Lowe rolled his eyes and fell to the ground with a 'thud', but in the instant he fell, he used his hands to push himself up, slowly lifting his body upwards.

"It's not over yet..."

"Um?"

Kuro turned his head, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "This will... it's terrifying, so tenacious."

The only ones who survived his attack without falling immediately were the monsters.

Although Lowe is quite strong, strictly speaking, he is only at the level of a Navy vice admiral.

Even 'Diamond' Joz fell down after taking a single blow from him. This man's will is not to be underestimated.

Lowe raised his head and looked at Kuro's surprised face, then looked past him to Lida, who was also looking surprised.

"How could I possibly fall here? I haven't personally destroyed that evil entity yet. Before I achieve my goal, I... will absolutely not fall!"

Bang!

Like a wild beast, Lowe swung his limbs on the ground and charged toward Kuro at incredible speed. He then bypassed Kuro and appeared behind Lida with lightning speed, grabbing her by the neck with one hand.

"This little girl is important to you, isn't she? Let me go, or she won't survive either!"

Lowe glared at Kuro with a ferocious expression, his fingers tightening their grip, digging into the skin of Lida's neck, and whispered to her, "I'm sorry, little girl, but I have no choice but to do this for my ambitions."

"Hey, I said..."

Kuro raised an eyebrow. "It would be dangerous to get close to her without Haki."

Lowe was stunned. The next moment, the hairs on his body stood on end. His intuition told him that this little girl was also dangerous!

He tried to pull his hand away, but it was too late. Instantly, a large amount of his physical strength was lost. Lida covered Lowe's chest with her hand and said coldly, "Energy Impact."

Bang!!!

The vital energy that had drained from his body concentrated into a single point and exploded in his chest, producing a thunderous thud that sent him flying far away, rolling to the ground.

With his injuries and exhaustion, coupled with another heavy blow, Lowe could no longer hold on and felt his consciousness slipping away.

"Really... do I look weak?"

Lida transformed into her teenage form, brushed her slightly wavy long hair behind her head, and said unhappily.

Lowe, lying on the ground, stared wide-eyed, struggling to point his finger at Lida, who had transformed from a girl into a young woman, his face filled with shock.

"Rita..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lowe's eyes rolled back, and he completely fainted.
