Chapter 892

But now, with Bai Huzi's strength…

If he encounters a furious Captain Kapu…

Even Bai Huzi, hailed as the world's strongest man, would surely feel deep dread and unease.

After all,

Bai Huzi is old.

But Captain Kapu's strength remains in his peak period!

Puff!

Red Hair spat blood, raised his hand to wipe away the faint traces of blood on his lips.

He exerted every ounce of power within him, adjusting his condition to its absolute best.

Captain Kapu's earlier attack

had caught him completely off guard.

And now,

he must give it his all!

He must respond to Captain Kapu's assault with everything he has.

"I can't afford the slightest lapse."

"Otherwise,"

"I will die!"

"And the Red Hair Pirates will surely face total annihilation."

"Perhaps…"

"The entire Red Hair Pirates will perish today in this sea."

The more he thought, the heavier his heart became.

His face was pale, eyes locked fixedly on Captain Kapu a kilometer away.

That towering figure…

appeared before Red Hair's eyes, filling his gaze with dread and terror.

Captain Kapu's earlier punch had nearly made Red Hair doubt his very existence.

And moreover,

it had left him with an indelible psychological trauma!

Gripping his sword Griffon tightly eased some of the immense pressure in his heart; his eyes never wavered, fixed solely on Captain Kapu, guarding against a sudden strike.

"Captain Kapu is the most terrifying enemy I've ever faced in my life!"

"If I'd known…"

"I never should've chosen to come to the Windmill Village in the East Blue at this time."

"Now, the situation has grown increasingly dire."

Red Hair's spirits sank to the lowest point.

The formidable strength he had always prided himself on could no longer grant him any confidence.

Before the legendary Marine hero Captain Kapu,

his own strength was nothing but a joke.

A power great enough to intimidate a region in the New World,

yet before Captain Kapu,

it still appeared extraordinarily fragile!

Almost defenseless!

Pathetically weak.

Huh!

He exhaled heavily, quickly readjusting his current state and emotions.

He lifted his head,

gazing across at Captain Kapu.

Clenching his sword Griffon, black Armament Haki tightly sheathed the blade, radiating an overwhelming, piercing pressure.

"Even if I lose this battle…"

"I must give it my all!"

"As long as I buy enough time, Ben Beike Man will surely find a way out."

Red Hair thought to himself.

He had absolute faith in his first mate Ben Beike Man's intellect.

After all,

in the New World…

Ben Beike Man had another title.

The Pirate with the Highest Intelligence!

Red Hair firmly believed.

If he could merely hold off Captain Kapu briefly,

then

with Ben Beike Man's wisdom, he would surely find a solution to their current desperate situation.

Thinking of this,

The red-haired man gripped his sword tightly, gritted his teeth, and launched an attack himself.

Full release of Armament Haki!

Gathering all his strength,

The red-haired man slashed down without hesitation.

In an instant,

Shh—

An incredibly sharp and brilliant slash tore across the sky, striking toward Captain Kapu a kilometer away.

Blinding,

Brilliant,

Glowing across the heavens.

"I already said it."

"Red Hair…"

"You're still too weak!"

"Compared to Roger back then, you're now as weak as an ant."

"You still need to go back and train for many more years!"

Facing the red-haired man's slash, Captain Kapu remained as calm and composed as ever.

From start to finish,

He never regarded the red-haired man's slash as a threat.

His expression was plain, natural, and steady.

Even facing Red Hair Shanks, the famed pirate of the New World, he showed no sign of solemn and heavy concern.

Who is he?

He is the hero of the Marines!

The legendary sailor!

A legend within the Marines!

Before him,

Red Hair was still painfully immature.

Then,

As the slash drew near,

Captain Kapu unleashed a thunderous punch.

His world-shaking fist, clad in Armament Haki, shattered the very space.
