The seawater, like a canopy covering the sky, covered the clouds and mist, forming the head of a sea lion, roaring as it flew towards the clouds and mist.
Of course, this thing can't force a nature-type entity to reveal its physical form.
Haki's ability to touch Logia-type Devil Fruits is a unique power; seawater can only render people powerless, and it requires the Logia-type Devil Fruit user to actively manifest in human form.
However, this was never Kuro's true method of fighting enemies.
"Cloud Fist!!"
As the lion's head of the sea approached, a series of pillar-like white cloud fists suddenly erupted from the clouds, scattering the seawater.
The mist condensed into half of Smith's body. He clenched his fists and grinned maliciously at Kuro: "You're using something like this against me? Are you looking down on me?!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands, and the thick cloud-like object carrying Smith's domineering fists slammed upwards.
With a loud bang, the top of the seawater barrier was blasted open, spraying water out like a fountain.
Using the extended clouds, Smith's body shifted and reformed outside the sea.
His upper body condensed, while his lower body transformed into a massive white cloud. From within that cloud, numerous giant white cloud fists emerged, striking the area around the now-broken seawater barrier.
Bang bang bang!!
The seawater splashed out little by little under that giant fist, the wall was gradually lowered, and raindrops dripped onto the ground.
"thunder!"
At the same time, Smith shouted, and the white clouds beneath him immediately turned black, forming a black cloud that covered the land.
Boom!
The dark clouds flashed with lightning, followed by a bolt of lightning powerful enough to cover the entire island, illuminating the land that had been shrouded in shadow with a blinding white light.
"thunder?!"
Lida exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening, "Kuro, quickly take care of it!"
"The Profound Mystery of the Unknown God's Romantic Journey..."
Kuro's expression turned somewhat serious. He held the blade horizontally, ran two fingers along the blade, and swung it forward forcefully.
"Black Tortoise!"
A tortoise shell, entwined with a giant snake, covered the land.
boom!
Boom boom boom boom!!!
The lightning struck the tortoise shell, making a loud bang before dissipating outside the shell, but it also caused the Xuanwu tortoise shell to vibrate.
Countless bolts of lightning struck continuously, causing the tortoise shell to vibrate more and more frequently. Gradually, cracks began to appear on the surface of the tortoise shell.
"You can't stop it!"
A hole opened in the middle of the dark cloud, revealing half of Smith's body. He grinned maliciously downwards and said, "The natural phenomenon I created can last for a long time!"
Clouds, of course, can also cause natural phenomena.
Whether it's a waterspout, a storm, or thunder.
It's all done by the clouds.
The reason why "White-Haired" Smith has such a high bounty is because of his power—he can control the weather!
"All things in the universe are in my hands!" Smith laughed wildly.
"So arrogant?"
Kuro stared coldly upwards. As he looked up, the giant snake coiled around the tortoise shell also stood upright, its snake eyes fixed on Smith above.
With just one glance, Smith froze, and his laughter stopped.
The continuous thunder also paused for a moment.
Just then, the tortoise shell covering the island faded away, and Kuro's figure flashed, leaving several afterimages in the air. He instantly arrived next to Smith, and Autumn Water was sheathed and then instantly drawn again. Golden lightning crackled around the blade. In that instant, Autumn Water split into three, bringing out three black and gold rays of light, blocking all of Smith's escape routes.
"Swallow Returns!"
Pfft!
The blade flashed past, leaving a trail of blood that drifted through the air.
Smith's body plummeted downwards, and the dark clouds dispersed at that moment, with one arm falling down along with them.
Thump!
Smith's feet jolted to the ground, preventing him from falling. He clutched his severed left arm, and a large gash had been cut open on his shoulder, almost severing it completely. There was also a huge wound on his right ribcage.
"Did you dodge at the last moment? You truly are a veteran." Kuro flicked his eyes and looked down coldly.
Rain drizzled down from the sky, washing over Smith and mixing with the blood from his wounds as it flowed down his body, forming a pool of blood at his feet, but it was quickly diluted.
"Ha ha..."
He began to breathe heavily; after all, he was an old man, and a sudden injury meant he couldn't withstand it like a young person.
"That domineering aura, and that swordsmanship... I won't fall into that trap again!"
Smith did not underestimate the navy, but he also had the confidence of a strongman that he would definitely win, without a doubt.
If you don't even have this much confidence, how are you going to seek revenge on Shanks!
The clouds around Smith began to surge wildly, flashing with lightning. The clouds stirred up a gale, whipped up the waves, and also caused the rain that had started falling at some unknown time to become chaotic.
Storm, thunder, waterspout!
It is his ultimate killing move; no one can remain unscathed in the face of such a move.
At the same time, the white mist that had clung to the ground beneath our feet was also dissipating.
He released the control over this land.
With his attack range, no one in this sea area will survive! Not even the Float-Float Fruit!
A terrifying aura began to emanate from him.
Kuro, hovering above, showed no change in expression.
He glanced down and said, "They've broken free of the control? They're about to unleash their ultimate move... But, getting old is getting old, I haven't noticed anything unusual yet."
