Chapter 85

"Since fate has arranged for you and me to meet…"

"Then."

"Today, I will properly leave you with a deep impression!"

Lu En gazed at the Buggy before him, a somewhat meaningful look in his eyes.

What a coincidence, running into the clown Buggy in Luo Ge Town.

Naturally, he had to leave the other party with a deep impression.

In the end, he never expected…

That the very culprit ruling Luo Ge Town's underworld was the clown Buggy standing right before his eyes!

At this moment.

While Lu En was sizing up Buggy, the more than a hundred pirates inside the entire tavern all, one after another, fixed their strange gazes upon Lu En.

Over a hundred pirates glared fiercely, their eyes carrying shades of amusement, coldness, grimness, mockery, and other emotions.

If it were an ordinary person,

Under the scrutiny of these over a hundred viciously fierce pirates,

They would likely be unable to resist collapsing on the spot in terror.

But Lu En remained unruffled, expressionless, standing quietly in place, unmoved.

The atmosphere was eerie!

Suffocating!

After a while,

The blue-haired man behind Lu En hurriedly jogged over to Buggy's side and truthfully informed the latter of the whole story.

A moment later,

Having learned the whole story, Buggy slowly rose from the sofa, his eyes filled with longing as he looked at Lu En, a greedy glint in his gaze.

"Kid, I heard you're pretty rich, huh?"

"How about lending some Berries for this lord to spend?"

"As it happens, this lord has been quite poor lately. I'm sure you won't mind, right?"

Buggy stared coldly at Lu En, a sinister smile spreading across his face.

All around,

One by one, the pirates, upon seeing Buggy's move, cast gloating, amused looks at Lu En.

"This kid is in for it now."

"Where did this little brat get the nerve to dare request an audience with Boss Buggy on his own?"

"He's truly tired of living!"

"If this brat can't produce Berries to satisfy Boss Buggy, I reckon he won't walk out of this tavern today. He'll definitely be torn into eight pieces on the spot by furious Boss Buggy!"

"Look at this kid's soft, fair skin — must be from noble birth, right? Nobles are usually very wealthy. If we take this kid hostage and force the family behind him to pay ransom, we can definitely make a killing."

"……"

Over a hundred pirates conversed in low voices.

"Kid, now you know who our boss is, right?"

"It's the great clown Buggy himself!"

"Seeing our boss, are you already about to wet yourself?"

"Boss Buggy's fame is renowned across the entire East Sea!"

The blue-haired man sneered at Lu En without cease.

In his view,

Lu En was simply seeking his own death!

It was the first time he had ever seen,

Someone who wanted to voluntarily meet his own boss, the clown Buggy!

Now then,

This brat is done for!

"Clown Buggy?"

At this moment, Lu En looked at Buggy and slowly spoke.

"Kid, good eye — that's this lord!"

Buggy raised his head high, looking majestic and arrogantly invincible.

Then,

He continued: "Kid, considering how sensible you are, this lord will give you a Mingdeji Society. Do everything in your power to have the family behind you scrape together twenty million Berries for this lord!"

"Otherwise…"

"This lord will tear you, this little brat, into eight pieces alive!"

His voice fell.

The pirates watched Lu En with even greater excitement.

They seemed to already see,

The scene of Lu En being torn into eight pieces.

"Have the family behind me scrape together twenty million?"

Lu En laughed.

After a pause,

He gave Buggy a deep, appraising look, a playful smile on his lips, and slowly began to speak: "Then I'll give you a chance to keep your life too. Will you choose to come quietly with me to the Marine prison?"

"Or do you want me to take you to the Marine prison in Luo Ge Town myself?"

"You, make the choice yourself!"

"Here's a friendly reminder—if you make me do it, you may not be so lucky. When the time comes, I can't guarantee you'll be fortunate enough to keep your little life."

His words fell.

The whole tavern fell deathly silent!

The hundred-plus pirates who had been whispering among themselves all turned stunned faces toward Lu En.

They were stunned.

For the first time, they were seeing…

Someone actually daring to speak such outrageous words right in front of their boss Buggy!

"This kid must be out of his mind!"

"How dare he say such outrageous things to Boss Buggy?"

"He's absolutely done for!"

"He's offended Boss Buggy—he won't leave here alive today."

"He's simply digging his own grave!"

Speculation flew from every mouth.

Even the blue-haired man standing beside Buggy was shocked by Lu En's words.

"Is he insane?"

He stared wide-eyed at Lu En in a daze.

At this moment,

Buggy laughed in spite of his fury: "Good! Very good! Brat, you've successfully pissed me off! From now on, I can tell you this clearly."

"Even if your family behind you scraped together twenty million Beri, I will never let you off!"

"Now, the price on your little life has gone up."

"If you don't hand over fifty million Beri, I'll tear you to pieces today!"

He stared at Lu En with icy eyes.

Killing intent surged,

murderous aura rising and falling.

A stifling air of slaughter welled up of its own accord.

The entire tavern grew unbearably oppressive!

As if a battle were about to erupt at any moment!
