Pangu Palace.

Between power.

Five old men, pose.

"Report!"

A government official burst in, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head, saying, "Tesoro has replied. He said it was Vice Admiral Jinni who did it because he coveted his wealth and committed the heinous crime of murdering a Celestial Dragon. Their message is that we should punish him severely."

"Impossible."

The curly-haired old man shook his head and said, "That guy Kuro is still loyal to us."

“Yes, he has a good reputation among the Celestial Dragons. Charlos likes him very much. It’s impossible that he killed a Celestial Dragon,” the red-skinned old man said.

"We funded a large portion of his flagship, so let's not talk about that." The old man with the map on his head waved his hand. "That Tesoro guy can't escape this. Although it's a neutral zone, he committed such a heinous crime. We have to take back this power."

“Yes, it would be one thing if it were just an ordinary person, but there are three general candidates there, and the Golden Lion has already started its operation. There is no room for maneuver in this matter. The death of a Celestial Dragon is a major event, and someone must give an explanation. If it can't be someone from within our ranks, then we can only look for them from outside.” The long-bearded old man pondered for a moment and then said.

"Five hundred billion."

The bespectacled old man holding the knife said calmly, "It's not good for this money to stay in one person's hands. It's better to take it back and let Jin Ni do it."

“Perhaps we will have to pay a price,” the curly-haired old man said. “Jin Ni is not an easily satisfied person. We have suppressed him too much these past two years.”

"Let him handle it himself. Jin Ni is a man of principle." The long-bearded old man nodded, and then said to the government official kneeling on the ground, "You know what to say, right?"

"yes!"

...

After leaving the commercial area, Kuro and his group headed straight for the glittering VIP area.

The residents here were also taken away by Kro and his men beforehand, leaving behind only some of Tesoro's men lying down, as well as many more of Tesoro's men.

At this moment, right in front of this road, a large crowd had gathered, led by the burly Dais, who was holding a giant axe.

"This is Lord Tesoro's territory! Do you Marines want to defy the World Government's orders?!" Dais shouted.

Kuro ignored the large man, glanced around, and said, "There are quite a lot of people..."

As far as the eye could see, Tesoro had at least several thousand men under his command.

That should be the total number of people in this area.

but...

Kuro drew the Rakuki, glanced at the nick on the blade, and said, "I'll take it all. This sword isn't even fully formed yet."

Upon hearing this, Gion Kakei and Rita all took a step back.

He sheathed the demon again, assumed the iaido stance, flicked his left thumb upwards, and vanished.

Then a gentle breeze brushed against their necks.

At the same time, both Kake and Gion's expressions changed.

"Wow, that's really fast..." Jia Ke exclaimed.

As the breeze passed, Kuro reappeared in the same spot, the Raki he was holding now transformed into a perfectly intact blade.

The blade is slender, cold, and sharp.

"Va Brahma".

He sheathed Luo Gui and said casually.

laugh!!!

The heads of those thousands of people flew into the air at that moment, including Dais, whose expression didn't even change, before his head flew up and landed on the ground.

The loose blood didn't spray out, but instead flowed down his neck, turning the ground into a pool of blood.

A thousand people were instantly killed!

"Can swordsmanship reach such a level?" Gion murmured.

Although these people are weak, some even with the strength of ordinary people, it would still take them a lot of effort to overcome them.

But for Kuro, one move is enough.

Dobran's techniques were originally designed to clear out weaker opponents. In the past, Kuro might have had to put in more effort, but now he has grown considerably.

...

In the VIP area, Tesoro slammed his fist heavily on the table, his face contorted so grotesquely it looked like he was about to collapse into a ball, appearing ferocious and terrifying.

"How can this be repaired?!"

"I didn't kill those Celestial Dragons! It must have been that Marine, that Golden Lion! He killed the Celestial Dragons just to cause me trouble!!"

He leaned forward instinctively and roared into the Den Den Mushi's receiver: "I have so much money, and a few mere Marines have caused me so much trouble. What are you thinking? Aren't you going to take care of this for me?!"

"Impossible."

The Den Den Mushi's expression remained calm. "Golden Lion will not kill the Celestial Dragons. You are solely responsible for this matter. I was instructed to deliver a message to you: your neutral zone authority has been revoked. From now on, you will once again bear a bounty and become a pirate."

Tesoro used to be a pirate, but after gaining money and power, he hooked up with the Celestial Dragons and was able to get rid of that identity.

But now, also because of the Celestial Dragons, he has lost that identity.

Snap!

The call was disconnected on the other end of the Den Den Mushi. Tesoro's hand, gripping the receiver, bulged with veins as he crushed it.

"Lord Tezolo..."

Bakara looked at Tesoro with concern, "What should we do now?"

"What's the point of doing it? It's just a matter of becoming a pirate again. If things don't go well with the World Government..."

Tesoro touched the gold ring on his hand, a ferocious glint in his eyes. "Everyone likes money!"
