Kuro closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, and remained silent.

Why didn't you run?

It was Cass who spoke.

“It’s not that I haven’t tried to run away, but as soon as I get close to the edge of the island, Florida will appear and bring me back.”

Mendel clutched his hair, his face contorted in anguish: "No matter what we do, we can't escape."

They couldn't go out either. As for food, they had to wait for passing merchant ships. Even if the merchants offered high prices, they had to hold their noses and buy it, and then wait for that demon to come to their door every two weeks.

"My lords, you are good people, and I will not harm you. Let's leave quickly. Florida is a devil, and she will soon find out that there are people here."

"Cass, assemble the navy and prepare for battle."

Kuro suddenly opened his eyes and gave instructions to Cass.

"yes!"

Cass accepted the order and went out to summon the navy.

"you..."

Mendel's eyes filled with tears. "You should leave quickly. You are no match for that demon."

Kuro scratched his head. "There's no way, it's too late."

According to my Observation Haki, a life form is rapidly approaching this area.

Kuro is certainly domineering.

Twenty-odd years of training haven't been in vain. Although it's just a cheat code, Kuro has honed it to a level even more powerful than the original. He's really taken it to a whole new level.

Safety first.

To achieve this goal, Kuro secretly trained relentlessly.

Naturally, an aura of dominance was brought out.

His Observation Haki is so powerful that its range can cover the entire island!

"If what the mayor said is true, that Florida should also have Observation Haki. Judging from her distance, her skill is no less than mine," Kuro thought to himself.

This is the East Sea, a place where the level of domineering power is unheard of. Suddenly, a master of domineering power with such profound skill has appeared. Such a person is truly not someone that the people of the East Sea can deal with.

"But he's not famous yet, and I don't know what he's thinking. If he stays in the East China Sea, he'll be a menace sooner or later. If we get rid of him before he becomes famous, there won't be any problems."

Kuro made up his mind; he wanted an ordinary, weak East Blue, not some ambitious, powerful figure lurking there.

If you're strong, go to the Grand Line!

Go and unleash your ambition!

What can you possibly do in such a weak place? Really.

Outside, Cass and the Navy waited with bated breath.

The town is surrounded by deep jungle; although it is daytime, the depths are still shrouded in darkness, as if they could swallow a person whole.

rustle...

The jungle rustled.

Cass's gaze sharpened as he looked at a rooftop.

A white figure appeared there, gleaming in the sunlight.

With a slender build and covered in white fur, it resembled an upright werewolf, looking down at the ground below.

"Flo...it's Florida!"

The townspeople screamed in despair.

"shooting!"

Cass stretched out his hand and shouted.

Bang bang bang!

The lead bullets were fired into the sky, and in the next instant, the white-haired monster vanished and quickly reappeared in front of the navy.

Bang.

The white-haired monster reached out and struck a marine with a heavy blow. The marine was sent flying backward, his body appearing pale and weak as if he had exhausted all his strength, collapsing to the ground.

"you..."

The white-haired monster's deep voice rang out: "You actually summoned the Navy! Unforgivable! You must be punished!"

It swept past the navy with incredible speed, its hand merely touching them, and the navy men collapsed powerlessly, just like the ones before them.

In an instant, dozens of naval personnel were rendered combat ineffective.

Cass's hand holding the gun trembled. This monster was too strong, so strong that he couldn't even muster the will to fight it.

At that moment, the door to the mayor's house opened, and Kuro came out carrying a military knife.

"Kurocho has grown up!"

The navy immediately became excited: "With Sergeant Major's leadership, we will definitely win!"

"We can't let Sergeant Sergeant down!"

The terrified marines, upon seeing Kuro emerge, seemed to be injected with adrenaline, gritting their teeth as they charged towards the white-haired monster.

"What use is a minor sergeant in a branch?"

The white-haired monster stretched out its hand, vanished, and quickly reappeared behind the Navy.

There was no sound, and the sailors collapsed to the ground.

Kuro saw this and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You... monster!"

Cass roared and fired his gun.

Bang!

The bullet didn't even graz the white-haired monster before it struck its abdomen in an instant, causing it to collapse to the ground.

"The navy... the navy is gone too!"

Mayor Mendel nearly ground his teeth to powder. He grabbed a pair of scissors, trembling, and charged out, roaring at the white-haired monster, "You monster, all you want is for us to die! Let me tell you, even if we die, we will never submit to you again!"

Hearing the old town mayor's shout, the desperate villagers gathered together, glaring angrily at the white-haired monster.

Even if they die, they will die standing!

The white-haired monster froze for a moment, then its voice grew even deeper, "Then I'll grant your wish!"

Whoosh!

The navy was no match for them, and the unarmed townspeople were no match for them either. Soon, under the high-speed rotation of the white-haired monster, the townspeople fell one after another.

Of all the people on the ground, only it and Kuro remained standing.

"You're the only one left."

It pointed at Kuro and chuckled in a low voice, "Speaking of which, I've seen people like you before, a red-nosed pirate who is clearly not strong but puts on airs. You're all alone now, how are you going to manage?"
