"This is..."

Roberts looked up at the sky, and for the first time, his calm expression, which had always maintained that of a 'strongman,' crumbled.

What does that even mean?!

Why does the ocean fall from the sky?

White Sea?

But that's the seawater of Qinghai, not the clouds and water of Baihai!

Splash!

Large raindrops fell, seemingly aimed directly at Roberts, landing only within his range. While he remained in a chaotic state, the rainwater entered his body and was 'stored'.

Boom!!!

The large raindrops merged into a column, falling from the sky and enveloping Roberts.

The roof of the auction house was easily blasted open, and seawater poured out from the water column, carrying powerful water pressure, instantly turning the auction house into ruins.

The figure in the middle was unable to move under the pressure of the seawater and could only store seawater by its own ability.

If it is not stored, his ability will instantly become ineffective.

only...

"I already said, Chambord isn't very big."

Kuro pressed his five fingers down, and the impact speed of the water column increased significantly, smashing a large crater into the ground where Roberts was standing.

Kuro knew his water column was being absorbed, but the absorption rate couldn't keep up with his descent speed. Most importantly, his physical skills were too weak; even if he wanted to escape, his speed couldn't match the movement speed of the water column.

The water column is moving, which means Roberts is moving, but the speed of that movement...

Kuro stretched out his hand, and the water column noticeably expanded, moving with Roberts in the center, making it impossible for him to escape.

"No, it'll fill up, it'll fill up!"

He was absorbing the water from the column, but Roberts gradually realized that the storage space problem, which he had never worried about before, was finally becoming a major issue.

He could feel that it was almost full under the impact of the powerful water column.

That's an area comparable to the Sabaody Archipelago. In the past, unless I accidentally fell into the sea, it would never have been full, and I've never fallen in!

But now... what's the difference between this and accidentally falling into the sea?

"Lucir Kuro! Stop! Stop now! I'll swell up and die!" he yelled.

However, since the sound is inside the water, it's not so easy to project it through a water column.

Moreover, Kuro wouldn't listen.

"Did you hear me, Lucilfer Kuro! Untie me now!" His voice began to fill with panic.

"Lucil Kuro!!!" Roberts' eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, his voice shrill, and he covered his cheeks with his hands, feeling completely horrified, like a world-famous painting.

Suddenly, he spat out a stream of water bubbles, and then water droplets began to overflow from his body. More and more droplets appeared, eventually mingling with the water droplets that enveloped him, completely covering Roberts.

*Smack*

Kuro clenched his fist, severing the towering water column and forming a transparent water mass that enveloped Roberts.

"Oh dear, it seems the storage is full. You're just an ordinary physical body now."

Inside the water mass, Roberts, pale-faced, struggled helplessly.

Some people with special abilities are not afraid of seawater.

At least Kuro isn't afraid, or rather, people like them have ways to avoid it.

But there are limits to all of this.

Kuro's weakness is that he falls into the sea due to lack of stamina, but Roberts has far too many weaknesses in his eyes.

Seastone has the simplest limitations.

In addition, domineering attacks are also possible. Although he can absorb force, he cannot absorb the manifestation of a person's will. There may be no scars, but there will definitely be pain.

Natural systems completely counter this type.

Besides that, there's Kuro, the most primitive method.

Although being domineering is simpler, but...

"You give me a peach and I give you a plum; you gave me so many weapons, so I'll give you some seawater for self-defense, but... it seems you can't handle it."

Kuro gripped Shusui, swung his sword horizontally, and a gust of wind rose up, surging within the water.

"Lion bites."

Sizzle!

The water sphere enveloping Roberts transformed into sharp blades, continuously slicing around him. Instantly, Roberts' body burst into a blood mist, which obscured the water sphere. Then, with a 'snap,' the water sphere shattered, and Roberts vanished completely, leaving only blood splattered on the ground.

Splash!

Rain began to fall again. Kuro slowly sheathed his sword. With a 'click', the corpses lying on the ground were cut open by the rain and shredded by the raindrops, turning into blood that flowed on the ground.

The blood was diluted again by the torrential rain and eventually flowed into the sewer along with the rainwater.

"Done."

Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced at the clean ground, reached out and wiped away the rain. The overwhelming seawater rose into the sky and gradually disappeared, restoring a clear sky.

“Look how clean this land is, there’s nothing here,” Kuro remarked.

"Major Admiral Kuro!"

The rain had just stopped when Wilbur arrived with his men, followed by a group of marines. Wilbur, panting, said, "Admiral Kuro, reinforcements are here!"

At the same time, a tall navy officer stepped forward, saluted Kuro, and said solemnly, "Hello, Rear Admiral Kuro, I am Masi, who is temporarily in charge of the Sabaody Archipelago. My rank is colonel. I heard you were coming, so I quickly led my team over!"

As he spoke, Masi glanced around and hesitated, "Major Admiral, I don't seem to see any pirates?"

"It never existed in the first place."

Kuro denied it outright, "When I came here, I didn't see any pirates, it just looked like this."

“But I just heard a roar...and this crater in the ground?” Masi paused for a moment, then said.

"Oh, maybe they retreated after the battle. I don't know either, that's all I know for sure," Kuro casually replied.

“Um, they’re not…” Finney started to speak at this moment.

"Go get your medicine!" Kuro glared at her immediately.

"Ugh, how scary, General Kuro..." Fanny shuddered, clutching her head and taking a few steps back.

"Major Admiral Kuro, this auction house..."

Colonel Massey only then noticed the auction house, now a ruin, his hand trembling as he pointed. "This was... something the Celestial Dragons themselves ordered to be built, and now it's destroyed..."

"Huh? What Celestial Dragon personally ordered the construction? I don't know anything about that, it's not like I did it."

Kuro vehemently denied it, saying, "Go find whoever you want, go find those pirates."

"But we're stationed there, and we can't even protect this..."

The thought of the Celestial Dragons' anger sent shivers down Maxi's spine.

Kuro raised an eyebrow. "Now I understand why Sabaody Archipelago has deteriorated to this extent after just one year."

He walked over, patted the tall navy man on the shoulder, and said, "Young man, don't rush things. Those idiots won't care about this. It's alright."
