Chapter 857: Naval Legend

Silence!

The atmosphere turned utterly silent!

Oppressive!

After hearing Ben Beike Man's brief words, the red-haired man's smile instantly froze, his earlier excitement completely doused like ice water.

The red-haired man felt a flicker of panic inside.

The news brought by Ben Beike Man was utterly unexpected.

He had no psychological preparation whatsoever!

He hadn't anticipated,

that the legendary Marine would arrive at Windmill Village so soon!

This exceeded the red-haired man's original expectations.

Originally,

according to the plan he had already devised in his mind,

it was this: …

To resolve matters in Windmill Village at the fastest speed before the Marines noticed their arrival, then swiftly set sail back to the New World.

But he never imagined,

at this critical moment,

that the legendary Marine had actually come!

And moreover,

the opponent had already reached the East Sea!

He would arrive at Windmill Village in no time!

Just thinking of this, the red-haired man was filled with anxiety and dread.

Compared to the crew of the Red-Haired Pirates…

As captain, he had once been a crewman under Pirate King Luo Jie—he understood better than anyone else just how terrifying that legendary Marine truly was!

He also possessed how terrifyingly powerful combat strength!

Captain Kapu had left an indelible impression on the red-haired man.

He was the legendary Marine who had once forced Pirate King Luo Jie into a desperate situation!

Even the mighty Pirate King Luo Jie…

Back then,

had been chased and beaten by him!

Hunted across the entire sea!

Forced to flee in desperation with all his crew.

Those days,

were utterly humiliating!

Even today, now that the red-haired man has become one of the top powerhouses of the sea, he still cannot forget the humiliation of those turbulent years.

Back then, he was merely a lowly little thug.

A negligible minor figure.

Precisely because he had been such a humble little figure back then, he understood even more clearly,

just how dangerous and terrifying that legendary Marine was!

"The Marine hero Captain Kapu…"

"He… has actually come!"

"The Marines really pulled out all the stops."

"It must be…"

"The Marines have long noticed our return from the New World to the East Sea. Otherwise, they would never have sent the legendary Marine Captain Kapu specifically to Windmill Village in the East Sea."

The red-haired man took a deep breath, his spirit shaken violently.

Even he, back then, had developed a profound psychological trauma toward Captain Kapu.

Even now,

his psychological trauma toward Captain Kapu remains impossible to erase easily.

He was a legendary figure!

A figure who stood shoulder to shoulder with Pirate King Luo Jie.

His strength…

Was unfathomable!

Terrifyingly strong!

Even now, with the red-haired man having become one of the sea's top powerhouses, rivaling the Four Emperors, he still harbored immense psychological trauma toward Captain Kapu.

He was filled with caution and fear toward Captain Kapu.

The fame of the hero Captain Kapu…

Was earned through his iron fist!

Across this sea,

among the old-era pirates, who did not know of Captain Kapu's combat strength?

Even the current Bai Huzi,

I'm afraid he is far inferior to that legendary Marine!

Bai Huzi has grown old.

But that legendary Marine, Captain Kapu, remains in his peak period.

He is the only one on this sea…

whose strength does not decline with age!

At this moment,

Red Hair could not help but recall…

the scene when Captain Luo Jie and Captain Kapu clashed…

Those moments remained vivid in Red Hair's memory even to this day.

Red Hair was certain.

He still stood a considerable distance away from Captain Luo Jie's strength back then.

Yet even the mighty Captain Luo Jie back then was chased and beaten by that legendary Marine!

Think about it.

How terrifying the opponent must have been.

"Back then, I once glanced from thousands of meters away at the duel between Captain and that legendary Marine."

"That battle…"

"Shattered the heavens and split the earth!"

"Dried up the seas and rotted the stones!"

"Even the entire island was forcibly sunk by their clash."

"Those two were the strongest beings on this sea!"

"In comparison,"

"my current strength seems utterly insignificant."

Red Hair forcibly suppressed the trembling in his heart.

Back then,

merely witnessing the clash between Captain Luo Jie and Hero Kapu from afar made Red Hair, then a lowly grunt, tremble in fear and dare not make a sound, hiding in the corner.

Even today,

Red Hair is no longer weak.

His strength rivals the Four Emperors of the New World!

He is no less than the Four Emperors!

What he lacks is merely influence…

But facing that legendary Marine, Hero Kapu, Red Hair's heart could not help but be filled with panic.

It can only be said that

Captain Kapu left an unforgettable impression on Red Hair.

Kapu's strength…

left an indelible mark on Red Hair's entire life!

Even though Red Hair has grown stronger,

become one of the top powerhouses on the sea,

if he were to face that legendary Marine, Red Hair would still inevitably feel fear and unease.

"Can you confirm the authenticity of this information?"

Red Hair's eyes were solemn and heavy as he asked Ben Beike Man once more.

If Kapu truly is about to arrive at Windmill Village…

then

they must flee Windmill Village at once.
