Chapter 91: Beaten to Death on the Spot

Inside the tavern.

The atmosphere was bizarre!

Deathly silence!

Looking in every direction,

one could see clearly.

One after another, the pirates lay on the ground unconscious, completely out cold, passed out, not moving at all.

The tavern that had been bustling and lively just moments ago…

In just a few breaths' time.

This place had become a stretch of utter silence!

Not a single sound!

A multicolored halo flickered, scattering down from the ceiling, driving away the gloom in the tavern's corners.

Buggy's face was filled with terror, his whole countenance struck with shock.

The astonishing guess that had surfaced in his mind a moment ago had left him scared stiff on the spot.

"How—how could this possibly be?!"

"I must be out of my mind!"

"This little brat…"

"How could he possibly possess Conqueror's Haki?!"

"And how could he possibly…"

"At such an age, have already mastered Conqueror's Haki?"

Buggy's lips trembled, an icy chill running down his spine.

He had been terrified by the guess in his own heart.

But apart from that guess…

There was no second possibility.

Besides this little brat right in front of him, who else could it be?

Who else on the scene would unleash Conqueror's Haki against a group of pirates like them?

No one!

There was only one answer!

Even if that answer was something Buggy found impossible to accept.

Still, it was an indisputable fact.

"This little brat…"

"Actually possesses the king's potential that only one in a million possesses?!"

"This old man actually ran into a monster with the king's potential right here in the East Blue?"

"And before all this, this old man had stupidly gone and provoked such a monster on his own? Even bragged that he'd cut this monster into eight pieces?"

Recalling everything that had happened before made the terror in Buggy's heart grow even thicker.

He himself vaguely realized.

Today,

He seemed to have provoked an utterly terrifying existence!

A monster who possessed the king's potential!

And moreover, one who was…

A freak who, at only four years old, had already mastered Conqueror's Haki!

"Even Shanks back in the day couldn't manage to master Conqueror's Haki at four."

"And what's more…"

"I've never once heard of anyone who could fully master Conqueror's Haki before the age of ten, able to unleash and wield it freely."

"Yet today of all days, I've run into such an example."

"An example you might only see once in a hundred years!"

"Unheard of through the ages! Peerless under heaven!"

The more Buggy thought about it, the colder his fear ran; his mood plunged to rock bottom, his body as though it had fallen into an abyss ten thousand fathoms deep, sending goosebumps prickling all over him as he shivered.

As a former crewmate of the Pirate King Luo Jie, Buggy's knowledge and experience were naturally not something the pirates of the East Blue could be compared to.

But even so,

Seeing an example of someone who, at only four years old, could master Conqueror's Haki with such flawless ease still left Buggy utterly shocked and beside himself.

No matter how powerful Shanks was…

He couldn't do it!

The Pirate King Luo Jie…

Mr. Lei Li…

They couldn't do it either!

There had never been an example of someone mastering Conqueror's Haki at only four years old.

"Mastering Conqueror's Haki at four?"

"What kind of concept is that?"

"Just what kind of astonishing, heaven-defying talent does this little brat possess?"

"Unimaginable!"

Buggy's whole body trembled violently.

He had already understood.

At this very moment,

he had brought upon himself a monstrous catastrophe!

He had provoked an unprecedented, world-shaking monster!

"This great爷's luck really is too damn bad."

"A monster who mastered Conqueror's Haki at four years old—even tossed into that monster-ridden sea of the New World, it'd be a never-before-seen rarity!"

"Why…"

"Out of all places, in this weakest of East Seas, did this great爷 just happen to run into a once-in-a-century monster like this?"

Buggy thought in terror.

He was certain,

that with Lu En's current talent, even in the New World he'd be top-tier.

Therefore.

He simply couldn't understand…

Why would a monster like this appear in the East Sea?!

This isn't scientific at all!

Raising his head,

Buggy's face went pale, a look of terror on it, as he gazed at Lu En: "Kid, let's make a deal. You and I stop here, turn hostility into friendship—how about it?"

Clearly,

Buggy had chickened out.

He was scared.

A monster who had mastered Conqueror's Haki at only four years old—Buggy didn't dare treat him like an ordinary Mao Touxiaozi anymore.

Although mastering Conqueror's Haki didn't mean the opponent's Shilijiu Society would be very strong.

But Buggy wasn't willing to gamble.

Nor did he dare gamble!

What if…

this monster's strength really was that terrifying?

Then what was he supposed to do?

Buggy was convinced.

A person with the potential of a king would, in the future, certainly become the topmost monster of this sea!

At this moment,

he had even already forgotten.

The matter of being called Red-Nose just now.

The fury in his heart was doused like a basin of cold water by that Conqueror's Haki.

With Buggy taking the initiative to back down…

all around,

as the last survivors, a few pirates led by the blue-haired man stared at Buggy's figure with blank, horrified faces, as if they couldn't believe it.
