Chapter 636

His most powerful technique…

Was neutralized by pure physical strength.

This left him speechless.

No excuse, no rebuttal possible.

The natural disasters he created…

Were all blocked by pure physical force.

What could he say now?

Not even a lie to comfort himself.

In short.

Just a few words.

Outclassed in skill!

Speechless.

On the other side.

"My lord, the sandstorm has vanished."

"Our Alabasta Kingdom is saved."

"We walked through the gates of death."

Each guard stood frozen, faces filled with shock, terror, and relief.

Seeing the sandstorm vanish, they were shaken—and deeply relieved.

If this sandstorm had not disappeared…

Then…

The next to suffer might have been Alabasta Kingdom itself.

We have no such terrifying means to forcibly block a natural disaster's erosion and assault.

And at that time…

Alabasta Kingdom's fate would have been to be ravaged by this colossal sandstorm, ultimately destroyed.

Even…

From the very moment this sandstorm formed…

Kobra had already resigned himself to his final plan.

But he never imagined…

A sandstorm capable of destroying heaven and earth was entered alone by a five-year-old boy, who suppressed and shattered it with unimaginable supreme power.

At this moment…

Kobra realized…

That…

This sea still harbors such terrifyingly powerful top-tier experts!

Strong beyond comprehension!

Stronger than human!

"L-Lived…!"

"Alabasta Kingdom will not face annihilation."

Kobra's throat was dry; he spoke with a trembling voice.

As that guard beside him had just said…

Just now, Alabasta Kingdom truly walked through the gates of death.

Wan Xing…

We ultimately survived.

All of it was because of a terrifying being, only five years old!

Precisely because of him…

Alabasta Kingdom was able to survive.

Otherwise…

Faced with such a terrifying natural disaster, we would have been utterly helpless.

"So incredibly strong!"

"Human strength can reach this level?!"

"Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it in my lifetime."

"In this world…"

"There truly exists such a being, whose human power rivals the gods."

"Even more terrifying—he is only five years old!"

"Too monstrous."

"Such a monster, even across this entire sea, must be exceedingly rare."

Kobra marveled endlessly.

As the sandstorm vanished, his despair dissolved completely.

The burden of being king naturally vanished without a trace.

As king of Alabasta, he bore the lives of every subject in his kingdom.

Now…

This pressure could finally be relieved.

"He is our Alabasta Kingdom's savior!"

"A terrifying being who, with nothing but a mortal body, rivals the gods through sheer personal strength. Our Alabasta Kingdom must spare no cost to cultivate goodwill with such a being."

"This is undoubtedly a matter of pure benefit with no downside."

"But…"

"Just who is that boy, He Fangshensheng?!"

Kobra's eyes went blank.

What he had deemed impossible.

Had just occurred before his eyes.

Right now.

His shock, of course, could not recover so quickly.

Beside him.

Hundreds of elite guards spontaneously voiced words filled with awe.

"That being must surely be a top-tier powerhouse famed across the seas!"

"The terrifying part is he is only five years old."

"At just five years old, he wields such terrifying power—it is unimaginable."

"…"

A moment later.

Under all eyes.

(Only to see.)

Lu En, at the heart of the sandstorm, slowly turned around, retracted the Armament Color armor covering his arms, and walked toward Crocodile.

The disappearance of the sandstorm…

Meant that…

This clash between him and Crocodile…

He won!

Won spectacularly!

He defeated Crocodile with overwhelming dominance throughout nearly the entire fight!

Although he did not severely wound Crocodile.

But, in a certain sense,

It amounted to delivering Crocodile a crushing blow.
