Chapter 894: Lu En: Interfere? Go ahead and try! [Vote for Custom]

Every single one of these scenes fell with crystal clarity into the eyes of the crowd gathered from all directions across the sea.

Windmill Village, harbor coastline.

The immensely massive Red De Force ship sat quietly moored at the edge of the shore.

The sea breeze brushed lightly.

On the calm sea surface, ripples stirred one after another.

Waves tumbled,

flowing on without end.

On the deck.

The crew of the Red-Haired Pirates, led by Ben Beike Man, all wore expressions of shock.

Silence!

The atmosphere was utterly dead!

Not a single crow's call.

After quite a while,

Gulp!

A pirate couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, blurting out instinctively, "I-I-I must be dreaming, right? Our boss, he just now seemed to be getting beaten up? Getting beaten up by that hero Captain Kapu?"

The words fell.

The atmosphere grew even more bizarre.

Dead silence.

Not a single sound…

Ben Beike Man was dumbfounded too.

Every Red-Haired crew member on the scene wore a blank, stunned look.

Obviously.

None of them had expected it.

The captain they had always looked upon as a faith-like figure of strength, Red-Haired Shanks, at this very moment, was actually being beaten up the entire fight! Nearly without any power to fight back!

Is this still the Red-Haired boss they worshipped in their hearts?

Far too weak, wasn't he!

"No power to fight back at all!"

"From the moment our boss struck out until now, he hasn't caused any injury or impact at all on that hero Captain Kapu across from him."

"On the contrary, our boss himself has taken quite a few injuries, eating a solid iron fist from hero Captain Kapu. Presumably, the boss's situation right now is extremely dire."

"Getting beaten up the whole way through!"

"Hard to imagine…"

"Our boss, who holds such illustrious fame in the New World, is actually being pressed and beaten by an old man the entire fight, the whole process nearly without any power to parry."

A group of Red-Haired Pirates crew members, one after another, revealed the intense shock within their hearts.

They were stunned dumb by the scene unfolding before their eyes.

The scene before their eyes had nearly completely overturned their entire perception.

Someone asked weakly, "When did the boss become this weak?"

These words,

left every Red-Haired crew member silent, unable to answer.

Weak?

In the New World, who doesn't know the fame of their boss, Red-Haired Shanks?

If he didn't possess sufficiently powerful, terrifying combat strength, the Four Emperors of the New World would have long since swallowed their entire Red-Haired Pirates whole. It was precisely because of Red-Haired's powerful combat strength that the Four Emperors were wary and dared not act rashly.

Simply put.

The status, position, and fame their Red-Haired Pirates enjoyed today — all of it was carved out single-handedly by Red-Haired Shanks and his one sword.

How could such a Red-Haired possibly be weak?

But…

The scene they witnessed today, however, forced them to admit it.

Boss Red-Haired really was a bit too weak.

Getting beaten up the whole way through!

Is this still the invincible boss in their memory?

The sense of contrast was far too strong!

"It's not that the boss is too weak."

"It's…々〃…"

"Right now, the enemy the boss ran into is too strong! Too terrifying!"

"That legendary Marine figure, hero Captain Kapu — he's truly too horrifying!"

"His strength is simply outrageously powerful."

Someone spoke in a trembling voice.

These words received unanimous agreement from every Red-Haired crew member present.

Right!

It's not that their boss Red-Haired is too weak.

But purely…

The enemies Boss Hongfa ran into were too strong.

That's why they had the illusion that Hongfa was very weak.

Captain Kapu is too strong!

Truly worthy of his legend as a Marine!

"I remember."

"Back then, when Boss charged into the New World and ran into that man hailed as the world's strongest, Bai Huzi, he wasn't this wretched either."

"Even though Boss couldn't suppress Bai Huzi when they fought, he absolutely didn't show the wretched state he's in today."

"The Boss of that time managed to withdraw unscathed in the end."

"But now, running into that legendary Marine hero Captain Kapu, Boss looks somewhat unable to withstand a single blow. What on earth does this mean?"

"Could it be that even the world's strongest man, Bai Huzi, is far inferior to that hero Captain Kapu? Otherwise, how do you explain that in front of this hero Captain Kapu, Boss can't even block! He's practically being beaten like a hanging sandbag!"

"A monster!"

"So it turns out, the most terrifying one on this sea isn't Bai Huzi, but the Navy's legendary hero! He is very likely the most powerful existence on the sea! Even the current Bai Huzi is far beneath him!"

"..."

Speculation ran wild.

The more they thought about it, the more shaken the gathered Hongfa crew members felt.

They had a premonition.

If they couldn't come up with a plan soon.

Their Boss Hongfa...

Was truly very likely to be beaten to death by the opposing Marine hero Captain Kapu!

"Vice-captain, what do we do?"

One by one, the Hongfa crew members looked at Ben Beike Man in unison, their eyes filled with worry and unease.

Hongfa's grim situation was, of course, plain to them.

If there was still no solution...

Hongfa would surely be in dire peril!

"Let me think for a moment."

Ben Beike Man felt a tremendous headache coming on.

He raised a hand to rub his temple, falling into deep thought.

He had considered...

That Hongfa might be defeated at the hands of that hero Captain Kapu.

But he never could have imagined.

That the two had only clashed for the span of a single encounter.

Hongfa would already be showing signs of impending defeat!

This truly caught Ben Beike Man completely off guard.

The terrifying strength of the Navy's legendary figure, hero Captain Kapu, had also completely refreshed Ben Beike Man's perception.

Meanwhile.

While Ben Beike Man was thinking.

The clash between Hongfa and Captain Kapu continued to erupt.

The fighting was blazing hot,

Overturning seas and rivers,

Crushing all resistance.

Extremely fierce!

With every clash and collision, the mere shockwaves unleashed were enough to scorch mountains and boil seas, as if to evaporate the sea level down by several centimeters.

This scene also fell with perfect clarity into the eyes of the village chief, Makino, Little Lufei, and others at the harbor.

"S-so strong!"

Little Lufei's face was blank with shock.

He clenched both fists, exclaiming instinctively with a voice full of awe: "Grandpa, he's actually this strong? Shanks is also strong. But by comparison, Grandpa is clearly even more terrifying!"

Beside him,

Makino's face was full of tension and worry.

Especially...

Seeing the scene of Hongfa being one-sidedly beaten down, the worry in her heart grew even thicker.
