Sazir was left behind, and he couldn't run away because Kro watched him around the clock. At night when he went to sleep, they would tie him up, and he could only be released during the day.
After releasing him, they claimed it was to train him, and then proceeded to beat him mercilessly.
"Tell me your name!"
Kro punched Sazir, sending him flying.
“Sazil Kuro…”
"Don't tell me your surname, just your first name! What's your name?"
“Kuro…”
"The voice is too soft, I can't hear it. You think you can be a navy officer and drive a warship if you speak so softly?"
"My name is Kuro!!"
"Great, very energetic!"
Then he was beaten even worse.
Sometimes, the woman who could change size at will would also get involved. Sazir thought the woman would show mercy, but in fact, he couldn't even withstand a single move.
The moment that woman touched him, he went limp and had no strength left.
"Hahaha, Kuro, you'll get your fill of my juices one day!"
Then, the woman put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly, looking smug.
Then, he was still beaten black and blue.
Sazir finally understood: these people never intended to train him to be a naval officer; they just wanted an excuse to beat him up more.
This, on the contrary, aroused his rebellious mentality.
He's not running anymore!
"So what if it's the Navy? Fine, I'll join! Not only will I join, I'll become a Navy Admiral! I will definitely take my revenge on you!"
Sazir thought with resentment.
He's made up his mind: he's quitting being a pirate!
Anyway, the purpose of going to sea is to make a name for oneself. There is no difference between being a pirate and being a navy officer. In this increasingly chaotic era, the navy also needs fresh blood.
In that case, he would use these people's identities to exact revenge on them!
He will remember the beatings and humiliations he suffered during this period, turning them into nourishment, constantly absorbing their characteristics, and ultimately trampling them underfoot.
Especially the culprit.
He finally understood why Lida and Kuro were so keen on beating him up: it was because of Lucilfer Kuro. Based on his performance in the Marineford War, that man was clearly not someone an ordinary person could handle.
So they take their anger out on themselves, who share the same name, Kuro.
That man...
He's so strong, yet he's only a lieutenant colonel. He must have a purpose for infiltrating the naval organization.
The evidence is that Kuro used to be a pirate, and that woman named Lida doesn't seem to be a Marine either.
He himself was a pirate, and to gather so many people under his command, who would believe he had no ulterior motives?
What I need to do is find out his purpose and ambition, use that as leverage, and then strike hard at the crucial moment.
"Just you wait! You're Kuro, and I'm Kuro too. Why should you, a mere Kuro, be able to do whatever you want? I'll get my revenge, Kuro!"
Sazir whispered.
"Huh? You called me?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.
Sazir shuddered and turned around to see Kuro.
He flashed a fawning smile, shrugged his shoulders, and rubbed his hands together.
"Yes, I was just marveling at how you and I share the same name. I'm truly honored to share a name with such a powerful person as you. I will definitely learn a lot from you!"
"Forehead..."
Kuro stared at him blankly. Wasn't this guy all refusing to submit even a couple of days ago? How come he's changed now?
He took out a cigar, put it in his mouth, and was about to take out a lighter to light it when Sazir quickly took out a match, lit it in a flash, and held it to Kuro's lips.
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
Kuro lit a cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "You're going to join the Navy?"
Sazier's expression turned serious. "Yes, I've received some lessons from Mr. Kuro these past few days. He believes that being a pirate is a dead end, and joining the Navy is the only right path."
What the hell is this?
Are you addicted to being tortured?
"Then good luck."
Kuro waved his hand, about to leave.
Sazier breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he hadn't been caught complaining.
“Mr. Kuro, I hope you will be generous with your guidance,” Sazir said to Kuro.
These words made Kuro, who was about to leave, stop in his tracks.
"Speaking of which..."
He turned to Sazir and said, “I do have something I need your guidance on. I’m currently practicing the ‘Nail Fist’ technique, but I don’t know how well I’m progressing. After all, I learned it from you, so let’s have a friendly spar and see what areas I need to improve.”
Sazir: "..."
I politely asked, "Why?"
Am I asking for a beating?!
"Don't worry, I won't hit you."
Kuro laughed and said, "I'm not that idiot Kuro. I'm just testing you out. You can deal with me, I won't fight back."
Not fight back?
Sazir's eyes widened, a hint of joy in them. "Yes! I'd love to have a close conversation with Mr. Kuro!"
Finally, finally I have a chance to get revenge!
Kuro stood there, and starting from his forehead, the jet-black Armament Haki spread all over his body, covering him like armor. He said in a deep voice, "Use your full power, Saziel."
Sazir's lips twitched, but the slight joy that had just appeared immediately vanished.
He certainly knew about Armament Haki, but he didn't seem to have reached the level of unleashing Haki yet. Unleashing Haki was his next goal.
He hadn't even scratched the surface of Kuro's Haki, while the Kuro before him was already completely covered in Armament Haki.
This is a monster!
Sazir swallowed hard, and asked uncertainly, "Really... you're not going to hit me?"
"No, hurry up, stop dawdling."
"Alright then..."
Sazir cautiously approached Kuro and punched him squarely in the chest.
No response.
Kuro frowned: "Use a little more force."
"I see!"
Sazir regained his joy. Was this man trying to test the defensive capabilities of his Haki? Although he couldn't hurt him, if the man didn't fight back, he could vent his anger to his heart's content.
"Nail Fist Technique - Straight Down Nail!"
Sazir's fist generated a shockwave, concentrating his power into his fist, and he punched Kuro hard in the chest.
"Die, Lucilfer Kuro!"
However, as soon as he uttered a sound, his whole body stiffened, and it was as if he had been hit repeatedly, making thuds. He was sent flying and fell several meters away.
"you..."
He struggled to lift his head, gritting his teeth as he said, "Didn't we agree... not to fight back?"
"He didn't fight back; it was just a powerful, proactive defense."
Kuro said something, then stroked his chin, lost in thought.
"Indeed, the techniques of the Nail Fist can also be applied to Haki. It is a concentrated technique, and by attaching Haki to this fist technique, you can make Haki as hard as a nail."
Kuro smiled and said, "In that case, once I've trained for a while, I'm confident I can make my Haki so powerful that it can cause damage without actually attacking."
