Chapter 665

"Annihilated by a five-year-old monster."

"I shouldn't have stepped onto the Grand Line, of all things."

"Who would have thought this stretch of the Grand Line was so dangerous and terrifying?"

"Even a mere five-year-old brat has grown strong to an almost inconceivable degree."

"I'm so sorry!"

Captain Kass's heart was filled with regret.

If only I had known… 100

If the Grand Line were all monsters like this.

He would never have dared to set foot on the Grand Line in his life.

Too bad,

it's already too late.

He had no room left for regret.

Overwhelmed and utterly broken, Kass collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed over, as if he'd lost his soul.

After a long while,

he lifted his head, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at Lu En and asked in a trembling voice: "Can you tell me, what exactly is this power?"

"What exactly is this power…"

"That could wipe out our entire pirate crew in an instant?"

Now,

he only wanted to know the answer.

As for resistance?

He had no thought or courage left to resist.

He knew it well.

Even if he resisted, he could never shake this monster before him.

Better yet…

Surrender!

Then perhaps he might still avoid some physical suffering.

"What power?"

"Actually, I might as well tell you."

In response to Kass's question, Lu En smiled faintly and answered honestly: "This power is called by the people of this sea, Haki of the Conqueror!"

Upon hearing this,

Kass opened his mouth, mumbling to himself.

"C-Conqueror's Haki…"

Meanwhile,

at the foot of Reverse Mountain,

Dr. Kurohas was utterly stunned.

When he saw…

the scene moments ago, when the entire Ghost Pirate Crew was instantly obliterated,

at that moment,

he had completely lost his composure.

Because…

he couldn't believe it.

The scene before his eyes was nothing short of astonishing!

It was an astonishing phenomenon that completely overturned his understanding!

"T-That was…"

"Conqueror's Haki?!"

"A Conqueror's Haki, one in a million?!"

"Did I just hallucinate?"

"That power…"

"How could it possibly be the legendary Conqueror's Haki?!"

Kurohas's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

"There's no mistake!"

"That was the legendary Conqueror's Haki!"

"I could never be wrong about it!"

Kurohas's throat was dry, his lips trembling, his heart pounding violently.

Once the ship's doctor aboard Pirate King Luo Jie's vessel…

He had sailed with Luo Jie for many years.

He had even reached Laugh Tale!

He had certainly encountered Conqueror's Haki more than once.

This power…

Could only be possessed by the very top monsters of the sea.

Conqueror's Haki is the benchmark for measuring the monsters of the sea.

Precisely because of this.

At this moment,

Upon sensing that earth-shattering, overwhelming surge of Conqueror's Haki, Crocus couldn't help but lose his composure and be utterly shaken.

"This power, I know it all too well from the past."

"After all this time..."

"It's been far, far too long since I've last felt this force."

"I never imagined that one day, on Reverse Mountain in the first half of the Grand Line, I'd encounter someone who has mastered Conqueror's Haki!"

Crocus's face was filled with shock, his turbulent emotions refusing to calm down.

At first.

He had assumed.

That five-year-old Lu En was simply blessed with extraordinary physical strength, and that he hadn't yet come into contact with the more advanced power of Haki.

However.

The scenes unfolding before his eyes completely overturned his understanding.

"The most terrifying part is..."

"A mere five-year-old brat has actually mastered Conqueror's Haki?!"

"Is this real?"

"This can't be a dream, can it?"

"He's only five years old!"

Crocus stood dumbfounded, his eyes wide with disbelief.

If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have shown such a loss of composure.

But this time...

A five-year-old who has mastered Conqueror's Haki has completely shattered his understanding.

Causing his entire worldview to crumble on the spot.

"I thought this brat was simply physically strong."

"I never could have predicted..."

"That he has even mastered the legendary Conqueror's Haki."
