Chapter 967

The words fell silent.

Little Lufei's eyes glazed over, his spirit dazed.

Lu En's words

truly shattered Little Lufei's previous impression of the Red-Haired Pirates.

He hadn't expected it.

The Red-Haired Pirates could be this despicable!

Using the lives of the villagers of Windmill Village…

to threaten Grandpa Kapu!

How vile!

Such tactics made even Little Lufei, this brat, feel rage and disgust.

Beside him,

Marcino silently lowered her head.

Even though she held great fondness for the Red-Haired Pirate, she could not refute Lu En's words.

Because…

Lu En spoke the truth!

The Red-Haired Pirates' current actions were indeed extremely despicable!

"Is this what a pirate is?"

Little Lufei opened his mouth, murmuring to himself.

It must be said.

After what had just happened, and with Lu En's guidance…

Little Lufei's understanding of pirates had quietly and subtly shifted.

He had thought

that pirates were all free-spirited, carefree individuals!

Sailing these seas…

experiencing all kinds of exotic customs.

encountering diverse folkways.

But now,

Lu En's few words had forcibly overturned Little Lufei's perception of pirates.

Making Little Lufei truly realize

that…

pirates were all vicious!

Though they might treat others kindly in daily life, once faced with life-or-death peril, the true cruel and ruthless nature of pirates would fully reveal itself.

For example,

the Red-Haired Pirates before him!

"If they hadn't resorted to such despicable methods,"

"with Grandpa's immense combat power…"

"today, the Red-Haired Pirates would have been utterly annihilated, buried forever in this sea."

Pausing,

Lu En patted Little Lufei's small head.

"Little Lufei, look again, carefully."

"Who is truly protecting Windmill Village—the pirates, or the Marines?"

"If Grandpa hadn't stepped forward, Windmill Village would already have been sunk and destroyed by the Red-Haired Pirates. As for the villagers? They would have suffered heavy casualties."

"Those villagers…"

"are the elders who raised you!"

"Do you want to see them blown apart by cannon fire, dying on the spot, their bodies and bones possibly never preserved?"

"Today, I solemnly tell you,"

"all pirates on this sea are utterly vicious!"

"You must remember this well!"

Lu En's face was serious.

After this incident,

he believed…

from now on,

Little Lufei Bijiang Society harbor hatred toward pirates.

"Though the Red-Haired Pirates chose this desperate tactic to threaten Grandpa, their bombardment of Windmill Village is an undeniable fact."

"No matter their intent, their actions fill me with revulsion!"

Changing Little Lufei's worldview could not be rushed.

It must be gradual!

Subtle transformation!

With Lu En's teaching…

At this moment,

Little Lufei lifted his head and gazed toward the direction of the Red Forest.

A flicker of disgust and anger slowly rose in his eyes.

"Shanks and the others are utterly despicable!"
