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...
At this moment, in the Kingdom of Tada, Kuro raised an eyebrow.
Although I don't know why the old man is so easy to talk to, it's a good thing, he doesn't have to be so restrained anymore.
"Hello."
Kuro walked over to Nero and kicked him, releasing a murderous aura that startled Nero and made him clear his head.
“I have something to ask you. Do you know who that Lisala and Rice are?” Kuro asked.
Gugas's words bothered him.
"Lisala... Lisala..."
Upon hearing this, Nello, who had just regained some of his senses, went berserk again, trembling all over and babbling incoherently, "It's not my fault, Lisala, I didn't want to burn you, it wasn't me!"
Well, he's gone mad again.
"Lida, Crowe, you two get on the ship too. And bring this old man on board."
Kuro pointed at Nilo.
Kro adjusted his glasses, grabbed the old man, this madman who only knew how to shout about atonement and didn't know how to resist. He was easily brought onto the ship.
Kuro faced the town, looked at the giant buildings, clicked his tongue, and slapped his hand on the ground.
Q: If I arrive at a dangerous island, how can I stay safe?
A: Flip the island overboard and sink it!
"Shishi Wei·Gosho Scroll!"
The seawater surged forth, as if under immense pressure, relentlessly pushing against the town.
Rumble...
The town began to crack, the exquisite and tall buildings collapsed and shattered into pieces, the earth cracked and wide fissures appeared, and the entire town rose little by little amidst the enormous roar.
When an island is removed from the sea, seawater will naturally flow back in.
"Hold the helm tight! Don't let the waves capsize you!"
Kro almost lost his balance, but immediately began giving instructions.
The turbulence of the seawater is not something a warship can easily withstand.
Just as he finished speaking, Kuro waved his Autumn Water towards the warship, and the warship took off and landed on the distant sea, escaping the whirlpool.
The warship landed on the calm sea outside the whirlpool, stirring up a wave. Kro turned his head and looked at a town that had detached itself from the water and was now floating on the surface. He couldn't help but sigh:
"No matter when you watch it, it's still breathtaking."
In the hands of certain individuals, the power of Devil Fruits can sometimes be transformed into immense strength, enabling miracles.
Kuro clenched his fist, and the buildings in the town completely collapsed at that moment. The land and building fragments merged and curled together, forming a solid lion's head that enveloped the fire monsters that had been blasted to pieces by weapons.
"I'll seal you up and sink you into the sea, let's see who else you can take revenge on."
Kuro pressed down with his palm, and the solid sphere suddenly fell, crashing into the sea and sinking completely.
He didn't have time to delve into finding the culprit, find out the reason, and then kill off this mess.
The current situation is easy to guess: people like Nilo burned a woman named Lisala to death, and a man named Rice wanted revenge, which led to the current situation.
If this curse started five years ago or even earlier, then that person may have been in this kingdom for even longer. The fact that they went undetected for so long shows that they were very good at hiding their true intentions.
He's at least quite intelligent; he'd be crazy to even venture into the inner sanctum of a kingdom when faced with someone like that.
Just by using Observation Haki to detect it, there were several dangerous auras similar to Gugas within that area.
If he could find different living beings, he could go and take a look, and carry out a decapitation tactic. The key is that the person behind the scenes is too well hidden, and those crazy auras completely cover the person.
It would take forever to find that.
He already has the necessary intelligence; now it's just a matter of making a judgment.
What kind of judgment is it to describe a kingdom that is full of dead people and only maintains a normal living scene through its abilities?
Choose between the Buster Call and sinking into the sea.
Sinking him into the sea would at least allow for a specific time to be chosen, but the Buster Call doesn't have a time limit; it can explode whenever it's scheduled. They're already pitiful enough, and Kuro doesn't want them to be deprived of even that peace during the day.
"Next..."
Kuro looked at the town, which revealed the entire territory of the Kingdom of Tada behind it because the gate had been lost, and was about to clench his fist when he suddenly laughed: "So I appeared myself!"
According to his Observation Haki, there was an aura different from that of madness, appearing at the top of a huge palace behind the town.
Kuro rose up and flew over. As he got closer, he saw a person wearing a black robe with his face covered by a hood standing at the top. The person looked up at Kuro in the sky.
"Navy, why are you meddling in other people's business?" His voice was soft and rational, without a trace of madness.
"It's you, isn't it, that bastard named Rice?" Kuro gritted his teeth and said, "You've really stirred up a lot of trouble. You're even capable of destroying a country."
"The country..."
Rice's hand emerged from the black robe, looking so sickly pale, as if it hadn't seen the sunlight in a long time.
"What is a nation? Navy, do you have a nation?"
Kuro is, of course, a country. Although Shells Town has a naval base, it was obtained from the kingdom to which it belongs, and the legal authority still rests with the kingdom.
"Judging from your appearance, you also belong to a country. But if you have a country, why don't you stay there? Is it because you lack a sense of identity? If you choose to go to sea and join the navy because you lack a sense of identity with your country, then why shouldn't I, who have been abandoned by my country, have a reason to take revenge on it?"
