"Oh? So you're here for me..."

Epp smiled slightly: "Why? Let me think. If your navy is only after pirates, those guys over there are clearly more of a threat than me. After all, I'm just a petty thief. But your primary target is me..."

He thought for a moment and said, "Zeffa's apprentice?"

Before Kuro could react, Aipu quickly retreated and hid in the ruins of the building behind him, disappearing from sight.

"Disappeared again..."

It's not that Kuro can't see Aip's figure, but it's strange that his Observation Haki can't sense her.

Just now, my Observation Haki only detected two people.

However, the power of Observation Haki is merely an extension of perception; its true power lies in sensing danger.

He only noticed Aipu because he sensed danger; otherwise, he really wouldn't have noticed.

"A power user?" Kuro whispered.

At that moment, the Sig on the top of the building jumped up, looked up at Kuro, and said, "You killed Chuanzang? I thought Chuanzang had released such a strong killing intent on his own. That knife... is in your hands now."

"Yes, it seems this Golden Lion is stronger than we thought."

Suddenly, Aip's voice rang out beside him. Aip appeared next to Sig at some point and smiled at Clow, saying, "That's perfect. Let's deal with someone as dangerous as you first, then take down Chaton and Momousagi. That way, the World Government will suffer heavy losses."

Kuro smiled upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Pirates, indeed, are good at dreaming."

“Hey, Gregon, aren’t you coming down to help?” April asked, looking up.

"I only want to fight a strong opponent one-on-one!" The burly man above spoke in a voice as loud as muffled thunder.

Kuro glanced at the man, narrowed his eyes, and looked thoughtful.

"Forget it, we've had enough, let's not count on him." Sig said with a sneer.

He stepped forward, fiery red scales emerging from his body, and looked at Kuro, saying, "You wanted to capture me before, didn't you? Now I'm here, giving you this chance, but... you'd better be alive!!"

Scales covered his entire body and face, turning his pupils into golden vertical pupils. His open mouth revealed sharp teeth, and a tail covered in fiery red scales shot out from behind him, its thick and powerful tail slapping the ground, each slap creating a crack in the ground.

This body is brimming with power.

"A Zoan type?" Clow clicked his tongue. "Another Devil Fruit user."

"I am 'Red Dragon' Sig!"

Sig grinned maliciously, "It's a Red Lizard Man who ate a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Ancient Zoan-type Dragon-Dragon Fruit, in its Great Red Lizard form!"

"Ah... an Ancient Zoan. I thought it was a Mythical Zoan. I was just looking forward to it. But then again, how could you possibly be a Mythical Zoan? Otherwise, Kaido would consider you his mortal enemy."

Kuro looked Sig up and down and said, "However, it's enough for the first time to see blood."

"Drawn blood? With that old, worn-out knife?"

Sig laughed loudly, "What else can that knife do besides emanating killing intent?! Chuanzang has used it before, we know its effects. Although it will give him power, the knife itself does no harm. It's just a broken knife. It's okay to deal with ordinary people, but against me, it can't even cut my scales!"

This knife, in the hands of Chuanzang, is like this. Although it makes him much stronger, the worn-out blade cannot cut through his own scales!

In terms of defense, his scales are extremely strong!

"oh?"

Kuro gripped the longsword tightly and raised it slightly. The neon lights illuminated the nicked, rusty blade, giving it an eerie glow that, like blood, instantly covered the entire blade.

The blade wasn't wide, but rather long and slender; even in Kuro's current height, it was quite long.

This is a long katana, but a long katana... is the best sword of the [Mumei Kami Furyu].

"The way I use this knife is different from the way that person only knows how to copy and paste."

Whoosh!

The voice was very close to Desig when it finished speaking the last word.

Kuro flashed there, his blade flashing with blood, and slashed across with a single strike.

The slash wasn't fast. Sieg wanted to dodge, but the moment he made a move, his body suddenly froze, and his golden eyes revealed a look of terror.

It was as if some fear was growing in his heart, and the powerful sense of oppression made him unable to move at all.

Conqueror's Haki?!

No, it's not...

That was... that murderous aura from just now!!

Pfft!

The excruciating pain brought Sieg back to his senses. He groaned and quickly retreated, clutching his left shoulder.

The entire left arm was severed by this one cut, the cut was perfectly smooth, with no protrusions visible.

The arm covered in red scales lay on the ground, its surface dull and lacking the vibrant color of Sig itself.

The blood that flowed out was not viscous, but rather loose.

Luo Gui, who had cut open his arm, now had a large amount of viscous blood on his blade, as if the essence of the blood had been drawn up by this cut.

The blood touched the blade and quickly disappeared.

It wasn't swept away, but disappeared directly, just like it was absorbed.

At the same time, the notch on the blade was being filled in little by little, and the blade appeared to have more sharpness and brilliance than before.

“Luo Gui, this is how you use it,” Kuro chuckled. “This sword won’t break, and there’s no need to reforge it.”

Sufficient killing intent will allow this supreme greatsword to unleash its inherent power.

Absorb fresh blood to replenish itself!

A knife is something that will definitely break.

Aside from the black blade nurtured by domineering energy, all other blades will develop nicks or break during combat.

At this point, it needs to be repaired, and it needs to be repaired by a famous knifesmith.

An average knife maker will only lower the quality of the knife.

Many of the famous swords that were originally ranked among the eighty-three "Masterpieces" were downgraded to ordinary famous swords and were no longer in the eighty-three rankings because they were not properly repaired after breaking and their quality was not maintained.

But Luo Gui, this supreme great sword, doesn't need to be sent for repair after a battle like other swords.

The moment the killing intent fulfills its requirements, it will have another effect.

It absorbs blood to repair the damage to the blade.

This is a disguised knife that will never break.

Even if it were his colleague, the Marine with the 'Rust-Rust Fruit' ability, who came into contact with this sword, as long as there was still a trace of the sword, Kuro could use that trace to kill someone, absorb enough blood, and restore the sword to its original state.

He looked at the blade, which had recovered somewhat, and said to Sig, "Your blood alone doesn't seem to be enough, but the three of you can barely restore this sword to more than half its original strength. Three great pirates, used to temper my sword for the first time, is not an insult to this Supreme Grade Sword."
