"Line up!"
"The navy is coming!"
"All of you, obey the Navy's orders and stand still!"
During the arrest operation, the most enthusiastic participants were not Kuro and his navy, but those weak martial artists, each of them acting as if they had defeated one of the Four Emperors, smug and arrogant.
All Kuro did was unleash his killing intent, making people afraid to resist.
Those weak martial artists are incredibly accurate in identifying those stronger than themselves, so much so that Kuro doesn't even need to make a blind selection based on idealism.
Pirates are easy to talk about; real pirates are all quite principled and won't give up the identity they're proud of. As for things they could give up at any time...
On the contrary, some martial artists, whose physiques were not so strong but whose strength was quite good, were not worth Kuro's time to search for one by one. Instead, he simply pulled out these weak people.
Karl, yes, that skinny martial artist who looks like he could be blown away by a gust of wind, is also named Karl.
He shares the same name as the 'famous martial artist' who was kicked unconscious by Kuro earlier.
His hair was disheveled, and he looked completely disheveled; he had even lost a shoe while running, but he was only focused on grabbing someone's wrist and shouting:
"Gotcha! Gotcha! I got him!"
"You beast, what have you caught!"
The man who had been grabbed raised his other hand and slapped Karl hard across the face, causing him to spin and fall to the ground, where he remained for a long time.
Those around couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
Although the man had mustered the courage to strike once, he dared not strike a second time, because he was now surrounded by some navy personnel with gleaming spears pointed at him, and he had no other thoughts.
After a long while, Karl finally came to his senses, hopping mad as he pointed at the man and said:
"Finks! I knew you'd come! Marines, this man is the strongest martial artist on our island. He once single-handedly killed a huge sea monster. We can't let him get away!"
"Karl, you!"
The man named Finks listened to Karl's shouting and his face turned extremely ugly, but surrounded by muskets, he dared not make a move.
Karl said smugly, "You bullied me when the navy wasn't here, but now that the navy is here, you still dare to bully me? Then what the hell did the navy do to waste their time?"
As martial artists in the town, Karl and Phinks are two extremes. Phinks is powerful, gentle, and has a strong sense of justice. He is regarded as a guardian by the people in the town and is especially popular with girls!
Carl, on the other hand, was weak, cunning, and a conman, and was disliked by the townspeople. Most importantly, no girl liked him at all!
What? The weak are always innocent?
Stop joking!
From the moment Kuro saw this thin man, he knew he was a scoundrel.
Not a bad person, just lacking power.
He's not a good person because he lacks moral character.
They're just those rotten people who have bad ideas but lack the ability to carry them out, so they're just despised by others.
These kinds of people are usually mostly hoodlums on various islands.
However, there's nothing wrong with it.
If rotten people participate in a martial arts tournament, then the tournament itself will be rotten.
After all, can a martial arts tournament that gathers pirates and gangsters be considered a legitimate event?
"Line up and go." Kuro waved his hand.
This time, he didn't need to take action. Having grasped the essence of Kuro's methods, Kuro acted decisively and efficiently.
Moreover, a group of frail martial artists assisted from the side, making this division much faster than the previous street.
After driving away these people and clearing out the pirate crew that had attacked the town, Kuro continued on his way.
This time, the remaining weak martial artists were even more numerous. They joined the previous wave, claiming to help the Navy maintain order, and marched off with the Navy in a grand procession.
The same applies to the third street.
But after clearing the third street, when they reached the fourth street, the number of people had decreased significantly.
"Something's not right. Did they get some information?"
Kuro stroked his chin, looking at the sparsely populated queue, and fell into deep thought. "The number of people has become too small."
“Mr. Kuro, we have already driven away many people.”
Kro glanced at the weak group of martial artists who had gathered for over two thousand years, and estimated in his mind that at least four or five thousand people had been driven away over the three streets.
This efficiency was made possible by the assistance of these 'Naval Allied Forces'. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible. These people might not be good at fighting, but they were very good at causing trouble.
Under the identification of these "naval allies," anyone slightly stronger than them was forcibly identified and driven away.
Of those who are eligible to participate, how many are left?
In addition, not every street is close to the port and is relatively prosperous; there are always some ordinary streets, so it is normal that there are not many people.
The main problem was that if things continued like this, even Kuro himself was getting scared, so he quickly tried to persuade Kuro.
“Mr. Kuro, we’ve almost achieved our goal.”
Kro then offered some advice.
"It's not enough. I'm not confident yet. What if the Insect Kingdom swallows its anger and doesn't complain about me?"
Kuro said with concern.
Although he drove away many people, at most the martial arts tournament lacked a bit of entertainment value; there were still strong fighters.
Moreover, the town has a considerable population. If there's money to be made, the Insect Kingdom might not file a complaint against him and swallow their anger.
After all, he has a good reputation, and the Insect Kingdom is at war. If they don't have time to take care of him, then all his efforts will have been in vain.
At most, there's a 50% chance, which is far from enough.
Kuro is a very steady man; I wouldn't say 100%, but he's 99% sure he'll agree.
