Chapter 370 Deterrence
"Ok?"
Don Achino frowned slightly; he knew the newcomer's identity all too well. In fact, he had come specifically for Blue Kili. Blue Kili had fallen in love with one of Don Achino's daughters, and Don Achino, in turn, coveted Blue Kili's position within the Longleg tribe.
Not only is the son of the Longleg Clan elder exceptionally powerful, but he also wields considerable influence within the clan. Therefore, Don Achino hopes to solidify the relationship between the two families through the marriage of Blue Killie to his daughter.
However, to Jean-Achino's utter surprise, Blue Kily was so rude!
If he were the only one present, it wouldn't be so bad if he just barged in like that, but right now, there was an important person sitting next to him—Aini.
Given Blue Killy's status and power, how could he possibly drink and make merry with Aini?
If he hadn't intentionally used Blue Kili's identity to form an alliance with the Longlegs, Blue Kili wouldn't even have had the right to meet him.
Thinking of this, Don Achino couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, cursing inwardly, "This guy really has no sense at all!"
Just then, Aini raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly taking a liking to the man in front of him named Blue Kiley. Although Blue Kiley seemed a bit dim-witted to him, he wasn't stupid and immediately sensed something was amiss.
Aini quickly turned his head, his gaze landing directly on Don Achino, and asked bluntly, "Is this person here to see you?"
Don Achino's face showed a hint of helplessness. He knew, of course, that Aini had seen through Blue Kiley's intentions, but he couldn't deny it directly, so he could only nod and say, "That's right."
After saying this, Don Achino paused slightly, as if considering what to say next. After a moment, he added, "This young man is ignorant, General Aini, please don't take it to heart."
Before he could finish speaking, Don Achino abruptly turned to look at Blue Killie and ordered him without any politeness, "Get out!"
Blue Killy's expression instantly turned somewhat ugly; he was clearly very dissatisfied with Don Achino's decision. However, just as he was about to speak in his defense, Aini's eyes suddenly underwent a subtle change.
Aini's eyes narrowed slightly, his already sharp gaze now like a drawn sword, piercing Blue Kily's eyes. At the same time, a terrifying power erupted from Aini's body like a volcanic eruption.
The force was so overwhelming that Blue Kiley didn't even have time to react before he was struck as if by a heavy hammer. His body swayed violently, as if he had lost his balance, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.
If it weren't for his own strength, his unwavering will, and the fact that Aini didn't go for the kill, Blue Killy would probably have collapsed to the ground long ago.
Just then, Aini finally spoke up unhurriedly: "You seem to be a few years older than me, yet you act so clumsy and flustered? Don't you know that some circles are not suitable for you? Forcing yourself into them will only lead to your downfall!"
Upon hearing this, Don Achino gasped. He knew Blue Killy's strength; in the first half of the Grand Line, Blue Killy was considered a formidable opponent. Yet, this man of considerable strength appeared utterly helpless against Enni, unable even to withstand his Conqueror's Haki.
Wait a minute! Don Achino suddenly realized something. If what Aini released just now was Conqueror's Haki, then how come he didn't feel anything? But if it wasn't Conqueror's Haki, then what kind of power could suppress Blue Killie so badly? Looking at Blue Killie's face now, it was as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, completely bloodless.
This power is simply beyond imagination!
Could it be that his Conqueror's Haki has become so powerful that it can be used against a single person?
You know, this kind of single-target technique can only be mastered by those with top-tier Conqueror's Haki! Thinking of this, Don Achino gained a deeper and more realistic understanding of Enni's strength.
After all, his understanding of Aini's strength before this was limited to newspapers and that live broadcast. Although he could roughly deduce Aini's strength level through these channels, it was only an indirect understanding and far less reliable than experiencing it firsthand.
"call……"
Don Achino breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly relieved. Thankfully, he hadn't chosen to confront Aini directly, but instead opted to share a drink with him. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
However, in stark contrast to Don Achino's relief, Blue Killie was in a state of utter anxiety. His heart was in his throat, as if it would leap out at any moment.
Blue Killy has always challenged everyone with his own strength. Even when faced with a truly formidable enemy, he can rely on his special status to make the other party helpless against him.
But now, facing Aini's terrifying strength, he truly understands what fear is.
Only now did he realize, as if waking from a dream, that compared to the world's top experts, his meager strength was utterly insignificant, a drop in the ocean, completely vulnerable. The identity he had once been so proud of now seemed utterly meaningless.
He swallowed hard, a dry gurgling sound coming from his throat. Only then did he realize how foolish and reckless his earlier intrusion had been—it was practically courting death!
Finally, with nowhere else to turn, he could only cast a pleading look at Don Achino. His eyes held a desperate glint, as if saying, "Please, save me!"
Seeing this, Don Achino coughed twice, seemingly trying to get the other's attention. He had always held Blue Killy in high regard. Regardless of whether Blue Killy ultimately decided to join the Navy or marry into the Longleg Clan, there were potential benefits for their families.
Therefore, Don Achino would naturally not give up this opportunity easily. Saving Blue Killy would undoubtedly be the best outcome for him.
Aini was also successfully drawn to Don Achino's cough, so he turned to look.
