It must be admitted that the Red-Haired Pirates have excellent teamwork.
Several officers can react instantly, relying on their combined Haki to exchange a few blows with anyone. These few blows are enough for Beckman or Shanks to react and enter the battlefield. If two people with Conqueror's Haki enter, anyone would feel their scalp tingle.
In a fight of this level, the essence can be discerned in an instant.
Given their current state, even using the Four Gods' Secret Techniques wouldn't easily break their defenses; they can withstand the attack.
No wonder he's one of the Four Emperors, no wonder he was able to hold off Kaido last time.
Because fighting would indeed be counterproductive; even if you won, you wouldn't gain anything.
Kaido is crazy, not stupid.
He must be stupid to go toe-to-toe with Shanks.
Kuro...
He's only concerned with saving face now. This guy is like a piece of stinky excrement on the street. Before, when passing by, you could only lift your foot to avoid smelling bad and just bear it.
But the excrement kept getting higher and higher, and it became so smelly that it had to be cleaned up, otherwise people would get covered in the stench just by passing by.
Then the pet owner needs to take their place.
Shanks, standing on the sampan, smiled at the floating Kuro: "How about it, my man, not bad, huh?"
Beckman instinctively lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "You won't find any flaws."
Their teamwork was indeed flawless.
Although they didn't win.
Defeating such a flying governor is extremely difficult; they've even lost their ships.
But the goal isn't to win.
Their goal is to stop Kuro; they can withdraw after a few days. It's not about winning.
Even if they only hold out for a day, they will still win because they have bought Luffy time.
Kuro understood this as well, so the longer he dragged it out, the more it meant he was going to lose.
"Why..."
Kuro sighed, glanced at them, and said meaningfully, "Don't be so happy before things are done. It's easy to get carried away and cause tragedy."
"I'm just very confident in my crew," Shanks said with a confident smile. "I've heard that your Navy considers us the most balanced and ironclad force among the Four Emperors. Although I don't like it, I have to admit that the analysis makes sense." Shanks shrugged.
Although he had a geographical advantage, the Four Emperors' crew was a powerful pirate group with strong and well-coordinated officers. It wouldn't be easy to defeat them.
“Indeed, if we were on land, I wouldn’t fight you so casually.” Kuro nodded, acknowledging this.
He didn't dare summon the continent from the sky. If that thing hit them well, it could sink them into the sea; if it hit them poorly, it would give them a landing point, making the fight even more difficult.
At sea, just right.
"But we're at sea..."
He floated into the air, looking down at Shanks and the others, his gaze gradually turning cold. "Let me teach you something. I am a Marine."
"What's wrong with the Navy?" Shanks asked with a smile.
Kuro slowly opened his wristwatch Den Den Mushi, dialed a number, and said, "The Navy represents the most powerful force on the sea, represents our superior numbers, represents... that you're not the only one with help, Lida."
"Here I am!"
A voice came from the Golden Lion above. Lida had already transformed into a young girl and was descending rapidly using Moonwalk, appearing above and behind Kuro.
"A beluga whale?"
Shanks looked up at her and said, "Everyone on the high seas knows how closely you watch her; you can't even let her get hurt. Little girl, you should go back. If you get injured, your boss will be furious."
Upon hearing this, Kuro frowned, gave Shanks a deep look, and said, "Shanks...you don't think I'm playing with you, do you? Have the battles you've faced before been too easy, or has everyone on the high seas been giving you face, making you so arrogant that you think your core will never be in danger?"
He gripped Luo Gui tightly and said slowly, "To force me into this form, it will be a real fight, drawing blood!"
Beckman instinctively frowned, sensing that something was off about what he was saying, and also that his stance was problematic.
The white whale was behind Kuro. Kuro abandoned the fight and chose to stand in front of the whale. Was it to protect her? Or...?
For some purpose?
“Make some noise, Lida,” Kuro said in a deep voice.
"I understand. When you called me, I absorbed energy from those unconscious marines and Crowe and the others."
Lida chuckled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Then she took a deep breath, clenched her right fist, and pulled it sharply to the left, as if she were about to throw a punch.
Beckman was a little confused. The pose looked somewhat familiar, but at this distance, even if he threw a punch...
"wrong!"
Beckman realized something, his eyes widened, and he stared incredulously at the hazy white light emanating from Lida's fist.
"That pose... Whitebeard!!" Beckman roared, "Watch out! There's going to be a tremor!!"
"The earth shook!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lida shouted and unleashed a blinding punch downwards with her fist, which was glowing white.
boom!!!
The shockwave from the Essence-Energy Fruit, accumulated at a single point, was released, causing the entire air to vibrate. The seawater around Shanks and the others trembled completely at this moment. Unlike the tsunami caused by Kuro, this vibration was all-encompassing, affecting the air itself. The executives were all unsteady and staggered from side to side.
