Russell was angry, a sad kind of anger.
Kuro sensed that emotion the moment he used that so-called 'state of anger'.
Leaving aside their strength, their uncontrollable anger was palpable.
Why would someone be so angry?
The anger mixed with sorrow, that will, made Kuro sigh.
"Human will, regardless of one's stance, always has its own merits."
Kuro glanced at Russell, who had already closed his eyes, shook his head, and looked down the mountain. "However, if you're thinking of defeating my men, you're probably mistaken. My men are not weak."
Russell died with nothing to his name, and there was no news of his passing except for a sense of relief.
But Kuro doesn't need the news anymore.
The battles of such determined individuals can reveal a great deal.
This man was angry about his current situation and became immersed in the fictional world created by the so-called saintess.
Simply put, they were deceived by someone using 'dreams'.
"Are the people here really that naive?"
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, gripped the hilt of his sword with his left hand, and flew downwards.
...
In Grand Harbor, Cass looked at the people who had returned to order and nodded slightly.
"Indeed, Mr. Kuro's teachings were useful. Only Mr. Kuro's words are the truth and the real deal!"
“That’s right, what the ‘Sayings of Justice’ records is justice!” Wilbur echoed, clutching his chest tightly with his hand.
His treasures are inside.
It was also something he regarded as truth.
"Miss Lida, why are you so surprised?"
Kro noticed Lida's surprise and went over to ask her what was wrong.
"Didn't you notice?" Lida pointed at Cass and said, "This bearded man is something else!"
"What?" Kro asked, somewhat confused.
"Never mind...maybe not. I've never seen anyone in the Navy with that kind of qualification. Hmm...maybe Kuro knows. I'll ask him when he gets back."
A red glint flashed in Lida's eyes as she looked towards the snow-capped mountain ahead. "How did he end up there? Uh... wait a minute."
The moment Lida activated her Observation Haki and locked onto Kuro's presence, she suddenly turned her head and exclaimed, "Kuro, someone's here!"
"ah..."
Kro also looked in that direction, towards the center of the square, where there seemed to be a renewed presence.
Soon, a white light flashed in the center of the town.
Soon, five more people appeared there, along with an Iron Maiden.
Five people, all dressed in matching white knight outfits, gathered around the Iron Maiden.
"ah..."
One of the men, with curly hair, yawned, looking rather lazy. "We've arrived, Your Majesty."
“Thank you for your hard work, Moore.” A clear voice came from the Iron Maiden. “It pains me that they are unwilling to contribute to peace.”
"Then leave it to us, Your Majesty!"
A white-haired, thin man looked up at the navy, stuck out his tongue, and licked his lips. "Just take out these criminals who disrupt peace."
"Ah... the Navy, enjoying such good benefits and such high combat power, but they just can't properly maintain peace..." Beside the white-haired man, a boy sneered, "It's truly enviable!"
"Oh~ there are lots of handsome guys here."
Beside her, a woman dressed as a geisha touched her red lips with her finger and winked, "Could you please leave for my sake? For the sake of peace, I will reward you handsomely."
There was another person, carrying a large sword on his back, who didn't speak, but his eyes were filled with greed as he looked at the navy.
These people... are very strong!
At least in Kro's perception, they were very strong.
Who are you?!
Cass stepped forward first, demanding, "Why are you here?! What does it have to do with you that the people here have become like this?"
The young man among the five grinned maliciously and said, "We are the commanders of the 'Holy Army,' and we have come for peace. Her Majesty the Holy Maiden sensed that someone had disrupted her prayers for peace, so we came. Navy, don't easily destroy peace, or Her Majesty will weep!"
As they spoke, tears welled up in their eyes as they protected the Iron Maiden statue.
"Peace is extremely precious, and everyone should make efforts and contributions to peace. To date, you have killed many people and consumed many lives, but it doesn't matter. I forgive you. As long as you sincerely repent, I, on behalf of God, will forgive you. Satan, lay down your weapons, count your sins, repent, and then atone for your sins, and you will obtain true peace."
Her words seemed to possess a certain magic, instantly captivating everyone present.
Sazir's eyes were vacant. He raised his hand and murmured, "These hands of mine have killed so many people and consumed so many lives, all for my own selfish desires. I shouldn't have..."
"Are you kidding me?!"
Just then, a loud shout interrupted Sazir's rambling.
Cass shouted with righteous indignation, "Everything we do is for the peace of civilians! Only the Navy can contribute to the peace of civilians, and only the Navy's actions can be called justice!! If there truly are gods, then there should be a God of the Navy! If there is a God of the Navy, then Mr. Kuro is the incarnation of that God of the Navy!!"
The white mist formed a white fog that expanded along with the three thousand Greg Navy soldiers behind him, enveloping everyone.
"What we're doing is justice!!" Cass shouted, raising his weapon.
"justice!!!"
Behind him, three thousand people roared in unison, completely dispelling the bewitching magic words.
That wisp of white mist also rippled across the five people and the Iron Maiden.
The Iron Maiden fell into a brief silence. Soon, her head was opened, revealing the face of a young girl.
The girl had her eyes closed, and there was obvious sadness on her face.
"I'm heartbroken..."
She began, "But peace should not be stopped, Belial..."
"Yes!" the boy sneered.
"Moore".
The lazy person scratched his head. "This is a bit of a problem."
"Angmei."
The woman dressed as a geisha smiled slightly.
“Adela”.
The man carrying the sword stared at Cass, his eyes filled with surprise and greed.
"Ah...it's the aura of a complete person, a complete person!"
"Lofa".
The white-haired man stretched his limbs and stared at Lida, "Can you satisfy my thirst?"
"Luo?"
Lida was also slightly taken aback, looking at the man's white hair in surprise.
"Let's do it, for peace."
The Iron Maiden's mask closed once more.
