when.
when.
when.
The enormous white-bearded figure descended the ship's steps, the end of his large sword striking the ground with each step, producing a clanging sound.
Behind him, all the squad leaders gathered and followed him.
As the white-bearded figure drew closer, its imposing presence grew stronger with each approach, its over six-meter-tall frame becoming increasingly imposing.
when.
The white-bearded man rested his long sword on his hand, and the sunlight shining on the blade reflected back into his eyes, adding a touch of coldness.
He looked at Kuro, then suddenly looked up and laughed, "Gurarara, kid, you did a good job, you actually took down Sira."
A man wearing a watermelon hat and carrying two rocket launchers on his back laughed:
"Dad, he's in the Navy. It's not appropriate for you to praise him like that."
"Gulalalala, what does it have to do with anything!"
This old man...
Kuro broke out in a cold sweat. The closer he got, the more he realized how imposing this old man was, even though his life force was already as faint as a candle in the wind.
"Dad, what are you doing out here? Go back and rest." Marco said worriedly.
Whitebeard waved his hand. "I was going to come anyway. That Sira should be dealt with completely this time. It doesn't matter whether I get off the ship sooner or later. But this brat..."
Whitebeard looked at Kuro and asked, "Hey kid, what's your purpose in coming here?"
"Old man, would you believe me if I said I wandered in by mistake?" Kuro asked with unusual sincerity.
Vista said, "Dad, we can't trust him. Someone with that kind of strength must have ulterior motives for coming to our territory."
“Yes, Father, we should arrest this kind of person, find out his whereabouts in the Navy, and prepare a response,” another squad leader suggested.
"That's right, no matter what, the navy is despicable."
"Yes, even if there's nothing there, the navy will still be wiped out!"
Several squad captains spoke up, and some even drew their weapons.
when!
The broadsword slammed down on the ground again.
Immediately, there was complete silence.
"I don't need the death of a navy officer to boost morale. Why? Because I am Whitebeard!" Whitebeard laughed heartily.
These words pleased Kuro.
What?
Did he run away from the show?
With so many people, if a fight really breaks out, he might not be able to escape.
It seems like Whitebeard is planning to let him go now?
Just then, a man dressed in women's clothing and wearing lipstick stepped forward, staring at the knife in Kuro's hand, "How do you have [Autumn Water]?!"
"Autumn Water?"
Whitebeard paused, looking at the sword in Kuro's hand, his gaze faintly recalling something.
Back then, it seems a man once spoke of that country's national treasure and the legend of the dragon-slaying swordsman...
"That's a national treasure of our country. How could a naval officer like you have it!"
Izo stared intently at the sword in Kuro's hand. He was certain that it was the "Shusui," the sword of the dragon-slaying swordsman "Ryuma."
Kuro raised an eyebrow. Come to think of it, this man's attire seems to be from Wano Country.
"Hand over Shusui!" Izo shouted at Kuro.
"That won't do. I went through a lot of trouble to trade with someone else, so this knife is mine."
Kuro gripped Shusui tightly and sincerely praised, "I must mention, your national treasure is truly amazing."
Upon hearing this, Yi Zang's pupils contracted. He gritted his teeth and said, "Father..."
Whitebeard glanced at the Shusui sword again and laughed, "Gurararara, my son wants that sword? Then go and steal it. We are pirates, and pirates are free to do whatever they want."
"Thanks, Dad."
Izang joined Marco and his men in their encirclement, raised his two pistols, and said, "If you don't hand over Qiushui, you'll die here today."
The man wearing the watermelon hat joined in, saying, "I'll help too, Izang."
Curiel, the 10th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Ah-le ah-le..."
Marco raised an eyebrow and said to Kuro, "It seems you're in for a tough time today, unless you hand over that knife. But I doubt that's going to happen."
"?"
Kuro tilted his head, a question mark clearly appearing on his face.
What's wrong?
Qiu Shui is wonderful.
I wasn't wrong.
How did you go from three to five?
What's the meaning?
Kuro didn't know what it meant, but he understood that it seemed like things couldn't be resolved peacefully.
He took a deep breath, and the Armament Haki covering his half-body spread throughout his entire body, covering him completely.
There was a cross mark between his eyebrows, tear stains under his eyes, and his shoulders, arms, and knees were all covered in a deep purple hue.
Like armor.
This sight surprised all the captains of the divisions except for Whitebeard.
"Hey, is this level of domineering a joke for real?"
Kuliel also drew his dual pistols. "Let's test their quality first!"
Bang!
A bullet was fired from his gun. Kuro was about to raise his sword to cut it when he found that the bullet landed directly on the ground in front of him, followed by a burst of bright light.
"flash?"
Kuro raised the back of his hand, surprised.
call!
Amidst the flashes of light, the wind howled.
A figure about five meters tall appeared here.
Kuro was startled and thrust his sword forward.
Bang!
The domineering Autumn Water pressed against Jozu, the tip of the blade wedged against Jozu's body, yet he stubbornly resisted the blade and charged straight towards them.
The immense force emanating from the blade propelled Kuro backward, so powerful that he crashed through a small hill behind him, his feet digging deep into the ground as he plowed backward at breakneck speed.
