"What is that?! How did they do that?!"
On that ship, William, still shaken from falling into the sea, was screaming in terror.
shock!
That's a shock!
Why would such a cataclysmic power appear in the hands of this little girl?!
Is Blackbeard dead?!
"Take care of that little girl first!" William took a breath, regained his composure, and said to the others.
In any case, the fact that the move didn't cause them any real damage means that this kid's skills are still not very refined, so let's take care of this threat first!
"That won't do."
Suddenly, a faint voice sounded beside them. William and the other three were immediately startled and turned to look. Right in the middle of them, Kuro was standing there peacefully, smiling at them.
Meanwhile, the figure of Kuro on the warship ahead vanished like ripples.
Whoosh!
The four immediately created distance between themselves, and Swell, wielding a dagger, rushed behind Kuro and stabbed him directly in the back.
Bang bang bang!
Elmira wielded her twin pistols, unleashing several bullets as she charged toward Kuro.
Montblanc appeared on the other side, his fist radiating an aura of dominance, a powerful punch that pierced the air and aimed straight for Kuro's head.
William, standing directly in front, quickly turned around, drew his rapier, and thrust it straight at Kuro's heart.
Kuro merely glanced at it before saying, "Not bad."
He gripped the hilt of the sword directly, leaning forward at such close attack range, and said calmly, "Slash Wave - Circle".
Buzz!
A golden slash suddenly rippled outwards in a circle, shattering the incoming bullets and striking Swell's dagger, Montblanc's fist, and William's sword, deflecting them.
Of the four, three stumbled. As he retreated, Swell quickly dodged and pounced on the back of Kuro's head again, leaping into the air and thrusting his dagger toward the back of his neck.
"Not bad speed, but you're still a bit green to try and outrun me."
Kuro didn't even look at him, letting his dagger gradually approach him. Suddenly, he turned around, his arm swiftly grabbing Swell's wrist and throwing him heavily to the side. At this moment, Elmira also reacted and was about to raise the muzzle of her gun when she saw Swell being thrown over, and her movement froze.
In that brief pause, Kuro swiftly flashed through the gap between Swell's charge and Elmira, flashing a smile at her.
Bang!
He raised his foot and kicked Elmira hard in the stomach. The force of the kick made her stagger backward, her eyes bulging, and she gagged as she flew backward. At that moment, Kuro reached behind and grabbed Swell's collar as she flew backward, slamming her down hard.
Bang bang!!
Two loud bangs.
Elmira crashed directly into the ship's edge, creating a dent in the steel frame. Swell's head slammed into the deck, punching a hole in it and sending him tumbling head over heels.
"Diamond Smash!!"
At this moment, Montblanc jumped up, his legs soaring high, and with a sweeping aura, he fell like a battle axe.
Kuro raised his head slightly, and simply pointed a finger at the falling Montblanc.
Snap!
Montblanc's legs stopped abruptly as he fell. He stared intently at the finger that was pressing against his leg, and said incredulously, "How is this possible..."
Kuro's fingers didn't even completely touch his legs; they were firmly blocked and parried by a layer of domineering aura.
Montblanc also exudes an overbearing aura, but what surprised Montblanc was how incredibly strong this guy was. He could block his full-force attack with just a single finger.
Kuro smiled at him, then suddenly flicked his finger downwards, bypassing Montblanc's legs and letting his body fall, while his hand reached in front of his forehead and flicked his forehead with his index finger.
Bang!
In an instant, Montblanc's head was thrown back as if hit by a powerful bullet, causing his body to crash into the mast and leave a dent.
William's three most trusted subordinates were like chicks in front of him, completely powerless to resist.
This is a qualitative change. After all, Kuro is not someone who only uses brute force. He is a swordsman and has a lot of experience in physical techniques. Especially after spending a lot of time with Lida, he often disassembles and learns physical techniques and tries to apply the principles to swordsmanship. His skill level is already very high.
For him, subtle changes are more effective than simple, crude methods.
If Kaido and Linlin were here, they might just use a simple stick or a knife, simple and direct.
After flicking Montblanc away with one finger, Kuro pinched back with two fingers, catching the incoming Western sword blade with a 'snap'.
"Don't be in such a hurry. I'll teach you about the cruelty of the sea." Kuro turned to William with a smile, "My little fellow countryman."
"I'm much older than you!"
William gritted his teeth, and a large amount of high-temperature steam suddenly covered the blade and spread outwards. At the same time, he also exhaled steam, which, along with the high temperature, directly enveloped Kuro.
The power of this high temperature was comparable to that of flames, but William knew very well that high-temperature steam could do very little; the most important thing was the power it generated...
"explode!"
The moment it enveloped Kuro, a violent explosion occurred inside the steam, which combined with the air and spontaneously combusted without a flame!
That straw hat kid also suffered a loss from this move!
Long ago in the East Blue, he was frightened by Kuro and by his sword swing, which caused him to retreat without much fighting.
But things are different now. He is now very confident and determined to show Kuro his true abilities!
He didn't underestimate Kuro, but he no longer felt that he was no match for him. Moreover, his strength had increased a lot compared to before. Although Kuro could fight him to a standstill with his full power back then, judging from the power, it was probably about the same as his own back then. But now it's different!
and...
"Flash Sword!"
The instant the explosion occurred, William thrust his rapier straight forward, launching an immediate attack.
One sword strike, and this man will be killed!
"Not bad."
Amidst the firelight, a hand reached out and, with a gentle wave, dispersed the spreading flames and steam. Suddenly, that hand moved down and pressed down on the thrusting sword blade.
Kuro appeared unharmed in front of William, gripped the sword blade, and smiled: "Not bad, now you know how to use an illusion."
"you..."
William stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the hand above the blade—just one hand... firmly gripping his sword?!
What happened?
Last time, he used a knife to block his own attack, and the power of that attack was not low!
How could it be held in one hand now?!
