Chapter 90

They couldn't help asking: "B... Baki boss, what on earth is going on?"

It could be seen,

Not only were these few survivors terrified.

At this moment,

Even Baki, captain of the Baki Pirates, a notorious sea pirate whose fearsome reputation stretched across the entire East Blue, could not help but display emotions of shock, awe, and disbelief.

"This, how is it possible?!"

Baki's eyes were filled with terror and horror as he stared blankly at the nearly a hundred of his men lying unconscious all around him.

Nearly a hundred men, wiped out in an instant, not a single one left standing!

Only a handful of survivors remained...

The cold, sinister, and brutal expression that had once been on Baki's face had now turned into deep dread.

He was stunned.

He never expected...

In the East Blue,

This sea region dubbed the weakest.

He, once again, felt that familiar power!

Yes!

For the terrifying aura that had just swept over his body, Baki had experienced it more than once; he knew this power too well.

Back then,

His good friend Red-Haired Shanks possessed this very potential, and had more than once made Baki personally feel the horror of this power.

"This shouldn't be happening!"

"This is the East Blue!"

"Not the Grand Line! Not the New World!"

"The East Blue, dubbed the weakest sea—how could this power appear here?!"

"Could I be dreaming?"

Baki opened his mouth, his eyes glazed over, the shock on his face lingering without fading.

He knew this power too well.

Precisely because he knew it...

Therefore,

He showed such intense shock.

Even,

Causing Baki to completely lose his composure.

"That power on Shanks..."

"There's no mistake!"

"My instincts could never be wrong."

"It's that power!"

"Dubbed..."

Baki swallowed hard, his heart pounding harder with every thought.

At this moment,

The blue-haired man couldn't help asking: "Baki boss, have you figured something out?"

"Across this sea..."

"There exist three utterly terrifying techniques!"

"Those supreme top-tier experts and sea monsters can mostly master only two of them."

"And the third..."

"Is called, Conqueror's Haki!"

Baki blurted out involuntarily: "Dubbed as a king's potential, appearing only once in a million! Every person with a king's potential will inevitably become the most terrifying monster on this sea!"

"If I'm not mistaken,"

"The aura that just wiped out nearly a hundred men across the entire area is none other than the legendary Conqueror's Haki!"

"In this tiny East Blue, dubbed the weakest sea."

"I never imagined that one day, I would feel Conqueror's Haki!"

Baki's heart trembled violently.

He had already hidden himself in the East Blue...

Yet he never expected,

That he would still feel Conqueror's Haki!

This power is one that, even across the entire first half of the Grand Line, only the top-tier monsters possess!

Today,

He encountered it himself in the East Blue!

What kind of luck is this?!

"C... Conqueror's Haki..."

The surviving pirates stood frozen, their heads ringing.

Although they had never heard of Conqueror's Haki, merely from Baki's description, they could deeply comprehend just how terrifying the power called Conqueror's Haki truly was.

"Conqueror's Haki is the exclusive domain of monsters on this sea!"

"How could it possibly appear in a godforsaken place like the East Sea?!"

Buggy was deeply moved.

He was certain—

that power which could instantly kill nearly a hundred of his subordinates on the spot—

was undoubtedly the legendary Conqueror's Haki!

"Boss Buggy, who exactly was it that unleashed such a terrifying power?"

The blue-haired man asked in a trembling voice.

Hearing this,

Buggy couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath of cold air.

Prompted by his subordinate, he suddenly realized something even more horrifying and terrifying.

Then,

his gaze shifted, fixing dead ahead.

Staring at that four-year-old boy, bare-chested, his upper body lined with muscle.

In an instant,

a chill surged from the soles of his feet straight up to the crown of his head—

leaving Buggy feeling waves of creeping dread, his scalp tingling.

"The person who just burst out with Conqueror's Haki—"

"It couldn't be…"

"This little brat, could it?!"
