Chapter 965

Boom!

……

The entire battlefield became especially chaotic.

Bombardments of shells and shells…

The scene was utterly chaotic,

dizzying to behold.

Captain Kapu alone continuously dodged incoming shells, preventing harm to the villagers of Windmill Village.

At this moment.

At the port of Windmill Village.

Magino, the old village chief, and Little Lufei stared blankly at the Red-Haired Pirates bombarding Windmill Village, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

"They…"

"Are they attacking Windmill Village?"

The old village chief asked, his voice trembling.

"Why are Shanks and the others attacking Windmill Village?!"

"Why are they targeting the villagers?"

Little Lufei clenched his fists tightly, unable to hold back his anger as he demanded answers.

Beside them,

Magino opened her mouth but could not speak.

Why attack these simple villagers?

Why?!

The three could not understand at all.

They only knew one thing.

That was…

The Red-Haired Pirates intended to kill the villagers of Windmill Village!

At this very moment,

their impression of the Red-Haired Pirates plummeted sharply.

隐隐间，

They even developed a deep loathing for the Red-Haired Pirates.

At this moment,

Tap-tap-tap—

A slow, steady sound of footsteps approached.

Without any warning…

Completely unexpected throughout.

Then,

Before the three could react at all,

they saw,

a blood-soaked boy appear beside Little Lufei, standing silently with them at the port, gazing toward the direction of the Red-Headed ship.

The boy was covered in wounds, battered and bruised.

A large patch of blood stained his body.

Every inch of him was wounded…

Like a man made of blood.

This man was Lu En, who had just been punched away by the furious Shanks.

"Have you seen the true face of pirates, Lufei?"

Ruffling Lufei's head, Lu En spoke with heavy words.

"Cough! Cough!"

He coughed violently, a trickle of blood seeping from his lips.

His expression remained blank, unaffected, not even a flicker of a frown.

He casually raised his right hand and wiped the blood from his lips.

To him,

bearing a heavy burden of injuries was already routine.

For this,

he remained utterly unmoved.

Even though his injuries were severe, he felt no concern whatsoever.

Regarding his own formidable physique…

he was still quite confident.

He estimated,

even in his current severely wounded state, without any special treatment, he would only need three or five days to fully recover.

Therefore,

he naturally had no worry about his current grave injuries.

As long as he was given time, he could heal completely, leaving no lingering harm or hidden injuries.

"Mr. Lu En, are you all right?"

Seeing Lu En's bloody, pitiful state, Machino's lovely face was filled with worry, and she couldn't help asking, her expression brimming with concern.

Her concern came from the heart,

and Lu En could see that.

Machino was a very gentle woman.

Lu En had noticed this long ago.

Otherwise,

she would not have cared for Little Lufei so much.

Few women could tolerate the mischievous Little Lufei.

Only the gentle Machino could.

"It's nothing serious."

"Just superficial wounds—they'll heal naturally in a few days."

"Sister Machino, don't worry."

Lu En smiled, unconcerned.

"Really?"

Machino was still worried.

After all,

Lu En's physical condition looked utterly horrific.

Almost every inch of his body was without a single intact spot.

Blood was everywhere,

wounds were everywhere…

Covered in wounds,

lacerated all over.

As if he had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and seas of blood, a thick, overwhelming stench of blood radiated from Lu En's body, filling the surrounding air.

As the villagers smelled the blood-laden air drifting through, the old village chief's wrinkled face showed deep concern.

He asked: "Lu En boy, don't ever be so reckless again. You're still young—you don't need to fight Captain Kapu so desperately. With your talent and potential, given time, you will surely become one of the greatest强者 on the sea."
