Chapter 618

"Trying to mystify!"

He let out a cold snort, his icy gaze locked on Lu En.

It seems…

He had already found his excuse and justification.

"You don't believe me?"

"Fine."

"Then next…"

"I'll let you see for yourself."

"Your Logia ability is truly powerless before me!"

"I'm going serious now."

Lu En's smile vanished.

Then,

He unleashed the surging power within his body.

Vast power surged violently, rushing from his core to his limbs.

Next,

one could see.

A black, ink-like liquid substance rapidly coiled around his arms.

Soon after,

the black liquid solidified.

Thus,

a layer of black armor firmly encased his hands, radiating an overwhelmingly sharp aura of pressure.

Unbreakable,

like Jin Gangshi!

Smooth and translucent,

cold and menacing.

It gave off an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Armament Color, activated!"

At this moment,

Lu En had truly, fully activated Armament Color.

No longer like before…

merely casually channeling Armament Color.

After fully activating Armament Color, Lu En felt an endless surge of powerful energy flowing through his arms.

This power gave him a delusion.

If he exerted even slightly more force,

a single punch might crush and sink an area thousands of meters wide!

Just like,

on that day in Devil Town, at the casino owned by the Donquixote Family, Lu En had unleashed a full-power punch that sank the entire area of several thousand meters.

Causing the casino to shatter and collapse.

This was the destructive power Lu En could unleash with full Armament Color activation.

Terrifying beyond measure!

Unparalleled in strength!

Even Doflamingo at the time dared not block Lu En's punch head-on.

Think of it.

The sheer terror of the power Lu En could unleash with full Armament Color.

"Armament Color…"

As Lu En fully activated Armament Color, Crocodile's eyes grew even more filled with wariness.

He faintly sensed a sense of crisis.

From the Armament Color armor covering Lu En's fists…

He smelled the threat of death!

"Strong!"

"This brat's Armament Color is terrifyingly powerful."

"Unimaginable…"

"A mere five-year-old child, wielding Armament Color at this level?"

"Is this the Fist Demon Lu En? The greatest genius in Marine history! The most terrifying monster of the seas!"

Crocodile's heart was heavy.

He hadn't felt such intense pressure in a long time.

Yet today,

from a five-year-old child, he felt once again the crushing weight of pressure.

Just like,

back when he himself had not yet reached his peak period, carrying a Logia Devil Fruit, bold and confident, roaming in the New World, challenging all strong opponents.

But at that moment,

he encountered an extremely terrifying monster.

Known as the strongest man in the world, Bai Huzi, Edward Newgate.

Thus,

he was defeated.

His first defeat in life.

A crushing defeat!

He fled in panic!

He desperately escaped back to the first half of the Grand Line.

From then on,

Bai Huzi became the nightmare in Crocodile's heart, the thing he hated most in his life, wishing someday to kill him with his own hands.

However.

The psychological trauma Bai Huzi had inflicted upon him back then still could not be forgotten, even to this day.

And on this very day,

facing the five-year-old Lu En before him, Crocodile felt it.

The same feeling he had faced back then when confronting Bai Huzi.

Although the pressure Lu En exerted on him was nowhere near as terrifying as Bai Huzi's,

it was still extremely close!

Thinking of this, his dread toward Lu En grew even heavier.

"This monster…"

"Extremely dangerous!"

"From now on, I can't hold back anymore."

"I must go all out from the very start."

"Otherwise, the one who dies will surely be me!"

Crocodile thought to himself.

He simply could not imagine it.

A five-year-old brat could be this strong!
