"Major?"

"Could you hurry up? If you're any slower, I'm afraid something terrible might happen." Kuro's voice was very calm, as calm as if he were about to die.

His expression was very calm now, his face was neither sad nor happy, his expression was as still as a deep well, and his eyes seemed to have lost their spirit.

What happened?

Is the major angry?

He seems to be a difficult person to get along with.

It's just an accident that I was handcuffed. They weren't even fully handcuffed. Would it be the end of the world if they were handcuffed?

The navy lowered his head and continued to unlock the handcuffs.

And Kuro is now...

I'm feeling very anxious.

The effect of Seastone is similar to that of seawater, which can temporarily turn a user into an ordinary person and cause them to lose their physical strength.

However, it doesn't affect the passive ability of the user; their physique remains the same, and it also doesn't affect the products created using the Devil Fruit's power. However, the user also cannot use their power to destroy Seastone.

Kuro knew all this; he had brought some Seastone with him when he was on vacation in the East Blue and often used it for experiments.

Bringing him sea stone would isolate his abilities, temporarily turning him into an ordinary person.

After Clow got his hands on the Float Float Fruit's power, he divided it into three major stages based on how much Shiki had used it before.

In the first stage, one uses physical strength to maintain the object they are touching.

In the second stage, the objects that are touched only require stamina when they are first activated, but not afterwards. This is the stage that the Golden Lion has reached.

The third is the legendary awakening, but Kuro hasn't developed this to the point where he can predict exactly what the effects of awakening will be.

While Seastone might affect his stamina, for Kuro, that little bit of stamina made little difference.

But the key point is that he reaped the rewards too quickly. No matter how meticulous his training or how perfectly he mastered it, he was still essentially in the first stage.

Seastone will temporarily disable his abilities!

Rumble...

A muffled sound suddenly echoed from high above.

Aokiji looked up at the clear blue sky without any rain clouds and frowned, saying, "There was no thunder? How could there be a sound?"
