Boom boom boom!
The indiscriminate bombardment by cannons reduced the buildings in the port to ashes and also destroyed the buildings in the town ahead, turning the town into ablaze.
Massive numbers of people died; under the bombardment, they were either reduced to pieces or blown far away and unable to move.
Although they were much stronger, their strength was still within the range of ordinary people. Moreover, these were cannonballs from a large warship, which even a slightly stronger person would not be able to stop.
Even the naval soldiers at headquarters couldn't stop this bombardment, let alone ordinary people.
This scene was witnessed by all the lieutenant generals.
Huoshaoshan finally turned his head away, unable to bear to look any longer.
He is a kind-hearted person by nature.
Doberman's expression was solemn, and he looked very fierce, but there was also a hint of wavering in his eyes.
In the Navy, if we're talking about who's the most ruthless, it's not Sakazuki, but Onigumo—the kind of person who disobeys orders, defies justice, and would even shoot his own subordinates.
But even Onigumo wouldn't dare say he could kill hundreds of thousands of people without any hindrance when given an order!
That's over 100,000 people!
Even if someone controls or threatens you, you might not be able to make that decision.
Kuro is down...
And once it was downloaded, there was no hesitation!
I used to think that Kuro, who killed every pirate he encountered, was a very appealing Marine, but now it seems that if he's really determined, he can kill anyone...
Kro's hands trembled slightly. Although he had been quite excited just now, having participated in the Buster Call, he was still terrified when he actually saw the bombed-out carnage.
There are too many people!
If this really causes a huge uproar, how will we clean up the mess later? Doesn't Mr. Kuro have any ambition left?
His core argument is clearly still based on the people!
How are we going to explain killing so many people?
What are you thinking about?
During the shelling, Kuro glanced back at the troubled-looking Kuro and asked.
“Mr. Kuro…”
Kro opened his mouth, then said, "With so many people, what if the higher-ups start making trouble..."
“I’ll take their place. Their own people don’t want them, and they’re under their control. They’ll die fighting amongst themselves anyway. They’ve also released a powerful vengeful spirit. We’ll have to deal with them. It doesn’t matter whether we act sooner or later, it won’t delay anything.”
Kuro said directly, "If those people up there can't do this math, I'll do it for them."
“It will be reported. Morgans disobeys the World Government’s orders. Once it’s published, it could damage your reputation…” Kro worriedly said.
“What reputation do I have?” Kuro rolled his eyes. “What do you need a reputation for in the Navy? If you want a reputation, go become an officer.”
You didn't say that before.
Kro smirked. "You, who value your pride above all else, aren't you ashamed to say something like this now..."
"Don't you feel guilty?!"
At that moment, the man with the Brant hair on the island roared, "Don't you feel any remorse! Of course you feel remorse! You've killed so many people! There's no way you don't feel remorse!"
Under the relentless bombardment, the dense crowd seemed to be rushing to their deaths; a single shell could destroy them. By now, there were many large gaps in the crowd, like a large cake with several large holes cut out in the middle.
Brandt's words moved Fire Mountain deeply.
Yes, he's a naval officer, he's supposed to protect the people, but now he's become an executioner who slaughters civilians. Regardless of whether he was threatened or not, this has crossed the line for them as naval officers.
"Come on..."
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "There's a saying in my hometown: in the realm of 'citizenship,' there are two kinds of people—the people and the people's enemies. And in this situation, whether I acknowledge it or not, whether they like it or not, the fact is, they are already 'enemies.' Letting them run wild will only lead to them killing each other under this old man's control. It's all suffering, so it's actually easier for me to help them resolve this suffering!"
The public is divided, but Kuro is unwilling to reveal such things.
Because in this world, the overall surface is a binary opposition: the navy and the pirates. The navy protects the people, while the pirates rob the people.
As for the nature of the masses, no one would understand even if I explained it, so why bother talking about it?
Kuro had forgotten all about this matter, after all, he had lived here for so many years, and this region, this world, was simply not suitable for that kind of theory.
The deed is done, the decision is made, so it's a one-way street to the bitter end!
Let's achieve a good result!
"Continue!" Kuro gritted his teeth, staring viciously at the severed head. "You'd better be dead. If you don't, I'll make sure you never die!!"
Sometimes you can't trust what people with special abilities say, because you don't know if it's true or false, and you can't judge it.
But you can't gamble on Kuro.
If we don't move him and let him control the people to kill each other, and if we let him move freely as he says, he will go to the next location and cause the same casualties.
Ultimately, it's all about fighting and dying, so it doesn't matter who's in charge.
In the end, it would be best if Brant died. If he didn't die, Kuro had already decided that he would never die!
Kuro knows how to torture someone.
"If you don't die, I'll cut you into human sticks and leave you somewhere for eternity!" Kuro's voice was as cold as ice in the sky.
Kuro opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was impossible to live forever, but seeing that Kuro was still angry, he didn't dare to speak.
Little did he know, Kuro possessed something.
In his "Heavenly Treasury," there are still a few items that can be considered 'great treasures'.
For example, pure gold.
That thing that grants immortality is a great treasure.
It can slow a person's growth to the point of near-stopping. As long as the light of pure gold shines, the person being illuminated will grow slowly, almost to the point of time standing still.
This is a good thing; it can grant immortality.
However, if the usage is different, it may not necessarily be much better.
If someone were a stick, unable to move, and destined to stay in a confined little place for eternity, I believe no one could bear that feeling.
No matter how strong one's will is, how long can it endure?
Calculated by day?
Calculated monthly?
Or is it calculated on an annual basis?
No!
Kuro wants him to calculate it in units of 100 years!
This is the price for deceiving him and making him willingly become the executioner!
Therefore, it's best not to lie to Brandt, or the consequences could be very serious.
At that point, he might really turn on us. That continent in the sky just happens to be missing a living spectacle, and it's best if no one is so fortunate as to become that lucky one.
