These three people are very familiar to me.
While in prison, Buck Arlo would think of them from time to time.
If it weren't for them, I should have returned to 'Paradise' long ago and lived a carefree life.
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced down at the man in prison clothes, and asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"
"Looks familiar..."
After licking her fingers, Lida wiped them on Kuro's clothes.
Kuro pushed up his glasses with his palm and said, "Mr. Kuro, this person... Buck Arlo, is the pirate we met in the East Blue, who was discovered by Admiral Kizaru and surrendered on his own."
"Buck... Arlo?"
Kuro thought for a moment, then his gaze suddenly sharpened, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes. He said hatefully, "It was you! You're the one who got me promoted?!"
He remembered—it was this damn person who forced him to participate in this dangerous war!
"Oh no, I've turned into..."
Just as Buck Arlo was about to transform, Lida suddenly reached out and pressed down on him.
Instantly, his body went limp, and he became completely powerless.
"Ah, I remember now, that guy who can transform into rare animals."
Lida held him down and said, "You're really lucky. You were hit by Kuro's bone-crushing slash and you're still unharmed. How did you do that?"
Kuro drew Shusui, his Haki wrapping around the blade as he unleashed a powerful attack. "Let's see if you can revive again this time!"
"Wait, wait a minute..."
As Buck Arlo approached with a knife in his hand, he said haltingly, "I have information, I..."
laugh!
His head was chopped off by Kuro's blade, and then he swung his blade up, slashing everywhere and blowing the head into dust.
Because it happened so fast, his neck hasn't bled yet.
laugh!
Just as blood gushed from the severed neck, Kuro struck again, splitting the body vertically in two. At the same time, he unleashed two more slashes, turning the body to ashes.
"Wow, that's so cruel."
Lida withdrew her hand, her body shrinking as she curiously looked at where Buck Arlo had been standing. "Hey, could he come back to life?"
Kuro stared at the empty space where only a faint humanoid mark remained, and said, "Last time, he was chopped to pieces but still managed to escape, which means his ability has a Stand-like effect, but his original body should still be around. Although this time his head was cut off first, so he definitely won't revive, but in the past, what if..."
Hiss...
A golden spark flashed from Qiu Shui's blade.
"You two, stay away from each other," Kuro said.
Without him saying anything more, Lida had already run far away when she saw that flash of lightning again.
"That's domineering..."
Kro swallowed hard. "Can domineering aura achieve this level?"
"The highest level of Armament Haki is called 'Ryuo' in Wano Country of the New World. It is said to be able to destroy objects from the inside."
Lida thought for a moment and said, "Back in the East Blue, Kuro used this move to shred the islands, but he couldn't materialize it back then... He really is a monster; now he can even break through to the level of materialization that can be seen with the naked eye."
"Who told you that?"
Kuro glanced at Lida and said, "Don't always just parrot what others say. The 'Ryuo' in Wano Country is just the local name for Armament Haki. It's just that their country is so skilled in Armament Haki that this name replaced the name for Haki for a while. Just like the 'Kokoro' in Skypiea, it's the local name for Observation Haki. They are very good at using Observation Haki."
Hardening, entangling, releasing, and internal destruction—as the mastery of Armament Haki increases, its application also becomes more sophisticated.
These can all be used together, and when fully integrated, they will become the highest level of manifestation, like Kaido's full-body Haki and the one currently wrapped around Kuro's blade.
However, this is also a heavy burden for Kuro.
But just in case...
"One-Sword Style: Rock Slide!"
The blade swung down, striking the humanoid mark.
Boom!!!
The ground split apart under this cut, turning into fine stone dust that floated in the air.
Before them lay a massive abyss, tens of meters long and more than ten meters wide.
The shockwave it sent rippled out, causing Lida's white hair to flutter wildly.
"Ugh, my hairstyle! That darn Kuro!"
Lida exclaimed in surprise.
The dust formed by the stone powder was sliced open by Kuro's sword and blown far away.
He sheathed his knife, looked at the enormous chasm before him, and exhaled a puff of smoke from his cigar. "If you can still come back to life, then I'll accept it!"
This cut pierced through the island and reached the seabed.
If he could be resurrected, he would truly accept it, and then when they met again, he would shrink him into the sea and put him in the sky as a specimen.
"What are you doing, Kuro?"
Suddenly, Akainu's voice rang out from ahead.
He happened to be standing at the end of that enormous abyss, looking at Kuro with a somewhat serious expression.
"Ah... Admiral Sakazuki, I just ran into a pirate, and he used a bit too much force."
Kuro sheathed his sword and said to Akainu.
"Pirates?"
Akainu glanced at the abyss that stretched as far as the eye could see, somewhat taken aback. "This is Marineford. It's been destroyed to this extent. It won't be easy to repair."
As he spoke, Akainu crouched down, his palm reaching into the abyss, spewing out a large amount of magma that gushed into the abyss.
Instantly, a large amount of hot air rose from the ground.
