The Red-Haired Pirates are not actually that weak. After all, they are one of the Four Emperors. Anyone who thinks they are weak would probably find it difficult to survive on the seas.
The four sea emperors, those who deserve this title, how could they possibly be weak?
Even the newly joined 'Blackbeard' Teach, with his power, almost caused Kuro to perish there.
But a person with an ability is still a person with an ability, and Teach is a person with an ability, and even a dual-ability person.
Abilities can compensate for many of a person's shortcomings, such as physical fitness, attack power, or other things. There are many things that make them different from those without abilities. An ability user can easily defeat someone who has trained for a long time, while defeating an ability user requires a lot of effort.
Shanks is not a Devil Fruit user, even though he is known as the most 'domineering' man on the sea.
Without any special abilities, he is naturally very stable. He is not afraid of falling into the water. With his domineering aura, he can deal with most ability users, even Logia-type users.
With his level of strength, he's not afraid of any ability users.
But ultimately it depends on the person...
Kuro can fly, and this is over the sea, taking advantage of the terrain. He can't defeat Kuro. Of course, most importantly, Kuro is very strong.
On this point, Shanks, who was unable to launch an attack or even move around much, was at a disadvantage.
He had originally anticipated this, but he thought that no matter how exaggerated it was, it wouldn't lead to a complete wipeout. He could hold out with Kuro for a while, just hold out without provoking the Navy. He would wait a few days before they realized they needed to support Kuro and then leave.
This was Shanks' original plan, after all, he just wanted to keep people out of Luffy's battles.
Teach, that bastard, is now holed up in his own territory, waiting to regain his strength. Apart from the Navy, no one will bother Luffy anymore.
He believed in Luffy, which is why he made this decision.
But who could have imagined that the casualties would be so great?
Not only did the people he brought perish at sea, but he himself also lost an arm. His only arm was severed by Kuro's blood-red ribbon during the battle.
He experienced its power firsthand.
That thing has unparalleled destructive power!
If they keep playing like this, even Beckman...
"Hahaha!!"
Hearing Kuro's arrogant laughter as he flew towards Beckman, Shanks, who was submerged in the sea with his head above water, opened his mouth and, ignoring the pain in his arm, suddenly shouted, "Kuro! Stop!!"
His domineering aura remained, and his words, imbued with that aura, made Shanks' voice sound like a grand, resounding bell. Even sea kings would automatically retreat at the sound of his command.
But Kuro completely ignored Shanks. You think he'd just stop because you told him to?
You've lost your hand, and you're still arguing with him...
What, you respect disabled people?
You're a pirate, you're the enemy!
Kuro's target is Beckman, who is intelligent, truly intelligent, not like Kuro.
He used to say that Crowe was second only to Ben Beckman in brains, but later he found out that the person who made that comment had said something like "only characters appearing in the first eight volumes" back in his hometown in his previous life. The memory was a bit long ago, and he forgot how many volumes were in the first eight volumes, but he figured the number of characters wouldn't be that many. He guessed that they had only just left the East Blue, or maybe they hadn't even left yet.
There's no such thing as high intelligence. While Kroh is smart, he's not as freakish or analytical as Ben Beckman.
As for this guy being known as the smartest person on the sea?
Kuro didn't believe that; he thought Sengoku was smarter—after all, that old man was a Buddha...
A true Buddha is one whose body and spirit are like the Buddha's, and who has attained the Buddha's wisdom; that is not a lie.
The Navy's golden age was brought to its peak under his leadership.
However, Beckman was so arrogant. Back then, he pointed a gun at the old man and told him not to move. That was a real thing. Although they ended up fighting, it was a different feeling.
"Try telling me not to move too!"
Kuro's eyes were ferocious as he charged towards Beckman. Beckman gritted his teeth and, as Kuro charged, raised his gun and pulled the trigger, firing a white lightning bolt. However, the bullet and the gun were blocked by a ribbon. The Void Killing technique cut off the bullet and also cut off most of Beckman's gun, rendering him unable to fire.
Although both Beckman and Shanks use Conqueror's Haki, Beckman's strength is still inferior. Shanks' Conqueror's Haki couldn't stop Kuro's Void Slash, so Beckman definitely can't.
In fact, even Kaido, whose defense was considered unparalleled by Kuro in his 'Dragon Demon' form, was still wounded by the Musou Kūsha attack, let alone them.
After slicing away the bullet and most of the gun in his hand, the power of the "No Life, No Death" technique remained, and it slashed directly toward Beckman's head.
There's no need for the new Lifeless Void Killer; it's a waste. If this hits the head directly, although the power will be reduced considerably, it will still be effective. It might not be able to shave off this guy's head, but a severe head injury is enough to make him fall into the sea. Kuro has a way to deal with these two.
Six ribbons were used against their officers; two blocked their full-force attacks, one severed the redhead's hand, and now one blocked Beckman's gun and cut off a portion of it, the force of which hadn't dissipated and could still hit Beckman's head.
Once they've fallen into the sea and had their fun, give them the remaining two ribbons for their journey!
Twelve articles, that's impressive enough!
Kuro didn't use the twelve 'Empty Kill' techniques against Kaido and Linlin.
Because this thing is really physically demanding.
"Enough! Kuro! I surrender!!"
Just as the ribbon was about to reach Beckman's head, Shanks' voice intensified from behind, and he said something that bothered Shanks greatly.
"Um?"
The crimson ribbon paused on Beckman's head. Kuro, hanging upside down in front of Beckman, raised an eyebrow. In that moment of distraction, the ribbon that had already sliced off Beckman's gun faded away and disappeared into the air.
I'm not very skilled at controlling this thing yet, and I can't use it with ease. The Void Kill is a one-time use item; it's just a decoration before it's used, but once it's activated, even if it's just blocking a stone, it will disappear.
Kuro's ability to maintain its power for a moment before it runs out is already an improvement.
When Beckman saw that the ribbon did not land on his head, his wide eyes narrowed slightly, and he instinctively wanted to move.
Bang!
Kuro delivered a backflip kick, his foot slamming into Beckman's face. Although covered by Haki, power is still power. Under this immense force, Beckman was kicked backward, flying a distance along with the sampan beneath his feet before finally coming to a stop.
"Tch, you're pretty smart, knowing to bring that thing under your feet."
Kuro straightened up, glanced at Beckman, then turned to Shanks, narrowing his eyes as he said, "What did you just say? Surrender?"
