"Illusory Kill Without Thought" is a technique that Kuro just came up with.

He can use his abilities to create illusions through killing intent, so he can naturally do the same with a knife. Killing intent will entwine around the knife, creating an illusion.

However, this illusion can only display what the enemy is thinking for now; it cannot be used for specific manipulation.

But if you play for a while longer, you'll improve.

Gage walked over and glanced at Grion's body.

The corpse had a faint smile on its face, and Kaji didn't know what it was smiling about. Besides the previous wounds, Kaji noticed a thin line of blood on Gryphon's neck, which made him take a deep look at Kuro.

The knife was extremely sharp; after cutting open the man's neck, the wound was so thin that it didn't even break his neck.

What a terrifyingly swift strike!

"Wow, they got beaten up like this..."

He glanced around at the flat, unobstructed scene and sighed.

Those buildings have long since been piled up somewhere. All around, besides the flat ground, there is only the huge crater next to Gryphon, and the Gran Tezolo is almost completely broken up.

In the commercial district, half of Gryphon's business district was destroyed, and the other half was just shaken apart and drifted away.

Now only the VIP area remains.

"Bolo bolo bolo..."

Kuro's Den Den Mushi rang.

He slowly lit a cigar, took a puff, and then answered the Den Den Mushi on his wrist.

"Oh~ Kuro."

A lewd voice came from the other end, "The Celestial Dragon is dead, how scary, what are you doing?"

"I just took down a few old pirates. Why are you looking for me now that the Celestial Dragons are dead? Go find Tesoro! Why are you meddling in other people's business, old man?" Kuro said.

"I was on my way here. This matter is quite serious, Kuro. Are you prepared to explain yourself?"

"To fulfill my duty? How about I kill a few people to spice things up for the government?"

Kuro rolled his eyes. "What can you do now that they're dead? Tesoro can't escape. The pirates who were killed admitted that they were invited by Tesoro."

"Look, the world is so dangerous. I've reported this to the higher-ups so many times, telling those idiots not to come down from Mary Geoise so casually. These Celestial Dragons who come down either become pirates or create chaos. If just one of them comes down, they'll create some terrifying pirates in a short time. Can the Navy even continue to exist?"

They are more than just pirates.

The Celestial Dragons commit one evil deed, which produces an extreme martial artist; they commit another evil deed, which produces the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army.

"Well, let's deal with the current situation first. We can deal with any problems later at the World Conference. If possible, let's capture Tesoro," Kizaru said.

"If he doesn't resist, I'll take him alive. Alright, sir, I'll hang up now."

Kuro hung up the Den Den Mushi, looked at Kake and Gion, and said, "The three of us should be enough."

Gion laughed and said, "There has to be an explanation. Tesoro and his group are enough to satisfy us."

As she said this, Kuro gave her a strange look. This woman had quite a bit of killing intent about her.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, a burst of intense artillery fire came from outside.

Because the ship was broken apart, Kuro could see outside and saw a row of warships firing at them. The fire not only targeted this side, but also covered the small boat that had been split apart earlier.

Kuro opened his eyes, raised his hand to the surface, and saw a barrier of seawater rising in front of the split hull not far away. Cannonballs entered the sea and exploded into sprays of water within the barrier.

Boom! Boom!

Meanwhile, a barrage of artillery fire rained down, exploding all around. One shell exploded right next to Kuro, the shockwave whipping up his cloak.

"Who the hell gave the order to fire!" Kuro frowned, glancing at Gaki. "Bro?"

Kaji shook his head: "I don't know. I consulted about the Celestial Dragons before, and my order was to wait until they arrive before discussing it further."

“Same as my order,” Gion said. “However, they probably won’t listen to us. These warships were originally meant to protect the Heavenly Gold, led by Rob Lucci from the CP side.”

Kuro clicked his tongue. "Give me a call, from the Navy."

Gion gave him a phone number; it was a rear admiral from ten warships.

Kuro immediately called, and as soon as the other party answered, he started cursing: "This is Kuro! Who the hell gave you permission to fire?! Did we give you permission before you opened fire?! That's a civilian area over there. I went through a lot of trouble to gather them together, not for you to use as targets! Are you kidding me? You're not giving me any face?!"

"Ku, Lieutenant General Kuro."

The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi said tremblingly, "The order to fire was given by Rob Lucci."

"It's me."

The Den Den Mushi vibrated, and soon a cold, expressionless face appeared on it.

"The Celestial Dragon is dead, and the murderer remains unknown. The government's order is to exterminate everything operating on the ship, Vice Admiral Kuro. This is the mission." The voice belonged to Rob Lucci.

"I don't care about you! Anyway, stop firing on that civilian area. Besides civilians, there are thousands of our navy personnel there! Hey you, Rear Admiral, order all warships to stop shelling that area. It's not like it's a Buster Order."

If the commander-in-chief of these ten warships is only a major general, then the subordinates are only five colonels and ten lieutenant colonels.

The major general is in charge of overall planning, five colonels are in charge of commanding two warships, and each warship is also equipped with a lieutenant colonel as the commander. This configuration is correct.
