Achoo!
On the high seas, aboard the golden ship, Kuro inexplicably sneezed.
Lying back in his office chair, Kuro asked Chloe, who was standing beside him, "Did that crocodile leave?"
At this time, they had just departed from an island where they had docked. Crocodile and Mr. 1 had already left, along with Bucky and his men.
As for the other two Shichibukai, they had already withdrawn.
Hancock already owned a ship and left after the battle.
Mihawk himself had a small raft and a little ghost girl who did nothing but eat. He didn't stay here long, but the meaningful look he gave before leaving made Kuro feel that something was wrong.
"Oh no, I think I've been exposed!" He clapped his hands and gasped for breath; his left hand, which was in a cast, was a little sore.
Earlier, when he got carried away fighting Barrett, Hawkeye saw it and saw the look in Barrett's eyes—it was like he wanted to fencing with him!
Fortunately, the Seven Warlords of the Sea were not abolished, otherwise, by the time he recovered, Mihawk would be fighting G-3, and he didn't want to suffer that.
"Stay calm, stay calm, Kuro!"
Kuro encouraged himself, gritting his teeth, "I absolutely can't do this again. I need to stay calm and composed. The world is so beautiful; I can't be so impulsive!"
"Kuro!"
The door was kicked open, and Lida rushed in. Without saying a word, she jumped over and struck Kuro squarely between the eyebrows.
"Energy feedback!"
Bang!
The blow sent Kuro sprawling backward. He bared his teeth and glared at Lida, yelling, "What are you doing?!"
Lida said, "I'll treat you. I absorbed energy from those lieutenant generals and am giving it back to you."
Kuro pursed his lips and said, "Alright, alright, I understand. You should stop now, otherwise I'll be fine, but everyone on this ship will be in trouble."
Kuro always felt that everyone on the ship except for Kuro was his power bank. Every now and then, Lida would rush in and deliver a 'spirit feedback'.
But it's not very useful. Lida's ability isn't pure healing; it's just that she's developed a healing-like effect. As long as it's not a severed hand or foot, she can heal it, but that's about it. She can't do anything about internal injuries.
His injury definitely needs rest and recuperation to fully heal.
But since Lida was doing this, he couldn't say anything and could only passively accept it.
You can't just say something like "your skills are the most useless," that would be discouraging.
"You must be tired too, go get something to eat," Kuro said to Lida.
"Oh, I am a little hungry."
Lida nodded, jumped off the table, walked to the sofa next to her, sat down, and opened her small backpack.
Kuro shook his head, then looked at Chloe: "When will we arrive at Red Harbor?"
"We still have half a day." Kro pushed up his glasses.
"What's the status of our fortress repairs?"
"It's almost done; we're just doing the final repairs."
What about the arrangements for the dead and injured?
“It’s all settled. We can hold the funeral when we get back,” Kro replied.
Kuro nodded, looked at the display case on the side, and waved his hand. One of the transparent compartments flew over, and inside the compartment was a dark blue fruit. The fruit was like a metal lump with irregularly shaped protrusions on its surface.
He picked up the grid and placed it on the table. The fruit inside was a Fusion Fruit!
The fruit that Barrett ate was found when Lida searched her bag last time.
Its ability allows it to combine with everything around it except living beings, turning its body into a powerful weapon. However, before awakening, it only combines with a small part of the body. After awakening, it can combine with everything, just like Barrett, and the range is huge, even air can be combined.
He wasn't surprised that the fruit was in Lida's bag. It was better that the fruit was in his hands; it wouldn't be fun if such a dangerous thing flowed into the sea.
If you leave one fruit behind, the ocean will have one less fruit, which means one less potential safety hazard.
Moreover, this fruit is different; it can counter Clow's abilities, so it's best to keep it in your possession.
He stared at the fruit in the grid and sighed, "You said you'd become the strongest in the world, so why are you looking for me? Go fight the Four Emperors! If you kill them, you'll be the strongest in the world."
But Kuro was just saying that; neither Barrett nor anyone else are quite up to the level of a Yonko or an Admiral.
He fought Kaido and Linlin before. At that time, Kuro almost used his full strength, but the two of them were still in control and did not get really carried away, forcing them to use their full strength.
Moreover, he hadn't obtained Luo Gui yet at that time; he could fight, but he definitely wouldn't win.
Barrett can create a new form by combining Conqueror's Haki, his own abilities, and his own power. He doesn't believe the Four Emperors can't. Even he himself can have a new form, so how could the Four Emperors not? How could the Admirals not?
The old man has fought only a handful of major battles so far, and he has never used anything beyond his abilities. His domineering aura is always scattered, and no one can guess his true strength without a specific opponent.
However, natural-type characters are inherently evenly matched.
In the amusement park, you can easily defeat opponents without any domineering presence; even if you can't win, the odds are at least even.
In the new world, you don't even need Armament Haki in terms of Haki; enough Observation Haki is enough to go toe-to-toe with someone of equal strength.
Kuro greatly admired the cheater's abilities.
He looked at the Devil Fruits in the display case for a while, then moved his finger and put the display case back. He then opened the drawer and took out a broken pair of headphones.
