Chapter 867: Reinforcements Arrive

As Lu En's voice just fell silent.

Lei De-Haired's steps halted abruptly.

He slowly turned around.

His brows knitted tightly, his gaze solemn and heavy as he fixed it on Lu En.

The legendary Marine hero Captain Kapu was about to arrive; he naturally had no time to waste here lingering with Lu En.

"What do you want?"

Lei De-Haired spoke, his tone slightly low.

"I don't want anything."

"Rather you—"

"Why did you run off so fast? That doesn't suit your character."

"A few days ago, weren't you still acting arrogantly?"

Lu En smiled faintly.

"So it seems…"

"That one has already contacted you."

"If I'm not mistaken, your grandfather, the Marine hero, has already reached out to you, ordering you to delay our departure."

"Am I right?"

Lei De-Haired fell into thought, quickly connecting the key point.

Hearing this,

Lu En looked astonished.

Didn't expect…

This guy Lei De-Haired has such a sharp mind!

Truly eye-opening!

Of course.

No pirate who stands firm in the New World is an easy target.

"You're right."

"The old man did contact me, ordering me to stop your departure at all costs—at the very least, to hold out until he arrives."

Lu En let out a wry laugh, showing no intention of hiding his purpose.

Since Lei De-Haired had seen through him,

then,

he no longer needed to hide anything.

Too much denial…

wouldn't dispel Lei De-Haired's suspicions.

Better to admit it outright.

Beside them,

Little Lufei listened to their exchange, his eyes filled with surprise.

Is old man coming back?

It seems…

Old man's target is Shanks?

Does Shanks fear meeting old man?

Otherwise,

why flee so hastily?

"As big brother said…"

"Shanks fears meeting old man?"

"That means…"

"In Shanks's eyes, old man is a stronger, more terrifying presence than himself?"

Little Lufei's eyes glazed over.

He had never imagined…

Daily,

that unreliable grandfather Captain Kapu was a being so fearsome that even the great pirate Shanks deeply dreaded him!

"Is grandpa really that strong?"

Little Lufei was dazed.

Originally,

in his mind,

Lei De-Haired Shanks had been a towering, mighty pirate!

Yet now,

so much had happened today,

causing,

Lei De-Haired's standing in his heart to plummet sharply.

Meanwhile,

as they watched Lei De-Haired and Lu En stand in tense confrontation, Ben Beike Man and the rest of Lei De-Haired's crew all wore filled with gravity expressions.

They stood on the deck of the Lei De Hair, their eyes full of solemnity, fixed on the two men facing off.

"Things don't look good…"

Ye Su Bu raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with urgency: "If I'm not mistaken, that monster, Quan Mo Lu En, has realized we're trying to avoid Captain Kapu ahead of schedule, and so he's been forced to set sail from Windmill Village early."

"Now, the reason he's come to the harbor is clearly to stop our escape."

"It follows then that he will never let us sail away from Windmill Village so easily."

"Highly likely…"

"A fierce battle will break out!"

The words fell.

Ben Beike Man frowned deeply and nodded, his expression slightly heavy: "As you say, Quan Mo Lu En will never let us sail away so easily."

He had the same premonition.

Lei De Hair and Quan Mo Lu En were highly likely to clash fiercely right here at the harbor.

Ben Beike Man wasn't overly concerned about Lei De Hair's personal safety.

How strong was Lei De Hair?

He knew perfectly well.

But the problem was…

Right now, the entire Lei De Hair Pirates crew was fleeing from the legendary Marine hero, Captain Kapu!

Although Lei De Hair was stronger than Quan Mo Lu En,

if he got entangled, even someone as powerful as Lei De Hair might not be able to break free in a short time.

At that point,

once Quan Mo Lu En delayed them until Captain Kapu arrived,

the Lei De Hair Pirates would be in trouble!

With the immense combat power Quan Mo Lu En possessed…

even their captain, Lei De Hair Shanks, could not defeat him within a single hour.

Thus,

for the Lei De Hair Pirates to sail away from Windmill Village, they must endure this agonizing wait.

And during that time,

Captain Kapu could arrive at Windmill Village at any moment!

Thinking of this, Ben Beike Man's mood became incredibly heavy.

"With Lei De Hair's strength, he can absolutely crush Quan Mo Lu En!"

"But the problem is…"

"If Quan Mo Lu En fights to the death, even someone as strong as Lei De Hair will surely be held back."

"In that case, their situation will only grow worse."

Ben Beike Man fell into deep thought.

The legendary Marine hero…

He was a figure of legend among Marines!

They absolutely did not want to meet him here.

So,

they must exhaust every possible means.

Escape Quan Mo Lu En's entanglement as soon as possible.

Allow the Lei De Hair to sail away smoothly.

"First Mate, what should we do now?"

One of Lei De Hair's crewmen couldn't help asking.

Ben Beike Man's eyes flickered, fixed on the figure of Lu En at the harbor.

He was thinking.

Should he order the entire Lei De Hair Pirates crew to launch a full assault…

and crush Quan Mo Lu En in one go?

It might take Lei De Hair a long time to defeat Quan Mo Lu En alone.

But if all of them attacked together, even if Quan Mo Lu En was as strong as he was, he would surely be overwhelmed—two fists cannot fight four hands—and be crushed by them.
