"Let me try it, let me try it out."

Lida appeared behind, stepped onto the edge of the boat, and jumped into the air. As she jumped, her body returned to the shape of a young girl, with one hand clenched into a fist and tucked into her waist.

A familiar fluctuation made Sazir's eyes widen.

"Nail Fist Technique - Straight Down Nail!"

Her arms were covered in Armament Haki, and her power surged into her fist as she punched the giant sea king.

boom!!!

Beneath the sea king's grotesque face, a huge gash appeared in its throat from the punch. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the sea king collapsed onto the sea surface without even making a sound, its blood staining the water.

"Wow, it's really good!"

Lida leaped back onto the deck with a moon step, cracked her knuckles, and smiled with satisfaction. "Kuro, that's a very strong punch."

Sazir stared wide-eyed in shock at the jubilant Lida.

How could she use the nail-fist technique?!

And what's with this power?!

Can the 'Nail Fist' technique achieve this level of skill?!

The main characteristic of this boxing style is that it concentrates power into a single point, turning it into a sharp, nail-like point, and develops different moves through combinations of force.

But Lida is someone who can learn it immediately after seeing it just once.

Even without absorbing essence, her power is already considerable. Now that it's all concentrated in one point, coupled with the added power of her domineering aura, it's normal for her to defeat a sea king.

"This boxing style is alright. With practice, it'll also be good for developing Haki. Tell me the secrets later, and I'll try it out too," Kuro said to Lida.

"knew."

Lida took out a large banana, peeled it, took a bite, and nodded.

As for you...

Kuro reeled in his fishing rod, turned around, sat cross-legged facing Sazir, and exhaled a puff of smoke. "What should we do? With your age and talent, you'll make a name for yourself in a few years. But if we don't release you, you haven't done anything wrong yet, you've even taught me a set of martial arts techniques, and you share the same name as me. Killing you would be a bit of a dilemma."

“Mr. Kuro, I have a suggestion.”

At that moment, Kro pushed up his glasses, and a glint of light appeared on the lenses.

"Since he's also named Kuro, he can't be a pirate. If he can't be a civilian, then he should be a Marine."

"Navy? I don't want to be a navy! I'm a pirate, how could I be a navy!" Sazir struggled to his feet.

Kuro laughed, "There are precedents for pirates becoming marines. Aren't I a perfect example? Besides, you're just an apprentice who's only been a pirate for a few days. Don't worry, I'll train you into a great marine during this time, Kuro!"

He seemed somewhat excited when he said this.

I wouldn't dare fight the real Clow, but you fake Clow can be fought however you want!

Even a victory in spirit is a victory!
