Chapter 799

"You should be very clear that, with your strength, you can't do anything to me."

"The Marines only have you alone here — it's simply impossible for you to defeat and capture me."

"If we keep fighting, it'll purely be a waste."

Red-Hair continued speaking.

He was naturally deeply confident in his own strength.

After his brief clash with Lu En, he had also profoundly come to appreciate the terrifying combat power Lu En possessed.

But even so,

he remained very confident.

That he could easily suppress and crush Lu En.

Under such circumstances,

if Lu En insisted on continuing the fight, Red-Hair would naturally see it through to the end.

"There's no need."

Lu En said.

From his brief clash with Red-Hair, he had likewise come to appreciate how terrifying the other's strength was.

If this battle were to drag on…

he might not be able to gain any advantage against Red-Hair.

The most likely outcome was,

he would suffer a crushing defeat at Red-Hair's hands.

Not only would he fail to capture Red-Hair, he would instead be pinned down one-handed by Red-Hair.

"Although it's a pity…"

"But right now, I truly do not yet possess the strength capital to shake Red-Hair."

"I can only wait a few more years."

"Given my current rate of growth, in a few years, surpassing Red-Hair will absolutely not be a difficult matter."

Lu En thought to himself.

Especially…

if the completion progress of his Ghost Back could smoothly cross that threshold,

then.

his cultivation results would also welcome a doubled, massive surge!

By then,

it might be two hundred times the cultivation effect.

It might also be three hundred, five hundred, a thousand times!

When that time comes,

Lu En's cultivation speed will welcome an earth-shattering, massive boost.

And this, is the confidence that lets him believe that within just a few short years, he can comprehensively surpass Red-Hair in strength!

At this moment.

After hearing Lu En's words, Red-Hair also suppressed the thought of continuing the battle.

In his view, this battle likewise had no need to continue.

"Fist Demon Lu En, is it?"

"What a terrifying monster."

Red-Hair thought silently to himself.

In this clash of Conqueror's Haki against Conqueror's Haki, although he had gained the upper hand, he did not feel the slightest joy or excitement.

On the contrary,

from Lu En, he felt an unprecedented, immense pressure.

Only because…

Lu En was merely a boy of merely five years old!

His growth potential was simply too great.

This made even Red-Hair have to feel deeply wary.

Having cultivated to such a degree at merely five years old — given time, how strong would the other become?

It was simply completely unimaginable!

Gradually.

As Lu En and Red-Hair ceased hostilities and stopped this battle,

all around,

the surrounding crew members of the Red-Hair Pirates also gradually breathed a sigh of relief, easing their taut nerves.

"It's over."

"Although the boss suppressed the opponent in the final Conqueror's Haki clash, don't forget — Fist Demon Lu En is a boy of merely five years old!"

"To possess such terrifying Conqueror's Haki at five — it's simply unimaginable!"

"Truly worthy of being the greatest genius in the history of the Marines! The most terrifying monster on the sea!"

"I have a premonition — apart from the boss, even the vice-captain doesn't possess the strength capital to suppress the monster Fist Demon Lu En."

"Isn't that right…"

One after another, the crew members of the Red-Hair Pirates voiced exclamations filled with awe.

Lu En's strength refreshed their understanding.

It also made them realize.

It turns out,

In this sea, there truly exists a kind of monster beyond common sense!

And right now,

They were personally witnessing such an example.

"These two are truly monsters!"

"The entire tavern collapsed because of the collision of their Conqueror's Haki."

"Reduced to a broken ruin..."

"This is the first time in my life I've seen the collision of two Conqueror's Haki auras cause such severe damage to objects."

Everyone spoke at once.

At this moment,

Makino, holding little Luffy, walked forward with a worried expression.

She first checked on Lu En's physical condition, then checked on Red-Haired Shanks's condition.

Seeing that neither of them had any injuries, she finally breathed a complete sigh of relief, completely suppressing the worry in her heart.

"Mr. Lu En, please calm down."

"Shanks is not the kind of vicious pirate you imagine..."

To prevent another conflict between the two sides, Makino hurriedly came to Lu En's side, her tone as gentle as ever, continuously making excuses for Red-Haired Shanks.

"I know."

Lu En smiled.

"Then, could you temporarily not start a conflict with them?"

Makino tentatively asked in a weak voice.

"Mm."

Lu En nodded in agreement.

"That's great."

Seeing this, Makino showed a relieved smile.

As long as Lu En agreed not to clash with Red-Haired Shanks, she wouldn't need to worry too much about the two of them anymore.

"Big brother."

Little Luffy, held in her arms, looked at Lu En with an admiring face.

"Are you okay?"
