The Great Pirate Era.
The great seas surge and churn, powerhouses destroy and annihilate, each fighting their own battles. It's utterly—
Demotivating!
I, Russil Kuro, age tw...
The sound was not an illusion; it accurately hit Kuro.
At the moment of striking, he must be a physical entity, especially for such a powerful move.
So Charlotte Linlin's fist slammed into him, the immense force creating a shockwave that sent Kuro's body hurtling like a cannonball, sending him plummeting downwards and crashing right into the bottomless abyss created by his powers.
Bang!!
A cloud of smoke, resembling a mushroom cloud, rose from the spot, causing the surrounding ground to tremble.
"Kuro!!"
"Ma ma ma ma!"
Lida cried out in alarm and was about to rush into the huge cloud of smoke, but at that moment, Charlotte Linlin, surrounded by the winds of soul, grabbed Napoleon in mid-air and sent him plummeting to the ground with his tongue lolling out.
"Room!"
At that moment, Law activated his ability, quickly transferring the people around him from the high altitude, directly clearing the low altitude below. If he used his ability again, they could reach the ground and escape from there.
This is a rare opportunity, and they won't miss it.
"Hey, Law, isn't this the perfect opportunity to defeat Big Mom?" Kidd was still somewhat unwilling.
The Straw Hat Pirates rightfully defeated Kaido in a one-on-one fight, and the two of them couldn't even handle Big Mom? That's so embarrassing!
"Now is not the time to discuss this. I don't think Jinni will be killed by this punch," Luo said as he moved away.
"Then let's wait for them..."
Before Kidd could finish speaking, Law interrupted him, saying, "You're out of stamina!"
These words made Kidd grit his teeth, but he remained silent.
Indeed, I'm running out of energy.
It wasn't enough to begin with, and they even withstood Kuro's ultimate attack, so it was even less enough. Although it's a pity that this opportunity has disappeared, preserving themselves is the most important thing right now.
"What a pity..." Law sighed, looking at Luffy in Jinbe's arms with a complicated expression.
As a doctor, he could see that Luffy had paid a heavy price to defeat Kaido and even fight against Kinni. It was an irreversible loss that couldn't be saved by simple medical skills and treatment.
Whether Big Mom wins or the Navy wins, Kaido has nothing to do with them anymore.
There's nothing they can do now; the situation changed the moment that admiral arrived.
"Let's get ready to leave, Room!"
Luo stretched out his hand, activated his ability, and disappeared with the people, then...
They reappeared high in the sky.
Luo's expression changed, and he stared in horror into the dust and smoke.
The chaotic atmosphere around us has returned...
The Golden Lion activated its power!
The smoke and dust suddenly dissipated, revealing Kuro's body. He was now imprinted on the ground in a starfish shape, baring his teeth and showing traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had vomited blood.
“Kuro, Big Mom!” Lida called out.
"I know."
Kuro said something and then looked at Big Mom, who was charging towards him violently. He tried to pull his arm out, but couldn't. He then gave up and shook his head: "Really, I knew I was going to get hurt, but I didn't expect it to be this bad."
I dare not say anything else, but at least his hands and feet are broken, and his only intact right hand can still move a little.
Before receiving Lingling's punch, her slash wasn't exactly an illusion. Kuro didn't have the ability to completely manipulate the Four Emperors into a killing intent illusion. That slash was a combination of the illusion and his own speed to dodge. By combining the two, he avoided the old woman's attack and was then able to deliver that slash.
But he managed to dodge it, yet he didn't completely escape it; the essence of nonsensical literature was vividly displayed in him at that moment.
The spiritual aura surrounding Napoleon actually diminished his domineering presence, and then he was struck by a punch.
The Soul Lightning shattered his already weakened Haki, and the Soul Lightning directly attached itself to his body. Although he could resist the remaining killing intent, the Soul Wind entangled him. There was no reason for Kuro to use the killing intent to hold back Linlin; her Soul Wind couldn't hold him back. Therefore, he truly received the punch filled with monstrous strength and Haki, taking the punch with his bare flesh!
Kuro's body is probably only slightly stronger than Shanks'. It's just a normal human body. Without the protection of Haki, he's nothing. He doesn't have the extraordinary talent of the old Yonko.
Without any protective aura, even a god would be injured if he took Charlotte Linlin's full-force punch.
Moreover, although the soul fire from that punch was promptly covered up with killing intent, even after burning for a while, it still consumed two or three months of his lifespan.
That's how abnormally powerful they are.
This is irreversible, and Kuro can't do anything about it. But fortunately, he thinks he pays attention to health and living for over a hundred years is not a problem. A few months' lifespan is fine.
"Kuro!!"
Lida let out another scream, clenched her teeth, and rushed in front of Kuro, her fists surging with energy as she aimed directly at the sky.
Because Charlotte Linlin is closer!
Not only her, but also the werewolf that Kro had transformed into quickly ran to the front and blocked the way. Moore teleported to his side and was about to reach out to help him move away.
“No need,” Kuro said bluntly. “She’s already dead!”
"Oh my god, I think you're the one who's dead!"
Charlotte Linlin, holding Napoleon aloft, her soul ablaze with fury, cried out, "I will kill you all!"
"Kuro?"
Lida turned her head anxiously, but there was no sign of the creature being 'dead' at all; it was clearly alive and kicking.
Kuro sighed, looked past the others and directly at Charlotte Linlin, and slowly said:
Can't you feel it?
As soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte Linlin suddenly opened her eyes, her body halting abruptly as she lunged forward, instinctively reaching for her neck, "No..."
laugh!
As soon as the sound began, a soft crack came from the neck, as if the adhesive had expired. Charlotte Lingling's huge head slipped off the neck and fell smoothly to the ground, rolling a few times.
Only then did Kuro continue, "The soft sound of the divine wind..."
“Lingling...you’ve lived too long. One day you’ll be dealt with by the new era, either by me or someone else. In that case, it wouldn’t be an insult to you if I killed you.”
As he spoke, Kuro gradually bared his teeth, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace: "So, you might as well just obediently die!"
To be precise, this move is a solo version of 'Mukuro-buster'.
The only addition was that he concentrated all his awakened domains on that one strike, unleashing the Yellow Dragon's profound meaning.
This is also Kuro's most powerful killing move to date, and it is estimated that there is nothing on the entire ocean that can surpass its destructive power.
This strike has brought Kuro's destructive power to its peak.
