"Haha, that's right. It doesn't matter. There are always strange things on the high seas, and there are always heroes who appear."
Roger looked at Kuro with admiration and said, "Young man, you are so young, yet you have such strength. You will definitely be very powerful in the future. Maybe you will even be my son's opponent."
“Captain, where did you get your son?” Jabba asked.
"There will be one!" Roger laughed heartily. "And it will definitely be a son!"
"Hey, pay a little... attention to me!"
boom!
A powerful slash hurtled towards Roger, but Roger swung his blade, deflecting the attack. His smile gradually transformed into anticipation.
"Are you going to make a move again, bro? I'm really looking forward to it. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
Upon hearing this, Kuro narrowed his eyes and swooped down again. His body broke through the air, forming a bullet-shaped air barrier in front of him, reaching Roger at supersonic speed.
The autumn waters gathered back, then vanished in an instant.
"Moonlight!"
A straight line of black light shot out, heading straight for Roger's neck.
when! !
Roger had already placed the sword against his eyes before Clow Reed even drew his sword.
His Observation Haki allowed him to sense this scene, and his own strength was sufficient for him to take defensive measures.
and...
Counterattack!
boom!
A powerful aura, imposing and domineering, surrounded the blade. Roger was about to swing his sword, but at that moment, Kuro retreated at the first touch. Missing his first strike, he slid to the side, dodging Roger's intended swing.
This kind of existence is all about momentum. Shanks' moves are similar to his, focusing on stalemates and protracted battles. Ideally, someone would use Haki to clash with him, which is the area this type excels at.
Kuro excels at high-speed collisions; if one strike misses, he changes direction and strikes again. However, this kind of strike can be very sustained. It's not that he can't fight, but compared to his best style, this is only mediocre. Moreover, he doesn't want to fight like this, especially when there are enemies around.
This guy's Observation Haki is impressive, but his speed is a bit slow, and Kuro's greatest strength is speed.
After gliding past Roger from the side, Kuro bent one leg and stood upright on the other, gathering his sword at his waist and gripping the hilt. Like a fleeting ghost, he charged straight past Roger from the side.
Before he could even get close, Roger seemed to sense something and kicked out towards Kuro. A layer of domineering energy condensed on his foot, and at that moment, Kuro revealed a fierce look and moved closer to him.
Bang!
The kick landed squarely on his abdomen, and Kuro immediately felt a tremendous force, causing him to groan.
If it weren't for Xuanwu's presence, that kick would probably have sent him flying.
But now, as long as I can get close, that's fine.
"Secret Technique..."
As soon as Kuro uttered a sound, Roger used the force of the kick to move away on his own, directly escaping the range of Kuro's intended ultimate technique.
He paused briefly, then swiftly landed a short distance away, laughing, "Young man, this move looks a bit dangerous."
Kuro landed on the ground, his expression indifferent.
At this level, no flaws can be found yet.
Even if you deliberately create an opening, it's not allowed.
Simply fighting won't do.
So...
Kuro narrowed his eyes, suddenly slammed his hand on the ground, and stared at Roger, saying, "Lion's Might - Imperial Palace Scroll!"
Rumble...
The earth shook violently.
"Oh! This move..."
Upon hearing the familiar move name and the familiar rhythm, Roger's eyes widened. "As expected, you've had contact with Shiki before. You can even imitate his moves exactly the same way."
"Stop talking nonsense, you'd better run away first..."
Kuro bared his teeth and said, "I'll make sure you have nowhere to stand!"
The islands trembled even more violently.
Boom!!
With a loud bang, Roger instinctively dodged, only to see a huge crack appear in the ground where he had just stood, like an abyss.
"this..."
Amidst the swaying, Jabba steadied himself and exclaimed in astonishment, "This kind of vibration has the same effect as Whitebeard's! Is the Float-Float Fruit's power really that strong?!"
Roger looked at Kuro, his expression slightly serious: "Brother, do you want to separate this island? Doing so would waste a lot of energy, wouldn't it?"
Kuro looked up and grinned maliciously: "Just watch!"
"I can't let you do that, it would be too much trouble."
Roger gripped the sword with both hands, charged forward, and slashed at Kuro.
At that moment, Kuro's body rose up, flying directly into the sky, looking down at Roger.
He can fly, so what can you do about it?!
If I can't beat you, how can you possibly beat me?!
Domineering and high-class?
You arrogant guy, why don't you fly and show me how!
Kuro extended his five fingers and clenched them tightly. "I touched it, that's enough!"
Boom!
Boom!!
The island's land gradually crumbled, forming huge cracks that began to divide it. Seawater poured into these cracks, turning the once-land island into something resembling a shallow beach.
Immediately afterwards, with a powerful tremor, the entire island was lifted off, leaving the seawater and rising into the air.
"Hey, who is this...?"
Among the ships anchored at sea, Rayleigh looked up at the rising island, sweat beading on his forehead. "What's going on? Has Shiki arrived? But that aura is off... Roger..."
