Did you dodge it?

Kro retracted his claws and sneered, "Unfortunately, this is all you can do."

"I don't want to waste my time with you, I still have to set sail!"

Luffy said seriously, "I'm getting serious now!"

"What a coincidence, me too."

Kro lowered his body, his entire body began to swell, and his voice became deep and shrill, "Let me show you, the great Lord Kro, the power you've gained over the past two years!"

"Roar!!"

A werewolf over five meters tall appeared in front of the gate.

Kro transformed into his full orc form, pressing his front claws to the ground, and exhaling a breath from his enormous, ferocious wolf head, stirring up the dust on the ground.

"Straw Hat Boy, let's settle our score for the East Blue!"

"Wow! What is that? A werewolf?! So cool! What's going on? You're so cool!" Luffy's eyes lit up, his mouth wide open, and he exclaimed excitedly.

"ah..."

Kro, who was about to make a move, paused, wagged his tail a few times, and then reacted, saying fiercely:

"Don't think that just because you praise me I'll let you go. You're destined to be arrested!"

"That kind of thing doesn't matter!"

Luffy looked at Kuro excitedly and said, "Hey, werewolf, you're so cool, want to be my partner?"

"Wolf-Running Cannon!"

boom!

A burst of energy was unleashed with a roar. Luffy shifted to the side and heard a loud explosion behind him. The wall shattered, revealing a view of the outside.

"Wow, that was close... That was incredibly powerful! You're terrifyingly strong!"

Lu Fei looked back and exclaimed in surprise.

"Straw Hat Boy! Show me your strength and fight me!"

Kro said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to get past me, a naval captain!"
