"Navy?"

The arrival of the falling navy surprised the merchant.

"How come there are marines here? Wasn't this place taken over by pirates?!"

"Boss, let's retreat! We've attacked the navy!" said one of his men.

“You’re right, hurry up and leave, don’t get entangled with them.” The merchant nodded and ordered his crew, “Shoot down these warships so they don’t follow.”

If they retreat so rashly, they will definitely be tracked by warships. They have an important mission and cannot afford to be entangled by the navy.

"Understood, boss. We won't let them catch up!"

The crews of several ships received orders to turn their cannons around and prepare for a volley of fire to leave more holes in the warships.

In this situation, there's no need to even sink it.

"What are you going to do to the warships?!"

Just then, an unidentifiable object appeared and roared, "You despicable criminals, I, Cass, will not let you succeed! Five times the amount!"

As soon as the object revealed its human form, it raised its hand and struck its chest, letting out a loud shout. A mysterious light shield spread out, enveloping the navy personnel who were following closely behind.

Then, their speed increased.

What the merchant could see was that the navy, which had been maintaining a normal speed, was now moving at a crazy, erratic pace, clearly defying common sense.

boom!

Just as a shell struck the hull of a warship, splashing water, the sailors boarded and turned their cannons to aim at their ships.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The horrified merchant's hair stood on end, and he screamed in alarm.

The orbs of light that had been enveloping the navy gradually spread to the warships. The warships, with their cannons turned around, sped away, surrounding the merchants before they could even react.

Without a boat, it's that fast.

"An ability user?!"

The merchant gritted his teeth and stared directly at the navy officer glaring at them from the port.

"Fire! Take him out, or we won't get out!"

The merchant was seething with resentment. Why did he have to fire that shot? Now, if he wanted to escape, he would have to pay the price.

Looking back now, it must have been an intelligence failure. Pegasus Island had already been recaptured by the Navy; this was a naval base.

But he wasn't afraid of just the base.

The weapons he carried came from the New World. With weapons alone, a mere base was no match for him.

It just requires paying a small price.

With the cannons turning in unison, the crew members on the ship picked up their weapons and sailed toward the port.

Boom boom boom!

Bang bang bang!

In that instant, cannonballs and bullets transformed into an iron curtain in the air, all rushing towards the town.

No one can dodge such a wide-ranging attack.

Cass couldn't dodge it. Without his companions by his side, he couldn't unleash his true power, and his so-called 'divine speed' was insufficient to avoid this wide-range attack.

Kro's body began to expand; without transforming, he couldn't withstand such a wide-range attack.

He had just boasted to Kuro that this level of coastal defense was sufficient, but now someone was challenging him. If he were to be proven wrong, he would lose face in front of Kuro.

Just as he was about to transform, his figure suddenly froze, and he looked behind him. His swollen body shrank again, returning to its normal size.

The sea began to churn.

A wall of sea rose from the harbor, spiraling upwards like a tsunami, easily blocking the bullets and shells. As the seawater covered them, the bullets and shells were all swallowed by the sea.

The merchant looked up at the figure that had appeared in the sky and swallowed hard.

"I've been here for half a month."

The figure in the sky slowly emitted a sound.

"They were banished from their homeland in the East China Sea once again."

"Now, you dare to invade my territory! You're courting death!"

For some reason, after coming out, Kuro inexplicably thought of this sentence and recited it out loud as if possessed.

Then, he got a bit of a headache.

There's always something going on everywhere.

With such frequent threats of a powerful military force, how could he feel at ease going to the Flower Country?

"but..."

Kuro, munching on a cigar, looked at the ship with its deep waterline and various weapons hidden inside, and said, "This has come to us like a gift. With such firepower, it might actually be useful."

He lowered his left hand, pressed down on the hilt of the knife, flicked his thumb to reveal a section of the scabbard, gripped it with his right hand, and swung it forward.

"Collapse!"

The murderous aura materialized, pressing down on the ships that had already entered the port.

Click.

The blade is sheathed.

In that instant, everyone on the merchant ship rolled their eyes and fainted.

"As expected of Colonel Kuro!"

Below, Cass looked at Kuro with admiration and said, "Always so powerful! Joining headquarters was definitely the right choice. Colonel Kuro is no longer bound by the curse!"

I won't be cursed even if I don't go to headquarters!

Kuro glared at the culprit. How could he have been so blind back then? Couldn't he have waited and gone to another place to join the Navy?

I insisted on joining the 153rd branch, and then I encountered this thing.

That being said...

Kuro glanced at Cass, then looked at the navy personnel on the warship who remained calm.

Although the 'collapse' aura did not reach them, it still had some impact. Some townspeople were already trembling with fear. Ordinary naval personnel could not withstand its killing intent.
