"I'll help you!"
At this moment, Lida had already arrived behind Kuro. Upon seeing Gryphon, who was in front of Kuro, she didn't say a word, but immediately transformed into her girl form and stared at him as if facing a formidable enemy.
Lida felt it more deeply than Kuro.
The man's aura gave her the feeling of a ferocious beast.
Extremely dangerous!
"White hair? And this hidden energy fluctuation within my body..."
Gryphon glanced at Lida and said, "The Luo family's martial arts genius? Normally, I would kill you, but right now, there's someone I want to kill even more."
“Let’s go, this is not something you can handle…” Kuro said, “Besides, it’s perfect for him to test my new sword.”
"A new knife?"
Lida, who was about to leave after Kuro's words, paused and looked at the long katana in Kuro's hand.
"Where did you get this knife? Who did you snatch it from? This knife..."
Even just looking at it, Lida could feel the bloody killing intent emanating from the knife.
That was definitely Kuro's killing intent, the same ferocious killing intent that Lida had sensed earlier. This sword can materialize Kuro's killing intent?!
Kuro rolled his eyes. "Couldn't I have bought it or found it?"
"impossible!"
Lida said firmly, "You're not that kind of person!"
Kuro: "..."
"Hurry up and leave, don't delay my knife test."
"oh."
Lida didn't linger. The person opposite her was indeed dangerous, and she was no match for him, so she decided to leave him to Kuro.
Unlike some people who clearly lack strength but insist on staying here as a burden and a hindrance, thus distracting the fighters from protecting them.
What? Where did you see that?
That's what people in storybooks do.
If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. Why stay here and do nothing but be a burden to others?
As for Kuro...
Kuro will never lose!
Lida led Kuro and Sazir away. The latter two had wanted to leave for a long time, and Sazir didn't even dare to get close. The murderous aura emanating from Kuro's sword made his legs tremble. Being able to leave at this moment was already a great relief.
Kro wasn't in much better shape; he was sweating profusely.
"That's a terrifying killing intent, Kuro. How could you do something like this?"
At that moment, two people appeared from both sides, with their hands in their pockets and staring at Kuro with surprise.
Gion, meanwhile, gripped her Kinpira and stared intently at the Raki in Clow Reed's hand.
"The aura of a famous sword, or perhaps a demonic sword... You've obtained an extraordinary blade," Gion said.
"What are you two doing here? Are you done cleaning up?" Kuro asked, glancing at Kake and Gion.
"Such a big thing happened, and you were fighting, so I had to come. Did you kill a Celestial Dragon?" Kaji chuckled.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kuro glared at Gaki.
"After all, your murderous aura was too strong. I thought the Celestial Dragons had offended you somehow," Kaji said.
Everyone in the Navy knows about Kuro's reputation: petty and hot-tempered. He was assassinated once and immediately went to confront Big Mom. It's not surprising that a Celestial Dragon would be killed by him if he offended him.
Otherwise, why would Fleet Admiral Sengoku in the past, and now Fleet Admiral Sakazuki in the present, never let Kuro guard Mary Geoise, or even have contact with the Celestial Dragons? This is enough to give us a glimpse into their intentions.
There are plenty of people in the Navy who dislike the Celestial Dragons; how do you think they manage to stay in the Navy?
The task of dealing with the Celestial Dragons has been entrusted to the Fleet Admiral, the Admirals, and the Chief of Staff.
Among the Marines below, aside from those who wanted to curry favor with the Celestial Dragons, there were many who genuinely didn't want to deal with the World Government; if they didn't want to deal with them, they simply avoided them altogether.
Kuro is the leader of this group, and he directly curses at the World Government.
Those officials all knew that the Golden Lion in the Navy disliked them very much, and unless absolutely necessary, no one was willing to call him to give orders.
Most people would rather call Kizaru.
But Kizaru...
Everyone knows he often misses phone calls, and even when he does, it's useless. Everyone in headquarters knows that Kizaru treats Kuro like his own son.
Do you need help?
Gion glanced at Gryphon and said, "This guy seems too difficult to deal with."
"No need."
Kuro said, "When I killed two pirates just now, he didn't make a move. If he wants a one-on-one fight, of course I'll grant his wish. Instead of interfering with me, you should also send innocent people onto the ship. This guy is the mastermind behind the murder of the Celestial Dragons, but he's Tesoro's subordinate, so Tesoro is the mastermind. This place is already very dangerous."
“I am not Tesoro’s subordinate. I am only here to kill Celestial Dragons at his invitation,” Gryphon said in a muffled voice.
"That's not important."
Kuro gripped Luo Gui tightly. "What you say or think doesn't matter. What matters is how we report it. The higher-ups definitely need to give us an account. A person who is only looking for death certainly doesn't carry enough weight, and in the current situation, without a large number of lives, the higher-ups won't let it go."
...
Headquarters, General's Office.
Kizaru stared at the Den Den Mushi with a smile, listening to the voice on the other end of the receiver.
"Borusalino, act now! Three Celestial Dragons died in Gran Tesoro. No matter what, someone has to pay the price!"
"Oh~ How scary, are the Celestial Dragons dead?" Kizaru pouted, looking surprised.
"Yes, this is a very serious matter! This is a disgrace to the World Government, a serious provocation against us! They must be severely punished, and the world must know the authority of the World Government! The Celestial Dragons' position is unshakeable!" someone shouted into the microphone.
"Ah... I understand. I will make my move on this matter," Kizaru said with a smile.
When Celestial Dragons suffer casualties, the Admirals personally handle the situation.
But it's been a long time, a very long time since something this big has happened.
Previously, the Celestial Dragons would take the initiative to seek out the Admirals to resolve troubles. It wasn't until two years ago, when the Straw Hat crew attacked the Celestial Dragons, that the Admirals were mobilized for the first time because of 'Celestial Dragon casualties'.
But they were only injured; this time, they died—three of them!
Not to mention the World Government, the Navy was also deeply shaken.
"What are you navy doing?! There were three vice admirals on that ship: Kinni, Momousagi, and Chaton. Why did you allow the Celestial Dragons to suffer casualties?! Is there any point in your navy still existing?! Quickly find out what happened and then resolve this!" The voice continued to roar into the microphone.
"Kuro?"
Kizaru paused for a moment, a glint of shrewdness appearing in his narrowed eyes.
"I'm off."
He hung up the Den Den Mushi, leaned back slightly in his chair, and looked at the view revealed by the wide-open door in front of him.
"Where's Kuro? Could Kuro have killed him? How terrifying..."
