Seeing Hawkins's increasingly flustered expression, Kuro revealed a malicious smile.

Give it a try...

Kuro slightly pulled the [Hana-shu] out of its shell, revealing a section of the blade.

"It is indeed a 'tower'..."

Before Hawkins could finish speaking, Kuro quickly retracted [Hana-shu].

"No, it's upside down..."

Kuro drew his blade again.

"tower..."

Take it back again.

"Upside down..."

Pull it out.

"tower..."

Take it back.

"fall..."

pull.

"tower..."

receive.

"Pfft!"

Hawkins spat out a mouthful of blood, his already pale face turned even paler, and he swayed precariously.

The excessive and chaotic divination was overwhelming for his mind.

"captain!"

The pirates all shouted in unison.

Kuro bared his teeth, his expression full of malice.

This guy is funny.

"My divination was wrong; it seems I have no choice but to run away."

Hawkins wiped the blood from his mouth, preparing to move.

"Well, that won't do."

A glint flashed in Kizaru's sunglasses. "I can't let the pirates get away like this. Speaking of which, speed is power. Have you... ever been kicked by light?"

Bang!

In an instant, Kizaru's foot appeared where Hawkins was, and Hawkins himself was sent flying by the kick, crashing through the wall of a building. The flying debris kicked up a cloud of dust that obscured everyone's view.

Kuro, sipping his cigar, looked towards the ruins, where the life force remained undiminished.

Yes, the "no harm from smoke" principle applies.

Kizaru chuckled and extended his finger, emitting a laser beam.

call out!

boom!!

The sound of another explosion spread, and the dust and smoke intensified.

"That's strange."

Kizaru opened one of his eyes, which had been squinting from laughing, and showed a surprised expression.

A figure slowly emerged from the smoke.

"As expected of a great general, just two strikes were enough to seriously injure me twice."

Hawkins stretched out his hand, and two slits appeared in his arm. Two tiny scarecrows emerged from the slits and landed on the ground.

"Ten of them would make me quite nervous about dealing with a general..."

Kizaru scratched his head: "That's terrifying, he's not even hurt. Young people these days are really strong. Kuro, you come on."

"ha?"

Kuro, who had been watching the show intently, was startled by Kizaru's words and pointed at himself, saying:

"You're not wrong, old man. I have no experience dealing with criminals with a net worth of over 100 million. You should handle such a terrifying pirate."

He has indeed never dealt with pirates worth hundreds of millions.

Let's not count the old man with the rudder on his head who's now at the bottom of the sea keeping company with fish; he disappeared for twenty years, so let's just consider him retired.

Anyway, the person is gone.

“That’s exactly why you need to train, Kuro,” Kizaru said.

Kuro shook his head vigorously, then coughed a few times, clutching his chest. "I don't know what happened. I guess I got altitude sickness in Mary Geoise. I'm having trouble breathing now and can't do anything."

"You, you..." Kizaru said helplessly.

Just then, a shadow fell over them.

With a sob, a tall figure fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, landing in front of Hawkins.

The man was tall and muscular, with two small wings on his back. Along with him, a thick hexagonal iron pillar also descended.

“That’s… ‘The Eccentric Monk’ Urouge.”

The pirates under Hawkins' command, who were already hiding in the corner, recognized the newcomer.

"Not only that..."

The woman with the long braid raised her head and looked up at the sky.

Another enormous figure descended from the sky.

"Bartholomew Kuma! The Seven Warlords of the Sea are here too?!" the long-braided man exclaimed in shock.

Urouge lay on the ground, blood trickling from his forehead, panting heavily. "I failed. He's really strong, a Shichibukai."

“There are even more powerful ones than him.”

Hawkins pointed at Kizaru and addressed Urouge below.

Urouge followed Hawkins' finger and was shocked. "Kizaru?! This is really... First a Marine Admiral, then a Shichibukai. Is his time coming to an end?"

Hawkins remained silent. He could tell that Urki's death was not imminent, but he dared not speak out.

For some reason, whenever he spoke, the divination would change, even causing him to vomit blood.

Today is not a good day for divination!

That is...

Kuro looked at Bartholomew Kuma. He had never seen this Shichibukai before, but judging from his aura, he was just a robot.

"A pacifist, huh? I wonder which number he is," Kuro thought to himself, narrowing his eyes.

However, with this thing around, he wouldn't need to take action.

Especially if you don't make a move in front of the old man, even though he usually spoils him, he'll still dig a pit for you from time to time.

When it's time to promote someone, don't hesitate to do so.

The pacifist raised his fist and slammed it down on Urki.

Suddenly, a figure appeared with lightning speed, launching a series of attacks at the pacifist before kicking him away.

The man held a four-bladed axe in his right hand and a longsword in his left. He had an 'X' mark on his chin and chest.

'Fallen Major General', X. Drake.

“Major Admiral Drake,” Kizaru exclaimed in surprise.

Drake turned around abruptly, surprised, and exclaimed, "Kizaru?!"
