Chapter 768

Aside from the enhancement of the four-dimensional attributes, what Lu En most looked forward to was…

The completion progress of Ghost Back!

"Getting closer and closer to reaching 20% completion of Ghost Back."

"Once I hit the 20% threshold, my overall cultivation effectiveness will increase, at least doubling to two hundred times!"

"Even…"

"Maybe five hundred times!"

"Or even a thousand times!"

Lu En's eyes flickered.

Thinking of this, his heart brimmed with excitement and anticipation.

He could hardly wait.

To raise Ghost Back's completion to 20%!

At that time…

Once his overall cultivation effectiveness received an enormous boost, his strength would undergo another explosive leap.

At that moment,

The gains from his daily devilish training would no longer be as negligible as they were today.

"Soon!"

"That day is coming soon."

Lu En slightly narrowed his eyes.

…

As Lu En's spirits soared,

On the other side.

Windmill Village.

The harbor shore.

In the distance,

The blue sea lay calm and still.

Golden sunlight poured down from the horizon, casting glimmers upon the sea surface, flashing dazzling, gold-like radiance.

A gentle sea breeze drifted in.

Whoosh!

The sea surface rippled with waves, each crest spreading outward, emitting crisp, melodious sounds like musical notes.

Waves crashed against the rocks along the shoreline.

At this moment,

From the endless sea beyond, a massive single-masted sailboat suddenly sailed into view.

Its speed was not fast,

The vessel moved at a steady pace.

Drawing nearer to Windmill Village.

Upon closer inspection,

As the sea breeze brushed gently, the skull flag hoisted high above the ship's deck flapped prominently in the wind, revealing the vessel's identity.

This was unmistakably a pirate ship!

The hull's structure was exquisitely crafted…

At first glance,

It radiated an overwhelming, oppressive force.

The entire ship was enormous, capable of accommodating well over a thousand people.

This was a super-large pirate vessel!

Countless scratches marred its hull—traces left by years of wear.

Testifying that this ship had sailed for many years!

Each scratch on the hull was a chapter in the ship's journey.

A light breeze drifted by,

Causing the high-hung skull flag to dance, the skull emblem clearly exposed to the sunlight.

It was a skull with three red diagonal slashes across its left eye socket.

Behind the skull, two swords crossed.

Fierce,

Terrifying.

A terrifying aura of pressure surged forth.

If this skull flag appeared in the New World, it would strike fear into countless pirates, filling them with dread and trembling.

Simply because…

This skull flag represented an extremely terrifying pirate crew from the New (well-gotten) World!

A pirate crew rivaling the Four Emperors!

Possessing an immensely fearsome collective power.

Though its crew was small…

Every single member was elite among elites.

Incredibly strong!

Every single crew member is as strong as a monster.

In the New World, they enjoy an illustrious, fearsome reputation.

Renowned far and wide,

Their vicious name spreads afar!

Gradually.

A pirate ship of incomparably massive hull set sail toward the direction of Windmill Village.

That's right!

Exactly!

This pirate ship's target…

Is Windmill Village!

The name of this pirate ship is called the Lei De Force's Claw!

In the first half of the Grand Line, and even throughout the East Blue seas…

It's likely that the vast majority of people know far too little about the Lei De Force, nor about that skull flag bearing three red slashes.

But, if it's in the New World.

Every pirate would recognize this pirate ship and the identity of that skull flag at first glance, immediately.

They are…

The Lei De-Haired Pirates from the New World!

A terrifying behemoth whose power rivals the Four Emperors, seeking to become the Fourth Emperor itself!
