Thump!
Just then, a giant man whose body was gleaming rushed over, smashed the two short broadswords that were flying around, and charged towards Kuro.
Jozu!
"Oh dear, sorry, Kuro."
Aokiji, who was not far away, turned around and said that he was now surrounded by several captains and crew members and was being entangled.
"You better get serious, you bastard!"
Kuro cursed irritably, looking at Jozu who was hurtling towards him at high speed, and said, "Lida."
"Leave it to me!"
Lida then grabbed Kuro's back, shouting, "Absorb your essence!"
A large amount of vital energy flowed from Kuro into Lida's body, and she stretched out her other hand, aiming at Jozu who was about to crash into her.
With Kuro's stamina, he naturally wasn't afraid of Rita's absorption; he could use that impact move to knock Jozu away.
"Energy surges..."
"Stop!!!"
However, just as Lida was about to release her power, a sudden shout from the square interrupted her actions, and she was clearly jolted.
That voice carried an overwhelming and powerful aura, slowing people's minds and making time seem to stand still.
After the moment of stagnation, both the navy and the pirates collapsed in that instant, including the two soldiers on the execution platform who were about to execute Ace.
Sengoku stared intently at Luffy running across the plaza. "That's..."
Just as he ordered Ace's execution, this grandson of Garp unleashed an incredible aura.
"Oh~ how scary."
Kizaru looked surprised and glanced in that direction.
"Hey, really?" Aokiji broke out in a cold sweat.
Conqueror's Haki!
That's Conqueror's Haki!
Bang!
Before Lida could recover from the overwhelming Haki, she felt a tremendous impact. Jozu reacted faster and shoved Lida aside.
"puff!"
Lida coughed up a mouthful of blood, was thrown back by the impact, and crashed to the ground.
That collision, imbued with domineering power, combined with Jozu's own immense strength, was not going to be pleasant.
"Lida!"
Kuro's pupils contracted, and he looked back.
"We succeeded!"
Jozu was right in front of Kuro when he saw him turn his head. He seized the opportunity, raised his diamond-encased fist backward, and with a domineering air, punched Kuro in the head.
This man is exceptionally difficult to deal with; if we don't deal with his abilities now, things will get even more complicated later.
Bang!!
The punch landed squarely on Kuro's face, the immense force creating a shockwave that sent dust billowing around it.
Kuro's hand slipped from Shusui's grasp, and his entire body was thrown backward by the punch, his feet carving two furrows in the ground as he retreated more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop.
His upper body was leaning back, but his feet were firmly planted on the ground, standing straight, showing no sign of falling.
"Kuro!!"
Lida, who had just recovered a little, hadn't even straightened up when she saw this scene and screamed in surprise.
"You guys!"
Lida's pupils contracted, and her white hair fluttered behind her head without any wind.
Suddenly, the frozen body moved, and one hand waved towards Lida.
Kuro slowly straightened up, his right hand covering his face, the edge of his fingers revealing the Armament Haki on his face, yet even so, blood still flowed from under his palm.
He lowered his head, his face covered by his hands, making it impossible to see his expression, but one could vaguely see that his body was trembling.
bass!
Like a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath, a pair of constricted pupils appeared between the fingers, their eyes filled with extreme anger.
"This is really making me laugh out loud..."
A deep voice came from Kuro's mouth. He released his grip, revealing a grim face with blood streaming from his nose and mouth.
Kuro stared intently at Jozu and Izo, his pupils beginning to turn crimson. He slowly uttered through clenched teeth, "Well done, very well done! You two, and that Conqueror's Haki guy too!"
