This Im possesses eyes that see through the true nature of the world; Kuro certainly wouldn't believe him if he were just listening to his boasting.
However, once the battle begins, it turns out that's really the case, and then we have to reconsider.
Abilities, swordsmanship, domineering aura, and even killing intent—anything that circulates on this vast ocean can be broken down by him.
It's not invalid, it's just cracked.
Cracking it with minimal effort and experience.
So Kuro has no choice but to do something different with him.
In retrospect, the conjecture was correct.
His ignorance and frivolity don't come from here. To decipher it, you'll need experience in this area.
"Interesting moves... I've never seen them before, no, they seem to be from another world. They're unpredictable, just like you, always giving me unexpected surprises."
Imagine
Im glanced at the area covered by the claws, then looked back at Kuro, narrowing his eyes. "However, this kind of move... cannot win."
Whoosh!
His figure vanished, and Kuro's eyes snapped open, golden light reappearing in the Autumn Water, "The Secret Technique of the Mysterious God's Style - Black Tortoise!"
Click!
Just as the tortoise shell shield appeared, a sudden sword blade pierced through his defenses, heading straight for Kuro's chest.
Kuro quickly descended, and as soon as he landed, Im followed him like a ghost, sticking close to him, the blade falling swiftly.
when!
Kuro blocked Shusui upwards, stopping the blade of the rapier, and then launched a powerful flying kick at Im's chest. The kick missed, as Im had already stepped back to avoid it.
“But your ‘light’ isn’t strong. Even with moves I’m not used to, it’s still like a firefly’s glow, never as bright as the moon.”
Im said calmly, "For eight hundred years, ambitious people have emerged one after another, and there are people everywhere who want to rule the world. You are no different from them."
Kuro stretched his body, looked down at the blood-red armor that remained undamaged despite being slashed by a rapier, and said, "You're no different from those people outside."
He is omniscient, omnipotent, and all-seeing, but he is also a human being.
Although it can break through most forces, there is always a limit.
Otherwise, beings like Kaido wouldn't be so rampant that even the World Government can't do anything about them. In the past eight hundred years, this guy's appearances have been limited. Whether he's too lazy to go down or doesn't want the world to know the truth, it all indicates one thing: he's not that strong.
The people he wanted to kill were mostly members of the D clan or those who knew about the three major weapons.
Those who knew about Pluto were previously in the hands of the old fishman, and later came into the hands of Franky, but the man was already dead.
Poseidon, also known as Shirahoshi, seems to have been unsuccessfully captured, and his current whereabouts are unknown, though Kuro himself doesn't seem to care.
As for Uranus, Kuro knew a little about him; he was supposedly with Elbaf, but he didn't know the exact details.
He knew, and Im certainly knew too, but the sea remained the same.
Either he can't move, or... his strength is just so-so.
It's not very strong, but it's very troublesome.
Just a monitor of the world...
"The Profound Mystery of the Unknown God's Romantic Journey..."
Kuro ran two fingers across the blade, and golden light enveloped it, then suddenly transformed into a strange bird that completely enveloped it. The bird cried out and spread its wings, flying towards Im.
"Vermilion Bird!"
"Another slash I've never seen before...? No, it's mixed with something else."
Im's eyes darkened, and instead of confronting Kuro, he chose to retreat.
The Vermilion Bird swept across the surrounding buildings, its intense slashes shredding the flowers, grass, and walls. The giant bird approached Im, and before Im could even retreat, a human figure emerged from the center of the bird and quickly closed in on him.
*Smack*
Kuro grabbed Im's arm with one hand, clamping it tightly, and grinned maliciously at him.
The Vermilion Bird descended, transforming into a multitude of slashes that engulfed Im's body.
Numerous slashes rained down on Im, causing him to tremble, but the fierce blows couldn't even tear through his robes.
"Your clothes are one with you, aren't they?!"
Kuro bared his teeth at him, strained his arm, and with his eyes wide open, quickly flung Im away. In that instant, Kuro flew forward and slashed down with Shusui.
when! !
In mid-air, Im blocked Shusui with his rapier and was about to counterattack when Kuro leaned forward and slammed his head against Im's head.
Bang!!
With immense force, Kuro pressed down on Im and crashed through the wall, collapsing to the ground.
"You're not omnipotent either!" Kuro floated high in the sky, laughing at him.
"I never said I was."
Amidst the ruins, Im slowly rose, still gripping the sword, his clothes now filthy, his eyes fixed on Kuro. "In fact, I know very well that I will eventually be defeated, but what will happen if I am defeated?"
"Lucil Kuro...do you really understand? This world is vast, far beyond your imagination, and fraught with hidden dangers, just as many ambitious individuals as you are. Have you ever considered this: if you defeat me, can you truly rule the world?"
Im said slowly, "The world will be in chaos. Those who do not submit to you will never submit to you. They will wage war against you because if the World Government can be defeated, then you can be defeated as well. There will be even greater chaos on the seas, even greater chaos than now."
