The scene fell silent immediately.
"Can't I just take what I want in a peaceful way? Why make things so ugly?"
Kuro glared at Kro, slowly lowered himself, sheathed Shusui, and waved his hand, saying, "I'm done playing."
“Lucifer Kuro, you…”
Hancock turned her head, shocked.
She didn't understand why this man would do this, and also, the way he casually brushed aside her attack just now wasn't just a matter of him putting on a brave face as she thought.
Is this man toying with me?
But why...?
What does he know?!
Hancock looked at Sandersonia, whose back was enveloped by the earth and who dared not move, swallowed hard, and was filled with doubt.
The backs of the three of them must never be seen.
That's not a curse.
That is...
The hoofprints of the Celestial Dragons!
When Tiger liberated the entire town, they took the opportunity to escape.
Few people know this, and the world will never know that they were once slaves.
But if they are discovered, not only will they be unable to stay on Amazon Lily, but the Marines will also likely not give up, as they are the Celestial Dragons' dogs.
but...
Why should she protect her sister's back?
Did he know about this?
As for the curse or anything like that, that's just something to fool the people of Kuja; Lucilfer Kuro would never believe it.
So, the reason he did this...
Hancock stared intently at Kuro.
This man must know something!
"Oh dear, really..."
Kuro pouted and said, "I've heard that the three Gorgon sisters have a curse on their backs. Once someone sees it, they'll be petrified beyond repair. How terrifying! One of us is a Marine, and the other is a Shichibukai. There's no need to be so tense, right, Boa Hancock?"
As he spoke, he untied the cloak from his back and tossed it over there. The cloak wobbled and landed in front of Marigold, who was still in shock and confusion.
"Just put your clothes on if they're torn."
Hearing Kuro's words, Hancock took a deep breath, looked at the Kuja citizens standing to the side, and said, "Those who don't want to be petrified, leave."
The people of the Nine Serpents, upon hearing their emperor's speech, said nothing more and left their spots one by one.
They knew about the curse and dared not look at Marigold's back.
"You two, come back here too."
Kuro greeted Lida and Kro.
Kuro transformed into human form and walked towards him, only to be glared at by Kuro. "I'll deal with you later!"
I didn't do anything!
Kro looked aggrieved.
Is it wrong for him to stop others from letting you take advantage of him?
The remaining navy members were facing Hancock and the others, and could not see Marigold's back.
Marigold thought for a moment, then took the naval cloak floating in front of her, exited her snake-woman form, and tied the cloak around her chest to cover her back and front.
The Celestial Dragons' hoofprints were obscured.
"Thanks."
Marigold pursed her lips and thanked Kuro.
“What do you know, Lucilfer Kuro?”
Hancock said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you know?"
If this man knew...
That's different from Lord Luffy.
Lord Luffy is a pirate, and a pirate who even fought a Celestial Dragon.
But this man is in the navy. If he knows, does that mean that all the higher-ups will know?
"I don't know anything."
Kuro waved his hand. "I just happened to know about the unique legend of you three sisters. I don't care about anything else."
Of course, the Navy's high command didn't know about this. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a way for Hancock to become a Shichibukai. Those annoying Celestial Dragon idiots would have forced the Navy's high command to arrest her long ago.
However, I doubt that the old man and his family would do that.
Hancock is very strong.
We can catch him as a regular pirate, but if he escapes, so be it. Pirates often escape on the high seas, so one more won't make a difference.
Crocodile ran away too, and although they're still being pursued, who knows where he is?
However, if their identity as Celestial Dragons' slaves is exposed, they won't be treated like ordinary pirates.
The navy will face difficulties then, and Amazon Lily will face even greater difficulties.
That means things have completely broken down.
Letting this woman go crazy could have serious consequences.
While it's said that the old man and his men aren't afraid, what about the ordinary navy?
A lieutenant general is no match for this woman.
With that petrification ability, once on the battlefield, even elite vice admirals would have to rely on diverting their attention to avoid that ability, while ordinary naval forces would definitely be wiped out.
For the order of a Celestial Dragon?
Stop joking.
So when Kuro scratched Marigold's back, Kuro knew he couldn't continue playing this game.
If this continues unchecked, it will push Hancock to the opposite side, and the entire Kuja tribe to the opposite side.
Those people he brought with him probably won't survive.
Why make things so ugly? Kuro hates this kind of thing the most, especially when they're on the same side.
But Kuro's perfunctory attitude made the Hancock sisters even more alarmed.
This man must know something.
But what happened back then...
How old was he? Did he come out of the East China Sea back then?
How would you know?
Or is Lucilfer Kuro a Celestial Dragon?
