Kuro didn't move when faced with O.C.'s challenge, but Kuro stepped on the edge of the ship, jumped down, and landed on the island, facing O.C.'s opponent.

“Mr. Kuro doesn’t need to lift a finger. I’m enough. You despicable scoundrel who launched a sneak attack!” Kuro said coldly.

O'Cardi revealed a sinister smile, his eyes widened, and a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from behind him, rushing past like a whirlwind.

Most of the two thousand sailors on the Golden Lion were overwhelmed by this momentum, their eyes rolled back, and they collapsed to the ground.

Conqueror's Haki!

"oh..."

Kuro glanced back at the fallen Marines. "They really do have Conqueror's Haki. It's not false information."

The information about Robert Henry provided by O. Caddie contained Conqueror's Haki, which meant that he himself was indeed true.

This is a qualified man.

"Conqueror's Haki, huh..."

Kro's body stiffened, then he grew larger, his upper face was covered by a wolf's head, and his limbs sprouted black fur and sharp claws, completing his transformation into a beast.

"But this level is useless against me! I'm working right next to Mr. Clow, and your level of Conqueror's Haki is too weak!"

Kuro's killing intent, or even Barrett's Conqueror's Haki, is far stronger than this person's. Kuro has always been by Kuro's side and has been assaulted by his killing intent countless times. He has also experienced the war between Kuro and Barrett.

He could withstand that mixture of murderous intent and domineering aura; that domineering aura was nothing compared to what he was capable of!

"Is that so... I haven't been awakened for very long, but I still have the potential to be a king."

O. Kadi gripped his longsword tightly and raised it. "Whether you're from the Navy or anyone else, fight me, this pirate, to the death. I won't hold back. Don't blame me if you die!"

"Lightning-fast shave!"

Kro narrowed his eyes, his body flashed, and he transformed into a black shadow, rushing straight ahead.

when!

O'Kardi swung his longsword, the blade blocking the way directly in front of him, a spark flashing across the blade.

Kro gripped his longsword with his wolf claws, baring his teeth and saying, "Stop talking big, we don't know who'll die yet!"

O'Cardi gave a cold laugh. He thrust his longsword forward, deflecting Kro's claws, and then pulled the sword back in, creating a gust of air.

"Sword Blowing Storm!"

The longsword was swung open, unleashing a chaotic flurry of slashes.

"Iron block!"

Kro had just been parried and hadn't had time to dodge when he saw the slash approaching, and his body tensed up.

Jingle bells!

The slash struck him, tearing his clothes and making a crisp sound on his skin.

"Storm Kick - Chaos!"

After blocking the slash, Kro leaped up and kicked out a series of afterimages in front of him, each afterimage carrying countless pale blue slashes that rushed directly toward O. Kadi.

O. Kadi stepped onto the air, escaping the direction of the slash, but just as he jumped, Kro disappeared and quickly appeared behind him, kicking him in the back.

Bang!

With that kick, O'Cardi slumped to the ground, then swung his sword backhand, unleashing a slash that aimed directly at Kro in mid-air.

"Iron Fist Technique - Collapse!"

Kro threw a punch, shattering the slash with a bang. At the same time, he stepped into the air and disappeared, leaving a black line in the air as he appeared behind O'Cardi. His arm, like a whip, lashed out with the cold light of claws.

Pfft!

O'Cardi's back stiffened as he was caught in four claw marks. He took a step forward and then quickly rolled, slashing backward with his sword as he rolled, which just happened to hit the afterimage left by Kro.

Bang!

Just then, Kro appeared beside him and kicked O. Kadi away, sending him sliding across the ground for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop. He quickly stood up, gripped his longsword tightly, and ignoring the footprints on his face and the blood at the corner of his mouth, squinted and said, "Not bad speed."

Under the moonlight, a flash of green light appeared in Chloe's eyes as he grinned and said, "You're no match for me!"

"Huh? Is Chloe a little faster than before?"

On the deck, Lida murmured softly.

"Moon Wolf, huh?"

Kuro looked up at the moon, which was half-hidden by clouds, and said, "Under the night sky, with the moon still shining, the power boost is comparable to that of the Mink Tribe."

The Mink Tribe's power in the 'Full Moon' state is several times that of their normal state, a fact that Kro is even greater than.

"Whether I am your opponent or not is not important. I am a pirate and you are a marine. It's that simple."

O. Kadi said calmly, "It's either you kill me, or I kill you. That's the nature of our relationship."

"madness."

Kro scoffed, “You have such a bright future ahead of you, why do you have to seek death here? With your qualifications, you could simply go back to report for duty. Even if you were the captain, there wouldn’t be any problems.”

Upon hearing this, O'Cardi lowered his eyes...

...

"Lieutenant General Ster! Lieutenant General Ster!"

O. Kadi held Vice Admiral Ster, who was covered in blood. The vice admiral's white hair was stained with blood. Around them were dead pirates lying on the ground.

"Hold on, Vice Admiral Ster, the medical team is on their way!" O'Cardy, wearing a navy cloak, shouted.

The elderly Vice Admiral Stern shook his head, a slight smile appearing on his face, and said softly, "I'm very fortunate that, as a Marine, I ultimately died in battle against pirates, rather than in a sickbed..."

That was in the South China Sea. At the time, he was a naval captain and was accompanying his superior, Vice Admiral Stern, on a vacation back to his hometown. They found the town burned to the ground by a pirate crew. While arresting the pirates, Vice Admiral Stern fell into their trap and died after exhausting his strength.
