“Dyes too…”
Bakura, who was standing nearby, was stunned for a moment when she heard Kuro's words.
Tesoro roared in fury, "You're the one who killed the Celestial Dragons! Golden Lion, you have no right to talk to me like that. You're just as despicable as those people!"
"Ah... I don't deny it."
Kuro drew his sword and suddenly slashed to his side.
laugh!
A large head suddenly emerged from the ground, about to attack Kuro, but was dismembered by Ragi with a single slash.
"The world isn't all black and white. What matters isn't despicable behavior, but..."
Whoosh!
laugh!
Kuro appeared next to Bakara, and with a flash of light, without any hint of Haki, the white blade emitted a white light and severed Bakara's head.
"I am better than you."
He exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly.
"A golden bomb!"
Tesoro touched the golden floor with his finger, and the floor cracked open. In that instant, the gold melted into liquid gold, covering his fist. As he threw a punch, the golden fist exploded toward Kuro, and a huge shockwave sent flying forward with the flying gold fragments.
"Oh? Interesting. Using domineering energy as a power source to unleash an effect like a cannonball? The Golden Melting Cannon?"
Kuro didn't move at all, he just glanced at it, and the shockwave disappeared the moment it got close to him. The shattered gold pieces also lost weight and floated in the air before falling to the ground.
"Tsk!"
Tesoro stomped his foot, and the golden lights on the ceiling and the golden floor on the ground instantly turned into liquid gold, rushing towards him.
As long as he gets touched, I can use the gold to control him and turn him into a golden eagle!
These sailors, without any gold dust on them, were harder to control as they had been before.
"Has her ability awakened?" Lida was startled when she saw this.
“Yes, Tesoro is an awakened being, but if we really want to make a move, he still can’t escape.” Gion smiled at Lida.
"The intention is too obvious."
As Tesoro stomped his foot, Kuro's body lifted off the ground and hovered in mid-air. "Besides, you can't control me."
He leaped forward, gripped Luo Gui's sword, and slashed down.
Tesoro gritted his teeth, faced the attack, clenched his right fist, and a layer of golden arm armor appeared on his right hand, wrapped in a flowing aura of dominance, and he threw a punch.
laugh!!
Luo Gui slashed directly at the fist, slicing the golden arm armor and the hand inside in two.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Tesoro screamed in agony and backed away, clutching his arms.
This guy's strength might even rank among the top on the high seas.
But compared to Kuro, they are definitely no match.
That straw hat's Gear Fourth could easily defeat him in a one-on-one fight. Even Doflamingo, who was underestimating his opponent and arrogant, was severely injured by Law before being defeated.
But against Tesoro, it was purely Gear Fourth; there was no carelessness or underestimation of his opponent.
With such strength, how can one even look at them?
"How could this be! How is this possible! Why, why are you so strong!" Tesoro roared in disbelief.
"It's not that I'm strong."
Kuro looked at him and said, "You're too weak."
"It's ironic. In the same situation, the Gryphon you recruited is far stronger than you. He is a strongman, while you... are just a weakling."
What's weak isn't strength, but mindset and level of understanding.
The strong, in their anger, draw their swords against the stronger; the weak, in their anger, draw their swords against the weaker.
Both were slaves, both were defeated by a dragon, but one vowed to slay the dragon and accomplished this great feat, never regretting his decision even in death.
One was corrupted by the dragon's power, growing scales, horns, and claws, becoming a hideous monster.
Of course, this is a matter of personal choice, and Kuro has no right to criticize others.
All he possessed was the ability to kill.
"You have no right to talk to me like that! No right at all! You don't understand anything!!"
Kuro's words enraged Tesoro. "If, if you were in my situation! You wouldn't be any better off than me, Lucilfer Kuro!! Your, your most important person, was enslaved, and what could you do when you were powerless to help?!"
As long as you have money, that's all that matters!
As long as you have money!
He was simply broke, which is why he couldn't save Stella!
With money, he can have everything!
"How about letting me go! I have money!"
Tesoro yelled, "Five hundred billion Berries! I'll give you everything! Just let me go!"
He has the ability to recreate gold, even though those are just 'fake gold'. As long as he lives, this ability exists, and those fake gold can become real gold. As long as he is alive, everything can start over.
"Money, you know..."
Kuro, sipping his cigar, said calmly, "You don't seem to understand the value of money. Money is used to exchange for things of value, but once you have too much money, it becomes worthless. I remember you own 20% of the world's circulating Berries, but you've hoarded that money, which is equivalent to it not circulating at all. If you were to release all that money, prices would rise. What I can buy for 10,000 Berries might cost 20,000 Berries in the future. Besides, too much money is a hot potato; the higher-ups will be eyeing it. Although I don't care, I don't want to be bothered by those idiots."
"Besides... even if you die, the money will still be mine."
Kuro grasped the demon and slowly flew toward Tesoro.
You forced me to do this!
Tesoro shouted, and all the gold in the room surged and turned into liquid gold, constantly condensing together. The walls of the room began to melt, revealing the landscape outside. At the same time, the gold dust laid on the golden buildings in the VIP area was also collected again, including the huge high-rise hotel, which melted in an instant and all concentrated in the liquid gold.
