Chapter 588

The enormous pressure that had been oppressing her finally dissipated like smoke.

Her legs went slightly weak, and she collapsed at the port's shore, constantly adjusting her own anxious and panicked state of mind, her hands still trembling faintly.

"He, has finally left."

After a long while, she blurted out in a tone full of horror, as if a great burden had been lifted.

Lu En, barely five years old, had brought her a sense of oppression far too intense.

So intense she didn't even dare speak too loudly.

"He's finally gone!"

"This great deity, we've finally sent him away."

"We're saved!"

"Today, we truly escaped from certain death!"

"It wasn't easy, crawling back from the gates of hell."

"If that lord had wanted to capture us, the Haizeilian Alliance, we wouldn't have had the strength to fight back."

"Big sis Lilith. From now on, whatever you do, you absolutely must think it through with your head first. So you don't, like today, bring back a top-tier monster of the sea for us!"

"God knows how scared I was just now—I almost wet myself from fright."

One pirate after another looked at Lilith with helplessness and complaint.

Seeing Lu En's departure,

the tension they had been holding finally began to slowly return to normal.

The fear in their hearts gradually faded.

After quite a while,

the eerie atmosphere here finally eased, just a little.

Just now,

a full two thousand-plus pirates…

had been thoroughly cowed into trembling fear by Lu En all on his own.

"I didn't expect it either."

Lilith was helpless.

"From now on, I'll do less of this sort of thing."

"It's too dangerous."

"If this time we hadn't happened to run into that Quan Mo Lu En, who didn't bear us too much ill will—if it had been some other Marine instead, we'd surely have been doomed today."

"Speaking of which, this Quan Mo Lu En really is terrifying. Standing in front of him just now, I could barely even breathe."

"The pressure he gave me was far more terrifying than that of those great pirates with bounties of several hundred million berries."

"……"

Everyone chimed in.

A group of pirates sighed with deep feeling.

A narrow escape from death…

left their hearts feeling utterly at ease and smooth.

"Good thing we only paid the price of one Devil Fruit."

"The Candle Fruit, though valuable, is clearly nothing compared to the survival of our Haizeilian Alliance."

"You can tell that lord already showed us mercy."

"If it had been any other Marine, they wouldn't have given us much time to explain. Because in the eyes of the vast majority of Marines, we pirates are utterly unforgivable!"

"Isn't that the truth."

"That lord, at the very least, bore us no ill will."

A group of pirates, still shaken, began to talk among themselves.

At the same time,

they also gradually began to comfort Lilith, who was now collapsed on the ground.

The pale faces of the two thousand-plus pirates began to recover.

Lilith included—she too gradually regained some strength, pushing off the ground with both hands to stand back up.

Just then.

A piece of news suddenly came spreading in.

0.............

It was seen that

a middle-aged pirate said in a trembling voice: "A few days ago, Quan Mo Lu En appeared at Ghost Town, arriving at the territory ruled by the Donquixote family."

"And on that very day, Quan Mo and the young master of the Donquixote family, Doflamingo, broke out in a fierce clash."

"Quan Mo versus Heavenly Yaksha!"

"One is the greatest genius in the history of the Marines, the other is a notorious great pirate of this sea, a terrifying existence with a bounty as high as 340 million berries."

"Their battle nearly sank half of Ghost Town!"

"The entire Ghost Town was riddled with holes, destroyed beyond recognition."

"In the end…"

"the two sides ended in a draw!"

"A battle ending in a tie!"

"Evenly matched!"

The words fell silent.

The entire venue plunged into deathly silence!

In an instant,

Once all the pirates realized what had happened, the atmosphere exploded into chaos.

The entire venue trembled!

"Good heavens!"

"Could it be that Don Quixote Doflamingo, the young master of the Donquixote Family, failed to defeat Quan Mo Lu En, this five-year-old boy?"

"Is this real?"

"He's a notorious sea pirate with a bounty of 340 million Berries! Even he couldn't defeat Quan Mo Lu En?"

"Unbelievable!"

"Don Quixote Doflamingo, the Night Sky Demon, is a long-renowned supreme sea power, a true sea pirate. Yet even a monster of his caliber couldn't crush Quan Mo Lu En?"

"Could this five-year-old Fist Demon really be this strong?!"

"This is simply astonishing!"

After hearing the news, every pirate in the venue was deeply shaken and lost their composure.

At this moment,

Lilith's eyes went blank, frozen like a statue.

After a long while,

She opened her mouth, involuntarily blurting out: "Before this, I actually mistook this monster for an easy target? I must be insane!"
