"Braised chicken wings are my favorite..."
Kuro hummed a strange tune as he watched the knife blade spin across the campfire, slowly cooking the meat.
Sea monster meat actually tastes pretty good even without seasoning when grilled, because the meat is of good quality.
"But it would taste even better with some seasoning. Damn it, I should have asked that little girl to give me some seasoning first."
Kuro sighed.
His cooking skills aren't exactly good, but he can definitely cook things properly.
When I was cultivating, I often roasted some small animals that didn't know their place and tried to attack me.
"That's about it."
Seeing the meat's skin turn golden brown, Kuro gripped the knife, ready to put the meat in his mouth.
Just then, his Observation Haki sensed a huge object rapidly falling from the sky above.
He looked up and saw a huge dark shadow.
Bang!!!
The dark figure landed directly in front of Kuro, the powerful shockwave sending him flying backward, a cloud of dust instantly spreading out.
Instantly, the blades floating around were blown away, rolling on the ground with the flesh inside, while the campfire was extinguished long ago.
"What the hell?!"
Kuro quickly stood up, his face pale as he looked towards the smoke and dust. Then, his pupils dilated, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"belch."
The enormous figure swayed as it stood up, let out a burp, and stared, its eyes blurry with drunkenness, at the largest lion's head in the distance.
"lion?"
He muttered something, his expression gradually turning angry. He clenched his right fist and threw a punch at the lion's head.
I hate lions!
boom!
With a single punch, the majestic lion's head made of steel was blasted to pieces, disintegrating into steel fragments that were blown far away.
"Rua!!!"
After throwing a punch, the figure roared at the sky, "How boring! Is there anyone who can kill me?!"
Its loudness and power caused another wave of air to rise and blow outwards.
The figure was extremely tall and robust, over eight meters high, with black hair flowing down his shoulders, a pair of long horns resembling those of a horned dragon on his head, and a beard that flowed like a dragon's whiskers.
His strong left arm was tattooed with dragon scales, his upper body was bare, there was an 'X' shaped scar on his lower right abdomen, a purple garment hung around his waist with two gold chains on either side of the hem, he wore wide trousers, and a white shimenawa was tied around his waist.
Kuro couldn't possibly not recognize such an iconic figure.
Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!
"WDNMD!"
Kuro's eyes widened as he roared, "What the hell are you doing here?!"
He's hiding on his own island, so why is Kaido showing up?!
If you're going to commit suicide, at least go somewhere else!
"Um?"
Seemingly having heard the voice, Kaido looked down, his eyes glazed over, and said, "Hiccup, who are you?"
He threw a punch as soon as he finished speaking.
Kuro was startled and quickly dodged.
Bang!
The ground was smashed into a huge crater by his punch, and some of the flying debris grazed Kuro's cheek.
The force that radiated outwards made Kuro's cheek sting.
"Oh? You dodged it?"
Kaido looked over, his body swaying as he got up, and threw another punch.
boom!
Kuro jumped back and saw that Kaido had smashed a crater, but his momentum hadn't diminished. His two arms, like pile drivers, kept punching Kuro.
With each punch, a large crater appeared in the ground.
The newly built island was now riddled with holes by him.
"Will this ever end?!"
Kuro dodged Kaido's punch with a leap, took a step in mid-air, and instantly appeared in front of Kaido's face. His eyes flashed, a wave of domineering aura swept out, and he slashed at Kaido's neck with his sword.
"Um?"
Kaido was taken aback, then swung his arm violently at Kuro, who was flying towards him. His massive arm swept across Kuro's blade, slamming Kuro's body into the ground as if swatting a fly.
Bang!
A cloud of dust rose up nearby.
However, after being hit, Kaido's figure swayed less. He raised his hand, looked at the small mark on his arm, and then turned his head to look at the smoke and dust.
The smoke and dust were blown away, revealing Kuro's standing figure. At this moment, his entire body was covered with Armament Haki, which resembled armor.
Kaido's gaze softened, becoming more fixed as he looked over, finally noticing the man's cloak and coat.
He tilted his head and asked in confusion, "The Navy?"
Kaido, a pirate from the New World and one of the four Emperors of the Sea, is known as the 'strongest creature' and 'invincible in one-on-one combat,' but his actual battle record is quite weak. Kuro isn't afraid of him at all...
Yeah, right!
This aura, this intensity, and that force just now...
This thing is a genuine monster, truly invincible in one-on-one combat!
The New World is teeming with powerful individuals. Just by recruiting soldiers from one world, you can find two monsters who could become generals out of nowhere. Kuro doesn't think there are that many monsters in this world.
A Devil Fruit ability that seems to have a bug-like overpowered nature, formidable physical skills, and precise Armament Haki shooting...
These are all things Kuro doesn't want to touch.
But if I had to pick the one I least want to encounter...
It wasn't Whitebeard; the Whitebeard who was nearing his death was much gentler than he was in his youth.
It's not Shanks either. He had his arm bitten off by the Lord of the Coast in the East Blue and could only beg for mercy to escape with his life. There's nothing to be afraid of in someone who only cares about saving face. Anyway, he's a mild-mannered person. If we meet, we probably won't fight.
