The man with bloodshot eyes cursed and swore, frantically striking everyone around him to vent his anger. But the more he vented, the more furious he became, the more violent his curses grew, and the wider his range of actions expanded.
"You damned bastards!"
A civilian who had broken away from the fight cursed loudly, then he smashed open the door of a house, found torches and tinder inside, lit the torches, and unceremoniously set the house he had just stormed into on fire.
"Burn! Burn you all!!" he roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Those who broke away from the battle were no longer content with killing the enemies in front of them; they wanted to destroy everything!
Destroy this disgusting land!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Brant laughed loudly at the sight, "How about that? This is my power! I don't have much fighting ability, but I don't need it! My only goal is revenge. Whether I'm strong or not is not important to me."
Then he looked at Kuro and laughed, "So what if you're an Admiral? You can't defeat me. My goal isn't to become the Pirate King or a strongman. I just want all of these people to die!"
"You son of a bitch..."
Kuro's face darkened completely. "Are you a psychopath? Why do you want these people to die?!"
"Hahaha, come and kill me!"
As those who fought gradually fell, Brant's almost solid body actually faded a little, but his face became even more ferocious and eerie.
Brant laughed maniacally: "Let me tell you another of my abilities. Do you see my body? Once it fades to semi-transparent, I can move freely. The extent to which this is achieved depends on the intensity of the fighting among the people of this island, because they are releasing their resentment!"
"Once I become semi-transparent, I will become an even more advanced 'vengeful spirit,' and then I will go to the next place. If you don't stop me, I will slaughter the entire Dominican Republic and then wreak havoc on other places. But if you want me dead, the people of Comorís must die with me. I planted the medium in all of them. I'm not at a loss, I'm not at a loss!!"
"Hurry up and make a decision, my body is already becoming transparent!"
“I’ll do it!” William’s voice rang out from the crowd.
William got up. He wasn't actually awake; he had been awake the whole time, but he was just too tired. After being caught in the rain and lying down for so long, he was able to get up.
He heard the conversation from beginning to end.
William knew very well that this was not something Kuro should do; Kuro was a Marine, while he was a pirate who could bear the infamy.
Otherwise, he'll be in trouble when Kuro comes to settle scores later.
Who told him to have been affected by the power before, and to be preparing to attack Kuro?
“Kuro, we can’t let someone like him continue to run rampant. Let me handle this!” William’s expression suggested he had made a very firm decision.
"I think it's fine. Letting the Seven Warlords of the Sea do it is no problem."
Kuro nodded subconsciously. It was a good idea. Now was not the time to be conflicted. As a former pirate, Kuro, although now a Marine, knew how to act with discretion and consideration. But when it came to making a decision, he was capable of doing so.
This guy is in this form now. You can either kill the people on one of the sub-islands and make him disappear, or you can let him continue, but if you do it this way, these people will still die.
Can we find a solution?
At least for now, Kro can't think of anything, but if he had to make a choice, he wouldn't hesitate.
But Mr. Kuro has only been promoted to general. If he were to slaughter the entire island, it would likely have a significant impact on his reputation. However, since William is now willing to take the blame, this idea can be carried out.
Kuro's expression was neither sad nor happy. He simply exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Trying to play the trolley problem with me, huh?"
Isn't this a classic trolley problem?
A madman has tied five innocent people to a trolley track. An out-of-control trolley is hurtling towards them and will run them over in moments. Fortunately, you can pull a lever to divert the trolley to another track. However, the problem is that the madman has also tied one person to the other track. Considering the above situation, should you pull the lever?
Note that those five people are also innocent.
Pulling the plug will save five innocent people, but you will be the murderer; you have chosen an even more innocent person.
No, those five innocent people will die, but you are not the murderer. You are the one who will be condemned because out of a total of six lives, you chose one and gave up five.
Similarly, this is the same dilemma: if Brant cannot bear to kill the people on this island himself, he will let them kill each other. After a certain point, they will be free to move around and harm the people on the next island. As long as the people on this island are alive and the medium is still there, the casualties he causes will be even greater.
But to stop him, one would have to personally order the killing of everyone on the island.
But the people on the island are innocent too.
so...
What does this have to do with someone holding a toilet plunger?
Kuro dialed the Den Den Mushi on his wrist and asked, "Have you arrived yet?"
“Mr. Kuro, it will be soon. The four of us have gathered and are now heading towards the Dominican Republic. We should arrive in two hours at most!” Cass’s resolute voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
"Okay, two hours."
Kuro hung up the phone and said to Brant, "Did you hear that? You only have two hours left to live."
Brandt stood there, staring wide-eyed at Kuro. "You made a decision so quickly?! Don't you find it hard to choose?!"
What's so hard to decide?
Kuro said nonchalantly, "The Celestial Dragons died here, so this island is definitely going to be gone. The only difference is whether there are more or fewer people. I'm not the decision-maker. The fate of this island was decided by the higher-ups from the beginning. Since you're here, there can only be more people."
He glanced at Brandt and said, "Anyway, it'll be more troublesome if you don't die, so we might as well take care of it all at once."
Kuro certainly has a conscience, but he can also distinguish between what's important and what's not. Once something happens, he will never show pity or feel sorry for anyone.
This is the tragedy of our times. Their navy is not omnipotent, and no one is omnipotent in this vast ocean. Once they are attacked by a superhuman, that's all they can do.
Kuro knew very well that it wasn't the right time yet; the Buster Call was still two hours away.
Two hours...
Kuro clenched his fist, and the rain and soil on the ground suddenly swirled up, binding the dense crowd. The rain and mud mixed together, binding them up to their chests and temporarily stopping them.
Let's temporarily halt Brandt's 'transparency' process.
If he can find a solution within two hours, then there is a solution.
If not...
I'm sorry then.
Kuro is capable of making decisions!
