"idiot..."
Ma Xi pursed his lips, not daring to say anything more, and could only stand up straight.
Thinking about it, it seems he was only temporary, and Major General Kuro was the real newly appointed base commander, so it really had nothing to do with him.
After he hands over the reins, he will go to headquarters and leave this place of trouble.
"I said, why are there so few people? Where are the other navy personnel?"
Kuro glanced at the navy behind them. Most of them were Wilbur's, while the garrison navy that Marcy led only had a few dozen men.
Why is the Sabaody Archipelago, which is under the jurisdiction of Mary Geoise, so poorly defended?
"Reporting to Major General Kuro, it's not that we didn't want to bring more men, but most of them are recovering from injuries..."
Masi saluted and said, "Just a few days ago, we tried to attack the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, but we were stopped."
"Huh? A straw hat?"
Kuro was taken aback. "Their ship is still here."
"Yes, the Straw Hat Pirates have disappeared, but their ship is still there. We discovered it a long time ago, but the people guarding it... prevented us from seizing the ship."
Massi said with difficulty, "The people there are...Bartholomew Bear."
"Bear?"
Kuro frowned slightly. "Wasn't that guy modified to be unconscious? What happened?"
“Um, I’m not sure about that, but Xiong definitely won’t let us get close to that pirate ship. We’ve tried to storm it many times, but each time it has failed,” Masi said.
"take me."
Kuro stroked his chin. "I want to see if this bastard is really unconscious. I still remember the grudge from when he sent me to the New World."
If he had been a little more accurate in his predictions, none of this would have happened. He wouldn't have met Whitebeard earlier, and without meeting Whitebeard, he wouldn't have revealed the secret of how he killed Shiki.
He would never run into Kaido. That muscle-bound idiot is definitely still thinking about him, otherwise he wouldn't be so apprehensive even if he went to the New World.
I'm not afraid, but it's annoying!
If you clash with yourself, you're doomed.
And that 'Shanghai Pirate King'.
If it weren't for his Conqueror's Haki attack during the Marineford War, I probably wouldn't have caused so much trouble. I could have just coasted along and then nobody would even know who he was.
Now he's a major general!
Major General!
He didn't even need to think; he knew he would definitely become a candidate for general.
Are you kidding me!
"You want to go out to sea? I'd like to see how you go without a boat!"
Kuro hardened his heart and ordered Masi to lead the way to their destination.
As for the auction house ruins... who the hell cares? Let them go wherever they want.
Life would be better without this thing.
...
A group of people headed to the small island where the Straw Hat Pirates' ship was located. Just from a distance, Kuro saw a tall figure sitting cross-legged on the land next to the ship.
The man was tattered and battered, his clothes bearing marks of cutting and blows, revealing his mechanical body.
His gloves and shoes were long gone; he sat there cross-legged, clutching a book, not moving an inch.
"This is the best we can do."
Massi walked to a certain distance and said, "If we take one more step forward, the bear will attack."
"It really is..."
Lida was taken aback. "A book? Is it the bear's true form?"
"Um..."
Kuro, with a cigar in his mouth, looked at Bartholomew Kuma, who seemed unresponsive, sitting cross-legged without moving.
"Hey, Kuma, are you still conscious?" Kuro called out to him.
The other party still didn't react.
"Bear? Bear? Do you remember what happened between us? You slapped me away with one blow last year in Chambord, do you know that?"
No response.
"Bear, why would you choose to be a pirate instead of a perfectly good king? Are you just bored?"
without.
"Well... it seems like this is the last instinct."
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced at the bear's ungloved hands, and took a step forward. "Big Bear, I'm coming in."
The moment his foot stepped into the area that Masi had just mentioned, the bear's body suddenly vanished, instantly appearing in front of Kuro and slapping him with its paw-like hand.
Bang!!!
A black knife blocked his palm with a loud bang.
"They actually did it!"
Kuro gritted his teeth, swung Autumn Water forward to swat away the bear's paw, and then slashed vertically with his sword.
Whoosh!
Kuro's slash was fast, but the moment the slash came down, the bear's body disappeared. A shockwave rippled out from the ground, and the body was far away from his blade.
"Unfortunately, I've just learned a speed technique for close-quarters combat. Even though you're unconscious, come and experience it."
In the blink of an eye as the bear dodged, Kuro's figure also disappeared, and several figures flashed on the ground like phantoms before appearing behind the bear.
"Moonlight!"
The blade, like a black light, transformed into a straight line and slashed directly at the bear.
Pfft!
A gash was cut into the bear's arm, making the mechanical body beneath the skin even more visible.
"Tsk, is it blocked?"
Kuro twirled his sword and clicked his tongue.
The knife was clearly aimed at the bear's nape, but the bear instinctively dodged it and used its paws to block part of the damage.
After blocking the attack, Kuma immediately counterattacked, unleashing a ball of energy from the fleshy ball in his palm, which shot straight at Kuro.
Just as Kuro was about to strike, he saw the bear's body spring away, teleporting behind him, the ball of energy almost reaching the back of his head.
"Slashing Waves - Chaotic Dance!"
Kuro sheathed his sword with a backhand motion, and a golden slash rippled outwards from his body, scattering in all directions.
Bang!!
One slash neutralized the bear's energy cloud, while other randomly launched slashes struck his body, sending him flying backward and crashing into a giant tree, creating a large crater.
"He didn't realize his combat instincts were so strong..."
Kuro looked at the body that was crackling with electricity and bleeding from its injuries, and clicked his tongue: "Damn it."
The bear crackled with electricity for a moment, then pushed aside the wood chips around it, stood up, and stared at Kuro.
He put the book away, stretched out his hands, and a huge ball of air expanded between his hands, then quickly shrank to the shape of a needle tip.
Bang!
With a push of his hands, the needle-sized ball of air shot out rapidly.
Kuro's pupils contracted, and his body instinctively flashed. He saw the ball of energy hit his afterimage and head straight for the sea behind him.
BOOM!!!
A giant wave surged into the sky from the sea, scattering outwards and crashing onto the land like rain.
"You rascal..."
Kuro gripped the knife, gritting his teeth, and said, "Are you kidding me? This kind of power is beyond your comprehension!"
The unique elasticity and impact of the Paw Paw Fruit are fully utilized by this thing.
