"Mother!!"
Upon seeing Miss Bakkin's death, Weevil, who was being surrounded and beaten, roared in pain. His eyes turned completely crimson, and with a jolt, he released his naginata and slammed his fists into the ground. The immense force caused a shockwave that momentarily halted the movements of the attacking marines.
But soon, a blur of motion flashed down from above, its feet like spears, piercing Weevil's lumbar vertebrae simultaneously.
Dalmesia!
“He’s lost his mind, so he’s lost his Observation Haki. Don’t be afraid of him, keep fighting!” Dalmesia said.
"Mother..."
Blood trickled from the corner of Weevil's mouth. His already injured body hadn't even had time to use Armament Haki to protect itself from the earlier attack, and Dalmesia's blow had damaged his lumbar spine.
Normally, he would definitely be able to fight again. This kind of injury is only considered a bruise for his physical condition; he has not lost his fighting ability.
But now, he seems to have lost his will to fight.
Miss Bakkin was his mother, whether it was true or not, in Webull's mind, he believed it to be true. With someone important dead, what will he have to fight?
Just like Zephyr back then, his family died, and the students he regarded as family also died. They all died at the hands of pirates. After serving as a Marine for so many years, he still felt a sense of powerlessness that pirates could never sever. It wasn't that different from him.
Although Kuro did not intentionally kill Miss Bakkin to cause Weevil heartache, but rather prioritized dealing with people based on their level of threat, Weevil's demeanor was no different from Zephyr's back then.
It's just a matter of tit for tat.
Kuro, with a cigar in his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke as if sighing, then twisted Qiushui's wrist, instantly creating a phantom image that appeared in front of Weevil's face.
"The ultimate mystery of the unknowable divine wind..."
Kuro ran two fingers across the blade, and the sky suddenly darkened. With a thunderous roar, a ball of golden lightning descended from the sky, coiling around the blade like a dragon and emitting golden light before slashing down.
"Yellow Dragon!"
The full version of 'Yellow Dragon' is certainly more powerful than Kuro's instant version. His movements can't really be called movements; they are a gathering of momentum and swordsmanship. He prepares by chanting, and once the momentum is built up, it becomes a complete move. In contrast, the instant Yellow Dragon is something he developed recently, emphasizing speed but sacrificing a lot of power.
Pfft!!!
A flash of golden light, and Kuro quickly sheathed his sword, not even glancing at Weevil, and walked past him toward the port.
At that moment, Weevil's body stiffened, and a golden line suddenly appeared from his forehead to his chin. The golden line expanded, revealing red, but there was no gap or blood. Weevil's head tilted to the side, and he fell silent.
This brought the nearby navy to a standstill.
Those present were all powerful individuals trained by Zephyr; they could distinguish between life and death.
With everyone dead, there's nothing left to fight.
"Why? Lieutenant General!"
Ain rushed over, shouting, "He deserves to be tortured even more!"
Therefore, Ian did not use her abilities.
In a one-on-one situation, Ain wouldn't have a chance to use her abilities on Weevil. His powerful aura would isolate her power, and his strong physique would prevent her from activating them.
However, with so many people fighting, she would definitely find an opening and make Weevil disappear.
But she wanted Weevil to suffer more, to have the pain that Teacher Zephyr had experienced manifested in him, which is why she used a pistol.
That's enough.
Kuro shook his head: "That's just an idiot, a somewhat foolish idiot. That's enough. We're not pirates, we won't do things like them, but we're also human. We will take revenge, but taking revenge doesn't mean we have to become like those despicable people. We are the Marines, we have our own pride."
He looked at Ain and said, "If Professor Zephyr were still here, he wouldn't want you to become like this, Ain."
Ain would lose control of her emotions whenever Zephyr was mentioned. She had extraordinary respect for Zephyr, the kind of respect one would have for a father.
Ain hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head.
“Holding onto the past won’t make you happy. You’ve been in G-3 for so long, and you’ve always been quite silent. Clinging to the shackles of the past won’t help you move forward; it will only make you regress,” Kuro said to her.
Kuro had wanted to bring this up for a while, but didn't have a good reason. After all, the man seemed to be doing quite well on the surface. How bad could a colonel's life be? Besides, the benefits and treatment of G-3 were not bad either.
I can't exactly tell Ain that I came to my office alone because I wanted to explore her inner thoughts.
It's easy to be seen as indecent.
Kuro patted Ain on the shoulder, looked at the sea ahead, and said slowly, "Think about it carefully. You know, people can stand still, but the waves of the sea cannot. If you don't move forward before the waves rise, then when the waves come, you will be the first to be submerged."
"Yes, I understand." Ain's eyes reddened. "We've taken our revenge. We've avenged Teacher Zephyr!"
"Yes, it has been reported."
Kuro smiled, walked past Ain, and went to the harbor. He looked down at the crashing waves and said, "Bring some wine, sherry. I know you all brought some."
The people he was talking to were the navy soldiers who had come from the rear to seek revenge.
The naval officers smiled, nodded, and ordered their men to fetch wine from the ship. Soon after, the naval soldiers brought the wine over, and each of the Zephyr disciples held a bottle, standing behind Kuro, also gazing at the sea.
