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...
Humphrey pulled out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and covered his nose with disgust, as if he didn't want to smell the blood. He looked at the corpse with disdain and said, "A lowly person like you dares to cooperate with me, Humphrey?"
"Oh!! The captain of the 'Flying Rudder Pirates' is almost at the treasure! Will he be the first winner?!"
Suddenly, a broadcast from below reached the island.
Humphrey, who had been strolling leisurely, paused, looked at the highest cliff on the island, and laughed, "Oh dear, someone actually got there first. But being the first to grab something doesn't necessarily make you the winner. Let's go, let's go harvest. Let's speed up our march."
He led his robotic subordinates toward the edge of the cliff, their speed inexplicably increasing considerably.
At the same time, Austin and Figel, who were fighting, stopped and looked towards the edge of the cliff. Austin stopped first, clasped his hands together, and ran over Figel's body towards that direction.
"Let the fighting continue over there. I don't want to become someone else's help in seizing the treasure."
"You brat!" Fegreh muttered in a low voice, and followed after him.
On the other side of the sunken ship at the edge of the cliff, Kuro and the other two slowly approached. By this time, they had already climbed onto the edge of the cliff and were close to the sunken ship.
With their Observation Haki, they can easily avoid nearby pirates, avoid getting entangled with them, and simply find their destination.
When those pirates were fighting each other, it was actually Kuro who arrived first.
He took a step forward and landed right on a pile of gold coins. He bent down and picked up the old wooden box.
"So... what is this thing?"
He reached out his hand, about to open it, when suddenly his eyes narrowed and he looked down.
Not near the island, but below it, on the island of Greygate.
That aura...
Fierce and full of fighting spirit!
"You son of a bitch!"
Kuro grinned, "You've been hiding it well, haven't you? You've concealed your aura quite well, but now you can't hold back anymore!"
