The golden pillar, resembling a missile warhead, possessed an inner layer of domineering aura, obscured by its golden radiance.

This move is somewhat similar to Doflamingo's "God Slayer," but its power is much weaker.

That guy's lines can cut through so-called steel and gold.

And this move, for Kuro...

"Lion, True, Thousand-Heart Valley!"

Luo Gui was swung upwards, and a domineering black-gold slash swept forward in a fan shape, instantly slicing through the golden pillars.

"It's not over yet!"

Tesoro roared again, opening his left hand to try and heal the gold, but at that moment, Kuro appeared in front of him.

Luo Gui's blade was cold and gleaming with white light, while Kuro's uniform shimmered with gold, swaying slightly as he approached.

Just like... that head of golden hair, and the white light emanating from Luo Gui's blade was like the pale clothes of that girl from before.

"Stella..."

Tesoro murmured absentmindedly, his left hand, which he had intended to gather the gold back into, unconsciously opened, revealing that only his ring finger was without a ring.

laugh!!

Luo Gui slashed across his neck with incredible smoothness, ripping off Tesoro's head.

The face that flew off the neck, looking somewhat dazed and confused, landed heavily.

The surging gold liquid and the gold pillars gathered above disintegrated at this moment, exploding into gold dust that scattered everywhere.

"He's lost his mind."

Kuro landed on the ground, looked at Tesoro's head, and sighed, "Otherwise, to deal with someone like me, what you should do is build a defense first, although it still won't be very effective."

At this moment, Kaji walked over and asked, "Is that all?"

"What do you think?" Kuro said, "I'd waste my time at this level. I won't leave the East Blue yet."

Wow, gold! So much gold!

Lida raised her hands and cheered as the gold dust fell, then said with some worry, "Kuro, quickly use your invincible power to think of a way, don't waste this gold dust."

Kuro clenched his left hand, and the gold dust that had been scattered in the air and fallen to the ground reassembled, forming a huge golden ball.

Even without Lida saying it, he would have done the same. This is real gold, not some fake that Tesoro created with his powers.

Moreover, his abilities require gold to be used, so there must be gold involved.

Kuro didn't stand on ceremony; he gathered the scattered gold dust into a golden ball and sent it directly into the sky.

The manpower and resources required to collect individual gold dust are far more valuable than the gold itself, but having the ability makes all the difference. Once he gathers the gold dust together, it becomes a large gold lump, which, when melted down, becomes incredibly valuable.

Kuro's ability is semi-permanent; things like levitation and ascension are maintained by his ability. So, if he were to perish, the things in the sky would definitely fall.

However, such cohesion will not change with its own defeat; it will become fixed.

Just like the Lion Mountains that condensed when the old man with golden hair fought him before, even though the island eventually sank, those Lion Mountains remained unchanged.

"Hey, Kuro..."

Suddenly, Jiaji came over and called out, gesturing with his lips in one direction.

"Um?"

Kuro looked in that direction. Because the surrounding metal walls had melted, he could see the outside world clearly. From here, he could also see the ocean. At this moment, the ten warships on the ocean had already docked on the dilapidated Gran Tesoro, which had lost its neon lights.

"They're here... You two, go and hold them off? I'll handle it."

"No problem." Jiaji chuckled and walked straight over there.

Gion smiled and followed Kake.

The ten warships are not important; what matters is Rob Lucci, the current CP0 member. Whatever his previous mission was, his current mission is definitely related to money. They want this money, and this man needs to be stalled.

Some things can be done in secret, and even if the World Government knows, they will turn a blind eye if there is no evidence. But if you do it openly, that is a provocation.

As Kake and Gion headed towards the ten warships, Kuro began scanning his surroundings. "So, where is this money?"

Gran Tesoro is neither too big nor too small, and Kuro could easily sweep it away. If he used his powers, he could reduce the size of the ship's surface by three meters. But right now, he needs to find money and gold first.

Searching one by one would definitely take time, but now that Rob Lucci has arrived, he must be carrying a mission from the World Government to collect the money. That man only cares about missions and has never known what it means to make room for maneuver. If we are slow, Clow Reed will not be able to get the money.

As members of the same faction, they naturally wouldn't harm him for money; Kuro wouldn't do that.

Kakei and Gion's attempts to delay are merely verbal; Kuro himself needs to speed things up.

He activated the Den Den Mushi on his wrist and made a call.

"Ah... Vice Admiral Kuro, is there something you need?"

The tiny Den Den Mushi yawned, its face turning into a lazy expression.

"You've rested enough, right? It's time to move around a bit. Come here."

On the other side is Moore.

Kuro brought this guy with him, but he's been guarding the ship the whole time. Now it's time to use him.

"Ah...I understand."
