I'm just disappointed!

Whenever he had free time, he and Lida would take turns training Kro, forcing him to increase his combat strength.

Back in Enies Lobby, Kuro felt that Kuro's fighting strength had increased. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to even hold his own against Bruno, or even fall short. Bruno had the ability, but Kuro had nothing.

He's been practicing for so long, and yesterday he even talked about inventing a new move. Turns out, what is this thing?

The quality is not as good as before.

Buck staggered to his feet, coughing violently a few times. That blow had almost knocked him out of his original form.

What happened?!

These two people in front of me don't seem that strong.

He is none other than Buck Arlo, the 'Evil Imposter,' a notorious pirate with a bounty of 370 million!

What happened?!

Was it a mistake?

Buck swallowed hard, staring at the sword at Kuro's waist, and said, "My new move requires the use of a sword."

"So why didn't you go get it before? It's such a hassle."

Kuro untied the [Flower State] and tossed it to Buck, saying, "Hurry up, I want to see it."

Buck gripped the knife and was immediately startled. This was the aura of a "famous sword." He knew a bit about swords. Looking at the cloud pattern and then at the hilt, he realized it was the "Huazhou," one of the fifty famous swords.

"Hmph hmph hmph."

Buck grinned wickedly and looked at Kuro, "For a swordsman, having a good sword can multiply his combat power!"

He gripped the hilt with both hands, the tip of the knife aimed at Kuro, his body slightly bent, like a leopard.

"Look closely, this is the last thing you'll see, Sword Technique: Meteor!"

Whoosh!

Buck's body blurred into a blur, and a cold glint shone brightly in the moonlight, like a shooting star drifting across the earth, heading straight for Kuro's chest.
