The Great Pirate Era.
The great seas surge and churn, powerhouses destroy and annihilate, each fighting their own battles. It's utterly—
Demotivating!
I, Russil Kuro, age tw...
In terms of numbers, their navy clearly had the advantage, but these pirates still went in without hesitation.
They raised their long, square pipes and charged forward.
Boom! Boom!
The irregularly shaped bomb rocks were blasted out from this square opening.
"Vice Admiral Kuro, please let me do this!"
Before Kuro could even make a move, Sazir yelled and charged forward.
"Strike Tide, Shatter Wind!"
Facing those bomb rocks, he threw a punch, the force of which stirred up the air and created a gust of wind that scattered the bomb rocks in front of him. The wind continued forward and hit several pirates in front of him, blasting them away and throwing them to the ground. Their bodies were covered in cuts as if they had been cut by wind blades.
"Hey!"
Sazir leaped forward, landing above the pirates, and grinned maliciously at them.
"How can it be repaired!"
Wearing a red scarf, Gevas raised his weapon, pulled the trigger, and fired a bomb rock from the square tube.
"Mudada!"
Sazir laughed heartily, and the flying rock bomb, which had just touched his body, inexplicably bounced off.
"Strike Tide, Heavy Wind!"
Bang!
As if pressing down on some kind of steamroller, Sazir pressed down with both hands, creating an exceptionally heavy air pressure that forced the pirates below to bend over.
Like a tiger among sheep, Sazel landed heavily in the midst of the pirates.
Bang!
The moment he landed, a shockwave rippled out from around him, and the pirate was blown backward like a rag doll.
"He's an ability user! Deal with him first!"
Gevas was also thrown backward by the impact, but he quickly stopped and raised the square tube in his hand. "We have special weapons. We won't lose. Just take down this ability user!"
This is the perfect weapon for blasting out bomb rocks—the Korf Bomb Gun, a specialty of the Kingdom of Korf, specifically designed to blast these irregular rocks.
Accuracy isn't important; all that's needed is to increase the impact force. The explosion's range is far greater than that of an artillery shell.
One person using this weapon might be a little weak, but a hundred or more people bombing it in a concentrated burst could kill the enemy.
This is how they wiped out the Kingdom's army before.
Just a mere ability user...
Gwas gripped the weapon tightly with both hands, exuding an aura of dominance.
Meanwhile, among these pirates, about a dozen pirates also covered their long tubes with Armament Haki.
boom!
The powerful bomb-like rock was blasted towards Sazir in the center.
"I told you it's no use!"
Sazir's hands moved like afterimages as he punched the bomb rocks. As soon as his fists touched the bomb rocks, they flew to the left and right as if they had been bounced away by something.
boom!!!
The bomb rock flew down onto the pirate group and exploded, blasting the surrounding pirates away. Even those standing nearby were blown apart, losing limbs and howling on the ground.
At the center, Sazir crossed his arms, raised his head arrogantly, and sneered, "So what if you've added Haki? This kind of rudimentary use of Haki is no match for mine, which has been honed through countless trials and tribulations and has gained new abilities! Come on, call out, call out the name of the great Lord Sazir, and I might consider making your death less painful!"
Kuro raised an eyebrow and said to Lida beside him, "Has this child been corrupted by Kuro?"
Lida nodded: "Yeah... a little silly."
Kro: "..."
He's right next to me!
Can you please be a little more mindful of your words? He heard you!
However, it must be said that Sazir has grown a lot; ordinary attacks cannot get close to him under the influence of his abilities.
Even when Kuro was training him, he would use his transformation powers, and in his normal human form, it would be really difficult for him to get close to Sazel, who already had the 'Fight-Fight Fruit' ability.
A hundred or so pirates, even those from the New World who know a bit about Haki, are still no match for Saziel, given their current skill level.
Soon, under his attack, all one hundred or so pirates lay on the ground.
They were either blasted beyond recognition by the heavy impact or blasted into pieces by the rebound of their own explosive rocks.
At this moment, the only one still alive, Gwas, was suddenly rushed over by Sazir, who grabbed him by the neck with one hand and lifted him up. He was screaming unconsciously and kicking wildly.
Bang!
Sazir threw a punch directly at his knee, the impact penetrating through his legs and causing them to hang straight down. It's likely that they were shattered inside.
“Navy…I, I will not submit! I finally escaped slavery, I will not submit!” Gwas said through gritted teeth.
"Ah...that doesn't matter." Saziel said indifferently, "Whether you submit or not is unimportant to us, because you're a pirate. Pirates are just someone who dies. By the way, can someone like you even be a pirate? Don't insult the image of pirates in my mind. Those who gather their elites on the seas, causing trouble and giving us headaches, are the ones who deserve to be killed by me, Lord Saziel!"
Click!
Sazir twisted his arm and snapped Gwas's neck, watching his body slip from his grasp.
He used to be an apprentice pirate, and although he was unlucky enough to encounter Vice Admiral Clow and embark on a path of no return, he has no complaints now.
Anyway, all he wanted was to become famous. Becoming famous as a pirate or as a navy officer was pretty much the same. He could become famous just by taking down a few big pirates.
He's already very strong now, and one day, Sazir Kuro will be able to reclaim the name 'Kuro' instead of always using his surname.
This was his initial goal.
Only by accomplishing this can Sazir Kuro's name resound throughout the seas!
"It's done, Lieutenant General Kuro, Mr. Kuro!"
Sazir looked over excitedly and said, "These pirates are no match for me!"
Kro pursed his lips and pushed up his glasses. "If someone like that is still your opponent, you should go back to headquarters and start over."
He's just a small-time pirate with a bit of swagger, and his highest bounty is 30 million.
This is a new world; the 30 million bounty is just the average for the first half.
In today's world, a starting bounty of 100 million is the average; only when you reach that bounty can you be considered somewhat interesting.
Why be so happy about dealing with this bunch of lackeys?
"Yes, I will continue to work hard."
After being told that by Kro, Sazir lowered his head, a hint of disappointment on his face.
Yeah, they're just a bunch of small fry, what's there to be proud of?
His goals are very ambitious; this kind of talent is nowhere near that level.
"There's still a weak breath inside, go check it out."
Kuro glanced at the village and started walking.
The life force inside looked like it was about to die; perhaps... it was different from these pirates.
