Bang!
Bang bang bang!
One gold, one purple, swirling and pulsating in the rainy night.
The purple aura, accompanied by the light of the blood-red cloak, actually wanted to escape, but it was held back by the intertwined black and gold light, preventing it from leaving this rainy land.
Bang!
Redfield clashed with Kuro again, and with a surge of determination, he leaned forward, bracing himself against Kuro's slashing blade. The tip of his bat umbrella swept out purple Haki, aiming straight for Kuro's heart.
This navy man is one who yearns for safety. Although he is very strong, he is probably a bit weak-willed. If I attack him forcefully, he might back down. If I give way a little, I will have a chance to escape this annoying rain.
The slashing force of the rain can penetrate the body; his domineering aura cannot withstand it for long.
However, the scene he had anticipated did not occur. Kuro saw the bat umbrella coming at him, gritted his teeth, braced himself against the bat umbrella, gripped the Shusui tightly, and swung the sword down!
laugh!
The black blade cleaved through Redfield's gradually weakening Haki with a single strike, tearing a large gash in his chest. Redfield's bat umbrella then struck Kuro's heart, causing the covering Haki to ripple.
"cough!"
Both took a half step back. Kuro coughed, his eyes turning crimson. Ignoring the pain in his chest, he leaned back and pressed against Kuro, slashing with his sword.
Bang!
The bat-shaped umbrella rested on the black knife. Redfield's body trembled, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You brat!"
The recoil from the earlier stab had also diminished some of his domineering aura.
He actually pushed his way through!
Come on!
Kuro blurted out, "Didn't you want to fight me for real?"
He was beaten so badly that he became aggressive.
If a peaceful solution isn't possible, and you can't tolerate a pleasant but agonizing situation, then let's do it!
If you can't avoid it anyway, just kill the person, and that'll be a peaceful solution!
"You're too high and mighty, Redfield!"
Kuro slashed with his sword, leaving Redfield wide open. He clenched his other hand into a fist, his domineering aura becoming even more solid, and threw a punch.
"Me, being aloof?!"
Redfield twisted his foot to the left, narrowly avoiding the fist.
"That brat..."
His eyes narrowed. Besides his domineering skill in swordsmanship, his domineering skill in physical combat was also quite high. He couldn't block this punch anymore.
"What do you mean I'm so high and mighty?!"
He took a step back, about to retreat, but Kuro pounced on him like a mad dog, wildly wielding his black sword and slashing at him like a whirlwind.
"Of course I'm aloof!"
Kuro slashed with his sword, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "Looking down on this, looking down on that, what are you on the vast ocean! We are all just ordinary people, and under this sky, no one is necessarily more noble than anyone else!"
He had always held this view, so he considered himself to be lacking in strength and luck, and nothing special about himself.
Although he was born with a special advantage, there are many people on this vast ocean who show extraordinary abilities in their childhood.
Charlotte Linlin, at the age of five, was able to defeat a giant hero.
Doflamingo, the Heavenly Demon, awakened Conqueror's Haki in his childhood.
Including this old guy in front of me, Redfield, who has had strong Observation Haki since childhood, the kind that can see through people's hearts.
What's the difference?
There's no difference.
There's nothing to be proud of about that.
Embrace ugliness, you old man!
Kuro slashed Redfield's bat umbrella with one stroke, then slashed it diagonally with another.
Redfield's umbrella also hit Kuro's shoulder, slightly dispersing his overwhelming aura. However, the recoil quickly caused him to freeze for a moment.
laugh!!!
The black blade, gleaming with a faint golden light, slashed through Redfield's domineering aura, tearing a large gash in his chest from which blood spurted.
Redfield clutched his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He took two steps back, then suddenly dodged and, taking advantage of the distance he had retreated, charged straight toward the giant shield.
Once we get there, we can escape this annoying rain!
Whoosh!
At that moment, Kuro also flashed by, using the same stance and speed as Redfield, even faster than him. With several afterimages flashing in space, he appeared in front of Redfield.
laugh!
This strike pierced his chest once more, completely shattering his protective aura.
Redfield grunted and flew backward, crashing to the ground.
"You little brat...you copied my speed?" He looked up, incredulous.
"It's just a few usage techniques from other directions. What's so difficult about learning it? I'm a specialist in speed anyway."
Kuro clenched his five fingers, gathering the rainwater into a ball, which then landed on Redfield's face.
"Look at you! Old man, what's the difference between you and a drowning dog? And you still talk about being high-minded!"
He held Qiu Shui, pointed at Redfield, and shouted.
Redfield instinctively looked at the pool of water, which clearly reflected his body. He was tattered and covered in blood, which mingled with the mud on the ground, making him look filthy and far from his previous gentlemanly demeanor.
But the most important thing is his face, which is currently contorted in a grotesque manner. That twisted and pathetic look, where he can neither accept defeat nor win, is the root of the problem.
"He's from the older generation, at least he should see the world clearly!"
Kuro shouted, "Look around! There are marines, soldiers, and family forces here. Everyone is different. No one is born superior. Everyone is born, grows old, gets sick, and dies. Everyone is striving for their own goals. In any case, we are all just pursuing the same goal. Since we are all pursuing the same goal, we are no different!"
"Where do all these lofty ideals come from? They're all just people. What you perceive as ugliness is the reality of this world! Listen to them, really listen to what these people are saying!"
Redfield instinctively looked towards the back of the mountain that stretched across the middle of the battlefield, where soldiers were constantly retreating. His powerful Observation Haki allowed him to sense their thoughts.
"Ah... I can finally go back. My family is waiting for me. I'm so lucky I didn't die this time."
"The thought of fighting the Vinsmoke family really startled me; I even considered running away."
"The Navy is really amazing, they've stopped the Vinsmoke family. No, I can't give up either. One day, I'll be just like them."
"..."
A jumble of thoughts raced through Redfield's mind.
Some were timid, some were brave, some were indifferent, and some were prepared to bravely face death and die for their country. Their inner thoughts were varied and different.
Did you hear that?
Kuro interrupted his thoughts and said, "Actually, you don't need to listen. You can tell what they're thinking just by looking at their expressions. Each of them has their own goals and ideals. Their achievements may vary, but they never have ideals."
Embrace them, embrace what you perceive as 'ugly'! The world is perfect precisely because of these ugly imperfections!
Kuro stared straight at him and roared, "The ideal of being a cocky Pirate King and the ideal of being an ordinary citizen are the same thing!!"
"Ideals have no distinction of high or low, noble or base!"
