Kro looked at the fruit in his hand, the light reflecting off his glasses.
This is a great thing to enhance strength, especially on a battlefield where a moment's carelessness can lead to death. If you eat the fruit, your chances of survival will be much higher.
"Do you want some, Chloe?" Lida asked, noticing Chloe's hesitation.
"No..."
Kro shook his head: "It's impossible to determine what ability it is right now. If it doesn't suit me, consuming it will only weaken me."
Although there is the precedent of Mr. Clow, who obtained the Float-Float Fruit after defeating Shiki, it is Whitebeard who is now dying on the battlefield.
But this isn't the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, because he saw the illustrations in Mayor Mendel's encyclopedia last time, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit doesn't look like this.
So we don't know where this fruit came from.
His strengths lie in speed and physical skills; if this fruit cannot provide him with any advantage, then it is of no use.
This shape looks like a Paramecia type, but what Kuro actually wants is a Zoan type, which would further enhance his physique.
Just as Kro was about to put the fruit away, Cass walked over and said seriously, "If Mr. Kro isn't going to eat it, please give it to me!"
"You?" Kro was taken aback.
"That's right!"
Flames seemed to flicker in Cass's eyes.
"I followed in Mr. Kuro's footsteps, but, but..."
Kas looked at Kuro, who was locked in combat with Blackbeard in the air, and tears welled up in his tiger eyes. "I'm too weak, we're all too weak, we can't help Mr. Kuro at all. If we want to become Mr. Kuro's strongest shield, then we must obtain additional power!"
"Hey, are you serious?"
Kuro said, "The abilities of Devil Fruits are strange. Even the encyclopedia doesn't record them all. What if the fruit's ability doesn't suit you? Then you'll become weaker."
"It doesn't matter!"
Cass made up his mind and said:
"Mr. Kuro wouldn't even consider this fruit, but for someone as weak as me, whatever its power, it's a boost. I want to help Mr. Kuro as quickly as possible, even if it's just a tiny bit more power! Is that alright, Mr. Kuro, Miss Lida?"
"Sure."
Lida nodded: "Since no one else is going to eat it, you can eat it."
"Since you insist..."
Kro handed him the fruit, saying, "Then you can eat it."
"grateful!"
Cass solemnly accepted it, then looked at Kuro and murmured, "Mr. Kuro, in order to become your strongest shield, I will overcome any demon, no matter what kind!"
He put the fruit to his mouth, took a deep breath, and shouted, "A mere demon cannot affect my determination to follow Mr. Kuro. No matter what power it is, I will help Mr. Kuro!"
Then, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the pineapple-shaped red fruit in one gulp.
As the fruit was eaten, Lida and Kuro watched him expectantly. Kass lowered his head, his expression unreadable. After a pause, he raised his head, his expression solemn, as if he were worshipping a god, looking at Kuro in the distance.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Kuro, this is the greatest power you have ever given me!"
Amidst Lida and Crow's curiosity, he turned to his colleagues and roared, "Comrades, it's time to fight! Charge with me!"
However, at this moment, some of the navy personnel looked at each other and began to retreat slightly.
This battlefield terrified them.
“Mr. Cass… my injuries are quite severe, perhaps I should rest for a while,” a navy officer suggested.
“Yes, Mr. Cass, I’m also starting to feel the strain.” A navy officer clutched his chest, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He had been charging ahead alongside Cass, so his injuries were naturally quite severe.
"you..."
Cass glanced at them and said in a deep voice, “Colleagues, I understand. We are just the weakest of the weak. Our firepower is not strong enough, our physique is not strong enough, and our vitality is not as vigorous as that of the strong. We cannot move freely on this battlefield. But we are still alive. Can anyone tell me why?”
"Why?"
Lida was curious about this and couldn't help but ask.
They were clearly weak when separated, but when put together, they were surprisingly strong.
Can the power of will reach this level?
Even Kuro's killing intent isn't this strong...
But it seems that things are not going to work out now. Does Cass's will also come to an end?
Cass's words caused the navy men to exchange glances, but few dared to speak.
“Answer me!” Cass roared.
"Um... because we uphold 'unyielding justice'?" A navy officer timidly raised his hand.
"Mr. Cass's leadership?"
“I don’t know, but I firmly believe that Mr. Cass will lead us on. By following Mr. Cass, we can catch up with Mr. Kuro.” The one who said this was a very young Marine, about the same age as Koby.
"wrong!!!"
Cass said, "This isn't your true thought. You're just blindly following me, being led astray by Mr. Kuro. That's wrong! That's why you're injured, that's why you're afraid..."
Everyone fell silent, lowered their heads, and dared not speak.
"Look! Look at our most revered, no, my most revered Mr. Kuro!"
Cass pointed to Kuro fighting Blackbeard in the air behind him, "He's all alone, facing that despicable former Shichibukai who released the prisoners from Impel Down, and he's still fighting tenaciously. You might say that Mr. Kuro is so strong, of course he can move freely, while you can only rest if you're injured, otherwise you'll die."
