Speed is power.
The old man often said, "Kizaru is a very fast man."
Kuro also admitted that there was some truth to it.
Aside from the "Mumei Shinfu Ryu" style, Kuro's most proficient swordsmanship is Iaido, which emphasizes speed.
"One-Sword Style: One Line of Heaven," or "Iaijutsu: One Line of Heaven," is a relatively practical move in his swordsmanship.
The key is movement speed; strike as fast as you can, leaving no time for the opponent to react.
laugh!!!
Buck's thick crocodile skin now bore ten deep, intersecting marks that revealed the bone. The giant crocodile's body trembled, softened, and transformed into Buck, with ten scars on its chest.
Buck's eyes rolled back, his mouth was wide open, his body swayed precariously, and he was panting heavily.
That attack, if it hadn't turned into the most resilient crocodile in the South China Sea, would probably have killed him.
Buck Arlo hails from a large island in the South Sea, no smaller than Alabasta. They originated from a small kingdom within the island, near a large river that the people of the kingdom relied on for their livelihood.
However, a group of crocodiles, the needlefish, lived in the river. This creature had killed his parents.
The kingdom once sent troops to suppress them, but the troops suffered heavy losses.
Because neither swords, spears, nor cannons can kill this crocodile. It's not that their defenses are impenetrable, but that they are indestructible; this crocodile has incredible vitality.
But the army's suppression at least curbed the growth of crocodiles, until one day the kingdom abandoned the suppression due to internal strife, and the crocodiles became rampant. When the small kingdom re-established the rules, they found that the river had been completely occupied by crocodiles.
Without water, no one can survive.
Some left their homes, others died, and the small kingdom quickly became a wasteland.
Later, the world government intervened and exterminated the crocodiles.
That kind of crocodile left a deep impression on Buck since he was a child. Around that time, he had just eaten a Devil Fruit, and the first thing he remembered was the form of the Needle Crocodile.
I've just never used it.
Now that his life was threatened, he instinctively used this animal from his hometown, one that left a deep impression on him.
Kro stood up, looked at the swaying Buck, gritted his teeth, and said, "Truly tenacious."
That "Swift Shave" move put a lot of pressure on him, and his body couldn't withstand the side effects of it; his legs are still trembling.
I thought I could easily take down Buck, but it seems that a pirate with a bounty of over 300 million is not to be underestimated.
But that's the end of it.
Kro stepped forward, his claws pointing at Buck, ready to deliver the final blow.
"Aaaaaah!"
Just then, Buck clasped his hands together and roared.
"I won't die! I'm only one step away from paradise. You forced me to this. Look, I didn't even disguise myself like this when I was facing Jack!"
The skin is softening, and Buck is shrinking.
"shave."
Kro narrowed his eyes, suddenly accelerated, and struck straight at Buck's back.
He sensed something was wrong.
However, the claws struck empty air, and Buck vanished from sight.
The next instant, his pupils contracted, and a chill ran down his spine.
"Swift Shave - Circumference!"
A circular shockwave surged around him, and Kro moved faster than ever before, disappearing in an instant. Just then, a small black shadow rushed toward his original spot, and with a soft sound, a small hole, about half the size of a palm, appeared in the ground.
The cave is very deep.
"Ha ha..."
Kro appeared at the other end of the circular shockwave, half-lying down, staring intently at the hole, panting heavily.
A bloodstain appeared on his cheek, and a trickle of blood flowed from the wound.
Even though he dodged immediately, he still couldn't avoid it. He couldn't even see the shape of that thing; he only knew that it was extremely fast.
And it is very sharp.
Kro's body tensed as he stared intently at the cave entrance on the ground. Suddenly, a dark shadow shot out from the cave in the moonlight, and Kro also took a step.
"Swift Shave - Tiger Claw!"
His figure vanished and instantly reappeared at the cave entrance, where ten intersecting claw blades launched a combined attack.
laugh!
The shadowy figure slipped through the gaps in his claws, which moved like a dense net, and pierced his arm.
"He avoided it! How is that possible!" Kro exclaimed in shock.
"Chirp!"
A loud, clear cry rang out from the sky, tinged with a hint of smugness.
This time, Kro saw it clearly. It was a black swallow, less than half the size of a palm, with a long beak like a sword and a tail like scissors, circling in the air.
"Bullet Swallow?"
Lida was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, didn't this kind of creature go extinct a few years ago?"
Kuro gave the swallow a strange look. "Oh, it's this thing..."
Kro's face was particularly grim.
He was born in the East China Sea, so naturally he knew about this creature.
The bullet swallow, a creature of the East China Sea, was once feared throughout the region. This swallow was very fast and small in size, hence its name "bullet swallow".
Their beaks are very sharp, capable of easily piercing steel, and they are so agile that no attack has been able to catch them so far.
They are carnivores, and once these swallows target an animal, they will poke a bloody hole in it and snatch a piece of meat.
Bullet swallows don't eat much; a piece of meat is enough to fill them up. But these swallows... are social creatures.
Even sea kings, when surrounded by a flock of swallows, will soon be reduced to nothing but skeletons.
