Johannes broke out in a cold sweat.

Unlike other pirates who only saw the victory of the Marineford War in the newspapers, he watched the live broadcast with the Alliance Leader. Among the famous pirates and the Navy, besides Monkey D. Luffy, there was another man in the Navy who stood out and attracted attention.

Lucilius Kuro.

The man who obtained everything from the legendary pirate 'Golden Lion'!

"Hey, are you kidding me? Why would a man like you come to this island?! Wait a minute, the naval captain stationed here... you're the captain?!"

Johannes' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Are the Navy blind, or does the World Government simply have an abundance of talent?

This man is only a colonel?!

"A law-abiding citizen? Do you have a license?"

Kuro looked over.

"Certificate? What certificate?"

"No? That's okay, I'll send you one. From now on, you'll be a law-abiding citizen."

"real?"

Johannes was secretly pleased. Could it be that this man was a fool who believed him so easily?

It seems even the strong aren't without flaws.

Just then, a black light flashed across the sky.

boom!

The black gun pierced through the body of this so-called law-abiding citizen, and the powerful momentum propelled him into the tavern. With just one shot, it blasted a large hole in half of the tavern.

"Use your death to obtain this certificate. Dead pirates are the good citizens, you idiot."

Kuro said something casually, and then continued:

“Come back, Chloe, I can’t guarantee you won’t be affected.”

Lida had already jumped to his side, while only Kro remained in his beast form, lost in ecstasy.

In the past, he would have had no chance of killing these pirates, but now, given time, he could wipe them all out with his strength, only expending a little energy.

At this moment, who dares to stop the great Lord Kuro from slaughtering pirates!

boom!

A long sword landed beside him, piercing a pirate from above and smashing a small crater in the ground.

This startled Kuro. He glanced at the pirate's miserable state, his body returned to human form, he adjusted his glasses, and obediently said, "Yes, Mr. Kuro."

He used Moonwalk, stepping on the air, and jumped to the other side of Kuro, standing obediently behind him.

"...Lord Johannes?"

A group of pirates looked into the hole and saw that inside the tavern, the black gun had pierced through the other side of the tavern, half of its volume protruding. Johannes, on whom they had placed their hopes, was pinned by the black gun, his body still twitching.

"Lord Johannes has failed!"

"Run! The navy on the other side are monsters!"

The pirates screamed and fled in terror.

"Don't go..."

Kuro looked down at them from the rooftop and said coldly, "I'll give you good citizen certificates too!"

He raised his index finger, which was wrapped around his arms, slightly, and then lowered it again.

Boom boom boom!

The weapons in the sky suddenly slammed down towards the ground.

The black guns were fierce; a casual strike would create a large crater in the ground. The swords were sharp; a single blow could decapitate a pirate.

There's no need to use island rocks or anything like that. After all, this is the town he'll be stationed in later, so he doesn't need anything that powerful. Swords and spears will suffice.

This kind of area-of-effect (AOE) damage is enough to make these pirates 'get married'.

The aerial bombardment lasted for almost a minute before stopping.

The town square was riddled with potholes, with numerous weapons and guns embedded in the ground, creating craters. Beside these craters lay either corpses or pools of blood.

That was because he was hit by a heavy weapon, which made it impossible for the body to maintain its shape.

"No matter when I watch it, I'm always amazed," Chloe exclaimed, regaining her composure.

Only someone with immense physical strength like Mr. Kuro could abuse his power so drastically so soon after obtaining the Devil Fruit. The only difference between him and the second stage is his physical strength.

"ah!!!"

"Hey, don't move!"

Suddenly, a scream came from inside the building, and then a pirate carrying a civilian, holding a knife to his neck, walked out step by step.

"Let me leave, or I'll kill this man. He's a civilian. As a marine, you should care about civilian casualties, right?"

The pirate said confidently.

The navy, well, most of them are guys who care about civilians. This guy may be as strong as a monster, but he probably thinks the same way.

"idiot."

Lida slowly exited from the rooftop.

"What did you say!"

laugh!

Just as the pirate was about to get angry, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He looked down in disbelief and saw a burr piercing his chest, appearing before his eyes with blood.

"ah..."

The pirate opened his mouth, his weapon slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a clatter, and he fell silent.

"Ha ha..."

The civilian, a woman, sensed the terrifying pirate behind her lose his strength. She quickly broke free, picked up a weapon from the ground, and slashed at the pirate behind her.

She seemed oblivious to the fact that the pirate was dead, continuing to slash and hack until the pirate's head was a bloody mess, yet she still didn't stop.

"Hey, he's already dead, you're safe now, there's no need to keep cutting him."
