Chapter 587

"I'm very satisfied with this gift of yours."

"It's not wasted effort, me going to such lengths to save your life."

After putting away the Candle Fruit, Lu En turned toward Lilyth and smiled brightly.

Seeing this,

Lilyth couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

She had literally picked up a stone only to smash her own foot!

Now,

she had truly suffered heavy losses!

A priceless Devil Fruit had just been given away by her own hand.

But, if she hadn't given it away,

she had a premonition.

the Beck Haizeilian Alliance might truly face annihilation today!

At this very moment,

exchanging a single Devil Fruit for the survival rights of the Beck Haizeilian Alliance…

in her view,

this deal was still extremely worthwhile.

If she hadn't paid a sufficient price…

Lilyth didn't believe

the Beck Haizeilian Alliance could continue to survive.

After all,

this great deity had been lured here by her lies.

She had tricked him into coming to the Beck Islands, thinking him an easy mark.

In the end—

she had learned the truth with bitter regret.

It turned out…

she had tricked herself into bringing back a true boss!

A top-tier powerhouse of the Grand Line!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel utterly helpless.

She regretted it deeply!

She shouldn't have provoked a monster like the Fist Demon, Lu En.

The Candle Fruit had cost her a tremendous price to obtain.

Who would have thought

that today, she'd have to use it to avert the Beck Haizeilian Alliance's doom.

"As long as the Rear Admiral is satisfied, that's all that matters."

Lilyth took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her emotions.

"Never again, casually provoke strangers."

"Because…"

"You never know what kind of terrifying being a seemingly ordinary stranger truly is!"

Lu En gazed at Lilyth with a smile.

Today's Candle Fruit…

would serve as her lesson.

After all,

from the very beginning, he had no intention of destroying the Beck Haizeilian Alliance.

The Grand Line must always have some who possess a sense of justice.

Moreover,

although Lu En was a Marine, he was not one of those rigid, old-fashioned Marines.

Marines capturing pirates is only natural…

but Lu En captured pirates purely based on his mood.

When he was in a good mood, he'd capture whoever he pleased.

When he was in a bad mood…

all bets were off.

"Don't use such low-level tricks to fish for targets…"

"You won't always be this lucky."

Lu En said with deep implication.

Hearing this,

Lilyth smiled bitterly and said nothing.

She couldn't help but mentally grumble.

Who could have imagined…

that in these waters near Reverse Mountain, a monster of your caliber would appear?!

The irony was that,

This kind of monster just happened to be the one she ran into.

She suddenly felt.

She probably didn't check the almanac before setting sail today.

This once-in-a-millennium stroke of bad luck just happened to be hers.

"My lord, this sea isn't one where just anyone can be as terrifying as you."

"Someone like you… a monster…"

"Across this entire sea, you can count such people on one hand."

Lily thought.

Her inner thoughts were the same as those of the two thousand plus pirates beside her.

"Enough."

"For now, I'll let you off."

"Next time, don't let me hear that the Baker Haizeilian Alliance has been committing crimes."

"Otherwise, I'll come back for you."

"I'll take this Devil Fruit as your thanks for today."

Lu En let out a loud laugh.

Then,

right before the eyes of these pirates,

he steered the sailboat farther and farther away, not lingering a moment longer at the harbor shore.

Carrying the Candle Fruit…

steering the sailboat,

gradually sailing into the endless open sea.

Soon after,

Lu En and the entire sailboat vanished completely, gone without a trace from Lily's sight.

Following the direction of the Record Compass…

heading straight for Alabasta!

Watching Lu En's retreating figure, Lily finally exhaled heavily, instinctively raising her slender, pale right arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Phew!
