Chapter 765

The power erupting from the two of them slowly swelled to its absolute peak!

But even so,

The earth-shaking duel between them faintly showed a stalemate.

Neither could do anything to the other.

It seemed…

Neither could forcefully suppress and crush the other.

Neither would yield,

A single strike ending in a draw!.

Crackle-crackle-crackle!

Streaks of crimson-red electric arcs flickered at the boundary between Lu En and Nagri.

Boom!

A tremendous roar.

The two figures violently retreated from each other.

The terrifying shockwave of force swept over their bodies, sending them stumbling backward without pause.

Their feet scraped against the ground, gouging a vicious crack that stretched far into the distance.

Under the churning of this violent gale,

Dust flew wildly from the ground.

Smoke and dust billowed upward.

For a time,

The rising dust completely obscured the figures of Lu En and Nagri.

A moment later.

The smoke and dust dispersed.

The figures of Lu En and Nagri were also presented with perfect clarity to the eyes of Ace, Little Lufei, and the others.

From start to finish, neither had suffered so much as a hair!

They had taken no injury whatsoever.

It was merely a single clash of an exchange.

Both had unleashed their full power, but clearly neither could do anything to the other.

This battle…

Seemed to end in an even split.

Lu En failed to suppress Nagri.

Likewise,

Nagri also failed to suppress Lu En.

At this point, the fight drew to its close.

It had only ever been a friendly spar to begin with.

A single strike to decide victory…

The final result was — both sides ended the clash perfectly even!

No winner, no loser.

No one above the other.

"Cough, cough!"

Nagri coughed lightly, and the frenzied churning of the qi and blood within his body seemed to drag his condition into a fairly serious slump.

After all.

He was old now; his physical fitness and condition were naturally far inferior to his younger years.

This duel might have looked evenly matched on the surface.

In truth,

Nagri had already faintly fallen into the inferior position.

If the fight continued, he would very likely be defeated at Lu En's hands.

When all was said and done…

His age no longer permitted him to erupt into this kind of high-intensity, all-out battle with Lu En.

Once it dragged into a stalemate, the distance to his defeat would not be far off.

Hoo!

Heaving out a long breath,

Nagri swiftly adjusted his own condition, restoring it to the way it had been at the start, and the surging hot blood within him was gradually pressed down in full.

After all this was done,

With a single thought, he recalled the Armament Haki armor coating his arms back into his body.

"The young ones nowadays really are something else!"

Raising his head,

Nagri looked toward Lu En ahead, his words brimming with praise and admiration for Lu En.

This exchange let him deeply appreciate,

Just what a terrifyingly powerful top-tier expert the five-year-old boy Lu En before his eyes truly was!

Realizing this, he could not help but gasp in wonder again and again.

"This stretch of sea…"

"A terrifying monster has surfaced!"

"This era is likely to be completely dominated by that monster, young friend Lu En."

Nageli thought silently to himself.

Lu En is strong!

Extremely strong!

At the very least,

among all the enemies he had come across over the years, his strength could be called the most terrifying existence!

Without equal!

Ever since he had retired into the mountains and forests, he had never again encountered an existence as powerful as Lu En.

And now, today,

the mere five-year-old Lu En had completely refreshed his former perception.

Watching this,

Nageli retracted his Armament Haki, and Lu En swiftly drew his Armament Haki back into his body, a brilliant smile surfacing on his face.

"As expected of a Great Pirate of the old era!"

"Terrifyingly strong."

He sighed with feeling.

Any Great Pirate of the old era truly could not be underestimated.

Even though the Nageli before his eyes was already old, the other's strength was still extremely terrifying.

In this clash, Lu En had not suffered a loss.

Of course.

He had not gained the upper hand either.

As for this result, he was already quite content.

"If Mr. Nageli were still at the peak period of his strength, I might have lost."

"As expected of the man who once crossed hands with the Pirate King."

"His strength at peak period must have reached an unimaginably terrifying level."

Lu En narrowed his eyes slightly.
