The Great Pirate Era.
The great seas surge and churn, powerhouses destroy and annihilate, each fighting their own battles. It's utterly—
Demotivating!
I, Russil Kuro, age tw...
That unrestrained killing intent was aimed entirely at Kuro.
Thump!
He stomped his foot hard, creating a hole in the deck, and charged toward Kuro like a shooting star.
He seemed completely indifferent to the ship's condition.
when! ! !
The fist, brimming with the aura of inky black clouds, collided with Kuro's Shusui blade, which was crackling with golden lightning, in that instant.
Karaara!
The deck where the two were standing was instantly blown apart, shattering in all directions under the shockwave, revealing a large gap.
Kuro's body rose with the shockwave, while Wald fell down.
"Momo - 100x Shotgun!"
Wald's explosive roar soon echoed from the hole, and a large amount of wood chips and stones, magnified a hundredfold and imbued with domineering power, shot upwards at extremely high speed.
Ta-da!
Kuro gripped the knife in one hand, creating afterimages as he swung it in front of him, sparking bursts of fire as he parried the incoming pieces of wood and stone.
"Lion bites!"
After parrying, Kuro swung his sword, distorting the air in the hole and turning it into a wind blade capable of tearing everything apart.
"Great Slashing Blade!"
A gigantic naginata was pushed out of the hole. Despite its massive size, the blade exuded an overwhelming aura. Wald leaped out of the hole, pushing the naginata with him. Wind blades left white marks on his body and shattered the wooden hilt of the naginata. However, the blade itself hurtled towards Kuro.
Kuro dodged the direct attack of the blade by sidestepping it, and as if sensing something, he slashed to the side with his own sword.
when! !
Wald appeared to his side, his hand gripping the blade directly. The highest level of Haki sliced open his palm, drawing blood.
"Um!!!"
Wald's pupils shrank to almost a dot. He let out a muffled shout, gripped the blade, and pulled it forcefully in his direction. His other fist, accompanied by a whirlwind of jet-black armor, slammed straight into Kuro's face.
"Vermilion Bird!"
"Bah!!!"
The king of birds sings.
Kuro was enveloped in flames formed from the slashes, creating a giant phoenix. Wald slammed in with a high-speed punch, shattering the phoenix's head.
The phoenix swept towards Wald, and at that moment, Qiushui broke free from Wald's tight grip and lunged backward.
Thump!
Wald swung his feet in the air, without even turning around, and rushed straight towards the phoenix behind him. At a speed a hundred times faster, his speed was almost instantaneous. Only when he reached the phoenix did he turn around. At this time, his fists were already raised, both equipped with the highest level of weaponry.
"Momo - Hundred Consecutive Shots!!"
Bang bang bang bang! ! !
His fists were so fast it was as if a hundred hands were punching at the same time, smashing the phoenix, which hadn't even had time to recover its shape, to pieces. Under this dense and high-speed attack, the phoenix's body couldn't withstand it at all and collapsed, revealing Kuro inside.
At that moment, Kuro bypassed Wald's barrage of punches and fell towards him from the side as if drunk, slashing down with his sword like lightning.
Wald's pupils contracted. Without dodging or avoiding, he gathered his fist and transformed it into an elbow strike, which he then hurled at Kuro.
"Drunkenly carrying a gourd!"
laugh!
The blade, crackling with golden electricity, sliced through Wald's waist and ribs in one strike.
Bang!
At the same time, he was also hit in the shoulder by the elbow, and fell down, crashing through the deck of the ship and landing in a place with walls full of spikes.
Thump!
Wald quickly descended, landing directly on a wall. He pulled a switch, causing the walls to rotate and spikes to shoot wildly in all directions.
"Momo!"
Wald pressed his hand against the wall and shouted, "Hundredfold Thrust!"
The spinning spikes accelerated wildly at that moment, heading straight for Kuro, who had landed in the center.
"Black Tortoise!"
Kuro directly sliced through the blade, enveloping himself in a phantom image of a black tortoise. With the tortoise shell providing cover, the spikes struck the tortoise, producing a crisp clanging sound.
"You brat!!!"
Suddenly, Wald's loud shout rang out from the side.
He charged directly into the range of the spikes, defiantly withstanding their barrage, letting them shoot at his body. The high-speed spikes, under the relentless attack, broke through his powerful defense, turning his back into a pincushion in an instant.
Even so, he still raised his fist, gathering his domineering aura into it, and stared intently at Kuro.
"Are you fucking crazy!" Kuro roared.
"I told you I was going to kill you!!"
With a roar, Wald slammed his fist, imbued with a powerful aura of superior dominance, down with a mighty punch.
Click!
The tortoise shell shattered, and the powerful impact forced Kuro to take a step back, but the snake eyes also made Vald freeze for a moment.
"You old bastard!"
Kuro gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and a gust of wind swept away the high-speed spikes. Then, he gripped the Autumn Water with both hands and slid straight toward the attacking Vald.
"Huanglong!!!"
Pfft!!!
The blade flashed past Wald's waist and abdomen as Kuro circled around behind him.
At the same time, Wald struck Kuro on the back of the head with an elbow, the immense force sending his entire body flying forward and crashing into the steel wall, creating a human-shaped sculpt.
Kuro turned to face Wald, the pain in the back of his head making him grimace.
The person in front had a huge gash in his waist and abdomen, from which blood was gushing out.
In addition, the side of his waist that had been slashed earlier, and the chest that was first slashed, were now bleeding profusely due to the onset of the injuries, making him look like a blood-soaked person.
He swayed for a moment, then stood firm again. He clenched his fists, shook his head, and said, "Indeed, I'm getting old..."
Kuro gripped Shusui tightly, baring his teeth at him, "Did you think being frozen for thirty years would keep you in the same state as thirty years ago? Do you think you're an American?!"
"Stop talking nonsense, kid."
Wald took a few steps forward. "You killed my brother, so I'll kill you!"
"Don't talk big!"
Kuro raised Shusui, his expression ferocious. "Just because you keep trying to shove your way into my face, you're already doomed. You've already angered someone as good-tempered as me, do you think you can still live?"
Is he good-tempered?
If Chloe heard this, she would definitely deny it.
Mr. Kuro sometimes even loses his temper with Lida. Although such temper doesn't bother Lida, for Kuro, Mr. Kuro's mood determines the extent of his misery that day, and incidentally, also determines the extent of Sazir's injury.
Lida and her subordinates all agreed that Kuro was a strange and eccentric guy.
Not to mention that this guy has a bit of a wicked sense of humor from time to time. Even Fanny, who has the best temper, has the attitude of "the world has suffered under Kuro for too long" towards him.
Good temper is something...
It has absolutely nothing to do with him.
