Krein Og.
Kuro certainly remembered the man who awakened the nation at a great cost.
“That kind of sinful and cowardly country only brings shame upon people, and I feel deeply ashamed. No one can gain honor there.”
Russell brandished his longsword and said in a deep voice, "If we want to gain honor, the only way is to let the Holy Maiden fulfill her wish. Then this world can be saved and become a world where everyone can gain honor."
"I said, are you really going to stop me?" Kuro clicked his tongue and said.
Russell reached out, and the donkey's ears suddenly expanded, turning into something like a pouch. He rummaged inside and pulled out a long spear, gripping it tightly and assuming a throwing stance. "Although you are strong, I am not afraid of you. For the sake of Her Majesty's wish, I cannot allow you to approach Her Majesty."
"besides?"
Kuro raised an eyebrow, but didn't pay it any mind. He wasn't interested in this man; at least for now, he was more interested in finding the saintess.
Although the force with which this guy threw his spear was similar to that of the one he encountered in the Kingdom of Krein, the actual power of the spear wasn't quite as great.
Just as Kuro was about to accelerate and head straight to the summit, he suddenly froze. The aura he had sensed on the summit vanished without a trace.
"Disappeared?"
The red light in his eyes deepened considerably. Kuro continued to sense with his Observation Haki and discovered that those auras had actually appeared at the original Grand Port in that instant.
"Don't get distracted while fighting me!!"
call out!
A white meteor shot out again, heading straight for Kuro's face.
The white meteor struck Kuro directly, passing right through him, and Kuro's figure rippled in the air like waves.
laugh!
The next instant, the sound of a sharp weapon slicing through flesh rang out behind Russell.
His body stiffened, and as blood spurted from his back, he collapsed to the ground.
"I remember now, the Knights of Glory, right? The pirate with the 100 million bounty."
Kuro sheathed Autumn Water and said calmly, "So, isn't it a good thing that I can't be bothered with you? If you take this opportunity to escape, you'll be safe. Why are you blocking my way here?"
He didn't even glance at Russell, and prepared to walk down the mountain.
The wind and snow were still heavy.
"Don't... leave."
The sound came from behind.
Kuro's eyes flickered slightly, and he stopped in his tracks. He didn't turn around, but his face was full of surprise. "Someone like you has this kind of willpower? That's terrifying."
The person behind him slowly stood up. He was holding a long-eared donkey by his side, with one hand gripping a sword. He was a little unsteady, but in the end, he managed to stand up.
"For the sake of the Holy Maiden's wish, you cannot leave..."
Russell gripped his longsword, pointing it directly at Kuro, "Even if it means death, I will stop you!"
With that, he closed his eyes and murmured, "I'm sorry, Holy Maiden, I must use this power..."
Sparks gradually rose from his body amidst the ice and snow.
"Russell! Don't resist! We can't fight pirates!"
"Russell! Kneel down now! The pirates only want our valuables, they won't harm us."
"Russell..."
"Russell..."
Scenes from the Kingdom of Krein flashed through my memory one by one.
"Why can't I resist?"
The sparks on his body intensified, making Russell appear as if he were burning, but this burning was more like embers after a fire, only emitting sparks.
"I could have resisted; it is Klein's failure to resist that is the real sin!!"
Russell opened his eyes, which were now bloodshot. His hoarse voice gradually became a mixture of many voices, "Sin must be redeemed!"
He swung his longsword, and embers began to swirl around it.
The entire longsword was more than one size larger.
Russell reached into the donkey's ear pocket and pulled out another spear, sparks flying around it.
"A look of rage!!"
A mixed sound came from Russell's mouth.
Then, in this white world, Russell, now filled with black and red, rushed toward Kuro like a falling meteorite, his longsword and spear crossing as he slammed down.
when!!
The black blade blocked the longsword and spear, and a shockwave erupted from the center of the two of them, shattering the surrounding snow.
Kuro took a small step back and sighed, "This is really troublesome. This level... is even a little stronger than mine. Hey, be careful, if it causes an avalanche, everyone on the island will be gone."
"Prevent!"
Russell was no longer able to hear what was being said. His scarlet eyes sparked, his teeth bared, and he let out a beast-like roar as he pressed his body forward.
Kuro stepped back, dodging Russell's attack. Russell missed his first strike, then raised his hands and swung his weapon at him again.
"Is it necessary to be so angry? Besides, as a pirate, what's the reason for your anger? Look, I'm not even that angry, I'm just..."
Seeing Russell charge at him again, Kuro held his blade at an angle, his body moving like a ghost, passing directly through Russell's attack and slashing him in the chest.
"He just wanted to kill someone."
laugh!!
The force of the blow ripped open Russell's chest. He staggered, his body swaying, before finally collapsing onto the snow.
"Prevent..."
Russell reached out, seemingly wanting to continue the attack, but the knife wound that could almost split him in two left him with no strength left, and his arm fell back down as soon as it was raised.
The sparks on his body gradually disappeared.
His eyes gradually cleared, his head tilted to one side, and tears began to flow.
That was the despair and helplessness after hope was shattered.
"Why?"
He looked at Kuro, "If the world is saved, no one in this world will be bullied, and everyone can live together in harmony. Why do you want to stop the Saintess from having this wish? You know about Krein, so you should know the hopeless reality of the Kingdom of Krein!"
"Don't joke around."
Kuro flicked the blade, and blood gushed from the black sword, falling onto the white snow in a glaringly bright way.
"No matter which world it is, contradictions will always exist. If making people eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, or repent could save the world, then there would be no Navy, and there would be no pirates."
He sheathed Qiu Shui and said, "Say one thing: your kingdom was saved by your king, with his life..."
"Ogg?"
Russell was startled, staring intently at Kuro. "Impossible, Ogre..."
"You're about to die, why would I lie to you?"
Kuro pulled a box of cigars from his pocket, took one out, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "Won't your unbridled anger subside a little?"
