Kaido! You're Pretty Arrogant, Kid!

Only then did the Marines react. They looked at the pirates behind them—they were dead!

What?

All of them were dead?

Every Marine was dumbfounded. They had never expected that in less than a second, all those pirates would die. In that brief instant, the pirates had endured seventy-two hours of mental torture. Eye-killing was not Queen of the Three Calamities' strength; faced with a mental attack, they had no chance of surviving.

Mu Chen had initially considered using Conqueror's Haki, but the pirates' strengths varied greatly. Some were even at the rear admiral level, so basic Conqueror's Haki would not cover them comprehensively.

To be safe, Mu Chen ultimately used Reading. Mu Chen also wanted to test its power. However, one pirate was still alive on the scene. Xiao Duo had also been affected by Mu Chen's Reading, but he had not died—he had merely been frightened unconscious. Right, there was still him. Mu Chen remembered that Theodore was a Devil Fruit user. Thankfully, he had not been killed, or those tens of thousands of points would have gone down the drain.

It seemed that anyone below rear admiral level would basically die without question after being hit by Reading. Against those above rear admiral level, it depended on the situation, though it could still inflict considerable damage. Theodore, for example, was probably around rear admiral level and fairly strong, yet he had still fainted.

As for Queen of the Three Calamities, after facing the mental attack, he could not even properly use Armament Haki. Its power was actually quite decent. It would be very useful in future battles. It seemed he had overused it.

Blood tears slowly trickled from Mu Chen's right eye. *After all, I had only just acquired the Mangekyō Blood Sharingan and hadn't mastered it
