Chapter 952: Classic Scene

This slash,

showed not the slightest hesitation!

Extremely decisive.

Lu En held the famed blade Griffen and, in less than half a second, coated the sharp edge with Armament Haki.

His speed was too fast.

Less than two seconds had passed…

His Griffen, sheathed in Armament Haki armor, slashed toward Red Hair's left arm.

From the start,

he never intended to kill Red Hair.

Perhaps he believed,

he lacked the strength to kill Red Hair.

So he planned to first test Red Hair…

Ready to sever Red Hair's left arm!

But,

even Lu En himself had not anticipated it.

Red Hair was already severely wounded, his body overwhelmed by too many injuries and too many blows from Captain Kapu, causing his body to gradually collapse under the strain.

And…

At the very moment Lu En launched his sudden assassination attempt,

all of Red Hair's internal injuries erupted at once.

Briefly, rendering Red Hair unable to move.

Countless coincidences,

had created the scene now unfolding: Lu En, wielding Griffen, slashing down at Red Hair's left side.

From beginning to end,

Red Hair never reacted in time.

Two seconds are brief.

Just one inhale and exhale.

A single breath…

is just a few seconds.

But in the clash of top-tier powerhouses,

a few seconds often decide life or death.

For instance,

Lu En and Red Hair right now!

Red Hair should feel fortunate…

Lu En did not come aiming to kill him.

Otherwise,

could Red Hair have dodged Lu En's slash?

No one knows.

Now,

Lu En's famed blade Griffen was not aimed at Red Hair's neck, but only his left arm.

29 This, perhaps, is Red Hair's wan xing amid misfortune.

At the moment Lu En launched his assassination attempt,

not only did Red Hair feel contempt and disdain,

but even Ben Beike Man, at the nearby port, wore a sneering expression.

"Even if Red Hair is already severely wounded…"

"he is not something a brat like you can hope to shake!"

"Punch Demon, you little brat—surely you don't think that just because you held your own against me, you've earned the power to challenge Red Hair? You can't be serious?"

"Let Red Hair give this hateful brat a lesson he won't forget!"

Ben Beike Man sneered inwardly.

He watched with interest the impending clash between Lu En and Red Hair.

He seemed to already see

Lu En being instantly killed by Red Hair.

Thinking of it, his heart surged with excitement and exhilaration.

Fighting Lu En to a draw…

had filled him with unprecedented defeat and resentment.

Now,

he could hardly wait to see Lu En suffer.

On the other side,

Ye Su Bu and Luo Qi Lu, seeing Lu En raise Griffen and strike at Red Hair,

exchanged a glance and smiled with absolute confidence.

"This monster, Punch Demon…"

"Could it be they think our boss is weak?"

"Only before something as terrifying as Hero Kapu would anyone get the illusion that our boss is weak."

"Now that Fist Demon has come out himself, he'll soon realize just how strong our boss truly is!"

"Boss, you've got to give him a deep lesson."

Both of them thought this with perfect unspoken understanding.

They shared the same thought as Ben Beike Man.

Even,

Captain Kapu, who was not far away,

When he saw Lu En rashly charge at Red Hair with Griffin, Kapu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, his eyes carrying a degree of gravity and seriousness.

"Brat, even though Red Hair is badly wounded, he's still not something you can easily shake."

"This time, I'll let this serve as your lesson—don't be so blindly impulsive again. Red Hair is a powerhouse you're clearly not ready to face."

"At the very least…"

"You need to wait two more years!"

Kapu thought to himself.

He wasn't worried about Lu En's safety.

He believed.

His grandson could never be killed so easily!

Of course.

A lesson was inevitable.

But…

Could Red Hair kill Lu En?

That was virtually impossible!

Far out at sea,

On the warship, Bokato and all the naval elites around him dragged a heavy load, gripping the wooden railings with both hands, their eyes filled with unease as they watched Lu En attack Red Hair.

"Too impulsive."

"General Lu En, this time you were truly reckless."

"Red Hair may not be a match for General Kapu, but to General Lu En, he is an unquestionable terror."

"General Lu En isn't in top condition either—facing Red Hair Shanks alone, he'll likely be obliterated in a single blow."

"Even without his sword, Red Hair's strength remains formidable."

"…"

Voices buzzed everywhere.

The two hundred-plus crewmen aboard the Red Hair's ship all fixed their gazes on Lu En and Red Hair.

Seeing Lu En attempt to attack Red Hair…

They burst into laughter.

Their eyes brimmed with contempt and mockery.

"I admit, Fist Demon is a terrifying monster. But the question is—can he really hope to shake our captain? It's pure fantasy."
