"No wonder Mihawk said your swordsmanship is exceptionally talented."
Shanks stared at Kuro above him and said slowly, "Now it seems that I was right. I shouldn't have let you go back to Marineford."
"Stop talking big, you were almost dead back then!"
Kuro chuckled and swung his Ragnarok Blade, "Lion - True - Thousand Cut Valley!"
Swish swish swish!
Numerous crescent-shaped Haki slashes formed a black-gold curtain in the sky, as if moonlight were pouring down from the heavens, creating pillars of slashes that descended upon Shanks and his companions.
“Try this!” Kuro’s eyes began to glow crimson.
The feeling of crushing the ground from the air is incredibly exhilarating!
Fighting Kaido and fighting Linlin, both of them can fly and have ways to chase you, so you can only fight them head-on.
And that bastard Teach can suck you in, leaving you no chance to even fly.
How could there be such a situation? Both are Emperors, but Kuro can unleash his power to his heart's content without worrying about being attacked.
Because this is at sea, this is in the sky, the other side has no ability to pursue him!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The slashes rained down in unison, their sheer number completely obscuring everyone's vision, and the resulting waves swallowed up the surrounding area as well.
Kuro then gripped the hilt of Ragi's sword and smiled in that direction: "They really are working together."
The slash disappeared, revealing the scene below.
The Red-Haired Pirates' executives, led by Ben Beckman, stood in front of Shanks, each exuding an aura of dominance and glaring defiantly at Kuro above.
They blocked those attacks.
But this was to be expected. After all, it is known as the most balanced pirate crew. The strength of the officers is not weak. Unlike Kaido and Linlin's subordinates, there are only a few who are worth mentioning. Every single one of Shanks' officers is capable.
"Although we are at a disadvantage now..."
Shanks moved swiftly, using the sampan as a surfboard to propel himself forward and arrive in front of the officers.
With a smile on his lips, he said, "Let this admiral see the might of our 'Red-Haired Pirates,' my men!"
"Oh!!!" the cadres shouted in unison, their eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.
Since entering the New World, they have encountered even more dangerous situations on their path to making their captain one of the Four Emperors, but they are still alive.
This time is no different!
They will win!
Shanks took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly snapped open, and his entire body shone with a bright red light. The Conqueror's Haki enveloped his entire body, combining with his Haki, and gradually showed patterns on his arms, neck, and exposed chest. Dark red lines began to appear on his Armament Haki-covered body, like magma flowing in the cracks of rocks, glowing with a scorching red.
Along with the rapier, the blade began to turn black and fiery red patterns appeared.
“Full power form, huh…” Kuro narrowed his eyes, and before he could finish speaking, he suddenly turned his gaze to Beckman.
He exhaled a breath of turbid air, which shot out like steam. His body, covered by domineering aura, gradually revealed white patterns, which covered his body like lightning. The gun in his hand also changed into a pattern of white lightning.
Another full-power form covered in Conqueror's Haki.
Ben Beckman, the only 'vice-emperor' among the Four Emperors, is just different from the other Four Emperors' subordinates.
Similarly, the cadres all had swirling clouds and fiery energy appear on their arms or weapons, all with special effects.
The special effects flow is a category.
That's all about 'unifying dominance'!
These officers all possess the highest level of Haki, which Wano Country calls 'Muramasa'!
As they exerted their full strength, even the sampan beneath their feet was covered by the Haki, becoming incredibly hard. This made Kuro abandon his idea of destroying the sampan and causing them to fall to the bottom of the sea.
"No wonder he's one of the Four Emperors..."
Kuro exhaled and subconsciously pouted, "That's really scary."
All the officers of the pirate crew possess Unified Haki, and the captain and first mate also have Conqueror's Haki covering their entire bodies. Although they lack the support of special abilities, their overall strength is indeed the most balanced 'Iron Wall' among the Four Emperors.
Among the Four Emperors, it's unclear who the strongest individual is, but in terms of the overall quality of their pirate crews, Shanks and his crew are clearly superior.
After all, battles aren't one-on-one duels. If they could be resolved in a one-on-one fight, what would be the point of having so many marines? We could just put one strong fighter in each area and that would be enough.
No wonder that during the Marineford War, this one-armed man had the confidence to say that if they couldn't win, they would fight the Navy.
They certainly have the confidence to back it up.
Shanks pointed his sword at Clow and said, "Let's have a fair fight, Clow!"
"You have the nerve to tell me to be open and aboveboard in front of so many people?" Kuro couldn't help but curse.
These people are of much higher quality than their navy.
Their navy's mainstay force consists of only a few elite vice admirals; the rest are incompetent.
Even for Kuro himself, with so many subordinates, only Lida and Moore are truly capable. Although Kuro has recently caught up, he is still a little behind.
If we were to actually fight them with our current configuration, it would break at the slightest touch.
but...
Who can blame them for having a superior air and space advantage?
Kuro took a deep breath, his eyes widened, and his gaze gradually turned ferocious. White mist faintly rose from his body, and his entire body seemed to twist and sway like a shadow in the fluctuations of the air. A domineering aura gradually covered his entire body, causing a cross mark to appear between his eyebrows and tear tracks to appear under his eyes.
As he bared his teeth, his body swelled up, and the straight tear tracks under his eyes began to curve, extending from the corners of his eyes towards his cheeks.
Then, the domineering aura covering his body disappeared, and black and red shoulder armor extended from his shoulders. The domineering aura began to expand, forming a warrior's armor with a twisted sun symbol on the chest around his body. Six blood-red ribbons extended from around the armor, wrapping around his shoulders, waist, and upper thighs.
Like a god, yet also like a god fallen into hell, both god and demon.
"I have to admit, in terms of quality, your side is indeed superior, but I'm not without my own advantages..."
Kuro gripped the Raki tightly, his eyes contorted with rage, and said, "We'll take them down one by one!"
On the Golden Lion in the air, Moore looked down through his binoculars, muttering unconsciously, "Was it really necessary to make such a fuss?"
At this altitude, only a telescope can see it; it's not visible to the naked eye.
"The Red-Haired Pirates, as expected of the Four Emperors..."
Kro was also watching, and at that moment he swallowed hard, feeling a bit scared.
Fortunately, Mr. Kuro destroyed their ship in time and launched the Golden Lion. If they had boarded the ship, there probably wouldn't have been many of his own navy members to survive.
He might survive, but Sazir and the others would definitely be crushed by that intensity.
