Chapter 585: It

"Fist Demon!"

"I actually brought back the Fist Demon Lu En as if he were a fat sheep?"

"This!"

Lilyis felt a creeping numbness in her scalp.

I've gone too far!

This is it—we're done for!

That's the Fist Demon!

A top-tier powerhouse renowned across this sea.

One of the most terrifying monsters at the very peak of the ocean.

Moreover, the strongest genius in naval history.

A universally acknowledged monstrous terror of the sea!

This very kind of being…

Previously,

She had treated him as a fat sheep!

Just thinking of it sent shivers of dread through her.

"Lu En…"

"So this monster had already revealed his identity."

"Yet I was foolish enough to see him as a fat sheep."

"I'm the real idiot!"

Lilyis was filled with deep regret.

Of course, the name Fist Demon Lu En had struck her like thunder.

He was the one who crushed Bai Huzi the Second!

A being with terrifying combat power, a sea pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions of Berries at just five years old.

This very monster was now brought back to the Haizeilian Alliance's headquarters.

She was utterly hopeless.

Though the Beck Haizeilian Alliance was vast in scale,

in truth,

should it encounter a true top-tier monster, the entire alliance would become shockingly fragile.

Clearly,

before the Fist Demon Lu En, the Beck Haizeilian Alliance was as fragile as a swarm of ants.

The two were incomparable!

At this moment,

Lu En, leaning on the railing of the sailboat's deck, smiled wryly at Lilyis and asked, "Now, do you know who I am?"

With those words spoken,

Lilyis's pink lips parted, but she could not speak.

She now knew Lu En's identity.

Precisely because of this,

her fear of Lu En expanded infinitely.

At this moment, she dared not even meet Lu En's gaze.

"L-Lieutenant Commander my lord…"

"I was blind and ignorant, failing to recognize Mount Taishan."

"Please spare us."

"We swear we've never killed a single innocent good person. All we've slain were ruthless pirates—never ordinary civilians."

"Moreover,"

"most of the gold, silver, and jewels we've plundered over the years have been used to aid those in need."

"If you don't believe me, you can investigate!"

"As a Lieutenant Commander of the Navy Headquarters, you must know something about the Beck Haizeilian Alliance. Every word I just spoke is true—there is not a single lie."

Taking a deep breath, Lilyis looked at Lu En with a face full of anxiety and spoke.

At this point,

she could only grit her teeth and press on.

Otherwise,

she feared she'd have no chance to explain later.

After all,

she knew full well what a terrifyingly powerful being this five-year-old naval officer truly was!

If this man decided to strike the Beck Haizeilian Alliance…

They would be utterly unable to resist!

This was beyond doubt.

The only path to survival was to beg for his mercy and forgiveness.

This was the only way!

"I've certainly heard the name of your Beck Haizeilian Alliance."

"Otherwise…"

"You don't actually think that the current you still has the right to stand before me and speak, do you?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you haven't been killing innocents, all of you would already have been wiped out."

Lu En spoke lightly.

He had naturally heard something of the fame of the Beck Pirate Alliance.

It was indeed just as Lilith had described.

This was a very eccentric pirate alliance.

They hadn't done any evil deeds…

At most, they had looted merchant ships.

That was all.

They wouldn't harm ordinary people, let alone slaughter innocents, nor did they, like other pirate crews, burn and plunder those villages and towns.

On the contrary.

Over the years, they had also killed quite a few pirate crews who had been committing evil deeds.

Simply put.

Although the Beck Pirate Alliance bore the name of pirates, what they did was more like a group of chivalrous men acting righteously.

Regarding this,

Lu En didn't feel it appropriate to judge too much.

He couldn't judge whether these people's actions were good or bad.

But, he truly had no intention of arresting these people.

Setting that aside.

He still had to head to Alabasta, and didn't have much time to delay here.

Even if he had the time…

He felt.

Given his temperament, he wouldn't truly arrest this entire group of pirates.

After all.

This stretch of sea was already harsh enough.

Pirates who could restrain themselves and not slaughter innocents were already extremely rare people.

If these people were arrested…

The sea would become even more extreme and barren.

"M-my lord."

"We had no intention of provoking you; we simply didn't know your identity."

"If I had known your identity, naturally I wouldn't have dared to deceive you."

Lilith was uneasy.

"I remember I just said."

"Let me escort you safely back to the Beck Islands, and I need to receive due compensation."

Lu En smiled.

Hearing this,

Lilith's expression went blank.

Obviously,
