Chapter 868

"Get ready."

"The Fist Demon, this monster, has already seen through our intention to leave Windmill Village early."

"If that's the case…"

"Then we have no choice but to force our way through!"

"As long as we take down the Fist Demon, we can set sail smoothly and avoid that legendary Marine."

"By comparison."

"Fighting the Fist Demon is better than fighting that Marine hero, Captain Kapu."

Ben Beike Man gave his order with a face full of solemnity.

In an instant,

all members of the Red-Haired Pirates prepared for battle individually.

They stared at Lu En with battle lust, restless and eager to strike.

Once Ben Beike Man gave the order,

they would launch an attack on Lu En without hesitation.

The atmosphere grew oppressive.

Tension crackled,

battle seemed about to erupt at any moment!

A deadly chill arose spontaneously.

Lu En and Red-Haired faced each other,

the two locked in mutual confrontation!

In each of their eyes, waves of battle intent rose, burning fiercely like flames.

Hum!

Hum!

The aura emanating from Lu En and Red-Haired gradually began to clash and rub against each other.

Faintly,

Due to the collision and friction of their erupting auras, the surrounding space trembled and twisted.

Like ripples spreading across a calm lake.

"You want to fight me?"

Red-Haired asked, expressionless.

"No choice."

"The old man himself ordered me to hold you back."

"If I can't even manage this small task…"

"Wouldn't that be too shameful?"

Lu En laughed.

"A small task?"

"Just you alone?"

"You think you, by yourself, can hold back the entire Red-Haired Pirates?"

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"Fist Demon, are you overestimating your own strength—or underestimating the Red-Haired Pirates?"

Red-Haired snorted coldly.

"How can you know without trying?"

Lu En's eyes narrowed slightly.

He had sensed the killing intent radiating from Red-Haired.

Yet even so,

he remained utterly unmoved, not retreating a single step.

"Fighting Red-Haired?"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

Several days ago, Lu En had only clashed with Red-Haired's Conqueror's Haki.

It was merely a simple collision.

Not yet a true confrontation!

Now,

this confrontation is about to begin!

"Little Lufei, move farther away."

"Don't come near here."

"This place is very dangerous."

Lu En warned Little Lufei.

"Mm."

Little Lufei stepped forward with his short legs and quickly led the old village chief and Machino away from the harbor shore.

Seeing this,

Red-Haired's gaze fixed again on Lu En, his aura growing increasingly terrifying and immense.

This battle will erupt at any moment!

At the same time,

The entire Red-Haired Pirates crew had prepared for battle.

"Hey hey hey…"

"You plan to overwhelm me with numbers?"

"Are you so certain I'm alone?"

Lu En smiled strangely.

"What do you mean?"

Red-Haired raised an eyebrow and demanded coldly.

"Nothing much."

"I just wanted to remind you all…"

"My mission has already been completed without you noticing!"

"The end of your Red-Haired Pirates is coming!"

"I am no longer alone!"

Lu En let out a loud laugh.

He changed tone,

his eyes flickering as he gazed toward the endless sea beyond the shore, his gaze full of anticipation and excitement, "Haven't you noticed? My reinforcements have arrived!"

As he spoke,

visibly to the naked eye,

across the harbor of Windmill Village, thousands of meters away in that stretch of sea,

a massive warship gradually came into view.

From a tiny black dot,

it was steadily growing larger!

Racing swiftly across the distant sea.

The sea breeze gently blew,

waves churned,

ripples spread in all directions.

At this moment,

in the distance,

the naval flag hoisted high on the warship became unmistakably clear to all in the harbor.
