Chapter 662

They were now desperate to return to the West Sea, to be its local overlords, never daring to attempt the Grand Line again in their lives.

Just as they were preparing to set sail back to the West Sea.

A faint voice rang out.

"Is the Grand Line a place you can come and go as you please?"

"Since you're already here."

"How about…"

"You stay!"

"Stay on the Grand Line forever!"

The voice fell.

The whole scene fell silent!

Gulp!

A group of pirates swallowed hard.

Shasashasa!

They all turned their terrified gazes swiftly toward the direction the voice had come from.

Then,

They saw.

A bare-chested youth had, at some unknown moment, already appeared on their deck, watching them with an amused, playful expression.

Under the sunlight.

A golden halo of light spilled down from the edge of the sky….........

They saw clearly.

The youth's muscles bulged all over, and veins like centipedes crawled across nearly his entire upper body, bringing an overwhelming sense of terrifying pressure.

A back like a ghost's…

Like a brand left by a demon.

Ferocious,

Terrifying.

Hair-raising.

"Wh-when did he—?!"

The moment they saw the youth, a bone-chilling cold shot from the soles of their feet to the crown of their heads, making them shiver all over as goosebumps rose.

Including Phantom Thief Kasi.

Every single pirate was seized by terror and shock.

They stared dumbly at the youth.

That youth was, naturally, Lu En!

"Wh-what do you want to do?!"

"We have no grudge between us…"

A pirate asked in a trembling voice.

The scene of Lu En battling the Sea Kings lingered vividly in their minds, something they would likely never forget for the rest of their lives.

At the same time,

The horror of Lu En's strength was etched deep into their very bones!

Of course they knew.

Just what kind of terrifying monster this seemingly young youth truly was!

Therefore.

Standing before Lu En, they could not help but be gripped by dread.

"No grudge?"

"I'm a Marine. You're pirates."

"Arresting you…"

"Isn't that only natural?"

Lu En let out a short laugh.

"Y-you're a Marine?!"

Kasi's pupils shrank, his face drastically changing.

It's—it's over!

This monster…

Was actually a Marine!

As pirates, they had run into a monster of a Marine.

Tell me,

What would become of them?

The answer was obvious.

In an instant, as Lu En made his identity as a Marine clear.

Panic spread across the scene.

More than three hundred pirates were all swallowed by fear.

A thick terror welled up in their hearts, turning their faces pale as their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

"This kind of monster…"

"…actually came from the Yuhai Army!"

"B-boss, what do we do?"

A group of pirates stared in panic at their captain, Kasi.

"What do we do?"

"How the hell would I know what to do!"

"We can only grit our teeth and go for it!"

"At the very least…"

"Struggling might give us a slim chance of survival."

Kasi clenched his teeth, his face turning vicious.

"B-but…"

"That thing can fight Sea Kings barehanded!"

"Can we really defeat a being like that?"

All the pirates were deeply uneasy.

Lu En's overwhelming strength was etched into their very bones, impossible to forget.

To deal with a being like this…

They naturally couldn't help but feel panic rising in their hearts.

They didn't dare act rashly in the slightest.

"Actually, you don't have to agonize over this."

At this moment, Lu En smiled and spoke up, cutting into the conversation.

"W-what do you mean?!"

Kasi stared fixedly at Lu En, his throat bobbing once.

"No matter how you resist…"

"In the end, you'll all only have one outcome."

"And that is—being captured by me!"

Lu En gave a faint smile.

"Arrogant brat!"

Kasi was caught between shock and fury.

"Forget it."

"I'm not wasting any more time on you lot."
