Achoo!
Sazir, who was being beaten by Kro—no, being trained—sneezed, then let his guard down and was kicked in the cheek by Kro, sending him flying, spinning, and scraping the ground.
"Too lax!"
Kuro pushed up his glasses and said, "You're getting more and more useless, Kuro. How will you ever become a Marine if you keep going like this!"
I think someone like me could easily become a navy officer, at least much better than those captains and ensigns...
"Kuro, you're terrible, you need more training!" Kuro said.
Sazir opened his mouth, struggled to stand up, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes. Kro noticed this anger and showed a look of interest to him.
Should we resist?
That's great!
Sazir stretched his limbs and said slowly, "Mr. Crow, if you say that to me again, I will really get angry."
"Oh? So what if you're angry?" Kro asked, somewhat eager to try.
Sazier paused for a moment, then said, "You know, Mr. Crow, people's constitutions are not the same. When I'm angry..."
"Hmm?" Kro got into position, waiting for Sazir to attack.
"The anger will continue."
After saying this, Sazir stopped moving and just stood there, just like when 'training' usually ended.
"And then?" A question mark appeared on Kro's glasses.
"And then that was it..."
joke.
So what if he's angry?
He couldn't beat the guy in front of him. This four-eyed guy was not only very strong, but he also ate a Devil Fruit, and it was a Zoan-type, and I heard it was an ancient species comparable to a Mythical Zoan.
Even if you defeat him in his human form, there's his beast form, and after that, there's his beastman form.
Even if he's driven to anger and pushed to his limit, what can he do?
If you can't beat them, you just can't beat them.
He's now just waiting for the "old man" Kuro mentioned, Admiral Kizaru, to come over. That way, as a Marine who hasn't even completed the formalities yet, he can take this opportunity to go to headquarters for training and finally escape this miserable situation.
We'll deal with it gradually and take our revenge when the time comes.
He finally understood that all he was going to get was a beating. Fortunately, there weren't many people beating him up, only Mr. Kuro and Miss Lida, as well as Mr. Kuro who would occasionally decide to test his progress with the 'Nail Fist' technique.
Nail Fist Technique...
Just thinking about it made Sazir feel like he was about to have angina.
This is not how you bully someone.
On the beach not far away, Kuro seemed to sense something and glanced in Sazir's direction.
"Kuro, that Saziel, are you planning to train him?" Lida asked at this moment.
Lida has been training that kid for a while now, and sometimes she comes over to vent her frustrations—no, to give him a little training.
However, she never truly considered Sazir one of her own.
"After all, he's a Kuro, and quite talented. It's better for him to be a Marine than a pirate. Bringing someone who can stop pirates is better than letting a menace go out."
With some training, Sazir could easily become a colonel by normal standards.
Most importantly, he is also called Kuro, and having the same name can be useful in certain situations.
From now on, if he does anything wrong, he can just shift the blame and there won't be any problems.
What? My surname?
Mind your own business, I'm already being kind by giving you my name.
"What kind of wicked scheme are you plotting now?" Lida asked, noticing the gleam in Kuro's eyes.
"You're overthinking it. I, Kuro, never cheat people," Kuro said seriously.
"I would believe an ordinary person if they said that, but you saying it..."
Lida looked doubtful. "That's debatable."
Kuro smacked Lida on the head. "What's wrong with you? Why are you becoming less and less trusting of me? When have I ever tricked anyone? Some things I didn't want to do were just coincidences, you know? I'm a Marine, I'm very ashamed. If I really tried to trick someone, I'd let a Sea King swallow one of my arms!"
As he moved, the gold earrings on his earlobes shimmered and sparkled in the sunlight.
The light was so bright that Lida instinctively covered her eyes. "Ugh, Kuro, that's too bright. Don't wave it around."
"This thing?"
Kuro touched the earring; it had been changed once, but he didn't dare tell Lida.
The one I bought before was chosen by Lida, but this one was changed in Mary Geoise after the fight with Kaido.
It seems to be of higher quality than the ones I bought before, but it's also more dazzling.
boom...
As he touched his earring, the sea suddenly began to swirl, forming a huge whirlpool.
"Um?"
Kuro turned his head, his expression strange. "What's going on?"
“It’s the Grand Line, isn’t it normal for a whirlpool to appear on the surface of the sea?” Lida said.
"Whether you're genuinely stupid or pretending to be stupid, they're not the same thing," Kuro rolled his eyes.
The whirlpool gradually expanded, and a huge shadow slowly emerged from it, almost turning the sea in front of us into complete darkness.
"Hey, no way..."
Seemingly sensing something, Kuro paused for a moment and said strangely, "I was just joking, you actually came?"
Boom!!!
The whirlpool burst open, unleashing a massive tsunami that rose like a blot out the sun, scattering in all directions as a torrential downpour that fell across the entire island.
In the rain, two large, glowing light bulbs stood out, and then the thing was revealed in its entirety.
"Wow, wow, wow...it's so big!"
Lida's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as she stared in horror at the enormous creature before her.
It was a sea king, its mouth was as big as this island, and its eyes were as big as small islands.
Lanternfish!
An anglerfish bigger than an island!
"Kuro, you still say you don't cheat people? Even the gods heard it!" Lida pointed at Kuro and shouted.
"Stop talking nonsense, this thing..."
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Kuro's forehead as he gripped the hilt of Shusui with a backhand. "It's not that easy to deal with!"
Sea Kings!
It was a sea king large enough to swallow an island!
The threat level of this thing is not low at all. Kuro is not afraid, but the people on this island are.
These residents, his subordinates, are all on this island.
"ah!!!"
The lanternfish opened its mouth, but made no sound. However, the vibration of its vocal cords caused sound waves to reverberate, and the ocean current rushed into its mouth, causing the island to tremble.
“It wants to suck the whole island in!” Lida exclaimed.
"I know..."
Kuro gripped the hilt of the sword, and golden lightning crackled from his hand, filling the scabbard and his entire body.
"Slash Wave!"
One strike, an instantaneous cut.
A massive golden slash crackling with electricity shot out instantly, heading straight for the lanternfish. The slash struck the lanternfish's mouth directly, tearing open its flesh, and the highest level of domineering energy it carried shredded the surrounding flesh to shreds.
