Chapter 622

This is naturally impossible!

At least.

Crocodile refused to believe it.

There still exists someone in this sea who could accomplish such an astonishing feat.

No one can withstand a natural disaster with their bare flesh!

A mortal body...

How could it possibly challenge the authority of the gods?

Is this a joke?

Even if this person is incredibly strong!

They would still be no exception.

Taking all of the above into account.

Crocodile concluded.

Lu En, who dares to enter the sandstorm with bare hands and a mortal body, will face a certain death.

"Even I cannot forcibly control this sandstorm..."

"Yet you dare to enter it alone?"

"Could it be..."

"You intend to destroy this sandstorm I created with nothing but your bare hands?"

"Do you truly believe this is possible? Is this realistic?"

"Don't make me laugh!"

"Forget you're just a five-year-old brat—even if you were Bai Huzi, without using your Devil Fruit ability, you could never destroy the sandstorm I created."

"This is a natural disaster!"

"Boy, you're awfully arrogant."

Crocodile sneered repeatedly.

Under his gaze,

he saw.

At this moment,

Lu En had already reached the edge of the sandstorm...

Up close,

he could feel an immensely powerful tearing force emanating from within the sandstorm, attempting to suck and drag Lu En's body inside to destroy and ravage it.

Countless flying sands and rolling stones spiraled around the outer rim of the sandstorm.

Boom—!

The entire ground trembled faintly.

Standing at the edge of the sandstorm, Lu En could feel the terror of this natural disaster.

Countless air currents were drawn and influenced by the sandstorm...

The wind howled fiercely.

Gusts of wind whipped up dust from the ground.

For a moment,

dust rolled in thick clouds,

soil swirled everywhere.

Lu En's figure became faint and indistinct beneath the veil of flying sand.

The wind whipped at Lu En's hair and clothing.

The white Navy justice coat draped over his back was already stained with dust and grime.

But the words "Justice" remained glaringly prominent.

"A natural disaster?"

Feeling the terrifying pressure radiating from the sandstorm, Lu En was not frightened—he was delighted. A look of anticipation spread across his face, his eyes gleaming with madness as his violent instincts surged fully to the surface.

The more difficult something is...

For him,

the more excited he became!

The more he wanted to challenge it!

The gale struck his face, causing a faint stinging pain.

Soon after,

a thin cut appeared on his cheek.

A wound torn open by the sandstorm's air currents.

Even the outer air currents of the sandstorm carried such terrifying power.

It was easy to imagine.

The power hidden within the sandstorm's core would surely be even more horrific!

Lu En could feel it.

The desert beneath his feet had been affected by the sandstorm, showing signs of sinking and collapsing, becoming exceptionally fragile.

Around him,

countless fragments of sand and stone danced wildly.

Lu En seemed to be standing at the very center of a violent vortex.

Every single moment…

He was being torn at and pulled by a terrifying current of air.

As if wanting to drag him into the sandstorm and grind him to death.

"With this fleshly body…"

"Can I really withstand a natural disaster head-on?"

Lu En narrowed his eyes slightly.

He believed—

He definitely could!

At the very least,

He was confident he could do it!

For example, 3.5

Bare-handed, he would crush the sandstorm right before his eyes!

He would forcibly destroy and obliterate this natural disaster!

"I'll use these iron fists of mine…"

"To smash apart this so-called natural disaster!"

"The authority of the gods…"

"Is it truly impossible for a mere mortal fleshly body to resist?"

"I don't believe it."

Lu En burst into laughter and rose to his feet.

At once.

He clenched both fists tight, black Armament Haki armor coiling completely around both arms.

An endless stream of power surged up from within his body,

And terrifyingly extreme force gathered into his two fists.

The power surging in his fists grew ever stronger and more terrifying.

Like a volcano that had been building for ages.

In an instant,

Lu En's body leapt up.

He shot toward the sky dozens of meters high.

Fists clenched tight,
