The dark gold hilt was untied at the gold part, and instantly, it was as if tangible blood gushed out from the hilt, flooding downwards like a tsunami.
"Blood, blood!"
"It's falling! It's falling! Run!"
The surrounding Wano Country samurai showed expressions of fear and instinctively fled backward.
"It's fake!"
Zoro roared, and his Conqueror's Haki was rapidly released through Enma, resisting the invasion of the blood. The blood disappeared like a shadow, calming down the Wano Country samurai.
Cold sweat beaded on Zoro's forehead as he gritted his teeth and uttered, "The cursed sword..."
The hilt of the sword floating in the air, like his Yama, had the aura of a demon sword, and in terms of level, it was even higher than Yama.
Can someone really wield a demon sword of that caliber?
Moreover, the amount of killing intent was terrifying; merely revealing the hilt of a knife was enough to unleash such astonishing killing intent...
His Conqueror's Haki was no match for it!
The clash between Conqueror's Haki and killing intent made Kuro glance at Zoro below. He shook his head and said, "Your level isn't high enough, Roronoa Zoro..."
The remaining golden spiral disintegrated, revealing a long, clear, moon-like blade.
"Show your might, Luo Gui!"
Kuro reached out, gripped the hilt of the sword, and swung it violently, unleashing a clear yet slightly blood-red blade of light.
"Feel honored, then kneel to welcome it!"
The crimson blade flashed out, unleashing an even larger crimson tsunami, as if the sky had been stained with blood and collapsed. In that instant, everyone below looked up, their faces filled with despair.
The sky collapsed...
They're going to be crushed to death!
That suffocating feeling lingered in their minds, making them turn pale and sway as if they were about to faint.
"Hey, you're kidding, right!"
Zoro exclaimed in disbelief, "Killing intent can rival Conqueror's Haki?!"
Although he didn't really understand what Conqueror's Haki was, whether it was there or not, it was something he wanted to kill with one blow, but the killing intent compared to Conqueror's Haki was indeed too exaggerated.
Although his moves contain elements of 'demonic energy' or something similar, it is actually Conqueror's Haki. He is a man with inherent talent, but he has always been by Luffy's side and subconsciously did not think about it in that direction. Even after training with Mihawk and being identified as having this talent, he did not think about developing it.
As long as they have a captain, that's enough. Luffy is their captain, and Zoro agrees with that!
It wasn't until his battle with King that he broke through this barrier and began to use Conqueror's Haki, employing a technique called 'Demon Aura,' but it was still Conqueror's Haki.
However, this murderous aura was completely different. It was genuine murderous aura, not some disguise of domineering color, but simply the aura accumulated from killing too many people.
However, the killing itself is subtle and imperceptible; only those with keen senses can detect it, or those of the same type can tell whether the person has killed anyone before. In reality, it is not dangerous.
Having a murderous aura is the same as having killed someone; it's that simple.
Zoro used to think that Kuro was very murderous, but that he wasn't anything special; he was just someone who had killed a lot of people.
However, the idea of materializing killing intent is quite exaggerated. This guy has mastered a method to accumulate this subtle killing intent in some way, turning it into something that can act as a form of pressure, and then releasing it.
This means that, based on the amount of killing intent he possesses, the number of people he has killed is in the tens of thousands.
This is enough to give us the strength to compete with Conqueror's Haki!
Conqueror's Haki is a trait widely acknowledged on the high seas. A man with Conqueror's Haki, if he continues to grow, will undoubtedly become a powerful figure. However, this is not necessarily true for those without Conqueror's Haki, especially when it can be used to entangle or even cover an area.
But Kuro's power alone is so great that it has even reached the point of changing the rules of the world.
Such a person is perfectly capable of countering Conqueror's Haki.
"That's really amazing!"
Amidst the intense killing intent that was so strong it could almost make someone faint, a powerful voice suddenly rang out.
Luffy grinned, revealing his bright white teeth, and said, "I've always wanted to say that you're really amazing! When you came here to fight Kaido and the others, I already thought you were incredible. Now that I've experienced it firsthand, I think you're even more amazing!"
"Why are you praising me now?" Kuro frowned.
I meant to say...
Luffy's eyes widened, and with a boom, a crimson-tinged-black Conqueror's Haki poured out from his body, enveloping the Wano Country samurai. It collided with the blood that seemed to fall from the sky, causing the surrounding air to vibrate. This vibration also caused the blood phantom to disappear.
In the midst of this clash, the Wano Country samurai who had been shrouded in murderous intent returned to normal one by one.
Conqueror's Haki inherently possesses the power to discriminate, and it can be controlled effectively.
That means this kid's Conqueror's Haki has indeed reached a certain level.
"I will become the Pirate King!" Luffy declared solemnly.
"One Piece..."
Upon hearing this, Kuro's eyes darkened, his teeth bared, and his entire body began to change. His face seemed to contort and rise, the straight tear marks transforming into crescent moons under his eyes, and blood-red samurai armor appeared on his body.
"At a time like this, why are you saying such meaningless things!"
The blade of the Luo Gui transformed into a black back and a blood-red edge. Kuro swung the Luo Gui at Luffy, causing a surge of blood energy that made the blade glow with a crimson light.
brush!
A black and gold outline, with a crimson slash within, flew out and headed straight for Luffy.
Boom!!
The slash was incredibly fast, reaching Luffy directly and creating a cloud of crimson that exploded around him, raising dust and mist.
"Luffy!" Zoro called out, quickly taking a deep breath. His demonic energy manifested as three heads and six arms, and his blades danced wildly. "Demon Aura - Nine Swords Style - Asura - Hellish Trouble Wind!!"
The wildly dancing blades transformed into countless slashes, a dense barrage of attacks aimed at Kuro in the sky.
"Isn't this just a powerful slash? No need to make it sound so profound..."
Kuro glanced down and slashed down with his sword. The slash brought forth a large number of blood-red slashes, which collided with the incoming slashes and shattered them all.
Just as Zoro was about to move again, he suddenly heard a sound from inside the smoke. "Zoro, don't make a move yet!"
From within the smoke, Luffy's now towering figure gradually emerged. As the smoke dissipated, his arms were crossed, clearly having blocked the previous slash. Luffy exhaled, the gas shooting out like a sharp sword. He then spread his legs wide in a horse stance, placed his hands on his knees, and looked up at Kuro: "It's my turn!"
