"roar!"
The gorilla let out a low growl, its body swaying as it lunged forward, its claws striking downwards.
Kuro frowned, dodged, and slashed again, the lightning-crackling blade cleaving the Guardian Ape's chest in two, creating a large cross.
Bang!
The gibbon collapsed again, blood flowing continuously from its chest, staining its golden fur crimson.
Its chest heaved as its body gradually shrank, transforming into a ten-meter-tall gorilla.
Then, it scrambled to its feet, but this time it didn't attack Kuro. Instead, it prepared to leap forward to deal with the people behind it.
laugh!
Kuro made another cut, slicing diagonally across the Guardian Ape's chest, adding another diagonal line to the cross-shaped wound.
The guardian ape collapsed.
The gorilla stood up again.
As soon as it took a step, Kuro slashed it down again, this time carving a cross shape on its chest.
This time, it lay there for a while, then shakily propped itself up, like a wild beast with a strong will to survive, and the people in front of it were its food.
"Hey, stop joking. You're just a beast. Even if you've awakened a Zoan-type, you can't just cheat like this."
He unleashed four strikes. Impel Down has plenty of Zoan-type awakenings like this. Even if they fail, they're still awakened in terms of physique. No matter how much Kuro thinks highly of them, the fact is that he used Armament Haki in one strike, something Impel Down couldn't withstand.
"roar..."
The gibbon's eyes were somewhat blurry. It roared again, took a step forward, and turned its gaze toward the terrified crowd, hurrying toward them.
laugh!
With another slash, the Guardian Ape's massive body fell to the ground. Kuro held the sword, the smoke from his cigar swirling around his face.
"Why do you harbor such resentment, Goro?" he said softly.
These words stunned the gorilla, which was about to get up again. It stood there for a moment, and its eyes, which had been somewhat dazed from being slashed, regained their senses.
It crouched low, no longer standing, and roared at Kuro, "Human!!"
"It can talk..."
Kuro raised an eyebrow and said, "It's good that you can talk. As a human, it's not good for you to keep looking like a beast. Even if you feel wronged, you can settle scores and grievances. Go find Old K, of course, but only after I leave. Otherwise, as a Marine, I will take care of things."
"Humanity is my enemy. You all deserve to die, everyone deserves to die!"
The Guardian Ape's eyes were bloodshot. "Killing all humans is my lifelong wish. No matter who they are, as long as they are human, they all deserve to die!"
After saying this, it undulated its limbs, swung one claw forward, kicking up a cloud of dust as it lunged at Kuro, and at the same time, it dodged to the side, about to run towards the civilians behind it.
call!
The swirling dust and rubble were swept away by Kuro's slash, which then struck the Guardian Ape again with flashing golden lightning.
"If you won't listen when I speak human language, then I won't speak human language at all."
With another slash, the Guardian Ape fell to the ground.
Kuro took two steps forward, and with the hem of his sword flowing down, he plunged the blade into the forehead of the Guardian Ape, the blade sinking deep into its socket.
The gorilla trembled for a moment, then gradually stopped moving.
"I've already said, settle scores and avenge each other, why bother?"
Kuro drew his Shusui sword, flicked it, and said, "No matter what grudges you have, we are on different sides. I cannot watch you slaughter civilians, and you probably won't listen to me either."
Such things happen all the time on the high seas. No matter what grievances or injustices a person may have, the unequal positions will eventually lead to a clash of swords, and the victor will be justice.
"I can't die..."
Just as Kuro was about to sheath his sword, he suddenly heard a murmur and his eyes widened as he looked at the Guardian Ape.
Despite having his skull pierced by a single blow, the Guardian Ape stared intently at Clow Reed with his eyes wide open, declaring, "I...cannot die!"
boom!
It created a gust of air that bypassed Kuro and rushed towards the civilians.
laugh!
However, the body that had just reached behind Kuro once again emitted a black and gold blade of light, slashing it down with a single blow.
This cut was made at the back of the neck, reaching the spine.
The gorilla trembled on the ground for a while, then stretched out its claws and crawled forward step by step.
"I...cannot die."
"Hey, you're kidding, right?"
This shocked Kuro.
He watched the guardian ape crawling forward, ignoring the fact that his cigar had burned to the end, muttering, "Willpower..."
It's not about the degree of recovery from the awakening of the Zoan type; this degree is entirely a manifestation of willpower.
It wasn't that its body could withstand so much damage, but rather that it stubbornly endured it with its powerful willpower.
The gibbon's eyes were vacant; its crawling forward was more out of instinct. Its eyes were blank, as if it were recalling something, and this memory was the driving force behind its progress.
...
"No, don't eat me, monster! Don't eat me! Look how skinny I am, I don't taste good at all!"
"Humans...humans...are so...curious..."
"A talking lion? That's weird, a monster!"
On the grassland, a magnificent lion meets a down-on-his-luck kabuki actor.
...
"What? A Devil Fruit? I know, it's a legendary thing that can give life miraculous power. You're a lion, but when you transform you look like an ape. Is it an ape fruit? No, it's more like an ape-man."
