As the ships descended, Kuro on the execution platform narrowed his eyes slightly. "Lida, go stretch your legs. There are too many pirates at sea."
"oh."
Lida, who was sitting there, sprang into the air. As soon as her feet touched the execution platform, she disappeared in a blur. The blur flashed several times between the air and the ground before reappearing in the square in an instant, her legs slightly bent as she landed on the ground.
At that moment, as the water splashed up from the pirate ship hitting the sea, a cloud of smoke rushed forward first.
"Straw Hat Boy!"
The smoke transformed into Smoker's upper body, and with a shout, Smoker clenched his 10 hands, the ends pointing directly at the straw hat on the ship, and thrust them down.
Luffy looked up and smiled at Smoker.
when!
One foot blocked the attack of the ten hands, and the collision of their domineering auras created a shockwave.
Sanji took a drag of the cigarette dangling from his lips, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said calmly, "Hey, don't lay a hand on our captain!"
call!
He suddenly leaped up on his other foot, twisted the sole of his foot that was blocking the end of the jitte, and turned his body around. The leaping foot went straight for Smoker's face.
Bang!
Smoker blocked with his jitte, then clicked his tongue and said, "That strength... I'm not targeting you, Devil Chef."
Forced backward by the force, Smoker turned into smoke and circled around Sanji before heading straight for Luffy.
Even if it's a Logia-type...
While airborne, Sanji bent his right leg, and a ball of flame shot out from his foot. He spun twice in the air, his legs whipping through the smoke. "That won't do!"
The flames mingled directly with the smoke, filling the air.
A muffled thud echoed, and a ten-handed creature emerged from the smoke, kicked by the legs, revealing Smoker's body through the smoke.
"Fire and smoke are pretty much the same!" Sanji said casually.
Bang!!
With an imposing force, he kicked the cloud of smoke away.
The smoke billowed across the square, but gathered in the center to form Smoker's body.
He stared at the ship with a gloomy expression and clicked his tongue: "Damn it!"
Luffy adjusted his straw hat again, then looked up and grinned at Smoker: "Hehe, Smoker, don't stop me."
"I think the best way is for you to obediently let me catch you."
Smoker clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, things will be beyond your imagination. You shouldn't have come, Straw Hat Boy."
When it really came down to this decisive battle, Smoker's feelings were quite complicated.
From the moment he met the man in the straw hat, he harbored complex feelings for him.
Alabasta, Punk Hazard... Let Smoker know that he doesn't actually hate this man, and that at times, what he does is righteous.
so...
Why not just obediently go out to sea and be a pirate, striving towards the dream of becoming the Pirate King?
Why did we come here?
"Because I have to save Shanks!"
Luffy grinned and said, "I'll definitely save them this time."
"Yeah..."
Smoker looked at his smile, paused for a moment, then shook his head: "That's true. If you didn't come, you wouldn't be yourself... In the end, you're still a pirate, and just a pirate."
Bang.
He slammed his ten-handed sword heavily on the ground and shouted, "I will definitely arrest you! Straw Hat Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy!"
"Excuse me, Smoker."
He had barely finished speaking when a voice came from behind him.
Smoker looked back and saw Lida walking slowly forward.
"You're going to take action?" Smoker frowned. "Do we need you at this time, White Whale?"
"I am Haodie!"
Lida's temples bulged with veins as she glared at him. "Don't yell like that, you idiot!"
Now, Lida has naturally become a candidate for general after Kuro became marshal.
There are three generals, and of course, there is also a general candidate. She is considered to have filled the vacancy left by Kuro's promotion.
There was only one admiral candidate this time. Kakei and Gion were still on the front lines. But Smoker always believed that someone of this caliber would only be needed after the pirates landed, at a crucial moment, especially since this woman was extremely important to Kuro.
Is it really feasible to deploy them now?
"Hey, don't underestimate me!"
Seemingly noticing the confusion in Smoker's eyes, Lida waved her hand, signaling Smoker to move aside, then looked up at the people on the pirate ship and curled her lip:
"You guys are really persistent, you actually came... Kuro actually said that if you hadn't come, his first target would have been Teach, and you wouldn't have mattered. But since you came, it's different. Kuro has made a lot of plans for you."
"Hehehe..." Luffy grinned and said, "I'm not afraid at all."
Lida shook her head: "You don't seem to understand the nature of this. Making plans for you isn't a good thing for you, Straw Hat..."
Straw Hat Luffy, Garp's grandson, and Dragon's son.
Previously, Kuro treated them like annoying flies, finding them a real headache. But this time was different. This time, Kuro didn't find them annoying at all; instead, he devised a series of plans for them.
Being annoying doesn't really mean anything; it just means I find them annoying. Otherwise, I would have killed them long ago.
Only when you seriously formulate a plan for it and take it seriously is that you truly intend to kill it, like now.
"Kuro told me to stretch my legs a bit, so here I am to tell you..."
Lida sighed, her body gradually growing taller. The overalls she wore stretched taut, revealing her abdomen beneath the fabric. Her lower body changed from knee-length pants to hot pants, gradually taking on the appearance of a young girl.
She clenched her right fist, pulled it to the left until her fist was level with her head, and said in a deep voice, "Kuro's strength when he's serious, pirates!"
A white halo appeared on her fist, causing the air around it to distort slightly.
"That pose..."
As the Whitebeard Pirates approached, Marco's pupils constricted noticeably when he saw the white-haired girl's posture. "Hey, seriously? Don't joke around."
A fist slams violently into the air in front of it.
Click!
The fist seemed to have struck something, and with a crisp sound, the air cracked like glass, spreading rapidly outwards, as if a transparent mirror placed in front of Lida had suddenly shattered, with fragments scattered all over the ground.
"Airquake!"
rumble...
The waves of the ocean ahead formed erratically, crashing against each other, the vibrations spreading throughout the entire sea.
Boom!!!
