Rumble...
As the black blade fell, a sudden explosion rang out in the sky. Beneath the dark red sky, dark clouds gathered, brewing something.
Boom!
A thick bolt of lightning, as thick as a pillar, descended from the dark clouds, heading straight for the execution platform.
"roll!"
Kuro glared upwards, and the lightning exploded in mid-air, turning into countless sparks and dissipating in the air.
But this bolt of lightning also made him thoughtful, and he suddenly laughed: "You really are favored by fate..."
He looked at Luffy and said, "This time your father won't help you, and your grandfather won't come either. Even my ability to control the weather couldn't stop the lightning from gathering. That's impressive. I don't know if it's fate or luck, but it doesn't matter..."
"Eh? Luck? I don't want luck! Let me go, Incense Burner!!" Luffy was still struggling.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're a pirate, I'm a marine..."
As Kuro spoke, he moved the black sword up a little, looked ahead as if reminiscing about something, and smiled:
"To be honest, I don't dislike you. Although you're annoying, like a fly, your rumors and traces are everywhere on this ocean, but when I was a child... I didn't dislike you. In fact, I was captivated by your adventures and your stories."
"Really? I was that amazing! When you were little... um? Was I born when you were little?"
Luffy looked puzzled and tried to look up, but he couldn't because he was being stepped on.
"It's a pity. People always grow; no one stays the same. A truly capable person integrates into the rules of the world, finds their own path within them, and then pursues their dreams. This is a far more sophisticated approach than simply harboring dreams and blindly pursuing them in their name. Unfortunately, you are not like that, and you don't understand it, although simplicity has its advantages..."
Kuro looked up at the sky and whispered:
"I don't deny the importance of staying true to our original aspirations. After all, the will passed down through generations, the changes of the times, and people's dreams are indeed unchangeable."
"But these obstacles can be overcome by external forces. If you overcome them, you're a hero; if you don't, you're nothing. No matter how much fame you achieve, once you die, you're just another Rocks. But the sea will remember you—Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, Shanks, even Teach, and you. The sea will remember that there was once a group of pirates who almost reigned supreme on the seas, fought against the Navy, and then failed..."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and slowly said, "For the sake of my youth, do you have any last words?"
If we disregard physical age and only consider psychological age, he's actually not young anymore, so there's nothing wrong with reminiscing about his youth.
This time, the straw hat boy will never be saved again.
Luffy listened to Kuro's words in a daze, ignoring the pain in his body, he suddenly took a deep breath and shouted forward:
"I'm going to be the Pirate King!!!"
The enormous sound even echoed across the square, causing people to stop fighting and look towards the execution platform.
Whether they were from the navy or the pirates, everyone showed expressions of shock.
Even at a time like this, to say something like that...
"Monkey D. Luffy..."
Smoker chewed on his cigar, his gaze complex.
Personally, he didn't dislike the man, but regarding the navy's position...
His death is good for the sea.
"Luffy!!"
With tears in his eyes, Koby tried to move forward despite his body being unaffected, but was immediately stopped by Helmeppo.
"what you up to!"
Bellemerg wrapped his arms around his shoulders from behind and whispered, "Don't joke around like this! No matter how good your relationship is, you can't do this, someone could die!"
"I, I..." Coby gritted his teeth, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. "He's going to die! Luffy, that guy, he's really going to die! He's a good person, he's not the kind of evil pirate he is, why did he have to do this..."
"How should I know? This is the Fleet Admiral's business, you're not the Fleet Admiral! We're just the Navy, it's our duty to wipe out pirates, show us your usual spirit!" Helmeppo roared in a low voice.
The actions of such minor characters on the battlefield would not be noticed by Kuro, nor would the Navy on the battlefield.
There are so many lieutenant generals and rear admirals here, who would pay attention to the mental journey of a few individual naval officers?
On the execution platform, Kuro opened his eyes and said calmly, "Is that all?"
Luffy ignored him and instead grinned at the Straw Hat crew still fighting below, revealing a dazzling smile that Buggy played directly to the world through his Den Den Mushi.
Throughout the four seas, the first half of the Grand Line, and the New World, anyone who was paying attention to this war and had access to live streaming was watching quietly.
Windmill Village, Shells Town, Frostmoon Village, Xirob Village, Cocosia Village, Barati Sea Restaurant, Rogge Town...
Whiskey Peak, Alabasta, Jaya Island, Water Seven, Sabaody Archipelago, Dressrosa, Totto Land, Wano Country...
Everyone in the ocean was watching that radiant smiling face in the live stream.
