Chapter 660

He thought.

Lu En, only five years old, likely had no contact with the power called Overlord Haki.

Otherwise,

then the opponent would be far too monstrous!

"Even if he hasn't mastered Overlord Haki, the sheer strength of this brat's physical body is enough to let him sweep across this sea effortlessly."

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

"When he masters Overlord Haki, his strength will become terrifyingly powerful."

Huh!

With a heavy exhale, Kurokasa suppressed all the thoughts swirling in his head.

For the first time in his life…

Someone had slain a giant beast with pure physical strength!

And,

won!

Though the battle had halted, Kurokasa naturally saw through it.

Labu was merely a spent force.

The longer it continued, the worse Labu's injuries would become, until finally he was killed.

In contrast, that navy brat…

Grew stronger with every fight!

Showed not the slightest sign of fatigue.

From this, Kurokasa could judge the outcome of the battle.

"Thankfully this brat hasn't mastered Overlord Haki."

"Otherwise…"

"Labu would be finished!"

"A monster with such terrifying physical strength, once he masters Overlord Haki, will inevitably reach a level of power that is horrifyingly extreme."

"If he unleashes Overlord Haki…"

"With Labu's strength, he wouldn't last three minutes."

Kurokasa sighed.

This is better.

If a monster only five years old…

Had mastered Overlord Haki…

It would truly be against the laws of heaven!

Utterly intolerable by heaven's standards!

His physical strength being this powerful is already enough.

And he controls Overlord Haki?

Who could believe that?!

How are others supposed to survive?

How are the people of this sea supposed to live?

Thinking of this, Kurokasa couldn't help but shake his head and let out a light laugh.

This brat's strength is indeed terrifyingly extreme…

But at least,

for now, he still falls within the bounds of ordinary human reason, not excessively exaggerated.

"If this monster masters Overlord Haki…"

"It would be utterly against the laws of heaven!"

Kurokasa shook his head.

Then,

he gazed toward the peak of Inverted Mountain.

Soon,

he saw the pirate ship sliding down Inverted Mountain.

The skull flag, Gao Gaogua, fluttered in the wind.

Revealing the identity of this pirate ship!

"Pirates?"

"You really are…"

"Too lucky!"

"You couldn't have come earlier or later—you chose precisely this moment!"

"You've arrived at the perfect time!"

Kurokasa was speechless.

He didn't know whether to admire these pirates for their perfect timing…

Or to pity…

These pirates' misfortune!

They had precisely collided with the moment a monstrous navy brat arrived at Inverted Mountain.

This is fate!

"These pirates are finished."

"A monster of a navy officer who suppresses Laboon with sheer physical strength."

"To deal with this group of pirates who have clearly entered the Grand Line from the Four Seas..."

"It should be mostly no problem."

"These pirates are truly unlucky—just as they set out from the Four Seas to venture into the Grand Line, they ran into a navy officer worthy of the title 'monster.'"

"Poor things."

Kurokas shook his head.

With his years of experience and insight.

He could clearly see.

This "097" group of pirates are newcomers to the Grand Line.

Since they are newcomers to the Grand Line...

Their fate is already sealed.

They've encountered a monster who can brawl with Laboon!

They might as well give up!

Ultimately—

Under Lu En's gaze.

The massive pirate ship crashed down heavily.

Boom!

With a deafening roar.

At the moment the pirate ship fell from above and struck, it sent up enormous waves across the sea, ripples spreading wildly, turning the calm surface into a churning maelstrom.

Splash!

Countless droplets of seawater sprayed upward, then rained down from the horizon.

The sea surface rippled.

Seawater splashed and scattered.

Not long after,

As the sea surface gradually returned to calm.
