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...
"Devil's Kick - Fried Assorted Platter!"
"Storm Kick - Wind Claw!"
In the battlefield, Kuro's enormous werewolf blocked Sanji's path, its claws moving swiftly like stars, unleashing bursts of pale blue slashes as it rapidly struck the man in black suits below.
The latter was equally formidable, striking out with one leg, leaving a fiery afterimage as it rapidly kicked at the claws, occasionally leaping up to switch legs and parry the claws' attacks.
Ta-da!
Although it was a physical collision, it produced a crisp sound like the clash of swords.
"roar!"
Kro opened his mouth and roared out a shockwave carrying countless wind blades.
"Neck Flesh Crushing Strike!"
Sanji slammed one foot into the ground, raised the other leg high, and slammed the foot wrapped in crimson flames onto the shockwave. The shockwave and crimson flames exploded and scattered, forming sparks.
"Walking in the air!"
Sanji was blown away by the impact, but in that instant, he stepped on the air and ran quickly toward the execution platform.
"Luffy!!"
"snort!"
Just as he was about to run over, a huge figure appeared behind him.
"Moonwalk it is... You're just a pirate, do you think you're more skilled at it than I am, a Marine!"
Bang!
The claws fell, striking Sanji squarely in the back. The immense force caused him to groan and crash to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"whispering sound..."
Kro, bouncing in the air, stretched out his claws, looking at his sharp nails that weren't stained with blood, and said in a low voice, "The Vinsmoke technique has reached its zenith in you. None of your brothers are as tough as you."
Despite it being the most direct attack, Kuro couldn't draw blood from Sanji. Without blood, his ability would be difficult to activate.
"But anyway..."
Kuro's body fell like a cannonball, blocking the path of smoke leading to the execution platform, and he growled, "It's over, Straw Hat Crew!"
brush!
On the other side, Zoro swung his sword three times, creating a streak of light, but the person in front of him flashed even faster, disappearing almost as soon as he swung his sword.
"Wow, using knives and stuff is dangerous. You're only in your twenties, right? Don't be so violent. Isn't it much more fun to drink and have fun?"
Moore appeared on the other side and laughed, "Uncle, I still really enjoy drinking and having fun."
Zoro glanced at the execution platform, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Get out of the way."
"That won't work."
Moore smiled and said, "Such a grand scene is rarely seen. It's much more impressive than cutting down Kaido or the Straw Hat Pirates back then, isn't it? Uncle me..."
His smile vanished, and his voice deepened: "I'd like to see that too."
These words made Zoro's pupils shrink, and he lowered his body slightly. "Is that so...?"
He struck a pose like a wild beast pouncing on its prey, his hands gripping the twin swords swung forward, his eyes sharpening.
"Originally, I was holding back because I wanted to deal with Mihawk, but now I can't..."
The three knives, starting from the very tip, were stained black.
Not domineering...
The black color spread across the blade, gradually moving towards the very tip, transforming into three jet-black blades.
Black Knife!
It is a hard blade that is eventually formed through continuous nurturing with domineering energy.
"No one can stop Luffy from becoming the Pirate King!" Zoro said in a deep voice.
"It's turned black, that's impressive, but..." Moore laughed, "What's the use if it can't cut me?"
"Three-Sword Style - Dazzling Light - Great Tornado!"
Without wasting words with Moore, Sauron spun around and unleashed a massive tornado-like slash that completely engulfed Moore.
Moore looked surprised, then his body disappeared in a flash of white light, reappearing in the distance to avoid the tornado. This move was different from ordinary tornadoes; it seemed to have some light on it, and it looked quite beautiful.
Soon, the tornado disappeared, and Zoro rushed out, his three swords crossed, his aura rising and forming a three-headed, six-armed shape behind him.
"Demon Aura - Nine-Sword Style - Asura - Sword Draw - Game of the Dead!!"
As the three heads and six arms took shape, Zoro's speed suddenly increased, and he rushed in front of Moore, his eyes almost glowing red, ready to strike with his sword.
Moore's expression changed drastically as he allowed Zoro's knife to be pressed against him. "How could this be..."
"Hmph, you noticed!"
Zoro sneered: "Your teleportation relies on those strange points of light. If I blow those points of light away, you won't be able to dodge them!"
"oh..."
brush!
The white light flashed again.
Zoro's slash missed its mark, striking only the air and creating several streaks that were dispersed by the wind.
Snap...
Behind him, Moore gently patted Sauron on the shoulder and smiled, "Your head seems a little off."
"you..."
Just as Zoro was about to turn his head, Moore's hand, which had been patting his shoulder, suddenly turned into a fist and punched Zoro across the head with a loud bang. Zoro was sent flying by the punch.
"First of all, even if the beacon is blown away, it still exists. If I want to teleport, there's no problem at all."
Moore smiled and said, "Secondly..."
He shuddered, and a large number of light spots scattered from his body.
"Uncle is someone who's afraid of pain and trouble, so of course I'm constantly scattering beacons. Your attacks still can't catch me."
Dealing with Moore is going to be very difficult.
Although his movement speed is not as fast as the old man's or Kuro's, in terms of overall teleportation ability, he is number one in terms of speed.
As long as he can teleport, no one can hit him. His mastery of Haki and physical skills are no less than Lida's. Although he is usually too lazy and Kuro doesn't bother with him, he seems unassuming. But if you underestimate him because of this, you will suffer a great loss.
To defeat someone, you might have to consider their strength, but when it comes to holding someone back, Moore is better suited than anyone else.
"Zeus!!"
Dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky and moved swiftly toward the execution platform.
Down below, Rita and Jinbe are fighting.
"Gunwave!"
Jinbe gathered water directly from the already seeping ground and unleashed a water shockwave, aiming not at Rita, but at the execution platform over there.
"Don't bother me!"
Lida used Moonwalk to leap into the air, gathering white light in both fists. One fist struck the gun wave, while the other punch hit the thundercloud above.
Boom!!
The ground shook violently as the water column and dark clouds dispersed.
"That woman over there is annoying too, but Doraemon..."
Lida leaped with Moonwalk and shouted at Jinbe, "You won't be able to get in Kuro's way either."
On the execution platform, Kuro, having finished speaking and raised his sword, looked down at Luffy beneath his feet, and the sword slid down...
