Chapter 583

Sensing the eerie atmosphere on site,

she dared not make a single move.

She stared blankly at Lu En.

Then,

she looked again at her companions on the shore, their faces blank.

She was stunned.

What on earth had happened?

Why had everyone become so strange?

"They're all staring at him?"

"Is it because of him?"

"This brat…"

"Could it be!"

Lily's pink lips trembled, her beautiful eyes filled with terror.

At this moment,

she could see clearly.

All these companions at the harbor, their gazes were fixed solely on Lu En.

And unconsciously…

they had ignored her presence entirely.

Seeing this,

how could someone as sharp-witted as her not understand what had happened?

The culprit behind this eerie atmosphere…

was clearly this five-year-old brat named Lu En!

A five-year-old navy officer!

"Who… who are you?"

Thinking this, Lily involuntarily stepped back half a pace, her gaze toward Lu En brimming with dread and unease.

Even if she were the dumbest…

she could still sense the strange atmosphere.

And the root of all this…

aside from the Lu En before her…

she could think of no other possibility!

"Didn't I already introduce myself from the start?"

"You can't have forgotten my name so quickly, can you?"

Facing Lily's terrified expression, Lu En's smile held a deeper meaning.

Thinking about your identity now?

Isn't that a little too late?

"Lu… Lu En…"

Lily's pupils shrank.

In that moment,

her mind raced frantically.

Is there a great pirate named Lu En in the Grand Line?

No!

There is absolutely no great pirate named Lu En!

Racking her brain,

she could not recall any great pirate bearing the name Lu En!

"What is your purpose?"

Lily's heart pounded as she retreated to the railing,

she had nowhere left to retreat.

"That's an interesting question."

"After all, didn't you ask me to bring you here?"

"Now I've done exactly that. But after delivering you to your destination, you turn around and ask me what I intend to do? How am I supposed to answer your ridiculous question?"

"I don't recall asking you to bring me to this Baker Island."

"You brought me here entirely on your own initiative."

Isn't that right?"

Lu En let out a dry laugh.

Lily had no reply.

Turning her head,

she looked at the two thousand-plus motionless pirate companions at the harbor, then demanded of Lu En: "Then why have they become like this?"

Lu En smiled faintly: "That's something you need to ask yourself. Think carefully—what did you do to provoke them into showing such vacant expressions?"

"Ask myself?"

Lily was nearly driven mad.

She racked her brains but could not come up with any answer.

"Yes, this question needs you to ask yourself."

"Ask you..."

"What kind of person you brought back to the entire Baker Archipelago!"

Lu En smiled.

"What kind of person..."

Lilith looked around nervously.

The person you brought back,

isn't it...

"You!"

"Who are you?!"

"Just who the hell are you?!"

Lilith's expression subtly changed.

Thus,

the question returned to the very beginning.

To the very question she had first asked Lu En!

"Don't ask me..."

"Now, why don't you ask them?"

Lu En's gaze turned toward the group of pirates at the harbor, his eyes deep and teasing.

Instantly,

Lilith's face turned pale with fear.

Without delay,

she leapt down from the deck.

She walked steadily to the edge of the shore.

Back on land.

Her heart felt no peace—instead, it grew even more terrified.

Only when she saw up close the pirates' terrified expressions could she truly grasp how

terrified these people were!

"What's wrong with you all?"

"Speak up!"
