful look, studying her intently.

"Shipwreck survivor?"

"It feels…"

"Off."

He thought to himself.

Then,

He steered the sailboat,

passing by the side of this shipwreck survivor.

Beside the railing deck.

Lu En could see.

This survivor was a young woman!

But her face was no longer visible.

Her hair, soaked in seawater, was wildly disheveled, completely obscuring her face.

And made it impossible to see clearly,

leaving only a blurred outline.

Preliminary estimate: "Zero Six Zero"…

Her looks should not be bad!

"Mr., save me."

"I just unfortunately encountered a shipwreck, causing our entire vessel to collapse, and all other crew members were killed. Please, Mr., save me—I can give you many Berries, just save my life!"

The female survivor gazed at Lu En, her eyes filled with pleading.

As if grasping the only lifeline.

On this sea, if no ship passes by here,

then,

her fate is nothing but death.

This is beyond doubt.

Not to mention whether she can hold out until a ship passes.

Just the Sea Kings beneath the sea,

are enough to plunge her into despair.

Now,

seeing Lu En, she naturally saw the only hope of survival.

For this,

she would pay any price.

He gave her a brief glance.

Then Lu En withdrew his gaze.

Next,

he curled his lips into a faint smile, his expression subtly meaningful.

This brief encounter,

had allowed him to understand several things.

At the very start,

he had used Observation Haki to scan her body.

Thus,

when Observation Haki enveloped her,

he could sense it.

Though this person appeared to be a pitiful shipwreck survivor,

in truth,

this survivor's strength,

even by the standards of the Grand Line, was not weak at all.

Just this one point was enough to reveal much.

A young woman, beautiful as a flower, conveniently appearing as a survivor,

whose strength was not insignificant,

and now,

she displayed this heartrending, pitiful expression, presenting herself as utterly defenseless.

These many signs.

Isn't the truth already clear?

Logically speaking.

Given Lu En's age of only five, even wearing the Navy's justice coat, his youthful age would normally not instill much fear in the woman before him.

If the woman herself had no ulterior motive, and was truly a shipwreck survivor, she would not beg Lu En pleadingly—she would immediately attack him and forcibly seize this sailboat.

That is the behavior of a normal person.

To survive roaming this sea…

Who among them could be ordinary?

Moreover,

She was a woman of considerable strength.

Under Lu En's Observation Haki,

he discovered.

The woman's life force intensity had reached a level comparable to that of a pirate worth tens of millions of Berries.

Though this power was not top-tier in the Grand Line, it was far from that of a low-level weakling.

How could a woman of this caliber, after a shipwreck, choose to beg pleadingly before Lu En?

Could there really be nothing wrong here?

Lu En naturally did not believe it.

However,

he found himself curiously eager to see.

What was her purpose?

To deliberately encounter him here after such elaborate effort…

For what?

What goal did she have?

Entrapment by deception?

Lu En pondered deeply, his gaze profound as he watched the shipwrecked woman.

Everything occurring at present seemed suspiciously coincidental.

He could not help but consider more.

But, grounded in absolute confidence in his own formidable strength,

Lu En feared no conspiracy or trickery this sea might throw at him.
