Conqueror's Haki Wipeout, the Cruel Truth

Vivi, Nami, and Tashigi looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, watching the members of Baroque Works opposite them with vigilance.

Recognized us, are you scared now?

Miss. Doublefinger covered her mouth with a chuckle, looking completely at ease.

In her eyes, only Luo Wen was worth a second look, while the others could only be counted as making up the numbers.

Bounty hunters from the East Blue, to make all of us dispatch together, you're worth bragging about.

Mr. 4 carried the cannon-like Lassoo on his back and laughed loudly.

The others laughed heartily as well, having already considered victory in the bag.

With so many of their high-ranking officers and mid-level elites, dealing with Luo Wen and his group was more than enough.

Struggle in despair, we won't hold back!

Mr. 1 said with a sinister grin.

He wanted Luo Wen and the others to die in terror, fiercely avenging their previous comrades.

You captured so many of us, today you'll pay the price!

Merry Christmas looked arrogant, her fat face jiggling.

She really wouldn't have dared to act like this alone in front of Luo Wen, but with so many people around now, she puffed herself up again.

You're too noisy, can you say something useful for a change, like how your progress is going?

Luo Wen picked his ear and said flatly.

He had no idea how many times he had heard that set of rhetoric, his ears were practically growing calluses.

Compared to these things, Luo Wen was a bit more concerned about the progress of the plan.

Still acting so arrogant even now?

Mr. 1 sneered.

He had previously thought Luo Wen was something special since he dared to provoke Crocodile.

Seeing him in person now, he was just a hothead with a stronger aura, still failing to recognize his own situation when facing so many people.

Mr. 1, stop wasting breath with this brat, finish them off quickly and go back to report!

Miss. Doublefinger could no longer wait.

Now that the Utopia Project had reached its final moment, they needed to hurry back, and they might even be able to lend a hand.

Seeing that the crowd before him refused to surrender and still wanted to resist, Luo Wen had no mind to play around with them.

Since you're standing and refusing to speak, then lie down and talk!

Luo Wen sighed, his tone turning sharp.

Boom!

An invisible, overwhelmingly formidable aura surged out from within Luo Wen's body.

The next moment, countless purple-black lightning bolts descended, shrouding the entire city, with the members of Baroque Works receiving primary attention.

Even though Luo Wen intentionally concentrated the might of his Conqueror's Haki onto the people of Baroque Works.

The ordinary people throughout the city still felt a natural-disaster-like oppression, instantly fainting under the aftershocks of the Conqueror's Haki.

The originally chaotic and noisy streets and the citizens fleeing in panic all fell into an infant-like sleep.

The entire city was silent.

As for the Baroque Works members who were specifically targeted by Luo Wen, their state was far worse.

The terrifying Conqueror's Haki instantly made the agent subordinates plummet as if into hell, foaming at the mouth and passing out on the ground.

Only five officer agents prostrated themselves on the ground, panting heavily and barely managing not to faint.

The legendary Conqueror's Haki, how could it appear here?!

Mr. 1 was terrified to the extreme, crying out in a loss of composure.

Too powerful, this aura was too powerful, just like mountains and seas overturning, heaven and earth splitting apart!

They had no power to resist whatsoever, and could only kneel and submit under this majesty.

Mr. 1 struggled, wanting to stand up, but no matter how hard he tried, even to the point where his bones creaked, he could not stand up under this pressure.

The other officer agents, meanwhile, lay like salted fish with dull eyes, stripped of their dreams on the ground.

They even felt it was somewhat absurd that monsters like this, rarely seen even in the New World, had actually been crossed by them.

Luo Wen ignored Mr. 1 and first looked toward Nami and the others behind him.

Nami, Vivi, and Tashigi, despite Luo Wen's deliberate efforts to shield them, still felt the impact as large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads.

After a few attempts, Luo Wen restricted the range of his Conqueror's Haki to the area immediately surrounding Mr. 1 and his crew.

Sorry, I'm still a bit unpracticed.

Luo Wen cast an apologetic look at Nami and the others.

He had only acquired his Conqueror's Haki a few days ago, so it was still too rough.

We're fine, Luo Wen, you're simply too strong!

Nami said excitedly.

She clutched her violently beating heart; just a moment ago, her heart had leapt to her throat.

Tashigi and Vivi were also utterly shocked. Moments before, they had felt Luo Wen was like a demon god descending into the world, overbearing to the extreme.

Seeing that they were unharmed, Luo Wen finally set his mind at ease.

Luo Wen turned around and walked over to the group from Baroque Works.

Now, can you talk about your plan?

Luo Wen looked down at Mr. 1, asking nonchalantly.

Hmph, keep dreaming!

Looking into Luo Wen's indifferent eyes, a fire welled up in Mr. 1's heart as he spoke in a rigid tone,

What about you guys, are you all this stubborn?

Luo Wen ignored him and turned to ask the other officers instead.

Although the others shifted their eyes away, they still maintained their silence.

Heh, I admire your backbone, but I don't agree with it.

You were the one jumping around the most just now, weren't you?

Luo Wen said with a sneer, turning his gaze to Mr. 1.

Huh?!

Mr. 1 widened his eyes, not knowing what Luo Wen wanted to do.

Under Mr. 1's startled gaze, Luo Wen raised his left foot and stomped down fiercely on his right wrist, grinding it back and forth.

Ah!

Mr. 1 let out a miserable scream as his fingers rolled back and forth beneath Luo Wen's foot, skin and flesh continuously scraping against the ground while a piercing, bone-deep pain constantly tortured his soul.

Ah! Ah!

Mr. 3 endured the excruciating pain and immediately activated the abilities of the Dice-Dice Fruit.

He transformed his right hand into something as hard as steel, even growing sharp blades.

Luo Wen merely sneered, coated his foot in a layer of Armament Haki, and continued to grind down.

The blade on Mr. 1's right hand was ruthlessly crushed to pieces, and his steel-hard right hand was reduced to a bloody pulp under Luo Wen's immense strength.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Mr. 1's shrieks pierced the firmament.

The subordinate agents who had previously been knocked out by Luo Wen's Conqueror's Haki woke up, and the moment they opened their eyes, they saw Luo Wen torturing Mr. 1.

They looked at Luo Wen's figure with utter terror; strong in strength and so cruel besides, it was too terrifying!

Now, which of you will tell me what the plan actually is and how far along it has progressed?

Luo Wen swept his gaze around, coldly scanning the crowd of Baroque Works.

I'll talk!

I'll talk!

Under Luo Wen's pressure, several subordinate agents vied with each other to explain, quickly making the plan crystal clear.

Using Dance Powder to cause a three-year nationwide drought, stoking the conflict between the Royal Army and the citizens, assassinating the framed Cobra, and usurping this country in the name of heroes...

And all of this had already progressed to its final step.

What, he did all of this?!

Vivi's eyes were bloodshot, the anger in her heart uncontrollable.

She had once thought Crocodile was merely stirring up conflicts between the citizens and the country, never expecting that all the suffering in this land was entirely his conspiracy.

Even her father would soon meet a vicious end.

Don't worry, everything is still in time, we'll deal with him.

Luo Wen stood behind Vivi, offering gentle comfort.
