Is the old man injured?
Kuro's first reaction was that he was joking, but the tone didn't sound fake, because it sounded very weak.
Kuro asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"
"Well, I came to Wano Country to scout out what was going on there, but it's terrifying! Kaido and Big Mom have actually teamed up. This is a big deal. I was unlucky and got hit by their combined attack. Now I'm hiding in Wano Country."
The tone on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was still lewd, but Kuro could vaguely tell from the expression the Den Den Mushi was mimicking that the old man was not at ease.
"Are you kidding me? You can't escape?"
As he said this, Kuro's body was already rising.
"The two of you are locked down. I was careless and took a hit earlier. I could retreat, but I would be more seriously injured. You're in G-3, right? Come and support me." Kizaru said with a smile.
Kuro said into the Den Den Mushi, "Teach came to ambush us. I just finished fighting, and G-3 is gone."
"Oh? That's really true. Well, then I myself..."
"You wait there, I'm coming right now!"
Snap!
Before Kizaru could finish speaking, Kuro hung up the Den Den Mushi, closed the cover on his wrist, and simultaneously raised his fingers, creating a stone platform that floated towards Mihawk's location.
"Hurry up, Mihawk, you're too slow."
Mihawk's eyes flickered as he stepped onto the stone platform and said, "Wano Country? That's not covered by this contract. However, if you agree to fight me afterward, I can help you."
"Just keep an eye on Lida and the others as they get back to headquarters. We don't even know where Teach is!"
Kuro reached out and summoned the stone platform carrying Mihawk, which then flew rapidly toward G-3.
Rumble...
The palm-shaped continent then rose upwards, ascending into the sky along with the weapons that had been smashed on the ground.
Soon, Kuro flew back to G-3, then clicked his tongue and his face darkened.
The G-3 is no longer recognizable; it's just a desert island on the verge of collapse. The fortress and buildings have long since crumbled into fragments, peeking out crookedly from the sand and gravel.
The only things that remained were the enormous Golden Lion at the port and two warships.
G-3 was completely destroyed, and the island was also destroyed along with it.
"Kuro!"
At the edge of the island, Lida saw the approaching figure and her face lit up with joy. "You landed? That's great!"
"Take your men back to headquarters, and it would be best if you could reunite with Marshal Sakassky."
Kuro flicked his finger, causing the stone platform carrying Mihawk to land on the island. He said, "The Seven Warlords of the Sea will also return with me. Kuro, go to the ship and get me the permanent pointer to the nearest base."
"Yes, Mr. Kuro."
Kro adjusted his glasses and ran over to the Golden Lion.
G-3 Fortress originally had permanent Log Pose from Wano Country, including those from Totto Land, and even those from Teach's stronghold, Beehive Island. But now that the fortress is destroyed, those stored Log Pose are gone too, since they were so fragile and couldn't withstand much of the aftershocks.
However, the Golden Lion still has permanent pointers to nearby bases, which Kuro can retrieve from other bases.
"Kuro, what are you doing?" Lida asked with some concern, noticing the lingering crimson in Kuro's eyes.
Is this guy still obsessed?
Kuro gritted his teeth and said, "The old man got into trouble in Wano Country. Kaido and Linlin teamed up to give him a hard time, forcing him to hide and unable to break through. I'm going to bring him back!"
He emphasized his last word heavily, sending a chill down everyone's spine. Those words... were filled with murderous intent!
But what they cared more about was the information conveyed in Kuro's words.
"Kaido!" Moria's eyes widened, and he snarled, "Kaido!"
"They've joined forces..." Crocodile murmured after a moment's thought, "Rocks?"
"Hey! I've heard that name before!" Bucky exclaimed, stunned. "The captain mentioned this name before!"
“I’ll go with you!” Lida said instinctively, then realized what she meant and shook her head, “No, you go, be careful.”
If the two of them team up, there's no point in her going with them; she'll only be a burden to Kuro. He and Kizaru can easily escape on their own.
“Mr. Kuro, this is the permanent pointer of the nearby base.”
At that moment, Crowe ran over from the Golden Lion with a pointer in his hand.
With a flick of his finger, Kuro sent the pointer flying from his hand and hovering around him.
"Lida..." Kuro said again, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth once more.
"clear!"
Lida flashed by, even turning into afterimages, and quickly swept past the numerous marines.
"Let me borrow your energy!"
She didn't even spare the Seven Warlords of the Sea; her afterimage flashed past as she touched them and began to absorb their energy.
"This ability..."
Crocodile was also touched by the ability and was immediately surprised, "No wonder Teach changed his target before."
His energy was waning; it wasn't just physical strength, but the culmination of his spirit and vitality. Once it was drained, even the release of his domineering aura became difficult due to the depletion of his will.
Even Hancock frowned, wanting to get angry, but seeing the crimson in Kuro's eyes and his impatience, she held back.
Arrogant as she may be, Hancock knows what's important and why she would want to provoke the person in front of her.
"ah..."
Bucky collapsed to the ground, his backside in the air, his hand outstretched towards the sky. He looked emaciated. "Power...power...power is gone!"
Rudolf was startled, his body tensing up. He felt his energy drain away as he was touched, but he didn't show any signs of it.
However, he felt a surge of shock and disbelief towards this girl.
This white-haired woman is the nemesis of martial arts practitioners!
That kind of ability, once encountered, will cause the physical fighter to gradually weaken, while she will become stronger the more she fights.
This Golden Lion has quite a few powerful subordinates...
"They're here!"
Having drawn her energy out on everyone, Lida jumped up and slapped Kuro in the chest.
Buzz!
A large amount of vital energy surged into his body, gradually restoring his complexion to a rosy hue. The injuries he sustained from the shockwave had mostly healed, and while the remaining injuries would take time to heal, they did not hinder his movements at all.
"Alright, you guys should get going now. Don't stay here too long, or Teach might gamble again later."
If time weren't so tight, he could wait for Teach here. If the bastard still wanted to gamble, he could drag him to Sakazuki, and then the bastard would be completely finished.
But right now, there's no time to wait for that probability.
After obtaining the permanent pointer, Kuro soared into the sky, his body creating shockwaves as he headed straight for the direction the permanent pointer was pointing.
