Chapter 787

The atmosphere was deeply eerie.

Utterly silent.

The gazes of some two hundred pirates all locked simultaneously onto the white-clad boy who had just stepped into the tavern from outside.

Including Ben Beike Man, Ye Su Bu, Luo Qi Lu, and other officers of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Their eyes were stern, faces full of gravity, fixed intently on Lu En.

At the same time.

As Lu En gazed at Red-Haired.

Red-Haired, as if sensing it, returned a solemn look.

Thus,

Their eyes met!

The atmosphere grew even more oppressive.

Eerie!

Faintly,

A faint friction arose between their gazes, sparks of fire flashing forth.

Amid this eerie atmosphere,

A childish voice shattered it.

"Big brother!"

Little Lufei, held in Machino's arms, instantly shot Lu En a look of surprise and excitement the moment he stepped into the tavern, shouting out loudly.

Little Lufei's voice broke the tavern's eerie silence.

He struggled constantly,

Yet still remained tightly held in Machino's arms.

"Mr. Lu En…"

Seeing the eerie scene in the tavern, Machino held Little Lufei close, her gentle eyes filled with worry and unease, fixed on the sudden arrival of Lu En.

Then,

She turned her gaze to Red-Haired and the other pirates.

She was deeply worried.

That Lu En, a Marine, would clash with Red-Haired and the other pirates.

And this, she did not want to see.

She did not wish to see either side hurt.

Whether Lu En was injured,

Or Red-Haired and the others were hurt, neither scene was what she wanted to witness.

But Marines and pirates have always been natural enemies since ancient times!

She could not stop them!

She could only silently pray within her heart.

Hoping neither side would erupt into conflict.

Otherwise,

Things would become troublesome.

Of course.

She did not believe

That Lu En, merely a child of five years old, could be a match for Red-Haired and the others!

She knew well.

How powerful and terrifying a presence Red-Haired and the others truly were.

And Lu En was, after all, merely a boy of five years.

If he rashly attacked Red-Haired and the others…

She felt

That Lu En might get injured today!

"Mr. Lu En, please don't act impulsively."

"Red-Haired and the others…"

"Are all good people."

"Though they are pirates, they have never committed arson, murder, or plunder."

Machino thought anxiously.

Her arms, clutching Little Lufei tightly, had turned slightly pale.

It was clearly visible.

Her mood was now extremely tense and uneasy.

Afraid that…

The next second,

Lu En, who had just stepped into the tavern, would erupt into violent conflict with Red-Haired and the others.

"Big sister Machino…"

Little Lufei, tightly held, looked up with a puzzled expression, gazing at the gentle face above him, now heavy with worry, feeling confused.

Next,

Under Marquino's worried gaze.

Lu En spoke first: "Red-Haired Shanks?"

He looked directly at the red-haired man before him.

"The Fist Demon?"

"What an incredible being!"

"Remarkable!"

Red-Haired Shanks, seated, gazed deeply at Lu En, his eyes carrying a profound and solemn weight.

At close range,

he could sense an extremely terrifying surge of power emanating from Lu En's young body.

So strong!

Extremely strong!

The five-year-old Fist Demon Lu En possessed strength that undoubtedly placed him among the very top of Yu Dahai's ranks!

Terrifyingly strong!

This compelled Red-Haired Shanks to sigh in awe.

Indeed!

The rumors from beyond were no exaggeration.

The Fist Demon Lu En was truly, utterly a monster!

A monster who surpassed worldly norms in nearly every way.

Having witnessed it with his own eyes today, Red-Haired Shanks had finally opened his eyes.

Until now,

though he had never fully doubted the rumors about the Fist Demon Lu En, he had still dismissed them, not taking them seriously.

But today,

after seeing the Fist Demon Lu En in person,

Red-Haired Shanks suddenly realized.

So…

the Fist Demon Lu En, this monster, was genuinely terrifying beyond measure!

At just five years old, he radiated such overwhelming pressure.

Merely this one fact was enough to deeply move and alarm Red-Haired Shanks.

Even someone as powerful as he, when facing Lu En at this moment, felt a faint yet pervasive pressure sweep through his heart.

As Red-Haired Shanks and Lu En conversed,
