"My, my arm!"
Sig held his severed arm, his face filled with disbelief.
The reason they formed the new pirate alliance was also based on a assessment of their strength.
It was through Aip's leadership that they were able to come together, including that old guy Smith.
He had personally tested the sword from Sichuan and Tibet, and it couldn't break through his defense at all!
Sig initially thought it was just a fierce killing intent, but what about the damage?
Just as Kuro was about to raise his sword to continue slashing at Sig, he felt a sudden tightness in his heart. Instinctively, he shifted his body to the side. In that instant, Luo Gui emitted a burst of light and slashed down directly backward.
Boom!!
The force of the energy cleaved through the buildings in front, creating a large opening and a passage through the dense cluster of buildings.
The person wasn't hit.
Kuro narrowed his eyes, looking at Ap, who had dodged the attack but whose expression had changed slightly because of the blow.
“You’re quite the sneaky one, you can’t make a sound,” Kuro said.
As he spoke, Ap moved his feet, as if he wanted to retreat, but Kuro still couldn't hear the sound of his footsteps even though they were right in front of him.
Looking at Kuro's probing gaze, Aip's expression returned to normal after that stab, and she chuckled softly: "I am the 'Silent Person' who ate the 'Silence-Silence Fruit'. As long as I want, no one can hear any sound from me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished completely.
With his high-speed movement and silent demeanor, he vanished from Kuro's sight without a trace.
Normally, at this speed, if it's right in front of him, Kuro can see it with his naked eye, and with his Observation Haki, he can clearly sense everyone.
However, under this ability, Kuro's own Observation Haki cannot sense him, and he can only passively deal with danger, a feeling he dislikes very much.
No wonder they said two people are enough. If Kuro and Sig were to fight, this old guy would definitely be able to launch a successful sneak attack. In terms of assassination, no one can surpass him.
"I was originally planning to keep you until the end, but now it seems your priority needs to be increased."
Kuro held up the Raki horizontally, staring at the blade, and slowly said, "After all, it was because of you that Teacher Zephyr lost his family, and it was because of this that the seeds of disaster were sown in his heart. If you were still in Impel Down, trapped by the rules, there would be nothing I could do about you, but since you escaped, that's another story."
With a flick of his finger, Luo Gui's scabbard flew over from the ground. Kuro caught it with one hand, sheathed Luo Gui, and with a 'click,' tucked it into his waistband.
With his feet spread apart, Kuro gripped the tsuba (handguard) with his left hand and the hilt with his right, closed his eyes, and spoke softly:
"Within the Navy, some want to capture you and take you back, while others... want you dead!"
A crimson aura emanated from Kuro, spreading outwards to form a crimson semicircular domain. He stood there motionless, assuming his stance.
"roar!!"
At this moment, Sieg, who had lost an arm, suddenly swelled up and transformed into a giant red lizard more than ten meters long. The lizard opened its huge mouth, revealing a forked tongue and sharp teeth, and bit straight at the short navy man.
The moment he moved, Ap suddenly appeared behind Kuro, holding a dagger in her hand. With a sinister grin, she thrust it straight at Kuro's back.
With one in front and one behind, the attack range brought by Sig's enormous size would leave Kuro with no time to defend. If he took the hit, his back would be exposed, enough for Aip to attack.
If he dodges...
At this distance, even if she dodges, Aipu has a chance to teach Kuro what pain is!
He's a professional when it comes to assassination and infiltration.
That's how he obtained Zephyr's information when he entered Marineford.
Aip's eyes flashed with ferocity as he squeezed his entire body into the crimson domain. At the same time, half of Sig's lizard head also pierced through the crimson domain, biting at Kuro.
The instant they entered the crimson semicircle, Kuro's hand moved slightly, just slightly.
Both the giant lizard in front and Aipu, who had already squeezed half of his body into the crimson domain, froze in that instant.
The blade of the Luo Gui sword at his waist had somehow been revealed.
"Killing Intent Domain".
Pfft!!!
The head of the giant lizard that had plunged into the blood-red protective shield was suddenly and smoothly severed, the blood flowing loosely downwards without any spraying.
"That was close!"
At the same time, Aipu quickly retreated, leaving a trail of dust as he slid across the ground. He crouched down and looked at Kuro with a look of surprise on his face.
One cut?
Just one cut?!
Sigurd is a Zoan-type!
If his arm being severed earlier was due to carelessness, Sigurd has now transformed into his beast form, so there's no way he could have been killed in one strike!
Kuro slowly stood up, not looking at the giant lizard corpse that had collapsed on the ground, but looking at Aip behind him, "When you go down, if you see Professor Zephyr, remember to kneel down and admit your mistake."
Click.
After saying that, he pulled the exposed part of the blade back in.
"Within this domain, none will be spared," Kuro said calmly.
As the sound rang out, a line of blood appeared on Aip's head, extending straight down to his lower body.
He froze, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but the bloodline separated him, splitting him in two and causing him to fall to the ground.
"A fine knife."
Kuro patted the hilt of the sword and unconsciously gave a thumbs-up.
It is indeed a fine knife.
As an experienced swordsman, Kuro knew exactly how to use the sword from the moment he got his hands on it.
The length of the blade is the radius of his domain. Under the power of killing intent, anyone who enters the domain will be cut down.
People like Aipu, who can't see people or sense their presence, are quite troublesome.
The extension of Observation Haki is sensing, but if someone can conceal their aura, then naturally they cannot be sensed. However, concealing one's aura does not mean that the person will actually disappear; they still exist there.
Using this sword, one can actively generate killing intent to form a domain, and then combine it with Observation Haki to lock onto everything within this domain. As long as a living being enters, it will definitely be cut down.
However, as a price to pay for this guaranteed hit, Kuro himself couldn't control this move, as it was a technique that couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.
Only by not distinguishing between friend and foe can one kill without mercy.
"Let it take some more time to adjust..."
Kuro glanced at the Luo Gui at his waist, then drew it again. Looking at the blade, which was now half-restored and clearly beginning to gleam with a sharp light, he smiled:
"Once I've thoroughly mastered you, I should become even stronger."
When Sig and Ap died, their blood was loose and cohesive. The moment the blade struck them, it automatically absorbed the blood to replenish itself.
The two old pirates' health points restored the sword to half its original value.
